Sensing Richelieu's arrival, Dudian's eyes gradually focused, he retracted from the empty ground, looked up at him, and said: "How is the ceremony going?"
"It's in progress, there will be no mistakes, sir, please rest assured.
Dudian nodded slightly, "When his succession ceremony is over, let him read the speech we prepared in advance."
"I will."
Richelieu nodded.
Dudian slowly withdrew his gaze, looking down at the air on the ground, his thoughts drifting away again.
Richelieu glanced at him secretly, and when he saw that nothing happened to him, he immediately retreated slowly.
When the sun gradually became stronger and the ceremony came to an end, Barton stood alone on the altar, facing the eyes coming from all directions.
Although he was nervous, his attention was all focused on the Bible in his hand.
Seems less awkward and cramped.
This Bible is very thick, but where he opened it, there was another layer of paper.
On it were the new words that the ancient language teacher translated from the ancient words in the Bible last night.
He had read through it twice with good accuracy every word. , speaking loudly at this moment, although he was slightly nervous, there were no mistakes or omissions.
No one knows that at such a solemn moment, the person on the stage who is reverently reading a poem full of fraternity is only thinking about not making mistakes.
After a while, Barton finally finished reading the Bible.
Barton breathed a sigh of relief and closed the Bible.
Only then did he feel that his hands were already a little stiff and laborious.
He raised his head and glanced in front of him, and suddenly saw countless densely packed black heads, and a person in the front row.
The eyes cast by this extraordinary and powerful man seemed to penetrate everything and see through all his background.
At this time, Richelieu slowly led two old men in snow-white robes onto the stage.
They each held a tray with the papal scepter and the Holy Crown on it.
Richelieu looked solemn and walked steadily as he approached Barton step by step.
It was the first time that Barton saw such a serious Pope.
His heart skipped a beat and he was a little nervous.
He didn't know what to do.
Richelieu looked at the timidity and embarrassment in the young man's eyes, and felt a burst of melancholy and sadness in his heart.
Although this matter was planned by Dudian, he never thought that the person who would replace him as the new pope would But he was such a young boy.
He felt a little ashamed of the previous popes and the mountain he once cherished.
After a moment of silence, when the preaching bell rang, Richelieu woke up, put away the distracting thoughts in his heart, followed the ceremony, said eulogies and instructions, and handed Barton the scepter and crown that had been with him for many years.
Barton originally wore a white hat on his head, which covered his black hair.
When Richelieu crowned him with the crown, he did not take off the white hat, but directly put it on it.
Although people with ulterior motives Seeing this scene will feel a little strange, but most people have not seen the grand occasion when the Pope succeeds to the throne, and do not know the tradition of the Holy See of Light, so they don't pay much attention.
In the blink of an eye, Barton put on the gorgeous and noble papal robes and the crown that represented the most holy and true.
He held the scepter endowed with divine power by the God of Light and stood on the high altar, although his eyes were full of nervousness.
He was uneasy, but his dignity and aura were already exuding.
A tsunami of cheers erupted from the square, spreading like waves.
Seeing the cheers and shouts, Barton gradually felt confident and had an unprecedented experience.
Amidst the cheers, Richelieu handed the scroll in his hand to Barton and whispered: "You are now the new pope and have just ascended the throne.
According to the rules, you have to state your views on the future of the Holy See and criticize the darkness.
Holy See, after you have finished your statement, it is time to express your favor, and these are all above."
Barton was slightly startled, then he came to his senses and put it away immediately.
After the cheers ended, Barton coughed lightly, plucked up the courage, opened the scroll, scanned it roughly, knew the general content, and immediately recited it from the beginning.
Countless people were listening in the square, which was also the main purpose of their coming here today.
"I announce that from today onwards, the Holy See of Light's asylum tax collection in various places will be halved.
From now on, all poor towns and villages can apply to the Holy See of Light for poverty alleviation."

Barton said in a rough voice, trying to spread his words as far away as possible, " The second point is, starting from today, pardon all criminals who disrupted the governance of the Holy See and insulted the Holy See within five years."
There was thunderous cheers from the audience.
The generals of the military, the director of the trial branch, and the legendary knights from the Knights Hall who were sitting in the front row were dumbfounded.
This first favor was too generous.
The asylum tax collection was halved.
How much money would this cost?
At least it’s worth the entire year’s income of a consortium.
As for the second article, they expected that when successive popes took the throne, most of them would issue a series of pardons to criminals to show tolerance.
"The third point is to restore the identity of Du Dian, the legendary genius of the Temple of Elements.
Master Du Dian was once framed by the Dark Holy See.
After detailed examination, Master Du Dian's innocence has been found out.
Master Du Dian's identity will be restored from now on."
Barton read this and felt a little excited.
Wake up, Du Dian was completely blocked at first, which made him worried, but he didn't expect that he was now unblocked.
"The fourth point is that the slum poverty alleviation plan will be launched today" In the blink of an eye, Barton said six things in one breath, finished the contents in one breath, and then put away the scroll.
The square was filled with thunderous applause and cheers.
Especially the wealthy businessmen, civilians and others who gathered outside the square were excited from the bottom of their hearts.
Among these six benefits, in addition to the exemption of asylum tax, there are many other taxes.
You must know that these heavy taxes have always been a burden.
The mountain on their bodies has now been reduced by more than half.
How can they not be excited and cheer?
Richelieu watched silently, with some confusion in his eyes.
He didn't know what Dudian was thinking.
He thought that Dudian would take this opportunity to raise taxes on all aspects, squeeze the people clean, and gather all the wealth into his own hands. , but unexpectedly, the latter was just the opposite.
Instead of squeezing the civilians, it gave them more opportunities and more help.
He didn't know whether it was a good or bad thing for the Holy See of Light to fall into the hands of Du Di'an, a little devil.
At the same time, he felt a little ashamed that he was not as good as this insidious little devil in this regard.
When Kaqi heard what Barton read loudly outside the hall, he felt relieved and said respectfully to Dudian: "Master, your identity has finally been restored and you can no longer hide it."
"The one who can save yourself is you, and only you, after all."
There was a deep look in Dudian's dark eyes
