Chapter 603-102- The Second Miracle
After communicating with the Guardian Staff, Charlotte quickly made the decision to rescue.
but……
"Guardian Staff, I can sense that more and more divine weapons have been opened in the Holy City, and the Sun Temple's surveillance of me seems to be getting stricter. I'm afraid I can't use divine power directly to rescue."
"Since I have already saved the dean once in my last reincarnation, can you tell me how I saved him then?"
Charlotte asked.
"Your Majesty, in your last reincarnation, the relationship between you and the Temple of the Sun was not so tense, and they did not doubt your identity as they do today, so... you simply hid your identity and quietly rescued the target."
"Of course, that's why your actions were exposed during the subsequent investigation, triggering a series of hidden dangers..."
"However, compared to your last reincarnation, you now have a significant advantage. That is, the divine power that you only mastered when the Holy Day of Advent arrived last time... you are now able to use it skillfully."
"In order to cheat history, we cannot rashly change the predetermined results, but we can change the process."
"So…I think you can use this to your advantage this time!"
Said the Guardian Staff.
"Use my divine power..."
夏洛特喃喃自语。
Suddenly, she had an idea and asked:
"I remember... tomorrow is Sunday, right?"
The Guardian Staff nodded:
"Yes."
"Is there a service at the Holy Palace on Sunday?"
The summer solstice road.
"Of course, every Sunday is the largest gift to the Holy Palace in a week."
The Guardian Staff replied respectfully.
Summer solstice incident, laughter road:
"If that's the case, I actually have a better idea that can both save the other party and further strike at the Temple of the Sun."
"But... this requires a bit of acting, and I need your cooperation."
The Guardian Staff nodded and said respectfully:
"If you need anything, I will definitely assist you with all my strength!"
……
The next morning.
The golden sunlight penetrated the mist as gently as a thread, lightly brushing the platinum spire of the Holy Palace, coating it with a layer of light golden glow.
In the solemn and dignified temple, priests and maids were busy moving in the corridors and halls, preparing for many matters related to routine worship.
Today is Sunday.
In the creation myth of the Holy Court, it is the day for the holy believers to worship routinely.
In the main hall of the Holy Palace.
Priests from various churches in the holy city gathered here, and the spacious and tall hall was packed with clergymen.
Everyone was eagerly waiting for the service to begin. Their eyes were all scanning the front of the main hall, whispering to each other, looking for the rumored figure:
"Today is Sunday, Her Highness the Saint should be attending the service, right?"
"It's hard to say. Her Highness the Saint has been staying indoors for several days. Maybe she is still praying alone in the side hall today."
"That's such a pity! When Her Highness the Saint first arrived, I was out of town doing relief work, so I missed the chance to meet her. I was hoping to have the honor of seeing her face today!"
"God, please help me! Why are there so many clergymen at the Holy Palace today? Are you all here for Her Majesty the Saint?"
"What else? That's the first Saint Lady to cause a miracle in decades!"
"Yes, Her Highness the Saint is not only the agent of the Lord God, but also the Queen of Falling Star. In the 1,400 years since the establishment of our Holy Royal Court, there has never been a Saint with such power in the secular world. It is natural for everyone to be curious."
"I heard that Her Highness the Saint's divine power is comparable to that of the Chief High Priest. During the Falling Star, she even used her divine power to judge a fallen High Priest!"
"More than that. If Her Highness the Saint hadn't come to the Holy City, our Theocracy would not have discovered that so many high-ranking priests in the Holy Palace had already apostatized!"
"Praise the Holy One! The arrival of Her Highness the Saint must be the guidance of our Lord!"
“赞美神圣！”
"..."
The priests talked in low voices, and some of the fanatical believers were so excited that they drew the holy cross emblem on their chests.
When all the seats in the hall were filled, the cardinal in charge of today's Holy Palace ceremony walked toward the altar where the statue was enshrined, surrounded by a group of high-ranking priests.
The priests immediately looked over, and when they saw that the cardinal had no one with him, their expectant eyes were immediately replaced by regret.
"Only the Cardinal..."
"It seems that Her Highness the Saint is still in seclusion praying today. What a pity..."
The cardinal who presided over the service took in all the priests' expressions.
He coughed lightly and said:
"Her Highness the Saint has announced several days ago that she will withdraw from the world to pray. I will be in charge of the grand ceremony at the Holy Palace today."
Although they had already made some guesses, when the cardinal informed them that Her Royal Highness the Saint would still not show up today, the priests in the hall could not help but reveal disappointment and regret.
Some elderly priests even sighed, and the atmosphere in the entire hall seemed to have become much more bleak.
"Ahem, the auspicious time has arrived. Close the temple door. The worship service is about to begin!"
The Cardinal cleared his throat and spoke loudly.
Upon receiving the order, the Templars guarding the temple gates were to close the gates.
However, just as they were about to act, the panicked and surprised voice of the priest in charge of guiding them came from outside the hall:
“Her Highness…the Saint?! Um…er…! Her Highness…the Saint is here—!”
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly changed.
All sorts of glances, some curious, some surprised, some gloomy, some excited, were cast over.
Golden sunlight poured down from the towering stained glass windows, turning into colorful rain of light, sprinkling on the solemn and sacred gate of the temple.
In the bright light, a girl with blonde hair, blue eyes and a holy dress walked in slowly.
Her appearance is delicate and charming, and her graceful figure is like an angel walking out of the morning light. Every step she takes follows the rhythm of light, light and solemn.
Her golden hair was like the purest silk, shining with a soft and dazzling luster in the sun, gently draped over her shoulders, swaying gently in the wind, with an indescribable holiness and elegance.
Her clear blue eyes are deep and bright, as if they can see into the deepest secrets of human heart. They are also like a deep ocean, containing endless tenderness and wisdom.
At that moment, the entire hall fell silent.
It was the cardinal standing on the altar who reacted first. He coughed lightly, awakening the clergy from their amazement at first glance, and then said respectfully:
"Your Highness, why are you here?"
Charlotte glanced at the Cardinal, and then smiled a holy and moving smile:
"Today is the great service in the Holy Palace. As a saint, of course I have to attend. Why, I can't attend?"
The Cardinal Priest said quickly:
"Um, no... Of course you can attend... It's just that you didn't notify us in advance, so we haven't had time to prepare a special place for you..."
Charlotte smiled and shook her head gently:
"The worship service does not depend on one's status. Your Excellency Cardinal Priest, you can continue to preside over the service. I will just listen to the prayers with the other clergymen under the altar."
After saying that, Charlotte took a step and entered the hall.
Her steps were light and graceful, and each step seemed to leave a faint glow in the hall, which was the overflow of divine power.
The priests suddenly became solemn.
Their eyes involuntarily focused on this famous saint, and then they bowed in greeting. The sound of their robes fluttering and the low sounds of prayers intertwined, and the entire hall was filled with murmurs of praise.
After a slight hesitation, the Knights Templar restrained their sharpness, knelt on one knee, and saluted Charlotte with the highest etiquette of knighthood.
In the corners of the hall, some priests and church knights had flickering eyes and exchanged hints with each other through eye contact.
"Why did she come here suddenly?"
"Keep an eye on her! And... report to the Chief Neon and the Chief Judge!"
Several priests moved quietly to the corner of the hall and then left the chapel through a side door.
Charlotte glanced at them casually, pretending that she didn't see their little movements.
Arriving at the altar, she smiled again at the cardinal priest in charge of the worship and said:
"Your Excellency, can the service...begin?"
The Cardinal Priest had recovered from his shock. He nodded, made a cross on his chest, and said with a smile:
"Of course, Your Highness, you are welcome to join us in the worship."
The commotion caused by the saint's sudden arrival was quickly quelled and the service continued.
The main seat at the front and bottom of the altar naturally became the place where Charlotte prayed.
The melodious sound of the organ slowly rose, and the holy and solemn hymns echoed in the empty hall, like the whisper of an angel, penetrating everyone's heart.
The cardinal priest quickly got into the state.
He raised his hands high, his expression solemn and fanatical, his eyes filled with endless awe and piety towards the gods:
"Praise the Holy One! Praise the Lord! May your glory walk on earth as it does in heaven!"
A deep and magnetic voice sounded, and the cardinal led the worship ceremony.
And beneath the altar, the priests began to pray silently.
However... everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall on Charlotte again.
Charlotte knelt before the statue.
She folded her hands, closed her eyes and concentrated. The sound of her prayer was clear and gentle, like a clear spring flowing in the mountains or the brightest stars in the night sky.
As she prayed, the whole space seemed to be shrouded in a mysterious and solemn atmosphere; even the air seemed to become heavy and sacred.
Points of light bloomed on her body and soon turned into golden photons, dancing and swirling around the girl.
At the same time, the majestic and solemn statue of the God seemed to come alive, and a holy light spread over the statue. Within a few breaths, the entire hall was filled with sacred power.
Under the golden light, all the priests seemed to see a towering temple, a magnificent hall, a golden throne, and a figure shrouded in holy light sitting high on the throne...
The divine light shone on everyone. At that moment, everyone felt the divine power in their bodies begin to throb involuntarily, as if resonating with the brilliant holy light.
The priests were surprised to find that their sensitivity to the divine power had increased unprecedentedly at this moment, and even the divine power in their bodies increased.
A feeling of holiness, peace, harmony, and warmth continued to spread in their hearts, and those experienced and experienced priests quickly reacted, showing excitement:
"Miracle! This is the miracle of our Lord!"
"Praise the Holy One! Praise our Lord! Her Highness the Saint has actually...actually caused a miracle once again!"
The priests were extremely excited. They looked at the shining statues and the saint with fanatical expressions and prayed continuously. Some sincere clergymen even had tears in their eyes and kept bowing.
However, just as the priests were praising enthusiastically, the sacred power in the hall suddenly changed!
Everyone only felt that the temple in the dark suddenly caught fire, and in the flames, it seemed as if someone was crying and wailing.
In the dim shadows, everyone seemed to see a crowded square, and in the center of the square, a figure with a divine glow all over his body was tied to a cross and burned in flames.
The golden light flickered, and a vast and majestic aura spread out, and as the light spread, there was also an angry roar that resounded through the soul.
"Boom--!"
A bell that struck people's hearts woke everyone up from this world that seemed both real and illusory.
The clergy were bewildered and found themselves sitting on the ground with tears on their faces.
In the temple, the holy light has disappeared.
The entire temple was surrounded by a deadly and cold atmosphere.
"Just now...did you see anything?"
"Square... I seem to see a square, it looks familiar..."
"It seems to be the Judgment of Holy Light... but the one being judged... seems... seems..."
The priests were talking among themselves, looking confused and uncertain.
"Kachacha..."
There was a slight sound.
Everyone looked up, and were horrified to find that the tall statue in the front made a series of sharp sounds and suddenly cracked!
"Cracked...cracked! The statue is cracked!"
"Divine punishment... This is divine punishment!"
The priests were terrified and kept praying and repenting to the statue.
On the altar, the cardinal who was in charge of leading the worship had already become dazed.
However, he quickly reacted, thinking back to what had just happened, and muttered in horror and panic:
"Do not……"
"The illusion of the Kingdom of God, the appearance of the Royal Court, this is the miraculous sign of our Lord conveying the oracle as recorded in the divine scriptures!"
"The oracle is warning... This is... This is the oracle warning from my Lord!"
"Something...something blasphemous has happened...something blasphemous has happened!"
God... a warning from the oracle?
Blasphemy?!
The priests' movements paused slightly.
Then, many people's minds flashed with the series of incomprehensible angry and majestic voices in the "illusion" just now, as well as the sacred shadow burning in flames in the square...
Their eyes widened, and then their gaze naturally focused on Charlotte.
In the Holy Court, only clergymen above the level of Cardinal Priest can discern oracles.
When the oracle appears, only the highest-ranking clergy can understand the revelation from the gods.
Under everyone's gaze, Charlotte slowly opened her eyes.
She sighed softly, and her pious face gradually became dignified:
"Oracle... warning! Within the Holy City, there is a pious Holy Light that is suffering injustice and betrayal!"
After that, she looked at everyone:
"Where are the Templars?"
The Templar Knights who were in charge of guarding the hall were stunned for a moment, then they all knelt on one knee and saluted respectfully.
Charlotte glanced at them and then ordered:
"We must not neglect the warning given by our Lord! Prepare the car and follow me to the place of the oracle!"
