Michael's clothes were a bit weird, but he took the carriage of Yeliuyuan, and when he arrived at the church, Will led him to the back.

The officiant this time is Yeliuyuan, but the diocesan Bishop Foster, Auxiliary Bishop Felton and some priests will also participate.

The church was full of believers of all kinds, including nobles and commoners. In this era, only at this moment can people be called a little bit equal.

Before God, all people have only the same identity—the Lord's believer.

Amidst the chant of entering the hall, Ye Liuyuan stood on the altar as the officiant. *

"In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit." Ye Liuyuan chanted loudly.

"In the name of the Lord." The believer followed Ye Liuyuan's voice and said loudly.

Ye Liuyuan: "May the love of the Father, the grace of the Lord, and the gift of the Holy Spirit be with you."

Believers: "With your soul too."

Ye Liuyuan: "Lord, you are ordered to save those who repent: please have mercy."

Believers: "Please have mercy."

Ye Liuyuan: "Lord, you have come to summon sinners: please have mercy."

Believers: "Please have mercy."

Ye Liuyuan: "May the Almighty God have mercy on us, forgive our sins, and grant us eternal life."

This is a prayer ceremony that has been passed down for nearly a thousand years. Repent before God, pray for mercy and forgiveness, but what is sin?Is anyone really born sinful?

Michel stood in the shadows, behind the crowd, looking at the figure with golden soft curly hair, who was wearing the priest's robe and confessed and prayed.

He lowered his head and looked at his pale, bloodless hands.

Ye Liuyuan completed the first half as the officiant, and Felton gave a lecture in the middle. After accepting the memory of the original owner, Ye Liuyuan could almost recite the scriptures.

"The above is the Lord's hadith." After Felton finished speaking, it was Yeliuyuan's turn to preside over it and offer sacrifices.

Sacrifice is to use bread and wine as the body and blood of the Lord. After everyone eats it, they will receive the blessing of the Lord and be with the Lord.

Before receiving the Eucharist, Ye Liuyuan said:

"Lord, you are truly holy, you are the source of all holiness. Therefore, we beseech you to send the Holy Spirit, sanctify these gifts, and make them the body and blood of our Lord."

"When he was willing to die, he took the bread, gave thanks, divided it, and gave it to his disciples, saying:

'Eat it, all of you: this is my body, which will be sacrificed for you. '

After dinner, he also took the cup, thanked him again, gave it to his disciples and said:

' Take it, all of you, and drink: this cup is my blood, the blood of the new and everlasting covenant, which will be poured out for you and all for the forgiveness of sins.Do this in memory of me. '"

The believers said in unison: "Lord, we proclaim your holy death, we sing of your resurrection, and we look forward to your glorious coming."

After receiving the Eucharist, Ye Liuyuan said: "Look, the Lamb of God; look, the one who takes away the sins of the world. Blessed are those who are called to the holy feast."

"May the Lord be with you."

Believers sang: "With your spirit too"

"May the Lord bless us."

This is the end of the blessing ceremony. After Ye Liuyuan finished, he went straight to the back, but was stopped by a man standing at the front among the believers.

"Bishop Enoch, the new Earl of Aaron, right?" the man asked.

"Yes, do you have any advice?"

The man had a pair of sky-blue eyes, as clean and penetrating as the sky, and as deep and turbulent as the deep sea.

"Your Excellency may have forgotten me. I am Palmer, Palmer Rodney."

The man who called himself Palmer looked at Ye Liuyuan with a smile, but didn't intend to continue.

Ye Liuyuan lowered her face, turned around and went straight to where Mier was.Although Mier was packed tightly, Ye Liuyuan was still worried. This is a church, and if Mier was exposed in front of so many believers, even Ye Liuyuan would not be able to save him.

Fortunately, Michael has been quietly standing in the corner with Will.

"Master." Will said respectfully.

Ye Liuyuan looked at Mier who was wrapped into a small ball, patted his head, and said, "I left you a present."

"Let's go, get in the carriage." Ye Liuyuan raised her head and said to Will.

On the carriage going back, Ye Liuyuan turned her head and saw the tightly wrapped Mier looking at him with burning eyes.

Ye Liuyuan knew without thinking that Mier wanted the gift he was talking about, Ye Liuyuan reached out and took off his hood, and said, "Don't look, open your mouth."

Michel opened his mouth obediently, and a small piece was stuffed into his mouth the next moment.

It was specially reserved for him by Ye Liuyuan, a small piece of bread stained with wine.

"This is my body and my blood, take it and enjoy it." Ye Liuyuan said.

But Mier suddenly froze, and looked up at Yeliuyuan.

"Blessed are those who enjoy all of these, and those who receive them will be free from all evils and disasters. I will become one with you, and I will be with you." Ye Liuyuan touched her chest with one hand and said in a low voice.

Michael froze completely in place, choking on the wine-smelling bread in his throat.In a daze, a strong smell of blood spread, as if what he was holding in his mouth was not bread, but the flesh and blood of Ye Liuyuan.

After Ye Liuyuan finished reading the prayer, seeing Mie Er froze in place, she smiled and said, "It's the bread and wine for today's prayer, and everyone present will receive it. You didn't come forward, so I secretly gave it to you." Keep one."

"Anyway, I'm today's officiant. Even if I'm not at the ceremony, it's the same in private." Ye Liuyuan said: "Miell, everything is over, and you will live with me in the future, just like everyone else. A person who has received the Eucharist and the Holy Blood, and is with God."

If Ye Liuyuan did this, people would probably think he was crazy, but Ye Liuyuan was not a pure believer like the original owner, he just felt that everyone present would accept it, and if Mieur was present, then his children would too. have.

Anyway, this kind of ceremony is just for peace of mind, hoping that it will make Mieer abandon the past and feel more at ease.

Mier looked at Ye Liuyuan, his gaze made Ye Liuyuan feel a little uncomfortable.Michel didn't say anything, just swallowed the small piece of bread, like a greedy devil who devoured the flesh.

The following days passed day by day, and after the blessing ceremony, the long winter will usher in.

Allen County is near the sea, and the winter is cold and humid, but not too cold.The fire in the indoor fireplace was burning, and sparks splashed out from time to time.

Compared with the fireplace, Ye Liuyuan had actually thought of making a kang out of it.After all, in this era, heating methods are limited, and the kang is really warm and clean.

But it is not a matter of a day or two to change the buildings in the castle. This winter, Yeliuyuan uses the fireplace to make a living.If you can't find the holy relics and stay too long, Yeliuyuan will still consider building a floor to warm the kang.

In winter, the cold outside made Yeliuyuan completely lose interest in going out, and the social gatherings and banquets of the nobles were also very sparse. Everyone huddled in the warm home and was too lazy to go out.

Ye Liuyuan usually went to the study to continue reading those books when she was bored.As a writer, he also has some habit of reading and collecting materials.Different eras, different religions, and different cultures all made him very eager to understand.

Ye Liuyuan was flipping through a religious book, and Mier sat beside him and looked at him with burning eyes.

After reading the book for a while, Ye Liuyuan couldn't take it anymore, sighed, picked up another book on the table and handed it to Mier, and said, "I've been staring at me for whatever reason, and read the book too."

Michel took the book, pursed his lower lip, and said, "I don't understand."

Ye Liuyuan was stunned for a moment before realizing that Mier could not read.

That's right, literacy is not an easy task in this era.Michael grew up in an orphanage and was abused because of his albinism. No one taught him to be illiterate.

Well, he has nothing to do anyway, Ye Liuyuan said: "Sit here, I'll teach you."

From then on, in addition to reading books, dealing with things on the territory, and taking care of the property in winter, Yeliu Garden has another daily pastime, which is to teach Michael how to read.

Michael was a good student, learning at a frighteningly fast pace.Ye Liuyuan originally thought that she would have to teach him how to read and write for a whole winter.In fact, it took Miell less than half a month to reach the level where he could read.It took him more than a month to learn to write, and some simple mathematics knowledge taught by Ye Liuyuan.

Ye Liuyuan was shocked. It took Mier just over a month to go from being illiterate to being able to read and write fluently. This is simply a genius among geniuses.

However, Ye Liuyuan didn't know that Mier had nothing else to do in the castle.He started practicing every day when he opened his eyes, desperately memorizing and reviewing what Ye Liuyuan gave him, and then began to look forward to today's study.

Mier knew how precious everything Ye Liuyuan taught him was, but for him, the time spent with Ye Liuyuan every day was even more precious.

Studying, reviewing, and practicing, for more than a month, Miell did nothing else, only repeating the three processes.The boring, boring, and hard work are nothing to him.

Michael is a genius, his ability to accept knowledge is far superior to that of his peers, coupled with reviewing and practicing day and night, it is possible to have such an achievement that even Ye Liuyuan can't help but marvel at.

Being looked at by Yeliuyuan with admiration and admiration, Mier almost became obsessed with this feeling.

The life of more than a month is like a dream to him, the soft and warm bed, sufficient food, warm house and Ye Liuyuan holding his hand to teach him to write, everything is like a dream Same.

Michael wouldn't have thought much of it if he hadn't had it.But once he has it, he absolutely cannot lose it.

After confirming that Michael's study progress was beyond normal, Ye Liuyuan let him read by himself.He can read the books in the study as he pleases, since most of them are about religion anyway.

Yeliuyuan, on the other hand, was having a headache about things in the territory. After winter, the sea conditions were not suitable for sailing. The fleet docked at the port and began routine maintenance and overhaul.

The author has something to say:

*All ceremonies and prayers in this article are adapted from the Christian Mass.

The religion in the article has been dealt with as vaguely as possible, and a large number of private settings and magic reforms of the author have been added to it. It does not correspond to reality and has no research value. ORZ.

I just found out today that Bishop Felton made a mistake in the input and became a fat and short bishop, hhhhhh!

Michel will grow up soon. This story is actually very important, but the writing is not very satisfying, alas.
