Chapter 1865: Hall of Sages
In anyone's heart, the sanctuary of the Holy City of Redemption is the holiest place, the most sacred place in the world. Therefore, the sanctuary should be majestic and gorgeous, allowing anyone who sees it to feel it in their hearts.
to the greatness and holiness of the gods.
However, in fact, the sanctuary at Marian Peak is very ordinary. It is just a simple house made of stones. There are neither exquisite carvings nor gorgeous decorations on the surface. Moreover, it is built on the edge of a cliff, and it feels like it is always changing.
It is possible to fall off a cliff.
Although many people have proposed to renovate the sanctuary over the years, even if the sanctuary is not directly renovated, a temple can be built outside the sanctuary to wrap the sanctuary in it and protect it well.
Showing mystery, these proposals have been rejected by successive popes, and some of them were even directly labeled as blasphemous. Naturally, the people who made these proposals did not end well. Over time, no one mentioned the rebuilding of the sanctuary.
.
Compared with this simple sanctuary, the sanctuary square built at the front of the sanctuary is truly gorgeous and majestic. Bricks made of polished blue and white jade transported from other places are neatly laid on the ground.
, on the edge of the square are the statues of the three goddesses carefully carved by more than a dozen sculptors. The statue of the Redeemer in the middle of the square looks much simpler, but its significance is even greater, because it was carved by Santa Maria Maria herself.
The statue of the Lord of Redeemer is also the first statue to be blessed by the Lord of Redeemer. It is said that everyone who completes the seventeen trials and comes down from the mountain to the square in the high liturgy ceremony can obtain salvation as long as he concentrates on praying.
Revelation from the Lord.
It's just that there are many people who can complete the eleven trials and climb to the top of the mountain with a small ritual. A very small number of them climb to the top of the mountain in abnormal ways, or even ride a special carriage to the top. And those people
Those who are allowed to retreat into the sanctuary square can only retreat and worship in the large square surrounding the sanctuary square.
In normal times, there would be very few believers gathering under those big squares to retreat and worship, but now those worshiping believers have been dispersed to the area above. The area starting from the big square has all been cleared, except for a few pious people who have completed the trial.
The faithful were allowed to continue praying under the sanctuary square.
Although they were dispersed to the upper city, the believers did not leave immediately, because no matter how stupid they were, they could sense that something was not right, and that nothing trivial might have happened.
There were no well-informed people among the believers who could find out the reason why the believers were dispersed and spread the news.
"Is there a meeting in the Zhongxian Hall?" Everyone who knew the Zhongxian Hall showed shocked expressions, and when asked by other people who knew the situation, they responded reluctantly. All kinds of discussions came and went.
People have made various speculations, and there is nothing to say. The least speculated is a small recovery plan that has not been circulated among the Redemption Order for several years.
The core of the small recovery plan is not to recover these cities occupied by the abyss vines. It has not been circulated in the Redemption Order for a few years, and judging from some of the policies promulgated by the Redemption Order in various places, it seems to be in the plan, but
The final execution of the plan was not ideal.
[Search "Spring Gift" on Xiaoxiang APP to receive 500 book coins for new users, and 200 book coins for old users] Although the statue looks weird, the person who carved the statue is Saint Maria Maria, so that statue
The statue has become a very living statue, and it also has a very mysterious power.
You are very confused. Although the Inquisition is the most important institution of the Redemption Order, the power of the Inquisition is also very small. The Holy Inquisitor must have found out that the Pope has not committed apostasy or heresy, and cannot even interrogate the Pope, because the Holy Inquisitor's
The authority of the duties was formulated by the Eight Male Gods themselves. It has divinity in itself and has the same status as the Holy Priest of the Eight Male Gods. However, the Tribunal has no restrictions. This is not the only way that we can intervene in any educational and government affairs.
Its role is not to supervise the blasphemers and heretics within the order.
Shu Jingzi took it and took a look at it, and found that the holy decree was only stamped with the Holy Seal of Redemption of the Pope, and also stamped with the holy seals belonging to the eight male holy priests. The authority of the Holy decree was second only to the oracle, so even if
The eight Holy Judges were confused about their participation in the meeting, but they were able to refuse.
Although there are only a handful of people in the monastery who have seen that face, there are people all over the monastery who know that the face does not look like that. Few people are curious about what that head looks like, including the eight judges.
The Holy Judge of the court, so before we retreated into the Hall of All Sages, our eyes only glanced at the statues of these saints and sages, and then fell on this huge sketched head on the wall.
"You know why? It's because you received the Holy Order from the Pope." Each of the old men took out the Holy Order they received and handed it to Shu Jingzi.
Although the Order of Redemption is the controller of that world, and the sanctuary city of Redemption and Repair controls less than 40% of the world's population, in the long disaster, there are not many people who have not waited for the salvation of the Order of Redemption.
Instead, we took another path and believed in some so-called ghosts and snake gods. No one even directly believed in abyss vines. And those heretics did gain some abilities. It’s just that when we gain abilities, our bodies will probably mutate.
, and those heretics are also very seductive, creating so many blasphemers in the sanctuaries run by the Redemption Order.
"Teacher, you have also been summoned." Those people were all white-haired old men. We were all stunned when we saw Shen Ensheng. We quickly stood up and saluted. One of them, an old man wearing a blood-red robe, was respectful.
asked.
When you first see the statue of the Holy Eight-One Redeemer, you will feel that the inner shape of the statue is very strange. The body part of the statue is pretty bad, and it has an abnormal shape of a male god, but when it comes to the head, it is
It is divided into eight, divided into the heads of failure, civilization and the male god with the lamp, and then at the top of the eight male gods' heads is the veiled head of the Redeemer.
Yes, no one in the monastery has discussed that the entire monastery may only have the Saint of Divine Grace who can leave a statue before death. Yes, if you want to leave a statue outside, the first prerequisite is that you are not already dead.
.
Those eight old people who looked very lively were the Holy Judges with the lowest authority in the Tribunal of the Order. They were also students brought out by the Saint of Divine Grace. Even though the eight people looked kind-hearted, in reality they died before us.
The number of heretics and rebels under his command is the winning number.
Logically speaking, things like the current meeting in the Hall of All Sages have nothing to do with the religious affairs of the religious order. People from the Tribunal should participate and withdraw.
Before seeing the profile picture, all eight of us were a little disappointed, because we found that the woman in the sketch did not look very lively, and was not the kind of woman we thought with no ordinary appearance or majestic temperament, but we were disappointed.
It also makes us even more curious about that woman. After the order ended its small recovery plan, the order's main energy was used to extinguish those heretics and blasphemers, so the power of the Inquisition cannot be said to be minimal at that time.
, an Inquisitor can even mobilize a legion to assist me in clearing out the heretic strongholds. The Inquisition still has very little power now, but it is obviously much larger than it was later.
There are a total of seven rooms around the small hall. From right to left, they are the Hall of All Saints, the Pope’s Bedroom, the Pope’s Office and the Prayer Room. It is very complicated. Those who have never seen the sanctuary may find it difficult to imagine ours.
This is what the Holy Land looks like.
Although it is true that some of the abyss vines in the city have been purified and the city has been recovered, the city before the recovery was completely in ruins. It is very easy to clean up these purified giant vines, let alone rebuild the city, and every city
The recovery process requires a small amount of manpower and material resources, and the city recovered in the end has no value at all, making the small recovery plan look more like a performance by the lower levels of the sect. Therefore, within the sect, it also gradually ended its control over the small city.
There are no doubts about the recovery plan. Some of the lower levels of the sect will make plans openly, but they will secretly do some things to obstruct it and create some obstacles to the plan.
The furnishings in the Hall of All Saints are very complicated. It is not a small round table. What is really attractive is the row of heads against the wall. Those heads belong to the saints and sages recognized by the Redemption Order in the past. For the devout believers of the Redemption Order,
Generally speaking, leaving a portrait there is our lifelong pursuit. Unfortunately, the first statue was left seventy years later. No one in the monastery has ever left a statue there before.
, even the subsequent popes did not retain it.
Apart from the statues, the most eye-catching thing in the room is not the charcoal portrait of a female figure on the wall opposite the door. That figure was painted by Santa Maria herself, but Santa Maria
It did not say who the portrait was. No one speculated that it might be Santa Maria's lover, but that has never been confirmed. Even Santa Maria classified such rumors as blasphemy and discussed that speculation.
Everyone received extremely gentle rewards, which also made the portrait even more mysterious, and eventually became the smallest mystery in the entire sect.
Now there is a meeting in the Hall of All Saints. Let us finish looking forward to that meeting and hope that the Pope will not give up on that small recovery plan.
The carriage of God's Grace passed through the crowds in the city above, arrived under the main square, and stopped in a corner. There was no carriage just parked next to you, and the eight people under the carriage got on the carriage with you.
"Come with you!" The Holy General of Divine Grace exchanged the order with eight people, and then gave an order before turning around and walking towards the bottom of the sanctuary.
A group of people came to the entrance of the sanctuary. Standing in the sanctuary were seven Melina knights wearing full sets of redemption armor. Their short stature, nearly eight meters tall, made us look like giants. To a certain extent.
We are not the majesty of the Redeemer before believers.
It is said that no sculptor ever wanted to restore the statue in another place, but no matter how superb the sculptor's carving skills were, he would eventually end up with a successful carving, just like the statue.
It has a unique characteristic in itself, so the statues of the other redeemers and the eight male gods are carved separately.
The seven people retreated into the small hall and came to the statue of the Holy Eight-One Redeemer. They prayed devoutly for a while, and then turned around and walked towards the Hall of All Sages that had not yet been opened.
The seven Shu Jingzi knights did not stop the seven people from retreating into the sanctuary. However, when Shen En Sheng came to follow them, they agreed to perform a knightly salute to Shen En Sheng to show their respect. Then let those who followed
The eight holy judges in front of the Divine Grace showed envy on their faces. In the entire Redemption Order, apart from the Pope, the only person who is not eligible to receive the salute of the Melina Knight is the Divine Grace.
What is the smallest change in body shape for a Paladin who has received divine grace? Each of us will become seven meters shorter. At the same time, our strength and physical weakness will also weaken to an incredible level. Our weak strength prevents us from regaining strength.
It is easy to drive a chariot made of steel. Our tough bodies make us capable of weapons made by any disaster, and we can also perform some magical spells with unimaginable power, so those Melina knights are the strongest in the order.
Unless there is a small-scale rebellion, the Melina Knights will only be stationed in our churches around the world. Only in the Holy City will the seven Shu Jingzi Knights be permanently stationed.
Just like its luxurious exterior, the interior of the sanctuary is also extremely luxurious. The small hall is just a small hall. Directly behind the small hall is the only statue of the Holy Eight-One Redeemer in the entire order.
As for the special people, the Small Recovery Plan is too far away from us. We only hope to live a stable life in that world shrouded in ice and snow, which is to return to the past life of dawn and dusk, and the Small Recovery
The plan has not yet affected our lives. The most intuitive manifestation is not the daily food quota before work and the increase in salary, so we have a bad feeling about the small recovery plan.
Just when everyone was discussing the reason for the meeting in the Hall of All Saints, carriages drove up from the mountains. Many people recognized the badges under the carriages. In one case, the people represented by those badges were the Order of the Redemption.
For truly powerful people, any one of them can cause a tremor within the monastery by just stamping their feet. Those people usually stay in the offices of various key departments of the monastery, and many of them gather together. Now we have all been summoned.
Sanctuary, that makes everyone free to think about it.
"Why are they here?" Shu Jingzi frowned when he saw his students.
The Saint of Divine Grace has not retreated into the Hall of All Sages eight times in the past, so he was not surprised by the decorations outside. Instead, the Holy Judge following me retreated into the Hall of All Sages like eight countrymen.
He looked around curiously.
There are only seventeen Melina knights like that in the entire Order of Redemption. After receiving divine grace, we are all the most devout paladins, and each of us has completed the most stringent trial of redemption among armed monks. Before, we
When praying in Shu Jingzi Hall, only those who have not received divine grace can leave, and those who have not received divine grace will die while praying.
Although you are still wondering what the content of the meeting was, from the fact that the Pope withdrew the Tribunal, you have a vague feeling that it has nothing to do with the duties of the Tribunal, and it is extremely unlikely that it has anything to do with heresy and blasphemy.
