The time has entered the last month of the year. The grand funeral in Yunzhongcheng was officially held with the new pope in his seat.

According to the ritual rules of the Great Church, the funerals of high-ranking clergy are called the ritual of the Holy clergy. If the funeral of the Pope should be supported by the successor. However, after the Qiming War, in the more than 1,200 years of the glorious era, a retired pope appeared in Yunzhong City, but never had such a pope who died in office. Therefore, in order to make Yas Brencht III go down with peace of mind, the Great Church simplified the election ceremony of the pope during this period. The pope election, which had been nearly a year, ended in just one month.

The new Pope of the Great Church was the supreme priest of the Goddess of Glory and the cardinal of the Auckland Diocese of the Great Church, Anthony Saint Delavo. However, considering that he is a human being and a 90-year-old man, anyone with a discerning eye knows that he is destined to be a temporary transitional figure. He himself is actually quite clear about this. As for the candidate for successor, he should be a cardinal who is a young and powerful one? Of course, it is not impossible for the future organizational structure of the Great Church to be directly born from the priests with swords and the Knights of the Holy Church to be born in wartime. Such a precedent has not happened before.

However, no matter what, the old man's plan to retire was of course ruined. As we all know, the period of peace and stability of the Pope like Yas Brencht did for three hundred years, and it was indeed over.

This solemn funeral began on Friday, December 8, 1226. The servants of Pope Yas Brencht III had tidied up the remains of the pope for the last time, and then covered a white silk scarf on the face of the pope. Then, slowly closed the coffin.

According to the will arrangement left by the Pope, the coffin is a very ordinary wooden material, and the burial is only used for some small objects she has used in front of her, which is not expensive. However, although the gift of the coffin for the burial is so simple, it can only control herself. Just as Orusero said, many times, funerals full of solemn and solemn rituals are not for the sake of death, but for people to see it.

After all, we live in this world, and it is really not easy to be too independent.

Therefore, before the funeral officially began, countless people had already gathered in the entire Yunzhong Square, including monk soldiers who had already been ready to maintain order, clergymen who were the background board of the ritual, and a large number of participants from all countries. Of course, there were also tens of thousands of people who came spontaneously. In the solemn atmosphere, sadness and tragic emotions were brewing. The three hundred years of the reign of the female Pope Yas Brencht III was a relatively stable and peaceful period. She did not lead the nations to repel large-scale invasions of evil spirits, nor could she leave behind new rules and regulations, theological understanding, or philosophical thinking "scholar type". Of course, she did not develop any new divine techniques. Relatively speaking, she seemed to be a relatively mediocre pope.

However, before the start of the term of the female pope, the Great Church had a period of stability and development for nearly a thousand years. We all know that this period is often the most likely period of corruption and depravity, which is something that all organizations cannot avoid. Therefore, when Yas Brencht III ascended the throne, he was actually facing a large organization that had already brewed a rotten smell. Bishops and priests who were ruthless like secular aristocrats, increasingly vulgarized seminary, became orphanages and nurseries in slavery. Although the above are not mainstream, they do exist and have fatally affected the reputation of the Great Church.

As a result, the organizational reforms of the female Pope Brencht III were brought to power. During her term, the pustules that began to smell smelled were completely squeezed out, and all illegal acts in the name of God were effectively punished. The subsequent work of the Great Hall was even more responsible for the mediation of war between the international community, the maintenance of public security, poverty alleviation and teaching support in remote areas, etc.

It can be said that the image of the Interpol and Guangwei of the Red Cross was established in the era of Yas Brencht III.

She looked like a "mediocre and nothing great" pope, but in fact, when she really left, so many people were deeply remembering her. This can be seen from the fact that there were so many ordinary people who spontaneously arrived at Yunzhongcheng without going through the organization.

The funeral officially began at nine o'clock in the morning. The simple wooden coffin used according to the wishes of the pope was carried by twelve high priests to the high altar in the square in front of St. Issus Cathedral in the Cloud City. That place was higher than all the people gathered in the square, and it was also to show respect for the deceased.

Then, led by the new Pope Anthony Saint-de Lavo, who later became known as "Anthony Calvi II", religious leaders entered the square one by one, which also represented the most important part of the funeral, the beginning of the ritual of the Session.

The Mass of Ansaud was presided over by the representative of the Cardinals, the Supreme Priest of the Goddess of the Underworld, Ms. Columlan, and was assisted by other cardinals and leaders from other branches of the sects. The funeral ceremony of the high clergy was presided over by the priests of the Goddess of the Underworld, which was also the system of rules and regulations of the Great Hall. However, this time the deceased was a papal after all, and of course the Cardinal should be presided over by the Cardinals himself.

When the ceremony began, the singing of the church became the hymn "Let His Glory be with the Holy Spirits" sung by all members of the St. Grit's choir. This is also the first of the 84 Psalms of Ansho, and it is also the chapter that will only be used after the death of the Pope.

In addition, even the Cardinals and even the kings of the nations were not allowed to use the first chant (of course, if a civilized country like Auckland had its own set of ritual systems that were unique to the emperor’s supreme).

This is also impossible. We have already discussed this issue. The larger the organization, the more we pay attention to a complete and systematic set of etiquette models. In a sense, etiquette is actually synonymous with order. Regardless of what Pope Yas Brencht III himself thought, the ceremony of her last time as the pope showed her face in front of the public was not something she could master.

The singing group of 500 people is all young people with magical attainments and high-pitched and clear voices. Under their interpretation, the sad singing is full of solemn and solemn sacredness. Purely from the perspective of pure music, this is of course the top level. Everyone who listens to the singing does feel sad, but more of it is a great man who starts with glory and ends with glory.

So, when the singing stopped, Cardinal Columland, who was the ritualist, read the prayer. Later, representatives of different people attending the funeral would also read different chapters in the Book of the Holy Book as commemoration, including verses 14, verses 31-40 of the Book of the Saints, verses 2, verses 2, verses 2, verses 2, verses 2, verses 2, verses 45 of the Gospel of the Sky, verses 15-19 of the Book of Exodus, and verses 4 of the Book of Exodus.

Pope Brencht is the last Gerza "Ghost Clan" person, or a mixed race between the Gerza people and the Titans. This is a secret that only the senior officials of the Great Hall and a few relatives and friends know. In a sense, these commemorative selections are also a recognition of her bloodline and race, and a commemoration, right?

Those who read these commemorative chapters are not only religious leaders and political representatives of various countries, but also her personal friends, including many civilians. In fact, like Oruserello, the female pope is also a person who makes friends all over the world.

For example, an ordinary bakery uncle who opened a shop in the lower city of Yunzhongcheng. Just because the baked sweet bread was quite in line with the taste of the pope, she often came to buy it in condom, and became a friend who could talk about everything. Before Yas passed away, the ordinary baker didn't even know that it was Pope himself for convenience. However, when he was reading "The Walk of the Earth" in a jerky and hoarse tone, the uncle choked up several times. Everyone present knew that he was not sad because the pope left, but because a friend left.

Then, the final farewell ceremony was the successor Anthony Saint de Lavo, that is, Pope Anthony Calvi II, walked to Guangcai's side and began to pray for the souls of the deceased. Of course, what many people saw was that the old pope closed his eyes and whispered, but did not know what he was saying.

"I came to submit your resignation to you, and you said wait. But I really didn't expect that what I waited for would be a reasonable farewell! There are so many old friends to say goodbye this year. You all left, one after another, but only I, the old man, are surviving... What should the Great Hall in the future be like?"

"I know, you actually want to be buried with Oruserello... But please don't worry, your long hair, your diary, and the portraits you painted for him have all disappeared from the sky with Oruserello's body. You are not a person who cares too much, so it should be enough, right? Anyway, when you come to the sky, your souls will definitely meet, and at that time there is a lot of time."

"Your two disciples, well, I know you have never been worried about them, but you really don't have to worry about them. They have always been so outstanding. After that, one will go to St. Elena Cathedral in the Parish of Seredier and serve as an assistant to Kells; the other one will join the Sword Priests Group and serve as the second chief... They are all very outstanding. If they grow up, they can bear the future of the Great Hall. Well, in order to let them take over naturally, it seems that my old bones should still support me for a few more years, right? Ha, if it were the kid who stayed by Orusello, such a transition period might not be needed at all, right? Ha, Yaxi, I'm not offending you, but there is actually a distinction between genius and genius."

"Yes, you have been very tired over the past three hundred years. You didn't think about getting into this position, but between dreams and responsibilities, you finally chose the latter. You did a great job and no one can deny this. Now, have a good rest! I will stick to it, and at least I will definitely survive this troublesome autumn. You, you must wait for me in the Kingdom of Heaven for a few more years."

The old Pope was like a nagging old man, talking to the friend in the coffin who would never respond to him again, until the pope's servant priest walked behind him and reminded him with a slight footstep.

Like all the old men, the old pope let out a sigh of remembrance and slowly stood up. In the choir's subsequent singing, he would sprinkle holy water into the coffin of the deceased Del's friend and offer incense. Of course, this was the last step of the ceremony. After that, the church leaders and representatives who participated in the ceremony would line up to leave, and the coffin under Yas Brencht III would also be sent to the catacombs in the Yunzhong City Square for burial, and to sleep with all the popes of all the dynasties.
