Chapter 1128, The Importance of Anti-Stress Training
Vaduz Cathedral was the most typical Gothic architecture, the complicated architectural structure made it look mysterious and solemn.
Pointed arches, pilasters, and flowery window panes, a variety of elements came together to form the cathedral’s final appearance, with sixty-one spires pointing towards the sky like a dense forest of towers, and on each spire stood a humanoid statue.
“Who are all the statues at the spires?” Ren Xiaosu looked up.
“It’s the successive generations of Grand Wizards of the Berkeley family,” Ann replied, “In fact, the tops of the cathedrals in the other regions are all outstanding Grand Wizards of the All Wizards Organization, only the churches in the Berkeley family territory only put statues of their own family Grand Wizards. Not only that, but there are six hundred and one statues in this Vaduz Cathedral, all of the Berkeley family’s own wizards through the ages as well.”
“When was this church built?” Ren Xiaosu asked.
“Built over a hundred years ago, but only became what it is now after it was renovated sixty years ago,” Ann said as she gazed at the statue on the spire, “That’s also when they took down Russell’s statue.”
Ren Xiaosu skimmed An An, “What does Russell have to do with your organization?”
An An also skimmed Ren Xiaosu, “What does it have to do with you?”
Ren Xiaosu smiled and stopped talking, if the organization left behind by Knight Renhe had helped Russell during the calamity, then the two sides should have a very close working relationship.
In Meggo’s speculation, Russell was assassinated by the nobles of the olden times, which also seemed to be able to be a reason for Ann and the others to loathe the wizard organization.
Of course, all of this was still uncertain speculation, and the truth needed to be found by Ren Xiaosu herself.
However, what Ren Xiaosu could be sure of was that from sixty years ago, the Berkeley family had already had ambitions, and they had invited all the great wizards of the other wizard families down to the altar, just for the moment when they turned against each other.
Civil unrest? Ren Xiaosu was very much looking forward to this matter.
“What will the Grand Sorcerer do in front of the church at six o’clock?” Ren Xiaosu asked.
“It will display miracles,” Chen Cheng replied calmly, “Letting the subjects see those powers that don’t belong to the earth, thus helping to add to their faith.”
“Isn’t it just releasing a bit of good-looking sorcery,” Ren Xiaosu said disdainfully, “If you have the energy to pretend to be a god, you might as well think about how to make yourself stronger, no wonder you don’t dare to revert to science, you’re worried that your low-grade deceptions will be demolished by the people of the genera, let’s go, we’ll be coming back here at six o’clock. ”
Divine right, is the ruling cornerstone of the sorcerer’s kingdom, in order to protect this cornerstone, the sorcerers will not allow anything that can challenge their authority to appear.
As a Middle-Earth person, Ren Xiaosu would find this all very monstrous, but the belongers here took it all for granted after experiencing a cultural break.
By the time Ren Xiaosu brought Chen Cheng and An An to the stagecoach station in the north of the town, Meigo and the sheep people had all gone to bed early.
Mei Ge, this silly white sweetie, even specially left a note in the room assigned to Ren Xiaosu: at 5:30 in the morning, he had to get up and go to the Vaduz Cathedral’s service, so don’t sleep too late.
Ren Xiaosu muttered, “Still a warm man.”
Summer mornings would light up very early, and by 5:30 the sky had already turned from black to gray.
Mei Ge came to Ren Xiaosu’s room door and knocked: “Get up, take you to see the miracle.”
Ren Xiaosu opened the door, “You’re also a sorcerer, why do you still believe in miracles?”
“Just kidding,” Meiguo laughed, “We little wizards usually don’t want to miss this kind of worship ceremony at the beginning of the month either, because it’s the best time for us to observe the big wizards casting spells.”
“O,” Ren Xiaosu nodded, “It’s just observing and learning.”
Originally, Ren Xiaosu thought that he and Meiguo would be the only ones to observe, but to his surprise, nearly half of the entire caravan woke up early and rushed towards the Vaduz Cathedral.
Not only that, in the entire town of Vaduz, countless belongers were walking out of their homes, like a stream of water converging towards the Vaduz Cathedral.
People were wearing red robes, and all their faces were hidden in the hoods of the red robes, the entire town of Vaduz was like a sea of red when viewed from the sky.
Mego had the sheepman Li Fruit pull out a few broad red cloths from his bag, “We didn’t bring any red coats, so I had Li Fruit go and buy a few red cloths for emergencies, quick, drape them over your own body, to cover your head.”
Ren Xiaosu surveyed, this red cloth is indeed big enough, looks like a bed sheet ……
“Why are you draping yourself in red?” Ren Xiaosu asked.
“Not wearing a red coat is disrespectful to the gods,” Meiguo said, “If the family conditions allow it, you must also hold a lamp in your hand, and that lamp oil has its own peculiarities, it must be refined from goat’s milk.”
Ren Xiaosu looked around and really saw several red-clothed believers holding ghee lamps walking slowly.
The so-called religion is definitely not just giving people a god, it must have strict rituals, and the more rituals there are, the more mysterious it is.
However, what Ren Xiaosu thought when he saw this scene was that everyone was cloaked in red, which made it very convenient for assassins to perform beheadings, ah, after killing someone, they could just put on a piece of red cloth and leave with the crowd.
For example, if he wanted to kill this great sorcerer, he only needed to fire a random shot at firing range, and then he could drop his gun and blend into the crowd.
If the sorcerer could block bullets with sorcery, then he could also use black sniper, black sniper wasn’t working then black bullets, it was quite brutal.
Seeing that Ren Xiaosu didn’t say anything, Mego asked curiously, “What are you thinking about?”
“O, nothing,” Ren Xiaosu smiled harmlessly.
At this moment, the sea of red people had already gathered in front of the Vaduz Cathedral, and five sorcerers clad in wide red robes were already standing with their hands hanging down on the red carpet at the entrance of the church.
The difference between the attire of the wizards and that of their subjects was that their red robes were also adorned with white ermine on the lapels and sleeves.
At six o’clock, a loud chime rang out from behind the huge clock at the top of the cathedral that kept time.
The five wizards on the red carpet opened their arms at the same time, as if embracing the gods in the sky.
“Is the person at the front the Berkeley family head?” Ren Xiaosu asked in a low voice.
“No, that house lord has long since stopped participating in such things,” Meggo said, “Don’t talk for now, the ceremony is about to begin.”
When the bells fell, the great sorcerer standing at the very front of the red carpet took out his red eye of true sight from his sleeve, and all the subjects held their breath.
The Grand Sorcerer chanted, “There.is.no.such.things……”
“Snap.”
In the morning sunlight, a black shadowy door suddenly opened in front of the Grand Sorcerer, while a slender but powerful hand stretched out from behind that door, slapping the Grand Sorcerer hard in the face and interrupting the chant ……
Ren Xiaosu muttered, “Let’s just say that anti-stress training is important or not, right?”
