Chapter 59 - His majesty the pope who spreads the holy light (2) (2/2)

The divine realm had already collapsed.

Hundreds of years ago, a plague swept across the continent. Whether it was the human race or the elves or the evil heretical orcs, all faced an inexplicable sudden decline, and there was no cure. After the plague, the number of living beings on the mainland dropped by half.

At that time, the Pope of the faith of Light learned the truth through an Oracle from the God of light. The Armageddon, the strange plague, was caused by the gods taking the lives of their followers to supplement their divine power. The final result of the Armageddon was the fall of the gods and the collapse of the divine realm.

Lu Heng closed his eyes and pulled out from this huge repository of information. He turned to the statue and touched a dent in it with the ring on his middle finger 2. The seemingly seamless statue had a square-foot hollow opening. Lu Heng reached in and after fumbling a bit, he took out something.

Lu Heng was holding a statue in his hand. The soft outline of the face, the slightly raised corners of the eyes resembled him clearly, that is, it was the statue of the Pope.

On the mainland, inside the statues of the god of light in every temple, there is such a device. This is a secret that only the Pope and his close Cardinals have known for nearly a thousand years.

The God of Light has fallen, and there is no Holy Light from the God of Light. Where did the Pope and his disciples derive their power of light? This was the last Oracle from the Pope before the fall of the God of light, and also the Godfather of Lu Heng, to maintain the position of the Pope of light.

Inside the statues of light god, the statues carved by the pope with divine power were put in. This way, the power of faith can be gathered when the believers pray. The Pope transforms the power of faith into the power of light, and then sprinkles it into believers through statues.

It was also one of the final charges under which Joseph Belgorio VI was executed: defrauding of the name of God and deluding the believers across the world to gather power.

After removing the statue, Lu Heng put his hands in front of his chest and converted the power of faith collected by various temples in recent years into holy light.

Leiming City, in the palace.

Today, the new emperor ascended the throne, and all the famous nobles of the Bega Empire were gathered in the banquet hall. To be able to attend this banquet was the highest honor of all nobles. It is said that His Majesty the Pope will also attend the banquet.

In a discreet corner of the hall, a beautiful blonde girl frequently glanced at the front door of the hall. The girl looked like a teenager, but the atmosphere surrounding her was tranquil and gentle.

“Your highness, His majesty assured you that he would invite His Majesty the Pope to come, and he will definitely do it. When has his Majesty ever deceived you?” A woman dressed as a maid reassured her.

“Although my brother has said so, I am still very nervous. Pope is the person I admire most. I wish I can speak a few words with him this time.” 3

This girl was the sister of Emperor Surrey, Princess Windsor. Princess Windsor was pure-minded and practiced the power of light from an early age as a fanatical believer in the Pope of Light. The thing she longed for most was to see His Majesty, and it would have been better if she could get some of his instructions. However, she was only a probationary priest, and it was impossible to see the Pope.

The banquet hall suddenly quieted down. The crowd gave way to the aisle in the middle. Princess Windsor saw that it was the Pope who had arrived. At last, she acted as a girl befitting her age, lifted her skirt and ran forward with a brisk trot.

“Your Highness, be careful not to fall.” The maid chased after her, shouting. Although Princess Windsor only practiced the faith of light, yet her physique was much better than that of ordinary people, and the maid could not catch up with her at all.

Lu Heng was greeting Surrey when he heard something moving behind him. When he looked back, he saw a girl in a gorgeous dress trotting over.

The girl stopped in front of Lu Heng, raised her head halfway, and looked at Lu Heng with a pious gaze.

“Windsor.” Surrey looked at his sister being still as if she was frozen and coughed softly.

“Ah, sorry.” In response, Princess Windsor hastily saluted, “Your Majesty, Father Pope.”

Princess Windsor’s salute to Lu Heng was a disciple’s salute to their master.

“May the Light be with you.” Lu Heng put his hand gently on top of her head. This was the gesture of the Holy Father Pope to bless his disciples.

Princess Windsor, blessed by the Pope, was flushed with excitement.

“This is my sister, Windsor. She is a faithful believer in the God of Light. When she was eight years old, she had been baptized and is now a probationary priest.” Surrey introduced her to Lu Heng appropriately.

The girl in front of his eyes was full of the gentle power of the Holy Light. At first glance, she was seen to be a pure-minded devout.

Lu Heng nodded, and wanted to say a few words to the girl who gave him a gaze of adoration, but the crowd suddenly panicked.

The guard captain rushed over in a panic: “Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Dragon, it’s a giant dragon! ”
