This Paladin is so despicable!.

Chapter 568 Grand Ceremony

It was almost noon when the envoy team arrived at their destination, the holy city.

In order to welcome the delegation from the Holy Mountain, the Holy City naturally prepared a very grand welcome ceremony.

Of course, this was not their original plan.

According to the plans of these ignorant Holy Church leaders, this was supposed to be an extremely awkward and even somewhat hostile welcoming ceremony.

The purpose is of course still the same, which is simply to embarrass the so-called Holy Spirit's special envoys and give them a big warning.

But as the special envoys approached, the hearts of the top leaders of the cult began to waver.

After all, those miracles one after another are no joke.

In the end, even the top leaders of the cult began to believe in God's messengers.

If this continues, before the Holy Mountain even launches an attack, the Divine Cult will have already raised the white flag.

Therefore, the top leaders of the Divine Religion urgently organized such a grand yet hasty welcoming ceremony.

It was grand because there were many people participating in the ceremony. In addition to the vast majority of the high-ranking officials of the Divine Religion, there were also a large number of people from the Holy City who participated spontaneously.

The reason for the haste is that many of the facilities and objects used in this ceremony were obviously made in a hurry. Some of the paints have not yet dried, and they look like they have just come out of the oven.

At the end of the welcoming ceremony, Wright saw the four top leaders of the Cult of God.

The Pope of the Church of God and the three archbishops of red, black and white.

It must be said that although this world is not a world grazed by gods, it reveals traces of being grazed everywhere.

At least in terms of common human language and religious structure, the universal version is basically used.

This is the same as the Holy Light World.

The Great World of Light was most likely occupied by a certain god, and turned from the pasture of the gods into the private property of this god.

“Praise the Holy Spirit!”

The Pope came forward very warmly and bowed deeply to Wright who had just got off the carriage.

This action immediately shocked other clergy and people.

You know, the Pope is the person with the highest status in the Church of Light.

Even now that the Holy Mountain is at its peak, the name of God's Messenger is known throughout the continent.

But in terms of weight, it is still a little bit inferior to that of the Pope.

It’s not that the Pope himself is so great, but it’s because of the deep understanding of this status that everyone has had over the years.

Seeing the Pope saluting him, although Wright had a blank expression on his face, he had already begun to sneer in his heart.

What a great move to turn retreat into advance!

The Pope continued this grand ceremony and suddenly did this.

In the hearts of the people, this expression of humility and enthusiasm will surely remain.

But his status was so high that he immediately put himself in a high position.

This is like an elder suddenly meeting young people as peers.

If a young person returns the gift in a normal way, it will appear that he is ignorant and does not know the order of seniority! The public's impression of him will decline.

But if young people return the greetings to their elders with the etiquette of juniors, it seems as if it is natural.

What actually happened was that the messenger representing the Holy Mountain bowed to the Pope representing the Holy Court.

In terms of master-servant relationship, it can be said that it has fallen directly to the bottom.

When people see this, they will think - Oh, it seems that orthodoxy is still orthodoxy, and what about the messenger of the Holy Mountain? In the end, he will still be inferior to the Pope, right?
Since this relationship was finalized in such a grand manner in front of everyone, anything done afterwards would be fraught with difficulties.

The most vicious thing is that, judging from the expressions of the other three archbishops nearby, the Pope did not tell anyone about this move in advance.

Not to mention the three bishops, all the clergymen of the entire religion present were at a loss as to what to do.

Just based on this point, Wright raised the Pope's danger level by two levels in his mind.

As the saying goes, for some decisions, the fewer people who know about them, the better.

This seems simple, but it is difficult to do in practice.

Only by keeping it secret and leading without firing a shot can great things be accomplished!

Many things in ancient and modern times have failed because of people's carelessness in speaking.

This Pope is not only resourceful, but also scheming and difficult to deal with.

This happened suddenly during the welcome ceremony, in a flash, leaving Wright with little time to react.

After all, the other party has already saluted, so I can't just stand there stupidly and think of a solution.

Any hesitation would be considered very rude to outsiders.

These people themselves look down on the origin of the Holy Mountain, believing that it is a poor, remote and desolate mountain area.

If one loses touch with etiquette, people will exaggerate him as a savage who has no manners.

During the ceremony, the Pope performed this simple courtesy. If it were anyone else, they would have been misled.

But Wright was calm and collected. In the astonished eyes of everyone, he actually took out a copy of "The Book of Light" from his arms, and then raised his hands high with solemnity.

"Praise the light!"

At this moment, the object of the Pope's worship changed from him, the messenger of God, to the "Book of Light" in the messenger's hand.

You know, the cover of the divine book also has the image of the Holy God of Light printed on it.

Even the Pope has to pray when he sees the statue. If you really look into the etiquette just now, it is actually disrespectful to the gods.

The Pope's face suddenly became a little ugly, but he still kept his balance and added a prayer to the Holy Book of Light that Wright was holding high.

"Praise the light!"

The other onlookers then woke up as if from their dream, and they all knelt down and prayed together.

"Praise the light!"

"This is the Book of Light that I carry with me. It also contains my annotations and revisions, as well as my personal understanding of the meaning of the book. It is a small gift for His Holiness the Pope."

The Pope took the book awkwardly: "That is really a precious gift! I will definitely keep it well...

Mr. God's messenger must have had a hard time on the journey.

We have your messengers for you..."

The Pope looked at the familiar faces behind Wright and gritted his teeth.

When we sent them out, we never thought that they would return home in glory in this way!
In order to boost the reputation of Saint Aelor, the members of this special envoy group were all top-notch. It is no exaggeration to say that they are the future pillars of the Holy See.

I thought it would be a good experience, but I ended up losing everything and being caught in one swoop.

This incident almost caused a talent gap in the entire Divine Court!
Now, we have become someone else's envoys.

The Pope felt a stomachache at the thought of this.

It’s so infuriating. Not only did these people not change their clothes, they even drove back the same carriage.

Aren't you really afraid of accidentally angering yourself, the Pope, to death?
“We have prepared a luxurious welcoming dinner for everyone!

Hals will take everyone to the temporary residence of the delegation in a moment. Hals, come here."

Following the Pope's call, a knight of light wearing heavy armor hurried over and knelt on the ground with a bang.

"Your Holiness the Pope! Lord God's Envoy! Knight of Light Hals, come to see you!"

“Well, you are responsible for leading the envoys to the accommodation prepared by the Divine Court.

"While Mr. God's Envoy is in the Holy City, you will be responsible for all food, clothing, and daily safety issues. Do you understand?"

"Yes! Hals will definitely not let down the Pope!"

The tin stood up and made a gesture of invitation to Wright: "Lord God's Messenger, please come this way."

Wright nodded slightly, said goodbye to the Pope and others, and then led the entire delegation to follow Iron Can Hals out of the gate of the Holy City and headed towards the manor where they were staying.

Now that he, the main person, had left, the welcoming ceremony naturally came to an end. The clergy left one after another, and the people also dispersed one after another.

Saint Aurora found an opportunity, took Jenny and left the convoy, and ran towards the cardinal not far away.

After all, she is just a little girl of sixteen or seventeen. She has been away from home and her family for such a long time that she still misses them deep down.

As for Jenny, she exchanged a glance with Wright before leaving, and everything was said without words.

As a messenger of God, Light is the biggest and brightest light bulb in the holy city. Wherever he goes, there are people following him, and he basically cannot move freely.

Arlo was extremely important and could not afford any mistakes. It was the best choice to have Jenny accompany her and protect her as a close friend.

Not long after the two little witches left the team, Wright, led by the Knight of Light Harris, stopped outside the gate of a small courtyard.

I have to say, the accommodation that the Divine Court found for them is really good.

Being able to build such a large manor in the holy city where every inch of land is valuable can no longer be described as luxurious, it is simply corruption.

"My Lord, are you satisfied here?"

Wright rubbed his chin: "It's okay."

He was not bragging when he said this. Given that the Great World of Light and the Great World of Holy Light were extremely similar, the Holy City of Holy Light and the Holy City of Light were also very similar.

Wright has a small courtyard in the center of the City of Holy Light. Although it is not as big as this one, its location is much better than this one.

In a big city like this, location is what's valuable.

Sometimes, just across a street, the property values ​​of two areas can differ by two or three levels.

But Wright didn't come here to enjoy life this time, it's pretty good to live here.

The most important thing is that it is big enough to accommodate all the special envoys.

The other members of the delegation do not have as strong a background as Aurora.

If they leave the mission now and wander around outside at will, Wright really won't be able to tell whether they will be in danger or not.

After all, faith is always associated with madness and paranoia.

People hate those they see as traitors even more.

In order to prevent these people from doing anything extreme, it is better to let them stay by your side.

After sending the special envoys to the destination, Harris did not leave immediately, but summoned teams of Knights of Light and Holy Guards to guard the entire manor.

The surrounding streets were directly cleared, and patrol teams were on duty back and forth.

Wright was very surprised. He didn't expect that the Vatican would attach so much importance to him and do such a good job in defense.

But he soon saw that many fanatical believers were trying to break through these defense lines just to see him and listen to his teachings.

Only then did Wright realize that these so-called measures and guards were not intended to protect the safety of the special envoy delegation.

On the contrary, they did this to prevent the special envoys from coming into contact with the people of the Holy City.

It seems that during the time that Wright brought his people here, the Vatican had a deep understanding and recognition of his missionary and preaching abilities.

They were afraid that if they went to their hometown and preached, all the believers here would rebel.

That would be a real loss of home due to carelessness.

"This is to protect me... Hehe, I'm really flattered."

Wright slowly closed the window on the second floor and turned around to sit on the sofa.

In fact, the Vatican was worrying too much.

Wright did not come here to spread his own teachings, nor did he intend to dig up their roots.

Everything he did was to find out the current situation of the Holy Spirit of Light through official channels without alerting the enemy.

But to be honest, by the time they arrived at their destination, most of Wright's guesses had been confirmed.

After all, he performed so many extraordinary miracles, but the one above didn't even react at all.

This further confirmed Wright's guess—something went wrong with the Holy Spirit of Light.

No matter what happened, we need to obtain the authority of the Holy See and contact the gods through formal channels in an official capacity as the Holy See.

"I hope the actual situation is better than I imagined."

Light sighed and put his hands behind his head.

With a thought, he set up several protective magic arrays around himself, and then set up magic arrays for the entire manor without anyone noticing. Then he used the dream-entering technique to fall into a deep sleep.

Lying on the sofa, Wright's consciousness entered the cracks of dreams.

He first returned to his own dream courtyard to take a look, and then came to the old site of the Dream Fairy Tale Town.

Through the passage of the old site, he came to the fairy tale subspace in the form of a mental body.

As soon as he landed, he felt dizzy.

Immediately afterwards, the surrounding scenery changed, and he was actually detained directly in the castle of the fairy tale kingdom.

"Boss! You're finally here!"

When Wright came to his senses, what he saw was the bitter face of the demon of lies.

Seeing his sunken eyes and haggard face, Wright was really shocked.

In the kingdom of fairy tales, who could make Pinocchio, the king of fairy tales, so haggard?

Before he could ask anything, Alice, looking tired, came up to Wright holding her teddy bear.

"elder brother……"

"Alice, why are you..."

Seeing Alice about to fall asleep, Wright could no longer hold back.

"Could it be Emily's fault? What did she do to make you two so haggard?

Not really...Although that girl is a little bit jumpy, she shouldn't cause you any big trouble.

What on earth happened here?
Devil of lies, explain the situation within 140 words!"

The lying devil Pinocchio wanted to cry but had no tears: "Boss, isn't this all caused by that weird thing you asked Emily to bring?
Trying to analyze the problems inside, my head is about to explode!"

Wright's eyes widened: "Dark Erosion Beast King? That's not possible!"
