558 Temple Opening Day
Without the interference of the Zoroastrians, Dolroll was able to build the temple quite quickly, even four days ahead of schedule. The original scheduled plan would take time, but Beta already felt that it was too fast, and she didn't expect it to be even faster.
What's more, the temple was built of good quality, all the stones were of the highest quality, and Beta was very satisfied when he accepted it, and couldn't help but give an extra twenty gold coins for the final payment.
Dol Roll naturally smiled happily.
In the temple, the statue of the goddess Wolkin has been erected, although the carving is slightly flawed, but in terms of temperament, it is already eight points godlike, and Beta looks quite satisfied.
The next day was the 'opening' day of the temple, and there was a ritual of inviting the gods, and Beta and Harry discussed it and decided that the latter would perform the ceremony, and they discussed the specific steps overnight, but in fact, Beta unilaterally taught Harry the ritual prayers.
The next morning, the door of the temple was opened, and the stone chairs in the main hall were full of people, most of whom were nobles, and some were wealthy merchants. The civilians, on the other hand, watched outside the gate and joined in the excitement.
Naturally, Pete came, and he sat on the benches in the first row, and now that he was a professional, in the eyes of the aristocracy, he was already qualified to sit with people of his level.
The temple was noisy with people, a bit of a market, and most of them hated the statue of Waukin.
"The goddess of fortune is so beautiful? I'm not wrong to believe in her, and I don't seem to be at a loss. ”
"Will believing in her guarantee our fortunes?"
"Why don't other goddesses let the world know what she looks like, but she doesn't care?"
Similar discussions have been endless...... Beta was in the prayer room at the back, and she could hear it clearly. He was very satisfied with this, it seemed that there was no problem with this decision, and sure enough, those nobles paid more attention to the Wojin Divine Cult, and when the matter spread in the future, when others mentioned each other in the Divine Cult, their first reaction must be: The goddess Wojin is the most beautiful, and then the goddess is the most capable of fighting and so on.
Harry, who was sitting opposite, asked curiously, "I heard that those craftsmen carved the statue of the goddess that you painted, beta parishioners, have you ever seen a goddess?" ”
Beta nodded, it wasn't a secret thing.
Harry groaned, but he was a little surprised. Generally speaking, goddesses disdain to communicate with mortals, even if they are their own believers, it is quite amazing to be able to respond to a sentence or two occasionally, but Beta has 'seen' the goddess, and she has drawn it so well, presumably it is not once or twice at all.
Could it be that the Beta are holy ones?
While Harry was pondering this, the time was quickly up, and at Beta's reminder, the two came out of the prayer room and came to the statue of the goddess.
Seeing the two of them, everyone closed their mouths and looked at them quietly.
Because the ceremony was presided over by Harry, this time the opening day of the temple was presided over by Harry.
Harry looked around, although it was the first time he had presided over such an occasion, and it was also the first time he had faced so many nobles and wealthy businessmen, but because he was already a LV5 professional, he was not nervous at all.
"Welcome to the opening day of our church, as well as to all your friends. Here, we reiterate two points, first, that our Temple of Wealth will always shelter the people of the Northland from the cold, and second, that we do not charge any fire tax, nor do we collect any taxes, and we do not force donations from anyone, we do not need anything. ”
"We will never consider anyone a heretic, because in the eyes of our goddess, people all over the world should love each other, whether you believe in her or not. Even if you believe in an evil god, as long as you change your ways, you can still come to our church to pray and receive the blessings of the goddess. ”
As soon as these words came out, all the nobles were whispering.
One couldn't help but ask, "Then how do you make money...... In any case, the temple personnel need money to eat, drink, and Lazar. ”
"There will be Beta, who is also the current local archbishop, to talk to you about this." Harry took a deep breath, "Now, it's time for us to bring in the goddess Waukin, and we are going to ask the goddess so that her eyes will always be on this place. ”
After speaking, Harry turned around, knelt down on one knee, stroked his forehead with his left hand, and reverently recited the ritual prayer.
His voice was not loud, but it filled the whole church, and there seemed to be a strange power in his voice, as if it could penetrate time and space and reach places beyond the reach of humans.
As the prayer unfolded, the people sitting in the church felt themselves noticed by a strange force. This power is very gentle, does not make people feel any pressure, and even makes people feel a little warm.
By the time Harry had finished the prayer, the power was so evident that one felt comfortable soaking in the warm spring water. Then a golden light from the sky passed through the top of the church and poured directly into the statue of the goddess, and then the statue of the goddess seemed to come to life, and her eyes glowed with a rich golden light.
Harry stood up, as a priest, he could already feel the presence of the goddess, he could feel that the goddess had projected good power.
However, he always had a feeling that after the Goddess Waukin's divine thought came, he seemed to have been staring at the beta parishioners beside him, and he didn't know if it was an illusion.
Wokin left a thought at the idol here, and then left. The feeling of warmth gradually dissipated, and all those affected felt a sense of loss, and they did not want to lose this warm comfort.
Seem...... Believing in the goddess of wealth is also a good thing.
Many people had such thoughts on the spot.
Harry stepped aside, and Beta stood behind the prayer table. He cleared his throat and said, "My name is Beta, and a lot of people know me, so I won't talk much about introducing myself." Now, it is time for me to fulfill my promise, some time ago, I made a donation, and I am willing to spend another hundred gold coins for gold sacrifices, Your Excellency, please come up with your gold coins. ”
Seven pot-bellied nobles, each dragging a large box, walked up.
Beta sacrificed gold coins to them one by one in chronological order of donation. One by one, the fat people were shrouded in a golden magic array, and after a few seconds, they came out, not only did they become thinner and have muscles, but they were also obviously at least twenty years younger. The six middle-aged nobles directly changed back to the appearance of their youth, while the last old nobleman changed back to the appearance of a middle-aged person.
Open personal career ability, and actually increase lifespan?
The nobles, especially the female nobles, who had watched the gold coin sacrifice throughout the whole process, looked at Beta, and their eyes gradually became crazy.
