Section IX Voters
This is a rather severe accusation - not just about herself. Aku can feel it. She tried to defend herself, but at the next moment she was strangled by suffocating pain. She had to hold her chest and breathe to relieve it... She didn't understand why she had such a big reaction - she didn't know that the inhuman power in her body originated from Kubahar, who was sleeping in the sea of consciousness of the undead, similar to a peeled nerve. Whether she was hurt or encountered other things that caused their emotions to fluctuate abnormally, both would be sensed... Unfortunately, Kubahar's warning was not correctly understood by the humans she once lived in.
The pain was fleeting with a subtle sigh like a bubble in the sea. The girl reluctantly raised her body, but before she spoke, a pair of cold black eyes and what was hidden behind it prevented her from continuing any action - whether it was speaking or escaping.
"Your name - taken from Kubahar," Alex said calmly.
She knew... she was once a "living goddess". Crown Prince Sardin saved not only her life from the riot Danga - she did not have to be forced to fall directly from the high-ranking god throne like the previous "living goddess" because of accidental bleeding or adolescence, and to waste her long second half of her life in solitude and hard work.
One of the Crown Prince's private secretary raised his chin and saw from the shoulders of the Sardinian mob. His Highness looked at them sideways, and was very focused... discussing some extremely serious issues with the beautiful and intelligent little girl. Then she suddenly bent down slightly, as if she was feeling uncomfortable, and their Crown Prince stretched out his hand and pressed it gently on her forehead - Oh, the private secretary couldn't help but shouted in his heart, you should hold her hand and hold her shoulder!
...I'm sorry, because of the Anne incident, from the members of the House of Lords in East Sardinia to the thugs in West Sardinia were really too sensitive to the crown prince's emotional life like distilled water.
However, the private secretary is not a Dead Knight after all. This weak "scream of the soul" is completely impossible for Alex to notice - most of his attention is devoted to the last mark Kubahar left on this human.
There is a cherry-red scar in the center of the forehead, extending from the center of the eyebrows to the hairline, as thin as a strand of hair. It is hard to imagine that a wound that is big and shaped like a human eye has been cracked here. It is longitudinally, tearing open the skin and muscles and exposed to the human sight. The eyes that seem to flow endlessly with blood and tears. The undead twitched his lips slightly, flipping his palms, and turning the fingers that were originally just gently tapped on the scar into stroking, and the nails that were harder and smoother than the skin slid along the curve of the skull.
This is an ambiguous action, but neither the implementer nor the receiver will show even a pink sweetheart. At the moment the contact deepens, Aku clearly felt something hidden in his body being cruelly and resolutely drawn out. Alex took out that inhuman power, and at first it was left only to allow Kubahar to feel the happiness and warmth of human beings. Now, the excess will only cause this little human girl to fall into indescribable chaos, and affect some things that Alex does not want her to touch.
Love. Although it is indeed a pity, according to the original idea of the Undead, the sojourn body with some of the power of Kubahar can be said to be a combination of "saints" and "votes" (Note 1). When Kubahar will definitely return to Feiren with him, the believers of the "living goddess" of Danga can be controlled by this little girl - that is 25 million devout believers (Note 2), and the number may not be as attractive as the 1.1 billion believers of the Old Testament. But their beliefs are obviously much stronger than the latter - he doesn't even mind giving more power that originally belonged to Kubahar.
It now seems that his momentary negligence has given the Scientific Denomination a true believer - just hope that she will not become a crazy believer or a sincere believer - because of Kubahar's existence, he will not take away her soul, but will not allow her to continue to retain the power that may be hostile to him.
Wilderger gently tickled in the connection of the soul dialogue. He was quite confused about Alex's behavior. They could be said to have been together for more than ten years in a relationship that transcends any kind of human emotions and will continue. The Dead Knight felt that he still had a little understanding of the owner of Alex's baby - basically this guy is a stingy guy. He does not refuse blood and killing, nor does he mind strategy and planning, but he absolutely hates chaos and fruitlessness. To put it simply, he likes to spare no effort to seek loopholes for himself in the established rules to seek the greatest benefit.
But what use are the primitive religions that are almost abandoned by humans in fairy tales and horror movies for an undead? Even to find trouble for the damn Old Testament Church - it is enough.
"Feren..." Alex paused suddenly after saying the noun, then he smiled that made the surrounding attendants palpitations and continued: "I said that the colors of this world are not rich enough."
Yes, a world that is too monotonous in some ways, or lacks some important things - the most prominent feature is that humans - humans who have no natural enemies and no fear. They are more stubborn, cunning and unscrupulous than humans on the Feren continent, and are more short-sighted and arrogant... But this is also a matter of no way. The weak magic power of this low-demon plane cannot support existences similar to orcs, elves, dragons, etc., which are not only stronger than humans and have the same wisdom and creativity. With excellent science and technology, humans are at the top of the food chain, and nothing can hinder their development, except themselves.
The problem is that, likewise, they can easily move from one extreme to another, because there is no guidance from gods in this world, nor does they have the role of limiting and restricting humanoid creatures that are eyeing. If they cannot find their own shortcomings, they can run as much as they want until they fall into the abyss of rules.
The most ridiculous thing is that this abyss may have been mined by themselves.
***
Back to Sardinia, the old testament pope was greeted by the Old Testament Catholic Pope - "the representative of the sage, the successor of the disciples, the supreme priest (pope), the Western Patriarch, the Old Testament Catholic Archbishop and the Metropolitan (archbishop), the head of state of the Holy Priest and the servants of the sage sage" at a sudden death late at night.
This death seemed very abrupt compared to the last endangered. The Pope's previous physical examination showed that although he was old and weak, he had nothing to take his life immediately. The cardinals had not made any declarations such as "He has seen or touched God" before, which made the 1.1 billion believers around the world mentally prepared. Only the Pope and his Secretary-General Cardinal Sli felt something--the Pope insisted on letting the two priests do it for themselves the night before.
He did the sacrament of death and wrote the last letter in the study, which said: "...The sage is calling me to go home... He has given me life, wisdom, courage, and peace now - what reason do I have to not use them? - When I have completed it and handed me over to me, the mission and entrusted me. He has given me blessings and peace and joy! I am very happy. The same is true for you, let us pray together!..."
Cardinal Sli notified the cardinals in various places through private channels on the evening of the same day, and added a sentence when they and their believers prayed for the Pope: "The door of heaven has been opened to him." This sentence can be said to be a prelude to the announcement of death.
The Deputy Secretary of State officially revealed the news of the Pope's death in the early morning of the next day. The slowly and sad knell of death sounded from the center of the Holy Principality, and then a church was connected to another church, and the heavy bells rang one after another. The pope's sudden departure made the believers very sad, as the title of a news report said, "They were orphans tonight."
According to the wishes of the pope, the wording of the epitaph is very simple, with only a few words "wisdom, diligence and faith". However, even so, the words must be engraved on the magnificent stone tablets very small to record his life and achievements. This is the obligation and right of every pope. Many of the things he did in the first decade have been questioned and criticized, but in recent years, these once criticized measures have achieved very significant results. He insisted on expressing tolerance to brotherhood and other religions, and opened the thorny gate that the Holy Priesthood has adhered to for centuries, so correspondingly, Other sects have to respond with kindness. Although their power has invaded the scope of the Old Testament, the priests and bishops of the Old Testament can also proceed calmly and safely on their lands. The most obvious example is Sardinia. The Old Testament and the State Church are better than expected. Although the royal family and the government will not allow the Old Testament Church to handle political situations, the tens of millions of Old Testament believers have also added a shot of a weaker Old Testament Church. It is also worth mentioning that his recognition and modification of the mistakes made by the Holy See in the late Middle Ages- —Repent, forgive, overthrow, delete, and ask the priests and bishops to show passion for faith, in other words, younger--"in a certain era limited to history, that is, traditional religion... is not enough to meet people's needs." The Pope hopes that they can bring a new trend to the church, but in fact they have done it, young clergy may not have done perfectly in some places, but they have firm beliefs and enough enthusiasm, new ways of thinking that can promote them to give a A new, clean, contains beauty, and disguises answers to those shortcomings and negative aspects, rather than just like their predecessors, using the words in the scriptures to casually or simply ignore and scold. These also promote the spread and stability of the Old Testament among the younger generations - you must know that before this, because of science... human beings themselves seem to be able to achieve everything... In this self-centered rationalist environment, everything is subjective. Even faith life is a subjective choice, no longer a necessity for life, and even after baptism, there are few loyal servants willing to devote themselves to the sage.
Although these changes and corrections are deeply hated by some people in the church - they will be happy with the death of the old man, but they may complain about his sudden death, which means that the three major forces in the Holy See must make the most beneficial reaction in the shortest time.
The secret meeting to elect the pope must be held fifteen to twenty days after the Pope's death. Generally, when the previous pope is in danger, the cardinals with the right to vote and be elected will return to the Holy Primate, and the relevant Holy See will also make corresponding preparations. Now...
However, the most important thing is the funeral - the Holy See arranges funerals within 4 to 6 days after the Pope's death, and the funeral will be held for 9 days.
At the same time, kings, queens, grand dukes, presidents, prime ministers, prime ministers and their prime ministers from various countries will also gather here. Whether as believers or rulers, these noble and prominent figures have this obligation unless they are willing to be enemies of 1.1 billion believers.
As the patriarch, the head of the state religion of Sardinia, Her Majesty of Sardinia must wait until the new pope is elected before leaving. However, even without this regulation, Her Majesty will wait - the attitude of the new pope will be related to many things. In most cases, the first formal meeting is crucial. Even if you cannot get a reassuring answer, you can at least understand the new pope's ideas and prevent and respond in a timely manner.
It took about a whole month - but Crown Prince Alex's ability has been recognized by most people in the government in recent years, as well as Prime Minister Thomas, who can take good care of the country together.
Note 1 Saints—Only in extremely rare cases, the gods will send out this kind of physical appearance. They will appear in the world as a saint, thus interacting with the mortal believers—usually in disguise.
way.
A god can take any form he wants. He or she can transform into a person and appear in front of humans, or an elf appears in front of the elves, etc., and even play in front of different races.
All different characters. But even so, most gods still prefer to adopt forms that retain some degree of similarity.
Note 2: The electorate - Gods usually give special power to a few believers. For example, stronger combat power, longer life or stronger body, etc. These people are usually called electorates, and they will be particularly favored by the gods.
Love. Killing a god's elect is equivalent to declaring war on that god.
A very small number of voters will be given a level 0 divine character and become a demigod, and such voters are usually saints.
According to the degree of closeness and alienation of relationship with God, believers can be divided into unbeliever, false believers, general believers, true believers, devout believers, crazy believers and sincere believers.
Devote Believer - When a believer can give everything to the gods of faith without any return, and this faith lasts for 10 years, he is a devote. After the devote Believer dies, he can enter directly
The gods that they believe in are reborn. However, the soul power of most devout believers is very fragile. One day, they will return to the source of their souls because they cannot produce the power of faith, and then be born again in Feilunda
On land...!~!
