The First Order

1128. The Importance of Anti-Stress Training

Vaduz Cathedral is the most typical Gothic building, and its complicated architectural structure makes it look mysterious and solemn.

Pointed arches, pilasters, flower window lattices, and various elements converged into the final appearance of the cathedral. Sixty-one spires point to the sky like a dense tower forest, and a human statue stands on each spire.

"Who are the sculptures on the top of the tower?" Ren Xiaosu looked up.

"It's the great wizards of the Berkeley family," An An replied: "In fact, the tops of the cathedrals in other regions are all outstanding wizards of the wizarding organization. Only the churches in the Berkeley family territory only put sculptures of their own great wizards. Not only In this way, there are 601 statues in this Vaduz cathedral, all of which are wizards of the Berkeley family themselves."

"When was this church built?" Ren Xiaosu asked.

"It was built more than a hundred years ago, but it became what it is now after being renovated sixty years ago," An An said, staring at the sculpture on the spire, "That's when they removed Russell's statue."

Ren Xiaosu glanced at An An: "What does Russell have to do with your organization?"

An An also cast a glance at Ren Xiaosu: "What does this have to do with you?"

Ren Xiaosu smiled and stopped talking. If the organization left by Knight Ren He helped Russell in the catastrophe, then the two parties should have a very close cooperative relationship.

According to Mego's speculation, Russell was assassinated by the nobles of the old era, which seemed to be the reason why An An and others hated wizard organizations.

Of course, all of this is still an uncertain guess, the truth needs to be found by Ren Xiaosu himself.

However, what Ren Xiaosu can be sure of is that the Berkeley family has had ambitions since sixty years ago. They invited all the great wizards of other wizard families from the altar, just for the moment when they turned against each other.

Civil strife? Ren Xiaosu was looking forward to this happening.

"At 6 o'clock, what will the great wizard do in front of the church?" Ren Xiaosu asked.

"It will show miracles," Chen Cheng replied calmly: "Let the people see the power that does not belong to the world, so as to help them strengthen their faith."

"Isn't it just to unleash some good-looking witchcraft?" Ren Xiaosu said disdainfully: "With the energy of pretending to be gods and ghosts, it's better to think about how to make yourself stronger. No wonder you dare not return to science. tear it apart,

Let's go, we'll come back at 6 o'clock. "

Theocracy is the cornerstone of the kingdom of wizards. In order to protect this cornerstone, wizards will not allow anything that can challenge their authority to appear.

As a native of China, Ren Xiaosu would feel that all of this was abnormal, but the subjects here took all of this for granted after experiencing a cultural gap.

When Ren Xiaosu brought Chen Cheng and An An to the inn in the north of the town, Mego and the Sheepman had already gone to bed early.

Meg, the idiot, even left a note in the room assigned to Ren Xiaosu: Get up at 5:30 in the morning to attend the service at Vaduz Cathedral, don't sleep too late.

Ren Xiaosu muttered, "He's still a warm guy."

In the summer morning, the sky will brighten very early, and the sky will turn from black to gray at 5:30.

Mego knocked on the door of Ren Xiaosu's room: "Get up, I'll take you to see the miracle."

Ren Xiaosu opened the door: "You are also a wizard, why do you still believe in miracles?"

"Just kidding," Mego smiled, "We little wizards generally don't want to miss this kind of worship ceremony at the beginning of the month, because this is the best time for us to observe the great wizard casting spells."

"Oh," Ren Xiaosu nodded, "It's just to observe and study."

Originally, Ren Xiaosu thought that he and Mego would be the only ones to observe, but to his surprise, almost half of the entire caravan got up early and rushed towards Vaduz Cathedral.

Not only that, in the entire town of Vaduz, countless subjects are walking out of their homes, converging towards Vaduz Cathedral like streams of water.

People were wearing red robes, and all faces were hidden in the hoods of the red robes. The entire town of Vaduz looked down from the sky like a sea of ​​red.

Mego asked Li Guoguo, the sheep man, to take out some wide red cloths from his bag: "We didn't bring red clothes, so I asked Li Guoguo to buy some red cloths for emergencies. Hurry up and put them on yourself. Cover your head."

Ren Xiaosu sized it up, the red cloth was indeed big enough, it looked like a bed sheet...

"Why are you wearing a red dress?" Ren Xiaosu asked.

"Not wearing red clothes is a disrespect to the gods," Mego said, "If the family conditions allow, you must also hold a lamp in your hand. The lamp oil is also very particular, it must be extracted from goat's milk."

Ren Xiaosu looked around and saw several red-clothed believers holding butter lamps walking slowly.

The so-called religion is definitely not just giving people a god. It must have strict rituals, and the more rituals, the more mysterious it is.

But what Ren Xiaosu saw when he saw this scene was that everyone was wearing red clothes, which would be very convenient for the assassin to execute the beheading. After the murder, just put on a piece of red cloth and leave with the crowd.

For example, if he wants to kill the great wizard, he only needs to shoot casually within the shooting range, and then he can throw away the gun and mix into the crowd.

If a wizard can use witchcraft to block bullets, then he can also use black sniper, if black sniper is not enough, he will use black bullet, which is quite cruel.

Seeing that Ren Xiaosu was silent, Mego asked curiously, "What are you thinking?"

"Oh, it's nothing," Ren Xiaosu smiled harmlessly.

At this time, a sea of ​​red people had gathered in front of the Vaduz Cathedral, and five wizards in red robes were already standing on the red carpet at the entrance of the church.

The difference between the costumes of wizards and subjects is that their red robes are decorated with white ermine fur.

At six o'clock, behind the huge clock at the top of the cathedral, a loud bell rang.

The five wizards on the red carpet opened their arms at the same time, as if embracing the gods in the sky.

"Is the person at the front the Patriarch of Berkeley?" Ren Xiaosu asked in a low voice.

"No, that Patriarch has long since stopped participating in such matters," Mego said, "Don't talk yet, the ceremony is about to begin."

When the bell fell, the great wizard standing at the front of the red carpet took out his red eye of true seeing from his sleeve, and all the subjects held their breaths.

The great wizard chanted loudly: "There.is.no.such.things..."

"Snapped."

In the morning light, a black door of shadows suddenly opened in front of the great wizard, and a slender but powerful hand stretched out from behind the door, and slammed it fiercely on the face of the great wizard, interrupting the singing... …

Ren Xiaosu murmured, "Are you saying that stress training is important or not?"
