Chapter 671 'Three Green Branches' Pilgrimage

"Joseph, if you are free, you can come to see me at the St. Constantine Church Public Library. However, I usually work the night shift. During the day, I am either sleeping or busy with other things. But as long as you come

Come to me, no matter how busy I am, I will make time to see you, Joseph."

After chatting for a long time, the bearded man looked like he still had something to say and looked at William expectantly.

"Of course, as long as I'm free..." William was silent for a moment and said.

Xilu, a bearded man, suddenly showed a bright smile like a chrysanthemum on his face, and said with a bright smile, "Joseph, it's so nice to chat with you. I hope I have the opportunity to chat with you again."

The bearded man Xilu walked away happily like a child. Looking at his back, William smiled bitterly and said, "Good-hearted Xilu, knowing me is not a good thing."

In him, William saw the fluctuation of the power of destiny.

Before coming to Burnilugang, William exhausted all his magic power and blessed himself, wishing that he could successfully find the three green branches he wanted in Burnilugang this time.

Because of this, William was delayed for a few more days to recover his magic power.

But fate's blessing to one person may cause misfortune to another person.

Although he didn't have much contact with the bearded man Xilu, William could tell that he was an innocent person who was not deeply involved in the world.

If possible, William really doesn't want bad luck to happen to him.

William sighed heavily, turned around and left, finding a relatively quiet but more expensive hotel to stay in.

Because performing witchcraft in Bonilugang would be immediately discovered by the monitoring circle, William did not dare to use witchcraft and lived like an ordinary person.

To be honest, not having the Magic Mirror by my side is just like Iron Man Tony losing his artificial intelligence butler Jarvis, and he is really not used to it.

But this also allows William to better face himself alone.

In the next few days, William didn't go anywhere, just stayed quietly in the hotel, and had his meals brought to him.

Behind the growth of William's physical qualities is his appetite that has become like a whale.

The meals served in the hotel were only for ordinary people. For William, they were not even appetizers. How could he be full?

But in order to hide himself better, William couldn't let others notice his abnormality, so he could only endure it.

Fortunately, he can eat as much as others for ten days in one meal, or he can go without eating anything for ten days without affecting his combat effectiveness.

William didn't even go out for meals, let alone go to his workplace at the invitation of the librarian Xilu.

William not going to see him was actually a good thing for him.

As for Xilu, a bearded man, he was still waiting with great expectation for William to come again at first, but a few days passed, and William never came again. This made Xilu's face become more and more ugly, and he fell into a state of self-pity.

middle.

"Sure enough, no one in Xilu wants to talk to him..."

A faint sadness accumulated in the eyebrows of Xilu, a bearded man.

Bishop Thomas, who looked ordinary and serious, approached from behind Xilu, looked at Xilu's lonely figure, and sighed inaudibly...

Finally, Pentecost Day has arrived.

The pilgrims who stayed in Burnilugang cleaned themselves with clean water early, put on the cleanest white robes, walked onto the street, merged into the queue that snaked like a long snake, and entered the Flower Square.

All those who walked into the Flower Square for the first time were moved by the majestic scene.

According to William's visual inspection, the Campo de' Fiori is approximately 340 meters long and 240 meters wide, and is surrounded by two semicircular corridors.

Each corridor has 284 tall round stone columns supporting the top of the corridor. On the top are 142 statues of famous saints and saints in the history of the Holy See.

The figures in the statues have different expressions and are lifelike. When you walk into the Flower Square, you feel like you are under the gaze of a sage.

William couldn't help but look up at the statue above his head, and suddenly found that several statues seemed to be blinking at him.

William was suddenly startled. When he looked carefully, he saw that the statue was still a statue and he had not blinked.

But the seeds of suspicion had been planted in William's heart, and William lowered his head silently.

In the middle of the Flower Square stands an obelisk about 40 meters high. It is carved from a single piece of stone, with a sentence engraved on it in patterned fonts:

"I am the light of the world. Those who follow me will not walk in darkness. They must follow the light of life."

William glanced at the inscription, and then his eyes fell on the fountains on both sides of the obelisk.

Believers believe that the trickling clear spring symbolizes the water of life given to believers by the Lord of Holy Light. Being showered by the fountain means receiving the salvation of life.

Therefore, when every believer passes by the fountain, he raises his head high, just to let the fountain pour more water on himself.

After walking through the Campo de' Fiori, you enter the magnificent Basilica of St. Barret.

St. Bartholomew's Basilica is the largest worship hall in the world, able to accommodate 30,000 people praying at the same time.

Rows of sturdy wooden benches are neatly arranged in the tens of thousands of square meters of the hall.

In the middle of the deep hall, on a platform raised five to six meters, stands the holy emblem of the Lord of Holy Light, which is hundreds of square meters in size.

From William's perspective, the Holy Emblem shimmered with holy power as thick as liquid.

That is the power of faith gathered by believers' devout prayers for thousands of years.

In front of the holy emblem, there is a simple hazel wood lecture table with faint black blood stains on it, which seems to have witnessed the ups and downs of the Holy Light's court for thousands of years.

The hazel tree is a sacred object of the Holy Light. According to legend, the hazel branch once protected the Virgin Mary from the devil, so the hazel branch has a unique status in the Holy Light. (From "Grimm's Fairy Tales -"

—Hazel Branch》)

William followed the orderly flow of people and came to a seat and sat down quietly.

The entire hall was filled with a solemn feeling at this time.

Although there were tens of thousands of people in the pilgrimage, no sound was made. Most of them just sat down and began to pray silently, with fanatical expressions on their faces.

This is a miracle that only devout religious believers or strictly trained troops can perform.

William also pretended to be a devout believer and prayed silently. Looking at his eyes and style, he was definitely a true believer.

But if they could read William's mouth, those true believers would definitely be furious, cursed "heresy", shouted something, and rushed forward to eliminate the heretics for their Lord.

Fortunately, this time did not last long.

Soon, a kind-looking old man, wearing a gorgeous papal robe and holding a scepter of light, walked in from the side door next to the main hall.

Behind him, there were twelve archbishops in red robes following silently.
