No matter where you look in the Holy City, you can see the spire of the Cathedral of Light.

In addition to the magnificence of the church itself, it is also related to its location, which is built on the only high ground in the Holy City.

This sloping plateau, known as the Holy Mountain of Light, looked like a huge tomb to Donner.

Originally, he wasn't going to come to this church until he took Rick and Shaida out the door.

But for some reason, as he strolled through the streets of the Holy City, getting closer to the golden spire, his curiosity grew heavier. Before you know it, you have come to the Holy Mountain of Light.

It seemed that something in the church was calling him. Could this be some kind of spiritual magic used to create mystery or cultivate faith?

"Do you think that church is weird?" he asked Rick and Shaida.

The two girls shook their heads after a moment's notice.

Donner pondered for a moment, and finally walked up the gentle grass-covered slope towards the main entrance of the Cathedral of Light: "...... Let's go, go over and have a look. ”

"Young Master, do you know why the Cathedral of Light is golden?" asked Shaida as she followed behind Ruiko.

"The gold looks dignified...... Donner replied casually.

"No," Shaida said proudly, "the entire Cathedral of Light is built with the gold of desperation. ”

"Desperate Gold?Forbidden Material?" Donner was surprised, he remembered that Desperate Gold was a rarer and rarer material than Mithril, and some of this material was used on the second magic wand Cynthia gave him to hide magic fluctuations.

I really didn't expect that the Cathedral of Light would be so extravagant.

But that's not right - if Donner's guess is correct, the so-called magic was created by the civilization behind the scenes of the Holy See of Light, and the church they built themselves, why should they ban demons?

Looking at Donner's pensive look, Rick cautiously asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"I don't know," Donner shook his head, "let's go in and have a look......

Walking all the way on the lawn, not far away are all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, it is spring at this time, the birds are singing and the fragrance of flowers is intoxicating.

Many young men and women sit on the ground here, or look at each other silently, or whisper softly, and from time to time there will be cheerful laughter.

Donner looked around and noticed that there were some people sitting here who looked young, but without exception, all of them were couples.

"Shaida, why are there all couples here?" he asked in a whisper as he walked.

"It is said that after coming to the sacred mountain to pray for blessings...... It won't give birth to monsters......" Shaida replied.

"What do you mean to give birth to a monster?" asked Donner.

"Young Master, don't you know?" Xia Yida also wondered, "Is it true that no one has a monster in your place?"

"You mean, giving birth to a deformed child?" Donner guessed. When he was on the island of Lante, there were occasional women who gave birth to deformed babies after ten months of pregnancy, but in most cases, such children were secretly disposed of, and he only heard of them occasionally, but never saw them.

"Yes, after coming to the Holy Mountain to pray for blessings, it is said that there will be no monsters, but it seems that it is not very accurate, Sister Lilian of the Marvel family has come many times, and she has not given birth to normal children......" Shaida replied.

Donner stopped, turned around and asked in shock, "Could it be that the low fertility rate here is due to the fact that few normal children can be born?"

Shaida was asked inexplicably, nodding blankly, which seemed to her to be an obvious fact.

"I know what's the use of praying on the Holy Mountain......" Donner turned and continued walking towards the church.

"What's the use?" Rick asked eagerly, taking a few quick steps to catch up with Donner, as if it were an important question.

Donner turned his head to look at her, smiled and said, "What's the hurry? I'll tell you later." ”

"You're not in a hurry, I have something to ...... urgent" The half-elf girl's cheeks turned red suddenly.

Donner laughed, and he suddenly realized that the strange feeling was gone, maybe it was just his psychological effect before.

At this time, the three of them had already arrived at the main entrance of the church.

Although the Cathedral of Light is golden, the building itself is indeed Gothic, which seems a little out of place to Donner.

At the entrance of the church, a row of priests stood neatly, each with a huge white cross embroidered on the chest of their golden robes.

From inside the open church door, the sound of hymns was sung, the tune of the song that Downer seemed to know, but he didn't know where he had heard it.

Donner hesitated for a moment, but stepped into the steps of the church door.

As soon as you enter the main hall, the temperature drops suddenly, as if it is in winter.

Donner looked around, and the entire hall, from the roof to the walls, was painted with all kinds of oil paintings similar to Bible stories, but both the objects and techniques of the paintings seemed to be a little nondescript, like some shoddy imitations.

On the raised steps at the end of the main hall, a row of young men and girls in winter clothes are holding a record book and chanting neatly.

The seats on both sides were almost full of people, all with their eyes closed, their hands folded, and their faces reverent, and no one noticed that Donner and his party walked in.

"Young Master......" Shaida pointed to the huge seated statue behind the choir and whispered, "That is the God of Light......

Donner's brow furrowed, he had noticed the statue long before Shaida pointed it out to him.

It was a solemn-looking old man, who looked to be in his fifties, a bit like a Hellian.

What surprised Donner the most, though, was where he thought he should have seen this man.

However, even if he searched his intestines and scraped his stomach, he couldn't remember who this person was.

"Let's go, let's go to the front row......," he commanded softly, and walked along the passage in the center of the hall.

The three of them managed to find three seats in the first row in front of the choir.

Once seated, Donner still looked up at the statue.

The feeling of déjà vu grew stronger and stronger—Donner became more and more agitated, and just then, the absurd Ode to Joy melody came to make trouble, and he couldn't think in peace......

Wait!

The choir sings the tune of Ode to Joy, the tune of Beethoven's Symphony No. 9, Ode to Joy!

It's just that the singing is a little out of tune, and the lyrics are a little weird!

Lyrics...... Lyrics...... The lyrics are actually chanted repeatedly in English: This is a joke, you are all blinded, but you can't blame me, to blame Dr. Wang Yuan, it's all his idea......

Donner stiffened, sweat pouring down in the cold hall.

He knew who this statue was!
