Chapter 10 Guardian Knights
Seeing that Pope Nicholas spoke, everyone was stunned and extremely shocked. Including those archbishops in the cardinals, only Hadros was stunned and smiled slightly, as if he had expected it.
The Pope personally performs baptism, which is not only a matter of great glory, but more importantly, the meaning behind it.
First, he will not be any faction, but will be directly affiliated with the Pope, just like his direct line. Secondly, Pope Nicholas has a reputation.
After so many years, no one who has been praised and recognized by him has been unknown, and those who have been baptized by him have become famous people in the world.
Previously, the person who had performed baptism, even if he had a low status, was considered a declining nobleman. The only civilian in his hands who had received baptism is now even more famous: the god knight Mars.
If this matter is really implemented today, it means that Qin Shaofu will become the first civilian to be baptized by the pope after Mars.
"Mr. Think twice!"
Bishop Longkali was the first to object: "Is he just a civilian, or... a descendant of the Eastern people, how can you let him baptize him in person?"
"It is indeed inappropriate for him to become a Lord Knight directly." Bishop Fabio also opposed: "Although there are Lord Knights who have increased their merits by completing the mission of the Holy See, they can only kill one person, or even pick up the heads that fall after killing others, and he is the only one who becomes Lord Knight."
"If the Crown Prince was still allowed to perform the baptism personally, it would probably make the knights dissatisfied."
Not only the two, but the other bishops also agreed, each with different reasons. Even Bishop Andrew frowned, as if he never thought that this would be the case.
When the crowds were crowded, Pope Nicholas raised his hand and the chamber immediately became quiet. He glanced at everyone and said slowly: "When I baptized Mars, there were more people who opposed it than today, and there was a royal family that day."
"When I baptized Mars, my environment was much worse than today, and it was in a horse booth. Therefore, I arranged for Mars to be a dragon husband for three years, and his identity was much worse than that of the Lord Knight... Do you have anything else to say?"
No one spoke again, and no one objected again. Not only because what Pope Nicholas said was reasonable, but also because he was willing to explain, it meant that his idea had been decided.
The Pope represents God. The Pope means God, and the things God wants to do cannot be opposed by mortals.
"Prepare and start!"
Following Pope Nicholas's orders, someone immediately began to prepare.
"Qin Shaofu, come up!"
When he heard Pope Nicholas calling him, Qin Shaofu walked up the stone platform with great respect and stood in front of Pope Nicholas.
"Saint Magnolia, come up!"
After listening to the order, the saint also walked up the stone platform and stood beside Qin Shaofu.
"Come on one step."
Pope Nicholas took the Saint a step forward, stood beside him, and then said, "Every Saint should have two guardian knights, you can choose it yourself. Today, I want to choose one for you, what do you think?"
The saint was stunned and immediately understood the meaning. Without hesitation, he nodded and said, "I cannot win glory."
Maybe Assad was not killed by Qin Shaofu, but she still remembered that at that time of crisis, it was this man who stood up, and even more so when she negotiated terms with Assad, it was this man who gave her the chance to survive first.
He may not be a powerful guardian knight today, but he is definitely a brave and fearless knight.
Pope Nicholas said to Qin Shaofu again: "You have the blood of an oriental person and have a great relationship with the Magnolia Saint. She is a Chinese from the Linhu Basin. Today, I would like to ask you as her guardian knight, regardless of light and darkness, war and peace, birth, old age, sickness and death, to protect her forever. Are you willing?"
When he heard Pope Nicholas talking to the Saint, Qin Shaofu already knew what was going to happen. He had already thought a lot in his mind about these breathing times.
A person who yearns to be a knight and protects the meaning of a knight, he naturally knows the meaning of this. This is a half-loyalty method, and from then on, the fate of the two is implicated.
In normal times, the knight will do his own things and fight for his destiny. When the person he is loyal to is in need, the knight will protect her at all costs.
Those who are loyal to them do not necessarily have extraordinary identities. Many knights will also be moved by meeting a beautiful civilian woman and swear allegiance to protect her.
But most of the loyalists are noble people, including princes and nobles, men and women, and they will give more opportunities to guard the knights, and thus guard the knights will also gain more power to protect the people they want to guard.
Suddenly, he would become a guardian knight of a saint, and the witness was still the current Pope Nicholas, and Qin Shaofu was a little unable to relieve himself.
When Pope Nicholas asked again, Qin Shaofu nodded repeatedly: "I do."
He has the blood of an oriental person and will become a knight. The Magnolia Saint is the Saint of the Chinese, and he is the person he should protect.
At this time, someone had already brought a golden bottle containing holy water and was waiting aside.
Pope Nicholas looked at Qin Shaofu and nodded: "It's beginning."
After Qin Shaofu knelt down on one knee, Pope Nicholas took Bai Yuyao's hand and placed it on top of his head.
"I, Nicholas, under the divine light, the 105th Pope of the Holy Spirit, the custodian of the Holy Spirit's staff, the leader of the Holy Spirit, baptize you in front of everyone in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit."
“Are you willing to accept God of Light as the Savior, join the God of Light, and live a holy life according to the teachings of the Bible?”
"I do!"
"Do you believe that the Lord's blood can cleanse your sins?"
"I believe it!"
“Will you be crucified, buried, and resurrected with the Lord?”
"I do!"
"Will you keep the virtues of the knight, humility, honor, sacrifice, heroism, compassion, honesty, justice, soul?"
"I do!"
"Are you willing to obey the laws of the knights, not for wealth, not for selfishness, only for justice and justice, only for those who need our protection and help?"
"I do!"
"Would you like to be the guardian knight of the Magnolia Saint Bai Yuyao, regardless of light and darkness, war and peace, birth, old age, sickness and death, protect her forever?"
"I do!"
"May God of Light bless you!"
Pope Nicholas and the Saint took back their hands, lifted the golden bottle, and slowly poured the holy water down from Qin Shaofu's head.
The moment the holy water touched the hair, Qin Shaofu bit his teeth suddenly and his whole body trembled.
It’s not that he has seen baptism. Victor is a pastor and I don’t know how many people have baptized him. He has also been exposed to holy water. This kind of water in the name of holy is actually ordinary water.
But today is different. After the water is soaked, it is like boiling water. It is not because of temperature, but because of the power, it contains a kind of power, which seems to be incompatible with oneself. The mutually exclusive power hurts deep in the soul, making him suffer.
The saint felt his situation and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
"No, nothing!"
Qin Shaofu put all his perseverance into enduring it. Even if it was such a severe pain, he would never let himself lose his composure. He didn't understand why this was, and Victor had never had such a situation.
But this is not important. What is important is that the opportunity for the knight is right in front of you. Once you show discomfort, you will think it is a heresy. Not to mention becoming a knight, you can't even save your life.
Pope Nicholas felt nothing, and said prayer words, poured the holy water, and then sat back on the golden jade throne.
"Congratulations, Lord Knight... Qin!"
Qin Shaofu was busy and bowed his head half-kneel to hide his pale face in pain: "Thank you, Pope!"
Pope Nicholas nodded, looked at the archbishops in the clothes and said slowly.
"This time the angel Holy Spirit is coming, I want the last one, to... Lord Knight Qin."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was upset.
