Chapter 40: Bright Praise
...
"What? Leading into heaven?"
The believers all widened their eyes and couldn't believe it.
The civilians who were still muttering to themselves just now were like ducks with their throats pinched down, and they all lost their voices.
Even the admiring entourage cavalry had a moment of blankness on their faces.
There was a moment when no one spoke in the entire square, so quiet that the needle could be heard.
However, just a moment later, the believers around the altar suddenly reacted and instantly burst into a shocking cheer.
Those who can squeeze around the altar are the most devout believers. They will be shocked and unbelievable by Katherine's words, but they will never question them.
His Highness said that God wants to lead the martyrs into heaven, and that must be true.
What does this mean? It means that God of Light has always been watching them in heaven, representing their piety and their efforts, God can see them. What else can be more exciting than this?
Hearing the cheers of the believers ahead, other non-believers woke up as if they were dreaming.
"My God~! I heard it right now, right? What she said just now was to go to heaven? To guide these martyrs to heaven? My God..."
The person who had not recovered from the shock and shock covered his mouth and stared at his eyes, and his meaningless exclamations were repeated in his mouth, with an expression that was still outside the situation.
The slightly calmer civilians couldn't help but whisper and talk.
"Go to heaven? Isn't this possible? How do I remember that only the pope, the saint, and the most devout monks are qualified to be taken to heaven after death?" An old man who had some knowledge of the history of the Holy See was confused, and seemed to want to believe it, but he didn't dare to believe it.
"I don't think it's true." A middle-aged man next to him who looked a little like him was talking, but he was much more polite. "How can it be so easy to go to heaven? What's more, is it still a little bit of whether that person is still there? I think this is a gimmick, just to fool you, those who still have fantasies about gods, so as to establish prestige."
The old man didn't think so and couldn't help but retort: "What if it's true?"
On the other side of the crowd, a young man with a proud expression was also whispering to his friends: "This so-called saint of light is really ignorant. He really does everything he wants to consolidate people's hearts. He dares to even say such a ridiculous lie. He is not afraid of being fooled and being embarrassed in public."
He looked at the altar with disdain in his eyes, as if he had already figured out the facts, and was waiting for Catherine to make a fool of herself in public.
His friends dare not answer.
Although God wants to bring martyrs to heaven, it is hard to believe because they are too much like sugar-coated shells, the man just swears that His Highness the Saint would not dare to burn Master Gundyar to death. In the end, the facts prove that His Highness did not lie.
What if it is true this time, will they respond at this time, aren’t they slapping themselves in the face? It doesn’t matter if he is thick-skinned, they still want shame.
In the Kingdom of God, Wu Hui's eyes wandered on the faces with different expressions in the crowd. He listened to the sound of speech after speech coming through the screen, and finally gathered into a scattered noise, with a strange expression on his face.
He found that something like a slap in the face is really addictive.
When he first heard these people's doubts, he was still very angry, but now he was not angry at all. Not only was he not angry, he really wanted to see what expression these people would look like when they really saw the door to heaven open.
Especially those who have a very confident tone and speak very badly, they especially want to see how wonderful the expressions on their faces are.
He felt that he was pretty bad too.
However, since these people have said it out, they have to bear the consequences, right? People always have to pay the price for what they do.
Of course, there were actually much less doubts than at the beginning. Most people in the square were still incredible that "How could such a big pie really hit us on the head" on their faces.
In fact, the pie is too big and confused. I am afraid that I will be just happy, so I am skeptical and dare not believe it.
This is human nature, so he doesn't care about it.
His eyes swept around the square, and he couldn't help but adjust the perspective of the Eye of God to see the group of knights and cavalry on the edge of the square.
He noticed these six people just now.
There is no way. These six people are not only tall, but also have completely different temperaments from the civilians around them. It is difficult for him to not notice it.
Moreover, the focus of these people is different from that of ordinary civilians, especially the middle-aged knight who is leading, who seems to be more rational and smarter than the other cavalrymen. He couldn't help but pay more attention.
As the Eye of God turned around, several entourage cavalry were discussing in a low voice.
"I'm a little unbeliever." A entourage cavalry murmured in a low voice, "After death, the soul ascends to heaven, this is a supreme honor for believers. If this is true, those believers will not go crazy in the future? Even if there is a sea of swords and fire in front of them, they may be able to rush forward desperately."
The other escort cavalry couldn't help but nodded: "I think so too. As the saying goes, 'They are afraid of being desperate.' Although these soldiers of the Holy See may not be as good as us, their equipment is not much worse. If you use that kind of fighting style that costs life, it would be terrible~ I don't know whether Viscount Connor can withstand it, but we will definitely not be able to withstand it anyway."
"Stop resisting it, just thinking about it makes me feel scared."
As the few people were talking, they couldn't help but turn their heads to look at the middle-aged knight Horn in the lead, seeking approval with expectation: "Master, do you think so?"
"It's hard to say now, let's take a look~"
Horn's expression was still calm, but the storm waves were stirring up in his slightly narrowed eyes, making his expression unconsciously a little stiff.
Listening to his subordinates' discussions, he finally realized what was wrong.
It is the God of Light.
He has always ignored the existence of the God of Light. Or it cannot be said that he has ignored it, but has habitually not thought about it.
After all, the God of Light has not delivered miracles for decades, and the Church of Light has declined for a long time. Even His Majesty the Emperor directly declared that the God of Light had fallen. Like many people, he habitually regarded the existence of the God of Light as a legend.
Even if Catherine and the others appeared in the name of the Holy See of Light, he had no idea that this would be taken for a moment, just as if you wouldn't have thought that the heroes in historical biography would appear in real life.
But what if He really comes back?
If He really comes back, then all the unreasonable aspects will be explained.
Horn was straight and stared at the altar without blinking. Now, just look at what the saint will do next, you will know if his guess is correct.
In the Kingdom of God, Wu Hui looked at Horn's reaction and felt a little confused.
This expression... Could it be that he guessed the truth? If this is the case, it would be interesting~
While Wu Hui was thinking, on the other side, Catherine didn't care how much shock she said. After announcing, she turned around and knelt down at the statue, held the silver cross on her chest with both hands, and sang the chants and praises of light devoutly.
"Praise my Lord..."
Melodious, ethereal chanting sounded on the altar and gradually drifted in the square.
Instant time.
A powerful and pure light surged from the altar and soared into the sky!
In the square, everyone stopped talking suddenly and looked up in shock.
Chapter completed!
