Chapter 40: Praise of Light

......

"What, lead to heaven?"

One by one, the believers' eyes widened in disbelief.

The civilians who were still muttering to themselves just now lost their voices like ducks choked by their throats.

Even the faces of the cavalrymen, who were full of admiration, were blank for a moment.

For a moment, not a single person in the entire square spoke, and it was so quiet that a pin could be heard.

However, just a moment later, the believers around the altar reacted violently, and instantly erupted in earth-shattering cheers.

Those who can squeeze around the altar are the most devout believers. They will be shocked and incredulous at Catherina's words, but they will never question it.

Her Highness said that God would bring the martyrs into heaven, and that must be true.

What does this mean? It means that the God of Light is watching over them from heaven all the time, that God can see their piety, their efforts. What could be more exciting?

Hearing the cheers of the believers in front of them, the other non-believers woke up from a dream.

"Oh my God~!I heard you right, right? She just said that she went to heaven, and she wants to lead these martyrs to heaven? My God......"

Those who had not yet recovered from the shock and shock covered their mouths, glared at them, kept repeating meaningless interjections in their mouths, and had expressions that were still out of condition.

The civilians, who were a little calmer, couldn't help but talk about each other.

"To heaven? is it unlikely, isn't it? How do I remember that only the Pope, the Holy Maiden, and the most devout ascetics are qualified to be taken to heaven after death?" An old man who knew a little about the history of the Holy See had a confused expression, as if he wanted to believe it, but he didn't dare to believe it.

"I don't think it's likely to be true. A middle-aged man next to him who was wearing a linen robe and looked a little like him spoke more politely, "How can it be so easy to go to heaven? What's more, it's still a matter of whether that one is still there~ I think this is a gimmick, just to fool you people who still have illusions about the gods, so as to establish prestige." ”

The old man didn't think so, and couldn't help but retort: "What if it's true?"

Elsewhere in the crowd, a young man with a proud expression was also whispering to his friends: "This so-called Holy Maiden of Light really doesn't know what to do, and she really does everything to strengthen people's hearts, and she even dares to tell such a ridiculous lie." I'm not afraid that I won't be able to fool and lose face in public. ”

He looked at the altar with disdain in his eyes, as if he had already understood the facts, and waited for Catherina to make a fool of himself in public.

But his friends didn't dare to answer.

Although the fact that God wants to lead the martyrs to heaven is too much like a sugar-coated cannonball to be believed, just now this person also swore that Her Highness would not dare to burn Lord Gangdeyar, and in the end it turned out that Her Highness was not lying.

If this time it is true, they answer at this time, don't they slap themselves in the face? It doesn't matter if he is thick-skinned, they still want to have face.

In the Kingdom of God, Wu Hui's gaze wandered over the faces with different expressions in the crowd, listening to the sound of words coming through the screen, and finally converging into an indistinguishable noise, and the expression on his face was a little strange.

He found that slapping the face was really addictive.

At first, when he heard these people's doubts, he was still angry, but now he is not angry at all. Not only was he not angry, but he really wanted to see what the expressions of these people would be when they actually saw the gates of heaven open.

Especially those who were particularly firm in tone and spoke in particularly bad content, he especially wanted to see how wonderful the expressions on their faces would be when they regretted it.

He felt like he was pretty nasty.

However, since these people have to say what they say, they have to bear the consequences? People always have to pay for what they do.

Of course, compared with the beginning, there are actually a lot fewer voices of doubt, and most of the people in the square still have disbelief on their faces that "how could such a big pie really hit us".

In fact, the pie is too big, and I was stunned, and I was afraid that I was just happy in the air, so I was skeptical and didn't dare to believe it.

It's human nature, and he doesn't care about it.

His gaze swept around the square, and he couldn't help but adjust the perspective of the Eye of God to see the knights and cavalry at the edge of the square.

He had noticed these six people just now.

There is no way, these six people are not only tall, but their temperament is completely different from the civilians around them, and it is difficult for him not to notice.

Moreover, the focus of these people's attention is not the same as that of ordinary civilians, especially the middle-aged knight in the lead, who seems to be more rational and intelligent than the other cavalry, he can't help but pay a little more attention.

When the Eye of God turned around, several of the cavalrymen were discussing in a low voice.

"I'm a little unconvinced. One of the cavalrymen muttered in a low voice, "It is a great honor for believers to ascend to heaven after death. If this is true, those believers will not be crazy in the future? Even if there is a sea of swords and fires in front of them, they will probably be able to rush forward without their lives. ”

The other cavalryman couldn't help but nodded: "I think so too." As the saying goes, 'those who are afraid of the horizontal do not die', although the combat effectiveness of these soldiers in the Holy See may not be as good as ours, but with this equipment, it is not much worse, if you use that kind of lifeless fighting, it will be terrible~ I don't know if Viscount Connor can parry it, anyway, we will definitely not be able to parry. ”

"Don't talk about parrying, just thinking about it makes me feel hairy. ”

As a few people talked, they couldn't help but turn their heads to look at the middle-aged knight Horn who was the leader, and looked forward to seeking approval: "Master, you said yes, right?"

"It's hard to say now, let's take a look~"

Horn's expression was still calm, but there were stormy waves in his slightly narrowed eyes, which made his expression unconsciously stiff.

Listening to his subordinates' discussions, he finally realized what was wrong.

It's the god of light.

He has been ignoring the existence of the God of Light. Or it can't be said to be neglected, but habitually not thought about it.

After all, the God of Light has not performed miracles for decades, and the Holy See of Light has been in decline for a long time, and even His Majesty the Emperor directly announced that the God of Light has fallen, and he, like many people, habitually regards the existence of the God of Light as a legend.

Even if Catherina appeared in the name of the Holy See of Light, out of habitual thinking, he didn't think of this point at all for a while, as if you wouldn't think that the heroes of historical biography would appear in real life.

But what if He did return?

If He does return, then there is an explanation for all the irrationalities.

Horn was straight, staring at the altar without blinking. Now, just look at what Her Highness will do next, and you will know if his guess is correct.

In the Kingdom of God, Wu Hui looked at Horn's reaction and had some doubts in his heart.

This expression...... He couldn't have guessed the truth, right? If that's the case, then it's interesting~

While Wu Hui was thinking, on the other side, Catherina didn't care how much shock her words caused, and after announcing it, she turned around and knelt down in front of the idol, holding the silver cross on her chest with both hands, and singing the hymn - Praise of Light.

"Praise be to my lord......"

Melodious, ethereal chanting resounded on the altar and gradually drifted across the square.

Instantaneous.

A powerful and pure light burst from the altar and soared into the sky!

In the square, everyone stopped talking and looked up in shock.
