The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Chapter 386 Historic Moment

Ten days passed like a flash, and in the blink of an eye it was the day of the Pope's coronation.

Li learned that he had been in a trance for so long. He couldn't believe it, but he had to believe it.

Holding the teleportation staff named Hollow Voice in his hand, Li looked calm on the outside, but his mind was filled with thoughts.

Since being awakened by Lei and regaining consciousness, Li found that his impressions of the haze were becoming increasingly blurred.

At first he could barely remember that he saw Lilith in the dream world, and there seemed to be something else, but he couldn't remember it.

Now, as Li stays awake longer and longer, his memory of that strange experience becomes increasingly vague.

Li felt that in a day or two, he would even forget that when he obtained the teleportation staff, his consciousness was taken away to a strange space.

Li stared at the hollow sound in his hand in a daze. When Li was in the dream world, he didn't pay attention to the name of this staff. Now looking at it, there is always a strange meaning.

"The sound of the hollow cave. Sounds can be heard in the empty cave. By extension, it may refer to the information about the past and the future being transmitted in the space-time tunnel?"

Li was silently pondering the teleportation staff in his hand when he heard faint cheers coming from far above.

It can penetrate such a deep layer of soil and transmit the sound underground, which shows how lively the crowds are in the city above.

"Is the coronation ceremony about to begin..."

Ever since the temple announced the coronation of a new leader ten days ago, people in the royal capital have been celebrating joyfully.

Stores were offering discounts, bread prices were reduced, and even nobles like Zhou Baopi were giving out large rewards to their servants, which was rare.

The whole city was immersed in a cheerful atmosphere, with colorful ribbons hanging on the streets and a large number of minstrels and clowns performing acrobatics and singing and dancing on the roadside.

"How long has it been since the capital was so lively?"

"Father, the last time I saw something like this was when you ascended the throne..."

The king stood on the platform, watching the celebration in the city with satisfaction.

Prince Leon, who was standing next to him, was nervous and wanted to say something.

"My dear son, today is a day worth celebrating. Don't look so sad."

"Father, I don't see why this is worth celebrating."

Leon turned around and saw all the officers of the Royal Army who were loyal to the king standing respectfully behind him.

These officers were dressed in armor and holding sharp weapons in their hands, all dressed as if they were going to the battlefield.

If the generals had worn ceremonial armor and held ceremonial vessels, Leon could have convinced himself that they were supporting the king.

But the current situation seems to indicate that a war is about to break out.

Seeing that Leon was doubting his life, the king thought he was very funny.

"Son, you have to know that nothing can go smoothly. The early stage of the Pope's coronation went smoothly, which means that the situation may be worse in the future."

The king looked at the peaceful capital, but his heart was already on high alert.

The king knew that what happened today would not satisfy everyone.

The king serving as pope seemed to centralize power in the kingdom, but some people were on the losing side in this change.

The clergy of the temple chose to support the king because the king promised to forgive their mistakes and give the clergy the rights of the nobility.

In this way, a large piece of the cake that originally belonged to the nobles was cut off.

"The nobles of the kingdom certainly don't want to see the temple secularized, but they didn't raise any objections, which shows..."

This shows that the nobles are probably planning something big, something that will be enough to completely eliminate the king and the temple.

"Father! You knew there would be danger, so why did you still hold the ceremony?"

According to Leon's thinking, if you know someone is going to threaten you, you should be careful.

Hiding is the best option. Today's coronation ceremony can be held only inside the temple.

It would be enough for the king to be crowned with the bishops watching. Holding a ceremony in front of the masses is completely unnecessary!

"Leon, you are always inferior to Li in this regard."

The old king shook his head helplessly. Leon's character had improved a lot now, but his vision and thinking were still at a very superficial level.

"Leon, you must remember that the future of the kingdom does not lie in big men or in faith. The future of the kingdom lies in everyone, everyone who lives in the kingdom! You are the king only if the people support you and trust you. If your actions are against the people, then you are not the king. At most, you are a bandit leader!"

Leon didn't expect to hear such a description of the bandit leader from his father.

This description is really...

It’s hard to comment!

"Your Majesty...Your Holiness the Pope! The ceremony will begin in two and a half hours!"

"Very good. Today, I'll leave everything to you!"

The king greeted his loyal generals, and the generals collectively beat their chests in response.

"Long live the King! Long live the Pope!"

The generals' loud shouts could be heard from far away, and all the servants in the palace looked towards the tower in surprise.

The attendants didn't know what exactly happened, but they understood that today was a historic day.

Everyone was preparing for the ceremony that was about to begin, and the servants were busy running around the palace.

The generals took their subordinates to the designated locations in advance to prepare for possible conflicts.

At the same time, on the busy streets, some people who were dressed very ordinary but with bulging clothes were quietly appearing everywhere in the streets.

Every time they passed an intersection, they would check the situation carefully.

These people also gestured to each other from time to time and moved closer to the key locations of the king's pilgrimage.

The nobles hiding in the dark are also acting quietly.

The nobles had noticed the changes in the kingdom as early as the death of the previous archbishop.

They communicated and united through parties and dances. Now that the nobles were united, they wanted to use their actions to safeguard the status that the nobles deserved.

"Our great king has never taken us seriously from the beginning. Since they don't consider us, we will consider ourselves!"

"The glory of the nobility lies in the blood and sweat we have paid for the kingdom. The king wants to erase our past achievements. This is not allowed!"

A large number of knights rushed out from the nobles' manors and headed towards the center of the royal capital, intending to leave their sword marks at this historic moment.

The wind rises and the clouds surge, the wind moves with the clouds.

In the tide of the times, everyone has his or her own considerations and goals.

In two and a half hours, the royal capital will become the center of the storm.
