Chapter 143: Eulogies and Hymns

"I can't be like this, I have to change my thinking, otherwise I will become a member of the Holy See if I don't get revenge. ”

After dinner, Alan sat in the room and said a little depressed, and everyone else was there.

"I don't think we had any ideas at all, it was pure luck. ”

Elvis, who was originally full of confidence, also felt that the current situation was not the way to go, and he was exhausted in the past few days, and felt that his leg was about to break.

"Uncle Allen, I remember that Master Thorne said that the arrow was a stainless steel arrowhead, and the cost was very high, and half of the people couldn't afford to use it at all, so I don't think the identity of the person we are looking for is definitely not too low, even if it is a guard, it must be a very high-level guard, maybe it is Bishop Dennis's personal guard. ”

Harvey, who had never spoken, suddenly said with a move in his heart.

Bishop Dennis in Harvey's mouth is the head of the Diocese of Lua under the Great Diocese of Higg under the jurisdiction of the Holy See, and the diocese of Lua covers a large area, almost most of the eastern part of Higg belongs to it, in fact, during the civil strife in Higg, the areas conquered by the Bols rebels are all there, and Dennis also participated in the missionary work in eastern Hig as an assistant bishop at that time. At that time, the situation in the east of Higg was very chaotic, although the Bols rebels had been greatly injured after the defeat of Marin Pass, but they were not vulnerable, and they still had the strength to fight, so when many priests of the same level in the Holy See were reluctant to go because of concerns about safety, only Dennis stepped forward, and he lived up to expectations, taking advantage of the urgent need of physical and mental comfort for the people after the war, the faith of the Holy See laid a solid foundation in the east of Higg, and it was precisely because of this that he was appreciated by Des Hepburn, and after he served as an assistant bishop for only a year, he was promoted to official bishop, becoming the second person under Raphael in the diocese of Hig。 It can be said that it is a rising political star in the Holy See.

"Harvey has a point, the murderer is likely to be someone close to Dennis, but as the highest-ranking head of the Holy See in Lua City, how can Dennis meet him?"

Alan nodded and said solemnly. The Holy See has always attached great importance to the security of bishops at all levels, and all clergy above the bishop level must be equipped with high-level swordsman-level guards, especially in areas such as eastern Higg, where horse bandits are rampant, and Bishop Dennis's security work will only be higher, so Harvey's guess is very reasonable, it is very likely that the five murderers will stay by Bishop Dennis's side.

"Brother-in-law, the Lua Church has a rule, they have a Mass every Sunday, and a big Mass is held every month, when the Bishop comes out to meet with the faithful, but this meeting is only a formality, and the Bishop takes a carriage around the central square. But after the event, the bishop will personally meet with some of the faithful. And this Sunday happens to be the time of the Great Mass. ”

Steven suddenly interjected.

"Steven, how do you know so much when you're staying at home?"

Stanny asked curiously.

"What the owner said while chatting with the innkeeper. ”

Steven said perfunctorily that in fact, all this information was collected by Quake and others.

This information is very useful to us, and it is best to be received by the bishop so that all the people around him can be seen. Did the innkeeper say what conditions are met for believers to be received by the bishop?"

Alan said.

"Anyone who donates more than 500 gold coins to the Church will be received by the bishop. ”

Steven further explained. But what they don't know is that this is almost the practice adopted by the Holy See in all diocesan church organizations, donating to the Holy See can not only get this honor of being received, but even when the amount of donation is enough, you can also get a knighthood, of course, the Holy See claims that these donations will be used to help the poor, but in fact, part of it goes to the treasury of the Holy See, and the other part is used for the expenses of the Church, and only a small part will be used for good deeds, and the cathedral of the Lua Church was built on this donation.

"In that case, we will arrange it right away, and there are only two days until Sunday. ”

Since there was a way to meet Bishop Dennis, there was no hesitation, and Alan arranged it almost immediately. The next day, Elvis took Harvey around to try his luck, and Alan took Steven to the donation office in the square.

"Sir Levins, you are truly the most devout of the God of Light, and your generosity is the most faithful expression of God, and the light of God will always shine on you. ”

When Alan told the priest in charge of the donation box that he was going to donate five hundred gold coins, the pastor's smiling face immediately turned into a blooming flower.

"Your Excellency, it is the duty of every believer to honor God. ”

Alan said with a pretense of humility.

"If everyone could think of your Excellency like this, then the world would be full of abundance and peace. ”

The priest drew a cross on his chest and said in a reverent tone.

"I've heard that if you donate more than 500 gold coins, you can get an audience from Bishop Dennis. ”

Steven asked, handing the purse containing five hundred gold coins to the priest.

"Of course, the Bishop Church personally awarded you the medal of the Ambassador of Love. ”

The priest had a clear smile on his face, and no longer talking nonsense, but directly handed a silver badge to Steven, and said:

"Take it, and on Sunday morning, when the bishop has seen the faithful in the square, he will receive you alone. ”

"Thank you, Your Excellency. ”

Alan took the badge and said goodbye to the priest, and after a night of waiting, he came back to the square the next day, at this time the square had already gathered a large number of believers, the square was crowded, there were thousands of people, and the believers were still pouring in from all directions, and soon the whole square would be crowded, but although there were many people, the order was very good, and everyone was facing the direction of the church, keeping quiet.

From a distance, Alan could faintly see a man in a slender white robe standing on the balcony on the top floor of the church, facing the direction of the square, and shouting loudly:

"May the gods of light be with you. ”

The voice of the white-robed man came out from afar, and the people in the entire square could hear it clearly.

"Be with your heart too. ”

The crowd in the square answered in unison, setting off a wave of sound that reached the sky.

"Lift your heart up. ”

The voice of the white-robed man continued to echo over the entire city.

"We turn to God with all our hearts. ”

The voices of the believers were louder, and the waves even blew away the clouds in the sky.

"Thank you to the Lord and our God. ”

The white-robed man raised his hands to the sky.

"Almighty God of Light, your radiance fills the heavens and the earth. ”

The people in the square followed suit, and when the eulogy was finished, everyone began to sing hymns, and at the same time, there were bursts of deafening bells above the church, which were intertwined with the hymns to form a strange melody, which made Alan feel that the sound was not coming from outside, but was originally generated in his own mind, and even resonated with him. The pain seems to be dispelled by the melody of the hymn, and eventually all is transformed into worship and praise of God, which evaporates into the sky with others.
