Gray had been "rolling a snowball," and when the Holy Father arrived at Lion King City, this "snowball" had already reached an earth-shattering level.
In the afternoon, the blue sky, white clouds, and the wind blew gently, making the silver moon flag with golden edges and a cross flutter in the wind.
Gray stood with everyone at the north entrance of Lion King City awaiting. This included Yilin, Shelley, Count Gruglu, Benedict II, Bob, Camilla, Abi Robbs, all of Yilin’s notable subordinates, and the entire Silver Moon Knight Order. Accompanying them was a huge crowd of onlookers and countless diplomatic missions, including Banette III.
The flags fluttering in the wind represented all the most powerful families on the continent.
Everyone was waiting quietly.

In a small alley not far from Pearce Cathedral, Morca pressed his back tightly against the wall. On the other side of the wall was a fireplace, a bit of warmth in the cold winter made him feel quite comfortable. However, that fireplace seemed extinguished, and the temperature was gradually disappearing, which made him feel helpless.
"Shouldn’t we go take a look? They said the Holy Father has arrived, and everyone is going to see him." Pao Pao stretched his neck toward the street.
"No. What’s the point in seeing him? What does it have to do with us?" Morca shook his head, "Besides, if we go, who will watch the books?"
Pao Pao glanced up at the makeshift canopy overhead, "I don’t think anyone would steal the books. We’ve been selling for days and haven’t sold a single one."
Although Morca was homeless, he was not utterly penniless. After all, he had lost his house, but the things inside were still intact.
