Chapter 35: The Might of the Holy Maiden
......
Just as Wu Hui was observing the situation in the square with the Eye of God, the civilians gathered in the square because of the propaganda of the Holy See were also discussing.
Near the altar, several civilians were gathering and discussing in a low voice of uneasiness.
"This Bright Holy See, which suddenly appeared, was in a hurry to summon us over as soon as it attacked Gruburg, could it be that the tax was raised?" a peasant said with a worried face, "This quarter's tax has just been paid, and if it is paid again, my family will not even be able to afford to eat black bread." ”
"You can still eat oats to make do, I can't. The herdsman next to him scratched his head and looked sad, "If they take back the pasture, I will have no place to graze the sheep, and the sheep in the pen may starve to death." ”
"You have sheep, even if you can't raise them, slaughtering them and selling meat is still an income. My biggest concern is that they will take back the land they have rented. Another farmer was worried, "At least seventy percent of my family's land is rented from Master Gangdeyar, and if they take it back, my family will not be able to eat even oatmeal mush, let alone black bread." ”
"I prefer that the situation will settle down quickly, don't just settle down here, and after a while, Master Connor will bring back the troops, and we will have to be scared again......"
As they spoke, several people couldn't help but sigh, and their expressions became more and more restless.
And at the edge of the square, a young woman with her hair coiled on her tiptoes, lying on her husband's shoulder, could barely see the altar in the center of the square, but she was still happy, and her young and pretty face was full of curiosity and excitement: "Abron, you say, what does Her Highness the Holy Maiden want to do when she gathers so many people?"
"I don't know. The young man lying on her stomach looked at her softly, his eyes indescribably doting, "But I know that Her Highness will not do things that are meaningless." There must be something very important to do today. ”
When the young woman heard this, she gave him a blank look: "Do you still need to say this?"
These two people are the newlyweds that Catherina and Langdon pretended to be three days ago, Alia and Abron.
Not far away, several imposing men, obviously from the military, were mixed in the crowd, and they were also looking at the altar in the center.
Baqun's height made it easy for them to see everything on the altar, but it still couldn't relieve the confusion in their hearts.
"Master, what do they want to do?"
Finally, a sturdy man couldn't help but open his mouth, his honest face full of confusion.
His words expressed the hearts of many people, and several people in the same group unconsciously turned their heads to look at the middle-aged knight led by him, with equally confused expressions.
They came from a knight's estate near Gru Town, and were one of the three knightly squads nominally under the leadership of Gondeyar. The middle-aged knight at the head is one of the three lord knights under the name of Baron Gondeyar, Knight Horn.
And those who followed him were all his subordinate knights, and belonged to the elite of his lineage.
"Immediately after taking Gruburg, the civilians in the Grugtown area were summoned for no more than three purposes. Knight Horn looked calm, and exuded an unusual calmness in the noisy surroundings, "One, to inform the world of the change of ownership of Gruburg, two, to win the hearts of the people, and third, to deter possible enemies so that they do not dare to act rashly." ”
"Possible enemies?" said one of the subordinates, subconsciously repeating it, then raising his eyebrows, "We're also included?"
Knight Horn didn't speak, and it was a tacit acquiescence.
The expressions of several cavalrymen suddenly became a little weird, as if they wanted to say something, but it was difficult to speak.
After a long while, a cavalryman pretended to change the topic casually and said: "However, their equipment is really good, and if they can take down Gruburg, their strength should not be bad." The other two knights' manors should not dare to act rashly. ”
"Hahahaha~yes~yes~"
Wu Hui, who was high up, adjusted the perspective of the Eye of God, and took everyone's reactions into his eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
It seems that this Gangdeyar is indeed not very popular, and it seems that not many of the civilians in the square care about his situation.
Of course, not many people care about the truth or falsehood of him, the god of light. All they care about is themselves.
This is the truest human nature, and many shallow believers will doubt the existence of the God of Light.
Suddenly.
The noisy crowd in the light curtain stirred.
Wu Hui adjusted his perspective and saw Catherina walking out from the side with six other clergymen, her steps were not fast, but her momentum was extremely sacred and solemn.
Within a few steps, the seven of them had reached the foot of the Statue of Light.
There are several steps at the foot of the idol, which go up one step at a time, and the last one leads directly to the foot of the idol, and you can kiss the surface of the idol's feet as soon as you bow your head. This is for the clergy to pray.
Susan and Langdon, six of the fanatical clergy, stepped up the first step and stopped going up, turned around and lined up, respectfully saluting Catherine, who was bent over.
Under their guard, Catherina climbed the stairs and slowly ascended the higher steps, then turned and slowly removed the hood from her head, revealing a beautiful face.
After finishing off Gruburg, the girl seemed to let go of a matter of her heart, her breath became deeper, and her actions were a little less impatient, and she was more stable.
At this moment, as soon as she stood on the stage, her powerful aura was released, and she suddenly became the center of everyone.
Wu Hui's gaze fell on her unconsciously.
Under the altar, thousands of civilians also unconsciously looked up at her.
"Thank you for coming, and I, the Holy Mother of Light, Catherina, on behalf of the Holy See of Light, thank you all for coming. Catherina suddenly spoke, her voice like flowing water hitting jade, and it instantly spread throughout the entire square under the expansion of the divine magic, "Next, the ceremony has officially begun, please keep quiet." ”
Under the sun, the brand-new nun dress on her body was white and flawless, pure as angel wings, the white hooded robe on her body swayed slightly in the wind, and the mysterious golden divine pattern golden light flowed, holy and powerful.
Susan, Harry, Langdon and the other six fanatical clergy wore new white robes, shiny chain mail stood at her feet, like stars and moons, and her momentum became more and more powerful.
Behind the seven people, the towering statue of the god is like jade, sacred and majestic, and in the sky, the banner of the god with gold patterns on a white background is flying in the wind, and the hunting is alive.
A solemn and solemn atmosphere spread around the altar and enveloped the entire square.
Under the infection of this atmosphere, even Wu Hui unconsciously sank a little down, and the civilians in the square unconsciously stopped talking.
In an instant, the whole square fell silent.
Under the watchful eye, Catherina slowly turned around, knelt down at the feet of the Statue of Light, clasped her hands on her chest, and began to pray solemnly.
"Catherina, the Holy Lady of Light, leads all the clergy of the Holy See to pray here and ask our Lord to allow me to wait and judge the heresy Gondeyar this time and today. ”
The moment the voice sounded, Wu Hui keenly sensed that the faith channel belonging to Catherina trembled. As he paid attention, her voice also sounded in his consciousness at the same time.
Here it comes~
This long-planned drama is finally about to begin.
