The surrounding bodyguards in black suits hurriedly stepped forward. First, they checked the wheelchair, then they checked the ground. Finally, a burly man pushed the wheelchair and found that it was still the same.
A secretary-like person next to Eulacis hurriedly walked over, then said to Hart,
"Mr. Hart, what … what's going on?"
Hart said solemnly, "The statue of the goddess is in front of us.
"The statue of the Goddess is right in front of you. Although the Goddess is benevolent, her divine might is still revered. Since you have chosen to come here to meet the Goddess and bask in her glory, you should maintain enough respect for the Goddess and not sit in a wheelchair."
Eulacis's wife said anxiously,
"But he was paralyzed 3 months ago. The doctor at the Mayo Clinic said that it was difficult for him to stand up …"
Hartage earnestly replied.
"The true god is omnipotent. The true god will never force people. Since there is such a request, then Mr. Eulacis must be able to do it."
The woman frowned and said,
"You're still saying that this is not forcing people? I think you're deliberately making things difficult for him! I told you that your church is unreliable … "
Suddenly, she shut her mouth.
Because Eulacis, who was sitting in a wheelchair, actually raised his hand.
The skin on his hand was so loose that it looked like a pile of wrinkles. It was full of age spots, which looked reminiscent of a moldy coffin …
A series of unclear "gurgling" sounds came from his throat. After a few minutes, he said in a hoarse and difficult tone,
"Help me up."
Hearing his words, a bodyguard next to him hurriedly stepped forward and supported him.
After standing up shakily, Eulacis actually exhaled a long breath, shook off the hand of the bodyguard next to him, and slowly walked into the lobby in front.
The invisible barrier in front of the wheelchair suddenly disappeared.
Witnessing this scene, the two private doctors accompanying him suddenly widened their eyes!!
They were the clearest about the situation of Eulacis. They knew that in the scope of modern medicine, such a patient had no possibility of standing up on his own for the rest of his life.
However, facts speak louder than words. Such a living example happened in front of them!!
"A miracle …" A private doctor couldn't help but murmur.
He only felt that something in his heart was rapidly collapsing. That was the temple of science that he had accumulated bit by bit ever since he entered university.
At this moment, Eulacis was also very excited.
When he was outside, he only felt that it was brightly lit inside.
However, after entering the gate, there was an altar that exuded a religious aura more than twenty meters away.
The marble pillars surrounding the altar were simple and thick. The pillars gradually narrowed from the bottom to the top. The surface of the pillars was carved with fluttering olive leaves, and the grooves were dense and deep.
The top of the marble pillar was in the shape of a whirlpool, and there were embossed ribbons beside it, giving it a rich sense of rhythm and rhythm.
If one took a closer look, they would discover that there were marks and old cracks on the surface of the altar.
Therefore, in addition to the low-key luxury at first glance, there was also an indescribable historical vicissitudes.
Around the altar, there were a dozen women wearing olive tree crowns and ancient Greek white robes. They were praying silently with their palms together.
On top of the altar, there was a six-meter-tall statue of the Goddess!
The sacred statue was as white as jade, and it was unknown what material it was made of. The decorations were made of ivory and gold. The posture was beautiful, and the patterns on the clothes flowed freely.
That kind of majesty, holiness, and solemnity already made people want to worship it uncontrollably.
The key was that under the statue of the goddess, there was a woman in a luxurious and complicated long dress.
It was High Priestess Trissigania.
Her fair and smooth skin seemed to have the light of snow lingering on it, and her blue pupils were as cold as the snow of the Alps.
Her long flaxen hair had a lively and bright luster, and she held a golden scepter with twin snakes in her hand. She exuded a powerful aura that didn't allow people to look at her directly!
After seeing this woman, Hartley and the others who entered later knelt on one knee and loudly sang the goddess' hymns with the women on the altar.
The pleasant harmony reverberated in the hall, and even made people recall the glory of Athens in the past!
In such an atmosphere, Eulacis was also infected. He couldn't help but kneel down and easily blended into the singing team.
For some reason, he suddenly felt that his concept of choosing a spouse seemed to be wrong. Mature women also looked very attractive! Some bold ideas even began to emerge in his mind.
After singing the hymns, the high priestess walked down the stairs and looked at Eulacis indifferently.
"God says, you are guilty. You are too arrogant, so you have lost the humility you should have."
Eulacis immediately trembled. He wanted to say something, but when he saw the cold and majestic blue pupils of the high priestess, he was intimidated and couldn't even defend himself.
An indescribable sadness welled up in his heart.
He could only kneel on the ground and bury his face deep in his palms.
"Yes, I am guilty. I shouldn't have had such blasphemous thoughts before …"
High Priestess Trissigania said indifferently, "Leave.
God is proud. He won't bicker with mortals. "
When Eulacis heard this, he immediately choked with sobs.
"I know my sins. I'm willing to repent. Please don't reject me, Goddess! I'm willing to take out half of my family fortune to worship the Goddess! "
Hearing this, the wife next to him suddenly panicked. She hurriedly stood up to check on him. Even the lawyer next to him had a drastic change in expression.
He shouted, "Mr. Eulacis, I have to make sure that you're saying this in a clear state of mind!!"
What a joke, half of Eulacis' family fortune is in the order of 10 billion euros.
Facing the two of them, Eulassis, who looked like he had one foot in the grave, slapped his wife hard, leaving a clear palm print on her face.
Following that, the lawyer was sent stumbling backward by his kick!
"Get lost!! I'm very clear-headed now. I have the right to do anything with my property!! "
After roaring, he immediately knelt down again and said in a trembling voice,
"I know my sins! Please don't give up on me, Goddess! "
High Priestess Trisgonia shook her head slightly.
"True Gods don't care about worldly wealth. Leave."
After saying that, Eulacis felt himself being pushed to the door by a gentle and invisible force. The force seemed gentle, but it was irresistible!
He could only watch as the rest of the believers in the hall began to pray, give blessings, and so on.
Eulacis had not experienced this feeling of being out of reach for many, many years.
His mood could be said to be full of melancholy and anger. Even the doctors who came to check on him were scolded by him.
After a while, after the prayer ceremony ended, Hartley and the others came out in a line to receive Eulacis.
After calming down, Eulacis realized that his condition had improved a lot. At least he could walk normally, and he even had a rare feeling of hunger.
After all, Eulacis had been paralyzed for three years, and had been relying on nasal feeding for the past two months.
Of course, in Hartley's manor, it was necessary to entertain a distinguished guest like Eulacis with a meal. Therefore, the group of rich men chatted while eating.
Eulacis was now full of interest in the Church of the Goddess. During the meal, almost all the topics revolved around the Goddess. In the end, he said very seriously.
"Mr Hartley, I heard that you are a Divine Chosen of the Church. I have indeed offended the Goddess this time. I am sincerely willing to offer half of my property to atone for my sins."
Hartley smiled and said.
"Mr Eulacis, worldly wealth is not worth mentioning in the eyes of a true God. What a true God needs is your piety."
The other Labrie said with deep emotion.
"At first, I thought so too. I thought that a true God was the same as other worldly false gods, gathering wealth in the name of faith. But that's not the case, Mr Eulacis."
"Take me for example. Although I rushed to donate 20 million euros when building a statue for the Goddess, the Goddess' grace gave me ten times the worldly wealth in return!!"
Another rich man, Dart, said in an envious tone, "Mr Hartley is lucky.
"Mr. Hartage's luck is pretty good. He was the first to meet a true god and snatched the opportunity to worship the goddess."
