This artificial thunderstorm only lasted for a little more than an hour, but the temperature was much higher. Bursts of cool wind were refreshing, and the previous heat and boredom were gone.
At this moment, the streets of Blue Moon City were already empty. Everyone stretched their necks and waited for the arrival of the Light God Emissary in their hearts. In other words, Light Pope Charles, this person who stood at the peak of Blue Waves Continent.
Suddenly, a deep and distant sound of a bell resounded, and on the stone path of the imperial palace, a magnificent imperial carriage appeared. This dragon carriage was left behind by the first emperor of Nalan Empire. After thousands of years, it was still as sturdy as ever. Its color didn't change, and it became the carriage of every new emperor of Nalan Empire. It was more than eight meters tall, ten meters long, and five meters wide. Several long silk curtains were erected on both sides, and they fluttered in the wind. And the carriage was pulled by eight spirited unicorns. Each unicorn had four strong limbs, graceful figure, and smooth silk-like fur. Moreover, there wasn't a single strand of discolored fur on their fur, which made people involuntarily feel a kind of shock.
Two rows of elite imperial cavalrymen opened the way from the left and right. They were heroic and high-spirited, with noble and inviolable holiness. As for Nalan Ruyue, she wore an empress robe and sat upright on the carriage, overlooking the numerous common people who were kneeling and saluting along the way. She was dignified and solemn, and the demeanor of an empress was clear.
Longyi held the little Lolita and flew in the sky, and inwardly nodded. Nalan Ruyue really didn't disappoint him.
The dragon carriage advanced very quickly, and not long after, it arrived at the north gate. Those sanctimonious priests only slightly saluted Nalan Ruyue. Although Nalan Ruyue was now not only the saintess of the Church of Light, but also an empress, priest was a noble profession. Other than kneeling in front of the Light Pope, all other people had to bow in salute. One could well imagine how much power the Church had in this era.
Longyi floated down from the sky with the little Lolita. His body was as light as a swallow, elegant and natural.
"Young Master Ximen, during this period of time, you have been elusive." Holy Priest Karen saw Longyi arriving. She smiled and went over to greet him.
"What? Does Holy Priest Korin miss me very much? " Longyi joked without a care in the world. He didn't seem to notice the fierce gazes of the priests and the sudden tension in the atmosphere. If Holy Priest Korin changed her expression, they would probably beat him up.
"What Young Master Ximen said is correct. Recently, I have been deeply worried about you. I think His Majesty the Supreme Pontiff is even more worried than me. After the coronation ceremony, His Majesty the Supreme Pontiff will look for Young Master Ximen and have a long talk." Karen, on the other hand, smiled and did not get angry. Instead, she said something that shocked everyone to death. Her words made everyone secretly speculate about the relationship between Longyi and Pope Charles.
"That's right, that's right. This Young Master has known His Highness the Pope for a long time, and I only caught a glimpse of him on the day of Yue 'er's wedding. It's a great pity. If there's a chance, I'll have to ask him for guidance. " Longyi chuckled. His words were polite, but his expression and tone seemed to be the complete opposite.
Karen and Longyi looked at each other and smiled. It was unknown whether they had a tacit understanding or they were harboring ulterior motives.
At this time, a myriad of rays of light suddenly fell from the horizon, and an auspicious aura rushed over like a tide. It made people feel as if they were bathing in the spring sunshine, and they felt extremely comfortable.
Suddenly, a milky white radiance appeared above the rays of light, and a figure indistinctly appeared in the middle of this radiance. In an instant, he appeared in the sky above the north gate of Blue Moon City. He was still dressed like a pretentious b * stard. A white halo appeared behind him, and two wing-like things suddenly took shape. A dense light aura filled the entire Blue Moon City.
"Your Majesty the Supreme Pontiff … …" Before all the priests saluted, a long line of common people who were watching from behind the city gate knelt down in unison. Each and every one of them had a pious look on their face as they prayed to Charles. All of them thought in their heart, being able to see the Supreme Pontiff in this life, they would truly die without regrets.
At this time, Holy Priest Karen took the lead to salute Charles. Nalan Ruyue, who was about to be crowned the Supreme Pontiff, was no exception. Moreover, she was the Saintess of the church, and she was already accustomed to this kind of etiquette.
As for Longyi, he straightened his back and looked at Charles with a trace of an indescribable smile on his face. Now that this old fellow had a request for him, he didn't even need to put on an act.
Charles' bemoaning the state of the universe and pitying the fate of mankind didn't change. He looked at Longyi for a little while, and a trace of fanaticism flashed in his eyes. As long as Longyi could solve the mystery of the Light Spirit Tablet and allow him to inherit the godly position, he could tolerate any rude behavior of Longyi and agree to any request.
"Everyone, rise. The great Light God will protect his believers, dispel all evil, and let the good live forever." Pope Charles used his bewitching and deep voice to speak. He waved his hands and tens of thousands of specks of white light sprinkled down. When the white light entered their bodies, everyone felt their bones become lighter, and all the pores in their body opened up in comfort. Their hearts became even more pious, and they fervently chanted the slogan of the Church of Light.
"Brother-in-law, why does the Supreme Pontiff have wings behind his back?" Under the influence of Longyi, the little loli didn't look at the Supreme Pontiff of Light as if she had seen a deity. Instead, she asked curiously.
"That's a fake. Brother-in-law can do it too," Long Yi said.
Just a moment ago, I felt that he was a little scary, but now, I just feel that way. " Nalan Rumeng innocently bit Longyi's ear. Her senses couldn't be said to be weak. She had actually captured the fanaticism of the Supreme Pontiff that was concealed very well.
"He is the number one swindler in the world. He uses the name of the Light God to swindle and swindle people. You see, these people are all kept in the dark by him," Longyi said with a light smile.
"Then, isn't big sister also being swindled by him? Why didn't brother-in-law tell big sister?" Nalan Rumeng angrily said.
"Your big sister … … actually, she already knows. Now, she is deliberately pretending to be swindled. You can't tell anyone about this matter. Your big sister doesn't allow brother-in-law to tell anyone." Longyi said as if he was coaxing a child. In fact, he wasn't sure how Nalan Ruyue would choose if he really shed all pretense of cordiality with the Supreme Pontiff. Sometimes, the power of religious brainwashing was very frightening. What he was doing now was to subtly influence and liberate Nalan Ruyue's soul that was bound by dogma.
The coronation ceremony was naturally carried out in the Blue Moon City's Light Church. All the nobles and ministers were present and countless common people were the witnesses.
—
First, the Supreme Pontiff read the monotonous articles of the church and sang praises to the great Light God. Of course, indirectly, he was also singing praises to himself.
Next, a series of cumbersome ceremonies, one after another, made Longyi drowsy, but Nalan Ruyue didn't show the slightest bit of sleepiness. She dignified and pious, not daring to be the slightest bit careless.
"Brother-in-law, it's so boring." Nalan Rumeng curled up in Longyi's bosom and softly complained.
"It just so happens that brother-in-law is also bored. Brother-in-law will take you out to get some fresh air." Longyi softly said. He then pulled Nalan Rumeng's little hand and boldly stood up in front of everyone. They actually ignored the row of light warriors blocking their way and walked into the side hall.
However, since the Supreme Pontiff didn't say anything, how could other people dare to stop Longyi? In addition, the previous conversation between Longyi and Holy Priest Karen made people unable to guess the relationship between Longyi and the Supreme Pontiff. However, they also knew that the relationship between Longyi and the Supreme Pontiff wasn't shallow.
"Brother-in-law, you are amazing. That Supreme Pontiff is really a big liar. He didn't even dare to say a word when he saw brother-in-law coming out." Nalan Rumeng worshiped.
"That's right. In front of brother-in-law, no matter how arrogant they are, they are all paper tigers. If brother-in-law says one thing, they won't dare to say another." Longyi felt elated and boasted. In any case, he didn't need to pay taxes for boasting.
After passing through the long corridor of the Light Church, Longyi arrived at a small courtyard. He raised his head and looked up. He saw a huge statue of Light God at the top of the Light Church. It had eight wings spread out majestically. It was somewhat imposing.
Longyi remembered the first time he saw the statue of Light God in the Light City, the largest city in the northern part of the Dragon Empire. He felt disdain. Now, after so many years, he had a different feeling. In the past, he didn't believe in the existence of God. But now, he believed. The organization that the Light God used to spread his faith in the Blue Waves Continent, the Church of Light, had already changed. But he thought that perhaps the original intention of the Light God wasn't so. Perhaps he really wanted to spread the faith of kindness to others. But in the changing times, some ambitious people in power became a tool to control the entire world.
At this moment, the Dark God was in the dark space of Lost City. The Lightning God had already turned into ashes. Then, where was the Light God? And where were the other Gods? What exactly happened in Divine World? These were all questions that Longyi couldn't figure out no matter how hard he racked his brains. Sometimes, he clearly felt that he was already close to the truth. But in the end, he was still shrouded in fog.
"Rumeng, now the weather is just right. How about we go up and enjoy the wind?" Long Yi asked Nalan Rumeng.
"Okay, okay. The wings of the Light God are so big. How about we ride on it?" Nalan Rumeng really dared to say. She wasn't afraid that the common people kneeling below would drown her with their saliva.
But in this world, there was nothing that Longyi didn't dare to do. He had been living in the body of the Dark God for several years. Didn't nothing happen to him? Why would he be afraid of a statue of the Light God?
"No problem. Today, we will ride on the body of the Light God." Longyi smiled and hugged Nalan Rumeng's slender waist. Then, like a wisp of smoke, they appeared on the huge wings of the Light God statue in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, the square of the Light Church was filled with common people kneeling on the ground. Each and every one of them was mumbling something. Basically, no one raised their head.
"Damn, riding on the body of the Light God is so cool." Longyi laughed.
"But brother-in-law, I want to pee now." Nalan Rumeng said to Longyi with a slightly red face.
