There is a spacious floor in front of the main entrance of the outer hall of the Temple of Light.
There is a circular sculpture fountain in the middle of the floor.
A line of white light extended from the left and right of the fountain, dividing the entire floor into two halves.
Half of the area is close to the temple. A high platform has been built here with tables and chairs. It is the place where the canonization ceremony is held.
The other half is closer to the main road, and all players are blocked in this area.
Even some NPCs were unable to pass through the white light and were stopped by church members.
As more and more people are attracted, the place becomes more lively and even noisy.
"What are you doing?"
"Why don't you let people pass?"
"What kind of activities does the Light Church seem to be doing?"
"An event? I feel like something is going to happen!"
…
The players were talking a lot and looking in the direction of the high platform curiously.
Afterwards, Jiang Chen passed through the somewhat bustling crowd and came to the white light.
Unlike other players, when he passed the light, no church members came to stop him.
Seeing this scene, the surrounding players started talking again.
There were also people who thought they were smart and walked in along Jiang Chen's route, but were pushed out by a Holy See knight the next second.
"Non-Illuminati believers are not allowed to enter, and those who refuse to listen after repeated warnings will be severely punished!"
After the captain of the Holy See Knight scolded, the players who wanted to try to enter stopped.
Here, Jiang Chen found a chair in the corner and sat down.
More than ten meters in front of him to the right was the newly built high platform, which was the ceremonial platform.
The ceremony platform is about two meters high and more than ten meters long. It is covered with a layer of gold foil and surrounded by flower clusters of different colors.
There were fifty or sixty chairs under the stage. In the first row, there was a round table next to each chair, with tea and fruit plates on it.
As time went by, more and more players came to watch, until the main road was full of people.
Most of the seats under the ceremony stage were full.
Immediately, Jiang Chen saw Bai Dingyang walking down the stage. He sat in the middle seat of the second row, next to Merck.
But then he and Merck stood up again, with their bodies slightly bent, smiling and paying attention.
Following the gazes of the two men, they saw Benedict walking over wearing a red robe.
He sat expressionlessly in the middle seat of the first row.
Just when Bai Dingyang and Merck were about to sit down, another figure in red robe came over.
The two of them quickly stood up and saluted, because the person who came was Jin Daofu, who sat next to Benedict.
Immediately afterwards, a woman wearing an oversized red cloak walked over. Most of her face was blocked by the brim of the hat on her head, and only her bright red lips could be vaguely seen.
This is the church's only female cardinal, Aretis.
Almost no one knows what she looks like, she is very mysterious.
Afterwards, several elderly people came to the audience one after another and sat in the first row of seats.
Jiang Chen has never seen these people before.
As the first row filled up, the audience became quieter, but the players were still noisy.
"It's almost 8 o'clock."
Jiang Chen looked at the time, it was now 7:52.
There are only a few minutes left for the so-called canonization ceremony, and most of the dignitaries of the Holy See are present.
However, Luo Lianyue still didn't show up.
Similarly, the Pope and Zaku, as well as the guardian angels who had appeared in Luoxian Valley before, did not appear.
After another five or six minutes, a priest holding a book of scriptures walked up to the ceremony stage.
He first bowed slightly and saluted the people sitting under the stage, and then walked to the center of the stage.
"Everyone, today is the canonization ceremony of the Saint. We will witness the birth of the new Saint under the sacred light!"
The priest held the scripture in his hand, raised his head and shouted loudly: "Next, the sacred song will be played, please stand up!"
Immediately, everyone in the seats stood up one after another.
Jiang Chen looked around and stood up.
Immediately afterwards, a group of nuns wearing white dresses and wreaths came to the ceremony stage.
They all held various musical instruments in their hands, including cellos, harps, flutes, piccolos, and tambourines.
After taking their positions, these girls played the musical instruments in their hands.
A burst of melodious music sounded immediately.
It sounds extremely holy and beautiful, making people intoxicated.
Jiang Chen found that this music seemed to have magic power, making him feel extremely peaceful, as if a warm hand was caressing his soul.
Players standing outside the white light can also hear the sound of the performance.
The originally noisy and noisy environment suddenly became quiet.
Many people even closed their eyes with happy smiles on their faces.
"Praise the light!"
At this time, the girls on the stage chanted in unison, their voices were like the spring breeze blowing on the face, making people feel extremely comfortable.
"Praise the light!"
Everyone in the audience followed suit and shouted.
"Praise the light!"
Not only that, the players in the distance also shouted.
It seems that everyone is a devout Illuminati believer.
"Praise the light..."
Similarly, Jiang Chen couldn't help but shout after him.
After he finished shouting, he was suddenly startled and said to himself in a shocked voice: "What happened just now...Why did I shout out after you?"
"This is a hymn that can guide the soul." The voice of the spirit sounded.
"To put it simply, it's just brainwashing?" Jiang Chen thought to himself.
"That's understandable." Ling replied.
"I've heard too much, and I'm afraid I might actually believe in the Holy See of Light. It's really scary..."
Jiang Chen murmured, then closed his eyes and hummed a ditty in his heart: "Two tigers, two tigers, run fast..."
This can divert your attention from listening to the music played on the ceremony stage.
…
The performance lasted for nearly ten minutes.
After the ceremony, the girls left the ceremony stage.
Everyone in the audience also sat back on their chairs.
The priest holding a scripture in his hand returned to the center of the stage and recited a eulogy: "O great God of light, you purify evil for the world, you bring hope to the world..."
Jiang Chen never expected that this hymn would not end even after reciting it for an hour!
Although he slept well last night, he was still feeling sleepy at this moment.
He slowly closed his eyes and gradually fell asleep.
…
"Next, please invite the saint to come to the stage to accept the canonization!"
In a daze, Jiang Chen heard such words.
He woke up instantly, opened his eyes and looked at the ceremony stage.
I saw a beautiful woman in full dress appearing on the stage.
Her white dress lingered on the floor, standing tall and graceful, looking extremely dignified and holy.
The woman is Luo Lianyue.
At the same time, Jiang Chen was surprised to find that Luo Lianyue's waist-length straight hair had completely turned white.
"Pure White Saint..."
Jiang Chen couldn't help but murmured.
All of this is exactly the same as in the previous life.
"Please allow the saint to read the oath."
At this time, the priest standing next to the ceremony platform said with a smile.
"I am willing to sacrifice my life for the light, and I am also willing to spread the faith of the God of Light in the world."
Immediately, Luo Lianyue raised her chin slightly and said something without joy or sorrow.
"I don't agree!"
Suddenly, a roar came from far away.
Luo Lianyue's delicate body trembled and she looked forward in disbelief.
Everyone sitting under the stage also looked back.
Jiang Chen also looked shocked and followed the sound.
I saw a handsome young man standing on the fountain sculpture in the middle of the floor.
"Luo Lengxing?!"
Looking at this person, Jiang Chen couldn't help but open his mouth.
