Chapter 1037 (1/2)
The God of war ceremony is the most important ceremony in the Federation of the northern principality.
Basically, every child born in the Federation of the northern principality can obtain various strength improvements and increases in this ceremony. Because the God of war ceremony is held during the adult ceremony of all children in the Federation of the northern principality, the God of war ceremony is also known as the ”God of war adult ceremony”. Compared with the adult ceremony held by children in other countries and empires, it is weak.
Of course, it is not that no other countries and empires want to follow suit, but the God of war ceremony is indeed non replicable and unique. At least, no blessing given by any God can permanently improve a person's strength and potential, and even have a far-reaching beneficial impact on his future. People of federal origin in the northern principality also officially rely on this to make this country with abnormal federal form into a super first-class kingdom.
Located in the core of the federal territory of the northern principality: the marz Cathedral, dozens of God of war ceremonies are held every day. According to the scores of the comprehensive evaluation of the potential and achievements of all young people who successfully arrived here after participating in the principality tour ceremony, the level of the ceremonial hall where they held the God of war ceremony is also different. The ceremonial hall that most people can use is level 2, that is, the normal level.
Only a small number of people are eligible to use the level III ceremony hall. As for the level IV ceremony hall, only those real talents with excellent assessment and evaluation are qualified to use it. Even the internal clergy of the God of war church have no right to change and hide this rule.
Even mulu, the only son of the Pope, used only the second-class ceremonial hall.
The Marz cathedral has 49 ritual halls. Each of the seven ceremonial halls is a theme style, with two level-1 ceremonial halls, two level-2 ceremonial halls, two level-3 ceremonial halls and one level-4 ceremonial hall. The 49 ceremonial halls have seven themes, symbolizing the seven clerical fields of War: battle, war, strategy, conquest, killing, glory and destruction.
However, according to Andrew, after the fall of the second generation God of war Agathon, the God of war clergy was broken into five large pieces and six small pieces.
The complete deity mastered by the God of war Malz is battle and war, and another third of conquest and killing. Another main god belonging to the same war clergy system: the goddess of victory, viinnas, mastered the complete divinity of strategy and glory, as well as one-third of the divinity of conquest and killing. As for the remaining third of the gods of conquest, killing and complete destruction, it fell to the God of destruction, potias.
In other words, marz is not really the God of war. His claim of the God of war is just deceiving his believers. Because of this, the relationship between the God of war church, the victory church and the destruction church is not harmonious.
However, in addition to the ceremonial hall with seven themes, there is another ceremonial hall with the largest scale: the God of war hall.
This ceremonial hall, also known as the Council hall, is not only a place for the God of war ceremony for the son and daughter, but also a place for discussion when the Federation of the northern principality holds a meeting.
Originally, every day, countless people lined up to hold the God of war ceremony in the ceremony hall.
However, with the arrival of the saint and the preparation of the saint's God of war ceremony, the forty-nine ritual halls have stopped the God of war ceremony. All young people who arrive at the Martz cathedral to prepare for the God of war ceremony must wait until the end of the saint's God of war ceremony, so as to show their respect for the God of war and the saint.
The God of war hall is located in the middle of the seven theme ceremony halls. In other words, no matter which ritual hall the believers who accept the God of war ceremony want to go to, they must follow the road to the God of war hall. When the Federal Assembly of the northern principality and the God of war ceremony of the son and daughter are not held, the God of war hall is open. After arriving at the God of war hall, all believers who perform the God of war ceremony need to worship the statue of marz in the God of war hall.
But today is different.
Due to the closure of the other seven theme ceremony halls, only the God of war hall is still open, but the surrounding security is obviously very strict.
At the eight gates of the God of war hall, a team composed of 20 God of war Knights stood guard. As for the number of Ares knights and Ares priests patrolling the periphery, there are more. It can even be said that the whole God of war church has been out at the moment, so that Emily's God of war ceremony can be carried out smoothly.
On the way to the God of war hall, there are exquisite flowers and trees trimmed manually and various sculptures of knights and soldiers. It can be seen from this that although the God of war church also has its own divinity priests, it still focuses more on the profession focusing on hand to hand combat in essence, which is quite different from the victory Church - the believers of the goddess of victory weinas pay more attention to the development of tactics and strategy, and their church profession has a more balanced development, From long-range attack to close combat, it is very consistent with the impression and practice of the divine personality of ”strategy”.
A special guard composed of more than 100 ares knights is slowly moving towards the gate of the Ares hall.
In the middle of the team is Emily, the new saint of the God of war church.
At this time, eight chambermaids of the God of war and Muru, a black robed priest, should have accompanied Emily to the God of war hall. But at the moment, Emily was followed by two black priests with their hoods covered and their hands inserted into each other's sleeves, who could not see their identity and gender.
This kind of behavior is a very impolite behavior in the Marz cathedral.
Under normal circumstances, any bodyguard patrolling the Marz cathedral has the right to ask the priest to lift his hood for identification. But this time, the hundreds of God of war Knights around took a laissez faire attitude towards this situation and had no intention of identifying each other, which could not help but make the God of war Knights standing at the door of the God of war hall feel some doubts.
But even the saint Emily didn't say anything, and others naturally wouldn't say anything.
Watching this large-scale team slowly move forward, the Pope of the God of war church immediately went out to meet him with several internal clergy and God of war waitresses. However, when he saw that there were no eight God of war waitresses arranged by himself in the team, and even his son mulu was not present, his eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and even his pupils were a little surprised. His eyes were full of doubt and kindness to the two black robed priests who followed Emily.
Andrew and Sean, naturally, have a panoramic view of all this.
They also clearly saw that the Pope was secretly observing hundreds of Ares knights in eight groups. However, from his eyes, it was obvious that the result was to disappoint him, because he did not see those ares knights who had secretly taken refuge in him in this team. But this state seemed to make him make up his mind and straighten his waist.
”Saint.” The Pope, who was not very old, spoke in a deep voice, and his tone had a sense of dignity consistent with his status. ”The God of war hall is the most important core forbidden area of the church. You not only came here with such a great fanfare, but also set up this battle array. Do you want to disrespect our Lord?”
”Then, your holiness, please tell me.” Emily's voice was cold, which was in line with the so-called Saint image, but her tone and attitude were obviously not like a new saint. ”What are so many God of war knights and combat priests doing outside the God of war hall? Who arranged them here, and who is disrespectful to our Lord Does the Pope want to replace our Lord? ”
”Your Highness!” The Pope's voice became particularly low, as if full of anger was about to erupt, ”they are the guard Knights of the Marz cathedral and are specially responsible for the safety of the whole marz Cathedral! Today, your God of war ceremony will be held here, so they are specially asked to come here for protection... ”
”No need.” Emily said lightly, but she mercilessly interrupted the Pope, ”the safety of the cathedral is more important than my personal safety. Both the son and the daughter are just containers for the coming of our Lord's will. We are just symbols, but we are not the only and not everything. On the contrary, the Marz cathedral is the most important core, which is the Holy Land symbolizing the supremacy of our Lord! Let them all return to their respective posts, and my guard will be responsible for my safety. ”
”Your guard?” The Pope laughed angrily, ”I don't know who you mean by the guard, your highness?”
”Lord Pope, are you too old to see clearly?” Emily said mercilessly, ”if so, I think you should give up the position of Pope.”
In an instant, the Pope's face turned red. He directly stretched out his hand, pointed to Emily and shouted, ”presumptuous! Even if you are a saint, you have no right to intervene in the political problems within the church. As the Pope of the God of war church, I was appointed by my Lord, which is the recognition of my devout faith Emily, are you trying to rebel? ”
”Don't button these hats on me, because it's meaningless.” Emily still played down the Pope's accusations, ”if the Lord only recognized your position as Pope because of your piety, then I think my presence is enough to replace your position In that case, there is no difference between having you and not having you. You can step down. ”
At this point, Emily's eyes had directly crossed the Pope, and then fell on the top leaders of various departments of the God of war church behind him. However, her eyes were still cold, especially when she saw one or two indifferent God of war waitresses around these people, Emily's inner anger almost reached the top.
”You don't need to guard here. Go back to your posts.” Emily forced down her anger, glanced slightly at the God of war Knights guarding the God of war Hall who had not sorted out the current situation, and whispered, ”please inform others before you leave.”
All the Ares Knights looked at each other, but no one left. They obviously didn't understand what was going on. Of course, the most important thing is that Emily's orders are leapfrog orders. According to the church rules of the God of war church, this is not in line with the rules, so it's normal for these God of war Knights not to listen.
Sean and Andrew remained silent throughout the whole process.
