after waking up.

Chapter 72 News from the Holy Mountain

The totem on Mulan's body shines brightly. The Radiant Knight stands behind him and spreads his wings. Standing at the foot of the shadow of the knight, Mulan seems to be in the center of the shadowless lamp, without all shadows, symbolizing light and justice.

After the oath was completed, there was no more rain on Mulan's body, and all of it was evaporated to dryness by the scorching breath.

I don't know if it was because of the scorching brilliance, Nishiriel's face was blushing, and she handed the sword back to Mulan, who took the fangs in both hands and slowly stood up.

The holy movement in the hall also reached its climax at this time. The magnificent tune of the pipe organ not only reverberated in the great church, but also spread outside the church, making this autumn rain gilded with a touch of sacred color.

This canonization is not a solemn event. In addition to the clergy of the church, including Queen Nishiriel, there were nearly a hundred nobles present.

Although Mulan was the last to arrive, before he arrived, there were already guards of honor leading the orchestra to open up the hall to play music, and the Queen's carriage drove from the palace to the sanctuary with extremely high specifications.

The appearance of the Radiant Knight shocked everyone present. At this moment, after Mulan took the sword, the close ministers around Nishiriel took the lead in applauding. All the spectators also recovered from the shock and began to applaud together. The sealer is also proud that he can see a glorious knight in this way.

The Archbishop of the Holy Church and a priest with a silver basin in his hand stepped forward. The silver basin was filled with radiant activating holy water. They were going to bless Mulan and everyone present at the ceremony.

Mulan took the initiative to approach the Archbishop with a solemn and solemn look. At this moment, his line of sight was rather strange. The holy water in the eyes of others seemed to have various strange and active energies flowing in his eyes, like worms twisting.

The archbishop held a willow branch, dipped it lightly with holy water, and threw it to Mulan. Mulan held his chest with one hand, accepted the baptism, and let the holy water sprinkle on his body and face.

The archbishop sprinkled the holy water around, and also to the heights, and the holy water emitted bursts of white light, as if echoing with the shadow of the glorious knight, making the entire hall of the church glow.

The holy light escaped through the windows and doors of the great sanctuary, and was visible to those on the periphery of the sanctuary.

"Congratulations, Sir Jonest!" "Congratulations, Mullan!"

"Congratulations, Lord Shining Knight!"

"Lord Knight, have the opportunity to be a guest at my place!"

All familiar and unfamiliar people congratulated Mulan in this brilliance, and Mulan seemed to have regained the spirit of the past, and responded with a smile to the nobles and church priests on the left and right sides.

If it weren't for the heavy rain, there would definitely have been a lot of Digao residents who were attracted by the Holy Light outside the church, and the church would also bless these spontaneously gathered spectators.

But even so, Digao residents who saw the brilliance in the sanctuary nearby would feel that they had witnessed a miracle, and their hearts would be more pious.

After the canonization ceremony, there will be a banquet in the palace, and more nobles will be present at that time, which is a very lively scene.

If it is said that Queen Nishiriel held such a solemn canonization for Mulan before, even if Mulan was a loyal knight who gave his life to save his life, some big nobles were quite critical, then after seeing the glorious knight at the ceremony , no one doubts the queen's wisdom anymore.

The banquet in the palace was prepared a few days in advance, and the chefs in the palace were very busy, while the court servants in charge of the banquet were scolding the mother and instructing a large number of servants and maids to take remedial measures.

"Hurry up, move fast!"

"Move in, move in!" "Watch out for those silverware—"

"The constant temperature pot should be moved carefully. Umbrella, where is the umbrella? Quickly hold the umbrella to block the rain. It doesn't matter if you get wet. The soup in it has been cooked for a whole day, and the banquet will start in a while, so there is no time to redo it! "

"And you guys, hurry up and prepare new tablecloths, these are all wet, so hurry up and dry them!"

The courtier was walking around in the rain holding an umbrella, his voice was about to become hoarse. This sudden rain killed him. The original plan was to have a banquet combining open air and indoor, but now he had to move it all indoors. More rooms have to be cleared out for the ballroom.

Now the carriages of nobles have come to the palace one after another, but the courtiers know that they still have time. The real big people are all in the great hall, and they have at least an hour to come.

An hour and a half later, the feast of the palace officially began. All the nobles and nobles inside and outside Digao were present. There were also bishops and archbishops in the Digao Church. There were hundreds of people attending the banquet alone, and the servants and maids in charge of serving There are even more, with 7 bands playing all over the place.

As one of the protagonists of the whole banquet, wherever Mulan goes, there will never be a shortage of people who come to greet and toast. His face and polite smile responded one by one. Even if the banquet here was unpleasant to drink up, Mulan was already full of water every time he tasted it.

But Mulan still refused to come, not only accepting people's praise, but also taking the initiative to talk to people friendly sometimes, like a real aristocrat who is integrated into the noble circle and is good at sociability.

The guests were well-groomed and well-dressed, and their accessories were jeweled. There were long food tables and rest tables and chairs on the edges of many banquet halls. There were piles of various exquisite foods on the tables. A variety of drinks, a variety of desserts and cakes in perfect shape, and a staff that is always on call and everywhere.

The quality of these nobles surprised Mulan a little, because there was a lot of discarded food on the ground, and even a whole roast suckling pig was thrown over the table, and there were more fruits and the like. He thought that the palace banquet It should be clean and tidy, but the nobles seem to be more unrestrained when they are in high spirits.

It's really extravagant with honey and milk flowing!

"Master Jones, I'm Susan, the eldest daughter of the Alva family, nice to meet you!"

Today's Mulan is destined to be unable to become invisible at the banquet, and it may be difficult in the future.

At a table full of food, another young aristocratic girl came to greet him, and Mulan smiled and raised her glass.

"Hello Miss Alva, it must be the beautiful sea that influenced the Count of Alva, who was able to give birth to such a charming daughter with Honored Matre, and your eyes are as shining and moving as the sea."

Of course, it is impossible for Mulan to know everyone and every family, but some powerful families have heard of it before, and the name of "Count of the Sea" Alva has been heard before.

Susan, who was holding the glass, was surprised, clutching her large chest with a surprised expression, and then a blush rose on her face.

"I didn't expect Lord Knight to know me. If Lord Knight didn't have a dance partner at that party."

"Master Jones, so you are here, I have something to look for you!"

Nisherier strode forward. She was wearing a long white gauze dress. The long skirt behind her was carried by two court maids. When she walked to Mulan's side, Mulan had already bowed slightly and saluted. Susan also quickly picked up the skirt and salute.

"His Majesty!"

"I have seen Her Majesty the Queen!"

"Don't be too polite, come with me."

Nisherier didn't say much, and turned around to leave after speaking. Her appearance made other people who were about to approach and get to know Mulan stopped in their tracks. Mulan apologized to the surroundings and quickly followed.

Nishiriel stepped forward quickly, and Mulan followed her to the right. She turned slightly to the left, glanced at the rear left, and then turned her head to look ahead and left.

On the side where Mulan was originally standing, Susan and the few people next to her just got up. She looked in the direction where the Queen and Mulan were leaving. The Queen seemed to ignore her when she came, but she seemed to look at her again when she left. glanced at her.

On Mulan's side, he followed Nishiriel through several banquet halls and palaces in a row. There were fewer and fewer guests around, and the noise of the banquet behind him became weaker and weaker. Slowly, I can only occasionally see the palace guards on the corridor.

The Queen didn't speak the whole time, and in the face of the Queen, Mulan naturally couldn't be casual, and followed quietly.

"Master Jones is still used to court banquets? Have you made a lot of friends? For example, the beautiful noble girl just now."

The queen suddenly turned around and asked with a smile.

Mulan immediately replied with a solemn expression.

"My servant is from a small noble family in a remote area, and I know that their goodwill is just a bargaining chip to measure the value of things, but my servant is willing to die for Her Majesty the Queen and naturally integrate into this class. You must know the nobles on each side, understand their preferences, and weakness!"

Nishiriel stopped and turned around, Mulan quickly stopped and stood up straight.

With a sincere smile on her face, the Queen reached out and patted off the little food residue left on Mulan's shoulder.

"Today I want you to relax and enjoy yourself."

"Your servant obeys!"

Mulan bowed her head slightly, then followed the queen who had turned around and started again, and continued to walk forward. Finally, they reached an upstairs room with double red doors.

The two guards pushed the door open, and Nishiriel took Mulan into the interior. Mulan looked inside. There were two Archbishops of the Holy Church, one of whom was Aiwen's teacher, and he walked in with the Queen casually.

"You should know both archbishops. They have news to tell you."

The two archbishops had already saluted the queen at this moment, and Nisshiriel also returned the salute with the church etiquette, and Mulan also saluted the two archbishops together.

"Here comes Lord Jones, tell me, what's the matter."

The two archbishops glanced at each other, and then Ai Wen's teacher stepped forward.

"Your Excellency Jones, I just received the news. It is with grief that I tell you with great sadness that something happened to Ai Wen!"

"What? What happened to Ai Wen? Is he injured?"

Mulan took a step forward nervously, and the expression on the Archbishop's face was very painful.

"The news came from the Holy Mountain that Ai Wen and the four priests who were baptized in the same batch were attacked by cultists outside the Holy Land. All of them are missing. We have found three bodies one after another. The letter he sent back earlier"

Mulan's pupils were dilated, an expression of disbelief appeared on her face, and after a few seconds of absent-mindedness, her fists clenched as her knuckles cracked.
