Without the interference of the Zoroastrianism, Dorgun built the temple quite quickly, four days ahead of schedule. .The original scheduled plan would take time, but Beta already felt that it was going to be very fast, but I didn't expect it to be faster.
More importantly, the construction quality of the temple is very good, and all the stone materials are first-class. Beta was very satisfied when he checked and accepted it, and couldn't help but give an extra 20 gold coins as the final payment.
Dor Gun naturally accepted it with a happy smile.
In the temple, the statue of the Goddess Wojin has been erected. Although the carving is slightly flawed, but in terms of temperament, it is already 80% similar, and Beta looks quite satisfied.
The next day was the "opening" day of the temple, and there was a ceremony of inviting the gods. Beta and the caliph discussed it and decided that the latter would perform the ceremony. They discussed the specific steps overnight. In fact, Beta unilaterally decided to Ritual prayers are taught to the Caliph.
In the early morning of the next day, the gate of the temple was opened wide, and the stone chairs in the main hall were full of people, most of them were nobles, and some were wealthy businessmen. The commoners, on the other hand, looked outside the gate, joining in the fun.
Naturally, Pete also came, and he sat on the bench in the first row. Now that he is a professional, in the eyes of the nobles, he is already qualified to sit with people of his level.
There were voices in the temple, a little like a marketplace, most of them hating the statue of Woking.
"The Goddess of Wealth is so beautiful? I have to believe in her. It doesn't seem like a loss."
"Will believing in her guarantee our fortune?"
"Why don't other goddesses let the world know their appearance, but she doesn't care?"
Similar discussions have been heard all the time... Beta heard clearly in the prayer room at the back. He is very satisfied with this. It seems that there is no problem with this decision. It really made those nobles pay more attention to the Ottomans. After the news spread, when others mentioned that they belonged to the Ottomans, the first reaction must be: Ottoin The goddess is the most beautiful, and then the goddess who can fight the most.
The caliph sitting opposite asked curiously: "I heard that those craftsmen carved the statue of the goddess according to your drawing. Beta believers, have you seen the goddess?"
Beta nodded, this is not a secret thing.
Khalifa snorted, but was a little surprised in his heart. Generally speaking, goddesses disdain to communicate with mortals. Even if they are their own believers, it is quite a blessing to be able to respond with a few words occasionally, but Beta has 'seen' the goddess before, and she still draws it like this Well, presumably seeing one is not once or twice at all.
Could it be that Beta believers are holy people
When the caliph was thinking about this issue, the time was up soon. Under the reminder of Beta, the two came out of the prayer room and came to the goddess statue.
Seeing the two, everyone shut their mouths and looked at them quietly.
Because the ceremony was presided over by the Caliph, the opening day of the temple was presided over by the Caliph.
Khalifa looked around. Although it was his first time to preside over such an occasion, and it was also the first time he faced so many nobles and wealthy businessmen, but because he was already a lv5 professional, he didn't feel nervous at all.
"Welcome all nobles and friends to attend the opening day of our church. Here, we reiterate two points. First, our Temple of Wealth will always protect the people of the Northland and keep everyone away from the suffering of the cold. Second, We absolutely don’t charge any vignette tax, we don’t charge any taxes, we don’t force donations from anyone, we don’t need anything.”
"Our god religion will never treat anyone as a heretic, because in the eyes of our goddess, people all over the world should love each other, regardless of whether you believe in her or not. Even if you believe in evil gods, as long as you change your ways, you can still go Our church comes to pray and receive the blessing of the goddess."
As soon as these words came out, all the nobles were whispering.
One couldn't help asking: "Then how do you make money... Anyway, the temple staff need money to eat, drink, and scatter."
"About this point, there will be Beta believers and the current local archbishop to talk to you." The caliph took a deep breath: "Now, it's time for us to invite the goddess Wojin, we will ask the goddess, Make her gaze, fixed on this place forever."
After speaking, the caliph turned around, knelt down on one knee, stroked his forehead with his left hand, and recited the ritual prayer devoutly.
His voice was not loud, but it filled the entire church, and there seemed to be a strange power in his voice, as if it could penetrate time and space, and reach places beyond the reach of human beings.
As the prayers gradually unfolded, the people sitting in the church felt that they were noticed by a strange force. This force is very gentle, it doesn't make people feel any pressure, and it even makes people feel a little warm.
When the caliph finished reading the prayer, the power was so obvious that it made people feel very comfortable soaking in the warm spring water. Then a golden light from the sky passed through the top of the church and poured directly into the statue of the goddess, and then the statue of the goddess seemed to come alive, with a rich golden light in its eyes.
The Caliph stood up. As a priest, he could already feel the existence of the goddess, and could feel that the goddess had projected good power over him.
However, he always had the feeling that after Goddess Wojin's divine sense came, she seemed to be staring at the Beta believers beside him, and he didn't know if it was an illusion.
Woking left a thought on the idol here, and then left again. The warm feeling gradually dissipated, and all the affected people felt a sense of loss, and they didn't want to lose this warm and comfortable feeling.
It seems... Belief in the Goddess of Wealth is also a good thing.
Many people had such thoughts on the spot.
The Caliph stepped aside, and Beta stood behind the altar. He cleared his throat and said, "My name is Beta. Many people know me, so I won't introduce myself any more. Now, it's time for me to fulfill my promise. Some time ago, I made a donation, and I'm willing to do it again." Spend one hundred gold coins for the gold coin offering, Your Excellencies, please take your gold coins and come up."
Seven paunchy nobles, each dragging a big box, came up.
Beta sacrificed gold coins to them one by one in order of donation time. The fat people were covered by the golden magic circle, and they came out after a few seconds. Not only did they become thinner, but they also gained muscle, and they were obviously at least twenty years younger. The six middle-aged nobles directly changed back to their youthful appearance, and the last old nobleman changed back to his middle-aged appearance.
Turning on personal professional ability can actually increase lifespan
The aristocrats, especially the female aristocrats, who watched the whole process of the gold coin sacrifice, looked at Beta with eyes that gradually became crazy.
