Templar Sun King

Chapter 259 Worship
Four days later in the early morning, when the rising sun shone on the Sun Cross at the top of the church and refracted colorful rays of light, there were already many people waiting for the upcoming service in the square outside the church.

This is an activity that quickly became popular after the church appeared in Griffin City. At the beginning, the first batch of believers of the Sun God in Griffin City participated in the worship. Most of them were adventurers and civilians who had received treatment from Yaoling and priests. And under the inspiration of priests, he became a follower of the Sun God.

Invited by the priest of the church, they put down their work and come to the church on the last day of the week, pray with the priest, read the Bible, listen to the priest explain the scriptures, recite hymns, and sing hymns together.After returning from the church, those who participated in the first service said that it was very meaningful, and they were baptized in the holy light from body to soul.

When the army from the noble council first confronted the Principality of Griffin, more than 200 people came to worship in the church.Later, although the service was temporarily suspended due to the beginning of the war and the tense situation, because the priests who presided over the ceremony went to the battlefield, the number of people who wanted to enter the church to attend the service not only did not decrease, but increased.

It wasn't until Isabella's five ice storms forcibly drove the noble council army away, and the Griffin Principality and the noble council entered the stage of confrontation, that Zhou gradually recovered.At this time, those who had attended the church before were surprised to find that there was no extra space for them to worship in the church, because there were too many people crowded in the church, including civilians, adventurers, businessmen, and even Some sheriffs on duty and other officials of the Griffon Duchy.

"Although it may be disrespectful to say so, the Church of the Sun God is really small. I think we should do something." A businessman-like believer on the square said to his partner.His partner is also a businessman, a businessman who came from afar from Goldberg.

"That's right. I have already complained to the construction officer of Griffin City. Not only must the sun god's first church on the ground be built magnificently, but the other six cities of the Griffin Principality also need churches!" Gao said. The Ten Burgh businessman waved his big hand.

God knows that in order to prove his piety, he has not gone back to Goldberg for nearly a month, and even the affairs of the chamber of commerce are left to his confidants to take care of.His words successfully attracted the attention of other people in the square.

"That's right, why didn't I think that I could go to the construction officer to complain."

Others suddenly realized that although the church is the property of the gods in the secular world, it is obviously within the scope of the construction officer's responsibility to expand the church.

People from the other six cities couldn’t agree more with the words of Goldberg Merchant. The appearance of the church has filled the gap in Griffon City’s medical system. That is the gift of the sun god.

The only horror that displeases them is the fact that there is only one church in the entire Gryphon Duchy.One church, God, how is one church enough?Although caring believers found that the number of ball-shaped creatures floating and playing in the church garden and fountain recently reached a full 98, there is absolutely no problem in treatment, but there are too many people who hope to worship with priests in the church. too much.

Although a priest once told everyone during a service that there is no essential difference between worshiping at home and worshiping in church, as long as you abide by the Ten Commandments, you are a qualified Sun God believer, but it was of no use.On the last day of the week, the square outside the church is always full of people, just like now.

What's worse is that whether it's Patriarch Simon - the respectful title for priests who have reached the golden rank in the Church of the Sun God, which is equivalent to the archbishop in other churches - or the other silver priests in the church, they don't seem to be in a hurry at all. The idea of ​​expanding and building churches in other cities was lukewarm.

"Maybe it has something to do with the recent situation?" A one-armed adventurer thought for a while and said, "Silver Tower has another golden archmage after Moore came to the noble council. It is estimated that the reinforcements of the Church of Dawn will soon be there Will come to Celtic."

Since their Grand Duchess Isabella used five ice storms to force the army of the noble council back to the fortress of Newlanden, a situation of confrontation between the north and the south was formed. The next month was uneventful, but everyone knew that it was a storm. before the calm.Sure enough, not long after, Stephen, the second golden mage of the Silver Tower, came to the Southern Noble Council.

"But now we have a total of five gold professionals!" A child stretched out a palm, counting his fingers, "Grand Duchess Isabella, Gold Sword Master Andrew, Patriarch Simon, Wes Mrs. Puer, and Mr. Phoenix, the phoenix."

On the day when Vesper and the phoenix Phoenix came to Griffin City, people who didn't know the truth thought they were attacked by gold professionals again. Later, when Simon announced that the two gold professionals were from Griffin City, they didn't know much. People jump up excitedly.Since Leavitt became the Gold Juggernaut, Celtic, no, it should be said that the Principality of Griffin has ushered in the spring of gold professionals.

Although they later learned that Mrs. Vesper came to Griffin City because of the relationship between the Grand Duchess Isabella, but as Isabella's teacher, she sent the golden archmage of the flame faction and her magic pet to live together. Birds are naturally included in the combat power of the Griffin Principality, which is not too much.

"It's true to say that, but it's a pity that the Grand Duke, the Grand Duchess, and Lord Andrew seem to have gone out for extremely important matters and haven't returned yet. Otherwise, the five gold fighters can take down the noble council in one fell swoop." The current situation is that the Griffin The Principality has Simon, Vesper, and Phoenix, and the Council of Nobles has Gavin, Stephen, and Moore. If there is a battle, the outcome is unpredictable.

"Of course the noble council does not dare to launch an attack at will. I heard that their southeast sea area was attacked by sea monsters some time ago. The sea water was churning. Tsk tsk tsk. The entire coastal area has been under heavy rainfall for a whole month." A thief dressed The adventurer said mysteriously, but was ridiculed and distrusted by a group of people.

He was anxious to prove that his news was accurate, but no one was willing to continue to listen to his explanation, because at this time they found that the church was finally opened.

Today's church is different than usual!These devout believers noticed the change the moment they entered the church.

There is a pool with a diameter of about two meters in the front hall of the church. There is a holy grail in the pool. A steady stream of clear water gushes out of the holy grail and falls into the pool bit by bit.How rare, are the priests of the church finally planning to repair and expand the church? This is their first reaction.

The sharp-eyed believers found that the clear water gushing out of the Holy Grail seemed to be different from the water they usually saw. It was clearer, softer, and of course more agile.Every drop of water makes a crisp and pleasant sound when it falls from the Holy Grail. Even if you stand here and listen to the sound of water dripping all day long, you won't be bored.

"This is the holy pool that Mrs. Teresa just set up yesterday. There is holy water in the pool. Everyone can receive a small bottle of holy water after the service." The priest explained this when he saw the surprise and confusion on their faces.

Who is Teresa?This is probably everyone's doubts.

After a few months, they have become quite familiar with the church personnel. Patriarch Simon usually runs between the church and the city lord's mansion (Adam's residence), and the twelve priests in the church are often responsible for presiding over worship and healing.Now this priest with the strength of the silver rank said that this holy pool was arranged by a person named Teresa, and he used an honorific title!

Many people's heart rate accelerated and their panting became heavier.Is that so?Do they think the same?

The doubts were quickly resolved, because when they entered the atrium, Simon, a kind and kind old woman and fourteen priests were already sitting there.

The tall wand in the old woman's hand was the same as Simon's, and the obvious sun cross on the robe reminded everyone that she was a priest of the Church of the Sun God, and it was very likely that she was a gold professional of the same level as Simon!
When the crowd found their place, Teresa stood up from her seat, and an old but powerful voice echoed in the middle hall: "Theresa, confessor and patriarch of the church. It is an honor to be here for the first time. I can see so many sisters and brothers bathed in the Holy Light, thank you Simon and everyone for your hard work. If everyone here recognizes and abides by the Ten Commandments, we will share weal and woe with the Holy Church in the years to come.”

The crowd immediately understood the meaning of the church. This is the official name of the Church of the Sun God, just like the faction of the Lord of Dawn in Uppler is called the Church of Dawn.

They quickly accepted this information and put it in their brains, and then cheered softly for the church to welcome the second patriarch after Simon.When the Goldberg businessman cheered, he almost smiled when he saw the muscles on the face of the serious and staid Patriarch Simon loosen, but in the end he chose to nod slightly.

Teresa stretched out her left hand and pressed down: "I will preside over today's worship, but before that..." She looked at the one-armed adventurer in the crowd, "Get ready to grow a new arm ?"

What?Not only the adventurer who lost his left arm, but also the other worshipers almost shouted in surprise.In their impression, the healing spells of the Holy Church are very superb, and often a ray of holy light can heal wounds and diseases, but would it be too exaggerated to grow a broken arm?

God, there was a sound of gasping in the middle hall.

"Yes... yes, my lord!" the one-armed adventurer replied excitedly.He lost his left arm in a battle, and it has been a full ten years. Now the patriarch of the church told him that he could grow his arm again. The happiness came so suddenly!
A halo appeared on the adventurer's head, and a holy light fell on the adventurer.He felt a pain in the broken arm, and then under the effect of the holy light, the bones, muscles, and blood vessels grew rapidly. Even the severe pain caused by this could not stop him from crying tears of excitement and happiness.After about 2 minutes, the holy light covering the adventurer dissipated, and a smooth and white left arm reappeared on him.

"God of the Sun!" The adventurer raised his left arm and prayed devoutly.

Regeneration of divine power, high-level healing spells of the temple, rebirth of severed limbs.
