In this vast sea, as far as the eye can see, more than a dozen ships come and go.

The ships that come and go represent the prosperity here.

But here's what's interesting.

With the exception of some merchant ships and transport ships that transport supplies, most of the ships can be seen to be various personnel transport ships used to transport people.

All of these ships are marked with the emblem of the Church of Our Lady or have elements similar to those of Our Lady.

From afar, in the middle of the ocean.

There is a large island.

The island is the land of the Goddess, representing the joy of giving birth to new life and a good harvest, and is the headquarters of the Church of Our Lady in the infinite sea.

A faint soft glow casts from beyond the clouds in the sky, and this soft light blends in with the surrounding color, looming.

The sound of dawn slowly came to the periphery of this sea.

I was already able to see the island out of sight.

Arka and the others stood on the boat, letting the Sound of Dawn lift them up to the sky with vines, and get a quicker view of the island.

The Sacred City.

The headquarters of the Church.

Even in such a peripheral place, they could already feel the fluctuations of the power of the Virgin.

The fluctuations of these powers, and the power contained in the pillars of light that floated down from the sky, made the surrounding sea glow with a pale golden sheen.

"It's a stable environment." Julia felt her surroundings and couldn't help but say.

"The environment here is solid, just like the sea of home."

I think it should be the power of the Holy Mother to dispel the chaos around it, making the environment here very stable.

Jason swirled his hand around the air, bringing out the faint golden sheen of the air.

"Not only the environment, but also the magic is mixed with a lot of holy light elements. It's a forbidden place for almost all demons. ”

The Light of Our Lady is not similar to the Light of Punishment.

But this holy light has blended into the surrounding environment, not to mention demons, even cultists can hardly bear to walk into this area.

The aura on his body will clash with the holy light around him all the time, basically as if it is marked by an aperture.

It's really exaggerated enough.

With the ship sailing.

A ship slowly approached next to them, and it quickly headed ahead.

Arka: They looked at the ship.

The ship was not a church ship, but it was in a certain style of a church ship.

Pale gold and milky colour.

It has a lot of the style of the Church of Our Lady, and you can see that this ship should be a personnel transport ship, with large and small rooms on it.

Because around the cabin, except for some artillery, there were all kinds of doors and windows.

Above deck.

A large number of people gathered, staring at the island in the distance as if they were pilgrimages.

Although the island is so small that it is out of the sky.

There is still a long way to go.

"Pilgrim ships?"

Arka looked at the ship and couldn't help but say.

For them, the saints of the Church of Our Lady, it is easy to feel the faith in Our Lady coming from that ship.

With the forward drive.

There are more and more pilgrim ships coming and going.

But in addition to these, you can also see many warships of the Church of Our Lady, transporting knights and cathars to distant places.

You can also see some ships transporting supplies.

The procession of these ships that were going to World Scar was arguably the most common ship they had seen since Arka had left World Scar.

Sometimes you can even see these boats in the drifting sea.

It is enough to see the number of such ships, and it is enough to see the severity of the world's scars.

The support never stopped, and the whole world was going to give blood transfusions there.

As you get closer and closer to the Holy City.

That calm luster is becoming more and more conspicuous.

The surrounding magic began to be squeezed by the holy light.

Divine elements began to flood the surroundings.

They sailed almost above a sea of gold.

This gold is not luxurious.

The gold, which is similar to wheat yellow, will only make people feel the strong color of the autumn harvest, which is more in line with the simple mood rather than the noble color.

From afar, they looked at the sacred island.

As far as the eye can see, the island is golden yellow.

For this golden yellow, Arka couldn't help but smile on his face.

This golden yellow color is all too familiar to him.

It was exactly what he had seen, that he had been very familiar with.

Golden ears of wheat.

However, the direction they are now in seems to be on the far side of the island.

The island was flat, but with slightly undulating peaks, not high, but large enough to obscure their view from the front.

Finally they came to the periphery of the island.

Watch as the pilgrims' boats circle around the left side of the back.

It should be closer to the port.

Arka: They also began to slowly detour.

And deliberately slowed down the speed of the ship.

In front of them were fields of golden wheat.

"Are these golden ears of wheat?" Xia Daiti didn't understand very well, but after all, he also came out of the sea of his homeland, so he looked at Arka and asked.

Because she remembered that Arka's hometown was Golden Wheat Ear, the home island of the Virgin.

Arka nodded.

"That's right, these are golden ears of wheat, but I didn't expect to see them here."

Matresa looked at the ears of wheat on the island, looked at them carefully, and then said, "These plants are different, maybe they look the same as you see, but they are some kind of ...... Strange creatures of antiquity, they absorb the Light. ”

In other words, it could be some kind of higher creation.

Hearing this, Arka said, "The ears of wheat I have seen do not absorb the light and grow. ”

"So these should be the legendary ears of light."

Juan Lu said.

Because this kind of holy light wheat ear is actually a food, but this kind of food is rarely used by juanlu to make food.

Because the characteristic of this golden ear of wheat is not how delicious it is, but that its yield is extremely large, and the taste is not bad.

In the environment of the Light, it has the property of almost infinite growth and infinite output.

"Look at those windmills."

In the middle of the wheat fields that spread all the way to the back of the mountain, you can see one windmill after another nestled in these wheat fields. Spreading throughout the island, these windmills have become a beautiful sight.

"The sound of dawn leans over." Simon said.

Although the crowd didn't know why, the sound of dawn leaned over, almost against the shore.

It was only then that they realized the peculiarity of these wheat fields, which stretched as far as the eye could see, almost completely encapsulating the back of the island.

Because the ears of wheat on it are automatically peeled off and then fly away.

These stripped ears of wheat form a straight line in the wheat field, as if they have been pulled by some force.

The nearest windmill to them was a few hundred meters away.

The huge windmill rotated slowly, and some reliefs from the church could be clearly seen on it.

Simon's eyes lit up, and he was using some kind of spell that would enhance his vision.

Then he patted Alka on the shoulder.

"Look."

Arka has seen it.

These windmills are nothing more than windmills in appearance, and inside them are some kind of intricate artifact of spells and mechanics.

Simon explained to the others: "These windmills go deep into the ground, forming some kind of formation network around them, even throughout the wheat fields.

The ears of wheat in the Light will produce infinite food grains in the environment of the Light, and these grains will be automatically produced and stripped away, and quickly enter the windmill to be stored. ”

This is a fully automatic system of sowing and harvesting grain through plant machinery and spells.

"Perfect."

Simon couldn't help but admire.

Then he took out a small notebook and began to record.

As they ships began to circumnavigate.

Soon you see the roads, which connect each windmill with an intersection in between. There seems to be a transport station there.

People kept carrying the grain.

"Hey!"

At this moment, a few children suddenly came out of the wheat field only on the shore, and they looked at Arka, and their boat was waving and greeting.

Wheat fields, windmills, children.

Looking at such a scene, Arka had the illusion of inexplicably returning to the Kingdom of the Virgin Mary, and couldn't help but smile and wave his hand to them.

"As if...... Came to the Kingdom of God. Xia Daiti said.

Although she had only been there once, that one was enough to impress her.

Finally they made a detour to the front of the island.

You can see a lot of buildings here.

Buildings spread from the port all the way up the hill, which is not very high.

A stately church that serves as the administrative center of the Church of the Goddess.

It's one of the most conspicuous buildings, because it's where the light source in the sky lands.

The road from the port leads straight to the church.

The church covers a large area, with tall spires and white marble surfaces. The walls are intricately carved with beautiful images of goddesses as well as some sacred mythological stories.

These are some of the details they can see from the shore.

And on the shore, at the port.

The most conspicuous thing is a lighthouse.

If it weren't for the golden pillars of light that fell from the sky, and the magnificent Cathedral of Our Lady.

Then the most conspicuous thing must be this lighthouse that guides the way.

The lighthouse rises to a height of 100 meters.

Interestingly, the lighthouse resembles a tall upright ear of wheat.

The fruit that hangs down from the ears of wheat is like a source of light.

The place where the pillar of light had just been cast in the sky, Arka had not yet noticed the place where the light source was emitted.

Only now found out.

The port towns can see a lot of use of a variety of colors that only come in autumn.

In autumn, the roof made of maple rubble has become the choice of most buildings, and the color is as if you have entered a maple forest.

Most of the houses are pale brown and pale yellow off-white, and the overall color palette is in harmony with the atmosphere of the whole island.

The rich hues make you feel as if you have entered the autumn harvest in an instant.

Ships coming and going in the harbor.

and special ports specially built to stop those transporting people.

This allows this kind of ship to quickly transport passengers off the ship.

You can see these people, as if on a pilgrimage, slowly but steadily walking towards the huge church at the top of the hill.

Arka and they docked their ships at other ports.

Obviously, Arka's ships are very distinctive, and the port has the ability to distinguish, so there are no restrictions on Arka's ships.

No one even came to record it.

But when their ship stopped at the harbor, a group of church knights approached.

Arka: They jumped straight out of the boat.

"Your Excellency the Arca Saint." The knight thumped his chest, then made the Virgin's cross gesture.

Arka used the same gesture and nodded, saying hello to each other.

"It's finally time for you to come, so please come with me. A place of rest has been prepared for you. ”

With that, two of the soldiers led Arka and them towards the place where the church was located.

However, as soon as they arrived outside the port, the captain of the soldiers at the head thought about it, turned his head to look at Arka and asked.

"Would Your Excellency the Saint mind not taking the Pilgrim's Avenue?"

"Pilgrim's Boulevard?" Arka was a little confused.

"It's the main road that leads to the church, and almost all pilgrims take this road to the Cathedral of Our Lady at the top of the hill.

Devout believers believe that walking on this path will be under the gaze of Our Lady to examine their own character. ”

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but nodded.

However, thinking of the flow of people on the avenue just now, Arka shook his head.

"Don't mind, it's okay to take the trail."

"That's good."

The soldier was visibly relieved as well.

It seems that even they themselves find it very uncomfortable to take the main road, after all, it is really crowded.

And the believer walks slowly, almost moving forward.

Then they started walking, and some of the surrounding residents and some roads in the commercial streets began to detour.

Arka: They followed behind and watched the scenery around them.

The soldiers who led the way also deliberately slowed down.

Plants with golden ears of wheat can be seen between and around almost every house.

Some children ran past them while playing.

"Is it my delusion? Why are there so many children? Juanlu asked.

Some of the children also seemed to know the soldiers leading the way, greeting them or hugging their thighs.

One of the soldiers said with a smile.

"Yes, there are a lot of children around the Cathedral of Our Lady, because there is the largest orphanage here.

They are all brought by believers, and even church personnel, in all parts of the boundless sea. ”

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

This is characteristic of the Church of Our Lady.

Generally speaking, in addition to the ability to produce food quickly, the biggest feature is the orphanage.

After all, Our Lady has a certain sphere of power to give birth to new children and raise children.

So almost all the church forces to which they belong, even around the church, have orphanages.

It is not uncommon for orphans and homeless children to be left behind in this endless sea.

And all church members are committed to collecting these orphans and raising them to grow.

In fact, this is where most of the members of the church come from, except for their own church descendants, the rest of the people come from these orphanages.

and some children sent by believers.

There are plenty of ingredients in the surrounding shops.

Truth be told, there doesn't seem to be anything on the island that looks very useful or expensive.

It's all very ordinary.

But the number of people is unusually large.

Coming and going.

When they went to the church, they also looked at the flow of people on the main road, and it was scary to look at it.

And these people walked upwards as slowly as they seemed to squirm, and they all looked a little tormented.

"Is there so many people every day?" Jason couldn't help but ask.

If that's the case, then these guards who maintain order are working too hard.

Every day is a high-intensity job.

The soldier in front did shake his head, though.

"No, but tomorrow it will be the harvest feast, which is the most important feast of Our Lady and the best time to worship Our Lady.

At that time, there will even be a child angel of Our Lady to come down and send blessings, so it is a very important holiday. ”

Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized.

I see.

No wonder this crowd is so frightening, it turns out that they just arrived at this time.

"We're lucky to be here at this time to be able to participate in this kind of festival."

Hearing Xia Daiti's words, the leading soldier couldn't help but nod.

It seems that the timing of their arrival is indeed very coincidental.
