Chapter 017: Goddess of Nature

"Knock, knock, knock!" rang out from the middle of the city, where the Cathedral of Syncoste was located, and the sound of the bells echoed throughout the city, crashing against the walls and striking at the hearts of the people. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It seems to be watching everything that is happening in the city in a low voice, and the mottled traces of war on the old buildings indicate in an iron-blooded way that a new war is coming.

As the bells fell, some of the city's citizens who had been resting at home opened the doors one after another, and after the residents simply freshened up, everyone who believed in the Goddess of Nature Church moved towards the place where the church was located.

On the city's leading avenues, there are not only stubborn soldiers, but also groups of devout believers.

These two groups are side by side, but miraculously there is no conflict, because each is clearly aware of his responsibilities and obligations at the moment.

Manid looked at the spectacular scene of the crowd around him, and asked Niza on the side, "What happened? Was it the alarm bell of the enemy attack just now?"

Niza looked at him and shook her head with a smile. "Have you ever heard that the alarm bell only rings seven times, and besides, have you not noticed that the patrolling soldiers are not on the slightest alert?"

Manid smiled a little embarrassedly, he really didn't notice this. Then he asked. "So what are these people doing? They all seem to be flocking in the same direction?"

"There's a reason they do it," the bard explained. "Today is Sunday, and these people are going to the shrine on Goddess Street to worship the goddess of nature. ”

If you look down on the city from above, there seems to be a sea of people rising on the main avenue of the city, and the waves of the crowd in the rough waves are heading towards a place, and the gathering place where the waves move forward is the place where the bell is heard.

Inquisitive, Manid and Niza followed the surging crowd towards the bell.

Manid had his beliefs, like all Virgians, in the god of fire, 'Hephaestus'. For only the god of fire can banish the cold from their hearts.

Today is an important day of the week for all those who believe in the goddess of nature, and the seventh day of the week is the "Sunday", which is the day when the faithful need to go to the goddess temple for devotional worship.

The liturgy of worship did not appear in a vacuum, and the religious rites of worship were first found in the Holy Scriptures.

The Holy Book says that it took God six days to create everything in the heavens and the earth. On the seventh day, God, who had done all this, rested.

As a result, the holy faithful hold a religious ritual on the seventh day of every week - the service, and the day of worship is one of the few legal days of the week for people.

For every devout believer who believes in the goddess, if there is no accident or something of great importance, it is best to go to the local shrine every Sunday.

In an ancient and majestic city, something called faith is condensing in the sky above the city of Dehrim.

The charm of the city lies in its history, its weight, its cohesion, and now a cult called faith has given the city a new layer of charm.

On the vault of the temple, a huge statue of the goddess stands proudly, looking down like a god on the many people who come to worship.

She symbolizes freedom from tyranny, and her body resembles a beautiful girl, which makes people feel intimate and natural.

The spire of the temple is the tallest of the city's three towering buildings, surpassing even the castle of Duke Kesto Michaud.

The hegemony of the divine power can be seen from this, even the imperial power basically has no ability to parry in the face of the divine power.

Manid and Will followed the surging crowd towards the temple.

Whether they wanted it or not, the crowd forced them to continue to move along with the surging sea of people, or they would be buried by the vast sea of people like the sails of a ship going upstream.

He remembered the urgency of visiting Duke Kester Michod with Wiggins, and was anxious to get out of here.

But at this moment, he is trapped in this crowded crowd and can't get out. Even Niza, who had been with him, didn't know when he was gone.

"Niza, Niza," Manid tried to call out to his old friend in the crowd. "Niza, where are you?" but his shouts were soon drowned out by the sound of heavy footsteps.

At this moment, a luxurious carriage drove towards the temple from a wide street, on the left of the carriage was a silver-armored knight riding a black black horse, and on the right was also a tall knight on a tall horse.

The road ahead was already impassable, and the carriage stopped.

After a while, a young girl came out of the carriage, wearing a long light red dress. She came to worship at the temple as usual, and a group of soldiers with spears flanked her and dispersed the crowd.

The common people scrambled around the soldiers, and Manid was almost pushed by the swarming crowd. Out of curiosity, he turned to look at the girl who had emerged from the carriage.

The girl's veil was adorned with a layer of silver flowers, and she wore a light and fluttering cloak, which looked charming and solemn. Her necklace is encrusted with blue gemstones, which shine softly and dazzlingly, and her dress is as desirable as her look and heart.

Manid had never seen such a beautiful and noble girl, and he couldn't help but look at the girl with some dementia. His legs were forced to follow the surging crowd, while his eyes remained fixed on the girl.

The girl's face is full of innocence and gentleness, and people will feel comfortable from the heart as long as they look at her.

The most enviable thing is her blonde hair. She tied a belt woven with three golden flowers, and her blonde hair was draped over her body like waves, full of youth and beauty.

At the girl's side, the handsome knight's eyes were blazing and heroic, and his hair fluttered in the wind, he attracted the attention and shouts of the infatuated girls around him.

Another tall knight gave people a sense of awe and did not dare to approach.

The baker named Old Joy also came to see the goddess with his little grandson in his arms. The child didn't believe that this girl was a real person, and thought she was a goddess from heaven!

The little boy had a tanned fat face and wore an rustic cloth shirt, and he couldn't believe that this fairy was a real person like him.

The girl nodded and smiled along the way, cordially accepting the salute from the people. The faces of the two knights also showed pride and joy. The knight's face is red and simple, and the girl's smile is sweet.

The tall knight saw it in his heart and inspired them: "These good people salute us. William, do you know why? What do you think, Lord Goddess?"

The maiden replied, "They are so good." ”

William replied, "Perhaps, that's what they should do!"

The tall knight then asked, "Why should they do this?"

"Because they are all devout devotees of the goddess of nature," replied Knight William. "Isn't it the right thing for them to worship and love the Goddess's servants in the world?" )
