It was still morning, but as the sun gradually rose, the time became closer to noon.

As mentioned earlier, the day when the new king of the Empire was officially crowned and ascended the throne was a very good day specially selected. And with auspicious days, of course there will be good times. To be honest, for some special reasons, when the eldest prince and his party of luxurious honor guards arrived at the lakeside, it came a little earlier than the scheduled time.

But this doesn't matter. If you come early, then wait a little longer. Safety first...

"Your Highness, please board the ship. The Pope and all the great men are waiting for us on the other side."

"My sirs, please show the invitation to watch the ceremony and cooperate with us to conduct a simple identity check. Just follow the procedure, thank you... If there is no invitation, the temple will apologize first. Please retreat to the side as required by the Knight of Light. We will find a suitable place to watch the ceremony around the lakeside. Thank you for your cooperation..."

"Haha, it should be, it should be hard work..."

...

The lineup of the luxury guard of honor is indeed luxurious. The princes and nobles, family ladies, accompanying guards, and wealthy businessmen who intend to watch the ceremony closest to the closest, or just come to join in with ordinary people who are busy, etc., gather together to surround the pier by the lake.

The number of places to visit the temple with the eldest prince is limited, and it has been decided long ago. Of course, it is impossible for so many people to board the ship to the island. To be precise, most of the people here do not have a gift invitation representing the boat ticket. However, when they come, it is naturally difficult to drive them away directly.

Fortunately, the temple was prepared for this and constantly sent people to divert and guide the two types of people who had invitations and did not invite them in an orderly manner. The former invited a large ship on the shore after inspection. The latter directly pulled the mounds with a slightly higher terrain around the lakeside... In general, the scene seemed messy, but it was regular, and everything was under control.

Of course, this situation occurs mainly because of the abnormal cooperation of everyone. Now this is a major moment for the crown prince of the empire to ascend the throne, and the location is still in the Millennium Temple. Under the joint pressure of the two major forces, I believe that no matter how stupid a person is, he will not dare to cause any trouble at this time and here.

Soon, about a hundred lucky people followed the eldest prince and boarded the shore in two batches of ships. Amid the countless envy, jealousy and hatred around them, they set sail towards the islands in the lake slowly sailed.

Seeing the lakeshore being thrown away from behind, the eldest prince and his group who had arrived safely finally calmed down their slight uneasiness. Then, their excitement and excitement began to rise uncontrollably...

Crown and ascend the throne!

Even if the situation in the Bran Empire is not good now, and it can even be described as bad, it is an ancient empire with a thousand years of brilliant historical heritage. If you can become a new king and completely control this giant empire, the eldest prince naturally has reason to be excited.

As for the top figures and nobles at the top of the imperial power institutions that came with them, there were sufficient reasons to be excited. In fact, being able to board the ship and stand here and witness the crown prince's crowning ceremony with one's own eyes represents the most profound qualification. You must know that if everything goes well, this qualification will at least ensure that their family will last for a century!

If you have not seen a big scene and have enough experience, I believe that they will raise their arms and shout to vent their ecstasy in their hearts...

Crazy-

My father, I did it! Without your nod, I don’t need your edict to confirm, I still did it with my own affairs... Brother, what are you doing now? Are you still alive? Still resisting in that small southern town? Haha... It doesn’t matter, I will prove it to you. Only I can lead this empire and bring supreme glory again! Must...

Looking down at the white waves splashing on both sides of the hull, the eldest prince clenched his fists and raised his lips slightly. For a moment, his spirit was flying, proud and arrogant—

quite a while,

"Welcome, His Majesty the future king of the empire."

"Thank you very much! Thank you... well, thank you Pope and all the bishops for your kind welcome." When the head of the ship touched the island pier and the old pope led more than ten cardinal archbishops to come forward to make a welcoming gesture, the eldest prince obviously had not yet calmed down the excitement and ecstasy in his heart immediately, which led to a little ritual loss and a little stuttering when answering.

Fortunately, he did not react slowly. After deliberately pausing, he adjusted his mindset, looked up at the kind-eyed Pope, and spread his hands with a little self-deprecating smile, "Sorry, I'm a little too excited... Well, when I was a child, when I understood the meaning of my identity enough, I prayed to the gods many times, praying that the omnipotent gods can protect me from being loved by my father and becoming the crown prince! It's just the crown prince, but this is the goal I have been working hard before, but I didn't expect that I would come here so soon, and still with such an identity..." He pointed to himself, self-evident.

"Oh, this is not surprising." The Pope replied calmly and gently: "The Father is merciful, and he always hopes more for believers who pray to him. Besides, you have worked hard enough in yourself, Your Highness."

Well, if you include poisoning your father and assassinating your younger brother, the eldest prince is indeed working hard enough, and he is also working very hard...

Raise your hand and bow, standard believer's ritual: "Thank you for the Father's gift."

Seeing this, the Pope smiled and nodded, as if he was extremely satisfied with the pious attitude shown by the eldest prince. At this time, the Archbishop in the Child came forward and saluted: "Maybe, your highness, you already know that the coronation ceremony will be held on time at noon, and the location will be in the main hall. Before that, your highness, you need to take a shower and change your clothes..."

After pausing for a moment, he looked at the eldest prince who nodded repeatedly, and smiled and said, "Of course, it's still early now. So if you don't mind, you can accompany you to a brief tour of the island landscape."

"This is my honor." Of course the eldest prince would not refuse, and nodded with a satisfied smile.

To a certain extent, the above dialogue that is complimenting to each other actually represents the relationship between the temple and the empire today - mutual help and prosperity!

This is the south, not the north where the foundation of faith is messed up by Tang En. The influence of the temple here is still as powerful as ever.

The empire needs such a powerful influence, especially at this special time of internal and external troubles.

As for the Temple of Light, its nature determines the choice it can make. It is just a religious group, not a political center. Just like a vine, even if the vine is astonishingly powerful, it is always about to climb on a tree. The so-called choice is just to see which tree is strong enough...

And when both parties know this in their hearts and agree with this tone, everything becomes easier to say. What follows is,.

While we were greeting, the nobles accompanying the ship were almost finished again.

That's right, it's just a secondary inspection, which is not surprising. After all, the other side of the lakeside was still a bit chaotic, and the inspection was more just a procedure and was not careful. But now after actually coming to the temple, the situation is naturally different.

When it was right, Tang En's assassin identity had already become famous all over the world, and his superb disguise level was known to everyone. The intelligence department at the temple was not a good meal, so he was naturally prepared for this. Therefore, including the eldest prince, there were people coming from the capital. Before getting off the ship, they had to undergo serious and cumbersome inspections to confirm their identity...

Fortunately, the results were good. After a long inspection, there were no errors and abnormalities.

Then, under the introduction of the eldest prince, the nobles followed him to salute and meet with the high-level temple. There was inevitably another polite greeting, not to mention it for the time being. Then, at the invitation of the latter, a group of people started to visit the temple meeting with a chat and laugh...

To be honest, there is really nothing to say about the scenery. The temple will always be just an island. The nobles with good living are knowledgeable and will not be surprised by it. Of course, no matter whether they are interested or not, they always have to do superficial skills, so the atmosphere is pretty good...

After a while, the group visited the center of the island and turned around the corridor. A huge sculpture of figure carved from flawless jade came into view, as if it was facing the sky and the earth, with a majestic momentum.

"That's... God of Father is transformed into a statue of God! Well, I want to pray before the god's seat. I wonder if it's okay?" Seeing this, the eldest prince's eyes flashed and suddenly turned his head and asked.

The Pope nodded happily: "Of course, God the Father will not refuse any believer's prayer and worship." He paused for a moment, looked up at the sky, "It happened to be the direction of the main hall. It's getting late. After His Highness's prayer is over, the coronation ceremony will almost begin."

"Thank you for your agreement," bowed and said with a bow. The eldest prince shrugged and smiled, "I'm not afraid of you, Pope, to joke. I'm under great pressure recently... The situation in the empire is not optimistic now. The army of barbarians on the north bank of the Renault River is ready to move. According to the analysis of the military headquarters, the other party must have had abnormal movements recently! At that time, I think there will be another fierce battle, alas..."

The Pope still expressed his calm expression and said: "Victory will belong to the light! Your Highness does not have to worry. According to the agreement, the temple will fully support you and your army in the future, guard the Renault River, and never give those evil heresies from the north the opportunity to attract the land in the south."

"That would be great. On behalf of the empire, I would like to thank the pope and all the great masters for their support." After a pause, the eldest prince seemed to be inadvertently looking at the temple association complex, and suddenly asked, "By the way, I don't know what the temple traitor is now?"

When the pope raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, he finally understood the true meaning of the eldest prince. He replied with a smile, "I am still imprisoned, there is no abnormality." Then, he turned his hands and pointed at his feet, "This is the place where the temple is always blessed. Whether in the past, present, or future, no one can cause trouble within the sight of God the Father!"

"Haha, that's good, that's good..." They are all smart people, and if they are a little scared, they don't need to be put on the table. Hearing the confidence and promise made by the pope himself, the shadow of the crisis that has been lurking in the heart of the eldest prince finally disappeared completely.

Yes, where is this place?

The temple always has! The thousand-year-old heritage is not just for fun. If we only talk about the number of masters, no matter which force on the mainland, no matter how strong the temple is, it is impossible to say that it can suppress the temple. In other words, if there is still a safe place on this continent, it must be the temple always!

Although he made harsh words a few days ago, he has never dared to show up now, and even dared to try to sneak into the temple, he would always make some noise. Hasn’t this proven?

After completely calming down, the eldest prince laughed and waved his hand to invite him, "Pope... Oh, be careful of the stone steps." The towering statue of the god is not far away, and the main hall is closer to the place where everyone is, just a long railing stone path.

Stepping on the steps and walking up the stone path. Perhaps because of his mood, the eldest prince suddenly realized that the scenery around him became pleasing to the eye.

In fact, this is true. Of course, the bluestone slabs and white jade railings are not good-looking, but the large ornamental ponds on both sides of the stone path are different. The clear light green pond water, the various exquisite rockery, and the free ornamental fish swimming... Especially the unique variety of water lotus, which is different from other places, the puffy green leaves cover the sky and the sun, and the holy lotus blooms proudly and grandly, making people feel that they can only see from afar but not play with it. It is really beautiful.

"What does Your Highness think about this?" Seeing that the eldest prince beside him slowed down and then looked at his gaze, the pope couldn't help but smile, and simply stopped, moved a few steps sideways to the railing and asked.

If the Pope knew the art of prophecy and knew what happened next, he would definitely not have taken these steps, would not have come to the railing, and would not have asked this question - it's a pity that he claimed to be the spokesperson of the gods, but after all, he was not a god!

"This is a famous temple scene in the world, the holy land water lotus?" The eldest prince sighed, "It's really beautiful!"

"Haha..." Hearing this satisfied and admiration, the pope, who had already loved this scene, couldn't help but nodded happily, chuckled, and opened his mouth to say something, but his turbid pupils suddenly shrank.

boom--

Water splashes everywhere, lotus shatters!

Death, coming in an instant—
