Chapter 518: Moses

Walking through the narrow and ancient streets of St. Delin is like stepping back in time to the Middle Ages.

Most of the houses here are made of stone, which was also collected from Mont Saint-Louis but is brown and yellow, dark brown and light gray, and the craftsmen of Saint-Delin have skillfully pieced together a variety of religious motifs that are a special feature of this country within a country.

There are many shops along the street, and it is said that all the products here belong to the Church of the Cross, and most of the proceeds from the sale of the goods go to the construction fund of the Cathedral of the Holy Flame.

Therefore, believers who come here for pilgrimage often donate generously and buy a large number of holy charms, holy ornaments, holy food, and so on.

And every street in St. Delin's leads to the Cathedral of the Holy Flame, which is located in the center of the city.

With an area of only 1.25 square kilometres, it only takes about 10 minutes to walk to this world-famous temple church.

The Cathedral of the Holy Flame currently covers an area of more than 50,000 square meters and has the capacity to accommodate more than 100,000 people, and the Pope who presides over the Church of the Cross regularly holds various ceremonies here every year, with tens of thousands of people attending.

It is worth mentioning that tourists do not need to buy tickets to enter the Holy Flame Cathedral, but there is an offering box at the door, just like the merit box in the Great Xia Temple, to receive offerings from believers.

Many visitors are not believers, but they also put a few bills in the offering box to show their respect for the church.

When Zuo Yi followed the flow of people into the cathedral, he casually threw a stack of US dollars into the offering box.

Of course, he is not a believer, but he has made a lot of gains lately, and this amount of dollars is not even a drop in the bucket.

It's a little respect.

Next to the offering box stood a black-robed priest, his eyes flashing with surprise.

His eyes were very keen, and he saw that the dollar bill that Zuo Yi had just put into the offering box was a denomination of 100 yuan, and this stack was 10,000 dollars.

Although the Crucifixion Church receives hundreds of millions of believers every year, it is really rare for a tourist like Zuo Yi who does not look like a believer to throw 10,000 knives.

"Sir. ”

The black-robed priest took two steps forward and said to Zuo Yi very politely, "Thank you for your generosity, this gift from the Lord is given to you. ”

As he spoke, he handed Zuo Yi a silver cross.

Zuo Yi was originally going to refuse politely, because he was not a believer in the Cross Sect, but his eyes swept over the cross in the hands of the black-robed priest, and he couldn't help but move in his heart.

"Thank you. ”

Zuo Yi took it.

The black-robed priest smiled kindly: "May the Lord protect you." ”

Zuo Yi smiled.

Even if there really is a "Lord" in the Blue Star World, he is not qualified to protect him.

But the cross given to him by the black-robed priest was very interesting, and it actually contained a very weak power of faith.

The level of this power of faith is very low, so it has no practical use, similar to "opening the light", perhaps it has the effect of "exorcising evil spirits", Zuo Yi took it purely out of curiosity.

As a visitor, a true knight, he doesn't speak arrogantly or do anything wrong on other people's turf.

Zuo Yi, who came here today, is just a tourist who wants to fulfill his old wishes.

The interior of the Cathedral of the Holy Flame is resplendent and extravagant, and its main hall is a dome with a diameter of more than 60 meters and a ceiling height of 180 meters, which is a miracle of ancient architecture.

The walls around the main hall are painted with exquisite murals, many of which are inlaid with precious stones, and when the sun shines through the crystal glass of the dome on the 125.75-meter-high statue of the Father, the diffuse light and countless gems are intertwined.

It's like a miracle.

It is said that for thousands of years, nearly 100 tons of gold, more silver and brass, and millions of large and small gems have been used to decorate the Basilica of the Holy Flame.

In addition, the Cathedral of the Holy Flame also displays countless art treasures.

The effect of this kind of money at any cost is undoubtedly amazing, and almost all visitors to the temple are stunned, and those who come to the pilgrimage kneel before the statue of the Father and pray sincerely.

Zuo Yi was also a little surprised.

He was not surprised by the luxury of the Holy Flame Cathedral and the magnificence of the statue of the Heavenly Father, but by the massive power of faith condensed on this hundred-meter-high statue.

Although this kind of willingness from the believer's devotion is not the same as the nature of Zuo Yi's virtue belief, the qualitative change brought about by the quantitative change makes this statue have the attributes similar to that of the law creation, and creates a special aura.

The aura of faith emanating from the statue of the Father covered the entire hall, silently influencing those who entered it.

Compassion, peace, compassion, joy, faith...

Although Zuo Yi was completely unaffected, in his perception, this statue was perfectly integrated with the Holy Flame Cathedral, it was the central point of the whole St. Delin, and its role was more than just a substitute for worship for believers.

If St. Delin is regarded as a circle, then the statue of the Father is the center and eye of the circle.

It must have been an extraordinary person who designed it back then!

Zuo Yi stood in front of the statue of Heavenly Father for a few minutes, then turned around and prepared to leave.

Originally, Zuo Yi also wanted to use the spiritual network to perceive the existence of the World Stone, but he didn't gain anything, although the statue of the Heavenly Father was magical, it was not enough for him to linger.

"Ahh

"Oh God!"

"Grace of our lord!"

At this time, the tourists and believers who were visiting the surroundings suddenly made an uproar, and the crowd was in a commotion.

Zuo Yi suddenly felt a sense in his heart, he couldn't help but turn around to look, only to see that dozens of meters away, an old man wearing a white gold-rimmed robe, wearing a golden crown on his head, and holding a golden scepter was walking out of the golden arch.

Dozens of red-robed, purple-robed, and black-robed people surrounded this white-robed old man with a generous bearing like stars and moons, and the tourists and believers who were blocking the front gave way one after another, and many believers knelt down on the spot with great excitement!

Because this white-robed old man is the contemporary Pope Moses!

For believers, being able to see Moses with their own eyes is like winning a jackpot of 10 million.

Because the Pope only appears in the Cathedral of the Holy Flame on Christmas Day or Coronation Day, it is the Pope or the Cardinal Archbishop who usually presides over the church services.

But this did not detract from the prestige of this legendary figure, who in fact should be the most familiar transcendent in the world, and countless believers have enshrined him alongside the portrait of the Father.

Who would have thought that His Majesty the Pope would appear in the hall on such an ordinary and ordinary day!

Leading a group of bishops, the archbishop, Moses walked straight towards Zuo Yi with a faint smile on his face.
