Chapter 121 Sacred Tree Ceremony
The seventh day of the seventh round.
Wei Miao was sitting on the luxurious carriage, pondering over the speech given by the Eternal Night Church.
The carriage is a means of transportation for the royal family on formal occasions. The value of each passenger is dozens of times that of the carriage.
Today she was wearing the same nun's uniform that had been mended, and her black left eye was not covered up.
The carriage stopped at the entrance of the Holy Fire Church, and Ximen, who was dressed in a fiery red priest's robe, got on the carriage and sat opposite her.
His cuffs are patterned with gold threads, and the decorative design in the details shows low luxury. The spear that has never left his body has been removed today, but his calm aura can still intimidate most people.
This is a rare player that Wei Miao has encountered so far who looks reliable.
Today, the ceremony begins, and the whole country celebrates the third day.
The streets of the imperial capital were decorated with lights and colorful decorations. A few days ago, the city guards tied the street lamps with fiery red ribbons. A different kind of atmosphere permeated the city. People's faces had relaxed smiles that were rarely seen on weekdays. .
In fact, people may not revere the sacred tree and want to worship it from the bottom of their hearts, but because these three days can relieve them of the burden of work and rest as much as they want.
Due to the disaster of the Divine Flame, people's living standards have stagnated, and they are struggling to obtain even the most basic food.
But this is not something Wei Miao has to consider. She is only responsible for delaying the destruction of the world, and the development of the world has nothing to do with her.
For some people, maybe it would be better if the world was destroyed.
Just after the third hour, there was already a sea of people outside the Holy Fire Square, and there was an area dedicated to parking carriages.
In the center of the square is a giant torch that is five meters high, with a white background and red edges, and golden divine flames burning brightly.
As the dull bells echoed in the dark sky, the expecting people fell silent in unison.
His Majesty Emperor Pablo, wearing a complicated and heavy ceremonial robe, stepped out of the canopy carriage. He was old and majestic, with smart and shrewd eyes.
He announced the beginning of the ceremony in a loud voice.
Wei Miao and Ximen were in an excellent viewing position, watching the royal guards, who were wrapped in hot aura, walking past the carriage and accepting people's review.
Afterwards, the rehearsed fire bearers performed a miraculous performance.
Someone threw a ball of fire vertically upwards and exploded at high altitude, with brilliant flames filling the air. Someone opened his arms, and a group of fireworks butterflies scattered, their wings fluttering, beautiful and deadly. Performances such as this arouse endless amazement from the public.
“People’s happiness is always so simple.”
Wei Miao looked at the joyous scene outside with a compassionate smile on her lips. While those at the top are worried about the survival of the world, the lives at the bottom are simple and ignorant. They can admire Shenyan's performance, but they can also suffer from Shenyan's disaster.
The player's happiness is also very simple, just to clear the level.
Today, there is no chance for the Eternal Night Church to appear. It is the Holy Fire Church that demonstrates its influence. They are accepted and supported by the people.
The second day is the key to the Evernight Church.
After the performance, Ximen stepped onto the square and received tsunami-like cheers from the people. The sound waves penetrated the iron carriage, and the iron sheet under Wei Miao's body trembled slightly.
She rubbed her ears and smacked her tongue secretly. By the way, the resources of the opponent's copy this time are a bit too good. At least compared to her, the resources are completely superior. Her only strength advantage is based on her own accumulation.
The beginning was an attack, and then it was a battle destined to be at a disadvantage. Because of Euphia's compassion, she had to go deep into the land of eternal night to hunt the flame dragon. When she came to the imperial capital, she had to fight with a group of old coins.
But Ximen seemed to be able to reach this point naturally without doing anything special.
After the bells rang round after round, the eighth day of the seventh round came quickly. Ashes were flying, and Wei Miao was standing in the corner of the square, wearing a nun's uniform, with a calm expression under her hood.
Most of the crowds around her wore hats like her and rarely held umbrellas, because this would prevent the crowd behind them from noticing His Majesty the Emperor who was speaking, but the number of people Obviously it can't compare to yesterday's grand occasion.
In the Torch Square, a three-meter-high ebony platform was built next to the torch.
Pablo took the stage as usual, talking familiarly about this year's harvest, expressing regret for the disaster, and expressing hope and yearning for a new life.
“The divine flame is testing our perseverance. If we survive the eternal night, the light will last forever!”
“However, we cannot ignore it. The more we temper ourselves, the stronger we will become. Perhaps, we can embrace the dark eternal night. , can you understand the true meaning of the divine flame!"
"Regard it as a simple power and tool, dedicate your heart to the divine flame, and use your body in darkness to do things of light!"
“Night watchmen no longer serve as servants of eternal night, but are watchers who bear the dark night for the world, waiting for the light and fighting against disasters...”
These words shocked the people around them, because they overturned the Holy Fire's consistent criticism and gave a positive meaning to the existence of the Eternal Night Church.
No, in fact, it only gives a positive meaning to the Night Watcher, and it relies on the positive meaning of the Divine Flame. There is not even a word about the church.
“Believers are the foundation of the church’s existence. In the past, Yongye relied on ideas, and the Holy Fire relied on great righteousness. Now, great righteousness also favors Yongye, but the old believers, the original pillars of the church, will have their own past existence. and doubts about faith."
"If the Evernight Church cannot survive this 'disunion', perhaps... the Evernight Church, which has managed to survive for so many years, will be easily destroyed!"
< br>“Being shaken and annexed by the Holy Fire Church with new faith!”
Wei Miao watched silently, with many thoughts flashing through her mind. It is certainly the general trend for the Night Watchmen to stand in front of the stage, but it is obvious that the Holy Fire Church also has other thoughts.
But what needs to worry is the church’s senior leadership. As the highest combat power and the representative of the Night Watch, Euphia doesn’t have to worry about her situation at all. If Wei Miao survives here for a long time, her crooked mind may change for this chaotic situation. Unfortunately, she is just a passerby.
Risk is directly proportional to reward. If this hurdle is crossed, the development of Yongye Church will make a qualitative leap.
In fact, the Yongye Church can develop to its current scale. Judging from the balance of power, Wei Miao feels that it is somewhat abnormal.
“Next, the representative of the Night Watch, Sister Eternal Night, Euphia Itno will show us that eternal night not only represents darkness, it can also be a weapon to cut through disasters. In the Divine Flame Before it grew, even the world had a long night, which was the brick of light and heat.”
As soon as Pablo finished speaking, the people in the audience laughed. Clearing Yong Ye's name has shattered countless people's views, and now Sister Yong Ye is actually being asked to make a public appearance at the Sacred Tree Ceremony!
Is this blasphemy against the sacred tree?
Wei Miao, whose presence was close to zero, walked up the stairs and onto the high platform under the gaze of countless confused people.
At a glance, the people in the audience were whispering to each other and looking at her with eyes full of disgust and doubt. The people living in the imperial capital are most deeply influenced by the traditional ideas of the Holy Fire Church.
Wei Miao had no stage fright. She stood upright and raised her head slightly, looking down at the ignorant crowd below. She suddenly felt a sense of alienation that transcended the world.
A fire bearer led a ferocious-looking Balrog onto the stage. It looks like a lion, with hard thorns on its body, flames coming from its eyes, and its body is dark red.
This is a kind of flaming demon with a fierce look and a soft heart. It can be controlled by the fire bearer and used as a prop for this performance.
It walked to the right side of Wei Miao, and the fire bearer immediately stepped down.
The nun faced the audience, smiled and drew her sword, and in an instant, the night knife was unsheathed.
A black arc of light passed smoothly, and the Balrog's head was cut off neatly.
Lava-like blood spurted out, showing everyone the majesty of Eternal Night.
