Everyone was getting along happily, sharing the sacrament, and praising the gods. Huo felt that he had completely integrated into the scene. He had never felt so happy, as if all the pain and suffering he had endured in all these years were for this day.
On this not-so-special day, his God finally showed him kindness.
"Yes, yes, that's the tune."
Leah directed Huo and taught him to hum the melody.
Huault had no musical talent. He once tried to sing the barcarolle with the sailors, but they warned him that if he sang along again, they would throw him into the sea.
Huo was lost for a long time at that time.
"That's right."
Liya said and hummed.
This is an ancient, long-forgotten melody, a melody without a name, but it seems to have magical power. Although Liya's singing was very awkward and there was no famous performance to accompany it, Hu Ao somehow felt a bit of sacredness in it, and he couldn't help but reverence it in his heart.
The melody even startled Hercules who was standing nearby. He had been observing these people. To be honest, Hercules could not find any useful information. If the action did not involve this sect, Hercules would have felt that this sect was not so disgusting based on Leah's description alone.
This is a pretty good sect, with food and drink, and everyone is like a family. Thinking back to the decadent Evangelical Church, Hercule felt that perhaps the Evangelical Church should have been like this in the early days.
However... everything has a price. Hercule did not believe that this orthodox church would ask for nothing. But if you think about it carefully, these people have no value at all. What price can they pay and what benefits can they gain
But just as he was thinking, a familiar melody sounded, and Hercule slowly turned his head and looked at the girl beside him.
"What song is this?"
Hercule looked serious.
"Holy... hymns."
Seeing Hercule's serious look, Lea answered directly.
"hymn?"
It was not a name but a category, and Hercule could have pulled out a whole book of hymns from a church if he had called it that.
"Probably. I don't know. Anyway, this is what I learned from the cardinals."
Leah replied, looking at Hercule's appearance, she felt a little scared.
Hercule probably realized his problem. He calmed down and continued.
"Don't be afraid... It's just that a friend of mine also knows this melody, and I was surprised to hear it here."
"Is that so?" Liya became lively again. "Then your friend should also be a believer of the Orthodox Church. After all, it seems that only cardinals know this. I also learned it secretly... Wait, your friend is not also at the level of cardinal."
The way Leah looked at Hercule suddenly changed. Hercule was too lazy to answer these questions, so he continued to ask.
"You mean the Cardinal? Which Cardinal did you learn this from?"
Leah fell silent for a moment, but Hercule was not going to let the girl off easily. He put pressure on the girl with a blank expression on his face.
