Chapter 641: The Devil's Forgiveness

Sensing Richelieu's arrival, Du Dian's eyes gradually focused, retracted from the empty ground, looked up at him, and said, "How is the ceremony going?"

"It's in progress, there will be no mistakes, sir, please rest assured." Richelieu bowed his head and said humbly. Up to now, he has put down his identity and is respectful to Du Dian.

Du Dian nodded slightly, "When his succession ceremony is over, let him read the statement we prepared in advance."

"I will." Richelieu nodded.

Du Dian slowly retracted his gaze, looked down at the air on the ground, and his thoughts drifted away again.

Richelieu took a peek at him, seeing that he had nothing to do, he immediately retreated slowly.

When the sun was getting stronger and the ceremony was coming to an end, Barton stood alone on the altar, facing the gazes coming from all directions, although he was nervous, but all his attention was focused on the Bible in his hand. It seemed less awkward and cramped.

The Bible is very thick, but when he opened it, it was another layer of paper. On it were the new words translated by the ancient language teacher last night. He had already read through it twice last night. , now eloquently, although a little nervous, but there are no mistakes or omissions.

No one knows that at such a solemn moment, those who are piously reading psalms full of fraternity on the stage are only thinking about making mistakes.

After a while, the Bible was finally finished reading. Barton heaved a sigh of relief and closed the Bible. Only then did he feel that his hands were already stiff and struggling. He looked up and saw countless densely packed black heads, and a front row The gazes projected by a man of extraordinary majesty, these gazes seemed to penetrate everything and see through all his background.

At this time, Richelieu led two old men in snow-white robes slowly onto the stage. They each held a tray with the Pope's scepter and the most holy crown in their hands. With a solemn face and steady steps, Richelieu approached Patton step by step.

It was the first time for Barton to see such a serious pope, his heart skipped a beat, he was a little nervous, and didn't know what to do.

Richelieu looked at the timidity and embarrassment in the young man's eyes, and there was a burst of melancholy and sadness in his heart. Although this incident was planned by Du Dian, he never thought about replacing himself as the new pope. But he was such an immature boy, he felt a little ashamed of the past popes and the mountain he once cherished.

After a moment of silence, when the preaching bell rang, Richelieu came to his senses, put away distracting thoughts, followed the ceremony, and handed over the scepter and crown that had accompanied him for many years while speaking eulogy and entrustment to Barton.

Patton was originally wearing a white hat, covering his black hair inside. When Richelieu crowned him, he did not take off the white hat, but put it on it directly, although people with ulterior motives It would be a little strange to see this scene, but most people have not seen the grand occasion when the Pope succeeded to the throne, nor did they know the tradition of the Holy See, so they didn't pay much attention.

In a blink of an eye, Barton put on the gorgeous and noble robes of the pope, and the crown representing the most holy and true, and held the scepter bestowed by the God of Light on the high altar, although his eyes were full of tension He was calm and uneasy, but his dignity and temperament had already exuded, and cheers like a tsunami erupted from the square, passing like waves.

Seeing the cheers and shouts, Barton's heart gradually sprouted confidence, as well as an unprecedented experience.

Amidst the cheers, Richelieu handed the scroll in his hand to Patton, and said in a low voice: "You are now the new pope, and you have just succeeded to the throne. According to the rules, you must state your views on the future of the Holy See of light and attack the dark The Holy See, after you finish your statement, you should express your favor, all of which are on this."

Button was startled slightly, came to his senses, and put it away immediately.

After the cheers were over, Barton coughed lightly, mustered up his courage, opened the scroll, scanned it roughly, and knew the general content, and immediately recited it from the beginning.

Countless people in the square listened,

This is also the main purpose of their coming here today.

"...I declare that starting today, the Asylum Tax collected by the Holy See will be halved! From now on, all impoverished towns can apply to the Holy See for poverty relief..." Barton said in a rough voice, letting his words spread as far as possible Far away, "Second point, from today onwards, pardon all criminals who disturbed the governance of the Holy See and humiliated the Holy See within five years..."

There was thunderous cheers from the audience.

The generals of the military department sitting in the front row, the sub-director of the court, and the legendary knights of the Knights Hall were dumbfounded. This first favor is too generous, and the asylum tax is halved. How much money will be lost? ? Is it worth at least the annual income of a consortium? !

As for the second article, as they expected, most of the previous popes would pardon criminals in a series to show tolerance when they succeeded to the throne.

"The third point is to restore the identity of the legendary genius 'Du Dian' of the Temple of Elements. Master Du Dian was framed by the Dark Holy See. After a detailed review, the innocence of Master Du Dian has been found out. From now on, the identity of Master Du Dian will be restored..." Barton read here , I got a little excited in my heart. Du Dian was completely blocked at the beginning, which made him very worried, but he was unblocked now.

"Fourth point, the poverty alleviation plan for slum areas will start today..."

In a blink of an eye, Barton said six things in one breath, and finished the above content in one breath before putting away the scroll.

There was already thunderous applause and cheers in the square.

Especially the wealthy businessmen, civilians and others who gathered at the outer edge of the square felt excited from the bottom of their hearts. Among the six benefits, in addition to the relief tax, there are many other taxes. You must know that these heavy taxes have always been oppressive. The mountain on them has been reduced by half now, how can we not cheer excitedly?

Richelieu watched silently by the side, his eyes were a bit complicated, he didn't know what Du Dian was thinking, he thought Du Dian would take this opportunity to raise taxes in all aspects, squeeze the people clean, and gather all the wealth into his own hands , but I didn't expect that the latter was just the opposite. Instead of squeezing the civilians, they gave them more opportunities and more help.

He didn't know whether it was good or bad that the Holy See of Light fell into the hands of this little devil, Du Dian. At the same time, he was a little ashamed that he was not as good as this insidious little devil in this respect.

As far as being Pope, I don't seem to be as qualified as him, what a shame!

Kaqi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard what Barton read aloud outside the main hall, and respectfully said to Du Dian: "Master, your identity has finally recovered, and you can no longer hide it."

"The one who can save me is myself after all, and only myself." There was a hint of deep color in the depths of Du Dian's dark eyes. For more exciting novels from rw, welcome to visit our reading institute
