Because of the complicated requirements, the altar of the Church of Void Mask was built in a remote open space. There were no other buildings within a kilometer. The closest building to the altar was a small sentry post.
On the watchtower on the top of the sentry post, three dragons in human form were staring at the altar, paying attention to the situation of the prayer.
"What the hell? A small church with less than a hundred people has three legendary strongmen!" Frost looked very unhappy. "Are there so many legendary strongmen these days?"
"Actually, it's easy to understand. When you are close to the strongmen, you will naturally be affected."
Snow looked at them with a smile. She made a small blackboard out of ice and drew a ball of light on it. Then she radiated the light to the people around her. The heads of the people closest to the ball of light also shone.
"Then why are Xian and I not strong enough?"
Hearing his name, Xian, who had been half asleep, opened his eyes and looked around. He didn't see anything special, so he leaned on Snow and dozed off.
Snow sighed helplessly. "Well, that's the reason."
"But I'm working very hard! I didn't sleep in! "Frost said.
Snowflake sighed. "You spend all your energy on arguing."
Frost was speechless. He was so angry that his cheeks puffed up. He turned his head away, as if saying, "You're a bad person. I don't want to talk to you."
Snow smiled and shook her head. She continued to watch the situation at the altar.
The followers of the Church of Void Mask were in good order. The high priest was standing in the front. The man, who called himself "Ley" to the outside world and "Leon Igor" to the inside world, was a knight. He wore a silver-white composite armor and a dark blue cloak. Both the armor and the cloak were dazzling in her magic vision. She could tell at a glance that they were rare and exquisite items.
In fact, this set of armor was made by Sui Xiong himself. The head, shoulders, chest, and back of the armor were made of an extremely strong and solid overall structure, and the waist, hip, ribs, and abdomen were made of pieces of metal pieces with different patterns. Each piece or several pieces of metal pieces formed a group, and each of them formed a different magic. When a set of armor was put on, as long as it was stimulated by Dou Qi, it could freely cast about 40 kinds of magic, which forcibly turned a professional knight into an all-rounder of magic and martial arts.
When he put on this armor for the first time, Sui Xiong once said with a smile that as long as he carried a hammer and a book, he would be an "all-around knight."
Unfortunately, his joke could only be understood by people on Earth.
As for the cloak outside the armor, it was a treasure in the secret treasury of the Riley Family.
Although Casali Riley was naive and simple, she was not an ungrateful person. Ray had done his best to help her rebuild Gars City, and he had also helped her to block those evil people who coveted the wealth of the Riley family. Of course, she wanted to repay him.
According to the simple thinking of the little girl, the most appropriate way to repay him in this case was naturally to marry him. However, Ray emphasized that he was a clergyman, and that he helped her out of justice and kindness, and had absolutely no desire for beauty. Not only did he not accept this kind of repayment, but he also reprimanded her in turn. He said, "Beauty alone is far from enough," "You must reduce the time you spend dressing up, and work hard to learn politics and culture," "Instead of thinking about those boring things, it is better to learn how to deal with government affairs," and so on, which soon dispelled the little girl's unrealistic romantic idea.
Even though this further highlighted Lei's righteousness and nobility, as well as making Kasali's impression of him even more favorable, she wouldn't foolishly say 'devote herself to him' again. Instead, after carefully searching through the secret treasury for a long time, she finally found a suitable gift.
It was a dark blue cloak, at first glance, just soft and proper, but inside, there was a starry sky connected by enchanted gems. It had powerful magic power, not only could it greatly reduce the damage of various spells, but it could also provide the wearer with the ability to walk on water. Even the cloak itself had extraordinary defensive power. As long as it was wrapped around the wearer, it would be equivalent to a set of fine heavy armor.
This gift was indeed what Ray wanted, so he finally accepted it somewhat shyly. He did not know that after seeing his somewhat embarrassed smile at that time, Casali went back and silently fell in love with him for a long time.
The full set of armor called "Guardian of the Void" and the cloak called "Starry Sky on the Sea" were Ray's ceremonial attire. Although because he presided over the preparation of the prayer, he was promoted to the chief priest by Sui Xiong, he still insisted on the style of a knight.
Half a step behind him, Gerrard and Wall stood side by side. Together with Leon in front of them, they formed the high-end force of the Church of the Void Mask. The plastic surgery of the three legendary strongmen, no matter which country on the continent, was enough to shock people.
A little behind them were Palin, Rode, Olian, and Steele. They were the top leaders of the church, each responsible for some important affairs. Among them, Palin was responsible for the collection and arrangement of ancient books, Rode was responsible for external business activities, Olian was in charge of the teaching affairs in the Geerteng area, and Steele was in charge of the medical team of the church.
Because she believed in the Goddess of Forest, Madame Teague did not join the Church of the Void Mask; Liv believed in the God of Knights and did not join either. At this moment, they were watching the ceremony with little Nice from afar, curiously watching this rare prayer ceremony.
After Palin and the others, it was the ordinary believers. These believers were mainly pioneers, mixed with two or three adventurers — these adventurers were the believers that Phil helped to develop. Although the armored man said that he only believed in the "ancient goddess", his ability to preach was very powerful.
In addition, the Church of the Void Mask also had some believers in Gars City, but not many. At this moment, they were gathered in an open space under the leadership of two adventurers who also joined the church, praying together.
Along with the solemn prayers, countless tiny specks of light appeared in the void and slowly gathered above the altar. This was the power of faith, the power that the gods both yearned for and feared.
In the light spots, the shadow of the floating jellyfish slowly emerged. With a wave of its tentacles, light blue light balls flew out and floated on the altar.
These light balls were the souls of those believers who had been killed by the Shadow Devil. After Sui Xiong rescued them, he found that they had been polluted by the negative energy of the Shadow Devil. It took a lot of effort to wash away most of the negative energy in their souls. But even so, there were still some remnants. In order to solve this problem, Sui Xiong decided to fight poison with poison. He used his magic power to suppress the negative energy, so that their souls were finally dyed with the color of Sui Xiong's magic power.
Would there be any bad effects? Probably not … Sui Xiong thought so.
No matter what, at least it was better than being polluted by negative energy!
With the continuous gathering of the power of faith, Sui Xiong began to cast spells. This was the first time that he really used the "divine spell". As soon as he started, he used the classic divine spell, Resurrection, which was really worthy of his identity as a god.
The vast magic power gushed out of the shadow of the jellyfish. With the power of faith as a bridge, the souls of Sui Xiong and those believers were connected. The mysterious and indescribable power surged in the air, and the huge amount of nutrients that had been stored in advance surged quickly, combining into bones, muscles, blood vessels, skin, and hair.
About half an hour later, there were about ten naked people lying on the wide altar.
Unfortunately, there were still many people whose souls could not be resurrected. These people were divided into two kinds. Most of them were because their faith in Sui Xiong was too shallow to resonate with the power of faith, and there was no way to use the power of faith to build a magic bridge for resurrection.
For this, Sui Xiong could only say sorry. During this time, he had followed the God of Justice to make up for a lot of lessons and understood a lot of rules that must be followed. Although some of the rules made him very uncomfortable, most of them were reasonable.
For example, he thought that the restrictions on the resurrection spell were very reasonable.
Bringing the dead back to life was an extraordinary grace. If the gods could casually grant it, it would obviously destroy the balance between the various churches. Moreover, the resurrection of the dead was not necessarily a good thing in itself. Many of the dead were not willing to be resurrected, but wanted to pursue peace after death.
For example, among his group of believers, a small half of the souls that had not been resurrected refused to be resurrected for this reason.
For these believers, Sui Xiong could only temporarily build a peaceful place of eternal rest in the altar, so that their souls could rest quietly. After the establishment of the Holy Kingdom, he would bring them in.
As for those whose faith was too shallow, it would be handled in this way for the time being. After the establishment of the Holy Kingdom, he would see if their faith could reach the minimum standard to go to the Holy Kingdom.
If it really did not work, he would have to do things according to the rules and send them to the underworld.
The whole prayer ceremony did not take a long time. After the resurrection, there was still a large amount of the power of faith remaining. Sui Xiong did not rashly accept them, but stored them in the altar.
He had seen the danger of the power of faith with his own eyes. Before he found a proper way to deal with it, he did not want to let this dangerous thing touch him!
Finally, he went along the faith channels and gave back a little magic power.
Every believer could not help but tremble and feel the vast and endless power. Although only a little flowed into their bodies, it was enough to make them healthy and comfortable, and they would not be troubled by diseases for a long time. The two adventurers who held the prayer ceremony in Garth City felt a powerful force surging in their hearts, and their strength had greatly improved.
This made everyone more devout in their faith, and they prayed more sincerely.
Of course, the gift was not a big pot of rice, it was determined by the strength of each person's faith channel. The more sincere and strong the faith, the stronger the faith channel, and the more magic power that could be transmitted.
Sui Xiong felt that this rule was also very reasonable. Of course, the more sincere one was, the more he should be blessed. What was wrong with that?
In the sound of praise, the whole ceremony was completely over. The shadow of the jellyfish gradually disappeared, but there was still silence in front of the altar, and everyone was immersed in a solemn atmosphere.
At this moment, a cold wind blew, and the naked people on the altar were awakened by the cold, and they all sneezed.
Among them, the one who yawned the loudest was Satan.
