The numerous Red-robed Cardinals took their seats. As the director of the Divine Arts Research Institute, Bishop Martin, accompanied by two priests, approached Richard.
All three held a box in their hands. With a sweep of his spiritual power, Richard saw that these boxes contained, respectively, a prayer amulet, a small divine statue, and a wooden staff used by priests.
"My Lord, we have completed your oracle."
Martin reverently held the box he was carrying to his front, speaking with utmost sincerity. Beside him, the two accompanying priests maintained the same posture.
With a wave of his hand, Richard opened all three boxes with an invisible force, allowing the items to slowly ascend into the air so that all the bishops present could clearly see them.
"Martin, there's no need for so much ceremony at this moment. Please introduce your achievements to everyone," Richard said with a smile.
"As you command, My Lord."
