Chapter 342 Oil Painting of Holy Prayer
Back home from the Black Raven Library, it is already It was 10:30 in the morning. After confirming the effect of the new Mystic Art, Shade did not cook at home, but left home with Mia, who was interested in playing cards, and took the carriage to the Dawn Church.

While looking for the carriage at St. Teresa Square, I was already feeling the festive spirit with the young priests in priest robes handing out promotional material. When approaching Plaza Dawn, the cheerful atmosphere created by religious festivals in the city becomes even more intense.

Thursday two weeks ago, the city hall also intended to recover the city from its wounds through a major civic event, and thus provided a lot of help to the Holy Prayer in the summer of 1853.

Centered on the Church of Dawn, the neighborhoods around the neighborhood are full of banners and streamers. I don't know if the city hall gave out gold pounds, or if Dawn Church took out banknotes, and the outer walls of the shops on the streets directly connected to Dawn Square were actually hung with the holy emblem of the righteous god [Mr. Dawn].

The pigeons flew under the foggy sky, the bustling crowd gathered in the church and the surrounding streets, the lively festival also attracted more small vendors to set up their stalls on the roadside, and the city hall Turn a blind eye to it.

The carriage could not enter the festival at all, and had to place Shade at the intersection on the edge of the square.

all around is almost all people, and the sound of hawking can be heard everywhere around the square. The lively atmosphere made the cat hugged by Shade tightly shrink into his arms. Shade knew that Mia was timid, but didn't expect to be so timid.

Therefore, he didn't bother to hang out in the square where the tents were erected, but went straight into the church.

Although preparations for Holy Prayer were very busy, when the festival really started, Augustus priest was more relaxed.

When Shade saw him, the old priest was in the last row of seats in the side hall of the church, listening to a middle-aged priest's Scripture Lecture.

Usually, even on Sundays, such a side hall of a church can only be filled with half of the people at most, but today not only were all full of believers, but some even had to stand against the wall. on the aisle.

Because she knew that Mia was good and wouldn't bark, Shade held it and stood next to the priest. The priest nods to Shade, signaling him to listen patiently.

So Shade stood here for twenty minutes, listening to the Scripture Lecture, which he wasn't very interested in. After that, I walked out with the priest along with the crowd.

It's lunchtime, and Augustus priest is hosting Shade at the church. During Holy Prayer, the church restaurant is open to some invited believers, and the meal is very rich, so Shade will take Mia out, wanting it to eat something good too.

During the meal, Shade did not forget to reveal that he had recently obtained a potion known as the "elixir", and asked Augustus priest to help identify it. The priest was very interested in this and took the potion passed by Shade at the dinner table, but did not identify it in the church:
"I need a few days, I will tell you immediately when there is news."

And after lunch, everything went according to plan. Outside the church is a lively celebration, and inside the church is a rather serious religious activity.

Shade was arranged to attend a small prayer meeting, in a room with thick cloth curtains, candles and aromatherapy, and prayed to [Mr. Dawn] with the believers. If this isn't a church, then this scene is standard cult ceremony.

Afterwards, together with Augustus priest and a group of other visitors, they watched the baptism of three selected three-year-old children from senior believer families. The baptism of Shade in the steam age has already been experienced once, and this time is even more solemn. In addition to high-power gas lamps, steam pipes were also used to spray steam mist, making the entire venue foggy.

This scene is not ridiculous. The solemn and solemn architecture of the church, the stained glass, and the religious frescoes above the head are all perfectly combined with the hazy feeling of steam fog. This made the reporters taking pictures on the side very excited, and also made everyone present become wet.

Except Mia, who was hidden in her clothes by Shade.

Shade just needs to follow Augustus priest in the church. The old priest is in a very good mood today. Between events, he also took Shade to see a new oil painting hanging in the church hallway.

The large-scale oil painting, framed in gilt, is located in the corridor leading from the main auditorium to the eastern wing. The color of the picture is relatively dark, and there is no blank space in the whole painting. People wearing various colored dresses form a circle around the picture, and the center of the picture is outlined with light brush marks on the ground stone bricks. Carriage, the carriage car window has a beautiful and elegant woman's face, and two people are standing on the right side of the picture.

One holds a pistol, the other opens his arms in front of him.

The person with open arms can almost be regarded as standing in the center of the picture, and is painted by the artist with the most delicate brushstrokes. Using ink and color, the head of the man in the oil painting seems to be under a beam of light, making him seem to be bathed in holy light. People who watch the oil painting can see at a glance that this is the protagonist in the picture.

"This is."

Auguspriest laughed, causing the wrinkles to build up on his face, and he was in a really good mood.

Shade couldn't help but smile as he bent down to check the nameplate of the painting. There are two lines on the nameplate, the top line records the date the oil painting was hung here, and the bottom line reads:

【The Blessed World-1853 Holy Prayer Memorial】

"How about it? It was painted the day before yesterday, and it was hung here just before Holy Prayer. When you didn't come in the morning, there were reporters taking pictures here. Maybe this painting will appear in the newspaper tomorrow. "

Auguspriest said.

Shade has nothing to be dissatisfied with. It is a good thing that what he has experienced is remembered by others.

He just asked curiously:

"Will this painting hang here forever?"

Shade only remembered that the scene was very noisy, and there was no such thing as in the oil painting. It was sacred and solemn, and it didn't feel as though he was about to sacrifice for some noble cause.

"It may be several decades, you don't have to worry, I know you don't want more people to know what you look like, so the face on this painting is not very similar to you. In addition, Queen Diana has also seen this painting and has given guidance to her appearance on the painting, she is also very satisfied with this painting."

The priest said while nodded, and then asked with a smile Said:

"Shade, how do you feel?"

Of course the outsider would never have imagined that he would leave his mark on the church in Tobesque for several decades in this way. :
"Does the church always find someone to paint this kind of oil painting?"

There are people coming and going behind the two, and the festive atmosphere infects everyone. It's just that no one can recognize that the protagonist on the wall is standing here and looking up at it.

"Of course, this kind of oil painting is only available when it is worth remembering. You just happened to save the queen, been seen by many people, and encountered the Holy Prayer Day. If it is an ordinary day, And what you're saving is the ordinary person, I'm afraid you need to get 18 shots in the street before you can."

The old priest shrugged and didn't continue. Although it sounds cruel, it's the reality.

Shade's speech was also in the wing, and the church had prepared a speech and asked him to speak without it. Although the foreigner was busy with the exam last week and had no time to memorize the manuscript, but with "her" there, Shade read it twice, and she was able to retell it roughly.

So, for the half-hour speech, Shade just followed the voice of her heart and translated the ancient language she used into the modern Delarion lingua franca.

The content of the speech is not new, the theme is "God loves the world, God blesses the world". Although the Five Gods Churches have nothing common with each other in their core teachings, they are all religious groups that persuade people to do good, and they use similar methods when promoting their churches.

The content of the speech is not very fresh, but the church writers have written the content fresh with great writing. It even incorporates the experience of the day Shade was shot, making the slightly didactic speech very appealing.

A person who can write a speech, whether in this world or in the hometown of foreigners, can be regarded as a scarce talent. Therefore, after the speech, Shade would like to ask Augustus priest to bring it with him. He, go meet the writer.

PS: Today's 1W is over, and tomorrow will be 1W. The banner of Fengtui is really ugly. Ask for a recommendation ticket and a monthly ticket.
