Five days had passed.
Tomorrow was the day of the "Holy Son's Canonization Ceremony".
All the invited guests had arrived at White Cliff. Rex The Great of the Long Huang Empire was among them, as well as his "abandoned" "fiancée", the Pearl Princess Rambis of the Rayo Empire.
Rambis came with Emperor Covalonte. Generally speaking, the king would bring the crown prince or the children who were most likely to become the heir. Firstly, it was to cultivate connections by witnessing this ceremony; secondly, it was also a courtesy to show respect for the church. Victor and the other princes did not accompany them. In a sense, this had already shown Emperor Covalonte's preference in choosing the heir to the throne.
As the "victim", Princess Rambis had not expressed any opinion on "Arthur's" upcoming canonization as the Holy Son after she was rejected for marriage and made a vow of celibacy. She seemed quite silent.
Of course, the human world was not like the Demon Realm. With the emergence of magic newspapers and magic television, the new profession of "reporter" was born. For the time being, the reporters of the Demon Realm were just serious "news workers". It was believed that with the gradual strengthening of the entertainment of newspapers and television, a series of "gossip" entertainment reporters with the characteristics of the Demon Realm would be born accordingly.
Rex The Great arrived at White Cliff 2 days earlier than Covalonte. He also brought a princess. This princess was different from Rambis. She had nothing to do with the word "heir", but her relationship with "Arthur" was closer than that of Rambis.
Fei 'er. Roland.
"Arthur" was the younger sister of the same mother, the only younger sister.
However, Rex The Great bringing Fei 'er here was obviously perfunctory about the so-called etiquette. As everyone knew, "Arthur" was pushed out of the Dragon Bright Empire by Rex the Great. Of course, "Arthur" was too dazzling, and as an emperor, it was inevitable that he would have some scruples. However, from another perspective, it also reflected that although Rex the Great had the ability to govern a country, he had no tolerance for others.
After "Arthur" left the Long Huang Empire, he was recruited by the church immediately. They did not hesitate to throw out the "Holy Son's position" as a bargaining chip. According to the heavy news deliberately leaked by the church, this "Holy Son" was 100% going to become the next Pope.
On one side was the future emperor of the empire, and on the other side was the future Pope of the Church of Light. Anyone could tell who was better with their eyes closed. For Rex The Great, who had "abandoned" his son and even severed ties with him for the sake of power, this news was tantamount to a slap in the face.
No matter what, at the request of the church, Rex The Great participated in this ceremony as a special guest. After all, this was a grand ceremony for the "future Pope". As the monarch of the Holy Empire, even if it was just out of courtesy, he had to attend.
If he came, it would be a slap in the face. If he didn't come, it would be even more embarrassing.
However … it seemed that this time, Rex The Great intended to go all the way. As soon as he arrived, he did another ungentlemanly thing.
It was said that Rex The Great met with the three heads of the Sacred Mountain in private and claimed that the current "Arthur" was not his son. The soul that occupied "Arthur's" body was very likely another suspicious soul.
Unfortunately, whether it was Fendis or the other two patriarchs, none of them cared about this. Many people saw that when Rex The Great left the hall that day, his face was completely black.
On the second day of this "failed private meeting", no one knew who spread the relevant news. As a result, Rex The Great was naturally humiliated.
Even the kings of those kingdoms could not help but look at him strangely. You have already severed ties with "Arthur", why do you still insist on going all the way? Now that things have come to this point, you still want to slander him to prove that you are right? This was no longer a problem of being petty.
To put it nicely, it was called bigotry. To put it bluntly, it was called idiocy.
As a matter of fact, Chen Rui had already "confessed" to Raphael about the fact that he had a brand-new soul after receiving the inheritance of the ancient alchemy civilization. And Raphael's meaning was also very clear. What he wanted was the "Holy Son" who could cast "Divine Favor". As for whether Chen Rui was "Arthur" or "Prince", it did not matter at all.
Now, no matter what, Chen Rui was already the "Holy Son". Rex The Great could only be regarded as a villain in vain.
In this farcical "story background", the canonization ceremony of the "Holy Son" of the Church of Light had begun.
That day was an important day for the Church of Light and the entire human world. The monarchs of various empires and kingdoms in the human world had participated in this canonization ceremony that far exceeded the standard of the ordinary "Holy Son". Even the elves, dwarves and Dragons had sent representatives to participate.
The hill dwarves and the cave dwarves had merged into one. They sent Elder Aska while the forest dwarves sent the mechanic grand master, Bernard.
In addition to the mechanic grand master, Fenoah, the elves also had a female elf elder. It was said that when this elf elder named Qi Lanya appeared, she was immediately welcomed by the eight-winged angel, Kamel. Obviously, she was a senior elder with an outstanding identity and strength. Since the cooperation with the church in magic firearms, magic games and other fields, the relationship between the two parties that had always been rigid began to break. This time, sending Qi Lanya and Fenoah to participate in the ceremony was considered giving enough face.
Similarly, the Dragons who had a cooperative relationship with the church also showed their importance and sent a super elder. It was the representative specially appointed by the Dragon Emperor, Stanwil.
Although Stanwil lost to Meria in the battle for the position of the Great Elder, he was beaten up by the son-in-law of the Fairy Dragon's Great Elder, and he lost all his wealth by disrupting the wedding, he had bad luck. However, Stanwil was a Saint-dragon after all, so he was still valued by the Dragon Emperor Palgoris. During this time, he was responsible for the foreign affairs of the Dragons and the cooperation with other races. As the main person in charge of contact and cooperation with the church, it was reasonable for Stanwil to attend this ceremony.
Stanwil bit the bullet and came this time. The Saint-dragon Great Elder was very clear in his heart. This so-called "Arthur" was simply Meria's perverted son-in-law, "Richard". The word "brother-in-law" had become a nightmare that he couldn't get rid of.
These self-righteous humans were all fooled by this guy. However, His Majesty the Dragon Emperor had issued an absolute gag order in the entire clan. He even made Stanwil swear the most vicious oath in front of him to keep it confidential. Therefore, Stanwil wouldn't leak any relevant information. Let those silly church fakes be cheated. By the way, there are also the 3 Supreme Angels. This damn "Richard" will never do anything that he isn't confident about. I'm waiting to watch a good show.
In addition, there were also the 2 human mechanic grand masters, Chicue and Faraceni. The former witnessed the "birth" of grand master "Arthur" with his own eyes, so he appreciated it a lot. As for the latter, he had never interacted with Chen Rui. It was said that he even expressed doubts about the title of "the top human mechanic grand master" on certain occasions. However, just after the elf grand master, Fenoa, publicly expressed his admiration for "Arthur"'s mechanics, Faraceni's "doubts" also disappeared. Because regardless of skills, age, and qualifications, Fenoa was recognized as the strongest mechanic grand master. Even Fenoa appreciated "Arthur" so much, so "Arthur" definitely deserved his reputation. As for whether Faraceni acknowledged the "top grand master" in his heart, it was unknown.
Holy Mountain.
Peak of Holy Favor, Cloud Plateau.
The sun was shining brightly and there were no clouds in the sky.
Under everyone's attention, the prince "Arthur" appeared in sight.
Today, "Arthur" was wearing a white robe. The white robe was inlaid with exquisite silver edges, showing a simple yet elegant charm. "Arthur" was originally very handsome. With his blond hair and white robe, his whole body was surrounded by a holy aura. Just from his appearance alone, he did indeed have the feeling of a dragon or phoenix among men.
Rambis watched "Arthur" set foot on the red carpet leading to the Holy Brilliant Platform. She thought to herself: No wonder "Arthur" promised her and used the public rejection of marriage in exchange for the Holy Grail. He even easily withdrew from the political stage of the Long Huang Empire (Rambis didn't think "Arthur" would be defeated so easily). It turns out that he has such a bigger "stage" and doesn't care about the ordinary throne at all.
That secret deal had ended, and they didn't owe each other anything. In fact, Rambis even got the upper hand in terms of benefits. However, the two of them could be considered acquaintances. If they could maintain a friendly relationship, it would be quite beneficial for her to completely control the Rayo Empire in the future.
Rex stared at the figure who didn't even look at him. His seemingly indifferent and hostile eyes were faintly flashing with inexplicable emotions. Fei 'er's eyes, on the other hand, were filled with unconcealable admiration. Although she was told that the "Holy Son" wasn't her brother, the girl felt that she did have such a "brother" in her heart. Especially after he returned, he took care of her more like a real "brother" instead of a "royal brother".
The elves and dwarves were relatively calmer. Putting aside the elder of the hill dwarves, the dwarf grand master Berndt, like Qi Lanya and Finoa, was also an insider. He knew that something that might shock the entire Holy Mountain of Light would definitely happen today, so he was more interested in watching the show.
The person who gloated the most was a representative of the Dragons — Keep pretending, keep pretending.
Under all kinds of gazes, Chen Rui walked up to the Holy Glorious Platform step by step.
On the Holy Glorious Platform, the three giants of the Holy Mountain of Light were Pope Fendis, Patriarch Pusmir, and Saintess Eudora of the Patriarch.
However, these three giants weren't the real highlight of the ceremony today. Even "Arthur" wasn't the real protagonist today.
The protagonist should be Raphael, one of the three supreme angels of the God of Light. This powerful and honorable existence would come to this ceremony to confer the title on "Arthur".
"Arthur" had already walked up to the Holy Glorious Platform. Fendis stood up and began to read out his speech.
After reading out his speech, the ceremony officially began. However, Pope Fendis didn't immediately announce the conferment of "Arthur". Instead, he introduced "Arthur's" achievements, including getting the recognition of the three holy relics, destroying the main altar of the heathen, and so on.
Many of the guests felt that the usually concise Pope Fendis' speech was a little long today, and he didn't get to the main point. It seemed like … he was delaying something?
Gradually, Fendis couldn't delay any longer. He could only try his best to prolong the time of his speech.
Because it was time for Raphael to show up. Raphael would announce "Arthur" as the Holy Son. The Holy Son would also transform one hundred Templar Knights into Light Body Types in front of all the guests. They would be baptized by Raphael and become the most devout believers.
The problem was, until now, Lord Raphael still hadn't shown up? Fendis, who was trying his best to "write", couldn't help but sweat beads on his forehead.
