Chapter 45 I'm here for you

Under the altar, the Cardinal in red robe stood under the altar, holding the Bible in his hand and looking at Eugen with a smile. The candlelight on the altar shone out from behind the cardinal's back, and it looked like a hazy halo covering the cardinal.

Next to the two Cardinals, there were a row of boys in black dresses standing each. These were members of the church choir. At this moment, they were looking at Eugen who was gradually walking towards him with clear and curious eyes.

The sun gradually rose, and the light shone in from the church windows, forming several vague columns of light. Morning light fell on the wall from the obliquely above, slowly moved along the wall, passing through the columns, angel figures, candlesticks, and finally landed at the altar.

Widths of blue smoke generated by the burning of candles circling around the inside, slowly floating upwards, flying towards the wide and grand dome above. There are thick black iron lines symmetrically distributed on the dome, and the lines are layered and intertwined, making it look like the illusion that the space is stretched and twisted.

Eugen walked past the pillars, the angel statue and candlestick, and walked to the bishop, and slowly knelt on one knee.

"Child, who are you?" After Eugen knelt down, the Cardinal asked in a holy and peaceful tone.

"I am Eugen of the Habsburg family." Eugen replied simply. Butler West once told Eugen that he could answer directly without thinking too much.

The Cardinal nodded and smiled, his body lowered slightly, and asked in a gentler tone than before: "Eugen of the Habsburg family, would you be a warrior of the Lord, to safeguard the Lord's honor, and to fight for the Lord with your sword?"

"I, Eugen of the Habsburg family, are willing to be the Lord's warrior, safeguard the Lord's honor, and fight for the Lord with my sword!" Eugen said strongly.

"Don't stop until death?" the Cardinal asked.

"Don't stop until death!" Eugen replied as he spoke.

When Eugen finished answering, the Cardinal turned around and walked back, dipped some holy oil on the altar with his thumb, and then walked back.

"You will become a warrior of the Lord, and uphold the glory of the Lord. No matter where you go, the Lord's will will be with you." Then the Cardinal pressed his thumb with holy oil on Eugen's forehead and began to read the scriptures aloud.

The boys of the choir standing beside them also began to hum in a low voice, and the melodious tone gradually flowed in the air. The sound passed through the reflection of the dome and the surrounding walls and immediately filled the entire church.

Just as the Cardinal pressed his thumb against Eugen's forehead, a clear touch came from his forehead, as if a clear stream of water flowed into his heart.

Thinking of the situation where his soul traveled, Eugen couldn't help but feel a sudden jump in his heart, as if he had really received the attention of the Lord.

The ethereal chanting of scriptures reached Eugen's ears, and his spirit suddenly became trance. Recently, events that have occurred appeared back and forth in his heart, and faces lingered in front of him, appearing and appearing, as if there were or not.

After a long time, the Cardinal finally finished chanting the scriptures, and the boys in the choir stopped singing.

"Okay, Mr. Eugen, the ceremony has ended, and you have become the Lord's warrior." The bishop wrapped his left hand in his arms, bent down and stretched out his right hand to help Eugen up.

Eugen stood up and his spirit returned to Qingming. He looked at the Cardinal with a smile and said sincerely: "Thank you."

The Cardinal patted Eugen on the arm and said with a smile: "Haha, no, we are all servants serving the Lord, and we should help each other."

The Cardinal said nothing wrong, but it seemed a bit frivolous in terms of its movements. Eugen looked at the bishop with a little surprise, and then he realized that the cardinal was surprisingly young.

Due to environmental factors just now, Eugen did not take a closer look. At this moment, he realized that the bishop who helped him preside over the ceremony might be only in his twenties from his appearance.

This is simply incredible for a cardinal in her twenties. The cardinal is the most capable assistant and consultant in the Pope's position in governing the universal church. As a cardinal, he even has the right to elect a bishop and has a transcendent status.

And judging by this age, if the cardinal in front of him does not have any major problems, he will almost certainly become the Pope.

A future pope, this is too heavy.

The Cardinal seemed to see Eugen's surprise. He patted Eugen's arm with a hearty look and said with a smile: "Mr. Eugen, you have some rituals to participate in next. If you have any questions, let's talk about those rituals first."

This action really seems a bit intimate, just like two of them are old friends who have known each other for many years.

Eugen wanted to have a good talk with the future pope after hearing what he said, but he also knew that it was not the time, and if he wanted to talk, he had to wait until he accepted the title of earl.

So Eugen nodded to the Cardinal and turned around and walked out of the church.

Just as Eugen walked out of the church gate, the Cardinal suddenly shouted to Eugen: "I will stay in this church for about three days. If Mr. Eugen wants to find me, just come to this church."

Eugen stopped and turned around and looked at the cardinal. The bishop was still smiling and continued to say to Eugen: "Mr. Eugen, I came here specifically for you. Please meet me as soon as possible to discuss in detail."

Eugen suddenly felt that he couldn't understand the young cardinal. There seemed to be a lot of things hidden under the standardized smile on his face.

However, it was useless to think too much at the moment, Eugen turned around and left the church. The young cardinal looked at Eugen with a determined expression. He knew that Eugen would definitely come to find him.

After coming out of the church, the sunlight had completely risen from the horizon. The carriage parked in front of the door emitted a dazzling golden light under the sunlight, and the two carriages had a nearly rustic luxury.

The soldiers around were still standing tall, and some of the citizens around him dispersed, but there were still many waiting.

Two nuns at the door put on a cloak for Eugen and returned the sword to him. Eugen noticed that next to the carriage was a handsome and spiritual dark horse, his Andalusian war horse---Black Gold.

The imperial custom is that the ceremony of titles to the church should reflect one's humility, so it should be hidden in a carriage. The ceremony of titles to the palace should reflect one's majesty and a strong national strength, so one must ride one's own war horse forward.

Although Eugen didn't like to show off too much, he could not avoid this kind of ritual, so he walked to Hei Jin and turned over and rode up.

The soldiers beside him were also replaced by the most elite heavy cavalry in China - the Black Hawk heavy cavalry under Prince Eugen.
