C122 The Blessing of the Goddess

Lee Xiang pretended not to hear him. He quickened his pace and walked into the hall of the church.

Indeed, he had been a little anxious just now. This way, Would he be able to tell something from the church? If that was the case, then his motive of wanting to borrow the power of the church to make Ronton pay attention to him would be greatly reduced. That would be meaningless. So, no matter how anxious he was right now, He had to endure it. He had to make this so-called Arch-Cardinal, Lyman, personally come and find him. Then his goal had been achieved.

The reason was very simple. The more he was not in a hurry, the less anxious he was. The people of the Church became more anxious because they did not forget that they still had a yellow person, Holy Maiden, here. If they did not take care of both sides at this time, they would take drugs. Then, the whirlwind that he and Holy Maiden brought might be extinguished in an instant. This was definitely not something they wanted to see. As long as the people from the Church were anxious to find him, then the person who was most anxious would probably be Ronton.

Strictly speaking, Lee Xiang had made a very serious mistake just now, but fortunately, there was still time to remedy it.

After walking into the hall of the church, Lee Xiang walked directly towards Ronton. Arthur, who hurriedly followed after him, shook his head in regret, then helplessly walked in another direction.

"Grandpa. . . " Li Du wanted to walk to Ronton's side, but he first nodded at Shaun. When he called out to Shaun, Ronton waved his hand slightly, forcing him to swallow the words that came out of his mouth.

"Sit down first. The ceremony is about to begin!" Ronton said lightly, without any expression on his face.

Only then did Lee Xiang notice that the Arch-Cardinal Lyman, who had been accompanying Ronton just now, had already returned to his seat.

It seemed like the Arch-Cardinal was in charge of hosting today's ceremony.

He noticed that when Lyman looked at him, he actually threw him a very friendly smile. If someone else threw a peach, he would naturally return the favor. At that moment, he also smiled slightly as a form of greeting. After that, he gently sat beside Shaun.

He secretly glanced at Ronton and saw that there was no expression on Ronton's face. He turned his head to look at Shaun and saw that he was just smiling. At the same time, he casually shook his head, indicating that there was no problem with him absent from the grand prayer ceremony of the rural farm this afternoon. Only then did Lee Xiang feel slightly relieved. He thought to himself. Logically speaking, After all, the Church had broken past customs today. It was a very worrying thing to hold a prayer ceremony in Silo Province, which originally didn't have many believers.

Thinking of this, Lee Xiang finally felt relieved. At the same time, he withdrew his mind and started to concentrate on another matter. He remembered that the first time he passed by this church, he felt that there was a strange force in the church that attracted him. Strictly speaking, it should be summoning him. This feeling was also very real when he was at the door of the church.

But what made him curious was that when he entered the church, this feeling instantly disappeared. It came suddenly and went strangely. It made Lee Xiang, who originally wanted to take advantage of today's opportunity to carefully come in and inquire about it. He had no choice but to give up on this tempting idea. After the series of questions he had before, after going through the Forest of Death and after Sophie confirmed his identity, he only needed a tiny bit of suspicion. It would definitely arouse his interest. Because this might have a lot to do with the person in his dream who called himself the devil. So he had no reason to let go of any clues.

Following a chant unique to the Church. The originally quiet noise within the church instantly disappeared. What replaced it was a terrifying silence. Lee Xiang took a peek. Even Shaun and Ronton's expressions were filled with sincerity and solemnity. Everyone present seemed extremely quiet. It was obvious that the goddess in this world held a lot of weight in their hearts. The only exception was Lee Xiang himself. Of course, there was another person. This person was Sophie. She even took the time to give Lee Xiang a look.

Lee Xiang did not dare to pay special attention to Sophie. Instead, he focused his attention on Lyman. He noticed that there was a table in front of Lyman at this moment. On the table were some grape wine and flatbread.

This discovery shocked him greatly, because he had just observed. . . This so-called prayer ceremony was actually a replica of the "Mass" that he had seen in his previous life. Other than some fixed programs and steps that were slightly different, everything else was shockingly similar.

It was so coincidental that it made one's hair stand on end.

Lyman closed his eyes and placed his right hand on his chest. He gently chanted their unique prayer scriptures, and the last scripture came out of his mouth. Lyman slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes swept around like lightning. Finally, he stopped on Lee Xiang's face. After a short pause. . . Finally, he raised his hand and looked at the sky. His expression was as if the holy and loving goddess was right in front of him. To be honest, At this moment, even Lee Xiang felt dizzy because he suddenly saw a faint glow on Lyman's face. It was so holy that it made people go crazy. He couldn't help but feel mixed emotions. At the same time, he told him that Fraud Tian wasn't something that anyone could do. Without a certain realm, he could at most be considered a human rod.

"Great and loving goddess. . . "

Lyman stretched out his hands and looked up. His eyes showed endless respect and devotion. The people below lowered their heads and began to pray silently.

. . . "Please look at these devout believers. Listen to their thoughts. Purify their souls and bless their destinies. "

A series of praises. Even though Lee Xiang had goosebumps all over his body, he was still full of praise for Lyman's eloquent words. Such a talent was not a fraud. It was simply a waste. He had been full of praise for Arthur before, but now it seemed that Arthur was still a grade lower than the Arch-Cardinal.

When he thought of Arthur, he couldn't help but steal a glance at him. He just happened to notice that Arthur was also looking at him. After their eyes met, Arthur actually smiled and gave him a strange look at the same time. This made Lee Xiang curse in his heart. Logically speaking, Arthur should be more pious than the others. He didn't expect Arthur to have the energy to observe him.

The prayer ceremony was soon over. The next thing to do was to distribute the wine and the flatbread in front of Lyman.

This was also a classic example. It meant that these things had been prayed by Lyman just now. The woman had already come to give her blessings, and everyone only needed to taste the wine and pancakes. Naturally, they would receive the blessing of the goddess. Similarly, the one who gets the most will be the one who gets the most. And the one who received the most blessings would also receive the most. Moreover, the sequence of the rewards was also very particular. Under normal circumstances, it must be strictly distributed according to your status in your country and your contributions to this country and the people. This way, you can show that the Goddess is everywhere.

Of course, this so-called distribution is actually arranged by the person hosting the prayer ceremony.

If nothing unexpected happened, it should be the same as the previous years. There wouldn't be too much of a difference. However, a prince of an empire had come. Lyman was afraid that this would put him in a difficult position. Lee Xiang was almost certain that this was a deliberate arrangement made by Ronton and Shaun. He even suspected that Shaun had come at this time on purpose. The purpose was obviously to make things difficult for Lyman.

Just as Lee Xiang was guessing who among the two got the so-called blessing of the goddess first, Lyman's eyes swept across the area and said slowly, "Invite the prince and the archduke to come up. . . "

Ronton and Shaun were stunned at the same time. They looked at each other and slowly got up and walked towards Lyman.

Lee Xiang shouted in his heart. He had to admit it. This arrangement was indeed the most ideal. One of them was the prince of the empire, and in name, he was half the master of Ronton. The other was the true master of Bael City, a typical crownless king. At least, he was in the Bael City. If Lyman's church wanted to continue staying in the Silo Province, then Ronton must not be offended. But if he offended Shaun. . . This was not a big problem, but it was also small. The key was to see what the person in question was thinking.

Strictly speaking, this arrangement was actually the most reasonable one. From this, it seemed like this Lyman really had some tricks up his sleeve.

After Ronton and Shaun received the blessing of their goddess, the next master of Bael City, Smith, was naturally going to be the next master. Originally, after Smith, it should belong to her daughter, Lena. But it was strange that she didn't come today. This made Lee Xiang very puzzled. Of course, what puzzled him the most was that Holy Maiden from the Holy Church had not appeared until now. It seemed like she would not come out today.

When everyone was guessing who the second person to be blessed by the goddess was today? Lyman's eyes fell on Lee Xiang once again.

"Lee Xiang, Baron. . . " Lyman casually glanced at Ronton, who was looking straight ahead. "My dear child, please come forward and receive the blessing from the goddess herself!"

Everyone was shocked by Lyman's sudden arrangement.

According to the usual practice every year, the first person to receive the blessing after Smith would be Sage Lindman. Or perhaps it would be the other noble families in the Bael City, or those who had made contact with the Silo Province and the empire. Even the second heir of the Duke's Mansion, Miss Lena, was ranked at the back. Not to mention Lee Xiang? It was common knowledge. Whether it was Duke Ronton or Smith, they had both mentioned this to many people in private. This was no longer a secret. Then why did Lyman still do this?

It was fine if he did this. There was another thing that many people didn't understand, because they had clearly heard Lyman's words just now.

Accept the blessing from the goddess herself!

What kind of great honor was this?
