"Bell...... Bell..."

As the monastery bells rang, a dense crowd of figures began to converge towards the Holy Chapel.

Today is the Day of Light, the last day of the week, and a day of regular prayer.

The townsfolk listen to the oracles in the Sacred Chapel from morning to afternoon, and from afternoon to night, the monastery has its own prayer session.

The interior of the Holy Auditorium is spacious, with a high dome and four walls, even the cracks in the walls are full of ancient heritage.

The walls are made of hard black sandstone, and the walls on either side are lined with neat rows of arched windows above the height of an adult, and the crystal windows are painted with flowing patterns and paintings, and the ancient vines on the outer walls that have passed through the years occasionally poke their curious heads out of the windows.

Rows of candles flickering happily on the cauldron against the wall under the window, and portraits of previous bishops and some religious precepts are prominently hung on the wall, giving the whole space a more solemn and solemn feeling.

The central aisle of the auditorium is covered with a red carpet with embroidered trim, and rows of chairs are arranged on each side of the aisle.

At the moment, the right side of the bench was filled with orphans and children who had come to study at the monastery, the left side chair was filled with nuns and deacons, and the miscellaneous servants occupied the back row.

The solemn face of the chief priest stood on the side of the reading platform with a golden scepter more than half a man tall and a ruby at the top, a middle-aged man with little signs of age in his face and hair color, except for a slight wrinkle.

The place where he stood was brightly lit, and the gold-cut headdress on his forehead and the embroidered robe with silver stripes and gold trim made his whole person look faintly glowing with gold, and it was a mess.

Rianna stood behind the old Bible reading platform with the oracle in her hand, her beautiful face a little tangled.

Some of the boys in the crowd were smiling, waiting for their favorite part of the prayer.

After being translated and sung by generations of priests, the ancient oracles have long ceased to be incomprehensible syllables. There are even many small prayer chapters divided into details, ranging from men and women to the elderly and children.

After the chief priest raised his staff, everyone stood up from their seats in an orderly manner, crossed their hands on their shoulders, bowed their heads slightly, and held a standard prayer posture.

Rianna slowly opened her mouth and took the lead in reciting.

"The Lord of Darkness is always watching over us, and whether we are the poor and helpless, or the helpless, we will finally be guided and blessed to move forward again......

Following Rianna's melodious voice, the praying crowd in the audience also spoke, and the untidy messy tone was like a swarm of buzzing flies trapped in the tent.

At the end of the regular prayer ceremony, the chief priest raised his staff again, and all the praying people in the audience took their seats one after another.

After glancing over the crowd, Rianna bit the corner of her lip and continued to recite a personal prayer for women with an impatient expression.

"I huddled in the dark shadow of death, unclothed, and all thoughts were in disarray. ”

"Until God passes by, saves me, and guides me to a new life. ”

"For this reason, I am willing to break away from the illusion of prosperity, and pray here that my face will fade away, and I will die soon, so that I may soon join the arms of the Lord God. ”

"Poof~!"

As soon as Rianna finished speaking, the boys in the crowd couldn't help but laugh out loud with expressions on their faces that had finally arrived.

As they aged, they didn't have much reverence for God, so it seemed to them that Rianna's prayer to curse her early death had a good stimulating effect on this solemn occasion.

The expressions of Lowton and Feith standing in the crowd were quite normal, and there was no fluctuation.

The chief priest's angry gaze swept over, and the commotion of the crowd fell silent again.

Even Shogues, who has always been casual, only dares to quietly squeeze his eyebrows at Thor through a few figures at this moment.

Frolicking on such sacred occasions, once accused of blasphemy, was to be sent to the Inquisition in Newtown to be tortured.

When it comes to gods, the people of Grey Curtain have always had a chaotic faith in them.

Some people believe it, others don't, but at least on the surface, everyone is a believer in the Lord of Darkness, after all, this is the only faith on the continent today.

In Saul's view, the source of all belief in God is a question of whether it exists because it exists or believes because it exists.

In fact, every orphan has been the most devout believer in the world since the beginning of his memory.

Because their lonely hearts are in desperate need of warmth and support, and faith in God has become the only spiritual support they can reach out.

It's a pity that the world is too cold, the journey has been difficult, the beauty has been torn apart, the faith has been buried, and the most pious orphan has become the greatest blasphemer in the end.

Thor, who has now become a believer, will naturally no longer be infected by the so-called sacredness between those sentences, so that he has the opportunity to meditate on this ancient oracle from a literary point of view.

In fact, he had read many of these similar oracles in some of the older books, and with a slight modification of the object and name, these prayers could praise another god and gradually take root in the hearts of the people for years to come.

Like the prayer that was first recited, Thor knew that it was actually used to praise the Lord God of Light during the Calendar of Light.

Standing in the crowd, a smile tugged at the corner of Thor's mouth, not because of Rianna's prayer, but because he suddenly remembered a saying.

It is said that some high-ranking female believers always believed that being naked was a better reflection of the purity of their faith and closer to God, so they often wore nothing under their robes.

Whether this statement is reliable or not is unknown, Saul would have liked God to suddenly appear and tell his female believers that they would be more religious by taking off all their ugly clothes.

In that case, I wonder if going out on the street will become Shogues' only hobby.

Today is the fifth day since the duel, and Thor has largely recovered from the injury on his wrist.

After personally verifying the healing potion he had concocted, Thor was generally satisfied with the effect.

The reason why he is generally satisfied is because Thor has done the best he can based on the recipe he has obtained in his hands and his superficial pharmacy.

If you want to improve the current beginner elixir, you are already beyond your own knowledge and ability.

In the face of the vastness and vastness of pharmacy, Thor is glad that he has set off a small corner and has received a strong guarantee from the level of survival.

As for the mid-level potions with shorter healing effects and recovery time or the high-level potions that are rumored to have immediate results, they are still far away from their current self, and they have nothing to do with them for the time being.

"Bell... Clang... Clang... Bell..."

The bell rang again, still distant and desolate, but it seemed to be a little hurried.

Everyone in the auditorium subconsciously looked up, and their expressions were a little puzzled.

Today's prayer is a relatively solemn ritual of the week, so there are so many people that there are almost no absences, but why is the bell ringing again to summon everyone to assemble?

After a few moments, a look of horror suddenly appeared on everyone's face.

This is not the monastery bell, but the old bronze bell in the town as a warning.

Most of the human settlements in this dark continent are never at peace, and you never guess what kind of madness will emerge from the darkness.

Over the years, Grey Curtain has faced numerous threats from the Dark Wilderness, but not to the point of warning.

Most of the people who come to attack are just some reckless and crazy beasts, and occasionally there will be various strange-looking monsters, on the contrary, those powerful monsters may have a certain degree of intelligence, and rarely take the initiative to attack human territory.

The town's own force is strong enough to deal with most ordinary crises on a normal day, and once the old bell rings in the town, it basically means two possibilities.

Either the invading enemy is strong enough to threaten the survival of the town, or the number of enemies has reached a scale that cannot be ignored.

Almost as soon as he understood the meaning of the bell, Faith did not communicate with anyone, and ran out of the main gate with the two guards Warren. He had apparently gone to gather his men, and although he was not yet an official lord, it was certainly impossible for him to turn a blind eye to the crisis in his realm.

Ruianna and several powerful children of the family also hurried away one after another, leaving to join their guards.

The only exception in the entire monastery was Fez, and the rest of the family's guards could only wait outside the monastery gates.

On the reading platform, the chief priest's face flashed for a moment of panic and fear, and soon disappeared.

He walked to the reading platform and picked up the oracle again, and after elegantly spreading his hands to reassure the crowd, he began to take the lead in reciting a chapter of the oracle with a face full of reverence.

The image of the chief priest with a scepter in one hand and an oracle in the other did bring a brief moment of composure to the crowd, but the chanting was quickly interrupted by the confusion outside.

Thor looked back through the main entrance of the monastery.

Outside, there was already a lot of noise and fire under the dark canopy, and although I didn't know the specifics, it felt like the whole town had suddenly arrived on the night of the Erudomon celebration.
