Dangdangdang –

On the other side, Ronald, who was also in the Holy Capital, also heard the bells ringing in the city.

At this time, he had just arrived in the central district, where the Cathedral of the Holy Grace was located.

To enter the Cathedral of the Holy Grace in the central district, the first thing you face is a long staircase of more than 100 meters, paved with white rock.

Cool and long steps.

Just walking on it, there is a sense of majesty coming to you.

It makes people feel as if they are not walking on the steps, but walking between the boundaries of man and the realm of the gods.

Ronald steps here.

The moment he heard the bell ring, he turned his head to look into the distance.

The priests around him moved the same as him, and everyone's expressions became a little subtle.

But the central district is, after all, the heart of the holy capital.

Ronald is also not a practitioner of the [Nine Rings Secret Society] in the midst of encirclement.

Standing here, there is naturally a sense of calm and stability.

"Huh-"

"Looks like those guys are having a hard time."

Ronald smiled and shook his head with emotion, and then no longer waited, but continued to move forward.

He trusted the power of the church in his day.

Even if it is even exaggerated, even if the casters of the five [Nine Rings Secret Society] have complete spell casting ability. However, in this city, I am afraid that it will soon be folded into the hands of the church.

What Ronald is going to do now.

It's just a break from this temple trial, that's all.

Continue up the steps.

Halfway through, you will have a panoramic view of the Cathedral of the Holy Grace, an ancient shrine that is gradually being unveiled to outsiders.

The first thing that catches your eye is the soaring spire and the majestic façade.

This makes it a landmark in the surrounding area, as well as in the city as a whole.

Its body is constructed of solid marble, giving it a timeless and unwavering visual touch.

Most of the sculptures on the building are statues of saints and scriptures.

Ronald had good eyesight and even saw a relief of Oriel, the king of the behemoths, in human form.

When I reached the end of the stairs, my vision changed again.

Behind the staircase is not the road to the Cathedral of the Holy Grace, but a thin lake.

The crystal clear water reflects the sacred buildings on the opposite shore and also separates people from the cathedral.

Want to see the cathedral all the way around.

It is necessary to detour from the left and right sides, passing through the baptistery that was set up on both sides.

“……”

Ronald remained silent and remained silent.

The cathedral is also visited by many clergy and ordinary residents of the city. He followed the inhabitants of the other holy capitals as they descended from the left and into the heart of the central district.

Surrounding the Cathedral of the Holy Grace is a whole circle of religious buildings.

Behind the baptistery, a three-story open-air lecture hall greets you.

Early in the morning, priests give lectures here, and you can see all kinds of clergy or residents of the Holy Capital sitting around the lecture hall and listening to their knowledge.

Went through the morning classes of the hermitage.

Ronald was also somewhat interested in these contents.

It's a pity that it's inconvenient for him to delay time now.

Ronald did not linger here, but followed the other pilgrims to start a new reconnaissance around the central district.

The Grand Shrine sits in the center, surrounded by a man-made lake.

Ordinary residents of the Holy Capital may also have access to the Cathedral of the Holy Grace, but only at important moments.

Normally, only core members of the church are admitted.

Others can only watch from the outside.

“……”

"First of all, find a way to get in safely."

Ronald had a clear idea.

Although he has a useful identity, this cannot help him enter the Cathedral of Holy Grace itself.

I want to continue this temple trial.

He's afraid he'll have to think of something else.

Thinking like this, Ronald also circled around the central district and came to the right side of the entrance.

The buildings of the entire central district are symmetrically distributed.

From the left to the inside, from the right out, the buildings you pass by are almost always the reflections of the opposite side.

Ronald naturally didn't leave directly with the flow of people.

So before arriving at the baptistery, he sat on the third floor of the podium on the right.

While listening to the lectures of the priest below, you will also look at the Cathedral of the Holy Grace in the central district.

It is located on higher ground and has a great view.

Not only is it convenient for him to have an overview of the overall situation, but the lecture of the priest next to him can also kill some of the boredom of thinking.

"Get in some trouble, make a commotion, and then take the opportunity to run in......"

"Or find some very necessary excuse to negotiate in?"

"The place itself is a church, and there is no reason for the Holy Church to put up too many obstacles in the way of entering the church. Maybe you can give it a try. ”

Ronald had a list of options in his mind.

There were even some bold ideas.

Although the form is different, the essence of the church is the church, both past and present.

He may be able to take advantage of his friendship with the modern church.

Get an easier situation in this Temple Trial!

Over time, however, Ronald discovered a special case.

It is common sense that the flow of people who come to worship at the Cathedral of Holy Grace should be constant throughout the day.

But when Ronald sat in the lecture hall for a while.

It was found that the flow of people entering the central area on the left side was rapidly decreasing, while the number of people leaving on the right side began to increase.

This is not normal, is it exposed yourself?

Ronald immediately turned his head and asked a civilian in the Holy Capital who was also listening to the lecture beside him:

"I think everyone seems to be in a hurry to leave, what's wrong?"

The residents are also happy to answer questions for the beautiful nuns:

"You don't know yet."

"There are some special ceremonies going on this side of the cathedral. This morning, the Bishop said that everyone is welcome to visit, but in the afternoon they have to make preparations, so it will be closed to the public in the afternoon. ”

The residents of the Holy Capital gave Ronald a warm explanation.

Then the resident also felt that it was not early, so he got up and left.

Seeing this, Ronald did not want to make himself a maverick, and naturally prepared to follow the general stream to withdraw from the Central District first.

However, it was when he got up from his seat and had just walked to the baptistery in front of the steps.

A slightly surprised voice sounded from behind him:

"Lili, why are you here?"

I'm so exposed!

Ronald's first reaction was this.

In an instant, all the things I had just thought about came to mind.

He had even begun to think about how he would convince the Holy Capital to treat him if his identity was revealed.

After all, from the actual experience, his relationship with the church can definitely be called quite close.

However, things then turned out even more than Ronald expected.

Behind him was a middle-aged priest with a gentle expression. The other party stepped forward and did not interrogate or restrain Ronald, but put on a kind and old man's attitude:

"But it's okay, you're one of the candidates in this batch, just come with me."

Ronald looked confused, and was dragged by the other party towards the center of the Cathedral of Holy Grace.

On the way, the priest continued to speak, and Ronald's confusion continued to grow.

Because the other party said:

"Today is an important day for the selection of candidates, both the Priests and the Pope."

"As one of the candidates for this priesthood."

"You have to behave well today, and be careful not to make any rude speech!"
