Treasure Hunters, Sail the Blue Sea

Chapter 547 Harvest Ceremony
"Is this church... so big?"

There was no obvious contrast when they looked at the port before. When they actually came to the foot of the church, they realized that the height of the church was outrageous.

The highest height of the church must be at least 200 meters.

It stands here like a small city.

It's like a giant fortress standing on the battlefield.

The tall tower spiers and various Virgin elements are softly mixed on this huge building.

At this time, they were almost bathed in the golden light beams cast from the sky.

The surrounding temperature was neither cold nor hot, but it was warm under the golden light.

Especially the main entrance of the church, the height of the gate must be at least 10 meters.

The main door is painted with the figures of the Virgin Mary and the heroic legends in the holy scriptures.

Alka and the others followed the soldiers to the side door.

Walking through the side door, the two soldiers said goodbye and left.

Alka and the others looked from the side.

Inside is a huge domed hall.

Or the giant domed worship hall.

Rows of seats, densely packed, extend to the gate.

The seats were full.

An old man wearing simple church clothes was speaking on the stage with a sacred book in his hand.

After each round of lectures, the people in the rows of seats left in an orderly manner from the side doors on both sides.

Then the next group of pilgrims entered and sat around very quietly.

In this sacred place, they maintained the most basic silence.

Alka and the others stood to the side.

Until another round of pilgrims left.

The old man on the podium left.

Others took his place.

At this time, a wheat knight standing next to them spoke.

"Archbishop An En is down. Everyone, please come with me."

As he spoke, he led them forward from the glorious corridor next to him.

As far as Alka knows.

Teaching does not exist as a position called the Pope.

The highest position is actually that of Archbishop.

Just like the highest position in Home Sea is Archbishop.

Alka was a little confused at first, but later she understood.

The church where the archbishop is located basically manages several surrounding sea areas, not a linked sea area.

In the Holy City, the headquarters of the church here, there are normally three archbishops.

They were in charge of different things, and then they discussed it.

There will be bishops' conferences held every few years to decide some things.

The highest office is a council of six elected from among the archbishops.

It is basically up to them to judge and formulate the direction of some churches.

Six-person meeting, three-person rotation.

Simple and effective.

And because there really is a Holy Mother on top, there is no so-called corruption of power. Being able to sit in this position is truly fulfilling the will of the Holy Mother in mind and body.

Based on communication with Our Lady.

Some of the thoughts of many bishops will even have some influence on Our Lady herself, revising her ideas to make them more perfect.

be honest.

Each of these archbishops can be described as a saint.

But just the exchanges with the soldiers on the way here.

Most things in the Holy City are now managed by the Archbishop named An En.

It's not because his power is so great, but because the other two archbishops have too many things to do.

Need to go somewhere else to do things.

After all, the whole world is uneasy now and they are extremely busy.

Quickly go through the corridor and come upstairs.

A wheat knight brought them to a hall.

But in the end, only Alka, Shadetti, Jason and Lucilia stayed.

Because others don't have much interest in meeting Archbishop Ann.

They were taken over by other church members to tour the entire cathedral.

Several people knocked on the door and walked in.

At this time, there is a desk.

The Archbishop Ann whom I saw just now was busy working on his desk.

All around were piles of books and various orders that required his signature.

There was a secretary on the left assisting, and an assistant on the right looking at Alka and the others with an apologetic smile.

It does seem very busy.

Alka and the others did not interrupt, they just found a seat nearby and sat down, waiting quietly.

It wasn't until Archbishop Ann finally took a break and took a sip of water that he turned his attention to them.

He stood up and walked in front of several people.

He nodded with everyone and crossed his arms.

"Welcome everyone."

As he spoke, he looked at Alka with an appraising look.

Alka also looked at the archbishop in front of him.

to be frank.

He saw one red, two orange and three gold flashing on the Archbishop's body. He had already collected the six triangular treasures.

Maybe it's already in the ascension ceremony.

The strength is also at the ninth stage.

Almost reaching the pinnacle of normal mortals in this world.

It is even about to break through this peak.

The real strong one.

He studied Alka.

Then he nodded: "You are a very powerful young man. Over the years, I have been listening to your stories and information."

Hearing this Alka nodded and smiled.

To be honest, he didn't know much about Archbishop Ann.It is even said that he actually does not know much about the famous figures and systems of the entire Holy Mother Church.

"The Tower of Trial is still under the control of the teachings and is not far away. If you are not in a hurry, you can wait until tomorrow before leaving.

Tomorrow is the Harvest Festival. It is fate that you can arrive here today. Maybe it is the guidance of the Holy Mother? "

Alka nodded and said, "That's exactly what we meant."

Hearing this, Archbishop An nodded, then looked at Alka and the others and asked after thinking: "Then do you want to host this festival?"

After hearing this, several people were stunned.

Then they all shook their heads.

Are you kidding? To be honest, apart from experiencing the so-called Harvest Festival in Home Sea, they have never participated in it, let alone hosted it.

Moreover, this is a holy city, and the headquarters of the Holy Mother Church is also the largest celebration venue for the Harvest Festival. So many believers come here as a pilgrim.

It was a bit outrageous to ask someone with no experience to host it.

"Young people just need to exercise more, it's true. But since you refuse, forget it." Archbishop Ann murmured.

Then he looked at Alka.

"Thank you for your previous contribution to the scars of the world. If it weren't for your actions in the dream, I don't know how much the scars of the world would have paid at that time."

"What do you mean?" Alka asked with some confusion.

To be honest, he had not received any information about this.

Alka's expression didn't look like he was faking it.

An En explained: "When you became a god in the dream kingdom, there was quite a lot of noise. Although only a few people knew about it, the timing of your ascension was a bit coincidental.

At that time, you suppressed the demons who were conducting a general attack and bought time for defense, if it weren't for your divine suppression that time.The former wall against demons has fallen. "

Hearing this, Alka nodded.

So this is ah.

But it is true that he himself did not know that his promotion from the eighth stage to the ninth stage would be the standard for becoming a god in a dream.

It's also a coincidence.

"Although the anti-demon wall has fallen..."

"what?"

These words surprised Alka and the others.

"What's so surprising about this? You should have expected it. Is it so hard to accept it?"

Although they had expected it, the news of the fall of the anti-demon wall did not come at the time they expected.So they thought they had taken some extra defensive measures and persisted.

"There's nothing you can do about it, at least you buy them time to deploy a more solid defense at the back.

Alas, the road ahead is bleak, and I don’t know how to navigate it. Archbishop Ann murmured.

Then he sat back down and started to get busy.

After Alka and the others briefly chatted for a while, they said goodbye and left.

Soon church personnel took them to a resting place.

But no one came back.Still wandering around the church.

So they started visiting this sacred cathedral earlier.

But as mentioned before, this sacred cathedral is indeed extremely busy.

And it was not Alka's illusion. He found that many civil servants were more or less disabled.

Obviously, these personnel have retired from the front line.

Ugh.

……

The next day.

The sky had just brightened, and the sounds of a festive atmosphere could be heard outside.

Music celebrating the harvest spread throughout the island.

Alka and the others also got up early.

Under the guidance of church personnel, we sat inside the church.

I don’t know how to do it at this time.

The wall that was originally the front door of the cathedral has completely disappeared.

The hall in front of the entire cathedral is connected to the square outside.

The square was crowded with pilgrims, members of the chamber of commerce who happened to be staying here, and residents of the island.Only heads could be seen in patches, and people could even be seen sitting near the residential buildings and windows near the church.

The people around, almost everyone on the island gathered here.

And in this early morning, just after dawn.

Although the sky has not changed at all.

But this is still the most important time of the Harvest Festival.

Alka and the others were sitting inside the church.

A middle-aged man who should be an important member of the church stood on the table.

You can see some scars and bandages on his body.

Then he began to speak.

Alka and the others will understand after listening to this speech.

The content of this speech is nothing more than talking about some of the crises the world is facing and the difficulties experienced on the front lines, and then thanking everyone for their support over the years.

Finally, there are the children in the orphanage.

Wearing pure white clothes, they formed a choir and began to sing.

It is the song of the Virgin that is sung.

Some kind of holiday song.

And amidst the accompaniment of music, Julia is standing among them.

You must know that among all those who love music, Julia's reputation has already spread throughout the world.

After all, her works had already spread with the help of the Four Gods Church.

As the intro fell.

Children's singing sounded.

Julia seems ready for a big one.

A gramophone appeared next to her, followed by a huge harp.

She started to play.

Attracted all his treasures.

The sound of music was transmitted.

By the way, the voices of these children have also been expanded.

In an instant, the children's chorus and the sound of music actually sounded throughout the island and even spread to the sea.

This is a song that represents Our Lady.

Inspired by music.

The Virgin seemed to project more holy light, and golden light spots slowly fell across the island in the sky.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but even the golden ears of wheat on the island have inexplicably grown higher.

Everyone closed their eyes and sank into the sound of the music, feeling moved by their own emotions.

Nowadays the place is almost full of believers.

Their beliefs began to coalesce.

Four nodes outside the world.

The node representing the Virgin shines inexplicably and transmits strong energy.The entire protective film was inexplicably reinforced.

"What's going on?" The betrayer gods who were secretly invading the world wondered.

Even the new gods who have joined the node and the other four gods are a little confused.

Why is there so much energy inexplicably coming from the direction of the Holy Mother?

Where is it?
Not to mention them, the Holy Mother herself was a little surprised.

The recent busyness in the sky has made Our Lady almost forget that today is the annual harvest festival.

To Our Lady, one year is not such a long span of time.

She hadn't let her eyes wander there for a long time.

The strong energy transmitted caused her to cast her sights on the island again.

Not just her.

The other four gods, the Flower Fairy, and the gods who had already ascended to the throne and joined the defense system cast their gaze over.

Then I saw the scene on the island at this time.

It seems that it was under the leadership of Julia.

With the cooperation of Julia's new treasure, everyone's faith in the Virgin increased to the highest point.

The condensed faith turned into a powerful force.

In this center of Marian faith, we pass on to Our Lady.

At this time, the Virgin also fed back part of this energy.

The golden light spots like raindrops seemed to become more numerous.

"If I'm not mistaken...that's a believer in life, right? She seems to be a saint. She's also a mermaid."

The Flower Fairy looked at Julia and said, she had seen Julia.

"Haha, life must be so angry, and Poseidon will definitely not be happy either. Hahaha."

This is certainly true of these two gods.

Julia was a believer in life, and she still is, but she acted like this because of the atmosphere she was in now.

"Well... when will Julia be able to do this when she is growing up?"

Poseidon was the most unhappy one.

Because the Julia who caused this at this time is a mermaid.

Although the mermaid is an intelligent life in the ocean, he was originally created by him.

But the problem is that in the end, marine creatures such as mermaids were all overtaken by life because of some experiences, and they all became her believers.

Now it has almost nothing to do with him.

But this time, this scene from Our Lady’s Harvest Day seems to have opened up some new ideas for the gods.

At this time, the holy city.

As the song ended, everyone could not recall it for a long time, and the sound of the music became weaker and weaker, but it was still floating in the air.

Until everyone came to their senses.

At this time, Archbishop Ann was already standing on the stage.

“It is another harvest day, and now let us sing the praises of Our Lady.

Praise the harvest, praise the new life.

Let us welcome the gifts from Our Lady and thank her for her grace..."

As the words fell.

The believers on the island began to chant prayers to the Virgin.

Ann is also connecting with their religious rituals.

Welcome the arrival of this year’s Holy Mother Angel.

She will bring the grace of Our Lady.

This is true every year.

It’s just that this year these believers seem to have a little more faith.

Maybe it was brought about by the sound of the music just now.

Everyone was watching these ceremonies.

In Alka's eyes, this ceremony really connected to the Holy Mother's Kingdom.

It really conveys the message of prayer.

Let everyone’s prayers reach the ears of the Holy Mother.

Then the light pillars falling from the sky began to gather on the top of the central church hall.

A faint golden light and shadow began to gather.

The expressions on the faces of those believers became more and more pious.

However, although the church personnel still had pious faces, they were not overly surprised. It seemed like this was the case every year.

The figures gathered by the golden light became the size of a child.

A child in robes fell down in the golden light.

a little girl.

"Ok?"

I know Alka.
