Chapter 887： Aura (1/2)

The solemn and majestic bells echoed in the sanctuary, and a low resonance resonated in the Great Sanctuary of the God of War under the steel dome. Matilda got up from the bench and said to the old pope in front of him, "The bell is ringing, I should Return to Obsidian Palace. If you are still interested in my experience in Cecil, I can tell you more about it next time. "

"I'm looking forward to it," Malm Dunett's face has a peaceful and loving smile. This gentle temperament makes him almost not like a battle priest who served the **** of war and had charged on the battlefield, only his burly and strong The sharpness of the body and the bottom of the eyes proves that the old man is still powerful and proves his dominance and authority over the church. "Take my greetings to Rosetta. He has n’t been to God of War for a long time. The Great Church. "

Matilda lowered her head slightly: "... I will."

Regardless of how the Augustus family keeps a long distance from the gods and the church, regular contact with church representatives and stepping on the church is ultimately the responsibility of the royal family. This kind of thing to be shown to the following nobles and people still has to be done.

With accompanying attendants and guards, Matilda left the magnificent palace.

There is a long corridor from the internal church to the exit.

The Ares sect uses "iron" as a symbol of sacred metal. The black steel frame and classic iron sculptures decorate the corridor leading to the exterior of the church. The countless candlelights in the alcove illuminate the place. Between the columns, narrow windows and narrow windows, the Scripture cloth depicting various war scenes or sacred proverbs hangs from the roof, decorating the walls on both sides.

Matilda walked along this long corridor, the candlelight swaying in the alcove seemed indefinite in her sight. As she approached the exit of the temple, she couldn't help but slow down slightly, and a black The figure with dark hair, dignified and soft appearance, and wearing a maid's dress came to her naturally in the next second.

This figure was one of the several maids behind Matilda, but no one noticed her until she stood up. Even if she came to the princess, no one could see how she crossed The position of the other maids and servants appeared quietly next to Matilda.

"Ms. Diana," Matilda whispered to the dark-haired maid who came to her, "Do you think ... there is a strange ... atmosphere in the Great Church today?"

"I didn't feel it, Your Highness," the black-haired maid kept the same speed as Matilda, and whispered back while walking in small steps, "Did you notice anything?"

"... No, probably I haven't been here for a long time. The relatively heavy decoration style made me a little uncomfortable," Matilda shook her head, and then changed the subject. "It seems that Pope Malm also Noting the recent changes in Aldnan, the fresh air is blown into the Great Church. "

Diana's tone was soft: "Although Malm did not pay attention to the world, he was never a conservative and stubborn person. When new things appeared in his sight, he was also happy to understand."

As a "maid", she was still quite indifferent when talking about the Pope's respect.

Matilda nodded slightly, seeming to agree with Diana's judgment, and then she accelerated her pace slightly, and led her followers through the long corridor quickly.

The candlelight in the alcove is shining, there is no wind in the corridor, but all the candlelights are gently swinging in different directions, as if the invisible wind is hovering in dimensions that humans cannot perceive, disturbing the silence of this sanctuary .

...

Malm Dunett finished another short prayer. He opened his eyes, relaxed his breath, and reached for the herbal wine offered by the attendant, and took a small sip of restraint.

The spicy, sweet and bitter taste of herbal liquor escaped from his throat, stimulating the spirit of the old man. He quietly waited for the feeling of boosting energy to ferment in his body, and at the same time asked casually: "Her Royal Highness left ? "

A sacrificial priest, dressed in a dark black robes, stood next to the pope bowly and reported respectfully: "They have left the Great Church and are under the crown."

"Well," Malm nodded. "Then we will continue to discuss the festival later."

"Under the crown, do you ..." The priest glanced at the old pope anxiously, and hesitantly said, "Do you need to take a break today? You have received many receptions today. At this time, your energy is easily depleted."

"I'm not that fragile yet," Malm shook his head. "And the test of the Lord's lowering cannot be avoided, especially around the annual festival."

As he said, the old pope crossed an x ​​symbol on his chest and chanted the name of the God of War in a low voice.

There was a power that mortals could not perceive in the Great Church, and a kind of sacred and vast but incomprehensible "breath" wandered in this sanctuary, and Malm could vaguely perceive the vague ripples it had appeared. Knowing that this is the power of the **** is undulating between the present world and the kingdom of God.

The God of War is a **** who is "close to" human beings, even closer to humans than the Holy Light, which has always been named after mild justice. This may be because human beings are inherently a war-loving race, or because the God of War pays more attention to the world of mortals than other gods. In any case, the impact of this "closeness" is far-reaching.

It brings more powerful and easily accessible magic to the God of War, and also makes the power of the gods easier to produce some kind of "interlaced penetration" with this world, and this "penetration" that occurs at the boundary of the real world has periodic fluctuations. Now, a new round of infiltration is approaching, and in this great church closest to the will of the gods, some signs have begun to show up.

This is a normal situation for senior God of War officials. It is a normal natural phenomenon.

It's just that this year's penetration ... seems to be stronger than in previous years.

"Under the crown," the voice of the sacrificial priest heard from the side, interrupting the Pope's thinking. "Recently, more and more priests have heard noises in prayer, such as when in or near the Great Church. The situation is particularly serious. "

"The Lord is approaching this world periodically," Malm said in a deep voice. "The human mind cannot fully understand the words of the gods, so the knowledge beyond our thinking becomes a noise like noise, which is normal. Keeping the priests devoted, both physical and mental, is synchronized with the teachings of the gods. This allows us to understand the will of the gods more effectively, and the "noise" situation will be reduced a lot. "

The sacrificial bowed her head deeply and reverently replied: "Yes, under the crown."

Then the helper was quiet for a few seconds, and finally he couldn't help saying: "Under the crown, this time's" resonance "seems to be unusually strong. Is this a sign that the **** is about to lower his will?"
