Chapter 269: Priesthood
People couldn't say a word because they had seen the 'kingdom of God'—even if it was just a projection, but it was a real 'kingdom of God'!
The 'Golden Garden', that is Latinia's kingdom of God, the 'kingdom of God' that belongs to her alone!
Unlike the previous generation of Goddess of Wealth, her 'Golden Garden' is embellished with precious metals, but it is more 'natural' and 'vibrant', which is the opposite of what she wears.
But all the contradictions that should have existed have been turned into a strange beauty under the 'appeasement' of the gods, and the beauty of the kingdom of God is only an illusion in the eyes of many people, but in the eyes of some, it may be their future......
"My Lord ......"
A merchant fell to his knees with a 'poof', and expressed his obedience with his five bodies on the ground.
He was not the one standing in the front row, he was just one of the vast crowds in front of the high platform, not too crowded in front of him, but he also knew that even if he knelt down, the goddess of wealth would not notice him, because he was one of the vast crowds......
But he still got down on his knees!
Don't say 'a man has gold under his knees,' don't say 'he just wants to be a Holy Spirit in the kingdom of God,' and as a businessman, he can't be without utilitarianism at all.
His faith may not be pure, but he is willing to believe in the goddess as much as he believes in money.
He was originally a believer in the goddess of wealth, but now after the goddess of wealth showed her 'miracles', his faith has deepened.
As a merchant, his faith may not have been pure, but at least he was now free of distractions and offered his faith to the goddess on the high platform.
He is just a small person, because the belief in the goddess of wealth is just going with the flow, and he has taken a fancy to some of the benefits that the goddess of wealth can bring him, so he has become a believer in the goddess of wealth.
And this 'believer' has been in office for sixteen years!
His spiritual pillar is his family, and he runs around for money because he hopes that his family can live a better life, he doesn't need any spiritual sustenance, and even why he believed in the goddess of wealth in the first place, he himself is a little confused.
And in this confusion, he has unknowingly believed in the goddess for sixteen years, during which he has not studied the teachings of the Church of Fortune seriously, and sometimes his prayers are a little perfunctory...... But he has been a believer in the goddess of wealth for sixteen years.
In the past sixteen years, even if he has not seriously studied the doctrine of the Fortune Church, he has become familiar with it, and gradually, his style of acting has a bit of a 'believer' flavor.
He is one of the many beings, he is one of the inactive people, in the past ten years, he has been running for money, and he has experienced all kinds of things, all of which he has carried one by one.
It may or may not have something to do with the goddess......
But so what?
Just now, like the people around him, he saw the 'Kingdom of God', but he was also different from the people around him, and while he saw the 'Kingdom of God', he also recalled his own journey of more than ten years.
He has no habit of robbing, just like he once heard a certain priest explain the doctrine, the most important thing for a merchant is credit, once he loses credit, then the merchant can be said to be 'nothing', he is just an ordinary merchant, usually follow or organize a caravan to do some business, not much money but enough.
Just like the teachings of the goddess, he is just an ordinary businessman, he has not done anything harmful, and petty theft is inevitable, after all, he is just one of the crowds, he has no responsibility, just an ordinary middle-aged man running around for his family.
At first, he only had a donkey, and he accumulated some money by transporting goods between towns and villages, and then he became a believer in the goddess of wealth, because for him at that time, "believing in the goddess of wealth means being able to earn more wealth" at that time, he thought so at that time, without too many distractions.
Sixteen years had passed since then, and during those years he prayed once a week, sometimes not even once a month, and he had a lot of verbal praise, but it was not religious.
But I don't know when he began to like to be kind and trustworthy to others, and the money he earned became more, maybe it had something to do with the goddess he believed in, or maybe it had nothing to do with it......
But what does it matter?
Before he was aware of it, his belief in the goddess had affected him.
There is no doubt that he is a believer in the goddess of wealth, and he finally understands!
So he knelt down and threw himself at the goddess, even if there were still a lot of people standing in front of him, even if he knelt down, the goddess would not notice him, even if the goddess might have done nothing, all this was obtained by his own efforts, but he still had to say:
"Thank you, my lord!"
Maybe it's just the impulse after seeing the 'kingdom of God', or maybe it's just a whim from the heart!
One merchant knelt down, then the second merchant also knelt, the third merchant knelt down, the fourth, the fifth...... Perhaps the faith was not as pure as the priesthood of the Goddess of Wealth, but at this time, they all offered their faith to that Goddess.
"You are our protector, you are the gatekeeper of wealth, you are the law that sustains business, you are the guarantor of the prosperity of the market, you teach us not to be cowardly, you teach us to value money, you guide us to open up new trade routes, you make us not to use evil means to obtain money, you make us break down the barriers that hinder trade – you are the star in the sky, you are our Lord, you are in charge of 'wealth' and 'trade', and the world should call you 'Lady of Wealth' and 'Friend of Merchant' instead of calling you by your holy name. ”
"Your yearning is what we yearn for, and your desire is our prayer!"
The priests knelt together, folded their hands and closed their eyes, and chanted a prayer aloud to their goddess.
At the prayers of the clergy, behind the 'kingdom of God,' an even greater golden shadow slowly emerged.
The goddess of wealth closed her eyes tightly, wrapped her hands around the 'golden garden', and held it in her arms.
Those who were already stunned could not have imagined that such a thing had happened 800 years ago, and that their ancestors might have had the privilege of witnessing such a 'miracle'.
"I am the protector of merchants, I am the gatekeeper of wealth, I am the law that sustains commerce, I am the guarantor of the prosperity of the market, I teach you not to be cowardly, I teach you to cherish money, we guide you to open up new trade routes, we command you not to use unlawful means to obtain money, we make you break the barriers that hinder commerce—"
The voice of the goddess of fortune resounded in the sky, but it was not 'deafening'.
Everyone could hear the goddess's voice clearly, and the other gods also turned their attention to it.
The Sad Wind Territory is now the center of the world, and if it is not, then after that, it will become the 'center of the attention of the whole world'!
"I have taught you that you should treat others with integrity, so I am willing to ensure the execution of the 'contract'!"
At this moment, time seems to have stopped!
At the very top of the world, the 'Source of Order' cast its gaze on the world of Assatom, and all the legends and gods were moved, and in the darkness, they seemed to sense a gaze that was fleeting, and disappeared after sweeping through the world of Assatom.
Then they looked in the direction of the Storm Leader—there, that was what they had just felt!
Thousands of devotees knelt before the goddess of wealth, and because their poor imagination could not think of any beautiful words to praise their faith, they could only show their adoration to the goddess in this clumsy way.
'Yes, this is something that 'mortals' can't do...... 'The maid clasped the hand of the black dragon beside her, looked at Latinia's back, and thought to herself, 'Only a god can do this.' ’
The Goddess of Fortune didn't have much to think about, as she had already received an answer from the 'Source of Order' as planned.
That was the 'Source of Order' answer to her efforts!
