It's a joke to describe this spice as being more expensive than gold.
The officiant needs at least 1 ounce of frankincense to burn during a mass ceremony!
In other words, to hold such a mass ceremony, the spices alone will cost 300 gold coins!
This is the ultimate luxury.
But it seems that the gods of this plane like this spice very much.
During mass ceremonies, the probability of receiving divine revelation is more than three times higher when frankincense is burned than when frankincense is not burned.
Of course, due to the mystery of the gods, even if the frankincense is burned again and again, the number of divine revelations the officiant has received from the time he became the officiant to the present is only once.
Less than seven percent.
And the benefits brought by that divine revelation were relatively small. The officiant only increased his life span by 5 years.
But even so, due to the various benefits that divine inspiration may bring, the chief priests in major churches are always happy to hold mass ceremonies.
Of course, due to the high cost of holding Mass ceremonies, even in some large churches, they cannot be held several times a year.
The main reason why the chief priest of Carbon City Church held the mass ceremony this time was to help Earl Wilson extend his life.
No way, Earl Wilson is too old. He turned seventy last year.
Although Earl Wilson himself is a great knight, this stage of strength as a great knight cannot extend his lifespan.
The most critical thing is that Earl Wilson has no one on his knees. Earl Wilson seems to be cursed. He gave birth to a total of seven sons in his life, but most of these sons died in infancy.
His youngest son was racing with someone five years ago. His horse stumbled and fell to death on the spot. Even the officiating priest rushed over and was unable to save him.
Under such circumstances, Earl Wilson had to consider some issues.
Many people in the earl family suggested that the earl adopt a child from a side branch as an adopted son so that he could easily inherit the earl title in the future. After all, there was a close blood relationship.
But Earl Wilson didn't think so. He didn't want to hand over the position of earl to the side branch at all.
Neither he nor his father or even his grandfather had this habit. It took a lot of effort to firmly control the position of earl in their hands. If he handed it over like this, how could he be worthy of his father and his grandfather.
So he came up with the idea of asking the officiant to hold a mass ceremony to extend his life.
As long as he lives longer, he can have several more sons.
He was prepared. As long as his life extension was successful, several barons and ladies from the viscount family were waiting for him to go on a date.
Well, at this point, he doesn't mind having more illegitimate children.
In a place like Snow Forest Country, the attitude towards illegitimate children is still kinder than that of some countries in the south.
After all, the land is in the north and the population is sparse. Even widows can marry twice and thirdly, and it is not difficult for an illegitimate child to inherit the earlship.
As for the cost of the mass of 500 gold coins, it is considered a small matter for a count who is extremely wealthy.
Count Wilson, who was old but extremely muscular, knelt in front of the altar and prayed devoutly to Leng Deyaos, the god of the snowfield.
Grand choirs on both sides sang loudly.
"The great god of the snowfield, the protector of the Green Forest Kingdom, the protector of the tree people, you walk on the snowfield..."
While the onlookers were watching the believers singing along devoutly, suddenly a golden beam of light came from an unknown place and hit the officiant.
The golden light at the edge also enveloped Earl Wilson. Gu Hao
"Praise the great God of Snow!"
The appearance of the miracle immediately made the believers excited. They lay on the ground and prayed towards the golden light pillar.
Golden snowflakes appeared and fell around the golden light pillar. All believers who came into contact with these golden snowflakes felt refreshed, and all their usual minor problems disappeared. Even if they had any serious illnesses, they became much more relaxed at this time.
This feeling immediately made them become more pious.
At this time, Earl Wilson was completely in ecstasy. He could feel that the aging in his body was disappearing. Waves of heat penetrated his body from the golden light, making him appear alive. He was becoming younger. .
"Praise the great God of Snow!"
At this time, Earl Wilson seemed more pious than before.
Under the illumination of the miracle, even the less devout believers became much more devout.
The miracle did not last too long. In less than half a minute, the golden beam of light dissipated. Earl Wilson had just restrained his previous enthusiasm and looked towards the officiant, wanting to say something.
But at this time, instead of showing any joy on the face of the officiating master, he showed a bit of panic. He shouted hysterically: "God said that a big enemy is coming!"
For a moment, Earl Wilson was dumbfounded. The enemy was coming? Are you kidding?
At this time, shouldn’t everyone happily celebrate the successful mass ceremony?
To celebrate the Earl’s longevity of more than ten years?
"My lord, now is the time to prove your devotion to our Lord."
When the officiant said this, Earl Wilson was a little panicked.
But once the officiant explains the matter, Earl Wilson will hold the mass ceremony.
It turned out that among the previous miracles, the officiant received the oracle for the first time.
The oracle used to be the power of the High Priest and His Majesty the Emperor.
In the entire Xueyuan Church, only the church leaders above the archpriest can receive the oracle during the mass ceremony.
The oracle is very vague, but just by receiving the oracle from the chief priest, you can take stock of the enemy that the god said is approaching Carbon City!
Because if this were not the case, there would be no way to explain it at all.
God’s great enemy? !
Earl Wilson felt that his shoulders simply could not bear such a heavy burden.
But the problem is that at this time, he can't leave even if he wants to.
Not to mention that Carbon City is his home base, just because he heard the oracle relayed by the chief priest, if he escapes, he will automatically become a traitor! Although the officiant had many interests involved with him before, when it comes to such a big matter, no matter how good the relationship is, it is useless.
In short, Earl Wilson could only leave the church with a gloomy face and went to the army station to gather troops.
At this time, the officiant also began to summon the church knights, preparing to fight against the enemy of God.
Of course, compared to the worries of the officiant, the knights of the Church Knights were all in high spirits.
After all, they haven't fought in a long time.
Like the knights of the nobles, they also need military exploits in order to receive better treatment.
Unlike the noble knights, they do not have territorial canonization, which makes them more eager for war, because only in this way can they obtain benefits.
