Chapter 467 Children, I am resurrected
The holy city in the rainy season was shrouded in endless haze. The fine raindrops, like threads of sorrow, kept falling from the lead-gray sky, casting a heavy veil over this ancient holy city.
The Cathedral of the Holy City, this solemn and dignified building, stood quietly in the rain, like a silent giant, witnessing the upcoming canonization ceremony. A heavy and solemn atmosphere permeated the church.
Under the huge dome are rows of neatly arranged seats, which are now filled with people who come to watch the ceremony.
The nobles were dressed in gorgeous brocade robes and looked solemn; the clergy were dressed in white robes, holding Bibles with focused eyes; and many believers knelt quietly on both sides of the aisle, with their hands clasped together, praying silently, their faces full of piety and awe.
The King of France sat on the throne in front of the church, wearing a crown inlaid with countless gems and a black robe embroidered with gold thread. He looked majestic and solemn.
He glanced at the crowd below and spoke slowly:
"Today, we gather here to commemorate a great hero - John."
"In the holy war, with fearless courage and firm faith, he protected this land for us and fought for our faith until the last moment of his life."
"His achievements will be forever engraved in the history of our holy city, and his spirit will always inspire us to move forward."
"Now, we hold a canonization ceremony for him, so that his soul can rest in peace and his holy name will be remembered forever."
As soon as the King of France finished speaking, an archbishop in a golden robe slowly walked forward.
He held a jeweled scepter in his hand, and every step he took was steady and solemn.
Arriving before the King of France, the Archbishop bowed his head slightly, saluted, then turned to face the crowd and said in a loud and clear voice:
"Dear believers, we have all witnessed John's heroic deeds."
"Every time he charged into battle and every time he bravely killed the enemy, it was to protect our homeland and to defend our beliefs."
“His dedication and sacrifice are worthy of our eternal respect.
"Now, let us formally begin the canonization ceremony with reverence."
After saying this, the archbishop raised his scepter high, muttered something, and began to pray.
His deep and solemn voice echoed in the church, as if there was an invisible power that touched everyone's heart.
"Merciful God of Light, you are the master of all things and the symbol of justice and light."
"At this moment, we pray for your blessing and approval with an extremely pious heart."
"John's life is full of legends and glory. His dedication and sacrifice deserve to be recorded in the holy book of heaven. Please grant him divine glory and make him an eternal saint."
After the prayer, there was a reading of John's life.
An archbishop dressed in white robes walked up to the platform with firm steps.
In his hand he held a parchment scroll which recorded John's heroic deeds throughout his life.
The archbishop took a deep breath, then slowly unfolded the parchment, cleared his throat, and began to read.
After reading John's life story, the next most crucial step is to put the items and family emblems that symbolize John into the coffin.
Originally, John's body should have been placed in here, but now that it is not there, we can only use the holy relics instead, and put the body in after the physical teachings of the Yoda Empire are completed.
According to the tradition of previous canonization, the coffin is divided into three layers.
The archbishop in a golden robe, holding John's sword and badge, walked slowly to the coffin, his eyes full of awe and solemnity.
"These three layers of coffins symbolize the different meanings of John."
"The bottom layer is his roots, representing his origin and the glory of his family; the middle layer is his struggle and dedication in the world; and the top layer is the sacred realm he is about to enter. Now, I will place these symbols in the coffin so that they can accompany John and become his eternal memorial."
After saying this, the Archbishop carefully placed the sword and badge in their corresponding positions in the coffin.
Every movement he made was gentle and slow, as if he was afraid of disturbing anything.
Everyone watched all this quietly, especially the local citizens. Because John is now a saint, their hearts are full of respect for John and they prayed devoutly to the coffin.
Then the Dharma King stood up again, his eyes shining with determination and holiness.
"John Hohenzollern, you have fought for justice and faith all your life. Now, you will be canonized as a saint, your soul will rest in peace, and your name will be remembered forever in our hearts. May you enjoy eternal glory and become our eternal protector."
At the end of the ceremony, the clergy began to sing solemn hymns.
The melodious melody flowed slowly in the church, as if there was an invisible power that baptized everyone's soul.
Everyone closed their eyes and immersed themselves in this sacred atmosphere.
The rain gradually stopped, the dark clouds slowly dispersed, and rays of sunlight shone through the church's colorful windows, sprinkling into the church, forming brilliant rays of light.
The crowd slowly retreated, and Leonard followed the crowd to the door.
He looked up and was instantly shocked by the scene before him - a gorgeous rainbow spanned the sky.
"Oh, there's a rainbow. I haven't seen one in a while."
John in the carriage learned from the centurions that the rain outside had stopped and a rainbow had appeared. He opened the system map, and after seeing that the coalition forces in his territory had aggressively charged into the Yoda Empire, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
Then, he saw that the nobles in the south who had been waiting and watching were now gathering their troops and marching northward in a mighty force.
John sneered in his heart and thought to himself: It's time to end pretending to be dead.
At this time, John's army outside the carriage was still besieging the imperial capital like an iron barrel.
The soldiers lined up in neat rows, the weapons in their hands flashing coldly in the breeze.
However, since all the shells were used up and the centurions had not issued any orders to attack the city, they could only wait helplessly.
The bored soldiers looked up at the rainbow in the sky.
The rainbow was like a bridge connecting the world and heaven, emitting colorful light and reflecting on the tired faces of the soldiers.
"I heard from my family that whenever a rainbow appears, it means an angel has come to the world."
A young soldier was telling the story to the soldiers around him.
"Don't brag, what kind of angel is that? I saw him every day when I was a kid, and I made a wish every time, and every time I got hit by my mom's rolling pin."
Another soldier curled his lips and complained with disdain.
An older soldier nearby also echoed:
"That's right. Besides, what good will the angels do? Can they kick the city gate open, or bring Lord John down from heaven? Let's think about how to attack the city instead of wasting time."
Just as the soldiers were talking to each other, a faint shout suddenly came from the distance, and then they saw the centurions and a large number of officers walking towards the carriage, followed by a large number of soldiers.
"Go, go and have a look."
The soldiers looked at each other with confusion and uneasiness in their eyes, and then they walked quickly towards the carriage together.
When they came to the back of the carriage and looked inside, they were instantly shocked by the scene before them and stood still.
The coffin containing John's body was opened, and Lord John, who was originally believed to be dead, actually sat up from the coffin!
