Chapter 120: Easter Celebration

Senricars Cathedral, side nave hall.

"Faithful, welcome to the Cathedral of the Holy Church ...... Senricars"

A loving, gentle, sacred voice slowly echoed through the hall.

The whispering of conversation calmed down.

Everyone's eyes were cast in the direction of the side hall podium.

A figure, for some time, was already standing on the podium, quietly looking at everyone.

Dressed in a cardinal robe, he wore a crown of light peculiar to the Holy Church, his eyes were pale blue, full of wisdom and vicissitudes, as if he could see through people's hearts, his silver hair was full of shawls, his face was white and beardless, without wrinkles, and he had a kind and gentle smile.

"It's Bishop Edwin!"

"I've seen Lord Bishop!"

The nobles and wealthy merchants showed respectful expressions, folded their hands, and made prayers.

Prince Malthus stood in the crowd, equally humble and reverent, much to the satisfaction of Bishop Edwin, who was concerned about him.

Now that the situation in the empire is chaotic, Emperor Salom IV rarely appears, it seems that there is a problem, the crown prince is still undecided, and the Holy Church urgently needs to find a royal member of the goodwill church to support him on the throne.

Today, the two most outstanding princes in the entire imperial capital are Prince Malthus and Prince Deacens.

Among them, Prince Malthus is a believer in the Holy Church and Prince Deakens is a believer in the Church of the Sea, in contrast, the choice of the Holy Church is self-evident.

The festivities are almost underway, why haven't Bach and Hodge come yet...... Madame Belle also folded her hands and showed a respectful and pious expression, but she was a little anxious in her heart, as a benefactor, the family of the Marquis of Bach was very valued by the Holy Church.

Once the Marquis of Bach does not come for no reason, it is easy to cause the displeasure of the Holy Church, and even make others think that there is a contradiction between the two sides, and the Marquis Bach has betrayed his own beliefs.

Either way, it was a matter of great influence for the Marquis of Bach.

"Today is the day when the Father is lifted out of suffering and resurrected and reborn, and it is also the day when the Father returns and unleashes the grace of God on the continent, let us pray together to cleanse ourselves from suffering."

"The light of the Lord will always shine on you......

Cardinal Edwin, with his loving and bright voice, spread throughout the side nave and spread throughout the cathedral.

At this moment, all the believers in the side hall closed their eyes and prayed silently, feeling the glory of the Lord.

In an instant, a gentle and bright beam of light swayed down from the sky and shone on each believer, who only felt that their bodies were warm, as if they were soaking in the hot spring water, and all their diseases, pains, and difficulties seemed to disappear completely at this moment.

Many believers shed tears of excitement and couldn't help but bow down.

At this moment, Mrs. Bailey sensed someone beside her, turned sideways slightly, and glanced at her.

Hodge and the Marquis of Bach were already standing beside Madame Bellie, also clasped their hands and praying.

Seeing this scene, Mrs. Baili immediately breathed a sigh of relief: It's okay, I caught up.

With the faint light and temperature, it slowly disappeared, and the believers in the halls of the major side halls gradually woke up from the solemn state of prayer.

Bishop Edwin clasped his hands together and looked at the crowd lovingly, and a holy light fell from the sky, covering his body, making him now radiant and extremely holy.

Bishop Edwin slowly opened his hands, like a loving priest, and said:

"Believers, I declare that the festival has officially begun......"

Easter of the Holy Church, one of the most important festivals of the Church, comes from the god of light and sun, before ascending to the throne and becoming the true god, he once died briefly for a period of time due to the plot of the demon spider clan, and finally was reborn on the throne in front of the golden cross on a Saturday a year later.

In order to commemorate the gods of light and the sun, when compiling the Bible, the messengers designated the day of rebirth as Easter, so that believers and congregants can pray to the gods together on this day for good luck and happiness.

In the past, the prayers of the believers were occasionally answered by the gods, but since the fifth century, the god of light and the sun has not answered the believers for a long time.

With the exception of the cardinals of the five cathedrals, as well as the pope and the patriarch, few of the other congregations have received a response from God.

In contrast, the Marquis of Bach is extremely special, he is a divine benefactor, and he is directly blessed by the gods.

This made many high-ranking members of the church look at the Marquis Bach differently.

"Please move to the garden, the Easter event will be carried out in the garden......"

Bishop Edwin whispered, bowed slightly, and walked slowly down the podium.

Many clergy began to lead the nobles and wealthy people towards the beautiful garden.

"Your Royal Highness."

"Bishop Edwin."

Bishop Edwin approached Prince Malthus and began a conversation.

On the other side, Hodge saw this scene, his brows furrowed slightly, thoughtful.

Have the people of the Holy Church reached out to Prince Malthus...... Hodge thought of the conversation of several members of the Blood Moon Party, Emperor Salom IV had not appeared for a long time, may have disappeared or even died, the Blood Clan was investigating to confirm the matter, and Prince Malthus was close to the Holy Church.

The Holy Church is the mortal enemy of the Blood Clan, and it is impossible for the Blood Clan to help a royal descendant who supports the Holy Church, so it stands to reason that they will choose to support Prince Deakens of the Ocean Church.

This Prince of Deakens is an unwavering warlord, advocating the use of force to settle everything, and it is very likely that his plan to march into the New Gill region is his hand.

In Hodge's mind, this Prince Deakens may even be the one who colluded with the Eternal Demon Cult, the Sleeping Church, the Renegade Bishop of the Machine Church, and the Blasphemer Family.

It was precisely because it was him that Princess Leia kept silent, for fear of getting into trouble.

There are actually few people who can make Her Royal Highness the princess so fearful in the entire imperial capital.

"Let's go, let's go to the garden." The voice of the Marquis of Bach, ringing in Hodge's ears, interrupted his thoughts.

Hearing this, Hodge nodded and looked at his mother, Lady Bailey, "Mother, let's go." ”

"yes, okay." Madame Bailey nodded, as if she had thought of something, and asked casually, "Hodge, didn't Anna come?" I remember she was also a member of the church, right? She also came to the last celebration. ”

"Mother, she suddenly felt unwell, so I didn't call her." Hodge replied.

"Uncomfortable?"

"Well, that can't help it."

Madame Belley bowed slightly, and followed Hodge and Marquis Bach in the direction of the garden.

No sooner had he passed through the garden corridor than Hodge saw a familiar figure standing by the rockery pool, seemingly waiting for the three of them.

The person who came was blonde and blue-eyed, with a round face, a straight nose, no wrinkles on his face, a gentle temperament, a golden cross on his chest, and a red bishop's robe, giving people a natural and peaceful feeling.

It was Augustine, the bishop who had gone to the rescue of the Marquis of Bach's fiefdom.
