Chapter 442 The third page of the book of the sky train
The funeral of Henry VIII was unexpectedly noisy.
Although it was their king who died.
But as the "child in the cup", he is always just a tool to continue the royal bloodline and the bloodline.
People respect him, obey him, fear him...but they don't respect or love him, let alone worship him.
This is also the reason why the eldest princess Elizabeth did not encounter much resistance in governing the country when "Henry VIII was seriously ill and was about to die". Elizabeth was much more understanding of people's hearts than Henry VIII.
The future king and the dead king——
Even a fool knows how to choose.
Of course, that's what I said.
But whether Henry VIII chose a successor, and who the successor he chose is still unknown. After all, his will will only be handed over to Sir Silver, and Sir Silver has no obligation to make it public.
In other words, unless the king had publicly selected the new king during his lifetime...his "edict" would have no practical significance. Because it did not represent the wishes of the previous king, but the wishes of Lord Silver.
If Sir Silver is very dissatisfied with the first heir, or is completely disappointed with him, he has the power to establish a new king.
After all, this country will ultimately be protected by Sir Silver.
Moreover, the Silver Jue Church has penetrated into every aspect of the lives of the Noah people. The price of not managing the kingdom's policies is that the Silver Jue Church will directly intervene in the royal succession.
According to the normal ritual procedures, the new king will not officially ascend the throne until May 1st, the festival belonging to Silver Siren. And it is still early spring - the two months in between are the last ditch efforts of the heirs.
As of May 1st, there will be no major changes.
Then the eldest princess Elizabeth will be the first heir to complete the succession of the throne. But before that, if there are any big changes in the Kingdom of Noah, which she supervises on her behalf, or if there are any big problems on her side...
...Then it’s not certain whether Sir Silver will let her inherit the throne in the end.
This is actually the reason why the fourth prince, His Royal Highness Albert, was ostracized and suppressed by his brothers and sisters because of his good relationship with the Silver Jue Church.
While everyone is preparing to gain the final support of the Silver Lord Church - or neutrality, you run to make friends with the referee.
Then you claimed at this time that you did not want to inherit the throne and that you had no interest in the throne.
——Will anyone believe this?
Now at the king's funeral, ministers and nobles formed cliques. They formed different camps based on interests and kinship, and sat in different places. There were also many people gathered around the three heirs.
They didn't talk or laugh loudly, they just lowered their voices and whispered, discussing very quietly. But when there were more people, a hum of whispers could also be heard.
But after Annan and the others entered the hall, the entire hall fell silent instantly.
Because it was Sir Silver who walked in with Annan and Salvatore.
People slowly stood up, then bowed respectfully to Sir Silver and touched their chests.
"—A salute to the silver coin."
The nobles, royal heirs, bishops and the pope saluted Sir Silver in unison.
"In the name of silver coins, I bless you."
Sir Silver smiled, put his hands on the shoulders of Salvatore and Annan respectively, raised his head and made a loud and clear voice.
People finished their salutes one after another and raised their heads to look at the two people who were particularly close to Sir Silver with some curiosity.
Annan and Salvatore——
The nobles who can attend the king's funeral basically have their own intelligence sources.
At least 80% of them knew Annan and Salvatore...the remaining 20% just didn't know Annan.
However, they don't quite know why Sir Silver appears at the same time as them?
What does this portend?
"Go, Annan."
At this moment, Sir Silver patted Annan on the shoulder.
Annan nodded, and calmly walked towards the coffin of Henry VIII while everyone looked at him with confusion and even some surprise.
The sky over the royal capital quickly became overcast.
The clouds are overcast and the cool breeze is blowing——
As Annan gradually approached the coffin, it suddenly started to rain at the funeral site.
After all, it is a funeral, and the entourage of the guests must carry black umbrellas with them. This is also a kind of etiquette... Sometimes, they even have to directly pray for rain to maintain a solemn atmosphere.
The attendants immediately held umbrellas for the nobles on their seats.
Fortunately they acted quickly.
When Annan walked to the coffin, the cold drizzle turned into a thunderous rainstorm in the blink of an eye.
Just smelling the smell of the heavy rain will make people unable to help but remain silent, and there will be an inexplicable and extremely complicated sense of depression in their hearts.
It was as if he was clenching his fists and lowering his head, enduring something...
It's like looking up at the stars, looking forward to something.
Mr. Kai, who was originally guarding the coffin, also nodded to Annan and took two steps to the side.
Mr. Kai's jet-black long hair was spread down to his waist. He was wearing a white robe and a pure white mask. The bloody smiling face on the mask had turned into a clown-like crying face.
"Do you need me to open it for you?"
Mr. Kai bent down slightly and made a gentle and magnetic voice to Annan.
Following his movements, an invisible barrier appeared above the two people and the coffin.
Annan nodded and said respectfully: "Excuse me, Mr. Kai."
"nothing."
Kai replied briefly.
He reached out and touched the coffin.
The coffin was like a magnetic levitation sliding lid, floating directly for a while, and then sliding downwards to open, revealing the overly young face of Henry VIII.
Although he was dead, there was surprisingly not much lifelessness on his body. His face was plump and not slumped, and his complexion looked good. Except for his extremely pale face, he looked as if he had fallen asleep and was exceptionally peaceful.
Amidst the sudden and uncertain discussions among the nobles, Annan stretched out his right index finger and lightly tapped Henry VIII's forehead.
The moment he came into contact with the body of Henry VIII.
A curtain of light suddenly flashed in front of Annan's eyes:
【——Discovering the Fragment of Truth】
[Condition 1: No conflict truth fragments are currently held]
[Condition 2: Hold rare elite (purple) and above templates]
[The truth appears——]
next moment.
An extremely intense white light, centered on the contact point between Annan and Henry VIII, suddenly spread outwards and then rose from the ground!
It was an extremely sacred radiance.
Just looking at that light can make you feel peaceful.
The faces of the guests reflected by that light were pale, but everyone present did not feel the glare of the light, they just stared at it unconsciously... like a puppet whose mind had been taken away by it.
Apart from Sir Silver, the only humans present who could retain consciousness were Salvatore, Mr. Kai and...Prince Philip.
It took more than half a minute before the light finally dissipated.
The white pages, which look like paper and feel like jade, are suspended in the air.
The dark golden words swim on it like water waves.
And a light curtain emerged from it:
[The Book of Heavenly Cars, Page 3]
[Type: Fragment of Truth (1/6) (Unlocked)]
[Remaining fragment holders: 3]
[Appeared: 3]
[Description: The newly born fragments of truth, gather all the fragments to gain new authority]
Annan touched it silently.
Like a foam phantom, it shattered out of thin air and merged directly into Annan's body.
After a short delay, several new lines of words appeared in front of Annan's eyes:
[Book of Heavenly Car (3/6): Summon or dismiss a specified number of players from another world (80/300)]
[Current special effect (3/6): Players can be resurrected; public experience pool (2%); teleportation cornerstone]
[Public experience pool: 2% (increased from '1%') of the experience gained by players whose level is no higher than themselves from any way (increased from 'from a copy') can be deposited into the public experience pool
, stored in the public experience pool and can be distributed to any friendly unit (not limited to players)]
[Teleport cornerstone: A teleport cornerstone can be established in a town of no less than a "medium" size. Players can teleport arbitrarily among different teleport cornerstones, or return to the last registered teleport cornerstone after a simple ceremony. Currently, teleportation is not available.
Crossing the barrier]
"Let me introduce you to everyone," Sir Silver's loud voice sounded behind Annan, "This is Annan Lingdong. The Grand Duke Lingdong who is about to succeed to the throne, the descendant of the old grandmother's beloved, the newly born son of the Book of Truth.
The holder - the god of the future!
"——Celebrate, everyone! Salute to His Excellency Annan!"
Sir Silver spoke impassionedly to the dead king and the future god.
