Chapter 934: Statue Hanging Ceremony

"What are you laughing at? The church in the small town of Frosacken was built by the townspeople themselves, and Bishop Fren certainly saved it. It's not like you don't know how tough the environment is there. Seeing the smile on Alfie's face, Celent said with some displeasure: "Besides, although there is no showroom, there are many portraits of the sages of the Holy See, all of which are carefully collected by Bishop Flon and often taken out for me to admire. For example, the portrait is that of the great god Mr. Lambert......"

Silent said, pointing to a nearby portrait. The portrait of the person with a solemn face, in addition to the beard, is a string of rosaries hanging on his chest, Alfie does not need to look at it to know that it is one of the famous seven secret treasures of the Holy See - Lambert's rosary.

"There is also this one, which should be His Majesty the Holy See's Pope Gyllenhaal during the Great War of All Nations. Septe gestured to a portrait a little further away.

"Huh, why isn't there a portrait of Bishop Flen?" Alfie looked around, "Shouldn't his portrait be hung here as His Majesty the Pope today?"

"This is where the portraits of the sages are displayed, and they will not appear here unless it is proved that Bishop Fern has died. There was a hint of excitement in Serent's tone, which at least proved that Bishop Flon was still alive.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of neat footsteps, as if a group of people were approaching here in a neat line, and the two of them happened to be in the middle of the corridor, and they could not get out of the corridor in time whether they were forward or backward. Alfie was in a hurry, and quietly pulled Celent by the hand, and the two shrank together behind a pillar, Alfie clicked twice, with the illusion and light here, a shallow illusion was laid around them, and if no one deliberately observed, they should not be aware of their existence.

Alfie had just set everything up when the door at the end of the corridor was suddenly pushed open, and a burst of holy hymns came in, no doubt the masterpiece of the Holy See Choir.

With the singing of hymns, a group of knights of light slowly walked into the corridor, and behind them, a cardinal archbishop held a picture scroll with a serious expression and walked slowly into the corridor.

"Wen ......" Celent couldn't help but let out a low cry when he saw the Knight of Light who was headed, but fortunately Alfie was quick and covered his mouth.

Alfie knew why Celent was so out of shape, and the Knight of Light at the head was none other than the paladin Vincent whom Celent had once dressed up. The real Vincent is far more majestic and ...... than the Serent disguised Silent.

Vincent seemed to hear something, and his sharp gaze glanced this way, causing Alfie's heart to rise to his throat. It was dusk, and the lights in the corridor were not yet lit, so it was unusually dim, and if Vincent had seen through his illusion and not recognized Serent, they would have suffered.

Anyone could tell that the Holy See was going on a very serious event, and Alfie and Celent could be said to have come uninvited, and God knows if such an activity involved any secrets, in case the two of them were to be killed. Don't look at the Holy See's good name, but Alfie believes that if they do break into any secrets, the Holy See will definitely not mind two more missing people, not to mention anything else, but those fanatics will have enough for them to drink a pot.

Thankfully, Vincent only glanced at them, and didn't seem to notice their presence, and the focus of the entire event was only a short distance from the entrance.

It's no wonder that there are no people in the whole church. 'Celent telepathically told Alfie, 'Is there a high-ranking member of the Holy See who has died?'

Every high-ranking member of the Holy See who is qualified to hang the portrait in the showroom, after the death is confirmed, will hold a ceremony to hang the statue, and the whole ceremony is solemn, except for the elegy and hymns of the choir, no sound is allowed to show respect for the deceased. In the Holy See, only the Pope and the cardinal archbishops enjoy the glory of the statue ceremony.

A heavy feeling struck Serent, who had just been glad that there was no portrait of Bishop Fren, but after the statue hanging ceremony, he was almost certain that the portrait that had just been hung was most likely Bishop Fren. Only a person of the level of Bishop Flon would hold such a grand statue hanging ceremony.

'Don't worry, it can't be Bishop Flren's. Alfie saw Selent's grief and comforted her telepathically. They are tens of meters away from the crowd where the statue is being hung, and communicating through telepathy is undoubtedly the safest way.

'Why?' Celent was completely concerned.

'Bishop Flon is the Pope of the day, and if his death is confirmed, it will be more than a mere statue-hanging, and from our point of view, there is nothing unusual about the Holy See, and it is almost certain that the Holy See has not confirmed the death of Bishop Flann. Alfie's analysis was very reasonable, and it reassured Celent a little.

Every Pope dies and the continent holds solemn ceremonies, and it is clear that this is far from the point.

'Which of the Holy See's high-ranking people would that be?' Celent wondered.

"After the ceremony is over, shall we go over and have a look?" Alfie already had a rough guess in his mind, but he did not choose to break it now. There are so many people here, if Silent shows his flaws in horror, it will be a disaster.

I don't know why, after Alfie said this, her heart suddenly moved, and she glanced unnaturally in the direction of the statue ceremony, and found that Vincent seemed to have just withdrawn his gaze from them and turned his head back.

After the Knights of Light lined up at the front of the corridor, the Cardinal Archbishop slowly walked to a blank wall on one side of the corridor. As he stood still, the magic lamps were lit at the same time, illuminating the entire front of the corridor as bright as day. In contrast, the corner where Alfie and the two are located happens to be at the intersection of light and darkness, and the flickering light and darkness make them safer.

The cardinal archbishop bowed slightly to either side, and immediately two priests stepped forward, took the scroll from his hand, and then carefully hung it in the hallway.

After the portrait was hung, all the papal seekers, led by the cardinal, solemnly saluted the portrait silently. The hymns that came from outside the corridor were somehow transformed into elegy in the Holy See, and for a moment a gloomy and desolate atmosphere filled the entire cathedral of St. Jessica.

After the salute, the cardinal led the papacy slowly out of the corridor, the whole process did not last long, and none of them spoke, but the atmosphere of sadness was exaggerated to the extreme by the elegiac accompaniment of the choir.
