Chapter 418 The protagonist's appearance
None of the Cyric priests except the Archbishop of Würzburg attended this ceremony. Although it was under great pressure, the Cyric Church was still determined to maintain its dignity as the first church in Europe.
This relieves most officials of the trouble, and they just have to go with the flow.
Hard to choose are the followers of Barbarossa.
There were already many followers of Barbarossa among the Austrian nobles, and they were hesitant to join in the prayer procession.
Anyone with a modicum of political sensitivity is aware of the danger of the complex religious situation in Vienna.
Today's choice is very sensitive and dangerous. The Spanish background represented by Katherina and the Habsburg warlock lineage vis-à-vis the Church of Upper Cassus, the balance of power is very ambiguous.
For the courtiers, this choice was very dangerous. They would never dare to choose a side before Ladislaus expressed his position.
As the corona showed that there were less than three minutes left at noon, Ladislaus nodded to Oded Kessler, who had been looking at him and waiting for his signal.
Oded Kessler, who was granted amnesty, immediately stood up and saluted Anna on the stage. Ladislaus also led all the Austrian officials to stand up.
Neither Ladislaus nor Katherina bowed their heads in prayer. He just put his hand on his chest and paid Anna his attention.
Katharina also paid attention, but no one could tell the difference between a look of hatred and a look of respect.
Most of the Austrian officials bowed their heads slightly. It is natural for them as ministers to bow their heads to the chosen ones of the four elemental gods.
This seemingly simple etiquette process was actually the product of repeated battles between Ladislaus and the Knights of Vision before finally reluctantly compromising.
As a secular monarch, he would never bow to religious leaders.
Ladislaus refused to treat Cassius like the Cyric Church in its heyday.
If he bows to Anna, then the next step may be that the electors of His Majesty the Lord of Fire will enter the Council of State.
The existence of Sazastan was enough to give the Church of Cassus a channel to speak. Ladislaus insisted that the position of the Council of State could not be awarded based on the status of the church, but could only be determined by him based on his value and merit to Austria.
This was also the basic starting point for him to drive away several Cyric archbishops. Sazastan held this position because of his decades of contribution to the Habsburg family, not because of his position within the Kassuth Church.
In the same way, the Archbishop of Würzburg obtained this position as a resettlement of the imperial princes who had lost their independent status.
Not because of his position within the Church of Cyric.
Although this principle is actually very vague, Ladislaus just doesn't want to let Cassus' power expand further.
After Ladislaus reiterated his governing program in his mind, the sun finally reached the center, and Anna's prayers overwhelmed all the sounds in the audience within a few seconds, as if they were in everyone's ears.
Talk the same.
"Praise you for bringing warmth to this world. Without you, how could we have endured the deepest cold."
"Praise you for bringing light to the universe. Without you, how could we see the long road ahead."
"Praise you for using fire to cleanse away the filth. Without you, how can we live in a clean world."
After the prayer, the flowers and spices around Anna began to spontaneously ignite. Anna, surrounded by flames, was dazzling, showing a beauty and majesty that surpassed that of humans.
All the Kassuth believers repeated Anna's prayers with the loudest voices in their lives. Even the most ordinary believers felt that their voices were full of religious passion.
It was not just the followers of Cassus who were praying. Wherever Ladislaus glanced, at least one-third of the Cyric believers also involuntarily joined in the prayers.
Flowers and spices are props for this large-scale evangelistic event.
Then the flames gathered towards Anna, and soon she was surrounded by a huge flame.
At first, the outline of the person could still be seen, but in less than a minute, Anna was completely engulfed in flames.
This scene lasted for more than ten minutes, and the flames were still burning fiercely.
Ladislaus had already held Katherina's hand. At this time, he could feel his companion's hand trembling with excitement. Any consciousness would be unexpected. Princess Katherina must be expecting a miracle in her heart.
Ladislaus had no hope at all, and of course he really didn't want his son to die like this, but he also knew that nothing could happen to Anna who was favored by Cassus.
Soon, Princess Katharina was disappointed.
Flowers and spices gathered together and converged towards Anna, and little bits of fire merged into the fire where Anna was like a child looking for its mother.
After absorbing all the sparks, the color of the big fire ball began to change, and the red fire began to gradually fade into milky white. Ladislaus knew that this was because the temperature of the flame exceeded the temperature that ordinary fuels can reach.
Giving blessings!
Sazastan has been in business for decades, and indeed it has good products.
Then the milky white flame became a little more transparent, Anna's figure was revealed again, and her voice praising Cassus became particularly solemn and majestic.
The senior warriors and lion warriors present all felt the dangerous gaze at this time. The more powerful the people, the more uneasy they were. Several people at the "Guo Zhen" and "Guo Protector" levels could not help but start to make defensive postures.
.
Ladislaus was strong enough to feel the pressure from Cassius. He also couldn't help but began to recall his list of lions today and be ready to fight at any time.
Of course, this is just the instinctive sense of self-preservation of a powerful being. Today, Kasus has consumed most of the property accumulated over the years in Sazastan. He is not looking for trouble. He is only transmitting power to bless him.
With the input of Cassus' power, the fireball Anna was in began to change, and the flames became as solid and thick as substance.
The fireball slowly divided into countless thick and thin flame streams and spread out, piercing through the mouth of Anna who was praising Cassus.
One hundred and twenty-eight flame streams correspond to one hundred and twenty-eight followers. The blood vessels on their exposed bodies are clearly visible, and there seems to be magma flowing in the blood vessels.
The flames rushed into their bodies, transferring the divine power of Cassus to them, transforming them and giving them strength.
When the situation stabilized, these 128 people were no longer ordinary people as Jones' investigation said, but all became priests of Cassus.
There is a young member of the Xibo family who has received a lot of attention from Cassus. More than one tenth of the flame flow has poured into his body. Now he has reached the sky and is completely transformed.
His eyes were shining brightly, and he seemed to be no better than Machiavelli and Oded Kessler, who had recovered their strength.
Sazastan's income ranked second, and he also received about one-tenth of the flame flow. Of course, his strength will not increase sharply. Ladislaus can't even see any changes in him, but it is obvious that this
If this force can create a priest at the same level as Machiavelli and Oded Kessler, then Sazhastan's strength must have made great progress.
However, Ladislaus had no intention of guessing what Sazastan had obtained at this time. He was just a chicken and dog who ascended to heaven by the way. Anna, who had attained enlightenment, was the real focus.
The few chickens and dogs attached to the tail can achieve such a big harvest, and Anna, who is the center of attention of Kasus, will of course gain even more.
Her change was so great that the whole place was in an uproar and could no longer maintain the silence.
It's not that she is no longer the same person, but her way of giving birth is really strange.
Anna was holding a naked child in her hands and praising Cassus.
Her unremarkable belly no longer existed, and it was obvious that what she was holding was Ladislaus and her child.
But what is more eye-catching is a cup in the child's arms, with flames shooting out of it.
Ladislaus had to admit that his son's appearance was indeed the protagonist, but it was never easy to be the protagonist.
The followers of Cassus also spoke out various praises, and compared to Ladislaus' worries, they fell into pure ecstasy.
The followers of Cassus did not know their lines in advance. Jones would have already figured out this arrangement. In this situation, the devout believers would naturally know what to say.
"He is the bringer of fire!"
"Essence of Fire!"
"A true apostle!"
Amidst the cheers and worship of the followers of Cassius, Anna proudly turned 360 degrees towards her son, all the guests. Ladislaus saw that his son also had a birthmark of the Goblet of Fire on his back.
‘Holy Grail?’ Ladislaus always thought that this treasure of the Cassius sect had already fallen into the hands of the Roman Church.
This treasure has different origin explanations according to different sects.
Many sects claim that this cup once contained the precious blood of the god Io.
Of course, the Church of Cyric claimed that this treasure only contained Cyric's blood.
The version of the Church of Cassus is what Anna is saying now: "This is a true treasure given to my Lord by the God above God to declare my Lord's dominance over the flames in this era. Now my Lord allows me and
His son brought this treasure back to the world, and he will bring light and warmth to the world and cleanse the world of filth."
Amidst the increasingly enthusiastic roars of the believers, Anna's voice gradually took on the forcefulness of Cassus.
"You are the source of warmth, you are the seed of light, you are the sword incarnate in flames." Anna walked step by step in front of Ladislaus.
She slowly showed the child to Ladislaus.
"Please tell the Lord of Fire the names of his apostles."
