Chapter 674 The first human cardinal!
Aiwass turned around and looked at the blonde woman who looked fashionable and wore a bold red miniskirt.
Judging from her clothes, she seems to be a reporter from the Iris Kingdom.
He nodded and said, "Of course."
As Aiwass's clear young voice fell, the surroundings suddenly became silent for a moment.
Because this means that Aiwass publicly acknowledged his identity as a "Cardinal"!
If it was just that "the style looks like a cardinal's clothes", it could be passed off as a joke or performance art...but his current statement that he is a cardinal, there is absolutely no other way to interpret it!
No one dares to tell such a lie in the Theocracy.
Although elves are gentle, they are more extreme and radical in such matters.
Then, everyone present realized one thing at the same time:
——The first human cardinal in history was born!
No, to be more precise...
The first short-lived cardinal in history was born!
Even the female reporter herself subconsciously held her breath!
Seeing them in a daze, Aiwass kindly reminded them, "Do you still want to take pictures? A group photo is also fine.
"I'm going to the 21st ring... There's still plenty of time on the elevator."
“——I want it!”
The blonde, blue-eyed reporter finally came to her senses.
She nodded repeatedly in great excitement—she subconsciously wanted to hug Aiwass, but realized her offense as soon as she took a step; then she instinctively wanted to shake Aiwass's hand, but realized she couldn't do it as soon as she raised her hand. This made her look as funny as if she was doing an awkward dance of excitement.
The Cardinals are pure, mysterious and powerful, and are the closest people in this world to the Ennead.
This kind of etiquette may be fine for wealthy businessmen or high-ranking government officials, but it is still offensive to a cardinal!
But seeing her helpless look, Aiwass smiled and reached out his hand, gently pinching the first two knuckles of the reporter's right middle finger and index finger as a courtesy handshake.
The reporter quickly came over, directing the camera crew behind her to deploy the equipment on the platform. She then took a photo of herself and Aiwass—she flashed what was arguably the sweetest and most humble smile of her life. Even when she took a photo with the Speaker of Iris, she hadn't been so enthusiastic.
Because there were so many priests in the elevator, there was no need to burn magnesium powder. Some kind-hearted priests directly used lighting magic to provide light... Of course, this was also because burning magnesium powder might cause some danger.
The quality of the teaching public is quite high. It wasn't until the reporter finished taking the photo that other requests for photos started coming in.
"Your Excellency, Cardinal, I'd like to take a picture with you too... I have a photo stone, it only takes a moment!"
"Sir, please! I am a very devout Christian..."
"Your Excellency, Cardinal, I am also human! I have been working in the Third Circle of the Theocracy for over thirty years..."
Aiwass was surrounded almost instantly.
But their respect and fear for the Cardinal still kept them at a distance from Aiwass.
——Are you kidding? This is the cardinal of the Theocracy!
Undoubtedly one of the strongest people in the world, and also one of the most powerful people! Their organization is the most powerful Nine Pillars Church, and they are far more powerful than the kings of small countries!
But even the smallest king would never allow them to approach him casually. Even if he took a photo with them, he would never allow them to use it at will.
However, cardinals are all good people without exception...
If you have the opportunity to take a photo with someone, it can undoubtedly be framed and passed down as a family heirloom!
Even just this one photo may make those who try to bully their descendants feel hesitant and timid; those who originally looked down on them will now feel fear; opportunities that did not exist before will come like rain... All of this can be achieved with just this one photo, without any lies or exaggerations!
Not to mention the truly devout and devoted—this was the first short-lived cardinal in history. Although I didn't know him, he must have done something remarkable and dedicated! That's why His Holiness the Pope specifically set an unprecedented precedent for him!
And Aiwass just looked at Isabel who was smiling in the crowd helplessly, then signaled them to be quiet and patiently took photos with everyone.
Those who easily got their photos taken worshiped Aiwass almost devoutly.
Fortunately, after Aiwass ordered them to be quiet, they instantly quieted down, and the commotion didn't spread. The news of the new cardinal's arrival also remained secret. The small group of people surrounding them quickly took photos with Cardinal Aiwass.
At this moment, the female reporter from Iris finally spoke: "Cardinal...were you born in the Theocracy?"
She was very sensible and considerate. She waited until everyone had taken their photo before interviewing Aiwass.
Her way of asking questions was also very clever - she didn't directly ask whether Aiwass was a pure-blooded human or which country he was from, but instead took a roundabout way.
"My name is Aiwass."
Aiwass naturally understood what she said and responded with a smile: "Aiwass Moriarty. I am from Avalon."
"Moriarty... Aiwass Moriarty..."
The reporter muttered this rare surname, and then her expression gradually changed. "Could it be that you are... the new Minister without Portfolio in Avalon?"
Her qualities as an excellent journalist immediately made her think of the big news that happened not long ago.
Although she was not a reporter responsible for Avalon, she would at least take a look at this kind of international news and remember it well.
She had long memorized the name of Aiwass Moriarty, and even remembered his appearance. However, the Cardinal's clothing was so striking that when she realized who Aiwass was, she didn't dare raise her head to look at his face... She believed that others were the same.
"Yes, it's me."
Aiwass nodded patiently.
As he spoke, he casually pulled Isabel over from the crowd and said, "And this is the new Queen of Avalon. She is my fiancée.
"We are here to watch the ceremony—you can publish what I say."
Isabel, who was suddenly caught, widened her eyes speechlessly.
——How am I going to explain to anyone why I suddenly appeared in the Theocracy?
Aiwass smiled and responded: I don’t care.
"... Cardinal," the reporter realized that a piece of news that could change her life was just around the corner, so she softened her tone, almost pleading, "Could you please take a photo with Her Majesty the Queen?"
"certainly."
Aiwass smiled gently and nodded, saying, "Please."
