Chapter 853 (1/2)
A chapel in an unknown fishing village in Lake City, principality of Byrne.
The dawn of midsummer shines on the clear silver mirror lake. Fishermen in twos and threes walk to the chapel next to the village. The humble stone door is full of believers ready to pray.
Of course, there can't be so many believers in a small fishing village. Many of them are residents of the surrounding villages and towns. Some even wear gold and silver and wear luxurious clothes - they come from the city in the middle of the lake on the other side of the lake before the sun rises, just in order to catch a short morning lecture.
The young priest with scriptures in his hands stood behind the podium. His black robe had been washed gray and white, with several patches.
Bleary eyed, he still had the same smile on his mouth, greeted friendly and familiar believers, and more people who came from admiration were stunned by the priest's age.
The moment he stepped onto the platform, an excited old man suddenly got up.
”Excuse me...?!”
The next second, when he found that the eyes of the people around him were looking at him, the old man suddenly found himself the only one standing in the church. He was at a loss and in a dilemma.
The young priest was surprised, then smiled and raised his hand. ”It doesn't matter, old Sir. If you have anything to say, please say it - the Holy Cross asked our servants to walk on the ground for him to answer the believers' questions.”
”Please, excuse me...” the old man swallowed his saliva, with incredible shock in his eyes: ”do you really think that wizards can also get God's blessing and become believers of the Holy Cross
As soon as the voice fell, there were boos inside and outside the church - almost everyone had an expression of ”he really asked this”, looked at each other and shook his head.
The priest smiled and waved his hand to the other believers to be quiet.
”Well, although you are this month,” you were nominated by Byrne Cathedral one day ago, exactly 27 hours ago. 300 priests with voting rights of Byrne church voted overnight, and 300 votes passed unanimously. Everyone unanimously recommended you to become the new Byrne Catholic Church! ”
”Next, when you go to the red blood castle, meet the Duke of Byrne, take the oath of office in Byrne Cathedral, and accept the scepter, ribbon, crown and ring... You will truly and thoroughly become the bishop of Byrne.”
The church was silent.
