Outside the gate of the Secret Division, a gorgeous ceremonial platform was specially erected, and the platform was covered with silk embroidered with the symbols of the Church of the Dawn, which looked gorgeous and sacred.

The ceremonial platform was surrounded by spectators, officials of the council of the city-state of Caster, nobles and commoners, most of whom looked enthusiastic and expectant.

“…… Thank you again for coming, and now I have Miss Carly Morris, the candidate of the Holy Maiden of the Church of the Dawn! ”

,

Wayne was in a bad mood when he heard the closing remarks of Harrington Deputy Speaker of the Council of the City-State of Caster.

Shouldn't the identity of the Holy Maiden be extremely secretive and need to be carefully kept secret?

Why is it being announced to everyone?

In this way, won't the wrong information he passed on to the liaison officer be exposed?

Is......

However, at this time, he may only be in a bad mood, and most of the believers who were worshipping outside the ceremony had already turned into extremely fanatical expressions on their faces, and kept shouting: "Praise the dawn, St. Carly......"

As the melodious hymns of the Church of Dawn sounded, these people suddenly fell silent again, solemn and solemn, as if the previous frenzy was just a praise.

At this moment, a magnificent carriage slowly drove into the Natori neighborhood and stopped in front of the ceremonial stage.

The carriage was draped with a flag representing the Church of the Dawn, the door opened, and Carly Morris walked slowly down.

She wore a gorgeous white gown with gold patterns on it, which set off her nobility and sacredness.

She wore an ornate crown on her head, which was inlaid with a glittering emblem of the Church of the Dawn made of gemstones.

Because your Spirit Level is greater than 40, you have successfully resisted the erosion of the power of Dawn's faith. Comments: Be careful...... Special Rewards: +5 Survival Points, +1 Spirit Level. 】

Wayne's heart sank, the panel gave him the evaluation of being careful?

Watch out for what, watch out for whom?

Is there a problem with the power of faith in this dawn?

But at this time, he didn't dare to make any moves, because his position—not far from the edge of the ceremony stage.

According to the notice issued by the senior management of the secret department, he will follow Lacey and the others to the ceremony stage together, waiting to greet Carly.

Not only that, but the Bishop Andrews will be blessing them.

"What's wrong, Wayne?" Lacey, who was next to him, noticed his abnormal movement and whispered, "Hold on a little longer, and when we come down from the stage, the ceremony will be over." ”

"Hmm."

Wayne didn't dare to say more, the ceremony table was surrounded by people from the Church of the Dawn and the Secret Division, as well as the high-ranking officials of the city-state of Custer, as well as ...... Guard.

Among these people, there are many powerful transcendents.

As early as he came to the ceremony stage, the screen was already frantically swiping on the panel, and there were no less than hundreds of spiritual perception scans alone.

Although this brought him a large wave of survival points, it also showed that in such an occasion, there must not be any abnormal performance, otherwise the end must be miserable......

"Welcome to the Church of the Dawn, the city-state of Castel, Bishop Andrews Herzog, and the ...... of Ales Coulibaly, Director of the Department of Investigation of Mysterious Events in the City-State of Caster"

As Carly walks onto the stage, Deputy Speaker Harrington loudly invites the two protagonists, Alex and Andrews, to come onto the stage and bless her together.

It also represents the grandest part of this welcome ceremony.

"The night will pass, but the dawn will live forever."

"May the light of the Lord of the Dawn shine forever on the world, and may all the good things ...... the world"

The clergy guarding the ceremonial platform bowed their heads and sang hymns, and the dawn light began to rise on their bodies, like light bulbs.

Farther away, the Dawn believers with the covenant were singing along.

It seems that this is not a welcoming ceremony, but a celebration of the dawn held by the Church of the Dawn......

[Because your spirit level is greater than 60, you have successfully resisted the erosion of the power of Dawn's faith.] Evaluation: Faith is condensing, rituals are going on. Special Rewards: +10 Survival Points, +1 Spirit Level. 】

[Because your spiritual level is greater than 80, you have successfully resisted the erosion of the power of Dawn's faith, Evaluation: Be careful, His gaze has come.] Special Rewards: +10 Survival Points, +1 Spirit Level, +1 Toughness Level. 】

He??

The sense of foreboding in Wayne's heart was even stronger, and it couldn't be the Lord of the Dawn, Orpheus, on the panel, right?

If Orpheus really comes, I'm afraid that this welcome ceremony will have a major change.

At this moment, after receiving the blessing, Carly turned to look at the crowd in the audience, her eyes were clear, and she said gently: "Praise Dawn, thank ......"

With her words, a holy light bloomed in her.

[You are in the place where the Dawn Faith is contained, because your Spirit Level is greater than 100, you have successfully resisted the erosion of the power of the Dawn Faith. Special Rewards: Survival Point +15, Spirit Level +2, Tenacity Level +2. 】

【……】

Formed a place of faith storage?

At this time, the people closest to Carly, whether it was the secret division, the city guards, or those nobles, all had more or less pious expressions on their faces.

Even Carly and the others next to Wayne began to change their faces......

"Enough!"

A loud shout rang out from the ceremony stage, interrupting Carly's chanting, and the dawn light on her came to a halt.

Everyone in the audience couldn't help but be stunned, especially the fanatical dawn believers whose eyes gradually changed, and they looked at the spoiler with eyes full of hatred.

Well?

Bishop Andrews, Vice-President of Parliament Harrington, and many prominent nobles and city-state leaders all looked at the person who interrupted the speech of the Virgin-in-Waiting, Alex Koulibaly.

"Ales, you ......"

"Andrews, the welcome is not a grand occasion for your Church of the Dawn,"

Ales's eyes were cold, and his momentum like a mountain pressed on Carly, "It's not an occasion for you to preach your faith, understand?" ”

Andrews's face darkened, "Ales, are you sure you want to stop ......"

"You're wrong," Ales interrupted him with a raised hand, "I'm already blocking it!" ”

Carly looked at them in a daze, wondering what she had done wrong.

The other people on the stage were even more at a loss, they all knew Ales's temper, they thought that today was just a formality, but they didn't expect this person to be unwilling to cooperate even in the cutscene?

"Ales, well, can you finish the ceremony first?"

Among those present, only Harrington, the deputy speaker representing the city-state council, was the highest, carefully organizing the words: "Today, almost half of the city-state is here, you ...... like this"

"Done? Hum! ”

Ales stepped out and walked past Carly to face everyone in the audience, "I announce that the celebration is over, and Miss Carly is very welcome to be joined by the Secret Division. ”

"At the same time, we will do our best to eradicate the infidels and ill-intentioned people hiding in the city-state."

"Thank you all for coming!"

After speaking, he didn't care about the attitude of other people, and walked straight to the stage.

And when he passed by the secret priests, his cold voice continued: "The celebration is over, what are you still doing here." ”

"If you're feeling relaxed, there are a lot of guys in the detention area who can provide you with fun......"

"What the chief said is, ministers, take your people back."

Deputy Director Balatz took his words with a headache on his face, and waved his hand to signal them to leave quickly, otherwise I am afraid that something more terrifying will happen.

The other senior leaders of the secret department, as well as the ministers of the departments, looked surprised, which is what the director should be.

I honestly agreed to participate in this celebration before, but it was obvious that the director's brain was short-circuited......

Seeing this, Wayne couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, the more serious evaluation content on the panel just now was almost scared to death.

If Ales hadn't interrupted, I'm afraid he would have really turned his gaze.

[The power of faith at dawn dissipates.] Evaluation: Thankfully, you're still you. Special Rewards: +1 Survival Points, +1 Origin. 】

Indeed, we should rejoice......

But when it's so dangerous, why don't you give 1 survival point, isn't it too inappropriate?

"Let's go."

Lacey took one last look at Carly on the stage, shook her head, and said, "It seems that our new colleague's induction ceremony was a bit bumpy. ”

Marco said sympathetically: "Indeed, but she is so beautiful, she should not be ......"

bang

"Keep your focus on business!"

Wayne took Tina's hand and left with him.

Lacey didn't know why Ales interrupted, but he knew it.

That is to prevent the Dawn from coming, and to save countless non-Dawn believers.

As a result, he doesn't have any sympathy for Carly.

As the panel said, if things are allowed to develop, maybe he is no longer him now......

As for Carly, as the bishop of the celebration, what role she plays in it, again, is not his concern now.

What he cares more about is that there must be something more important hidden behind this celebration!

After the members of the Secretarial Division left, the welcome ceremony held especially for Carly could only end hastily.

Deputy Speaker Harrington announced apologetically, "Thank you very much for coming, and in the light of the dawn, I hope that Her Excellency Carly will have a great time at the Secret Division." ”

"At the same time, we also wish her success in becoming one of the saints of the Church of the Dawn, and I would like to invite Bishop Andrews ......"

Andrews's face had returned to his former calmness, as if the departure of Ales and the others just now was just a small episode.

After uttering the formula blessing with extraordinary calm, he instructed the clergy of the church to lead the believers around him away.

"What is this? How could the Great Dawn be bullied by such a vulgar and oosen? ”

"That's it, we're going to punish him!"

"yes, you can't let him go like that......"

These fanatical believers felt humiliated.

The feeling that they had already felt the call of the dawn and were looking forward to the arrival of the Holy Grace was suddenly interrupted by someone made each of them furious.

But no matter what they said, those around them who were not Dawn believers had already left in a happy mood.

"I knew that Ales Koulibaly hated the church so much, how could he watch them jump around in front of him, and sure enough, ......"

"That's right, I'm really happy to see such a scene, haha......"

There are also many people with heavy faces, all thinking about the next impact of this matter, "Today's incident, the impact is not small." ”

"Well, the bishop is not a man of a big heart......"

"Let's go back first, this is not the place to talk, those people haven't left yet."

……

……

Two hours have passed since the end of the celebration, and the chapel of the Krems Cathedral is still quiet and peaceful.

"Teacher, I'm sorry, I ......"

Carly's expression was unusually depressed, and even the gorgeous dress on her body looked decadent.

"It's not your fault,"

Bishop Andrews gently comforted: "You don't have to blame yourself, and you don't have to be dissatisfied with what Ales did today, his temperament has always been like this. ”

"But I don't understand why he interrupted the ceremony?"

"It's probably a beautiful misunderstanding, trust me, it's not your fault."

Carly was still puzzled, but for a long time, her personality was not strong, so she just nodded, "Then next, do I still need to go to the Secret Division?" ”

"Of course,"

Bishop Andrews turned to look at the statue of the Dawn, "Following the guidance of the Great Dawn, there are many lost people in the Secret Division who need your salvation. ”

"Once you've completed this task, it's time to go to Crane to take over the crown of the Holy Maiden."

Carly nodded slightly, "Hmm." ”

"For us, who are bathed in light, all difficulties and setbacks are just a test for us. Only if you get rid of them can you get closer to the dawn. ”

"I know what to do, teacher."

"Go ahead, kid."

Carly bowed and turned to leave.

After a long time, Bishop Andrews looked at the statue with a calm face, and slowly spoke: "The plan failed, what else do you have to plan?" ”

Melbell's figure quietly appeared, "No. ”

"Just give up?"

Bishop Andrews looked at him, "Originally, I hoped to use the Holy Grace to ascend to the throne of the Holy Maiden, accept the crown of dawn, and guide more people to accept the baptism of dawn by the way, but now it ......"

"It's only a matter of time," Melbert said calmly, "and fate has already turned a page, and no one can stop it." ”

"That's good......"

"This time, thank you very much for your help, and leave the rest to me."

Andrews pursed his lips and was silent for a moment before he spoke, "I hope you can take care of her, she is really a true devout believer." ”

"Well, I know that better than anyone."

With that, Melbel quietly disappeared, leaving Andrews alone, standing quietly in this place of dawn attention.

……

……

In the secret department, it was as if nothing had happened, and everyone did their own thing and did what they had to do.

It's just that from the way they whispered from time to time, it is not difficult to find that they all care about the scene that happened during the ceremony.

But none of this had anything to do with Wayne, who was looking at Lacey with a headache on his face.

Well, it's literal, the head hurts...... The sockets of both eyes were bruised and swollen to block his vision, and there were several more bags on his head.

"I'm glad you offered to invite me to a gladiatorial fight."

Lacey stood across from him with an excited face, no weapons in his hands, only a pair of gloves, "This is going to be a gladiatorial fight that you will never forget." ”

Wayne: "......"

Hell, it's a monster in human skin.

Without being able to attack with a musket, he simply had no way to inflict damage on Lacey.

"Alright, the warm-up is over, I'll allow you to use your weapon, try again."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course, you don't think it's ......"

Bang, bang......

Before she could finish speaking, Wayne had already drawn his musket and fired a barrage of bullets......

Try it and you'll die!

Don't die, Sister Lacey!
