"Chapter 379: City of Divine Grace"

Holy See of Light, City of Divine Grace.

It's a city full of legends, it's a city that comes to life in a day. This is the city of angelic protection, and here is the holy place of "certification" of the Holy See.

It's a little shabby, but it's very holy. The walls are small and weak, but no one dares to offend them.

There is a church funded by the Holy See, but it is not under the control of the Holy See, and there is no bishop of the Holy See stationed there, because it is a city given by the gods and a place of worship for the faithful.

Holy angels float over the city all day long, their white wings waving from time to time. Her body radiated a soft light, and the whole city was bathed in it.

This is the City of Divine Grace, this city belongs to the angels, and belongs to Zhao Tiantian, the messenger of the gods from the east.

The inhabitants of the city were dressed roughly, which the Holy See had always complained about, believing that the servants of God should not dress like farmers or hunters, and gave hundreds of sets of white clergy clothes, but the inhabitants of the tribe did not look at them at all, and turned these white clothes into rags to make daily necessities. The local bishop was helpless about this, for the angels seemed to care nothing about their clothing, and were very fond of these rough creatures.

However, the Holy See still invested a lot of money in the construction of the city, and also sent a large number of craftsmen. However, these excellent craftsmen were not involved in any special construction work, but only built churches and houses in the style of the Holy See. The craftsmen complained to the clergy who oversaw the construction that the short builders were always the first to complete the constructions and did not let them interfere at all, even if they were veteran craftsmen with decades of experience and were highly regarded by the higher echelons of the Holy See.

Under the reasonable management of both sides, the development of Shen'en City is very rapid, and even faintly overwhelms Fujia City, which has a huge capital investment, and even Dong Tuhao thinks that he is inferior.

From the center of the city, where many papal gold ornaments are hung, to the golden wall next to the outermost gate, the opulence of the city is evident. The houses are all newly built, and the roofs are all beautiful red tiles. The streets are paved with gravel and there are sewers, so it doesn't get muddy even when it rains. The main street is lined with newly opened shops, where merchants from the tribal town sell a lot of the city's specialties, including small bottles of "holy water" for Zhao Tiantian.

Goblin merchants also see business opportunities, as more than a thousand tourists and pilgrims visit every day to see the angels. These green-skinned vendors make large quantities of "souvenirs blessed by the gods" and sell the gold-painted pieces of wood for a high price. They also offer a range of pilgrimage services, such as renting out a room facing the angels, a room where you can be shrouded in light all the time, hosting a beautiful and sincere pilgrimage, and even making mini-dolls to sell to the little ones. They made a lot of money, which made the merchants of other regions red-eyed. They also duly signed a series of commercial contracts, gave up a portion of their profits, and entered the market of the entire principality.

The high-level of the Holy See has said many times to Zhao Tiantian before, hoping to build the City of Divine Grace as they hope, they hope to build a magnificent cathedral here, and station a whole team of Holy See guards in gorgeous armor, where they constantly hold prayer ceremonies, show their loyalty to the messengers of the gods, and take this opportunity to preach their teachings, of course, many of them are related to holy wars.

Claims of the angel's divine power have spread throughout the Holy See, and it is known that she can heal wounds and even bring the dead back to life. The previous plague was cured by her and Zhao Tiantian's medical troops, but the masses took it for granted that all the credit was given to the angels. Under this influence, the proclamation of angelic patronage and jihad rhetoric was a very good move, which could bring a large number of soldiers to the Holy See.

However, Zhao Tiantian rejected their suggestions on the grounds that the angels didn't like them, and as the only person who could communicate directly with the angels, she always had good reasons to refuse the Holy See's suggestions. However, the Holy See is not really lost, because they have discovered that the angel who floats in the sky all day long, releasing holy light, is more like a little girl after landing, and this angel's actions are basically influenced by Zhao Tiantian.

The Holy See has tried many times, and they have confirmed that the angels are real, messengers of God with divine powers. But they also saw more opportunities in the angel, who was so subject to mortals without the constraints of the name of the gods. And as long as you negotiate an agreement with that mortal, the messenger of the gods may not be an incomparably powerful weapon. So although the emissaries of the Holy See are gone, their plans are still going on. Zhao Tiantian had heard before that the Holy See was constantly denouncing the heretical forces in the north, accusing them of using dark magic to bring evil forces such as the undead skeleton to the world.

As for whether the denunciation will turn into an armed attack, Dong Tuhao and Zhao Tiantian have no objection to this, the Holy See is recruiting a large number of troops in the larger principality, and the elite troops of the Holy See have also begun to move north. Even some of the Punishment Corps in the center of the Holy See began to move north, getting closer and closer to the northern border of the Holy See.

The countries north of the Holy See have also begun to receive these news, and their vigilance against the Holy See has become stronger and stronger, and many people believe that with the help of angels who can heal hundreds of people in an instant, it is only a matter of time before the Holy See goes north. Although the strength to deal with those big empires is still insufficient, it is still easy to eliminate the opposition of those small countries around under the pretext of eliminating heresy, support puppets, preach doctrines, and increase the number of believers.

Within the Holy See, however, there are also strange people who are unpredictable, scoffing at the actions of the Holy See, and spreading new ideas, stories about the Shadows, and the power behind them, in villages that are weakly controlled by the Holy See.

The Holy See discovered these people, as well as the skeleton squads made of white bones, as well as those strange and wonderful shadow magic. Their identities were confirmed, and the Holy See was furious. Although the Holy See promised that the dark Church could continue to preach in some areas and that the congregants would not be persecuted, after so many years, the Holy See did not care about these old rules. Even if the other party's behavior did not exceed the requirements of the contract that year, they also dispatched the punishment army, demanding that all the dark cultists be arrested and burned to death with holy light.

The internal contradictions of the Holy See began to intensify, and the City of Divine Grace, known as one of the Holy Cities of the Holy See, began to swing between the two sides.
