Chapter 22 Frostleaf Church of Holy Light
This is a world of snow. The dark brown branches are covered with a white coat. The newborn sunlight shines on the roofs on both sides of the street, and they are covered with a layer of gold. Occasionally, a piece of snow will slide down from the rooftops, revealing the light blue tiles on the roof. With a "puff" sound, the falling snow merges with the white streets, and no longer distinguishes each other.
As a military important military center in the northern part of the Freya Kingdom, Frost Leaf City was built as an octagonal star-shaped fortress. There are two ring roads and six interconnected streets in the city, forming a channel for convenient military assembly and dispatch.
The huge Frost Leaf Castle occupies the entire northern block of the city. The main entrance of the castle is also the north gate of Frost Leaf City, and the south gate of the castle faces the city. Once you go out, you can come to the intersection of six major streets - Loslan Square.
"Crunch~Crunch~"
The sound of boots stomping on the snow broke the tranquility of winter mornings.
Near the street of Lancelo Square, the guy who had just yawned and opened the store, looked out curiously. I don’t know which noble master was so interested and went out early.
The thin figure who was not yet nurtured was wearing a pure white dress, and the lily-like skirt fluttered with the breeze. A pair of equally pure white snow boots were rhythmically stepping on the snow a few centimeters thick, and a few snowflakes were playing with the edge of the boots.
On the morning when the snow was clear, there was no pedestrian in Shuangye City dressed so thinly. If it weren't for the two Shuangye Castle maids who followed behind them, it would have made people wonder if someone was abused by children.
The little loli, who almost attracted the attention of the whole street, didn't know that she took light steps and hummed an unknown tune. Her silver-white bangs swayed slightly with the swaying of her body, as if an elf in the snow had descended on this city that had lasted for half a year in winter.
Suddenly, she seemed to have seen something, raised her hand and pointed it into the distance, asking what to say to the maid who was following behind her. The sleeves slid down with the movement of raising her hand, revealing a piece of white arms, and a dazzling red flashed across her white wrist.
It was a blood-red bracelet, but no one who saw it could recognize its material, neither like a stone nor a gem. Its crystal clear and round appearance does not have any carving decorations, but it seemed like it should be like this. One point is a defect, and one point is a redemption.
This is the "Ring of the Hill" that Liya just obtained on her birthday. Liya has successfully conducted a mental coordinating ceremony and changed the appearance of this "ring" into a jade bracelet that was famous in the past. It is no longer as noble and cold as before, and it can be seen that it is a priceless appearance at a glance. This red jade bracelet that looks more "rustic" is not afraid of being revealed in front of outsiders. She doesn't believe that some people in this world recognize jade, and at most they will only think it is a mutant agate.
【Hmph, ignorant mortal…】
A strange sense of superiority appeared in Lea's heart, and then she raised her hand and pointed to a tall spire in the distance as if something had appeared. She asked Betty behind her, "Betty, what is that building that is several stories taller than other houses?"
Betty, behind her, glanced up, then lowered her head and replied respectfully: "Miss, this is the Holy Light Church in Frost Leaf City."
"Oh~ So it's the Church of Holy Light, thank you, Betty." Liya suddenly realized. She suddenly remembered the scene she saw on the night she first meditated. Almost all the light elements in the city gathered at that point, and it was where the Church of Holy Light. Speaking of which, she seemed to have forgotten something? However, Liya couldn't remember where this strange feeling came from for a moment.
"No...you don't have to be polite, this is my duty! Miss." The maid captain Betty had almost never received a thank you from the nobles. Her face turned slightly red, and even her tone of speaking was a little unstable. However, the well-trained maid adjusted her emotions in an instant, but the slightly flushed blush on her face usually showed that she was not calm inside.
In this world of strict hierarchy, maids like Betty are the maids that the maids look up to, but they are just maids. Her identity card always carved with the words "Second servant". Strictly speaking, the lower servants are even lower than those of civilians, but the maids of Frost Leaf Castle are exposed to the master's light, so no one dares to make things difficult for them. Therefore, when Betty hears Lea, a nobleman, thank her, she loses control of her emotions.
Riya, who was walking in front, did not notice the emotional change of the maid behind her. She was already planning to visit the Church of Holy Light.
The Church of Holy Light is located in the west of Frost Leaf City, at the junction of Beloye and Naz District, where the inner ring road and Cruise Street, one of the six main streets, also gather here.
The tower and the spire are thrust straight into the sky, and the slender columns are carved with complex and exquisite sculptures. The slightly mottled exterior walls seem to tell its heavy history. Although there are only three layers, they are built extremely tall and majestic. The hotel next to it, which is also three layers, is less than half its height.
Everyone standing in front of the Shuangye Holy Light Church will feel a little indifferent from the bottom of their hearts and involuntarily worship the gods in it.
Of course, this does not include Leah. She has seen hundreds of floors of skyscrapers in her previous life. In her eyes, this "high and majestic" church of Holy Light is the level of self-built houses in the city village. I don’t know what kind of mood Bishop Sade, who is doing spiritual practice in the church, felt after learning that his church had been removed from the self-built houses in the city village.
In short, on such an ordinary winter morning, Liya came to the Shuangye Holy Light Church for the first time.
The magnificent main entrance is exclusive to the Pope and the King. Leah can only walk through the special doors for nobles, one smaller on both sides of the main entrance. On the outside of these two doors, it is prepared for all residents without a title.
As soon as you enter the door, there is a magnificent front hall - yes, the true "magnificent" almost blinded the "magnificent" of Liya 24k longan.
The crimson carpet with gold embroidered edges extends all the way from the door, polishing the smooth marble floor. Each floor tiles have a light brown background, with black rings painted on it, and the circles are dark brown patterns like hourglass. The pure white walls have exquisite carvings such as columns, bouquets, leaves, clouds, angels, god servants, etc., all made of gold carvings.
Each door is surrounded by gold sculptures, as if behind the door can lead to the Kingdom of God that everyone yearns for. The dome is painted with the story of the Lord of the Holy Light, expressions, eyes and even the folds of clothes, and every detail is lifelike. This zenith painting alone is worth a lot. The frame of this painting, that is, the ceiling of the church front hall, is still made of pure gold sculptures.
A lamp stand made of gold is installed on the surrounding walls, and luxurious magic lamps are spread out in an orderly manner, emitting a warm orange light. On both sides of the main hall door are sculptures of jade-colored giant beasts in front of them. It is impossible to tell what material is carved, but every detail is lifelike. The people standing in front of them even have the illusion of being stared at by giant beasts. This is almost the only different tone in the entire vestibule except white and gold.
Although a large amount of gold decorations generally give people a sense of vulgarity, the gold decorations in the front hall of this church do not have this feeling at all, but rather shocking. At the same time, the warm lights will bring people a warm and comfortable feeling. What follows is naturally that believers have a stronger belief, and even ordinary people who do not yet believe will unconsciously develop worship and closeness to the Lord of the Holy Light.
However, Lea has not noticed anything else at all now, and she has been deeply attracted by the glittering gold.
The dragon's nature of love for financial reports, and even the seal of the dragon god cannot bind it...
