Zhang Zian and Father Yang each had their own ulterior motives, but it was not convenient to reveal their true purpose of coming to the Grace Cathedral to each other, which made the atmosphere at the scene indescribably delicate.
The wedding was not over yet. As for Zhang Zian, he must shamelessly pester Father Yang. Otherwise, it would not be easy to enter the interior of the cathedral now. Even after the wedding was over, it would take some time to clean up the scene.
Father Yang had lost the mysterious gray shadow and was currently clueless. The education he received to be kind to others made it difficult for him to refuse the request of others without a valid reason.
"Father Yang, I am very interested in the Grace Cathedral. I wonder if I can enter and visit it?" Zhang Zian asked with a sincere smile. The implication was, of course, to ask Father Yang to make an exception for him. Otherwise, if he entered by himself, he would be politely stopped by the relatives and friends of the newlyweds … No, it was the relatives and friends of the newlyweds.
It was strange to say that it was obviously two beautiful girls getting married. How could the relatives and friends they brought were all big and strong men? They looked like they had just come out of the gym.
Father Yang looked back and agreed. "Okay, the church will open its doors to every guest who has a vision. You wait here for a moment. I'll go and see if I can speak."
He walked to the priest in charge of the wedding and talked to the priest for a while. Because he was wearing casual clothes and did not know the priest, he could only show his identification card to prove his identity. Then, he turned around and pointed to Zhang Zian.
The wedding was nearing its end. At this time, it was not a big deal to let a tourist who had another priest as a guarantor in to visit, so the priest nodded and waved to Zhang Zian, indicating that he could go in.
With the priest's approval, the relatives and friends of the newlyweds could not stop him. They stepped aside and let Zhang Zian in.
Today in San Francisco, the sky was clear and cloudless, and the steps at the entrance of the church were noisy. However, when he stepped into the church, he quickly moved away, as if he had entered another space.
The thick stone pillars, the bright marble floor, the statues of mythical characters, the solemn friars, and the unique solemn atmosphere of the church made people involuntarily quiet after entering. Even the most unrestrained prodigal son seemed to become a different person after entering the church … or a different bird. For example, Richard, since it blasphemed the gods in the Siwa Oasis in Egypt and was punished by God, it had learned its lesson. Although it was not clear whether it was God's punishment at the time, it would rather believe it. The gods could not be insulted, so it just bullied Zhang Zian.
Because the space was vast, every step echoed faintly, so even the footsteps would be unconsciously light.
Any famous church was not only a religious site, but also a precious work of art. You could find master-level sculptures and murals in it, and even the design details of the church itself were extraordinary. The design and construction fully considered the acoustic and optical effects, so that people who stepped into it could feel the tremor from the soul. Maybe some people would be converted because of it, just like people entering the Apple experience store would involuntarily take out their wallets, of course, if there was no money in the wallet, that would be a different story.
The Grace Cathedral was the same. Sunlight shone into the interior through the stained glass windows, creating a dreamy color on the stone pillars and floor. The high dome strengthened the choir's singing, and through the micro-adjustment of the angle, the sound waves reflected back to the ground just happened to cover the top of the audience's seats. To the audience, it was undoubtedly the sound of nature falling from the sky.
Zhang Zian also wanted to calm down and appreciate the high level of craftsmanship and unique cathedral, but he had more important things to do at the moment.
The only problem was that the Grace Cathedral had more areas open to the public than most churches, but there were still some areas that were not open to the public. Even if he asked Father Yang to make an exception, it would be useless. He could only hope that the elfin wasn't hiding in a particularly secret place.
He held up his phone. To others, it looked like he was taking pictures of the interior of the cathedral, but in reality, he was looking for traces of the elfin through the capture interface of the game.
A long corridor extended into the depths of the cathedral, and as far as his eyes could see, there was no trace of the elfin.
"It's quite cool in here, and there's also sun protection. You can come here more often in the future," Richard commented cautiously, sneaking a glance at the statues of the mythical characters nearby. It didn't leave Zhang Zian's shoulder for even an inch. If there was a divine punishment, at least it would be a scapegoat.
Zhang Zian glared at it and told it to shut up. It was too quiet in here, and even if he whispered, it could easily be heard by others.
There were strange and complicated lines on the floor of the corridor. Perhaps it had a specific meaning in the context of religion. Devout believers would follow the lines to enter the cathedral, but since Zhang Zian wasn't a religious person, there was no need to follow any rituals. Using his phone to confirm that there was no elfin in the corridor, he quickly walked forward through the corridor and went deeper into the cathedral.
Some of the items prepared for the wedding were still placed nearby, and a few relatives and friends were going in and out, occasionally glancing at him when they passed by.
The interior of the cathedral wasn't complicated. Basically, he just needed to walk in a straight line. He came to the place where the sermons were usually held, and it was also the most important part of the cathedral.
Rows of chairs guarded the podium, and there were large, bright murals around it. There were also some narrative statues, but Zhang Zian didn't know most of the mythical characters, and he didn't know what story they were telling.
Looking up, he saw the Holy Christ being nailed to the cross, and there was a black iron nail on each of his hands, feet, and left rib.
However, to his disappointment, he raised his phone and scanned around, but he didn't see any elfin.
He didn't want to give up just like that. He wondered if Richard's jinx was right, and the new elfin might be a bird, so he looked up.
The dome of the cathedral was very high, and there was bright light shining down from the top. It was very dazzling to look directly at it, but he was looking through his phone. Even if he couldn't see clearly, it didn't matter. As long as he scanned the elfin, a notification would pop up on his phone.
Still nothing.
He had no choice but to give the elfins a look, indicating that they should split up and search to see if they could find anything.
After entering the cathedral, his phone had been on the capture interface. Now that he couldn't find anything, he casually returned to the electronic map interface to see if the elfin's location had changed.
It didn't matter if he didn't look, but when he did, he was shocked. The light that represented the elfin had started to move, and the area covered by the light had already left Nob Mountain. It was moving towards the north at a very fast speed!
No wonder he couldn't find anything. The elfin was no longer here.
