Chapter 48: The Bells
"When, when, when", the slow bell rang in the distance, the bell was low, one after another, one after another, like a heavy giant hammer, striking in the heart of everyone who could hear it.
Yes, everyone who can hear it, because not everyone can hear the bells, even if they are in an adjacent position.
Anyone can hear that it is a disturbance, because it is the bell from the temple of the gods, a summoning order that only the clergy can hear.
The heavy bell uses faith as a medium, crosses the boundaries of space, crosses the barriers of the world, and quickly spreads into the heart of every priest, no matter where they are, no matter what they are doing, every priest hears this continuous ringing of bells.
The atmosphere fell silent in an instant.
Originally, the atmosphere in the box was quite warm, but since disasters began to befall Pavatiga frequently, it is difficult for the Rose Capital, no, it should be said that the whole of Pavatiga, can hardly feel such a warm atmosphere anymore.
The century-old Rose & Wine is the most famous and expensive restaurant in the Rose Capital, from a tavern with only two tables in the past, it took 460 years to develop into a five-storey high, covering an area of nearly half a square kilometer, integrating catering, accommodation and entertainment.
The food here is famous throughout the Kola Kingdom, the princes and nobles of many countries are served here, and the upper leaders of various ethnic groups live here, so to speak, in the City of Roses, it is already a status symbol to have the privilege of enjoying a sumptuous dinner in it, and the vast majority of people, even if they have enough money, do not have this opportunity in their lifetime.
Although they have lived in the Rose City for so many years, the members of the Darkmoon Church have never eaten in roses and wine, as the servants of the true gods, as long as Shur or Lisa comes forward, of course there is no problem in terms of qualifications, well, the problem is that there is no money, and when there is money, the habit has been formed, and no one thinks of coming here to meet the expectations of the past.
Therefore, when Shul announced that he was going to bring everyone here for dinner, the people of the church were even stunned and did not react for a while, but it only took a few seconds for a group of people to burst into cheers, the sound was so noisy and terrifying that it could even be called deafening, and I am afraid that even the children in the school were alarmed, and if they knew what was going on outside, it was estimated that they would not be able to attend the whole afternoon class.
"Moria, put that drum down, it's temple property, it's broken to accompany you. Expressionless to stop the source of the deafening, Shuer set off with a group of goddesses' attendants, heading straight for the roses and wine in the city center, as for some strange people in the team who don't know why, such as the provost of a certain school, a certain artificial intelligence and the like, forget it, or just ignore it.
In the past, it was not easy to eat in the rose and wine room, especially the luxuriously decorated private rooms, even if they were expensive, they were overcrowded every day, and it was necessary to reserve a seat at least ten days in advance, but ...... Since the disaster struck, most people seem to have lost interest in public places overnight, preferring to stay at home rather than cluttered public places, and although the chances of a disaster are no different, those who can eat in roses and wine will have enough emergency supplies and safety measures at home, which is much safer than outside.
As a result, the performance of roses and sake plummeted, and the number of customers received every day was probably less than one percent, and as for the private rooms, they were often left unpatronized for several days in a row, and if it were not for the owner's desire to maintain the reputation of the century-old restaurant, I am afraid that it would have been closed long ago. This is cheaper for Shuer and his party, and they don't need to make a reservation at all, and they can enjoy the top exclusive service of roses and wine. Yes, there is only one box in the entire restaurant that is in use, and the service is of course attentive.
Unfortunately, this top-notch exclusivity didn't last long, well, until another group of guests showed up.
Not long after everyone sat down in the box, they heard a commotion outside, accompanied by the waiter's repeated apologies, the door of the box was pushed open, and the moment the door was pushed open, Shul and Lisa made the same action - covering their eyes.
It's so dazzling, my eyes don't flicker anymore, and I'm going to cry.
"Bastard, I've said it countless times, it's silver-gray, silver-gray, do you understand? And it's fabric, it's not reflective at all, it's not dazzling, besides, it's indoors, damn it, where does the sun sting your eyes, you brothers and sisters did it on purpose, it must be on purpose. ”
There is no doubt that the archbishop of the Silver Moon Temple, the powerful Lord Angela, appeared in the box at the right time, and as soon as she appeared, she used a high volume to announce her existence, without the slightest consciousness of breaking into other people's boxes, as for why she suddenly came here, heh, who knows. However, a few temple priests who followed behind her nodded to the group of the Dark Moon Temple with a wry smile, but there was no apology, similar things will happen every three days, everyone is used to it, if you want to apologize, it is better to wait for the end of the month to count the number of both sides, and then decide which party should take the initiative to apologize this month.
As a result, the small party that originally belonged to the Temple of the Dark Moon has now become a banquet for the Two Moon Sisters, and with Angela joining, the hustle and bustle of the atmosphere has increased exponentially, and the appearance of the silver girl has made Lisa, who was already quite happy, fall into a state of excitement, and the form of manifestation ...... Well, who's going to help pull away the two fools with a vindictive forehead on their foreheads, you are the first person under the throne of the gods, so that the believers will not even be able to cry when they see you stupid.
However, it can be seen that in the past three years of sleep, the relationship between the two churches has become more and more harmonious, just like the relationship between the two archbishops (???), especially the six children adopted by the church, and several acolytes and priests of the Silver Moon Temple are very familiar, it is said that the Silver Moon Temple will occasionally secretly send the potential but underage devout believers in the church to study in the school of Dark Moon, well, it is really secret, no one has found out, and everyone pretends not to know.
The waiter in the restaurant is worthy of being professionally trained, and when he saw this situation, he didn't need to explain at all, so he took the initiative to arrange the two groups of guests together and changed to a larger box, for which the archbishop of Yinyue was quite dissatisfied, but seeing that the waiter who made up his own ideas was so pitiful, forget it, he reluctantly sat with this group of nasty guys for a while.
However, just as everyone was waiting for the long-awaited delicacy to appear, almost everyone was stunned at the same time.
Yes, the vast majority of those present heard the bell from the Temple of the Gods.
