Boom!
The grand bell suddenly rang in her ears, and the stone statue in front of her became animated. In a trance, Vera only felt as if she saw the incarnation of the Supreme Lord at this moment.
Platinum holy light filled the entire prayer hall at some point, dispelling all the darkness, and even the sunlight that came in from the glazed dome became eclipsed.
Vera's pupils also gradually turned dark golden, and then the golden streamer turned into wisps of smoke as if unreal, covering Vera's exquisite body completely.
In Vera's consciousness, she found that she seemed to be in an independent space. She couldn't hear the sound of the outside world, couldn't feel the existence of outsiders, and even time seemed to have stagnated. The dazzling image of the Lord of Radiance.
The huge and vast holy light can make Vera feel as small as an ant.
Is this really the coming of the Supreme Lord
"Vera St. Hilde."
A grand and ethereal voice rang in Vera's ears, making her soul tremble uncontrollably.
"My lord!"
Vera immediately knelt down on the ground and responded respectfully.
"The devil's believers are lurking beside you, bewitching your people, and messing up your territory, but you don't know anything about it."
The expression on Vera's face froze for a moment, but then a look of struggle appeared again, and she said after a while:
"My lord, please tell me clearly, who is the devil's believer?"
The voice was silent for a moment, as if it didn't expect Vera to dare to ask such a question.
But immediately, the grand voice sounded again, saying a name:
"Colin Angelet!"
Vera suddenly raised her head, and the image of the Lord of Radiance in front of her was exuding a dazzling holy light like the sun, which made her burst into tears, but she still gritted her teeth and insisted:
"Just and wise Supreme Lord! How can you take a pious knight for a follower of the devil?"
In the prayer hall, Turnans looked at Vera who was kneeling in front of him, and frowned tightly. He obviously didn't expect that under such circumstances, Vera was still defending her husband.
Could it be that in her heart, Colin's status is still higher than that of the Lord of Radiance
Or is it that her will is so firm that even the divine magic performed by the Pope himself cannot affect her mind
Tournance hesitated for a moment, and finally took out the sheepskin scroll given to him by the Pope before leaving from his arms with a little helplessness, and slowly unfolded it in front of Vera.
For a moment, the sky in Winter City changed color.
boom!
The dense clouds suddenly exploded, and a clearly visible and vast holy light poured down from the sky, covering the central church of Winter City.
The melodious and holy singing resounded throughout the city, as if it was the voice from heaven.
Such a vision of heaven and earth immediately attracted the attention of the whole city.
"miracle!"
"Praise my Lord!"
"My Lord has mercy!"
…
Countless pious believers immediately prostrated themselves on the ground, worshiping the pillar of holy light that descended from the sky.
However, there were also a few people who looked at this beam of holy light with suspicion in their eyes.
In the prayer hall of the Central Church, the statue of the Lord of Radiance on the Altar of Holy Light began to melt slowly, turning into streamers of golden light that flowed into the scroll in Tournans' hands.
"Vera St. Hilde!"
The grand voice sounded again, only this time, it seemed to come from the depths of Vera's soul.
The struggle on her face completely disappeared, replaced by unparalleled piety and obedience.
…
It seems that a moment has passed, and it seems that a century has passed.
The vision in the sky finally gradually dissipated, but the believers in Cold Winter City were still prostrate on the ground, praying continuously.
Outside the prayer hall of the central church, Archbishop Adjani slowly stood up, looking in the direction of the hall with suspicion.
Behind her, a group of priests excitedly discussed the "miracle" just now, and some even burst into tears.
But of course Adjani knew that it wasn't a miracle at all just now.
The Lord of Radiance has long since stopped paying attention to the human race, and even stopped absorbing the power of faith, so how could he still perform miracles
A bad premonition gradually emerged in Adjani's heart.
At this moment, hurried footsteps sounded outside the church.
Not long after, I saw a waiter rushing to report to Adjani:
"Archbishop, the guards of St. Hilde's family outside surrounded the church!"
"I'll go and have a look." As soon as Adjani took a few steps, she saw a team of guards rushing in and quickly surrounded the prayer hall.
Afterwards, Adjani saw a thin figure coming out of the guards.
"Marquis Garcia, what are you doing?" Ajani asked with a solemn expression.
Although the marquis who used to dominate the northern border is no longer in charge of the military, and even his body is not as good as before, he walks with a limp, and his posture is slightly hunched, but everyone present can still feel the rush huge stress.
The Marquis of Garcia walked slowly in front of Adjani, and said expressionlessly: "I will pick up the Duke of St. Hilde."
Adjani smiled slightly and said, "Marquis Garcia, the Duke is talking with Cardinal Tournance in the prayer hall, please wait patiently."
"Tournans?" Marquis Garcia sneered, as if recalling some bad memories because of the name, snorted softly, walked straight to the prayer hall, bypassing Archbishop Ajani in front of him.
Ajani hesitated for a moment, but did not step forward to stop her.
The emeritus bishop at the side stepped forward a few steps, stood in front of Marquis Garcia, and said solemnly:
"Master Marquis, please wait outside the hall!"
However, the Marquis Garcia didn't seem to see the bishop of Winter City, he kept walking and bumped into him directly.
Even though he was seriously injured in the Battle of Shadow Canyon and became ill, Marquis Garcia was not something a priest could stop him.
The emeritus bishop was knocked back a few steps and fell to the ground.
Seeing this, the rest of the priests of course did not dare to step forward, for they were already in awe of the glaring gazes of the St. Hilde family guards around them.
But just as Marquis Garcia was about to step into the prayer hall, a figure came out from inside.
"Uncle, why are you here?"
Vera looked at Marquis Garcia who was walking towards him, and asked with a puzzled expression.
Marquis Garcia looked at Vera, who looked normal, and the frost on his face finally dissipated. He smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go home."
"Hmm." Vera stepped forward to hold Marquis Garcia's arm, and strode out.
Seeing such a scene, the priests breathed a sigh of relief.
Archbishop Ajani stared into Vera's eyes and observed carefully for a while, but did not see anything unusual.
But she knew that things would definitely not be that simple.
While thinking about it, Vera asked Marquis Garcia: "Uncle, when will Colin arrive in Winter City?"
"According to the marching speed, it is estimated that there are still two or three days."
"OK!"
