Chapter 80

The Holy See of Light is a religion, a devout religion that believes in the goddess of light, at first glance, you may think that this is a big religion that gathers the people of the world, but in fact, it may be the most suitable for the Holy See to call a country, the number of people is widely distributed, there are many believers, and the faith is almost throughout the entire empire, with the support of strong manpower and material resources, this religion that should not be underestimated is firmly rooted in the continent of Iscent under the devout believers, like a tree planted in fertile land, thriving.

Because it is a religion with a long history, the branches established by the Holy See of Light are very extensive, just a small church for people to repent, there are tens of thousands on the mainland, not to mention those famous religious buildings, some ancient branch buildings of the Holy See of Light still exist in some countries on the mainland, it can be said that almost all countries inevitably have religious buildings of the Holy See of Light.

At the beginning, before the development of the race war, the Holy See of Light was just a rapidly developing new religion, without any military capabilities, only devout believers, so the nobles and His Majesty the King at that time did not care too much about this religion, on the contrary, some countries also used this religion to promote the culture of the state religion, it is so, this provided a very stable development environment for the Holy See of Light at that time, and the countries were busy with wars and had no time to take care of it, but the Holy See developed into a force that they could not fight, By the time they want to suppress this religion, and when it is too late, the Holy See will no longer be a tool that countries can use, but a super religion with strength comparable to that of a powerful country, fortunately, at that time, the Holy See did not have the ambition to dominate the continent, it was simply preaching doctrines, did not participate in any country's wars and help, and maintained a solitary style, so no country had no reason to send troops to resist, just be careful.

The City of Light, San Lorenzo, known as the City of Light, is the headquarters of the Holy See of Light, which governs all the branches of the Holy See on the continent, and is of the same importance as the Third Regional Stronghold of the Imperial Capital Bach.

The same by the sea, except that San Lorenzo is built on a mountain range near the sea, the whole city is completely bathed in sunlight, the scale is not as large as the imperial capital, but only the size of the third area, I don't know how much smaller than the imperial capital, but the first impression must be amazing and heartfelt shock, not inferior to the iconic buildings of the imperial capital.

The rolling green mountains, the huge rivers flowing at the foot of the mountains, the blue sky without any clouds and the blazing sun, a moat-like castle with a unique architectural style built on the seemingly steep mountains, the towering towers as high as the sky are neatly erected in the high walls of the moat in a symmetrical and beautiful posture, and the exquisite carvings with strong religious colors are presented on the walls and plain white windows of the towers, the most conspicuous is the white main hall in the center, shining with holy light, looking up from the foot of the mountain, It's impossible to look directly at that dazzling light.

To get to the top of the hill and reach San Lorenzo, you have to drive on the avenue built on the mountain, all the way to the top, which leads to the gates of San Lorenzo.

Part of the protruding mountain range is low, and the road starts from there, along one side of the mountain to San Lorenzo at the end of the mountain, because the whole mountain range is very high, the temperature is lower than the foot of the mountain, so the top layer of vegetation cover is very low, only low bushes and meadows, but because of this, you can look down on the vast landscape below the mountain range, and you can also see the imperial capital and birds in the distance.

"Wow! I see the imperial capital! Harry, Harry, look over there. The mischievous fellow of Althea refused to be at peace for a moment, lying in front of the window of the carriage, looking at the scenery outside and making a series of surprises, full of childish curiosity about these strange and beautiful surroundings.

The carriage travels on the road to San Lorenzo, on both sides of the road because of the low bush plants, from here you can see many unexpected beautiful scenery in the distance, between the low mountains there are well-developed rivers in all directions, climbing green tall trees all over the mountains, on the plains in the distance, with a little tender yellow crops growing in the open fields, when the breeze blows, it will bring a trend like a wave, like the wind blowing on the gentle water, under the cover of the sun, What a beautiful scene.

"Huh?! Oops! My flowers! As soon as Althea was not paying attention, her hair was ruffled by the wind blowing in from the wide open window, and the white flower that she wore on her head as an ornament was unfortunately blown away.

"Harry, put it on for me." Aisia said to Harry with her wind-blown green hair, because the white flower she used as an ornament was almost blown away by the strong wind pressure in front of the window, but Harry reacted quickly and grabbed the white flower that was about to be blown out with one hand and took it back.

Harry's black hair was also under the open window, and his hair was ruffled by the incoming wind, he didn't say anything, he reluctantly closed the window a little smaller, so that the incoming wind became smaller, and then approached Althea, and put the hand of the white flower on her head, and helped her put the delicate white flower back on from a downward angle.

"As I said just now, don't leave the windows that wide open, you really are." Harry looked at her with doting eyes as he helped her straighten up the messy hair on her head.

"Okay, as a princess of the Empire, you can't be undressed, you know?" Harry said in a serious tone as he watched her comb through Aisya's windswept hair.

"Harry, but your hair isn't messy, as a prince of the Empire, you can't look like this, I'll help you." Aisia smiled as she had succeeded in her plan and lunged straight at Harry.

"Huh?! Don't pounce! I'll just let you comb it. Harry hugged Althea as he threw himself backwards, and Harry let out a panicked sound.

"Meow" Harry let out a cry of displeasure as he carried the sleeping kitten, and Kalia, who sat across from her, smiled as she watched the two playing.

The distance between the imperial capital of Bach and the capital of light San Lorenzo is neither close nor far, and the distance between the two is like the upstream and downstream of a river, from the imperial capital to San Lorenzo, you have to pass through the plains, then to the mountains, and finally to the avenue of the mountains.

The building built on the high mountain range is undoubtedly very conspicuous, you can see from a distance, San Lorenzo, the capital of light, existed a long time ago, the specific year is unknown, and it is vaguely recorded in the history books that this was built by several famous architects at that time to participate in this construction project, it took countless years and countless expensive materials to build, it is said that all races at that time had participated in the construction of the project of the city of light, you can imagine how big the Holy See of light was at that time.

The participation of multiple races in the construction can be vaguely seen from the current bright capital, the cultures of the major races have been integrated into this glorious building, although the major races and cultures have now perished, but from this city, you can think of the prosperity of various races, who would have thought that the current continent will become the world of human beings, the world is hot and cold.

The city wall has always been a defensive building to defend the interior, no matter in any period, it has always appeared in the major cities with a strong and protective image, even to this day, the city wall is still a protective building valued by human beings, but the city wall did not appear in this place, but was replaced by many gorgeous pillars depicting religious culture.

Today's continent is no longer dominated by the major professions of magic and swordsmanship at that time, and the wars that have lasted for thousands of years have greatly promoted the development of military affairs, forming many new forces with diverse situations.

"The shield of the Kasha-o-O" is a large-scale magic protective array at the level of the city, which is a magic formula created by the thirty-ninth Pope of the Kasha-o, which is composed of thousands of magic protective arrays exclusive to the Holy See of Light, and with a special supply of magic as the driving center, it can continue to form a protective shield that completely covers the city, and it is said that it can prevent attacks of any level, after more than two hundred years, the protective shield of the City of Light has not been broken so far, and there has never been any failure, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the first protective array in the mainland.

It is precisely because of this protective array that San Lorenzo, the capital of light, will not consider building a city wall for protection, but will switch to another beautiful form, so when approaching the city, it will give people an incomparable shock to the soul, the kind of atmospheric and bold architectural beauty, not afraid of any attack of the building complex, revealing a kind of self-confidence.

Originally, the building that looked like a city wall from a distance was not a city wall, but a perimeter made of many columns of different forms, the distance between the adjacent pillars allowed the carriage to pass through the spacious, equivalent to the function of the gate, the clean and spotless stone brick floor, no shops, no lively people, the huge fountain in the center of the square sprayed with water columns, all the people who came here would unconsciously whisper, the attitude was modest, full of tranquility, maybe it could be said that this is a city where believers gather.

All the way to the main hall, soon arrived at the destination......

The protective array guarding the city of light is not only the function of defense, some functions to improve the living environment are also used together, the afternoon of summer is the hottest time, often can make people prostration, even if they hide in a dark corner, they will still be annoyed by the annoying hot air, and in San Lorenzo, the capital of light, this situation will not be at all, the cool wind blows through your body, taking away the annoying heat, the original scorching sun shines on the body, there is no sense of heat at all, on the contrary, it is a warm temperature, It makes people feel good.

To go to the main hall, there are also rules to observed, first of all, you can't do anything disrespectful to the goddess, such as coming to the main hall in a carriage, carrying weapons, etc., so in the middle of the drive, Harry and they stopped at a special parking space, handed over the carriage to the person in charge, and walked on this road called "Faith Road" by believers.

There are a total of four people now, Harry, Aisya, Kalia and the female knight Coria who is responsible for driving the carriage, as a real personal guard knight, because her outfit is too conspicuous, so at that time, Harry did not let her go with her, but let her stay in the carriage, after all, a person wearing mighty armor followed them, and the feeling of being watched was also very bad, but now the situation is different, out of the city, it is relative to out of the reserve, she has to fulfill her duties, Keep Harry and Althea safe.

Since the assassination accident six years ago, His Majesty the King, who is Harry's father, has left the knight squad that originally participated in the front line with Harry, and let them use them as compensation for the failure of the escort and Harry's personal guard to protect his safety, and as the strongest female knight in this team, Coria naturally became Harry's personal guard.

Of course, Harry also has a very wonderful feeling for her, not love, not hate, that kind of indescribable feeling since seeing her true face, can not make people calm, although she has never admitted it, has always maintained a denial, but Harry has always had a hunch that she must have something to do with her mother, there can be no such coincidence in the world.

Even if he has a lot of questions in his heart, these things can only be thought about in bedtime, now is not the time to care about these things, he still has many important things to accomplish, and there is no extra time for him to think so much.

Along the way, walking on this pure road, there are many interesting murals carved on the walls along the way, most of which tell the story of various races living happily together, briefly describing the happy times at that time, and the unbearable past, Harry patiently explained the story of these murals to the inquisitive Althea.

"Bishop Chard? How did you end up here? Harry looked at the man standing on the steps in a white robe with a red trim and said in a puzzled tone.

"Haha, there are some things that need to be dealt with, is His Highness going to the Holy Pool for baptism as usual?" The two walked side by side on the steps.

"Yes, the injury was not completely healed at that time, and there were faint signs of pain the day before yesterday."

"This kind of injury can only be slowly healed after a long time of holy water baptism, it is really hard Your Highness, and you have to come all the way from the empire."

"There's no such thing, the scenery along the way here is a rare beauty, how can it be said that it is hard, and it is almost the same to be able to relax."

"That's right, then, Your Highness Harry, I'll leave first."

"Goodbye, Bishop Chard."

The two chatted on the steps, and before they knew it, they had entered the main hall and came to the fork, and the two could only say goodbye to each other and walk towards the area they were heading to.

At this time, Harry was already alone, and everyone else was accompanying Althea, a little naughty, hoping that she wouldn't cause anything, Harry thought as he walked.

The main hall of San Lorenzo, the capital of light, is not an area that ordinary people can enter, only the relevant clergy and those who have permission can enter, and Harry belongs to the latter, a special existence that is not a clergyman but can enter the sacred pool of the heavy land, and has the magic power of not a believer, but the attribute of light.

Generally speaking, only humans who are favored by the goddess or believers will get this light attribute, and both of these people will become the mainstay of the Holy See of Light, but Harry is different, he is not a believer in the goddess himself, why does he have the magic of this light attribute? It is possible for the Celebrarian to possess such magic except for the Celebrarian's patron, excluding the former possibility, and Harry has been confirmed to be the Patron of the Oracle.
