When viewed from the sky, the Evangelical Church is undoubtedly magnificent. The cross-shaped main hall, the north-south side halls, and the cloisters that intersect between the main hall and the side halls together form a complex and detailed structure. And once you enter this
Only when you look at a church will you discover that this sense of sophistication, which was born out of the classical style, is actually reflected in every aspect.
The arc arch supported by one hundred and twenty steps is like an infinite corridor, progressing layer by layer. The walls on both sides are inlaid with gray reliefs, depicting the deeds of great creatures. As you walk along, white columns keep passing by.
, will give people the illusion of being trapped in a repetitive time. After entering the interior, you will be amazed by its magnificent shape. The length and width of the main hall alone is enough to compare with the entire Tianxin Church, and
The interior walls are entirely made of polished marble blocks, and the jade-white surface has a faint cold light.
The space is upward and inward, constantly rising and widening. The pointed arc-shaped arch guides people's eyes to rise upward, and finally solidifies in the sacred flame pendant under the dome, which is full of solemnity.
The walls on both sides of the main hall are supported by columns and have no windows. Unlike other churches, which are inlaid with gorgeous stained glass windows, which use gorgeous colors to highlight the holy atmosphere of religion, they are deliberately hidden with darkness, and the reliefs on the walls are in the shadows.
Only vague lines can be seen in it, but it looks even more solemn and solemn. There are no candles, and only a rose-shaped skylight is opened under the dome. As the only light source, its design is quite ingenious. The light falling at noon is just concentrated.
On the altar at the deepest part of the main hall, the strong contrast highlights the splendor and brightness of faith.
At the same time, rows of neat wooden benches were lined up along the red carpet in the center. A rough scan showed that there were about hundreds of seats, which was not a small scale. But after the introduction of the old man Pancras, as a prototype
St. Anville's Cross Church has a total of 4,700 seats in the main hall alone. The entire church combined can accommodate more than 17,000 believers to gather and pray, which cannot but be said to be an astonishing number.
Although, it is difficult to find so many animist believers in the land of Renkweil now.
There is a tall statue of God standing on the altar. It is a man wearing a robe and holding a sheepskin scroll and a quill. He has a solemn expression and a serious look on his face. His deep eyes look to the horizon, as if penetrating the wall of the main hall and seeing something even more distant.
World - Considering that the prototype of the Evangelical Cathedral is St. Anver's Cross Church, and the prototype of St. Anver's Cross Church is the All Saints Evangelical Monastery, then it is self-evident who the statue of the god enshrined here is.
Already.
Perhaps it shouldn’t be called a god, but a holy statue. Because he is not a god like Titan, the earth mother spiritual god believed in by the Fertile Earth Sect, or Tifo, the spring spiritual god believed by the Holy Spring Monks, but
A holy man who was canonized as a mortal and gradually became holy in the worship of countless people. This may be true even for the Steam Order and the Union of Orders, which once suppressed animist beliefs.
Can't deny it.
Although few people know that he actually has a cold side, he will do anything for the benefit of mankind, betray his promise, and even indirectly trigger the catastrophe of the natural disaster.
Old Pancras, who led the guests to the main hall to pay homage to the statue of the saint, bowed his head slightly and prayed devoutly to the saint on the altar. Under his influence, some of the native people in the shelter who came to join in the fun also followed suit and shut themselves up.
Pray with your eyes - such as the three sisters of the Photon Elf. Their attitude cannot be said to be very pious, but at least they are very serious, even the little sister Bei Min, who hates humans the most, is no exception. But Linge knows that this is not because they harbor feelings for Saint Tomi.
Respect, but respect for the old man in front of you.
A true believer can infect others with his own character and subtly guide them to the path of good or evil. The three photon elf sisters in front of him, including other aliens in the sanctuary, may have been influenced by him
Only then are you willing to dedicate your goodwill to a human sage who has passed away for thousands of years.
Linge watched this scene silently, and Saint Xalia also watched this scene silently. The two sisters were following behind her. Olvera stared at the statue of the saint, and she didn’t know what she was thinking. Letty
West Asia was not interested at all, but she restrained her emotions in the solemn atmosphere and did not appear strange.
Although they had already learned the story from Feier, their memories were too far away and gradually became unfamiliar. They no longer had any impression of the man enshrined on the altar, let alone what they felt when they were betrayed by him.
How do you feel? It would be too serious to say resentment, and it would be inappropriate to say relief. Maybe you can only think of it as other people's stories?
What is experienced personally is unforgettable, while other people's stories are just the reverberations of the noise.
Therefore, the witches who still retain their memories still harbor hatred towards Saint Tumi and the animist believers who follow him, but the girls who have lost their memories can put this past behind them. Should this be said to be a good thing?
Or is it a bad thing? No one can tell clearly yet.
Ringer sometimes wondered whether the "Religious Decree" jointly issued by the sect against the Spiritual Prayer Meeting was because of the witches' revenge for that betrayal? But every time he had this thought, he would think again.
I deny it myself, because judging from the first impression of contact with him, neither Carabosse in the Dark Castle nor Feir outside the Xugen Swamp look like that kind of person.
While he was thinking wildly, Old Pancras had finished his prayer and turned back to the guests with an apologetic expression: "I'm sorry to keep you waiting. As I get older, it's difficult to concentrate, and even a simple prayer seems difficult.
Get up and make all the guests laugh."
"It doesn't matter, Lord Pancras." Ringer replied: "It is extremely impolite to interrupt the prayers of believers. I think even the children on the roadside understand this. Besides..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He was in a trance for a while, and for some reason a figure that had disappeared from his memory for a long time suddenly appeared. Even his voice was much lower: "I have had a similar experience before."
"Similar experience?"
The old man's eyes were like an ancient well buried for many years, wise and deep. He stared prudently at the young man's face, his dry red beard moved, and then he spit out an unexpected name from his mouth: "You mean Luo
Sher?"
Ringer was slightly startled: "Do you know him too, Lord Pancras?"
"Haha, I am friends with his teacher, so I can be regarded as his elder. After the Holy City of Bishan of the Fertile Tu Sect was attacked and destroyed by the sect, he came to visit me alone, hoping to get my guidance. I advise
He should not be blinded by hatred and should recall his original intention of converting to faith. But he told me that his teacher hoped that he could become a true believer, so no matter how high the price, he would practice it
This mission will never disappoint teachers’ expectations.”
When the old man said this, he sighed softly: "I know his teacher, and I know that the meaning of this sentence is definitely not what he understood. But at that time, his attitude was particularly firm. I knew that there was no way to persuade him. I could only
Let him leave and pursue his own path. Later, I heard that he summoned the Earth Mother Spirit God - Titan Master and the Spring Spirit God - Tifu Master in neighboring Laisenberg, trying to challenge the alliance of the religious orders. As a result
He was defeated by death. After his death, the Fertile Land Sect existed in name only. Although there are still believers scattered around the world, there is no such pious, decisive and self-clear 'walker' as him."
He raised his head, and there was a large white spot in his left eye that could only see. It was both terrifying and inexplicably profound: "From the first time we met just now, I can feel the influence he left on you.
breath, are you his friend, young man?"
The young man was silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head: "No."
"So, are you his enemy?"
The young man shook his head again: "No."
He said word for word: "Rochelle called me a true believer. I don't know how I saw him, but in the battle of Leisenburg, I personally destroyed the earth he summoned.
Mother Spirit God-Titan. So, you can think... I killed him."
After the words fell, the atmosphere in the main hall suddenly became stagnant.
