C408 An Old Friend I Haven't Seen in a Long Time(3)
The word "godfather" stunned everyone, including Sky High.
One should know that as a priest, he was able to serve the Light Vatican. Joining the Church to spread the news of the God of Light was the choice of most people, and entering the Church generally required a baptism. And most of the time, it was his godfather who came to baptize this person.
Of course, not everyone could be a godfather. If you were just an ordinary person, then the one who baptized you would only be an ordinary priest. But if you had a more outstanding achievement or a very good talent, if you are seen as the future hope, then you will be honored to receive the baptism of a bishop or a cardinal. Because such a young and handsome man is very likely to become a candidate for Pope or Bishop, this can also help them make plans for the future. There seems to be something more to it.
As the leader of the Holy See, Pope can also be baptized, of course as long as your rank is high enough. As long as your strength is strong enough. If the Emperor of Yat Empire was willing to accept the baptism, then his qualification would be enough for Pope to personally baptize him. Including Qingtian, the Pope naturally hoped that the baptism would be carried out. If that was the case, he would become the godfather of the number one person on the continent. Then, he would be able to strengthen the prestige of the Church.
But this person in front of him actually called the Pope "godfather"! You have to know, what does this mean? This person had once received the baptism of the Pope, and was very familiar with this old fellow.
" Oh? So it's an acquaintance? Your Majesty, I've never heard of you having such a powerful child. And you're currently working for that group of people. He can use his identity to sneak in whenever he's locked up. This kid isn't simple! " Tian Qingtian said faintly from the side.
However, the old Pope seemed to be unable to hear his voice at this moment. He looked at Ming, who was still panting heavily. He was so excited that his entire body trembled. "You... child... Why, why is it you? After so many years... Where have you been!?"
" Me? Thanks to you, I'm in this state now. But thank you, if I have always been under your command... Although I may also become the Pope, I will never understand the true meaning of power... I would never have the power I have now, you know, how happy I was when I found out that I had surpassed you, and how excited I was when I found out that I was already the strongest person in the Holy See on this continent? And these are things that you can never give to me." After saying that, Ming's eyes suddenly lit up. His extremely weak body suddenly became vigorous and vigorous, both hands grabbing towards the Pope's neck.
"Die! Return to the embrace of your God of Light, return to that foolish, ideal world of yours!" At this time, the Pope did not have any reaction at all, squatting there blankly like a stone statue.
But at this critical moment, the hands that Ming had just stretched out were tightly grabbed. Atlas had appeared behind the Pope at some point in time, his two hands tightly grabbing onto his wrists.
"Child, this is not right for you to treat your godfather like this. People need to know to repay kindness, and not be ungrateful. Then, use your hands to return to your godfather first. " As he spoke, he exerted force.
"Ah!" A miserable cry resounded throughout the Holy Church. If not for the Pope having already ordered that no one was allowed to enter or leave the area, perhaps the entire Holy Church would have come over to take a look.
At this time, Atlas had already let go of his open wrist. Although the other party's arms were still raised, his two hands were already hanging down without any strength. His entire wrist had actually been crushed by Atlas.
The Pope who had just been silent in his memories finally woke up and immediately stopped Ashlow's second attack. He stretched out his hand and lightly patted Ming's head, who was still struggling on the ground. Ming had fainted.
"Hu!" As if he had experienced a great battle, Pope, who was looked up to by thousands of people, had already collapsed onto the ground. His already aged face seemed to have deteriorated even more.
"Your Majesty, I think it is not time for you to rest yet. Everyone is waiting for your story. A person who is obviously part of the organization actually calls you Father? Hehe, what a coincidence!" Qingtian, who was standing beside the old man, said as he put his hands on his waist.
"Hahaha, what a coincidence. Why is it him? What should I do..."
So, this Ming was once a believer of light. Moreover, he was born with a male holy body, and from the moment he was born, there were powerful light elements surrounding him. The local priest didn't dare to delay and immediately reported this matter to the Church.
A holy body, if it was a girl, it was very likely that she would become saintess. Now it was a boy. Looking at the light elements that continuously emitted from his body, it was not impossible for him to become the supreme Pope of Light Vatican in the future.
Because it was a special male holy body, plus the exaggerated nature of the local priest. Very quickly, the Church sent an archbishop to bring this child to Light Vatican within the Sragg Empire. At that time, there was no Pope who was as old as he was now. Seeing this child, he was filled with joy. "He will be my successor, and he will become the Pope in the future." Thus, when this child was eight years old, he received the baptism of the Pope of the Light Vatican. He became a member of the Church.
The family of the child was naturally incomparably glorious. At that time, the scene of the baptism was very big, and all the large empires were participating. This was the first time the Pope had undergone a baptism, and the other party's identity was actually an ordinary person!
But when these people truly saw this boy, they understood: an eight-year-old child would not be able to control the light elements in his body, and the Light Vatican was a place where the experts of the light system gathered. Thus, the elements were very abundant. There was always a layer of golden light around this child. This was the attraction of his body to the surrounding light elements. Although some of the powerhouses present could do such a strong attraction, no one could accidentally be attached to it.
"This child will break through to the Holy Level before the age of one hundred, and become the youngest Divine Level in the history of Light Vatican!" Some people predicted that he would become a Divine Level at the age of 80.
In the face of these praises, the Pope did not reject them at all, and gladly accepted them. After that, he began to teach him. The enlightened teachings were all arranged by Pope. Because he was young... In addition to his physical condition, the old man did not intend to let him start to raise his strength. Instead, he wanted to instill sufficient knowledge into this child. The most important thing was to first nurture his firm and devout beliefs.
However, for a child who was not even ten years old, studying and praying all day was not what he wanted. But every time he heard the Pope's expectations and the envious gazes of the surrounding people, he endured it. Finally, when he was twelve years old, he officially began learning light magic.
"Maybe he was born to learn the light magic." This was the conclusion that a few cardinals came to. A healing spell, for those who had just come into contact with it, would take a month or even longer. And this child, under the guidance of the Pope, actually understood it in just a few days, and with the support of his own powerful light element, the effect was much better.
He became famous at a young age, and had the most powerful and prestigious godfather on the continent. He himself was a Sacred Body, and his understanding of magic was much faster than ordinary people. It was as if there were countless halos on this child's body. He was illuminated by countless honors, but he was not happy in his heart.
This was because most of light system's magic was used for healing purposes, and it had to be strongly worshiped by the God of Light. Therefore, there were very few people who could cultivate like the others since they were young. Because you could not expect a child to silently pray in front of a statue for a few hours, the experts of the light system were older.
Just as the Pope was planning to give this child the identity of a bishop, the two of them had a disagreement. The child hopes to continue practicing magic, it is obvious that he has a more persistent pursuit and hobby for magic. The Pope hoped that he would improve magic and faith together, so that there would be a better development. And as his successor, he had to have experience working under "the" following. Thus, he was sent to a small local church to teach. It was also because of this demotion that the relationship between the two of them ultimately broke down!
