"Want to pray to the Goddess of Dawn?"
"Praise Alona!"
The icy wind was blowing in all directions, and warm steam filled the air next to the Dawn.
There were many people standing on the platform of the church, most of them dressed in luxurious clothes. They seemed to be upper-class believers. Priests in white robes were walking among the crowd, and the sounds of greeting each other could be heard in their ears.
As soon as they got off the car, Ethan blended into the crowd and disappeared. Occasionally, he heard his voice passing by in a daze, and when he turned his head, he couldn't be seen where he was.
Unlike Ethan who was at ease, Jiang Chenchuan, who knew nothing, could only follow the crowd without saying a word, looking like a timid patient with social phobia.
The crowd moved towards the Cathedral of the Dawn, which is a pure white building with a spire and pure white sculptures carved on the front. The Knights of the Dawn are stationed here, giving believers an infinite sense of peace of mind.
Walking all the way inward along the aisle, you can reach the place of today's secret gathering - the prayer hall. Because of the use of energy lamps, the entire church is illuminated as bright as day. The light through the stained glass is as sacred and pure as the bright starry sky. .
As soon as we entered the prayer hall, the noisy chatter was obviously much quieter. People who were familiar with this place had already taken their seats in the front rows, for fear that they would not be able to hear the bishop's sermon.
Jiang Chenchuan, a staunch materialist, only planned to come here to maintain his character of loving Alona, and had no intention of joining the gathering of these fanatical believers. Therefore, he found an inconspicuous seat near the passage and sat down. Keep the skull cane aside to make it easier for you to move around.
Just two seconds after he sat down, a familiar figure sat down next to him.
"Tell me honestly, are you a believer from another church who sneaked in to get information?"
Ethan looked around nervously, then leaned closer and whispered.
"Usually people who say this first mean that they have something evil in their hearts." Jiang Chenchuan looked calm and asked in a low voice, "So, which god do you believe in?"
"Me? I didn't." Ethan hurriedly defended.
He used his only observation ability as a detective, his slightly evasive eyes, his eagerness to argue, his initial confrontation, and his deliberately guiding words.
There is an 80% probability that Jiang Chenchuan's guess is correct.
"Then tell me."
"say what?"
Ethan looked confused.
"Followers of gods never lie."
Ethan chuckled, scratched his head, and whispered back:
"Don't tell anyone else."
"say what?"
"The God of Peace is the truth in the world."
What a mean and peaceful person.
"What about you?" Ethan was full of curiosity about the man in front of him, and his intuition told him that they should be the same type of person.
"Um……"
Jiang Chenchuan thought for a while before replying.
"I don't believe in anyone, I only believe in myself."
As for "I have no control over my destiny" or the ideological education from childhood to adulthood, there is nothing to explain. This group of people should not be able to understand the brilliance of the great Mazhe thought.
"Own?"
Seemingly lost in some thought, Ethan paused for a while before raising his head.
"Ethan Manstein, what about you?"
Ethan stretched out his hand towards Jiang Chenchuan, and Jiang Chenchuan took it naturally, as if they were friends from now on, showing a sincere and friendly smile.
"Evel von Heinrich."
"Good name."
"The same to you."
…
"The gods have not given up on everyone. It is the test and favor of the goddess. As long as you survive the darkness, you can wait for the dawn!"
Amidst a burst of applause, Father Louis slowly appeared on the stage. He stood on the podium and spoke in a low and gentle voice the truth spread by Dawn Church. His face was covered by the hood of his white robe, and his expression could not be seen clearly. Cleanse your soul in the gentle voice.
Everyone present fell silent, put down what they were doing, closed their eyes tightly, clenched their left hand into a fist, placed it on their lowered foreheads, and prayed slowly along with the priest's words.
Even Ethan does this.
If it hadn't been confirmed just now, Jiang Chenchuan would have really thought that he was a sincere Dawn cultist.
But……
Listening to the words of the priest on the stage, Jiang Chenchuan always felt that something was not right. It was probably the intuition of his previous career, the feeling of being watched by darkness, like a light on his back.
But Jiang Chenchuan knew in his heart that the church was a holy place, and when the cathedrals of the four major churches were established, the museums provided certain support. Under each cathedral, serial number one relics were stored to protect them. A place of belief in gods.
If it were those eyes, they couldn't do anything to the current Jiang Chenchuan, and that kind of terrifying illusion couldn't unfold here.
So, what exactly is it?
Jiang Chenchuan quietly opened his eyes and looked around secretly. The believers around him were very devout and did not dare to slack off in the slightest in the face of the priest's teachings.
Who could that be?
Ethan?
wrong.
He looked serious about doing the whole thing.
White knights standing guard on both sides?
wrong.
They had been standing like that, not even moving for so long.
And the feeling that it just appeared means that the person is new, then there is only...
Jiang Chenchuan slowly raised his head and looked at the priest who was giving a speech on the stage. Although he couldn't see his face clearly, at that moment, he could clearly feel that he and the priest...
Their eyes met.
But the priest's sermon continued without even a pause. Jiang Chenchuan watched silently for a while. He felt that the priest under the shadow of the hood had looked away. Only then did he lower his head again and listen sincerely like every believer. The words of Fr.
This went on until the end of the speech.
The bishop opened the side door of the prayer hall, and then came the time for more private conversations. People who came here had their own secrets and purposes.
Everyone stood up and left in an orderly manner. As soon as Jiang Chenchuan picked up the skull cane and wanted to leave, he saw a white figure approaching him.
"Want to pray to the Goddess of Dawn?"
It was Father Louis who had been speaking on the stage just now.
Still hesitating whether to accept the priest’s invitation, Ethan said excitedly next to him:
"It's Father Lewis! Oh my god! That's a celebrity from Dawn Church. If nothing happens, he will become the next bishop of Dawn Church."
"May Elona bless you."
Father Louis seemed to enjoy Ethan's compliment.
After saying hello, he tilted his head slightly, waiting for Jiang Chenchuan's reply. The feeling of being watched appeared again, which he could only encounter when he was on a mission.
How unpleasant.
"Pray to Fr."
Since he couldn't escape, he accepted it openly. Under Ethan's envious eyes, Jiang Chenchuan followed Father Louis and left the prayer hall.
