Rubin Soult whistled and beckoned to stop a cab. Grofa followed him into the carriage and rode north along the street, and in a short time he saw a castle-like building standing on the high ground at the end of the street, like a mighty giant with his hands on his hips overlooking the lights at his feet.

"The property...... It's clearly a fortress. Colossa couldn't help but marvel.

"Rudolph also lives here, and it should be said that it is more like a royal palace." Rubin got out of the car and walked side by side with Colossa on the avenue leading to the door of the inn.

The pavement is paved with smooth stone slabs that are smooth enough to serve as mirrors, and long armchairs are placed in the shade of trees on both sides of the road for walkers to sit and rest. Grofa noticed that there was also a bulletin board on the side of the road, with large notices posted on it, one of which was the announcement that the government of Kolas would hold a celebration of the independence of the Far East on October 1, and the other was that the temple of Pero would be converted into the temple of Sindra on the same day.

The first message was already known to Glofa, but the second was a little fresh, and he stopped to look at the notice carefully, his eyebrows gradually raised, and his eyes flashed with a strange brilliance.

Rubin also looked at it curiously, but he frowned, and mocked in a low voice while watching: "The Kolas father and son rebelled under the banner of Sindra, and it is not surprising that the Temple of Pero will be transformed into the Temple of Sindra after the rebellion is successful, but is it really necessary to make such a big show?" Look at what it says, 'His Highness Roland Koras, the chosen person of the goddess of fate, has been enlightened, prophesied that on the first day of October, when Sindra replaces Perot as the master of the temple, the entire capital will be blessed by divine power and perform an unprecedented sanctification ceremony, and henceforth the temple will become the holy place of the church of Sindra, and anyone who enters the temple and converts to the goddess of fate with devout devotion will be blessed by divine power, cleanse themselves of heresy, and ascend to Sindra's kingdom of eternal happiness after death...... It's just going crazy! ”

"Rubin, don't jump to conclusions, what the bulletin says may be true." Grofa pondered for a few seconds before adding, "If Roland Khoras can indeed perform the 'sanctification ceremony' in the Citapurity, with his status as a powerful divine power elect, and the blessing of the common wishes of millions of Sindra followers, it may be possible to perform a miracle and transform the temple where the ritual takes place into the eternal sanctuary of Sindra." ”

Rubin was stunned for a moment, then turned to his learned traveling companion and asked, "What is the 'sanctification ceremony'?" ”

"It is a grand religious ceremony that asks for a miracle, and the more favored the presiding officer is and the more believers participate, the more effective the ritual will be."

"The effect of this 'sanctification ceremony' is really as powerful as the announcement boasts, it can transform the entire temple into a holy place, and anyone who walks into the temple can be cleared of their sins by swearing an oath to worship Sindra and joining the Sindra Church?" Rubin was skeptical.

"That's roughly the case, but it's not unconditionally cleared of all charges, judging from the published information, the role of this sanctification ritual is limited to washing away the charges of 'heresy' imposed on the heads of the Far Easterners by the Holy See of Pero, so it seems a bit illusory, so let's take an example, for example, there is a Far Easterner standing in front of me, and if I illuminate the other party with the magic of detecting the camp, the other party will show a red evil aura, but he himself may not have done anything bad in his life, and he is a very kind person, why does he still show an evil aura? Because he was born from a bad background and is a descendant of heresy, according to the 'Decree of Original Sin of Heresy' issued by the Holy See of Pero, the descendants of heretics are also heretics, and the descendants of sinners are still sinners, so no matter how much good this person does, as long as he does not buy indulgences for a day, he will never be able to get rid of the crime of heresy, and he will show evil aura, and if he meets a holy warrior with a bad brain, he is likely to immediately draw his sword and cut him. ”

"What a ......," Rubin opened his mouth, forcibly not uttering his criticism of the Holy See, and changed the subject stiffly: "Has anyone successfully performed the sanctification ritual before?" ”

"Not only that, but it's not far from here, Parnia, have you heard of it?"

"Come on, I'm a diplomat, how can I not even know Parnia!" Rubin muttered a smutter, "I haven't been to Parnia, but at least I know that it's a land of half-vampires, and it's often clashing with the Order of Naraku over the Crystal Mine in the Twilight Valley. ”

"Do you know how the Parnia transformed from a vampire tribe to the half-vampire people they are today?" Grofa asked with a smile.

"I really don't know about this...... Rubin scratched his head in shame, "Well, I know that the Parnia were originally vampires, but why should the whole clan be transformed into half-vampires and lose the power of immortality, wouldn't it be a pity?" ”

"The so-called immortality of vampires is actually because they have long since died, like zombies and ghosts, and such immortality comes at the cost of not being able to have offspring." "Some vampires who are content to make derivatives, others who are eager to bear their own flesh and blood and enjoy the warmth of their families, gather under the banner of Vejes, the goddess of magic and death, and perform a grand 'sanctification ceremony' at the Cathedral of Vijeus in Parnia, whose prayers moved Vijees, and who sent down divine power to transform the church into a holy place, and from then on, any vampire who walked into that church could choose to transform into a half-vampire if they swore to convert to Vejees." ”

"I see...... Rubin turned to look at the crowd in front of the city gate, "no wonder so many people have come to the Fort of Atonement from all directions, the real purpose is to participate in the sanctification ceremony, no wonder the pedestrians on the road prayed while walking, for them this trip is more like a pilgrimage." ”

"That's right, they're all pilgrims." Grofa nodded with deep feeling.

Varess is a world where true gods exist, and although the true gods cannot descend to the mortal world in person, the influence of divine power is everywhere, especially in the fate of people's souls after death: after death, the devout go to the realm of the god they believe in and become a prayer provider; After the death of heretics and cultists, they fell into the lower planes and became slaves of the devil and evil gods.

Far Easterners are branded as heretics by the Holy See of Pero, which not only means that they show evil aura when they are detected in the camp, nor are they only mentally oppressed and disqualified from participating in sacraments and political activities when they are alive, but also that the more terrible punishment will come after death, and after the soul is separated from **, they are destined to go to the abyss and hell without liberation.
