For Tire's priests, bathing in the sun is itself a ritual of obedience to Tire.
In order to maximize the lighting effect, sanctified glazed tiles are used as tile roofs in all churches above the district level, allowing sunlight to penetrate through the glazed tiles with complex patterns, and the shadows form large tracts of prayer on the ground.
The prayers on the ground will also change all the time as the position of the sun changes.
The dome cathedral in Frankfurt can dispel the dark clouds in the sky. Even if it is pouring rain in the entire Bansa, it will still be clear and cloudless in Frankfurt. But because of this, the afternoon of the temple will become
It's quite hot. It's okay in early spring, but in midsummer, just staying here and being exposed to the sun is a kind of practice.
Of course, for ordinary believers, it is impossible for them to be qualified to enter here in their lifetime. But during the papal election period, the twelve cardinals were not even allowed to leave here.
This is a magic set up just in case. If the Pope betrays the gods, or if the Pope makes a serious mistake, then as long as twelve cardinals are gathered together, the current Pope's rights can be declared
Invalidate and re-elect the Pope.
You must know that, including the thirteenth bishop who is just a fictitious one in most cases, the maximum number of Cardinals is only thirteen, and it is not easy to gather twelve.
Unless the Pope really offends the public, as long as one person disagrees, the ceremony cannot be completed.
Moreover, even if the impeachment is successful, it does not mean that the pope will be convicted or immediately removed from office. The pope will be temporarily deprived of his power and divine grace, and will be temporarily placed under house arrest in front of the icon. He will not regain his ability to move until the end of the ceremony.
In a round of voting that takes place every three days, if no one gets more than two-thirds of the votes after four rounds, the new pope will be elected by a legal majority. Then the previous pope will be restored to his original status.
But in that case, it can be said that all the cardinals involved in the impeachment will not end well. No matter how tolerant the Pope is, he will not be merciful at this time. Moreover, the Pope is personally selected by God. If there is no one at the end of the ceremony,
With a reasonable explanation, the price of questioning God's decision will definitely make the cardinals pay a heavy price.
In fact, for the first time in thousands of years, this ritual was used in the church of Tire.
However, at this time, the Church of Tire no longer had so many taboos about not being able to contact their gods, and the Pope had been confirmed dead. In this case, only by selecting a new Pope can all the people be united by authority.
The strength of believers unites together to overcome the difficulties at hand.
At this time, the afternoon sun was shining brightly. Cardinal Chryses knelt quietly in front of the icon of Tire and prayed. The scorching sunlight shone on his body, and the lines formed by faint black shadows moved at an extremely slow speed.
Moving on the ground and on him.
"...So, I shouted the holy name of Tire among the crowd..."
As if he felt something, the wizened old bishop suddenly stopped praying.
At this moment, a kind and gentle voice came from behind him: "Bishop Chryses, good afternoon."
"Good afternoon, Bishop Kasaka."
Chryses's voice was plain but slightly hoarse.
As if he had expected it. He confirmed the identity of the visitor without even looking back.
"I think I have to report you some good news, Bishop Krises," Kasaka said softly, "your nephew has passed the examination of the itinerant department and has become an official bishop."
"oh?"
Chryses finally turned around and stood up, with a rare hint of joy in his hoarse and dry voice: "Thank you very much for bringing this good news...Thank you, Tyre,
He's a good boy. I think he'll make a good bishop."
Halfway through, the skinny old man frowned slightly, and then asked Kasaka sincerely: "Bishop Kasaka, do you know which parish little Tix will be assigned to?"
"That's what I was going to tell you. Bishop Chryses."
Kasaka immediately said seriously: "The news I got is that the parish he was assigned to is Derangli District."
"...Oh no! No! It must be Oseis who is causing trouble! Everyone knows it. He alone has the final say in the patrol department!"
Bishop Chryses almost groaned in pain: "Those uneducated barbarians will teach him bad things! What if the frost ghost attacks there? I am sure that little Tix is a pious man.
Priest, but I think he will never be a qualified warrior..."
"Don't panic, don't panic, Bishop Chryses."
Kasaka whispered as he took two steps closer to the old man: "The edict has not been issued yet. It's not too late, isn't it... As long as other bishops from the pilgrimage department offer to go there on behalf of Little Tikes
Taking office, not even Cardinal Osseus can change all this."
"But, will anyone go?" Bishop Chrises said in a hesitant tone, "Although the Pilgrimage Department is a good place, the young bishops would definitely prefer to be transferred to a richer diocese. Only in this way can they collect more money."
Only in this way can we have the funds to launch a tour... And there in Derangli District..."
"You can't squeeze out any oil or water, right?"
Kasaka sighed deeply, his voice became lower and lower, and he said in Krises's ear: "It just so happens that my son is also in the Touring Department. I want him to experience more and see what a person can do.
How ugly it is, and how far people can hide their malice... If you don't mind, let my son go to Derangli District for little Tix."
"Lord Kasaka, what are you..."
Chrises took a deep breath: "It's really... I don't know how to thank you..."
"...Ah, I want to know this question too."
Kasaka rolled his eyes and spoke softly, with a voice that was just loud enough for Chryses to hear.
Bishop Krises narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded slowly, with a clear expression.
After Kasaka left with satisfaction, Krises slowly turned around and spoke softly to the icon: "Sure enough... everything is as you said."
"Now, Cardinal Chryses," Xila's voice came slowly from behind the icon, "do you still think Bishop Kasaka possesses the integrity and incorruptibility that a pope must possess?"
Xiela slowly walked out from behind the icon: "Buying or selling the priesthood is a serious crime. If His Majesty Jupiter IV was still here, Kasaka would have already withdrawn from the holy order and been thrown into the dungeon."
"Sorry, Bishop Xila..."
Chryses bowed his head apologetically: "I shouldn't doubt your words...but, my nephew..."
"I understand, I understand very well."
Xila interrupted Krises softly: "I'm not asking you to vote for me or not to vote for Bishop Kasaka. You can continue to vote for Bishop Kasaka, but I think this favor is only enough for one vote.
You will only vote for Bishop Kasaka in the first round, right?"
"Ah...that's exactly it."
Krises's eyes widened slightly and he exclaimed: "Yes, that's exactly the case... But if in the first round of voting, Bishop Kasaka..."
"You have to know that you are not the only one he found...nor the only one I found. What's more..."
Having said this, Xi Laruo paused pointedly before continuing: "What's more, it's not true that no one can change the decision of Bishop Oseis. At least the Pope still has the right to transfer a bishop.
You see it right."
"You're right."
Cardinal Chryses nodded convincingly. (To be continued.)
