Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the early spring of Cecil's 5th year, as the Frost Sky constellation left the highest point in the night sky, the Flowing Fire Constellation gradually rose from the horizon. The cold winter entrenched in the northern country finally gradually left, and an atmosphere of eagerly anticipating the warmth of spring and the blooming flowers was  Beginning to brew between cities and villages - the Festival of Recovery is approaching. For most countries on this continent, this will be the most important holiday of the year.

    For the citizens of Cecil City, this year¡¯s Recovery Day has even more special meaning.

    This is the first Festival of Recovery since the victory in the decisive battle of Talasch. It is the first major festival celebrated by the Alliance since celebrating Victory Day. It is also the day when His Majesty Gawain Cecil ends his tour and returns to his loyal imperial capital.  ¡ª¡ªIn order to celebrate this extra special day, the Imperial Royal Family and the Theocratic Council even came forward to charter a grand religious celebration, and held a "Fertilization Prayer and Sacrifice Ceremony" in Cecil City's largest Pioneer Square.

    Since the Theocratic Council vigorously rectified the national sects and completely weakened the authority of the church, the priests and believers of various sects have not held a ceremony of this scale for a long time.

    For this day, half of the city has been decorated with lights. Pioneer Square has been prepared for a few days. Now it has been completely decorated into a sacred ceremony venue in line with the teachings of the Three Gods of Fertility, symbolizing Gaia, the Earth Mother, and Eve, the Harvest Goddess.  As well as various herbs and minerals from the three sisters Flora, the goddess of spring, are dotted throughout the square. Dried wheat ears and straw stalks specially stored last year are tied to the street lamps and extend from Pioneer Square to the church area.

    People in costumes set out from their homes in the early morning and walked along the main road from the church area to the main square. They arrived at the altar area on time before the sun filled the square. The priests who led the costumed team presented offerings to the statue in the early morning sun.  Pray and pour the dew collected the previous day into the earthen jar in front of the altar - with the last drop of water falling into the earthen jar, the ceremony of praying to the gods begins.

    So the horn sounded, and the bells and drums rang, symbolizing the joy of harvest. The ascetics wearing garlands walked to the high platform. They stepped on the thorny road specially laid in front of the high platform with bare feet, and the blood at the feet of these priests was regarded as  In line with the will of the goddess of spring to dissolve the winter snow, the Saint of Fertility, wearing a simple dress and holding ears of wheat, also stepped onto the high platform. She will preside over the sacrificial ceremony in the next session. As a representative of devout believers, she will stand on the high platform.  Hear directly from the gods.  .

    And when it all started, Gawain was standing on the tallest tower at the end of Pioneer Square, quietly overlooking the crowded square and the solemn and complicated sacred ceremony on the altar.

    Behind him, there is a large-scale machine in the not spacious room. This machine occupies almost half of the room. It is in the shape of a hexagonal prism, and neatly arranged in the layered metal frame.  The crystal matrix and rune substrate, as the crystals emitted a shimmering light, a low hum also came from the depths of the machine, echoing slightly throughout the room.

    Outside this room, throughout the tower, there are various protective devices distributed, and there are fully armed and determined Judgment Monks guarding everywhere.

    These layers of protection are not to ensure Gawain's own safety - the safety of a legendary strongman does not require the protection of these things. The real purpose of these protections is to maintain an unprecedentedly powerful anti-divine barrier to ensure that the people in the tower  Researchers of the Theocratic Council can safely record the parameters of the ritual site, maintain communication with the Disobedient Court, and in the process remain undetected by the divine halves of the Three Gods of Abundance.

    Gawain's eyes passed through the window and fell on the altar. He saw that the "saint" had placed the ears of wheat in her hands in front of the three icons - all three icons were half human and half deer.  It was the gestures of the three sisters Gaia, Eve and Flora that looked kindly at the world. Along with the solemn and pious prayers from the saint's mouth, a dense brilliance immediately appeared on the surface of the three saints, and then the already dry  The wheat ears regained their vitality.

    Seeing the icon glowing and the ears of wheat turning green, the saint seemed relieved. She smiled and nodded - this "miracle icon" indicated that the connection between the gods and the present world had been established, and the three goddesses had  His eyes fell on this sacred sacrificial site, and the sacrificial ceremony that was about to be performed here was a "righteous act" recognized by the gods.

    A familiar breath emerged from the air, and Gawain heard Amber's voice coming from beside him: "It looks really troublesome I started preparing a few days ago, and now it's finally officially started, and there's such a  There are a lot of twists and turns of 'symbolic rituals', such as walking on the street before the sun shines, ascetics pricking the feet with thorns, putting ears of wheat in front of the statue isn't this all a toss-up?"

    ¡°The complicated religious rituals are to demonstrate the divinity of the gods and establish a clear distinction between gods and mortals.Take it away - The girl with golden curly hair didn't dare to blink. She stared there for a long time. Just when the uneasiness in her heart was about to emerge, the vision she had been praying for finally appeared.

    An invisible light curtain suddenly descended from the sky. Wherever the light curtain passed, the sacrifices disappeared out of thin air.

    Even the trays for the sacrifices seemed to be gone

    The saint blinked. She looked at the deacon next to her and found that the deacon was also a little panicked.

    I¡¯ve never seen this before.jpg.

    But after all, he is a high-level priest, and having a calm mind is the most basic requirement for standing in this position. The saint quickly woke up from the shock of "Why did the three goddesses even take away the plates?" and thought in a second  With the reasons to convince herself and all the believers, she turned around and looked at the square, facing the crowded scene, and loudly announced¡ª¡ª

    ¡°Rejoice! God is pleased with our piety¡ªvery pleased!!¡±

    The next second, there was thunderous applause in the square.

    At the same time, around the golden oak tree in the Disobedient Courtyard, the gods who came to watch the excitement also burst into applause.
