Holy Wing Islands, the royal capital of Hira.
The news that the church will hold the rite of the gods in three days has
spread in the city-they not only issued notices at the gate of the Central
Holy See, but also propagated back and forth in various blocks to inform
everyone that the gods are about to return to Sheila.
"The meeting with the delegation of ambassadors is also arranged at the
ceremony?" Xia Fan took the invitation letter from the butler and glanced
over.
"Yes." The butler replied respectfully, "This shows that the church attaches
great importance to the connection with the East. By then, the entire city of
Shira will know the existence of your country."
"I see, when the angel group will be ready for the itinerary."
"Thank you for your cooperation." The butler said with satisfaction, "If you
need anything, you can notify me at any time."
"Wait a minute." When the other party was about to turn around and leave, Xia
Fan stopped him, "I heard that the selection of the new son of the Holy Spirit
will also occur at the same time as the ceremony of God's Presence. Is this
true?"
"Yes. This grand ceremony will last one day. The Church of Hera has arranged a
number of matters for this purpose, and the selection of the Son of the Holy
Spirit is one of them." The steward replied.
"But didn't the past sons of the Holy Spirit be screened by traveling around?"
"This time the situation is quite special." The butler smiled, "But the Son of
the Holy Spirit is a person approved by God. In this case, wouldn't it be more
convincing to choose by the God himself?"
After he left the drawing room, Olena walked out from behind another door.
"What do you think of this statement?" Xia Fan asked.
"Theoretically speaking, there is nothing wrong with it..." the dragon girl
groaned, "The baptism of the gods in the past only appeared in the last step.
Now it is equivalent to eliminating the intermediate steps, which can indeed
greatly shorten the selection process of the holy child. But... "She
hesitated, "I'm still a little worried."
According to Olena, the candidate son needs to spend one to two years
traveling to the Holy Wing Islands to show his talents and abilities to
believers everywhere, which is quite like a kind of draft. In this process,
the child who is favored by the most believers will become the saint child,
and will gain the power to perform divine arts after being baptized.
This is also the point that makes Xia Fan the most curious—Western extreme
magic arts do not seem to need to be learned, but are bestowed by gods for
specific reasons. Once the belief is unstable, these magic arts will disappear
with them. However, there is no such problem in surgery.
Now the church obviously does not intend to follow the rules of the past. They
singled out so many candidates at one time, not only to demonstrate the
church's "surplus", but also to facilitate the gods to directly select
suitable children as the sons of the Holy Spirit.
There is no doubt that if the Divine Prosperity Ceremony is successful, the
doubts faced by the church will be easily resolved.
After all, in the Holy Wing Islands, Hera is not a fictional legend.
It can be seen and touched.
Therefore, the most straightforward way to fight back against the rumors of
the fall of the gods is to ask Hera to come forward.
"Why don't it be so good, you will act with the ambassador team that day." Xia
Fan said in a deep thought, "We are staring at the blood clan. The probability
of a problem is not high, but the ambassador needs Wu Yue to pretend to be me.
In case there is something wrong with him, you can also remind him."
This is exactly the plan Xia Fan put forward a few days ago.
Wu Yuelai, the trainee captain of the Baisha, dressed as the head of the
mission and attended the diplomatic conference organized by the church instead
of him. The two are similar in body shape, and the other spends another week
to imitate Xia Fan's words and deeds. Although it is not perfect, it is not
suspicious. In the final analysis, it has been so many days since the missions
have been in the city of Sila. Few people in the church have seen Xia Fan
except the housekeeper. The most familiar Taksis was kept in the confinement
room. There was only one face-to-face meeting, and the invitation for a visit
was turned down because of his busy schedule, so that there was no conclusive
impression of what the Eastern Ambassador looked like.
This is much easier than replacing acquaintances who get along day and night.
As long as you speak less at the ceremony and follow the diplomatic statutes,
the church probably won’t notice that the messenger has changed targets.
"But if I don't go...who will pick up your evacuation?" Olena still hesitated.
"If you don't get caught, won't it be?" Xia Fan comforted her in a relaxed
tone, "Don't worry, even if you can take us to escape Sheila, you can't fly
over the endless sea. If the Baisha is detained, we still can't leave. It’s
far away, so it’s also important to help me look at the church."
Olina was silent for a while and then lowered her head, "I understand...Thank
you."
"If Oren doesn't choose Shengzi, take him back to Jinxia." Xia Fan patted her
shoulder.
Dragon Girl raised her head, a smile appeared in her eyes, "Hmm!"
At this time, Felayton knocked on the door and walked in, "Mr. Xia, I have
heard about the verdict of Taksis Wing Wing."
"Oh?" Xia Fan turned around, "What is it?"
"Under the condition of imprisoning ability, retake the road to the dragon."
Feleton replied.
...
Three days came in an instant, and under the careful arrangement of the
church, the city of Shila ushered in a grand scene that hadn't been seen in
more than ten years.
The walls of the Shangcheng District are covered with bright silks, and
colorful flags fluttering in the wind can be seen everywhere in the streets
and lanes; in the core of the Holy See, the ground is even covered with red
carpets, and there are free ones at the intersection of several streets.
Drinks were distributed, UU reading www.uukanshu.com attracted a large number
of onlookers to join in the excitement.
The last time such a grand ceremony was when Pella IV was crowned.
Such bold layout also dispelled many people's suspicions.
It’s not just a matter of money to dress up the huge king in a few days.
Without the concerted efforts of tens of thousands of believers, and the
cooperation of many nobles and merchants, no one would want to do this easily.
. In the eyes of the people, the Central Holy See is still the only force that
has great organizational ability and can unite forces.
"Woo—————"
"Welcome the envoys from the Eastern Continent to the Shenlin Festival!"
Amid the low sound of the trombone horn, Olena and the others walked through
the snow-white marble palace gate and stepped into the inner courtyard square
of the Holy See.
This place has been transformed into an occasion suitable for holding a
ceremony. Except for the direction facing the gate, several rows of stone
steps have been erected on the other three sides for ordinary guests to sit
in. A little further up is the "acoustic area"-the platforms adjacent to the
square were originally filled with round tables and benches. People sitting on
this floor will know that they have extraordinary backgrounds, and they are
basically nobles and wealthy merchants.
As for the church area on the top floor of the inner courtyard, it is
obviously the exclusive place for the high-level church and important guests.
"Please go here." The receptionist led the envoy all the way to the entrance
of the cathedral, and finally arranged to be seated on the left side of the
upper area, and everyone was only more than ten steps away from the red
priests.
