Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
After waiting for nearly ten minutes outside the Great Prayer Hall, Klein and other believers who participated in the Moon Mass, led by the pastor, entered inside.
In a dim and quiet atmosphere, they are greeted by a tidy and ethereal chant:
"The crimson full moon rises, reflecting the earth,
"Everyone has fallen into a sweet dream, dreaming of himself,
"Dreaming about parents, wives (husbands) and children, this is forever ..." (Note 1)
Holy and rhythmic sounds echoed back and forth. The believers in the Grand Prayer Hall calmed down involuntarily. It seemed that they had forgotten the troubles of life and no longer worried about the difficulties of the real world.
Under the guidance of several priests, they each found a place to sit well. In front of the altar, the Electra bishop in charge of this mass took "Revelations of the Night" and began to do a simple sermon.
When this step comes to an end, the priests pick up the clear water and bread and distribute them to Klein and others. This is the favor of night and the food shared by the living and the dead.
The Klein who has not enjoyed dinner naturally did not waste that quality bread and the clean water in the cup, and then saw a candle lit on the altar, against the darkness, like the stars of the night, exuding people Reassuring light and heat.
At this time, Bishop Electra took the priests and all the choirs and chanted again in unison:
"We will look up at the night sky,
"Speak his name tenderly:‘ Goddess of the Night! ’
"Nothing other than‘ Goddess of the Night ’,
"I hope Goddess sings between Angel
"Take them together with sweet silence,
"And hold in his gentle right hand.
"‘ Goddess! ’If he heard, he would agree,
"Pure smile will be revealed to the dead:
"‘ Come on, rest, sleep well, my children! "(Note 2)
The empty voice penetrated into the ears of every believer with a divine feeling, and it seemed to resonate with all the spirits present. As a Sequence Five Extraordinary, Klein also seemed to have been washed with mental body The feeling, spirituality flows out naturally and comfortably.
Then, there seemed to be a quiet darkness before him, a darkness without sound.
In the dark, a corpse lay there, pale but calm, as if not dead, just sleeping.
Klein walked peacefully in the darkness, and suddenly stopped, looking forward.
There are several people sleeping where the moon flower blooms quietly.
They are Dunn Smith without a hat and a windbreaker. They are Old Neil still wearing black classical robes. They are Kenry who are not struggling to save money.
They closed their eyes in a relaxed manner, and there seemed to be a faint smile on the corners of their mouths, and there were one tombstone after another, each with the same word written on it:
"Guardian."
Klein closed her eyes at once, and the holy and ethereal voice rang from her ear:
"Cross your hands,
"Place it on your chest,
"Pray that silent prayer,
"And shout with your heart:
"The only destination is peace!" (Note 3)
Klein lowered his head, closed his eyes, raised his hands, placed it across his chest, and then repeated silently:
"The only destination is tranquility!"
"The only destination is tranquility!"
......
Over and over again, until the Great Prayer Hall became extremely quiet, Klein opened his eyes and raised his hands to rub the corners of his eyes.
He slowly sighed and glanced to the left and right. With the light of the candlestick, he found that most of the believers had tears on their faces and did not know it. Even his own personal servant Richardson let the tears fall down. No wiping.
The moon mass is closer to a ritual, a ritual involving extraordinary powers, the role should be to resonate with everyone's spirit, let different people see the close deceased in the dark, release grief, and obtain tranquility ... Well, this is not a change that is unique to Extraordinary. I can rest assured ... For ordinary people, this is the flash of hallucinations and inner emotions. I will only think that Goddess is great, and I will not doubt that there is supernatural power ... Night path The Sequence Five seems to have greatly improved the control of the spirit ... Klein withdrawn his gaze, and in one's mind made a judgment.
He then recalled the darkness and the dead who were lying among the moon flowers.
Close your eyes, Klein let your thoughts spread out:
"A dark plain with moon flowers, Night Fragrant Grass, and Deep Sleep Flower is some kind of presentation of Goddess Divine State?
"What is the danger source of the Battle of Gods ruins at night?"
Klein gradually outlined the cold night and the mist that enveloped the sea under the coldest night seen on the easternmost side of Sunya Sea.
In the mist, there is a dark, ancient steeple church, where a crow hovered and hovered, like a memorial, like a mourning, and the church was surrounded by ordinary houses, simple wooden houses, gray mills and A shadowy figure.
It stands to reason that this misty scene, which is closely related to the night and the dream, should be formed by the remaining breath of Goddess or Demonic Wolf of Destruction Flegrea, but it has nothing in common with the presentation of the corresponding Divine State ... well, mortals cannot spy on God, maybe The dark plain covered with flowers and grass just now was not the Divine State projection, but the product of the ceremony ... Klein saw that the moon mass had come to an end, so he extended his palm to the inner pocket of his clothes and took out his wallet.
He held his wallet and got up into the aisle. He walked all the way to the altar. He walked diagonally to the offering box in the expression of the Electra bishop's kindness and compassion.
After tapping four times clockwise on the chest and drawing scarlet moon, Klein threw in all the large amounts of money.
Total 300 pounds!
At this moment, Klein is not as painful and unhappy as the previous few times, and he is very calm, because he remembered the Old Neil ceremony to return the arrears.
At that time, under the protection of Goddess, they found a wallet containing more than three hundred pounds of cash.
Taking a step back and drawing a scarlet moon again, he gave the position to the donors behind.
At this time, Bishop Electra took the initiative to greet him, opening the scarlet moon clockwise and saying:
"may the Goddess bless you."
"May Goddess know that what I want most now is to listen to the teachings." Klein responded with a smile.
Bishop Electra glanced at the exit on the side of the prayer hall:
"If you do n’t mind waiting for a quarter of an hour, I can give you a lesson in the library."
"This is exactly what I crave." Klein smiled gently.
Bishop Electra immediately led a priest to lead the Dawn Dantes servant out of the large prayer hall from the side passage and bypassed the library room not far from the spiral staircase.
There are large bookshelves one after another, full of various books related to Goddess of the Night church, and some tables and chairs are arranged on each side for the pastor and bishop to learn and preach to the believers.
After 2 minutes of 12, Bishop Electra entered the library with a calming smile, and saw the white and elegant temple Dawn Dantes standing in front of a row of bookshelves, looking at a classic book intently, very scholarly feel.
"What are you looking at?" he asked with a smile.
Klein folded the books together and laughed at himself:
"" Revelations of the Night ".
"honestly speaking, although I faithfully believe in Goddess, I have been busy with life for many years, and I have never calmed down to read this holy book seriously."
While speaking, he did not have any abnormalities on the surface, but his heart was a little nervous, afraid that Goddess would directly give a lightning to reward the devout believer Dawn Dantes.
Well, Lightning is not in the Goddess field ... Klein in one's mind comforted himself.
Bishop Electra smiled and took over "Revelations of the Night":
"It is not too late from now on."
He immediately asked Dawn Dantes to sit down at a table and systematically explained the composition and key words of "Revelations of the Night" to the other party.
Richardson took the employer ’s hat and walking stick and sat a little further away, waiting quietly while listening to the bishop ’s sermon.
The time passes by one minute and one second, and the seemingly serious Klein spiritual sense is suddenly touched, and the scene outside the door naturally emerges in my mind.
This is his intuitive hunch, which originated from Clown and was enhanced by grey mist!
Outside the door, an old man in black robes of the clergyman passed by and walked to the spiral staircase nearby.
His white hair is still lush, but he does n’t do any sorting, and it looks rather messy. He is face thin, with a feeling of skin directly covering the bones, his temperament is quite cold, and his skin is extremely pale. pupils is a rare pure black.
The figure soon disappeared at the door, and the sound of footsteps gradually getting louder not far away.
Internal watchmen! But it was n’t the one I met in the Great Prayer Hall ... well, it ’s his rotation today? Klein focused on the bishop looks at Electra and put on a look of the contents of the canon.
He was not surprised that the internal watchmen appeared inside the church at this time. After passing the library, the seal power after Chanis Gate will reach its peak at night, and it is no longer suitable for the live living creature. Therefore, the internal watchmen is entered at sunrise. Sunset left, and now it was just dark.
Remember what day is today, what day of the week ... Then gradually increase the corresponding information, and figure out the internal rotation rules of watchmen, so that you can play the right goal at the right time ... Klein withdraw your thoughts, listen carefully, and half Get up and say goodbye after hours.
He smiled at Bishop Electra:
"I do n’t know if I have the honor to listen to your sermon afterwards?"
"no problem." The bishop Electra couldn't say no to the rich man who had just donated 300 pounds, and even nodded happily, "As long as you come to church, as long as I have time."
Klein did n’t bother with details, so as not to cause doubts, sincerely thanked him, and left Church of Saint Samuel with his personal servant Richardson.
He returned home at less than 8 o'clock, just had dinner and spent the rest of the day leisurely.
…………
Late night, master bedroom room.
Sleep's Klein suddenly opened his eyes.
His spirituality intuition told him that someone had sneaked into his house!
