Chapter 176 The Power of Faith
Triumph Square, Fes Kingdom Holy Festival Celebration.
As the salute sounded, Morton Faith, wearing a luxurious golden robe, slowly walked to the high platform in the center of the square, escorted by a crowd of people.
Stepping on the long red carpet, passing by the knights who drew their swords and saluted, His Majesty the King climbed the steps step by step and sat on the throne, which symbolized the most noble honor of the kingdom.
Morton Face's face looked much better than when Li Si saw him the last two times. His face was rosy, his eyes were bright, and he smiled and gestured to the nobles who were saluting around him.
Maybe it was a cover-up to reassure the people of the kingdom. After all, Morton Faith was known as the wisest king since the founding of the kingdom, and was the soul of the rise of the Kingdom of Faith into the strongest kingdom in the Eastern Continent.
It can be said that just the news that he will die soon will cause a stir.
However, Li Si knew that Morton Faith still took a long time to pass away, paving the way for Taiya to successfully take over the rights of the kingdom.
After King Morton sat on the throne, the Holy Festival celebration officially began.
The Holy Festival celebrations in recent years have all been presided over by Duke Hader.
The first is the sacrifice and blessing ceremony to the God of Morning and the Goddess of Earth.
As the main belief in the Kingdom of Fes, the Church of the Dawn naturally accounts for the majority of believers in the kingdom, but this does not mean that there are no beliefs in other gods.
Many gods, such as the Goddess of Earth and the God of War, have believers and churches in the Kingdom of Fes. There are even beliefs in gods, large and small, that are spread everywhere, but The scale is far less than that of Morningside Church.
The Church of Dawn does not intend to completely prohibit the propagation of beliefs in other gods. At most, it only excludes and squeezes them.
In Bright City, there are churches of other churches of gods, which are much smaller in size and do not have any strong men stationed to guard them.
The other churches of the gods all agree that the Kingdom of Fes is the headquarters of the Church of the Dawn, and vice versa.
The Zhengshen sequence, which is also in the camp of human gods, has maintained a relatively harmonious internal state despite external pressure. After all, targeting believers of other gods at will will cause a divine war.
However, for those evil god churches, there is not so much emphasis on it.
In the Holy Festival ceremony, the gods worshiped in the Kingdom celebration are the God of Dawn and the Goddess of Earth.
The God of Dawn is naturally the main object of sacrifice. The royal family members, officials and nobles of the Kingdom of Fes and most of the people believe in the God of Dawn.
The Earth Goddess is quite special. After all, the Holy Festival is a festival to celebrate the harvest and pray for good weather in the coming year. As the Earth Goddess with the priesthood of [Earth] and [Agriculture], she is naturally a deity closely related to the harvest, so she is also worshiped during the festival. List.
All the nobles and kingdom officials present presented a full golden ear of wheat to the statues of the God of Dawn and the Goddess of Earth in order. His Majesty the King, accompanied by the second prince Yat'an, presented to the two The gods offer the most abundant fruits and vegetables in autumn, and white bread that is freshly baked and still smells of sunshine.
After the pastors of Morningside Church and Earth Church brought the frangipani and pansy flowers representing the God of Morning to the altar, and sprinkled clove essential oil and benzoin essential oil, everyone present bowed their heads to the two gods. pray.
The same goes for the residents around the square. There are even devout believers kneeling on their knees, clasping their hands and praying silently.
Grateful for this year’s harvest and peace!
Praying for peace and good luck in the coming year!
Although Li Si did not believe in the two gods, or was just a shallow believer, he couldn't help but become a little more serious under the influence of this solemn atmosphere, and then lowered his head and recited a few words silently in his heart.
At this moment, Li Si seemed to feel something.
I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been in contact with the power of gods many times, or if I’ve looked directly at gods.
Li Si felt an inexplicable force slowly wandering around him, converging on the statue from all directions. This.
This was the first time Li Si encountered such a situation. He looked around carefully and had some guesses in his mind.
Wisps of power continued to float out from the people praying quietly around the square, but the inexplicable power appearing on the nobles was much less.
This inexplicable power continues to condense in the two statues, and the fluctuations of divine power that make people feel peaceful and strong spread from the statues to the surroundings. At the same time, the statues also begin to emit a pale white light.
After feeling the magic on the statue, the people couldn't help but become more devout in their faith.
Li Si clearly saw that two illusory doors opened on the two statues, constantly accepting the power condensed in the statues.
Could it be that what I feel is the power of faith?
The root of the gods?
No wonder there is such a big battle. Sure enough, the power of faith is very important to the gods!
Li Si secretly noticed that although the power of these beliefs was still far away for him, after all, it was the foundation that all the gods were fighting for, and there must be great secrets in it.
After the pastors of Dawn Church and Earth Church announced the end of the sacrificial ceremony, the solemn atmosphere gradually dissipated.
Some people around the square also left to enjoy the rare drinks and food today, but more people stayed, waiting for the subsequent canonization ceremony.
This is also what many civilians in Bright Light City talk about after dinner.
The so-and-so family is in ruins, and the new head of the family has not inherited the title.
So-and-so is so awesome that he was directly canonized as a palace viscount.
Li Si also stood aside under the leadership of the waiter, waiting for His Majesty the King's call.
Looking at the people lined up behind him, Li Si couldn't help but laugh.
It seemed that I was the youngest in this canonization ceremony, but in the end, I still stood at the front.
The people behind him were also a little confused. After all, many of them were knighted for the first time, so naturally they didn't know Li Si.
But they also know that the higher the title awarded in the canonization ceremony, the first to appear.
As for the young man in front of him, he is so young. Could it be that he wants to inherit the title of his ancestors? I haven't heard that the head of any big noble family has passed away.
Li Si naturally ignored the doubts of others. He did not attach much importance to the title of Marquis. After all, he had chosen another extraordinary path that was more ambitious, broader, and more difficult and dangerous.
Li Si believed that this title of marquis was just an embellishment for him.
For example, Teacher Fran, as a legendary mage, he could occupy a piece of land and become the king on his own, but that one found it too troublesome and did not even accept the title of Duke of the kingdom.
Just when Li Si’s thoughts were wandering, Duke Harder’s voice sounded.
"Silence!"
"The canonization ceremony begins!"
"Please"
"Palace Viscount, Lis Kane!"
