Chapter 165 Saintess suppresses the audience
While speaking, a group of people led by the Saint of Light had already walked down the stairs in a mighty manner, each standing in the predetermined position.
On the platform in the center of the steps, the Saint of Light stood still with a scepter and began the ceremony: "Thank you all for taking the time to come..."
Since she called herself the Saint of Light, Catherine presided over several hundred or dozens of rituals. She has long lost the initial youth and has become mature and persistent.
At this moment, even facing a group of difficult nobles, she still looked calm and her tone was neither anxious nor slow, showing the majesty of the Holy See of the Holy See.
Listening to her voice, the nobles who were just infuriated by the appearance of the masters of the Holy See slowly calmed down.
The opening words were quickly finished, and the Saint of Light paused, and his voice suddenly became solemn: "The settlement ceremony of the statue of God has officially begun. Please ask the statue of my Lord."
After the words came, all the members of the Holy See looked upright and spoke in awe.
"Please give me the statue of my Lord."
"Please give me the statue of my Lord."
"Please give me the statue of my Lord..."
The low and solemn sound stretched down the steps like flowing water, spreading all the way to the square. In an instant, the atmosphere in the square became particularly solemn and dignified.
Infected by this atmosphere, the nobles in the square also had a bit of serious expression on their faces.
Suddenly.
Suddenly, a neighing sound of war horses came from the sky.
Everyone subconsciously looked up and saw a large carriage pulled by a pegasus in the sky.
The carriage seemed to be imprinted with a suspended magic array, flying steadily in the sky. The upper half of the carriage had been removed, leaving only a wide base plate. On the base plate, the tall statue of the god of light was emitting a warm luster in the sunlight.
Seeing this, the nobles in the square changed slightly.
Of course, this is not the only one of the flying carriages on the Guangming Continent, and they have never seen them before. But it is already difficult for ordinary nobles to get a flying mount. Who would be willing to use it to pull a car? This is like using luxury cars as a trailer. People who are not rich enough to a certain extent can't do such things.
Counting throughout the entire Continent of Light, the known flying carriages are only the imperial emperors, as well as the royal chariots used by several grand dukes and princes on missions.
They were surprised to see a flying carriage here. And they had never expected that the statue of the God of Light would appear in this way.
"Welcome the statue of God."
Seeing the carriage getting closer and closer in the sky, the female leader of the Pegasus Knights led the other nine Pegasus knights to the Pegasus, and then suddenly grabbed the horse's belly.
Ten Pegasus assisted two steps, suddenly raised its front hooves and spread its wings, and flew into the sky towards the carriage.
During the flight, ten pegases suddenly separated from the middle, turned into two columns and drew a heart-shaped figure in the air, and successfully joined the carriage.
During the whole process, the formation of the Pegasus Knights changed smoothly and quickly. The white Pegasus had a strong posture and its white wings were shining with sunlight. It seemed like a pleasure below.
Under the protection of the Pegasus Knights, the carriage landed steadily with the statue of the God of Light.
"Lord of Light, today Catherine led all clergy from the Holy See here to pray, praying that the statue of God in front of you will be allowed to officially settle in the Light Cathedral of Thorn City, and accept the devout prayers of thousands of believers..."
The Holy Maiden of Light stepped forward, knelt down at the statue, and began to pray with a solemn expression.
Amid the prayer, the clergymen knelt down together. Even Jimmy, Liliana, and Black, who were not clergymen, knelt down devoutly and prayed in a low voice with the other clergymen.
At the same time, the members of the Knights Templar on both sides of the steps also knelt down together, and their movements were neat and uniform. The weapons and mail rubbed, and only made a crisp sound.
The sound of pious prayers resounded on the steps and gradually spread across the entire square. For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire square became particularly solemn.
"What are they doing?" The young nobleman was a little confused about the situation and couldn't help but lower his voice to ask the people around him.
"This is a ceremony for the Holy See to move the statue of God, which has not appeared for decades." The old man who knew the situation explained, "The Holy See believes that the divine thoughts attached to the statue of God are an extension of God's will. Every time they move or fall, they must pray for the permission of our Lord. This ceremony is held to obtain God's permission."
The young nobleman suddenly realized, but then he had a new doubt: "But, will God really respond?"
The old man who answered the question happened to be one of the nobles who firmly supported the God of Light, and he was immediately dissatisfied when he heard this.
He glared at the young noble with a serious expression and rebuked, "The majesty of God cannot be blasphemed, and God's will cover the heaven and earth. Wherever God's power reaches, your words and deeds are under the gaze of God. If you talk nonsense, be careful to be detected by my Lord to heal your sin of disrespect for God."
However, there are only a few people like this old man, and more nobles still have an unwilling attitude.
They are not disrespectful, nor do they understand that the Holy See is no longer something they can compete with, but they just rely on the law to not blame the public. They do not explicitly blasphemy or confront the Holy See. Could it be that the Holy See can kill all the nobles under the thorns for this matter?
Just when everyone's minds are different.
On the carriage, the tall statue of the god that had not yet landed suddenly changed.
I saw a shimmering light suddenly appeared on the surface of the jade-white statue, and holy divine lights bloomed, sacred and majestic, and were still clearly visible even in the bright sunshine.
At the same time, a sound that seemed to contain the mighty power of the sky sounded between the sky and the earth.
"allow."
The moment the sound rang, the nobles who were whispering to each other in the square, suddenly felt like they were quails that had been pinched to their throats, and they were all speechless.
The square suddenly became particularly quiet.
"Thank you for my Lord."
The Saint of Light calmly thanked the gods, then stood up, ordered people to step forward and carefully lift the statue down, and placed it on the throne that had been prepared.
With a dull sound of "dong", the statue of the god fell steadily.
In an instant, a gentle divine light emerged from the statue like flowing water, swept across the entire square with lightning speed and spread farther away at the same speed.
Under the divine light, everyone in the square suddenly became clear, as if they had seen a light in the fog, feeling enlightened. The haze on their minds was swept away, and even their bodies seemed to have become lighter.
"This, this is..."
"The statue of God has a spirit to protect all living beings." The old noble who had spoken before immediately reacted and muttered to himself with excitement, "I remembered it! There was such a statue in the Thorn City before. Within the scope of the statue, everyone was healthy and plagues could not arise. Unexpectedly, there was such a statue in the Church of Light today. The power of my Lord is indeed beyond human speculation."
As he said that, the old noble knelt down toward the statue of the god excitedly and began to pray devoutly.
With him taking the lead, other nobles who had long converted to our lord also reacted and knelt down and began to pray.
The role of the image of God is said to be indistinguishable, but there is always a saying among believers that the more pious the believers can get the more benefits. Anyway, praying is right at this time.
The other nobles were stunned, and they didn't expect that such a thing would happen. Before they came, they thought that this party was just a random reason to call them together, and they were all ready to attack them in the Holy See.
Who would have thought that the expected embarrassment did not occur, but the benefit was to enjoy it first.
What is the operation?
The nobles were a little confused for a moment.
"Huh? The number of believers has increased so much?"
In the Kingdom of God, Wu Hui thought about it and was surprised to find that the number of believers suddenly increased by dozens. Could it be...
His eyes swept across the nobles in the square, and indeed found many newly established channels of faith above their heads. The channels of faith that already existed also became much thicker in the process just now.
In addition, there are many nobles who have accumulated the power of faith, and there is a channel of belief that appears and disappears from time to time and is extremely unstable. Obviously, these people's mentality is fluctuating and may become believers at any time.
Those who are truly determined and completely unmoved have become a very rare person.
"This is an unexpected surprise."
Wu Hui laughed. He wanted to use this method to deter these nobles, gradually dismantle their will, and make them lose their determination to confront the Holy See. Finally, he used interests as the last blow to completely shatter their resistance.
Unexpectedly, I accidentally accepted the believers of Bo.
Although there are not many believers in this wave, because they are all nobles, they can provide a lot of convenience for their missionary work, and the benefits are not small. After all, county officials are not as good as current management, and the civilians under these nobles are not small.
"Sir Viscount, this..."
In the square, the elderly noble who had talked to Viscount Marcus several times before came to Viscount Marcus again, hesitating and seemed to want to say something.
"I see."
Viscount Marcus's eyes were slightly dark, and he no longer had the mood to admire the beauty.
He saw the changes in the expressions of the nobles on the field. He knew the mentality of the nobles without having to think about what these people were thinking. However, these changes were not what he wanted to see.
In his plan, only when most of the aristocratic groups were resistant to the Holy See, many plans could be implemented conveniently. The so-called general trend is this principle.
For this reason, he has been deliberately or unintentionally provoking the emotions of the nobles, secretly adding fuel to the fire, causing their dissatisfaction with the Holy See to gradually accumulate. He even secretly sent people to ambush the Holy See pastor to stimulate the Holy See's emotions and intends to provoke disputes between the two sides.
Only when the internal thorn leaders were not peaceful and the Holy See's energy was forced to concentrate on settle the troubled nobles, would his plan be easier to implement.
But in front of him, the Holy See's actions made him a little puzzled.
Somehow, he suddenly had a bad premonition.
