After the little kitten makes a wish, the next wish will have to wait until ten days later.
Gallo checked the status of the Flower of Hope and found that the most important collective prayer function had indeed been slightly enhanced, which was a little worse than he expected.
This is probably because the first time was an experiment and no one else was invited to watch. There were only five kittens plus myself participating, right?
Next time, it would be best to hold a grand ceremony to let more people know about this prayer technique, thereby strengthening the effect of collective prayers.
This collective prayer function should be regarded as some kind of "belief" power, similar to people's belief in the basic common sense of "the sun rises in the east and sets in the west" and "people will die if they are killed".
Gallo hopes to use this function to make people believe in the concept that "wish can come true".
This level of concept is too powerful and too broad. Neither he nor Miya can write it directly with power. Even if it is written, it is difficult to control, so they can only use this more tortuous method.
, let people slowly believe it.
As more and more people believe in it, this concept will gradually take shape. However, it will never become a real concept. It will be vague, unclear, unreal, and cannot be directly used, but it will not affect the operation of the world.
state.
Gallo can then guide and utilize the concept of "wish can come true" through collective prayer, and then he can use this concept to strengthen himself and the existence of the goddess Miya.
Even leading people to pray together, 'We can defeat the Star God', is possible.
Anyway, this is the principle of using the prayer technique to feed back the collective prayer technique.
This will be one of Gallo's trump cards against the Star God.
"Let's wait ten days and then see..."
Gallo murmured something in a low voice and let the kittens go and play by themselves.
The little kittens immediately ran out of the church, looking very scared.
"It seems like it scared them?"
Gallo muttered guiltily.
But before long, he suddenly heard the screams of dogs coming from outside.
"Ooooooooooo!"
After a while, the little kittens came back to him again, looking proud.
Gallo was feeling puzzled when a neighbor from next door suddenly came to the door.
He was the owner of the newsstand on the street corner. Although he had not joined the Miya sect, he was still an old acquaintance. The old bishop often went to him to buy newspapers, and Amiya often went to him to read free fashion magazines.
"Bishop Gallo! There is a monster! There is a monster!"
The newsstand owner said in a panic, and then described the monster's appearance to Gallo incoherently.
It was probably a scary cat man, with muscles like stone and dressed like a gangster, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere and bullied his big dog.
Although the newsstand owner is a nice person, he has a big, strong dog that can not only catch mice but also help look after the store.
This dog is usually very honest with people and doesn't growl or bark. When it sees Gallo and Amiya, it will keep wagging its tail.
But when it comes to other small animals, he is particularly fierce. He often chases other people's dogs and cats, and even dares to bark at Gallo's little donkey.
The little kitten must have been bullied by it, right? The old bishop sometimes asked the little kitten to help buy newspapers, and Amiya sometimes took them to read fashion magazines. She must have been bullied by this big dog.
As a result, this time, the little milk cat gained strength and immediately went back to take revenge.
It's true that you must retaliate for your anger. It's very Gallo's style.
Gallo smiled, comforted the boss a few words, gave him a gold coin, and asked him to find a veterinarian to look at the dog. Finally, he gave him two magic spells to show his comfort.
The boss also looked puzzled. He could understand the comfort, but why should he give himself money?
But he didn't have time to think too much and ran to the veterinarian.
Gallo, on the other hand, called the kittens to his side and gave them a heartfelt education.
Probably it means not to abuse your power, not to bully the weak, and to be kind to others, especially your neighbors.
The most important thing is that it's not completely dark yet, so it's not the right time to take action!
The little kittens had their heads lowered and their ears drooped, looking aggrieved. They were lectured by him for more than half an hour.
You must have listened, right?
Gallo picked them up and went home for dinner together.
In this way, after spending another two peaceful days, the day of the Winter Festival finally arrived.
The Winter Festival is held on the last five days of each year, and the last day is the New Year, so this festival is also equivalent to the New Year celebration and is the most lively festival of the year.
These days will be the coldest time of the year, and heavy snow begins to fall all over the sky, covering the entire city with a thick layer of snow, but this cannot stop people from celebrating the festival at all.
People will hold various celebrations at winter festivals. Many sects will hold grand religious activities. Cities will hold parades, food festivals, open-air dances and other celebrations to celebrate the stable passage of this year and pray for the new year.
There is a new atmosphere every year.
At the same time, this is also the last chance to confess. If you miss this time, you will have to be single for one more year, and you will have to be single until next year. It is quite miserable when you think about it...
Therefore, young people will work particularly hard on this day and take advantage of the beautiful snow to pursue the last love of the year.
In the past two days, Gallo had been discussing with the old bishop how to organize the winter festival. The Miya sect also planned to hold a religious event and made a plan.
During the five days of the festival, they will perform various ceremonies in the church in the morning, such as a formal prayer, a collective blessing, a collective donation activity, etc.
After the snow stopped in the afternoon, Gallo went to participate in other activities in the city, leaving the old bishop in charge of guarding the church.
It's a very reasonable arrangement, but it's a bit hard work for the old bishop.
So on the morning of the first day, more than 300 believers of the Miya sect in the city gathered in the church, such as old John, the old carpenter, the two brothers Tom and Jerry, the owner of the weapons store, Mu De and his family.
The puppet wife and so on are here.
It's a pity that Captain Undine is not here. She has to be on duty today to maintain order and security in various parts of the city.
The old bishop was responsible for presiding over the ceremony, while Gallo and Lilian Luo assisted.
The Miya sect has always been simple. Even the rituals during such major festivals are not complicated. From prayer to blessing to donation, the whole process only takes about two hours.
Gallo still stood in front of the offering box, shaking hands with every believer who came up to donate, extending blessings and greetings, and adding a magical spell.
"Uncle John, Lord Miya will protect you and give you a bumper harvest next year!"
After that, he gave Old John and his son a protective spell.
Although the poor father and son donated a few strips of dried meat and a large bag of potatoes, Gallo's smile remained gentle and his blessings remained sincere.
"Made, Lord Miya will protect you and let you live a happy life in the coming year."
"But you also need to be a little careful, otherwise the prostate won't be able to bear it."
After that, he slapped Mad with a fanatical spell.
Ma De was originally not in good condition today. His face was pale, he was walking with a limp, and he could not straighten his waist. However, after being touched by Gallo's magic, he suddenly felt a hundred times more energetic and ignited his ambition again.
What Mader donated was a check, and Gallo didn't see how many zeros there were on it.
When he helped to order a small magic doll before, Gallo still paid. Although it was the cost price, Mader's donation was equivalent to returning the money to Gallo, and he was busy in vain.
But he didn't feel any distress on his face, and he said excitedly:
"Thank you, Master!"
"Ah, by the way, I always forgot to ask, is the master still satisfied with Miss Amiya? Is there anything I need to adjust? For example, in terms of size and technique?"
Gallo was stunned for a moment and replied:
"It's pretty good. There's nothing that needs to be adjusted. She and I are very satisfied."
Mader's eyes widened immediately, he gave him a very manly look, and then gave him a thumbs up.
Gallo didn't think much and continued to receive other believers.
After the first group of believers had almost been received, other guests began to arrive.
For example, Mrs. Carola made Gallo’s eyes light up!
Although she was not a believer, she still came to support him.
The move was as bold as ever, and he still took the check and stuffed it into the offering box. This time Gallo had sharp eyes and saw clearly, there were four zeros.
Gallo showed a smile that didn't want to work hard, and blessed Mrs. Carola with a protective magic.
Following Mrs. Carola was the collector Mrs. Victor.
What she donated was even more special. It was actually a land deed?
She donated a luxurious manor called Angel Manor to the church.
It is the most famous and story-telling luxury manor in the City of Innocence. It is located in the rich area in the east of the city where every inch of land is precious. It is said that after the first city lord established the City of Innocence, it was based on the standards of an emperor's palace.
Built.
Such a manor is naturally priceless, and is no cheaper than the church currently used by Gallo. If it is sold, there will really be no need to work hard.
But the strange thing is that no one has ever lived in this manor. Except for the maintenance and management, the housekeeper and the servants, not even the city lord will live in it.
So people have always been curious about who built this manor, and why so many people and money were wasted, but it was left empty?
People have made a lot of speculations and associations about this, thinking that this is reserved for the emperor to live in, which is equivalent to the emperor's palace; some people think that this is the place where the Victor family hides their beauty and even filth; some even think that this is actually a place where the emperor lives.
The manor is just the exterior of the Victor family's heirloom treasure house.
The people began to make associations and spread various stories. In fact, there are many imaginative and wonderful stories that have been written into best-selling books or adapted into operas, such as "The Manor in the Blizzard"
"The Angel Count", "Murder at Angel Hill" and so on.
Gallo couldn't help but wonder why Mrs. Victor donated the land deed?
Mrs. Victor held Gallo's hand tightly and said with relief:
"Finally I can give it back to you."
Gallo was a little confused by what he heard. After thinking about it carefully, he remembered that he did seem to have owned a property back then, which was the small farm outside the Holy City in his memory.
The Holy City was still small at that time, and the small farm outside Gallo cost no money at all. Bishop Victor sent people to secretly build it for him, allowing him to enjoy a leisurely and comfortable pastoral life there with his ex-girlfriend.
Later, the small farm was naturally destroyed in the war.
I just didn't expect Bishop Victor to remember such a trivial matter and pass it on to his descendants.
The first city lord really followed the instructions of his ancestors and helped Gallo rebuild a luxurious manor there.
After all, he should have been the only remaining believer of the Miya sect at that time, right?
This piety and loyalty really touched Gallo.
Unfortunately, he could no longer see this devout believer.
He planned to go back and hold a saint-canonization ceremony specifically for the first city lord. He would wait until the cooldown of the wishing spell ended and let Mrs. Victor make a wish, and by the way, he would be canonized for her grandfather.
This piety is worthy of this title.
After Mrs. Victor returned the manor to Gallo, she did not leave in a hurry. Instead, she went to the prayer hall next to her, where she knelt alone and prayed in a low voice.
Immediately after Mrs. Victor left, a large number of people walked in, filling the hall that could accommodate 500 people at the same time.
Those who came were people from affiliated sects, including Pope Quint XIX of the Divine Light Sect, Archbishop Carlos of the Original Chaos, and Grand Knight Commander Li of the Supreme True God Sect.
Artanis didn't come, he was still busy with the mine distribution in Yharnam City, and he didn't even care about the holidays.
These people did not come from Jia Luo, but took their own transportation and came all the way.
This attitude made Gallo very happy.
However, he took a few glances and noticed that Pope Shenguang came with a large number of people behind him, while Carlos and Li only brought some close associates.
Although he didn't convey it personally, Gallo could basically understand the meaning.
It seems that the popes of the other two families can't let go of their figure, and can't let go of their power and crown...
However, this matter cannot be dealt with until the Winter Festival is over. It is even better to wait until the Yharnam City branch mine is stabilized.
After a series of established ceremonies, the donation phase entered.
The Pope came over to shake hands with Gallo, chatted, talked about the situation in Yanan City, and asked about the general arrangements for the future.
When he learned that Gallo planned to seal the first city lord and make his first public prayer, the pope's eyes couldn't help but light up, he patted his chest and said that he must serve him in this matter.
Gallo smiled and made an appointment to talk again in a few days.
The two chatted for a while, and then the Pope went to the nearby prayer hall and knelt down next to Mrs. Victor.
But I have never seen him dig into his pocket...
Although Gallo just took over Visa's treasury and is not short of money now, how could this necessary link be missing?
