The bright sunshine passes through the stained glass, refracting dim and obscure shadows, and bright light shines through the holes. The light and darkness are intertwined, and the solemn religious meaning emerges spontaneously.
Sitting in the hall, at the junction of light and darkness, the statue of the goddess is calm and elegant, holding a book in her left hand and holding a long sword high in her right hand.
There are many names for the goddess, the most famous of which is: "The God of Wisdom and Freedom, the God of Mercy and Punishment, the God of Darkness and Dawn."
Liam sat in the front row, crossing his arms and looking at the statue out of the corner of his eye.
"Which of the churches that has lasted from the First Era to this day is a kind-hearted person? Their names represent honor and their respective authority." Regarding the authority of the goddess, Liam read from the Book of the Dead.
Pass.
"The main god of the Silver Moon Church is a goddess who is powerful and decisive. The book and kindness in her hand only pity the devout believers, while the darkness of death and the sharp sword are attached to the enemies."
Silver Moon Church holds a mass once a week, at 8 a.m. on weekends. Devout believers can come to the church hall to pray or pray during this time.
The Mass is presided over by the bishop, with the nuns assisting. The process is roughly reciting hymns, praying to the goddess, and the bishop pours holy water. If you have any questions, believers can seek clarification from the bishop and enjoy the Holy Communion (you can
Donate during this period) and finally leave the church.
Due to special reasons, Liam was placed in the first row, and sitting next to him was Jiao Li.
At this time, Kelly, who was wearing a black church outfit, came over in a panic and hurriedly came over.
"Ms. Kelly, what are you..." Liam could see the anxiety and panic in the other person's eyes.
"Dear Liam, I have to leave. You must be obedient. If the Bishop asks anything, you must answer truthfully. Under the gaze of the goddess, no lies or deception will be hidden." He said in his chest.
A crescent moon is drawn in front of it.
"Well, I will tell you everything I know." Liam looked pious.
Kelly held Jiao Li's hand, "The devout lamb will be saved. Don't be afraid of the darkness and thorns in front of you. Be brave, my dear child."
Jiao Li seemed to understand what the other party meant and nodded firmly, "I will, Ms. Kelly, please come back safely. The children in the orphanage will prepare a sumptuous dinner for you."
Kelly kissed the other person's forehead.
"Praise the goddess!"
"Praise the goddess!"
"Praise the goddess!"
Kelly left in a hurry, and when her figure completely disappeared from sight, Liam suddenly felt an unreasonable uneasiness.
"Jiao Li, where is Ms. Kelly's hometown?" Liam asked.
"Kuluoer, a small principality town near the Qori Mountains."
"is it far?".
"It takes about ten days to get there by carriage, but Ms. Kelly hasn't been home for five years. For her, this place is more like home."
Liam took a breath to dispel the emotion, "May the goddess bless Ms. Kelly a safe journey."
Kelly's departure was just a small interlude before the start of the mass. As Flora, wearing a black bishop's robe and looking solemn, walked out, several nuns followed her holding silver cups.
The bishop stood in front of the statue, raising her hands. As she moved, sacred music sounded in the hall, and everyone consciously closed their eyes and sang hymns.
Liam also followed suit, and who didn't know how to fake it? "If I also sing hymns, will the goddess sense it?"
Once the idea came up, Liam immediately felt like he didn't care.
As time went by, the hymns became louder and weirder, and there seemed to be countless people shouting, praying, and blessing in my ears, and even more people were crying, roaring, and swallowing.
Liam found it strange that the main purpose of the hymn was to praise the goddess, so how could it be mixed with negative emotions?
He quietly opened his eyes, intending to peek around.
"Liam White!" The sacred, solemn and majestic voice suddenly sounded like thunder on the ground.
Liam was startled and slowly raised his head.
We are not in the church at this time, but in the misty mist. Wherever we look, there are hazy, twisted and indescribable things hidden in the mist. The limbs that are accidentally exposed are as holy as snow, and they are covered with eyes.
Liam immediately thought of the description of gods in the book, "cannot be looked at directly, cannot be described, and cannot be imagined."
He immediately knelt on the ground and lowered his head, no longer daring to spy on the strange things around him, and replied with a trembling tone: "Yes."
"What did Aldor give you?" the strange creature asked.
"I don't know Aldall."
"He is the nurse of the orphanage, Kroger's brother, and your friend."
"Dear Sir, I have lost most of my memory. My impression of Kroger is very vague, and I don't even remember Aldall." Liam said sincerely.
The other party was silent, and the dense mist was rolling and stirring around it as if it was alive, with several thin tentacles poking out from it.
The tentacles silently climbed up Liam's body, the mouthparts at the tips opened, and tiny needles silently penetrated through the pores.
"Liam, who is the owner of this body?"
Liam felt that his heart was about to jump out of his chest. Did the other party see that he was a time traveler? No, if the other party saw the truth and falsehood, they would not ask, but would directly take action.
According to the rumors revealed by Ms. Kelly, very few people survive the church trials.
Extremely low-probability events often mean uncertainty and danger, so the bishop suspected that an evil spirit had taken advantage of the opportunity to occupy the body. At that time, because of his physical weakness, the bishop may have been afraid of alerting the enemy, or he did not check immediately for other reasons.
So, this powerful man is related to the Silver Moon Church, and he uses strange and secret techniques to find out some secrets about himself.
After analyzing the causes and consequences in his mind, Liam immediately knew what was going on.
Fortunately, I prepared the "Demon Sealing Reversal Ceremony" in advance and took precautions against the church's detection methods, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous...
"Liam White, a devout believer in the Church of Silver Moon."
The other party fell into a long silence again, and in the dark, the countless tiny needles entered the skin and were secretly blocked by a layer of film.
This type of interception is not like an iron wall that prevents oil and salt from entering, but a method similar to filtration, which does not prevent the needle from entering, but intercepts the ingested spiritual body information.
He found nothing with his tentacles, so he went back.
"You are a devout believer, loyal to your beliefs, practicing the will of the goddess, and following the teachings of the goddess. Go ahead, child."
Liam stood up, drew a crescent moon on his chest, politely, and subconsciously said "praise the goddess".
The majestic black air rises into the sky, and the dense white mist is like a sheep seeing a wolf. The liver and gallbladder are split, and the body is shivering...
....
In a trance, Liam had a dream, in which he was asked some questions by an unknown powerful master. The specific questions he could not remember afterward.
"Kid, what's wrong with you?" A soft voice brought Liam back to reality.
He raised his head and saw Bishop Flora holding a silver cup, her magnificent sapphire eyes looking at him.
"Your Excellency, during the hymn, I feel like I have returned to my childhood life in the orphanage, and I think of my former friends."
Upon hearing this, Bishop Flora gently stroked the other party's light brown hair with her hand, "Everything has passed. The goddess will protect the devout lamb and keep us away from suffering."
"The four of them have returned to the embrace of the goddess, living a carefree life in the warm Garden of Eden."
Liam nodded silently and tapped his chest four times, "Praise women..."
For a moment, Liam felt that he had heard wrongly, and his brown eyes showed confusion, panic, fear and other complex emotions.
"Who are they...the four...?" Liam lowered his head and asked in as calm a tone as possible.
Jiao Li next to her suddenly wondered, the church had already announced this matter, how could Liam not be aware of it? Could being sick affect his memory?
"Excuse me, who are these four? How can we resist the evil minions?" Liam wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with a trembling tone.
"Aldour, Kroger, Milady and Jack, their faith was not strong enough and they were bewitched by the devil and fell into the abyss. But as long as we believe in the goddess devoutly and follow her teachings, evil will never be able to defeat us.
." Jiao Li said with a sad expression but a firm tone.
"Jack???" Liam suddenly felt a pair of cold eyes staring at him. It felt like he was standing on the gallows with a rope around his neck.
"We are no longer afraid. The devil has been expelled. Under the protection of the goddess, we are extremely safe." Flora scooped up a small handful of holy water from the silver cup and sprinkled it on the other party.
"Praise...praise the goddess..." Liam lowered his head and drew a crescent moon on his chest...
