Some things are changing at a terrifying rate.
The cold winter has passed, but the situation has not improved.
Dade is a small castle in Blaisey. Its owner, Rob, is standing on the tower of the castle. The castle changed to the flag of the golden cross on a white background a week ago. At the beginning of the "Battle of God's Responsibility", Rob simply and neatly changed the tulip flag hanging in the castle.
Although the war was tragic, the plague did not stop because of the war.
The Black Death, which broke out last winter, has continued, even in a small city like Dade, it is shrouded in shadow. The reason why the Alliance Army of the Great Lord was so vulnerable in front of the Temple Knights was also inseparable from the Black Death.
There are dead people all over the place, and brave knights are no different from old men, women and children in the face of the plague.
In just a few months, a small castle owner like Rob watched the number of people on the territory dwindle day by day, and the spring ploughing had reached the point where he didn't even have enough people to work in the wheat fields. Village after village empties... It's something that's happening everywhere in Blasey's country.
This is because the Blaises have sinned.
Their king broke his oath to the Lord, so the Lord punished them with divine punishment.
—This is what the priests said.
Many people believed it. In the "Battle of God's Responsibility", many people who were afraid of the Black Death spontaneously joined the army of the Knights of the Temple against the Alliance of Lords, and some castles even had their drawbridges lowered by the defenders in the castles. Opened from the inside.
After the "God's Responsibility", the priests have completely stationed in the country's regime machine.
This is unprecedented, and whether it turns out right or wrong depends on today.
Today is the "Day of Forgiveness", the Holy See proclaimed that the repentance of the people of Blaise will be forgiven by the Lord, and today will be the day when the gods forgive the world, and the Lord will perform an unprecedented miracle to drive out the black death that hangs over people's heads. sick.
Rob nervously asked himself, although he is a believer, it is not necessarily how devout he is. However, today he had to be nervous.
In the church of Castle Dade, all the priests bowed their heads solemnly and stood in front of the icon, the sun falling from the dome, more dazzling than before. When the bell rang for the first time, the choir began to sing the chapters of the holy book in unison, and all raised their hands to hold the cross on their chests.
From the obscure small castle of Dade to the bustling big city of the port, to the Azali Cathedral in the capital of Blaisey.
All are waiting.
The believers knelt on the ground outside the church. Too many corpses died of the Black Death were still too late to be buried in the public cemetery outside the city. Crows circled and the sky was bright. They couldn't save themselves and had to pray to the gods to save them.
Blaise's new king, Charlie, also knelt outside the church, crowned and head bowed.
The bell rang.
There is only one huge copper bell in the Aseli Cathedral, but the loud bell seems to have collided with the air, overlapping each other, and gradually it is like all over the country, all the church bells are gathered here. People shivered in the splendid sound of the bell, feeling like a leaf on the raging sea.
The chants sounded at this time.
Choir songs floated out of the ornate cathedral and circled upwards.
The priests who hold the key to the "gate to the kingdom of God" recite in unison, they are the apostles of the gods. That's why the Pope didn't pay attention to the voice in Legrand. People will see with their own eyes that the Holy See, the priests, they are indeed the servants of the gods, and they indeed have the power to communicate with the Holy Lord.
They are the go-betweens between God and man, the shepherds of all beings.
In the secret room of the church, coffins containing holy bones were placed beside the saints. The brilliance of the sacred bones erupted from the coffins and gathered on the saints.
The chants were blended into the bells, and people couldn't help but crawl more and more, and read the chapters of the holy book together. The sun in the sky is getting more and more dazzling, the wind is rolling in the sky, and the thick clouds are gathered together, but the color of the clouds is bright and white, as if something is brewing.
The chants echoed between heaven and earth, overlapping and overlapping.
It was as if an angel above the clouds answered the mortal singing.
In the Aselli Cathedral, the Pope with a high crown suddenly opened his eyes. His old hand raised a heavy scepter high: "Holy Lord! Please have mercy on your believers who are in sin, and please forgive our sins of ignorance and arrogance! Holy Lord! We Submit your authority to you, please come to your land and build your kingdom!"
The old man with gray hair seemed to have the power to shake the whole world at this time.
The priests followed with a loud prayer, followed by the faithful.
The voices gathered like wild thunder, whirring up.
In the secret room, all the Blessed Ones opened their eyes at the same moment, and their eyes were as transparent as mirrors, indifferent.
The devotees cheered, and they saw the bright light burst out from the clouds in the sky, and the Lord heard the voice of his followers, and finally sent down his own angel to forgive their sins. This is an unparalleled great miracle, the seraph appeared in the clouds, and looked down at all beings crawling on the earth with pity.
They are so noble, so holy, so powerful.
After witnessing such a miracle, the most arrogant heretics and the most insane heretics will fall to their knees and surrender to the arms of God.
People suddenly burst into tears.
In Blasey, ravaged by the Black Death, the Lord forgave their sins and finally sent His angels to save His followers.
The angel fluttered his wings, and the sun leaked from the clouds.
As if a white transparent flame was burning close to the ground, everyone felt as if they were in a hot spring, warm and warm, as if they were gently stroked by the Virgin Mary on their foreheads. In this warmth, it seems that there are many invisible things being burned and swept away. The crow that had eaten the carrion fluttered its wings, and the black clouds of hell were expelled from the world.
Dying patients saw in their agony the radiance of an angel enveloped them, and then they felt the pain vanish in an instant. The recovered person walks out of the house and kneels before the phantoms of the angels in the sky.
"Holy holy! King of kings! Lord of the kingdom of God!"
The Pope shouted.
"Holy holy! King of kings! Lord of the kingdom of God!"
Everyone shouted in unison.
The Pope's robes are free from wind and make a strong noise. He holds the scepter high. As the merciful Holy Father of the believers, his eyes are cold and deep like the sea.
Who dares to fight against such a force
Who can resist such a force? !
Before the gods, before the extraordinary, all mortals were ants!
…
On this day, on the west side of Abyss Strait.
On the ghost ship "Jenny", the witch wears thick glasses, Hawkins sits on the mast; Metzl Castle, Dean Anil prostrates in St. Wies Cathedral, General John's hand is on the hilt of the sword On the top, the astrologers looked panicked, the Queen Mother of Illinois stood in front of the tombstone of William III; near the royal city, General Sheen led an iron cavalry of roses to the direction of Beaumarie Castle...
And many more who didn't know what was going on looked to the east sky subconsciously.
In the dark, they felt a terrifying power that taught people to subconsciously want to crawl on the ground.
"That's a miracle."
The king stood on the highest tower of the Rose Palace, the high air blowing his robes. The black stone tower where he is standing has stood in Rose Castle for many years. The tower wall is thick and cold. Even if the winter has passed, it still carries a dreadful chill. Like this is the fangs of the dragon.
When the power of the gods came to the human world for the first time after more than a thousand years, the king and the devil stood together from the height of this tower and watched. Across the Abyss Strait, they stand on the opposite side of that terrifying, overwhelming force.
"As expected of the Holy Court that has accumulated more than a thousand years."
The devil stands behind the king.
This sentence should have been exclamation, but the devil's tone was more like a gambler, smiling casually and frivolously in the face of his enemy. To a certain extent, the king and the devil have a similarity - they are both madmen who face the gods, not only do not bow down, but draw their swords instead.
"and you?"
The devil smiled and asked the king.
"The Holy Court has begun, do you want to begin?"
The king turned his head to look at him: "Don't you know what we actually want to do? Why are you so excited?"
"Don't misunderstand hell, Your Majesty." The devil not only did not restrain himself, but laughed even more happily, "What is hell? There is no order, no morality, all chaos and all evil, all gathered there. Hell is never a good place, do you think the true inhabitants of hell would love it and be united as a family?"
"Do not."
"The demons of hell have always only had desires, and the rules there are no rules."
The devil took the other rose from his neck and handed it to the king. Even by human standards, the devil is exceptionally handsome. It's just that he is too pale and evil, as handsome as a long knife that can be known to be poisoned at a glance. Beneath the elegance hides the element of madness.
"If you are strong enough, your rules are the rules of hell."
He smiled.
The king looked at him for a while and took the rose he handed over.
The devil hummed the old ditty in a cheerful mood.
He climbed out of the deepest wall of worms, and the wall of worms is the truest portrayal of hell. In hell, there is only fighting and the winner is the king. All the morals and principles of human beings are all in hell. And he accepts only one hell.
A short-lived hell that runs according to the king's will.
"Let's begin, Your Majesty."
said the devil.
The king turned and walked to the stone table in the middle of the tower. The gift that the devil had given him was on the stone table - the box that was said to be the key to the Millennium Kingdom. At the moment when the king turned around, the devil was holding a black umbrella and the king was holding a dark red rose.
They stand opposite each other, like the positive and negative sides of an ancient contract.
The devil looked in Blasey's direction and hummed the old tune softly.
an ambition.
In the age of legends long ago, the Rose family just didn't want to live like an ant just for food, so they slaughtered the dragon. But later, the Qiangwei family discovered that when the dragon died, there was still more power to turn mortals into puppets and slaves.
They want equality, but the dragon doesn't give it to them, the gods don't give it to them, and no one in heaven and earth will give it to them.
So, later they had an ambition.
An ambition that only an unreasonable lunatic would have:
No one wants to give them equality, then they don't need to be given equality. They want mortals to be masters of all extraordinary powers!
They want the voice of mortals to echo in the long river of history and never die.
