The Great Hermitage of All Saints Gospel is the oldest religious building in human history. Its long history can be traced back to ancient times, the first city built by human civilization: Aldes, the land of all souls. It is a belief
In an era when the fire of God had just sprouted and the power of human intelligence gradually became stronger, Tumi, the undoubted saint in the minds of countless humans, guided this process of germination and growth, and wrote the beginning of the religious history of mankind under the name of the "Spirit Prayer Meeting"
.The prefixes "All Saints" and "All Souls" explain the core teachings of this great sect: all things have animism and can be holy.
When the era of chaos came, the history of today's civilization was unclear, and countless historians were puzzled by the catastrophes, divine changes, and celestial changes. After the three catastrophes of the Pan-Ocean continent split into the two continents of today's east and west, after the violent
In the turmoil, Aldes, the hometown of all spirits, sank into the ground, and the Great Hermitage of All Saints Gospel also disappeared. The animist believers in the Western Continent fought against the heretics of the Holy Theocracy of Nordorn in the Eastern Continent.
In the name of orthodoxy, it was decided to build another church of the same shape on the land of Renkwell, which has an equally ancient history and is considered to be the place where Aldes, the land of all souls, sank.
.
Since then, it has become a holy place in the hearts of all animist believers on the Sigiriya continent, even though the Animist Prayer Society has split into countless small groups such as the Fertile Earth Sect, the Ancestral Spirit Sect, the Holy Spring Monks, and the Druid Sect.
The sect has not changed. However, the power in the religious world is always changing, and no one is the eternal master. Therefore, the rise of the Steam Order and the Union of Orders has greatly shaken the existence of all things.
The foundation of animism, especially the "Religious Decree" issued by the latter, has caused countless animist believers to be forced into exile and become wandering rootless people.
St. Anvil's Cross Church was closed at that time. Ringer remembered the time very clearly: August 12, 1778, "Restrictions on the Operation and Preaching Rights of Illegal Church Organizations such as the Spiritual Prayer Meeting and Druidism"
The Decree on Religion was promulgated, and animism was no longer respected; and 77 years later, on June 5, 1855, the supplementary regulations to the Religious Decree were promulgated, and all sects met the same end as animism.
Including the Holy Goddess Cult.
In this way, St. Anville's Cross Church closed 77 years earlier than Tianxin Church. Just like Tianxin Church still stands at No. 13 Pine Street, Holy Cross District, Linville City, St. Anville's Cross Church also always stands at
However, the Seven Stars Area in Lunweting, the capital, has become a thing of the past and no one cares about it. No more animist believers will come all the way to make a pilgrimage here to offer a devout prayer for the holy spirits in the church.
It's just that Linge didn't expect to see another hidden church named after the Evangelical College, the spiritual successor of St. Anvil's Cross Church, in the Three Mountains so far away from the city of Lunweiting. He just didn't know.
Does the prototype mentioned by Siesta refer to himself as the owner of the Evangelical Church, or is it recognized by animist believers?
She seemed to have said that the owner of the Evangelical College was also the founder and manager of this alien sanctuary. His name should be Pancras, right? Linking this name to St. Anville Cross Church, Ringer finally understood
Why do I feel familiar with it?
Just as he was daydreaming in his mind, Ieta had already controlled the Cloud Whale Sky Island under the guidance of Belfi to fly over the holy white arch, columned cloister and two towering cross spiers outside the Evangelical Cathedral, along the sloping flight path.
The walkway formed by buttresses led to the atrium square with a huge fountain pool. It was a wide area and there were no other buildings around it. It was suitable for the island to dock. Moreover, when they arrived here, there were already people waiting on the ground.
Already.
"Hey, here, here!" Best flew out of the windmill tower excitedly and waved to the ground: "Everyone, I brought the guests back!"
Then a burst of warm cheers broke out on the ground. Ringer borrowed her beloved telescope from Iyeta, took a look at the ground, and found that among the people who came to watch, there were all kinds of strange races: there were common water and
There are natural spirits such as demons, wood spirits, rotten wood spirits, stone spirits, and tree-dwelling spirits, as well as extremely rare intelligent races such as wind fairies, dust elves, bibots, and dwarfs; there are half-feathered eagles who symbolize peace and justice,
There are kind-hearted races such as sphinxes and Nephidian lions, and there are also gray races with less glorious reputations such as werewolves, vampires and night watchers.
Some Ringers have seen and interacted with them, and even have their own race living on Cloud Whale Sky Island; while others are completely unfamiliar and can only rely on observing their appearance and recalling the characteristics described by Saint Xalia to determine their race.
However, they all have the same characteristic, that is, they are very small in number. There are only four or five members of the same race at most, which cannot form the basis of the life of a large family or tribe. From this aspect, it is speculated that they should be a joint extermination operation by religious groups.
The survivors in the shelter will become a part of this shelter because they have lost the support of their relatives, and the owners of the shelter will accept all comers. No matter what their character or reputation is, as long as they are desperate,
All kinds of aliens can find space to survive here.
He should have great prestige among these aliens. This is not only seen from the fact that races that are hostile to each other, such as werewolves and vampires, deadwood demons and tree-dwelling spirits, wind elves and dust elves, can coexist harmoniously without fighting.
The most important thing is to observe with the naked eye: because the old man named Pancras, leaning on a cane, stood silently at the front of the crowd, and other aliens respectfully kept at least half a meter away from him.
, judging from the expressions on their faces, this respect is obviously sincere.
He was a very distinctive and impressive old man, which was reflected in every aspect visible to the naked eye. The first was his appearance. Ringer did not want to slander the older man, but he also did not want to lie, so he had to admit that,
Lord Pancras actually looks very ugly. He is about seventy or eighty years old, short in stature, with short limbs, hunched back, silent, rough brown skin covered with age spots, as dull as dead tree bark, and rough lips.
, the open left eye has no pupil, only the white of the eye, and the right eye is cut by a ferocious scar and is tightly closed. The hair on the head is sparse, revealing a rugged forehead like a ravine, and a long messy red beard.
When it is dragged to the ground, its luster reminds people of the cracked red earth, which is drought due to lack of water.
However, in stark contrast to this appearance, is his demeanor: it is a gentle, calm, and seemingly tolerant spirit; in his eyes, you can see the tranquility like the night and the warmth like the sun,
It seems as if he is watching every soul in the world equally; his hunched body has a kind of spirituality and wisdom given to all human beings by the goddess who created the world. Even the most hard-hearted people have to ignore him when they see it.
His appearance was deeply moved by the various qualities that could be seen in history.
His appearance, demeanor and demeanor all make people cannot help but believe that if there is a true saint in the world, he is probably this kind of person.
"He is the master of Evangelical College, Lord Pancras."
The voice of the countess came from the side, and her words were sincere praise: "A respectable elder."
