Chapter 32: The Baptism of Heavenly Song and the Disaster of Innocence
The silver-masked female knight did not take the words of Her Royal Highness, but just pressed her long sword in her hand and continued to maintain the vigilant posture that a guard knight should have.
"Lord Artest, you see, the inhabitants of Silver Tide City are still very religious!"
Seeing that her dear guard knight did not answer, Her Highness couldn't help but feel a little bored, and said to a knight on the left side of the carriage wearing a black cloak and a black ring, as if he was hiding in the shadow of the carriage, "You and your night watchman seem to have frightened our devout believers just now!"
"Praise be to your mercy, Your Highness!"
The knight in the shadows bowed slightly, and said in a low voice: "Divine grace is like the sea, divine power is like hell! You are the light of salvation that the Lord has given to the world, representing the mercy of the Lord." But under the light there will be shadows, and it is our duty as the night watchmen to guard the long night of darkness for the Lord, to purify all the unclean, the rebels, the blasphemers, and the hypocrites, and to cleanse all aliens and heresies, so that the world may feel the majesty of the Lord and return to the right way of the Lord!"
Saying this, the knight in the shadows raised his head slightly, and his eagle-like gaze swept sharply over everyone on both sides of the street, as if the beast at the top of the food chain was picking its prey, and said slowly: "This city has been peaceful for too long, knights and nobles are corrupted in pleasure, merchants and commoners are corrupted in prosperity, and too much evil has been bred in the darkness!"
"Moreover, in the past fifty years, there have been too many mages who have come out of this city, and if they are not purified as soon as possible, I am afraid that a terrifying figure like the blood mage Trod who brought bloody natural disasters to the continent will be born again!"
"Since it's to be purified, then it's up to me to purify!"
Her Highness blinked her eyes, showed a playful smile, and said, "One inspiration and baptism must be enough to expose many unclean believers, so there is no need for you to make a big move, Lord Artest!"
As she spoke, Her Highness clasped her hands together and quickly recited a series of incantations in a very pious gesture of prayer: "Lord, entrust yourself to ......."
Suddenly, all of them were shocked to see that their goddess was majesticly holding her arms high, and endless dazzling holy light was converging in her closed palms!
A halo of holiness spread out from the body of the Holy Maiden, and the solemn and sacred appearance made it impossible to look at directly, making most people feel that they had lowered their noble heads.
Unconsciously, everything in heaven and earth has been smeared with a faint layer of milky white!
High in the sky, milky white clouds rushed madly from all directions, forming a huge cloud vortex above the head of the Holy Maiden.
Suddenly, from a very distant place in the sky, there was a loud trumpet sound, as if thousands of trumpets sounded in unison, white saints fell from the sky, the petals condensed by the holy light fell like rain, and an angel with six wings on his back appeared in the huge cloud whirlpool, as if opening the door to heaven, sprinkling angelic blessings on the world.
The cleansing hymn resounded in the void, and the angels who had gone out of heaven became one with the holy women on earth, pouring out the blessed light that washed away all impurity and filth.
A white line of water appeared, quickly spreading the entire street, the entire neighborhood, and the entire Silver Tide City.
Believers who are illuminated by the Holy Light only feel a divine light passing through their souls without hindrance, and all kinds of different feelings of fear, panic, and hesitation hit people's hearts, and then they are gently wiped away, and a sense of tranquility, serenity, and happiness arises spontaneously, making everyone feel as if their souls have been completely washed by the Holy Light and have been reborn.
"Praise you, Holy Maiden of Heavenly Song!"
"You are the embodiment of mercy, you are the radiance of salvation!"
"The Holy Maiden of Heavenly Song, holy and beautiful, shining with brilliant light, shining on the earth......"
The excited believers burst into tears, involuntarily singing hymns in praise of the Holy Maiden of Heavenly Songs, and bowed down to the glorious embodiment in their hearts.
In the blink of an eye, the entire street, the entire block, and the entire Silver Tide City were all on their knees, and only a few people were standing.
Then, Karl was very embarrassed to find that beside him, unconsciously, he fell to his knees, and even the soldiers of Silver Dawn, who maintained order, were all armed with spears and half-knelt.
Only him and little Lucy, who looked panicked and a little at a loss, were still standing straight, how eye-catching and eye-catching they were in a crowd of kneeling people.
The Heavenly Song Saintess turned around again, revealing a rather playful smile.
And the big man of the Inquisition in the shadows also noticed Carl and Little Lucy standing like a crowd, and his eyes suddenly sharpened, and his scrutinizing eyes fell on Carl and Little Lucy, and he left for a long time.
The cold sweat on Carl's back suddenly broke out, a sense of danger that a frog was being targeted by natural enemies, a cold feeling that seemed to be standing naked in the ice and snow, made him involuntarily tense his body, and he didn't dare to move!
After a long time, when the carriage was gradually moving away and the knight in the shadows looked away, Karl suddenly seemed to be halfway back to the world from hell, and took a big gulp of fresh air.
"It's scary, it's scary!"
Like Carl, little Lucy was also sweating all over, looking like she had just come to life, and said fearfully: "What kind of person is that, the eyes are so scary!"
"It's the night watchman of the Inquisition!"
Carl couldn't help but smile bitterly, it was really sitting behind closed doors, and disaster came from heaven.
He just glanced at the frame of the saint's arrival, and neither raised the rebellious ambition that he could replace him, nor did he have the lust and courage of the ordinary traverser Long Aotian who was happy to see the hunting heart and must include the saint in the harem, just because he didn't kneel down with everyone, he was targeted by the big man in the inquisition, which was really a bit of a disaster.
You must know that whether it is the earth world or this world, the Inquisition is a terrorist institution with a great reputation for being a child crying at night. Once they target and locate the suspected heretic, it will definitely not end well.
"Night's watchman?"
Little Lucy's face turned pale and she was about to cry. As a girl who grew up listening to the murderous name of the inquisition, she just knew that she had been stared at by a night watchman at the inquisition for so long, and she didn't cry on the spot, she was already very strong.
"Don't worry, it's not like before!"
Although he was also quite apprehensive in his heart, Carl still made an unchanged appearance and comforted little Lucy: "More than a thousand years have passed since the dark millennium, and now is no longer the era when the Inquisition is dominant? Don't you see, now the burning of witches in the Inquisition must be carried out with the consent of the local lord! We are all innocent people, and we are not evil witches, heretics, don't be afraid!"
However, after listening to Carl's comforting words, little Lucy's face couldn't help but turn a little pale, because in all kinds of folklore, the inquisition is not a reasonable place, and those who are arrested by the inquisition, whether they are really innocent or not, are finally burned at the stake!
