Chapter 51: Gwenlith and Amy

The king and his ministers went to the Holy See after the morning court, and Gwenlith and Amy followed the king in a carriage, and the whole procession was huge, which was an extremely rare scene in a large city like Snowman. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The destination is the most famous Holy See in Snow City that believes in the gods of nature, the Grand See of the Three Divine Pillars.

The name of the Holy See comes from the fact that outside the gates of the Holy See stand three tall, straight stone pillars, each of which is grayish-white and smooth to the touch. The amazing thing is that after countless years of wind and sun, the three stone pillars are still intact, and there is not even a single stain on them.

It's not just because they're called gods, it's because they're able to predict the weather, and the weather is different, and the lines they show are different, and these lines are usually barely visible, but when needed, they become conspicuous, and no one can explain why, but there are other things besides the gods?

Their weather predictions have been proven over the years, and they have not been wrong once, which has established them as they are today.

As a result, the Grand Holy See of the Three Divine Pillars is very famous on the entire continent, and many conditional believers will come to the Snow City to worship, of course, those who believe in the new gods in the south will not come.

Amy sat in the carriage as she lifted the curtains and looked out.

The roads were lined with snowy inhabitants, and the soldiers of the patrol battalion stopped them with their spears horizontally. Today's scene is not something that can be seen casually, and even some merchants from other cities have chosen this time to buy and sell, not only is business better than usual, but they can also watch the excitement and boast to others when they go back.

"There are so many people out there. Amy couldn't help but say that she rarely had a chance to leave the castle, and that most of the outside world was learned from the mouths of the maids or the Bachelor, but the Bachelor spoke dryly, and the things the Maids said were much more interesting.

"Hmm. Gwen closed her eyes in the carriage, showing no interest in the people outside.

It didn't take long for the carriage to stop and the Grand See arrived.

Amy was helped out of the carriage, and she saw that the outside of the Holy See was densely packed with people, and there were three rows of soldiers sent to guard it, and the rest were on standby on the other side, ready to come to support as soon as there was a situation.

On the other side, outside the gate of the Holy See, there are nine supreme heads of the Holy See, and in the middle is the archbishop, who is wearing a golden and white robe, and today's ceremony is presided over by him, and all the ceremonies are carried out outside the Holy See, so that everyone who comes to watch can see this sacred and solemn scene.

The king was brought to the front of the pillar alone, with Amy and other members of the royal family and ministers standing on the left, and the princes and envoys of other countries standing on the right.

At the beginning it was nothing more than a few prayers, and the archbishop opened the canon, held it in his hands, recited it in a loud voice, and after reciting it there, the first stage ended.

In the second stage, the seven knights of the kingdom accompany the king and receive the holy see's blessing of the divine oil, implying that the gods protect the health and safety of the king, and the knights are brave and invincible to protect the safety of the country.

It is said to be bathing, but in fact, it is kneeling down on one knee in front of the sacred pillar, and the archbishop sprinkles the blessing oil, and everyone has only a few drops.

The last stage is the sacrifice.

Offerings were not made with flowers and fruits, but with witches. For this reason, the Holy See began searching for witches in the kingdom as early as last year, for today's celebrations.

The three witches were brought out by the Holy See with their backstraps, the burn was ready at the stake, and everything went according to plan. As for whether the three of them are witches or not, no one dares to doubt that as long as the Holy See says they are, then they are.

Amy stood in front, the appearance of the witches could be seen more clearly, there were blood stains on their clothes, it seemed that they had been tortured in prison, there was no trace of blood on their faces, they were all pale and haggard, their eyes were so bright that they didn't even seem to know that they were being burned at the stake, and they didn't even shout a word.

Two of them are not much different from ordinary people, and only one person stands out. Her hair was white, not the lifeless white of the elderly, but a pure whiteness, and in spite of all the hardships, her hair was still clean, completely different from her tattered and dirty clothes.

The archbishop stood on the top of the steps and spoke: "After the perennial efforts of the Holy See and the royal family, there is almost no hiding place for witches in the snowman kingdom, they are sent into the arms of the god of nature, and they will not cause any harm to everyone. ”

The surrounding believers are in high spirits, and it is the greatest luck to be blessed by the gods, and it is not too much to sacrifice many maiden witches, they are all bad people anyway, and they feel that it is cheap for them to serve the gods of nature directly.

"Do you want us to watch them burn in front of them?" Amy had stood at such a close distance for the first time, and the Holy See had burned witches before, but she had only heard it later in the castle. Even if she knew in advance, she didn't want to come to watch, maybe it was a dedication to the gods, but she didn't want to be around.

"It's a ritual and you have to stick to it. Gwen won't let Amy back down, everyone is here, not to mention that there are tens of thousands of people outside, and the members of the royal family leave halfway, which is a lot of damage to the king's reputation.

Amy said no more, and she looked at King Connor, who was standing in front of the pillar, followed by the Seven Knights who accompanied him.

The Seven Knights were the most powerful knights selected by the competition, and they no longer enjoyed their father's inheritance, but all served by the king's side, which was a supreme honor for their family.

Connell smiled, burning the witch must be a lot of fun for him, Amy muttered to herself.

Amy doesn't like Connor very much in her heart, but likes her half-brother Leon, but Leon doesn't seem to be too enthusiastic about her because of her mother's relationship with her brother, and he doesn't blame him, anyone who encounters this kind of thing will almost do it.

If it were Leon, what would he do in such a situation? Amy didn't actually know much about him, and that person spent most of his time reading books and rarely showed his preferences in front of her.

In this celebration, it stands to reason that all members of the royal family will be present, such as their uncles and cousins, but Leon has not returned, and it is all obvious.

I should never see each other again in this life. Ever since Amy learned that Leon had been divided into a small town, she knew he would never have a chance to come back.
