Chapter 438
As for moving another chair, it was not even within the scope of their thinking.
Squeezed on a chair, the air seemed to become hot and sticky.
Rin put one arm around Xiye's waist, grabbed her hand with one hand, and took her to practice calligraphy.
I don't know when, Xiye's originally stiff and straight back slowly relaxed, and the little stars in her eyes began to spin wildly, stirring up wisps of mist.
Rin's eyes also unconsciously glanced around. Although he kept muttering in his heart that today was the birthday of the gods and today was a sacred day, he was getting more and more excited.
Finally, the pens in the hands of the two suddenly fell on the paper, and the sword saint also sat on Rin's legs.
The two of them giggled and assisted each other in practicing for a while. Xiye felt that the examination room was a bit crowded and he seemed a bit heavy, so he suggested.
"Brother...brother, why don't we practice calligraphy in another place?"
"No need! Right here. Just treat it as...weight training!"
Chapter 80 One wave has not settled, another wave has risen
The result of weight training is not ideal.
Because the chair collapsed.
It's not that the chair is of poor quality, it's just that it has suffered too much damage that it shouldn't have.
Rin still has a dull pain in her waist. She looks through the crowd and looks at Xiye, and both of them look away.
I don't know what happened to the sword saint girl at night, and she lost her strength.
The collapse of the chair and Rin's shouting woke Iris up. The silly roe deer grumbled and didn't even want to treat Rin.
This hard-heartedness lasted for ten minutes, and in the end, she was distressed that her husband who cheated in the middle of the night lost several healing spells.
Rin felt a little unlucky, but it didn't affect her mood too much. Now she looks energetic and doesn't look like she has been up all night.
And Rin still feels full of energy and has no trace of fatigue.
He was standing in front of the huge statue of the goddess, reciting the sacrificial words with a deep face.
The sacrificial words were written in classical Chinese, similar to the Chuci style. Some of the words were uncommon and the sentences were very difficult to recite.
Fortunately, Lin was influenced by the strange power, and his thoughts were clear and his memory was good. He read it several times before the ceremony began, and he could recite the whole text word for word.
His voice was transmitted throughout the whole process through the loudspeaker, and anyone in the Holy Road City could hear it clearly, so there must be no mistakes.
The Holy Road City was quiet and peaceful, and the light of the statue seemed to pass through the white snow and cover the entire city.
There were faint spots of light in the snow, like fireflies.
According to church records, such a miracle will last for a day and a night, and these spots of light will be more obvious at night, and believers in the whole city will be moved and cheer for it.
It is not known whether it is really the goddess who has brought down another miracle, or whether it is deliberately created by the church, that is not important.
The last paragraph of the ritual needs to be repeated three times, and it ends completely with the last word. After a minute of silence in the venue, the believers on the scene also burst into cheers like a tsunami in the salute.
The sound was like a ball of fire, instantly igniting the entire city. The salutes along the street fired again and again, and the scattered fireworks were soon rubbed into the snow by footsteps.
Rin heard the cheers that came one after another, melting the most sincere kindness, his eyes brightened, and his body trembled slightly.
This was his first time standing high above millions of people and accepting everyone's worship.
It felt completely different from the congratulations during the wedding parade. His feet felt light and his heart was filled with indescribable feelings.
Tiga, who was standing behind Rin, whispered something to a bishop.
The crowd that surrounded the square quickly made way for a wide road.
A long dragon swam in the crowd.
Two rows of Templar Knights, wearing silver-white armor inlaid with gold, and a red cloak embroidered with wings fluttering, looked particularly majestic, and surrounded Rin in the middle.
There was also a row of nuns wearing white vestments, with a loving smile on their faces, throwing golden feathers outward, which fluttered along with the snowflakes.
These feathers were soaked in the holy spring and then dried. They were produced by the golden magpie, a kind of bird often kept as a pet bird on the White Continent.
The feathers of the golden magpie are light golden, shining in the sun and very beautiful, and are quite good raw materials for handicrafts.
Legend has it that their ancestor, the sunbird, is a sacred bird under the seat of the goddess of creation, and anyone who sees it will be blessed with good luck.
However, the golden magpie has a delicate stomach and is difficult to raise. The number is not bad, and the church has put a lot of effort in collecting so many feathers.
Not only are the golden feathers worth some money when made into handicrafts, but they can also be given to each other, and the meaning they represent is also very good, and they are quite popular among the believers of the Holy Dao City.
At the end of the team was a hymn class composed of children, each holding a book in their hands, singing and following the team closely, with a pair of decorative small wings behind the white vestments, which was very cute.
The team set off in a mighty procession. Lin, with a solemn and pious face and half-lowered head, stood in the center of the crowd, wearing a dazzling and brilliant decoration like a peacock spreading its tail in the sun.
Everyone cheered, sang, followed and worshiped. In the excitement of the whole city, Lin finally arrived in front of the church with a load weighing 12 kilograms.
The key authorization ceremony was about to be carried out.
In the holy cathedral, there was a faint sound. Bishops stood on both sides of the high steps. At this time, they all looked solemn, lowered their eyes and muttered something in a low voice.
Anyway, it was the words in the holy book.
Rin looked straight ahead, raised his head and walked step by step along the thick red carpet towards the church at the top.
The red carpet extended all the way into the cathedral. Rin stepped through the door and entered the magnificent temple.
Tiga stood in the position of the chief archbishop, and other archbishops stood beside him in order.
In front of the outermost wall of the spacious temple, a knight stood on the ground with a two-handed sword, as if integrated with the pattern on the stained glass window.
In front of the goddess statue at the end, Willard was looking at him with a smile.
After saying some nice words to follow the procedure, Willard's smile suddenly subsided and said seriously: "Holy Scepter."
Ophelia stepped out of the line, holding a red-rimmed cushioned plate, and came to Willard respectfully.
"Rin Phoenix, come here."
When Rin came to him, Willard suddenly lifted the red silk covering the cushion, and a brilliant golden light burst out from it, scattering in all directions.
After a few seconds, the light gradually dimmed, and a scepter the length of a forearm appeared on the cushion.
The whole place was covered with platinum, and the poles were all inlaid with tiny light crystals. A huge gem that was still flowing with golden light was in the front.
The pure and holy atmosphere permeated the entire church, and Rin could fully feel that the light element in the air became extremely active.
"Give the Son of God the authority to make the great holy light break the darkness and illuminate everything."
Willard picked up the scepter, and Rin half-knelt on the ground, holding up his hands.
Until he received a thick, hard but particularly warm object in his hand, his heart seemed to be baptized, and all selfish thoughts disappeared completely at this moment.
All emotions such as joy and tension disappeared along with it, which surprised Rin.
Meow, this thing is so weird. Just grabbing it makes me feel like an old monk. If I really hold it in my hand for a long time, won’t I really become a saint? !
Seeing that Lin didn’t stand up, Willard smiled and said, "Child, get up."
Rin suddenly realized and stood up, waiting for Willard to put the iconic badge on his chest, grab his wrist and hold it high.
"Glory to the Holy Light!"
"Holy soul, follow the goddess!"
The archbishop and the bishops shouted immediately, and the sound waves spread out of the church and continued to spread, and it took a long time to calm down.
Rin was a little dazed. When he was caught by Willard, the power that wanted to forcibly purify his mind seemed to be curbed.
Villar whispered, "Don't worry, the saint's scepter uses an epic-level purification gem. It has just been taken out of the sacred shelter, so it is quite powerful and will release the power of purification on its own initiative. It will be fine after a while."
Rin nodded in sudden realization, rubbing the angular feeling brought by the crystal on the scepter in his hand, and his head felt cool and comfortable.
The side effect is that he didn't even estimate the approximate value of the scepter.
Putting the scepter away, his emotions returned.
The archbishops and bishops came forward one by one and sprinkled a drop of holy water on Rin's clothes to represent their recognition of the Son of God, and then the ceremony was completely over.
The atmosphere on the scene suddenly became warm, and the bishops gathered in groups of three or two, and some even smiled and congratulated Rin on her marriage.
Of course, there were also those who were dissatisfied with the Son of God's marriage, and they glared at their companions who congratulated Rin.
Times have changed, so they only complained a few words in private, and gave less gifts, but they dared not show less respect.
Didn't you see that the super old-fashioned Tiga and the sub-old-fashioned Webster didn't say much, and the gifts they gave were as generous as they could be?
Of course, they believed that the two archbishops and the pope were extremely loyal to the goddess and too doting on the chosen son of God.
"Okay, everyone go down and prepare. The evening feast will be reveled by everyone and those lovely believers who have taken the trouble to come here. Happy birthday to God!"
The church soon became empty, and Rin's originally straight little body relaxed.
Ophelia smiled and said, "Okay, go change your clothes quickly. Wear ordinary holy clothes. There are prayer rooms and lounges on the side. You can find one at random, our son of God."
The canonization ceremony only lasted a few hours, but it was of great significance. From then on, Rin's body would be marked with the church's symbol.
Everyone was a close friend who could talk about secrets behind closed doors, and Ophelia's attitude became more intimate.
Rin nodded and hurriedly walked towards the small archway on the side.
After a while, he came out wearing his usual vestments. Looking inside the hall, besides the church members, Iris and the others were also there.
In such a solemn religious occasion, even Emilia couldn't appear in the church, so everyone was waiting outside.
Willard stroked his beard, his eyes were so wrinkled with laughter that only one wrinkle remained.
"Rin, how do you feel?"
"Not bad, I suddenly feel a lot of burdens on my shoulders."
This was not a polite remark. When all the believers cheered and worshiped him, Rin really felt a sense of responsibility.
And the determination to save these devout followers from destruction no matter what.
"Then next, you will come forward as the church to the Mirage of the Dead, and go with Tiga, and he will assist you."
Lin suddenly realized that he was there to gain experience and gilding, and the credit would basically go to himself, but in fact, Diga was the one behind the scenes.
After all, the destruction of the city was of great importance, and I was too young to take full command of it.
"Barbara should have been cooperating with you, but once the beast tide breaks out in the Grand Canyon, she, the rune master, must stay there to have the greatest effect."
That's right, Barbara is not a nanny. Her profession is actually a rune master, and she is very good at group blessing runes.
Then the only one who can follow Rin is Diga. Diga is the chief archbishop and has the same status as Rin. Although it may feel like he is taking over the throne, the church says that Rin is the chief general and Diga can only be the deputy general.
Willard shouted to Diga in the distance. Diga, who was listening to Ansel's report, came over after hearing the words.
"Archbishop Diga, have everything been arranged?"
Diga nodded: "Well, the Crusaders and the Imperial Army have jointly deployed defenses at the border, and the Templars have also chosen good people."
The dead city is located in Antia. The army of any country cannot directly press into other territories. Unless a full-scale war has broken out, all the army can do is defend the border.
The number of people who can actually enter Antia is limited. Each empire and powerful kingdom only has about a thousand people, and other small countries only have dozens or hundreds of people. In addition, there are some adventurers.
What's more, its scope is only as large as a city, and Antia's own country's strength is mainly given priority.
By the way, Templar is an honorary title, not a professional rank. In the broad physical ranks (including magic swordsmen, elemental archers), as long as they have enough merit to enter the knights, they will be called Templars.
Magicians and runecasters are still in the magic group.
"I will definitely work with others to resolve the mirage and bring it back to where it belongs."
Lin issued a military order, and Diga and Villar were very satisfied.
Barbara gently touched Rin's head; "The situation is somewhat urgent. It's a pity that you can't stay in the Holy City for a long time. Your Highness must pay attention to safety and put your own safety first in everything."
Webster also said: "That's it. Even in the worst case scenario, if the mirage strengthens the undead and causes them to start another war, we are still sure of victory. But if something happens to His Highness the Holy Son, the glory of the church will not be the same." If we exist again, the goddess will punish us."
Ophelia also said: "Don't show off."
Feeling the concern from everyone, Rin scratched his face, his neck was a little red, and he could only nod his head.
In a trance, I really want to go back to the days when I was surrounded by the elders and aunties in the community before I went on a trip.
"Since the situation is urgent, I'll leave tomorrow." Rin asked.
Willard coughed softly: "Have a day's rest before leaving. Those knights and magicians who are going with you should also have a good time to say goodbye to their families."
At this time, Diga suddenly interjected: "One more thing, Your Majesty, just now Captain Ansel reported to me that someone found a seriously injured monk outside the city not long ago."
They were chatting about business before, and Diga could only put the matter behind and bring it up after what needed to be said. Ansel also quickly came over and knelt down on one knee.
