Chapter 533: Blessing Ceremony
The church in the town is not big. After entering, the rows of chairs can only seat 80 people at most. A priest in a white robe is chanting in a low voice with his back to the door. The stone wall in front of it is engraved with a drawing of an angel descending.
Among them, the angel has six wings on her back and burns like a flame. Her eyes are slightly closed, tears seem to flow down, and her expression is sympathetic. This is the image of the water angel Israphael.
After knocking on the door, Rochelle and the others walked into the church.
"Hello, is this the presiding pastor here?" Edward took off the top hat on his head and bowed.
"Hello, I am." The pastor turned around, his face was a little haggard, and he looked quite old.
"Hello Dear Light Keeper, my wife and I traveled here and liked the environment here, but yesterday she suddenly had a nightmare and saw an unbelievable scene, and she has been in a bad mood today."
"So I would like you to preside over a soothing prayer ceremony, do you think it's okay?" Edward said, holding one of his hands with Margaret, comforting his lover.
The pastor looked up at the four, and after a few seconds, nodded slightly.
"I understand your prayer, but such a ceremony costs a lot..." He paused a little.
"I understand that angels also want apples and bread in the world. This is a little bit of my heart, and I am willing to donate it to the church."
Edward took out two extraordinary gold coins from his arms. In the dim church, these two gold coins exude a different brilliance.
"Thank you for your piety, and let the light walk on the ground." The pastor nodded slightly, and then let the four of them sit in the church for a while, and he went to prepare the materials and personnel.
More than ten minutes later, another priest and nun also came to the church, and there were three priests in the church.
The nun first brought water to Margaret to wash her face and hands, and then asked her to stand in front of the angel relief.
Then the two priests lit two incense sticks and placed them beside Margaret, and a soothing fragrance filled the air.
The doors and windows of the church have long been closed, and only the afternoon sun shines through the stained glass windows and falls on the floor inside the church.
The church became very quiet.
The nun chanted the names of the three seraphs and sprinkled a little dew.
Under the action of extraordinary power, these dewdrops were dispersed into tiny particles, and then burned, which made everyone in the church feel refreshed, sober, and then soothed a lot.
After that, it was the work of the old priest. He held a small scepter, raised a circular magic circle on the ground, and then enveloped Margaret in it. The magic in it worked according to the ritual, allowing consciousness and soul to gradually move. precipitation.
This was followed by a five-minute chant and reassurance.
After everything was over, the old priest also had a slight sweat on his forehead.
Edward thanked him and lifted Margaret off the ground.
"As expected of the priest of the sanctuary..." Immediately followed by a burst of compliments.
A few people chatted for a while, then said goodbye and left.
After they walked out of the church and returned to the hotel, several people gathered in a room to discuss.
"The priest's technique and ritual process are correct. The only thing that's a fly in the ointment is that the number of people is wrong. It stands to reason that this kind of middle-level soothing and blessing ceremony should be performed and presided over by five people to achieve the best effect."' Makeup artist ' so rated.
"Indeed, I casually inquired while chatting before I left, and the old pastor said that there are only a few people in their church. This is different from the practice of the church."
"A town-level church requires at least two priests, a nun, and two guarding knights to be qualified. In fact, considering emergencies and alternates, generally three priests, the old, middle and young, are the best configuration. ."
However, when I left, I only saw a knight at the door of the church. I asked the townspeople. They said that it was like this a long time ago, and there was only one knight guarding it.
"There's a little problem, but I'm not sure yet. What about 'The Muppet Master', did you find anything?"
"Yes, these four people, including the knights at the door, have been contaminated by the phantom of chaos." Rosie's clear and peaceful words uttered surprising news.
"how is this possible?"
The 'makeup artist' covered her open mouth in disbelief. She just accepted the ceremony and felt that the priest's spirit was very pious.
"Oh, it looks like we finally found the right person, hehe."
'Red Hat' is much more calm. He didn't ask how the girl knew about it. This is the secret of the other team members, but since the new team member was specially sent here, it must be a sign that he is detecting something special in this area. talent.
"Are you going to arrest them now?" Roland Hill was sitting on a chair with the doll in his arms, looking at the three people in front of him curiously.
"Not for now, let's observe first to see if they have contact with other people, and find out why Pastor Matthew disappeared a few days ago, whether they were silenced."
"It's finally time to start working." The 'Black Bull' picked up the kettle on the table and poured it directly, his expression relaxed.
------
In the next two days, several people learned from the townspeople about the situation of the pastor and others in the church in detail, and kept observing secretly to see if these people had contact with others.
"It is said that Pastor Matthew disappeared half a month ago. He and Jin Na are childhood sweethearts."
"What's interesting is that Jin Na also died some time ago. It is said that she was attacked by monsters in the mountains. When others found it, only the mutilated body was left."
"die
Where is the location? "
"Ma Xiu and Jin Na grew up in a remote mountain village more than 20 miles away."
"Looks like I have to make a trip." The Red Hat sighed.
So the four of them agreed that night, the 'makeup artist' and the 'black bull' would stay in the hotel and continue to monitor the church from afar. And 'Red Hat' and 'The Muppet Master' took advantage of the night to rush to the village, trying to come back before dark the next afternoon before deciding what to do next.
"Here's this." The 'Red Hat' put a prism-like pendant into Rosie's hand. The color was pale yellow and it felt a little hard.
"If you encounter danger and trouble, break it up, and others can perceive it. At the same time, there is also one in other people's hands. If it breaks, you can roughly know it."
"Okay, but aren't we acting together?"
"Yes, but the situation is changing a lot, and there may be any accident at that time. If I hang up and report to you, you should run away." The 'Red Hat' showed a mocking smile.
Lorraine Hill blinked and looked at the captain of the squad. He was not weak, would he also express such emotion?
"Okay, I know."
Rochelle thought for a while, tied the crystal-like prism with a string, tied it to the back of her wrist, and then covered it with a long sleeve.
Seeing this girl's obedient and cautious appearance, several others showed a relieved smile.
What a reassuring child.
To be honest, what they are most afraid of is the arrogant and irrational member, sometimes you can't call the other party bad, but it's just annoying.
