Chapter 35: The Chapel of the Light

Feeling the power that was gradually recovering, Roland glanced at the stamina in his attribute bar. After more than ten minutes of rest, he recovered a total of 12 physical fitness points. All the physical strength points have exceeded 50 points, and the symptoms of weakness and fatigue are slowly subsiding.

He slowly stood up, nodded to Artoria, and stepped out of the carriage.

In order to show the sanctity and equality of the Light, the large square in front of the church is closed to horse-drawn carriages, and even those as noble as Terenus must dismount and walk here. Therefore, Roland could only walk through the square with the Dull Fur King and one of the guards who drove before, and walked towards the huge building in front of him that was full of divine aura.

The golden roof, snow-white marble, and blue glass windows make up the most basic elements of the cathedral. A minaret rises from each of the four corners of the square, guarding the tall tower in the very center. Each minaret is also surrounded by four small spire arches, somewhat similar to Gothic architecture on Earth. The pointed arched gate at the front symbolizes the majesty and justice of the Light, and the thirteen steps are covered with a dark blue carpet with gold trim.

In addition, dozens of heavily armed guards were scattered around the chapel and in the square, inspecting the surrounding pedestrians, who were specially dispatched by the Stratholme City Hall to ensure the smooth baptism of the paladins.

This is where the first human paladins were born, and for some reason, Roland suddenly had the feeling that he was looking at the Holy Land. It was only a fleeting moment, but he could perceive that something seemed to be connected to him.

But before he had time to think about the ethereal induction, Roland experienced the embarrassing position of the Adventist in this world again. A small group of patrolling guards stopped in front of the three of them, but perhaps because of an acquaintance, they did not do it directly, but first asked the guard from Barov's house.

"Andrew, how did you come back on your own? How's the tournament going? What about Miss Illusia? A deep voice came out from under the visor, a little urn.

Although it sounded like the other party was just a usual greeting, Roland knew that what the other party really cared about was his elf and the knight king beside him, and the guards under the other party had even faintly formed an arc, and once the two of them made a slight move, they would fall into the other party's encirclement. Obviously, the dumb king with beautiful emerald eyes was considered suspicious.

Although he was amazed by the vigilance and quality of the other party, Roland was a guest this time, so he was not nervous at all. Sure enough, the guard named Andrew quickly explained to the two of them.

"Captain Marven, Miss is still presiding over the martial arts competition, this Lord Roland Chenge is a friend of Miss Young, and the one next to him is his follower", the middle-aged guard saluted the other party, and then said: "Miss told me to bring them to the chapel, she should be back soon." ”

Then, he paused and accentuated his tone: "This Lord Roland Morning Song is a paladin. ”

Before the words fell, someone behind the squad leader let out an exclamation with envy: "Paladin? ”

However, the warriors who can be sent to guard the chapel are elite, not foolish masters. Marven, who was in the lead, only hesitated for a moment, and then gave an order to his subordinates behind him: "You continue to patrol." Little Luther, take them to the side hall, and I will go in and report to the Bishop. ”

The guard whose name was called was the one who had just let out an exclamation, and without the slightest delay, the young guard walked up to the three men and saluted, and led them into the chapel.

The central hall of the chapel is very empty, the tall stone pillars and the huge stones on which several people are comfortable support the high dome, the gray floor and snow-white walls can occasionally see the slightest cracks, and the simple and simple decoration conveys a solemn and heavy atmosphere to every visitor.

"The Chapel of the Light was built two hundred years ago, at that time it was the largest building in Stratholmery, and it was a sacred place for the entire kingdom of Lordaeron and even human society, and it is said that His Majesty intends to expand the chapel after the baptism of the Paladins and add a camp for the Knights."

Perhaps because of Roland's Paladin's status, the young man was not as hostile as before, leading the way in front while whispering to the two about the history of this chapel, with deep pride and longing for the Paladin.

There are not many people in the side hall, only a few people dressed in rich clothes sit in the back row and close their eyes and pray, and occasionally walk by a priest in a white robe, who is also very busy. Warm sunlight shines through the huge windows, diffusing white masonry and brightening the small hall.

The young guard led the three of them to a corner of the side hall, and did not leave in a hurry, but waited for his captain Sima Wen. He had kept his mouth shut since he entered the side hall, and it was obvious that as a believer in the Holy Light, he still had a trace of awe for the solemn hall.

This is the holy land of the whole of Lordaeron, and it is also the place where the continent has trained the most priests.

In the past, priests were gradually trained by church priests who selected suitable children from among the nobility to teach the way of light. However, as the human kingdom has become more and more open to the wilderness, and the conflicts with various humanoids have gradually increased, the need for priests in each kingdom has been increasing.

Archbishop Alonthos Fao took this opportunity to promote the spread of knowledge about the Light among the populace, opening a new avenue for the civilians of Lordaeron. With the popularization of knowledge and the passage of time, more and more civilian priests have emerged, and the national strength of the kingdom of Lordaeron has also increased, and it has firmly established the first position among human nations.

So it is not for nothing that people in Stratholme have the reverence for the archbishop and the Chapel of the Light, otherwise, if any one claims that he has developed a new and powerful professional system, I am afraid that everyone will regard the other as a psycho rather than a great pioneer.

Although the atmosphere was a little oppressive, several people did not have the idea of chatting on such an occasion, but fortunately, it didn't take long for Captain Marven to come to everyone with a young man in a priest's robe. Coincidentally, the young pastor was the same guy that Roland had treated on the street near the Elders' Square two days earlier, that is, Benedictas, who was still recuperating.

Although the young pastor was absent from the last jousting tournament because of his cultivation, when he heard that the person who came was Roland Morning Song, who had helped him at that time, he still dragged his weak body to the side hall. After all, in a way, the High Elf could be regarded as his savior.
