Chapter 45 Dust in the Beam

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 The light in the house was very dark because all the doors and windows were closed.

Moreover, Trinidad was just a knight after all, and his mansion was not particularly big. Hundreds of people rushed in, and the place was quickly filled to the brim.

Everywhere Adele looked was human figures. She was short and stood at the very back. Even if she stood on tiptoes, she could only see the backs of the people in front of her.

But soon a strong lizard man noticed her inconvenience, so he lowered his body and motioned for the priestess to sit up.

The priestess waved her hands when she saw this, but the lizard man didn't give her a chance to refuse. Seeing that she refused to come up, he directly carried her onto his shoulders.

Adele let out an exclamation, and then found that her field of vision suddenly broadened.

Only then did she notice that the lizard people looked messy, but in fact they stood quite orderly. Most of the people in the front were relatively short women and children, while the tall ones took the initiative to stay behind.

That means she arrived too late, otherwise she would have been pushed forward by the lizard people.

At the front of the crowd is a stone wall with a piece of white cloth hanging on it.

The priestess looked a little confused and thought, is this all there is? The venue for Shuangxiuo's activities must be too crudely decorated.

There was no altar, no exquisite statues of gods, no flowers or beautiful glass ornaments, and even the white cloth did not have the emblem of the order on it.

And with so many people crammed into a small room, even breathing became stuffy.

Adele already regretted coming here, and she was just thinking about how to politely leave. The next moment, a burst of melodious and exciting music suddenly came to her ears.

The priestess' eyes quickly swept over the people in the room again, but she could not find the musician playing the music.

Adele couldn't help but have a look of confusion on her face.

At this moment, a fat lizard man suddenly began to sing.

And this time he actually used the lingua franca of Bratis, so Adele could also understand his lyrics.

Just listen to him singing.

Ah! Friends! Are you still out of breath from the heavy work?/Come and join us and join the ocean of happiness and joy!/Saturday!

All the lizardmen sang together.

Saturday!!!

The fat lizard man continued to sing.

On Saturday it is generous and merciful / shining brightly on the earth! / Our hearts are full of enthusiasm / Come to your temple / Your power can make people / eliminate all differences! / Under your light / All the seas are brothers!

Chorus: Your power can make people / eliminate all differences! / Under your light / we are brothers in the four seas!

Soprano Quartet:

It comes from the distant kingdom of God!/It travels thousands of miles/to sow the seeds of civilization and happiness!/Everyone who believes in it/will live a wonderful life!/Everyone who doesn’t believe in it/can only cry in the winter!

Chorus: Anyone who believes in it/will live a wonderful life!/Those who don’t believe in it/can only cry in the winter!

…………

This Saturday hymn was adapted by Li Yu on the basis of "Ode to Joy".

The original music comes from the fourth movement of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.

Beethoven had always admired Schiller and wanted to compose music for Schiller's "Ode to Joy" when he was young. His Ninth Symphony took twenty years to prepare, experiencing the glory and disillusionment of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic era.

The original song itself conveys the beautiful ideal of building a new world of freedom and joy. It perfectly fits the teachings of Shuangxiujiao and can be used directly with only slight modifications.

Moreover, the Ninth Symphony is the pinnacle work of Beethoven, a generation of musical giants, and there is no doubt about its artistry.

Adele was born into a noble family and had received a certain amount of artistic influence, so she could hear the extraordinary nature of this piece of music better than the lizard people.

In contrast, the Silver Moon Church also has many hymns to Pithiya. In fact, the church invests a lot of money in outstanding bards every year, asking them to go around singing the glorious deeds of the goddess.

But even if all the hymns written by the bards were added together, they couldn't compare to the one she heard now.

Especially when the lizard people sang in chorus, the high and vigorous morale almost brought down the roof. Even Adele, an outsider, could feel the power contained in it.

Moreover, the magnificent and passionate movement was obviously played by more than one instrument, but the priestess stretched her neck and could not find those instruments or players.

This is strange. Could it be that this voice really came from the Kingdom of God?

Thinking of this, Adele's body was shocked again.

As the song ended, Hera turned on the projector in front of her according to Li Yu's instructions.

A beam of white light hit the curtain.

You can still see flying dust in that beam of light.

Before the priestess could fully recover from the shock of the symphony chorus, she was shocked again.

This is... light?

Speaking of which, she had heard some rumors before, saying that the prophet Merlin could control thunder, lightning and light.

But Adele didn't really believe in these rumors. How could a mortal possess the power of a god?

But now, the scene that happened before her eyes once again broke her cognition.

What was even more incredible to her was that a few seconds later, the upper body of a man in black clothes appeared on the white curtain.

The priestess couldn't help but let out a scream! She quickly covered her eyes with her hands.

How terrible! In Adele's opinion, a person would be dead if only half of his body was left, let alone that person's body still hanging on the wall.

Everyone said that those lizard people were cruel and bloodthirsty, and what they said was indeed true.

No matter how hospitable these people are, they all have a cruelty hidden deep in their hearts.

However, the priestess felt a hand pat her back gently, as if to comfort her.

Adele cautiously looked out from between her fingers and saw many lizardmen nearby looking this way, looking for the source of the screams.

After seeing the priestess, many people chuckled involuntarily.

The priestess could tell that there was no malice in those laughs, they were just for fun, and some people pointed in the direction of the white cloth.

The priestess boldly glanced there again and found that the half figure was still alive, and there was no sign of pain on her face. Instead, she was talking.

He said something, and there was a half-body lizard man next to him who translated something. However, Adele couldn't understand what they said, but she could already roughly guess who the figure in black clothes was inside.

——Prophet Merlin, he is preaching on that piece of white cloth.
