Chapter 324 parenting

Since the official delegation of powers, everyone in the Jiaoguo Guanghui Academy has tacitly agreed not to disturb Laurent’s final cleaning, and the requirements of Maojing should also be met, and there will no longer be a certain degree of restriction as before.

The Pope’s Tower without interruptions has ushered in peace that has been rare for decades, and people are surprised to find that after Laurent’s long-term reform and governance, the Church can still run smoothly even if it no longer relies on his guidance.

The cold wind is gradually rising, and the last trace of the autumn heat has disappeared with the wind.

Laurent suddenly announced the summons of all members of the Radiance Institute.

Suddenly, even Mao Jing was stunned for a while before hurriedly conveying it in person.

Everyone who had not set foot in the Pope’s Tower for a long time saw that Laurent was lying on the bed as usual, and there was no sign of serious illness, and their expressions were calm and relieved.

Many major events happen unexpectedly in a peaceful atmosphere.

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

Not the slightest sign.

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

“Fairy Wood”

Inquisition Archbishop Antonio’s eyes widened, and he looked at Laurent in disbelief with his white hair and beard, completely unaware how rude his actions were.

Antonio, sixty-eight years old, is the oldest and the oldest in the Radiance Academy composed of the archbishop and the high priest at a time when Laurent is vigorously promoting new people.

Like most of the people who became a member of the Radiance Academy, Antonio was helped by Laurent 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 to obtain the honor of the Radiance Academy. tickets.

Laurent once commented on Antonio with Lu Yu. This is a person who is aggressive and embarrassing, and who lives up to expectations.

People who reach Antonio’s age tend to be afraid of change, so they do everything they can to stabilize the situation.

Frankly speaking, even if not compared with Serra, Antonio still has some shortcomings compared to other people in the Radiance Academy. Within the Holy Nation, almost no one is optimistic about Antonio.

Laurent’s eyes swept over everyone present, silently emphasizing his unquestionable will.

It was not yet time for the coronation, but David the good man stood up and embraced Antonio.

Antonio, who was still in shock, sluggishly accepted the mixed feelings of his companions and bowed to him.

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

Laurent seemed to know what Antonio wanted to say. He interrupted the other party’s brewing words without hesitation, and asked the members of the Guanghui Academy to retreat outside the tower and wait.

At this time, Antonio could no longer care about Lu Yu and others watching in the room. He excitedly grabbed the ground with his head, weeping, and choked up: “Sir Pope…I don’t have the ability to match…”

This is perhaps the most miraculous sight in the history of the Four Great Powers, being confirmed as the next Pope, the gray-haired Antonio weeps like a child and doesn’t care about the image at all.

“I can’t lead the church to go further… You once criticized me for being conservative and closed, and you taught me that I should be open-minded… I tried to correct, but I am old after all… How can I be qualified to succeed you, who is not favored by the gods…”

It wasn’t the pretense of the ministers refusing to accept the truth when they entered the remonstrance. Antonio walked to the hospital bed on his knees, held Laurent’s dry pleated hand, and pressed his forehead, crying uncontrollably.

He is afraid.

Afraid of what Laurent entrusts to be inhuman, afraid of his inability to make the teaching nation better, and afraid that his own shortcomings will lead to the decline of the teaching nation in his own hands…

The majestic Inquisition Archbishop is already a tearful man.

Laurent touched the old boy’s head and said seriously: “It is true that you have many shortcomings…but you have shown a sense of responsibility as a pope at this moment.”

“Sir Pope…” Antonio was still reluctant to raise his head and look at Laurent.

“Don’t cry… You were injured while practicing swordsmanship when you were young. The nuns helped bandage and still kept silent. Why are you crying so much when you are old… Old age has enriched your feelings a lot.” Laurent teased.

“Antonio, please remember what I say next.”

“Look up and look at me!”

Laurent’s stern voice made Antonio raise his head like a conditioned reflex.

“You have chosen prudently and conservatively as the Pope. You are by no means no one else to choose from. You are the best candidate for the Pope in the next four years.”

Wiping away his tears, Antonio captured the special number in the words: “Four years?”

“Whether you believe it or not, I did hear a strange voice in my dream… The voice told me that a turmoil is coming, and only a cautious helmsman can protect the teaching nation from the storm.”

Laurent said, “Antonio, you are indeed not the most suitable candidate for the Pope. In any way, you are far inferior to the members of the Radiance Academy. But the turmoil is coming, and the Church needs your conservativeness and caution, and you need to be serious. Make the best decision by weighing the pros and cons of each choice.”

“In the next four years, you will be the best pope in the Holy Nation, no one.”

Laurent looked at the head of the glorious incarnation, who also did not exit the room. The will of the priesthood, who covered himself in a silver-white robe and a black veil, walked towards Antonio with a photo scroll.

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

“There is a Pope who is the most suitable for the Holy Nation after the turmoil is over, and you will need to help him at that time.”

Antonio, who fully understood Laurent’s intentions, swore to the God of Radiance, promising that he would ensure a smooth transfer of power and fulfill the responsibility of a transitional pope.

…

…

The members of the Guanghui Academy left under the leadership of Antonio. Although everyone was puzzled, they still quickly adapted to Antonio’s identity change.

In the garden of the Pope’s Tower, which was quiet again, the elemental wind was shaped, and the cute little manta ray was attached to Laurent’s chair, transforming the chair into a flying chair that can float and move with the constantly circulating wind elements.

Although Laurent has always insisted on walking without the help of external forces, 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.

Laurent smiled, but said nothing.

“Why did you change your mind.”

Laurent turned his head, his eyes swept over Lu Lu, Lu Yu, and Wu Yao, and finally stopped on Mao Jing’s face—the demure she smiled gracefully.

“I don’t want you to be me.”

Laurent reached out and stroked Sera’s face lightly.

“This road… is too hard.”

These are not words spoken in the capacity of the Pope.

“It’s really too bitter, too bitter… I have tasted too much, how can I let you taste it too…”

“I still remember that day, when you stood in the middle of the chant class, others trembled when they saw my arrival, your voice was out of tune, only you, your voice was sweet, and your smiling face was like a sunflower blooming facing the sun… see you When you come to me, you are neither humble nor arrogant, and you dare to ask me if there is a reward for singing well.”

“I didn’t bring anything with me when I was traveling. Do you still remember your expression… I was very upset, I felt that I deceived you… But I never lied, and I took you from the chant class that night.”

“You made everyone in the Pope’s Tower fall in love with you in just one day. You cheered for the cook who made a good table, volunteered to help the servants clean up, learned the craft from the gardener, and then ran excitedly. Show off before us…”

“The cold-faced nun in black smiled when she saw you, and the silent and serious Pope’s Knights warmly embraced you, handing over their cherished swords and helmets to you to play with…”

Piece by piece, piece by piece, Laurent gushed.

Attending the dinner of Prince Slagos Rafiel, because a Viscount slandered him behind his back, Sera took away the Viscount’s gloves with a smile and put the whiskers of the prawns in them…

Laurent laughed. He could still remember the panic, apprehension, and embarrassment on the man’s face after Sera deliberately stepped forward to dive. .

Eleven-year-old Sera accompanied him to the banquet of the Four Great Powers for the first time, and secretly used sugar glue to place the royal family of Kodzorn in the corner of the throne lake, and pretended to accidentally Poured the offerings and secretly hid one to take away and eat secretly.

Sera, who ate the offerings like a greedy cat, thought she was unaware, but she never thought that Laurent and Maojing were secretly watching.

Sera lowered her head, even shaking… The good memories in Laurent’s eyes are indeed her black history public execution!

After returning to the church, Sera hid in the church and ate the offerings bit by bit, seemingly awakening.

Laurent summed up her favorite flavors based on Sierra’s choices, and secretly had people replace a lot of offerings just to make her eat happily.

…

He remembered it so clearly that the details were vivid, and he remembered it with a happy face.

Sera was no longer ashamed, her eyes were red, and crystal tears were streaming down her face.

“If I hadn’t been the Pope, Mao Jing and I would have had quite a few children…”

“I want to hold them and read books to them in the basement; I want to make them small and delicate toys and hear them say ‘Dad is amazing’; I 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 mother’s scales and was chased and killed by her angrily…”

“I don’t want to be the Pope… But they chose me, and the Holy Nation chose me… The gods out of nowhere also chose me.”

“Sierra…I have always treated you as my own child…”

“I know…” Sera lowered her head, tears dripping off the thread.

“I want my children to be happy, not to suffer… that’s what being a parent is like.” Laurent said, “You have a group of very good friends, and you have a love you want to chase… Be bold and chase… Don’t be swayed by the state, Bound by blood, you are far freer than we are.”
