My summons are weird

Chapter 325 324. Being a Parent

Since the official decentralization of power, all the members of the Theocracy's Academy of Glory have tacitly not disturbed Laurent's final clean-up, and have fully complied with Maojing's request, instead of restricting him to a certain extent as in the past.

The Pope's Tower, which has not been disturbed, ushered in a peace rarely seen in decades. People were also surprised to find that the Theocracy, after Laurent's long-term reform and governance, was still able to run smoothly even if he no longer relied on his guidance.

The cold wind gradually picked up, and the last trace of autumn heat disappeared with the wind.

Laurent suddenly announced that everyone in the Academy of Glory was summoned.

Suddenly, even Mao Jing was stunned for a while before rushing to convey it himself.

Everyone who hadn't set foot in the Pope's Tower for a long time was relieved to see that Laurent was lying on the bed as usual, not seriously ill, with a peaceful expression.

Many major events happened unexpectedly in a peaceful atmosphere.

In front of the archbishop, the high priest, and the head of the incarnation of glory, Laurent calmly announced the candidate for the pope.

There is no sign of it.

This was a decision that surprised everyone, and all eyes were locked on the new Pope.

The archbishop of the court, Antonio, stared wide-eyed. With his white beard and hair, he looked at Laurent in disbelief, completely unaware of how impolite his actions were.

Antonio, sixty-eight years old, is the oldest and oldest person in the Academy of Glory composed of archbishops and high priests at the moment when Laurent vigorously promotes newcomers.

Like most people who became members of the Academy of Radiance, Antonio was helped by Laurende when he was a child, and when he grew up, he conquered a kind of old man of the Church with his outstanding ability, and was affirmed by Laurende and awarded the Academy of Radiance. tickets.

Laurent once commented on Antonio to Lu Yu, he is a person who is aggressive and embarrassing, and he lives up to everyone's expectations.

People who reach Antonio's age are often afraid of change, so they will do everything possible to stabilize the current situation.

Frankly speaking, even without comparison with Sierra, Antonio still has some shortcomings compared to other people in the House of Glory. In the Theocracy, almost no one is optimistic about Antonio.

Laurende's eyes swept over everyone present one by one, silently emphasizing his unquestionable will.

It was not yet time for the coronation, but good old David still stood up and hugged Antonio.

Antonio, who was still in shock, accepted his companions' greetings to him with complicated emotions.

Antonio knelt down facing Laurende, his head pressed to the ground.

Laurende seemed to know what Antonio wanted to say, he interrupted the other party's planned words without hesitation, and asked everyone in the Academy of Radiance to retreat outside the tower and wait.

At this moment, Antonio could no longer care about Lu Yu and others watching in the room. He grabbed the ground with his head excitedly, wept and choked up: "Master Pope... I don't have the ability to match..."

This may be the most miraculous scene in the history of the Four Great Powers. After being confirmed as the next Pope, the gray-haired Antonio cried like a child, not caring about the image at all.

"I can't lead the Theocracy to go further... You once criticized me for being conservative and closed, and taught me to be open-minded... I tried my best to correct it, but I am old after all... How can I be qualified to succeed you if I am not favored by the gods..."

It wasn't the pretentious gesture of refusing to accept when the ministers came to advise Jia Jiuxi, Antonio walked to the hospital bed on his knees, took Laurende's dry folded hand, pressed his forehead to it, and cried uncontrollably.

He is afraid.

Afraid that Laurent entrusted him with inhumanity, feared that he would not be able to make the Theocracy better, and feared that his own shortcomings would cause the Theocracy to decline in his own hands...

The majestic Tribunal Archbishop is already in tears.

Laurent touched the old boy's head and said earnestly: "It is true that you have many shortcomings...but you have already shown a sense of responsibility that is worthy of being the Pope."

"My lord Pope..." Antonio still refused to raise his head to meet Laurent's gaze.

"Don't cry... When you were young, you were injured while practicing swordsmanship. The nuns helped to bandage you and still kept silent. Why are you crying so much when you are old... On the contrary, old age has enriched your feelings a lot." Laurent teased.

"Antonio, please remember what I say next."

"Look up and look at me!"

Laurende's stern voice made Antonio raise his head reflexively.

"Choose you who are cautious and conservative as the Pope. It is by no means that no one can be selected. In terms of seniority, you are the best candidate for the Pope in the next four years."

Antonio, wiping away his tears, caught the special number in the words: "Four years?"

"Whether you believe it or not, I did hear a strange voice in my dream... That voice told me that a turmoil is coming, and only a cautious helm can keep the Theocracy safe from the storm."

Laurent said, "Antonio, you are indeed not the most suitable candidate for the Pope. No matter how you look at it, you are far inferior to the members of the House of Glory. But turmoil is coming, and the Church needs your conservativeness and prudence, and your seriousness. We must carefully weigh the pros and cons in every choice and make the safest decision.”

"In the next four years, you will be the best Pope in the Theocracy, bar none."

Laurent looked at the head of the glorious incarnation who also did not leave the room. The Theocracy, who covered himself in a silver robe and a black veil on his face, walked towards Antonio with a photo scroll.

At the same time, Sera also stood up with the same scroll.

"In the scroll, there is the Pope who is most suitable for the Theocracy after the turmoil is over, and you will need to help him then."

Antonio, who fully understands Laurende's intentions, swears to the God of Glory that he will make a smooth transfer of power and fulfill the responsibility of a transitional pope.

...

...

The members of the Academy of Glory left under the leadership of Antonio. Although they were puzzled, they still quickly adapted to Antonio's change of identity.

In the garden of the Pope's Tower, which was quiet again, the elemental wind was shaped, and the cute little manta ray was stuck under Laurend's chair, and the chair was transformed into a flying chair capable of floating and moving with the constantly flowing wind element.

Although Laurent has always been persistent in wanting to walk without external force, his deteriorating body cannot tolerate his stubbornness.

Serra suddenly asked, "I'm the best candidate for the Pope, right?"

Everyone walking behind the flying chair was stunned for a moment.

Laurent smiled, but said nothing.

"Why did you change your mind?"

Laurende turned her head, her eyes swept over Lulu, Lu Yu, and the mist demon, and finally stopped on Mao Jing's face—the demure she smiled gently.

"I don't want you to be me."

Laurent reached out and stroked Sera's face lightly.

"This road...is too bitter."

These are not words uttered in the Pope's capacity.

"It's really too bitter...I've tasted too much, how can I let you taste it too..."

"I still remember that day, you were standing in the middle of the chant class, others trembled when they saw me coming, your voice was out of tune, only you, your voice was sweet, and your smiling face was like a sunflower blooming towards the sun... See When it comes to me, you are neither humble nor overbearing, and you even boldly asked me if I would be rewarded for singing well."

"I didn't bring anything with me when I went out. Do you still remember your expression... I was very upset and felt that I cheated you... But I never cheated, and I took you away from the chant class that night."

"It only took you one day to make everyone in the Pope's Tower like you. You will cheer for the cook who cooks a good table, you will take the initiative to help the servants clean up, learn from the gardener who takes care of the garden, and then run excitedly Show off in front of us..."

"The cold-faced nun in black smiled happily when she saw you, and the silent and serious Knights of the Pope warmly embraced you, and handed over their cherished sword and helmet to you..."

One pile, one piece, Laurende talked endlessly.

Attending the dinner of Prince Sligos Raphael, because a viscount slandered him behind his back, Sera took the viscount's glove away with a smile, and put the spiny shrimp's whiskers in it...

Laurende laughed, and he can still remember the horror, fear, and embarrassment on the face of the viscount who was looking for the prankster angrily and waved violently, and Sera deliberately leaned forward to flop. .

Eleven-year-old Sera accompanied him to the banquet of the Four Kingdoms for the first time. He secretly used sugar glue to cover the altar placed in the corner of the royal family of Cordzorn, and pretended to accidentally knock over the offering and secretly hid it. One is taken away and eaten secretly.

Sierra, who ate the offerings like a greedy cat, thought that no one knew about it, but she never thought that Laurent and Maojing were peeking in the dark.

Sera lowered her head, even trembling... The good memory in Laurend's eyes is her black history of public execution!

After returning to the Theocracy, Sera hid in the church and ate the offerings bit by bit, as if awakened.

Based on Sera's choice, Laurent summed up her favorite taste, and secretly asked people to replace a large number of offerings, just to make her eat happily.

...

He remembered it so clearly that those details were vivid, and he looked happy when he recalled it.

Sera was no longer ashamed, her eyes were red, and crystal clear tears flowed down.

"If we hadn't become Pope, Maojing and I would have had quite a few children..."

"I want to hug them and read to them the books in the basement; I want to make them delicate and small toys and listen to them praise 'Daddy is amazing'; I also want to take them to the place where I met Mao Jing... Tell They, look, right here, my mother and I had a fight here, and my father took off a lot of scales from my mother at that time, and was chased and killed by her angrily..."

"I don't want to be the pope...but they chose me, the Theocracy chose me...a god somewhere chose me too."

"Sera...I have always regarded you as my own child..."

"I know..." Sera lowered her head, tears streaming down her face.

"I want my children to be happy, and I don't want them to suffer... That's what being a parent is all about." Laurent said, "You have a group of good friends, and you also have a love you want to chase... Be bold and chase it... Don't be fooled by the country, Bound by blood, you are far freer than us."
