Monday morning, the sun shone brightly, just like Father Miro's mood at the moment. Colorful flags were hung everywhere in Storm City, and the flyers for the official opening of the Grace Cathedral were like fireworks floating all over the streets and alleys of the city. This day was definitely a special day for Storm City.
People walked out of their homes, dressed neatly, and gathered in front of the Grace Cathedral that was to be built from the temple.
The cathedral was magnificent and dignified. The towering steeples, white pillars, colored glass walls, and all sorts of exquisite reliefs that appeared on the arches all created a sacred and solemn atmosphere. In front of the arch of the church, Father Miro, who was dressed in white ceremonial robes and had a serious expression, held the scripture that had just been compiled and said to the people below, "Today, I am pleased to tell you a piece of good news. From this moment onwards, the cathedral will officially open to the public, which means that the Lord's grace will be bestowed upon this lucky city. Yes, this was a city blessed by the grace of God. My brothers and sisters, you should remember that not long ago, our city was under siege. At that moment, I felt despair from the bottom of my heart, just like you. "
"However, at that time, only our Holy Maiden's expression did not change. She said to me, 'The Lord in heaven will not give up this city, all because we always praise his holy name.'" Miro raised his voice a few degrees and said, "So I pulled myself together, and it turned out that those villains were eventually expelled and we were reborn!"
Father Miro closed his eyes and heard the cheers as expected. A few months ago, he had begun to preach in Sur City and had used some small tricks to obtain the first batch of believers. Even though there were only a few believers at that time, he then played Vera's card and used Vera's ability to peek into the future. After a few accurate prophecies, the number of believers in the priest suddenly increased.
Even though there were all kinds of beliefs in every corner of the Bailey Empire. However, these beliefs, as well as the gods they represented, were all images and legends created by people. Even though it had been used by some people in history to create several so-called miracles. However, to this day, some sects had already withered, while others were still struggling to support themselves, but they had gradually declined.
At this time, the priest appeared with the teachings of Christ and performed miracles one after another, immediately seizing the hearts of the people. After all, a god who performed miracles through his believers was far more likely to gain people's faith than those gods who only had legends and no actual actions.
At the exhibition in Sur City, news of Christ, Holy Maiden Vera, and many miracles also quietly spread to Storm City. In addition, under Edward's planning and instigation, Father Miro successfully gained a group of believers after arriving in Storm City. Today, all the believers were gathered here, giving the priest the feeling of a coronation ceremony.
Enjoying the tide of voices, Father Miro opened his eyes reluctantly. He gestured with both hands to quiet the crowd and said, "Now, let's invite our Holy Maiden to make a new prophecy for the cathedral."
After the prophecy of Vera, the Saintess, had been verified many times, people believed that God had seen the future through her eyes. Therefore, Vera's status in the hearts of the people was much higher than Father Miro's. After all, the former was the spokesperson of God, while the latter was the servant of God. It was obvious who was more important.
Today, the girl dressed in a pure white holy robe really did look a bit holy. Especially Vera's black pupils, which always gave people a sense of transcendence. Coupled with the ethereal temperament of the young girl, the crowd cheered again as soon as Vera appeared.
Vera stood in front of the arch of the church and gradually raised her head. His eyes were like black jade covered with a layer of water vapor as he slowly scanned the crowd below. The crowd quietened down where her gaze swept. Some even knelt on the ground and worshipped Vera. Vera withdrew her gaze and spat out a sentence from her mouth, "The Father who walks in the heavens is the only true God in the world. Hearing his name will give you peace and peace. You will be safe from disaster and disease. Praise him, love him, and when you return to dust, angels will lead you to his kingdom. "
"The Lord said that there are people in this city who love him. He will let God's grace be blessed here forever. This is the gospel."
Vera raised her hands and the choir behind her, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately began to sing hymns loudly. Behind the cathedral, fireballs and green light suddenly rose. They collided with each other in midair and exploded, blooming with colorful fireworks before slowly descending.
Father Miro rushed forward and said, "This is a sacred baptism. This will be the birthplace of the gospel. Praise you, Almighty Lord! "
Immediately, the atmosphere of the ceremony was pushed up.
After the choir finished singing, Allen and Edward personally pushed open the door of the Cathedral of Divine Grace, ending today's ceremony perfectly. The crowd was able to enter the church and receive a gift from the church at the door. The gift was only a rather ordinary biscuit or bread, but it was such an inconspicuous gift that was enough to put the image of the Church into thousands of households.
Christianity had been spreading on Earth for thousands of years, and it had long since formed an inherent pattern of how to harvest people's hearts. Father Miro had only taken one or two of them, but he had already benefited greatly. The greatest characteristic of this sect was its openness. Christianity did not require the status of its believers, from the emperor of a country to the beggar on the corner of the street. As long as you are willing to convert, the church will accept it.
Just this alone determined that the audience of this sect was far greater than that of the other temple sects.
After Allen and Edward, the two important figures, expressed their willingness to convert to the Church in front of everyone, the other officials, officers, and civilians all expressed their willingness to join the Church. So this morning, Father Miro was so busy that he didn't even have the time to drink water, but the priest's face was filled with a brilliant smile.
Hagrid watched the entire ceremony from the sidelines. Judging from Allen's actions, there was no doubt that this church was established under his intentional promotion. Hagrid could not understand this. Although it was not unusual for a superior to control his people through faith, Allen's actions had clearly raised the status of the Church. This would have an irresistible impact on his management in the future. As long as a lord had a little common sense, he would not allow the power of the Church to be above him.
So he didn't understand why Allen did this.
But that was not the point. The point was that the fireball and light that soared into the sky before the ceremony ended. That was naturally not the so-called sacred baptism that Father Miro had mentioned. Those fireballs and lights came from an army that Allen had set up behind the church. Hagrid's entourage told him very clearly that the firearms used by that army were not common flintlocks/guns. Most importantly, what was shot out of the firearm was a fireball transformed from Origin Energy, or a bullet that was highly condensed from Origin Energy.
Whether it was fireballs or Origin Energy bullets, Hagrid could slightly estimate their power, and the result surprised him greatly. That was, if Allen used this army to fire at his most elite Black Cloud Knight Regiment, the Black Cloud Knight Regiment would be engulfed by Allen's firepower before it could even reach the opponent's front.
Hagrid had never seen this army when he signed the peace agreement last time. Allen had only revealed them now, but in fact, it had a shocking effect. How could Hagrid not know that Allen's actions were undoubtedly a warning? Warn Black Iron Castle not to do anything that violates the agreement. After many inquiries, Hagrid firmly remembered a name in his heart.
Inch Fire!
This was the designation of the army, in Hagrid's heart. This name quietly rose above the Mountain King and the Dark Blade.
