Chapter 62

The dark golden carriage of dusk drove through the streets, surrounded by the usual knights in armoured horses, and there were far fewer pedestrians on the streets, people going back to their homes, black smoke rising from the chimneys of the houses beside the road, and it was time for dinner.

Inside the carriage, because there was no curtain to cover it, the orange sun shone in, not as hot and dazzling as at noon, nor the warm sunshine in the morning, only a little warmth, between the scorching and warm feeling, Kira sat by the window and enjoyed the scene outside the window, let the light of the setting sun shine on her face, Kalia sat next to her, the same was also illuminated by the sun, the whole carriage inside can be said to be sunny, the breeze poured in through the window, blowing the hair of everyone in the car, Kalia also looked out of Harry's window, looking out at the landscape, while General Bit, who sat in the middle across from him, closed his eyes and rested.

"Sister Kalia, what is your relationship with General Bit? You seem to know him very well. Suddenly, Kira's voice broke the silence in the carriage, and Kira, with her black hair fluttering on her forehead, turned her head to Kalia who was looking out the window.

"I have nothing to do with him, so don't think about it." Kalia reacted, saw Kira's curious look, pinched his little face and said.

"But don't you know him very well. Even his strange hobby of drinking tea is known. Kira said with her face pinched.

"Of course, Your Highness, because she is my own sister, and she doesn't know me, who knows me." At this time, Bit also opened his eyes and said proudly with his chest hugged.

"No, I'm just your distant cousin, please pay attention." Kalia said lightly, her short snow-white hair fluttering in the wind.

"Even so, you and I are family." Bit said, looking into her blue eyes.

"Whatever you want." After Kalia said this lightly, she held the snow-white short hair scattered in front of her forehead to her ear, and looked at the window on Kira's side without speaking.

Seeing her like this, Bit sighed helplessly, Jila smiled faintly, didn't say anything anymore, and continued to look at the pedestrians passing by, brother and sister, Jila muttered, she really didn't expect that since the two had such a relationship, the carriage would fall into calm again.

The white marble building located under the dusk has a dreamy beauty, from the front, the high spires on both sides of the building are perfectly symmetrical, the rectangular white elegant wooden door is inlaid in the front door, the Templars in silver armor are holding silver spears to guard the door, this white building is about ten meters high, about thirty or forty meters long, about twenty meters wide, far away from this bustling street, the white church is built in the depths of a garden, there is a forest path that leads to this white church, The white church stands on a white, spotless dozen steps, the walls of the church have no superfluous decorations, nor any heavy colored patterns, simplicity and whiteness are the theme of this building, only the symbol representing the bright church is engraved above the gate.

The symbol of the Holy See of Light is based on the belief in the light of the light, the light comes from the light of the sun, the breeding of all things in the world and the prosperity of human beings are derived from the light, it can be said that without light, there is no race in this world and all things in the world, in addition to the human beings as the main faith group, the principles of the Holy See of Light are freedom, equality and fraternity, so this pattern is based on the sun, divided into three circles to represent these three criteria, three circles into a triangle shape, indicating mutual restraint and equality, In addition, the magic of the light attribute is usually pale gold, so the images are all pale gold, and the last one is fraternity.

Legend has it that the goddess of light is a very loving god, and she also loves creatures that are not humans, so in order not to make the pattern too monotonous, the circle added the civilization symbols of various races, but because of the racial war thousands of years ago, humanity has won, and other races have been reduced to slaves and applied to various fields, but their civilization has long since died, so the Holy See of Light also conforms to the trend of the times, and the Holy See of Light has eliminated the extinct civilizations in the original pattern, leaving only the symbol that belongs to human beings, It represents the flame of human civilization.

The carriage was parked in front of the steps, and the knight at the head of the carriage also prepared the steps in time to come down, and then respectfully opened the door and let them come down.

"Oh, the church is as beautiful as ever." Kira got out of the carriage and stood in front of the white steps, looking at the building in front of her and sighing, a conspicuous building in the quiet woods.

"Indeed, no matter how many times, the church is a place where people look for salvation and spiritual comfort." Then Kalia continued.

"Cut." The last bit looked at the white church in front of him and cut it disdainfully, he really didn't have much affection for this building.

"Let's go." Kira slowly walked up the white steps, but then Bit spoke.

"Your Highness, you haven't told them what to do, don't you want them to go in with you? I don't mind at all, though. Bit called out to Kira, who was on the top of the steps.

The church is a very sacred place, it does not belong to any country or organization, but it has special rights that other empires do not have, the privilege of inviolability and malicious damage, the destruction of any building about the Holy See of Light can be said to be a declaration of war against the church, it can also be said to be a provocation to the majesty of God, the consequences can be imagined, it can almost be said that the continent is almost full of churches of the Holy See of Light, and the number of churches of faith has also reached a very terrifying level, the total population of the mainland accounts for about two-fifths, although only two-fifths of the number, But this is undoubtedly very powerful, there are also religions that believe in other gods on the mainland, but the number is not as large as the old-school Bright Church, and some gods can have 10,000 believers Very good, as the first religion in the continent, it has a strong people's foundation, and the Bright Church has never been afraid of any country.

Naturally, there are many restrictions on the majesty of the church, such as the fact that people with dangerous weapons are not allowed to enter the church...... If there is a violator, and after the persuasion of the clergy, he does not repent, in the worst case, the Holy See of Light will strictly prohibit him from entering any facilities related to the church, and he will not be able to enjoy any divine favors, and in serious cases, he may be tried by the Holy See and burned at the stake by heretics.

"Sorry, I forgot." Ji La looked back at him and smiled helplessly, really, since he forgot such an important thing, after a long time, he would really forget.

"You just stay by the carriage and don't have to come in with me, understand?" Kira turned to the armored knights who had dismounted at the foot of the steps, and said, although the voice was still immature, neither high nor low, but it had an inexplicable momentum.

"Understood, Sixth Highness." The Armored Knights placed an iron hand on their chests, leaned forward, and bowed their heads slightly and respectfully returned, these Armored Knights were already very eye-catching, and this majestic answer and the formation in a line attracted the close attention of the Templars guarding the door.

"Now we can go, right?" Kira said with a smile as she looked at Bit.

"Of course." Bit smiled back at the top of the steps and walked up the steps, he really didn't expect this kid to say quite well, he couldn't see that this guy was the first time, that kind of momentum, interesting.

Kalia looked at Kira walking on the steps, and her heart became more and more uneasy, is he really Harry like this? She remembered what Harry had said to herself at that time, shook her head self-deprecatingly, and followed, she was really, she had already said that she would believe him at that time, why did she regret it at this time.

The three of them followed the steps to the door of the church, and Bit walked in front of him, pushing open the door, and the interior of the church was presented to everyone.

What is light, some people say it is hope, some people say it is peace, some people say it is salvation, everyone has a different understanding of light, but one thing is worth affirming, this must be a place full of light, giving people warmth and inner peace.

Orange light shone in through the windows at either end of the top wall, and a faint halo shone on the empty seats, which were lined up on either side of the doorway, almost the entire hall, and a path leading to the door split the seats in two, leaving a path to the prayer table.

The prayer table, that is, the place where a sculpture is placed, the goddess of light enshrined and served by the Holy See of Light.

The sculpture is more than three meters high, carved from a whole piece of white marble, wearing a wreath made of flowers, a beautiful long hair draped on the back, the hair on the forehead is surrounded by a wreath, a beautiful suffocating face, wearing a white veil, her hands are clenched in front of her chest, her eyes are closed, as if she is praying for something, although it is only a stone sculpture, but the details are handled very well, and from a distance it gives people the illusion that she is still alive.

Many fresh white flowers are enshrined in this beautiful sculpture, and with the surrounding orange halo, it is beautiful like a painting.

"Pain will be removed by the light forever, hope will be sown in your heart, take root and sprout, may you be surrounded by the warmth of this world, not in sorrow, not in pain, may the light always be with you."

A very solemn ceremony is also being held under the sculpture, a gentle man in a white robe is praying for sacred blessings in his mouth, carrying a white dictionary, and his slightly open hands exude a pale green, life-filled light, these green lights slowly merge into the man kneeling in front of the sculpture and praying silently, at this time his face is very pale, is bloodless.

Under the holy light, the originally pale man showed a comfortable expression on his face, the pale face slowly had a healthy blood color, and after a while, the whole person looked like he was several years younger, and the few wrinkles on his forehead disappeared without a trace, and the man was surprised to notice that the disease that had tormented his body for several years was gone, and the pain did not come, but was replaced by a long-lost peace, and the illness that had plagued him for many years was cured, and when he thought of this, he shed tears of gratitude, and kept thanking the priest in front of him, The priest smiled slightly, helped him up, and said a comforting word, signaling that he didn't have to do this, that this was what they should do.

After sending the grateful man away, the priest came to the three of them and politely asked, "May I ask you, is there anything I can do to help you?" ”

"We're here to find the Pope, and the Pope must have been informed in advance." Kira replied.

"Oh, it's you, please come with me." The priest suddenly came to his senses and led the group to the backyard behind the sculpture.

So the three of them followed the priest to the corridor leading to the back court, which is a corridor, but unlike the outside, the walls on both sides are carved with lifelike comic murals, from the door to the end of the door, the length is about ten meters, this painting is really magnificent, the story carved on the mural is similar to the war of a certain era, the man in the sacred armor wields a sharp sword, shouts and leads the crowd to rush to those ugly monsters, the battlefield is full of corpses, rivers of blood, there are humans, there are monsters, Flags fluttered over these corpses, smoke filled the air, and flames of death were everywhere.

"Intrigued?" The priest who was walking in front stopped, turned his head, and said to Kira, who was staring at the murals, and the priest had noticed Kira's curiosity from just now.

"No, I'm just curious who they won in the end." Kira said, staring at the carved murals on the walls.

"Of course it's human, and the forces of evil will never be able to defeat the light that represents justice." The priest said, looking at the mural.

"Is it bright? Evil cannot overcome such light, and they are doomed. Kira muttered her hand and stroked the mural carved into the wall.

"Where are we going?" Kira asked, following the priest as they walked through an outer hallway, with a pool of water in the center and a fountain in the center, spraying the flying water.

"Where His Holiness the Pope commands." The nuns who passed by smiled and greeted them, and the priest in front of them smiled back at the female priests.

"Where is the command?" Kira also smiled at the nuns who passed by, which was the most basic courtesy.

After making their way through the hallway, they finally came to a semicircular gate with two Templars guarded by them, and when they could see them, they looked like a heavy place.

"Alright, you can go in." The priest turned back to Kira.

"But no one else is allowed to enter, only he can enter, please forgive me, this is the Pope's order." The priest said apologetically to the two men behind Kira.

"Hey, what does that old fox mean, if something happens to him, can he take it?!" Bit said unhappily, and came to the priest to question him menacingly.

"It hurts! Tap! Tap! I don't dare anymore, Kalia. Bit's ears were twisted by Kalia's hand, and he made a sound begging for mercy.

"This is a church, not a place for you to go wild." Kalia said angrily, this guy is like this every time, he knows that he is causing trouble for everyone, and I really don't understand how he became the general of the empire.

"Okay, just listen to the priest, you just wait outside, I'll go in first." Kira said, and walked leisurely to the door ahead.

The Templar at the door opened the door for Kira, allowing him to enter.

"Everyone, please come with me first, the waiting time may be a bit long, let's find a place to rest first." The priest smiled and made a gesture of please to the door on the other side.
