"Great Lord, thank you for your grace. May your glory spread to every corner of the world..."
"I will obey your promise until the end of my life..."
The devout believers gathered outside the Sky Tower, shrouded in divine light, knelt down and prayed one after another. They believed that God's eyes had been focused on this. If they prayed devoutly enough, they would definitely get His favor and be able to survive after death. Enter the eternal kingdom of heaven.
The misty chants became louder and louder, and the realm of the Kingdom of God centered on the Sky Tower, spreading to all directions, and soon enveloped the entire Holy City.
On the ground on both sides of the road, wisps of emerald green grass sprouted from the soil, and vines drilled out from the gaps in the bricks and wrapped around the houses and the exquisite sculptures.
Time seemed to be sped up. Under the witness of hundreds of thousands of people, tens of thousands of fruit trees rose up all over the Holy City, gradually growing from a wisp of buds into towering trees tens of meters high, with thick and thick branches. The straight and dense tree crowns cover the sky, green and crystal clear fruits hang on the branches, and the rich fruity fragrance permeates the whole city.
The towering Sky Tower was now entangled with countless vines, as if a huge emerald palace stood in the center of the Holy City. Such a miracle shocked the believers who were participating in the celebration for the first time.
Lucia, who was sitting on the high platform, stopped praying to God. In her green eyes, another more mysterious world appeared before her eyes.
On the kneeling believers below, invisible golden threads appeared in their heads, and the end point of the threads was the huge sky tower behind them...
After the miracle was performed, the number of devout believers increased by approximately 20,000...
After confirming this, Lucia announced that this year's harvest celebration has officially begun, and all the people of God who come to the Holy City can enjoy the delicious food.
During the celebration, this is the kingdom of heaven on earth. There is no distinction between nobles and poor people. Everyone has only one identity, that is, a believer in God.
Tens of thousands of attendants placed pots of roasted potatoes, fried steaks, stewed meat soup and other delicacies on long tables placed in the streets of the Holy City, serving hundreds of thousands of people to enjoy, many of which only nobles are eligible to enjoy on weekdays. Grape wine and fine camel meat...
With the permission of Saint Lucia and the leadership of her attendants, believers who traveled thousands of miles to the Holy City joined today's celebration, picking sweet fruits from the trees, or walking in the Holy City, Feel free to grab and enjoy your food.
There is no crowding or fighting. Even the hungry and gluttonous people will become respectful and polite under the inspiration of divine light.
What's more, there is an unlimited supply of food, and the fruits on the trees will grow again within ten seconds after being picked.
Nande is an ordinary poor man in Nordland, but unlike others, he has the most devout faith in God. After learning that the Holy City will hold a Harvest Day celebration every year, even if Even the most humble poor people and even slaves can enter the holy city and admire the glory of the Lord.
For this dream, Nande spent more than ten years and used the money he saved to redeem himself. With perseverance, he walked thousands of miles and crossed the barriers of the mountains from the border of the empire to the holy city!
Along the way, Nande was attacked by bandits and almost killed by ferocious monsters. It took a full year to reach the foot of the Holy City.
Although this journey was difficult, everything was worth it at this moment. The Sky Tower was more majestic than in his dreams, and the divine light summoned by the benevolent Saint Lucia healed the scars on his body that had begun to fester.
The delicacies filling the streets of the Holy City and the fruit trees growing out of thin air are a scene that only exists in South Germany's fantasy paradise.
Although such a celebration only happens once a year, as long as they are pious enough, they will be able to ascend to the kingdom of heaven after death. Then every day will be a celebration day, and the sufferings they have suffered in this life will be turned into honors. That is after passing the test of God. , they deserve the reward.
In his increasingly firm thoughts, his faith was sublimated. Nande suddenly felt that he was one step closer to God, and the door of heaven seemed to have been opened towards him...
…
At the same time, Saint Lucia, who had returned to the Sky Tower, suddenly turned her head, as if looking through the thick solid wall in front of her to somewhere in the Holy City.
"What's wrong? Your Majesty Lucia?" A cardinal in red clothes beside him asked in confusion.
"Some people have received divine enlightenment, but it's a pity that they missed one step and failed to become a saint." Lucia shook her head and said regretfully.
"I wonder which bishop it is?" the cardinal in red said enviously. He believed that his devotion to God was no worse than anyone else, but he failed to receive divine enlightenment and was judged a saint and became a member of the Holy See. Real high-level.
"No, that's probably just a poor man." Lucia said as she casually picked up the dragon fruit placed on the table in honor of the Moon Goddess, put it to her mouth and took a bite.
Lucia's offending behavior made the cardinal's veins jump on his forehead. At this moment, he didn't bother to ask which poor man was so lucky, and reprimanded him sternly. "Lord Lucia, these precious dragon fruits are tributes to the Lord. No one is allowed to take them. I will tell the Pope about your rudeness later!"
Although saints are very noble within the Holy See, they are rotated every few years. In the eyes of the cardinal, they are just attendants selected by the Holy See to serve the Lord. If they are not up to standard, they can be replaced at any time.
Just defying the gods is enough to deprive him of his identity!
Lucia gnawed on the sweet dragon fruit and said in a vague tone. "This is why you haven't received divine enlightenment, Raven."
Cardinal Raven was furious when he saw that Lucia was unrepentant and even tried to slander the divine revelation. However, before he could reprimand her more severely, the door of the Sky Tower was opened.
It was the Pope and the presiding judge Joshua who walked in...
"His Majesty the Pope, Lord Joshua, just now Lucia stole the tribute from the desk, and she has no intention of repenting..." Raven quickly stepped forward and made a small report to the two of them.
This saint's status was higher than him, and there was nothing he could do except scold her. Only the Pope had the right to punish her.
"I will handle this matter, you go down first!" The Pope nodded, and then waved away Raven, who was still ready to continue speaking.
Lucia watched the cardinal leave angrily and spoke with regret. "He is very pious, but unfortunately he is not very flexible. Even his brain is not very good and he is not qualified."
