Chapter 174: The Power of Faith
Triumph Square, the festival of the Kingdom of Fez.
As the salute sounded, Morton Fez, dressed in a sumptuous golden robe, slowly walked to the high platform in the center of the square, escorted by a group of people.
Walking on a long red carpet and passing by the knights who drew their swords and saluted, His Majesty ascended the steps step by step to sit on the throne, which symbolized the most honorable honor of the kingdom.
Morton Fez's face was much better than the previous two times he saw Lees, his face was ruddy, his eyes were attentive, and he smiled and gestured to the nobles who were saluting around him.
It may also be a cover to reassure the people of the kingdom, after all, Morton Fez is known as the wisest king since the establishment of the kingdom, and is the soul of the rise of the Fez Kingdom to become the strongest kingdom in the Eastern Continent.
It can be said that just the news of his death will cause a storm.
However, Li Si knew that Morton Fez's death had been delayed for a long time, paving the way for Atayal to take over the kingdom's rights smoothly.
After King Morton ascended the throne, the celebration of the Holy Day officially began.
In recent years, the celebration of the Holy Day was presided over by the Duke of Hard.
The first is the ritual of offering sacrifices and blessings to the god of the dawn and the goddess of the earth.
As the main faith in the Fez Kingdom, the Dawn Church naturally occupies the majority of believers in the kingdom, but this does not mean that there are no beliefs in other gods.
For example, the goddess of the earth, the god of war and many other gods have believers and churches in the Fez Kingdom, and there are even large and small gods and goddesses that have spread in various places, but the scale is far less than that of the Dawn Church.
The Dawn Church does not have a comprehensive ban on the spread of faith among other gods, at most it only excludes and squeezes them.
In the Bright City, there are churches of other god churches, which are much smaller in scale, and there are no strong people stationed to guard them.
The other Church of the Gods assumes that the Kingdom of Fez is the stronghold of the Church of Dawn, and vice versa.
The Zhengshen sequence, which is also in the camp of human gods, still maintains a relatively harmonious state internally under external pressure, after all, casually targeting other god believers will cause divine wars.
However, for those cult churches, it is not so particular.
In the festival ceremony, the gods of the kingdom are the god of the morning sun and the goddess of the earth.
The god of the dawn is naturally the main object of worship, and the members of the royal family, officials and nobles of the Fezy kingdom and most of the people believe in the god of the dawn.
The goddess of the earth is more special, after all, the festival is a festival to celebrate the harvest and pray for good weather in the coming year.
All the nobles and Kingdom officials present in order to offer a plump golden ear of wheat to the idols of the god of the dawn and the goddess of the earth, and His Majesty, accompanied by the second prince Yatan, presented to the two gods the most abundant fruits and vegetables of autumn, and the white bread that had just been baked and still smelled of the sun.
After the pastors of the Church of Dawn and the Church of the Earth presented the Franc and Pansy flowers, which represent the gods of the Dawn, to the altar and sprinkled them with clove and benzoin essential oils, all those present bowed their heads and prayed to the two gods.
The same is true of the residents around the square, and there are even devout believers who fall to their knees and fold their hands in silent prayer.
I am grateful for this year's harvest and tranquility!
Pray for peace and good luck in the coming year!
Although Li Si did not believe in the two gods, or just a shallow believer, he couldn't help but be a little more serious under the influence of this solemn atmosphere, and then lowered his head and recited two sentences silently in his heart.
At this moment, Li Si seemed to feel something.
I don't know if it's because I've been in contact with the power of the gods many times, or if I've looked directly at the gods.
Li Si felt an inexplicable force slowly wandering around him, converging among the idols from all directions.
This.
This was the first time Li Si had encountered such a situation, and he looked around cautiously, and had a little guess in his heart.
From the people who were praying quietly around the square, there were constantly wisps of power floating out, but the inexplicable power that appeared on the nobles was much less.
This inexplicable power continued to condense in the two statues, and the fluctuations of divine power that made people's hearts and minds peaceful and physically strong spread out from the statues, and at the same time, the statues began to emit a pale white light.
After feeling the miracle above the idol, the people couldn't help but become more devout to their faith in their hearts.
Li Si clearly saw that two illusory doors were opened on top of the two statues, constantly accepting the power condensed in the statues.
Could it be that what you feel is the power of faith?
The root of the gods?
No wonder there is such a big battle, sure enough, the power of faith is very important to the gods!
Li Si secretly noticed that although these powers of faith were still far away for him, after all, they were the root of what the gods were fighting for, and there must be great secrets in them.
It was only after the priests of the Church of Dawn and the Church of the Earth announced the end of the ritual that the solemn atmosphere gradually dissipated.
Some of the people around the square also left to enjoy the rare drinks and food of the day, but many more stayed behind and waited for the subsequent canonization ceremony.
This is also the talk of many civilians in Bright City after dinner.
The so-and-so family is no longer good, and the new head of the family has not inherited the title.
So-and-so is so powerful, he was directly canonized as a court viscount.
Li Si also stood aside under the leadership of the attendants, waiting for the call of His Majesty the King.
Looking at the number of people lined up behind him, Li Si couldn't help but laugh.
It seems that this canonization ceremony is the youngest, but the result is still standing at the forefront.
Several people behind him were also a little confused, after all, many of them were canonized for the first time, so naturally they didn't know Li Si.
However, they also know that the higher the knighthood awarded in the canonization ceremony, the more they will appear first.
And the young man in front of him, so young, is he going to inherit the title of his ancestors, and he has never heard of any great nobleman who has passed away.
Li Si naturally ignored the doubts of others, and he didn't attach much importance to this marquis, after all, he had already chosen another transcendent path that was more ambitious, broader, and more difficult.
Li Si believed that this marquis title was just an embellishment for him.
For example, Mr. Fran, as a legendary mage, he could occupy a piece of land and establish himself as a king, but he was so troublesome that he didn't even accept the title of duke of the kingdom.
Just as Lees's thoughts were wandering, Duke Hard's voice rang out.
"Silence!"
"Canonization ceremony, begin!"
"Please"
"Viscount of the Court, Lees Kane!"
