Chapter 422: Wei Zhi
On Monday morning, the sun was shining, just like Father Miró was in at the moment. With colorful flags flying everywhere and leaflets filling the streets of the Cathedral of Charisma like fireworks, it was a special day for Stormtown.
People walked out of their homes, dressed up, and gathered in front of the Chapel of Grace, which was to be built in a temple.
The cathedral is magnificent, with its towering minarets, white pillars, stained glass curtain walls, and various exquisite reliefs that appear on the arches, all of which create an atmosphere of sacred solemnity. In front of the arch of the church, Father Miró, dressed in white priestly clothes and with a stern face, held the newly completed canon in his hand and said to the people below: "Today, I am glad to tell you good news. The cathedral will be officially opened to the public from this moment onwards, signifying that the Lord's grace will be blessed by this fortunate city. Yes, it is a city favored by the gods. My brothers and sisters, you will remember that not so long ago, our city was under siege. At that moment, I felt as desperate as you did. ”
"But at that time, only our holy woman's face remained unchanged, and she said to me: The Lord of heaven will not give up this city, because we always praise his holy name." Miro's voice raised a few degrees and said, "So I pulled myself back together, and it turned out that those villains were finally banished, and we were reborn!" ”
Father Miró closed his eyes and heard the cheers of the people as expected. A few months earlier, he had begun to preach in the city of Sur, and had acquired his first followers by some small means. Even though there were only a few believers at the time, he then played the card of Vera, using Vera's ability to peek into the future, and after a few accurate predictions, the priest's number of believers suddenly increased.
Although within the Balgaon Empire, a variety of faiths pervaded every corner of the empire. However, these beliefs, and the gods and goddesses behind them, are all images and legends created by people. Even if it has been used by some well-intentioned people in history, it has artificially created several so-called miracles. But to this day, some sects have withered, and some are still struggling to support, but they have gradually declined.
At this time, the priest appeared with the doctrine of Christ and performed one miracle after another, which immediately won hearts and minds. After all, a god who shows miracles is far more likely to gain people's faith than a god who only has legends and no actual actions.
In Sur City, news of Christ, the Virgin Vera, and many other miracles spread to Storm City. In addition, under the planning and instigation of Edward behind the scenes, after Father Miro came to Storm City, he also gained a group of believers. Today, all the faithful are gathered here, giving the priest the feeling of being crowned as a papal witness.
Enjoying the sound of the tide, Father Miró opened his eyes with some reluctance, made a gesture with his hands to calm the crowd, and said, "Now, we have asked our saint to make a new prophecy for the cathedral. ”
Vera, the holy woman, has made many confirmed prophecies, and people have come to believe that it is the gods who see the future through her eyes. Therefore, Vera's status in the eyes of the people is much higher than that of Father Miró. It's no wonder, after all, the former is the spokesperson of the gods, and the latter is the servant of the gods, so it's natural to see who is more important.
Today, the girl dressed in a white holy robe really has a bit of a sacred taste. In particular, Vera's black hair and black eyes always give people a sense of detachment from the mundane. Coupled with the girl's own ethereal temperament, as soon as Vera appeared, the crowd cheered again.
Vera stood in front of the arch of the church and gradually raised her head. His eyes were like black jade covered with a layer of water, and he slowly scanned the crowd below. Where her gaze swept over, the crowd fell silent. Some even knelt directly on the ground and bowed to Vera. Retracting her gaze, Vera spat out a passage from her mouth: "The Father who walks in heaven is the only true God in the world. Hearing his name will bring you peace from calamity and sickness. Praise Him and love Him, and when you turn to dust, angels will lead you to His kingdom. ”
"And the Lord said, There shall be men in this city who love him, and the grace of God shall be blessed here forever."
Vera raised her hands flat, and the choir behind her, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately sang hymns aloud. Behind the cathedral, balls of fire and blue light suddenly rose, colliding and exploding in mid-air, bursting into colorful fireworks and falling downward.
Father Miró rushed forward and said, "This is the Holy Baptism, and this will be the place where the Gospel is born." Praise be to you, Lord Almighty! ”
Suddenly, the atmosphere of the ceremony was pushed to a climax.
After the choir finished singing, Alan and Edward personally pushed open the door of the Cathedral of Divine Grace to conclude the ceremony. The crowd was able to enter the church and receive a gift from the church at the door. The gift is just a fairly ordinary cookie or bread, but it is such an inconspicuous gift, but it is enough to make the image of the church into thousands of households.
Christianity has been spreading across the earth for thousands of years, and it has long been a set of patterns for how to win hearts and minds. Father Miró has only taken one or two of them, but he has been exhausted. The most important feature of this sect is that it is open, and Christianity does not require the status of the people, from the emperor of a country to the beggars on the street corners. As long as you are willing to convert, the church will accept it.
This alone determines that the audience of this sect is far greater than that of other temple sects.
After Allen and Edward, two important figures, expressed their conversion to the Church in front of everyone, other officials, officers, and civilians expressed their willingness to join the Church. So this morning, Father Miró was too busy to drink a saliva, but he always had a big smile on his face.
Hegers was present throughout the ceremony. Judging by Allen's approach, there is no doubt that this church was founded under his deliberate push. Hagus could not understand this, although it was not uncommon for the superior to control the people through the guò faith, but Allen's move clearly elevated the status of the church. This will have an irresistible impact on his management in the future. Lords with a modicum of common sense would not allow the power of the church to rise above them.
So he didn't understand why Eren was doing this.
But these are not the point, the point is the fireball and the light that rises into the sky before the end of the ceremony, which is naturally not the so-called holy baptism that Father Miró said. The fireballs and the light came from an army that Allen had placed behind the church, and Hagus's retinue told him very clearly that the firearms used were not the usual firearms. Importantly, what comes out of a firearm is a fireball that is converted from the source force, or a bullet with a highly condensed source force.
Whether it was a fireball or a source bullet, Hagus could estimate their power slightly, and the results surprised him. That is, if Allen uses this army to fire at his most elite Black Cloud Knights, the Black Cloud Knights will be engulfed by the firepower of Allen's side before they can impact the opponent's line.
At the time of the last peace agreement, Hagus had not seen this force. Alan only appeared on them now, but it actually had a shocking effect. Hagus could not have known that Allen's approach was undoubtedly a warning. Warn the Black Iron Castle not to do anything that would violate the agreement, and after much inquiry, Hagus took a name to heart.
Inch fire!
This is the number of that force, in Hagus's heart. The name creeps out over the King of the Mountains and the Blade of the Dark. R1058
