Chapter 82 God's Trial (Part 2)

God's Judgment, that is, God's Judgment. This kind of ceremony is only performed for the clergy and believers of God. It is a ceremony in which God personally examines the sinfulness of his clergy and believers.

The process of the ceremony is very sacred, but in fact, the preliminary preparations for the Divine Ceremony are not complicated. It was just that people cleaned the surroundings of the Goddess of Agriculture meticulously, and then asked everyone who entered the temple during the Divine Trial to bathe and change their clothes, waiting for the Divine Trial to begin.

Because Rika Town is located in a remote place, and the priests of the temple have always been very peaceful, so, in the history of Rika Town, it seems that there has never been such a thing as a divine order. When the news that the church sent someone to execute the divine judgment on Pastor Tennis, it immediately caused a great commotion in the town of Rika. This kind of ceremony usually only occurs when the situation is very serious and the suspect's crime is too bad. In this case, private investigation and settlement methods can no longer calm the impact of the incident, and only the judgment of the gods can be used to determine whether the person is guilty. Forgive me.

Curious people, as well as many adventurers, gathered outside the temple, wanting to watch the ceremony up close. This place is usually very quiet, but at this time, like a festival, there are suddenly many more people. Discussion. Exclamation. There are unbelievers, there are curious ones, in short, there are countless people who come with various purposes.

In front of them, the gate of the temple was closed, and when the first ray of sunlight hit the gate of the temple in the morning, the gate opened.

Soon, a white-robed priest came out of the temple. This was the accompanying priest Shasta. Under his gaze, everyone's voices suddenly fell silent. In the huge open space, only his voice kept ringing: "Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. The Divine Criticism Ceremony is about to begin. The Divine Criticism is about to arrive. If you make such noise, it will cause offense to the Gods. I know that everyone wants to know the results of the Divine Criticism, but the Divine Criticism is a thing. It is a very serious matter, and it is a ceremony of the church. It is not that the clergy are not allowed to enter and watch, and I am also sorry for this. So, everyone, please go back."

After finishing speaking, Priest Shaster saluted everyone, and then returned to the gate, and the gate slowly closed again after his figure disappeared.

"So, I can't go in and see, so why are you still here?" An adventurer scratched his head depressedly, then turned and left.

There are many people who have the same idea as him. Knowing that they couldn't go in, some people felt bored and turned back. However, there are also some people who are still standing outside the temple, wanting to wait for the results to get first-hand news.

A carriage, just outside the crowd, parked there quietly. Around the carriage, there were a few strong men who were carefully watching their surroundings.

"Master Baron, are you going back?" A strong man walked up to the carriage and asked softly.

A somewhat depressed voice sounded from the carriage. "If you don't go back, just wait for the result here. The second lady is also in there?"

"Yes, all priests in the small town are required to participate in the divine order ceremony. The second lady is now a second-level priest and an assistant priest of the temple, so she will naturally be inside." The strong man replied.

"In that case, just wait here, wait for the second lady to come out, and then go back together." The baron said sullenly in the carriage.

At this moment, in the carriage, the baron was in a very complicated mood. In his own territory, such a priest committed a crime. It not only provoked the Adventurer's Union to send investigators, but also alarmed the attention of the church. He didn't need to think about it to know that in the near future, within a thousand miles, the incident in Rika Town would definitely become a joke among other nobles. He wasn't taken seriously at all. He was a lord in such a remote place, and now he was going to be the laughing stock of other people's gossip. Naturally, he was in a bad mood at this time.

And like him,

At this moment, of course, there is another person who is in a very bad mood and full of fear, and that is the protagonist of the Divine Ceremony, Priest Tennis.

Outside the temple, the crowd gathered and refused to leave. In the temple, at this time, all the priests had come to the statue of the goddess of agriculture.

The divine judgment is about to begin.

"Tenis, have you heard what I said just now? Since you can no longer use secular means to clear yourself of the crime, then let God judge." Anni, the fifth-level pastor sent by the church, Tas stood opposite Tennis, looked at the ashen-faced Priest Tennis, and said.

"I..." Pastor Tennis's lips trembled, trying to say something, but he couldn't say anything after all.

Priest Shaster looked at it with a sneer, and joy emerged in his heart. As long as he fell down, he would be able to become the head priest of a temple.

"Okay, all priests, please join me now to welcome the arrival of the goddess..." Anitas, the fifth-level priest, no longer looked at Tenis, but knelt down on the ground, facing the statue of the goddess with an extremely devout expression, and mouthed He began to mutter something in his heart - this is a unique prayer to ask the gods, which can quickly attract the attention of the goddess.

At the same time, other priests also fell to their knees, including Pastor Tennis who was kneeling on the ground.

As the fifth-level priest Anitas chanted louder and louder, gradually, a slight change appeared in the goddess of agriculture in front of everyone. First, a white light suddenly pierced the clouds in the sky, and shot down from above, covering On the statue of the goddess. Then, there was another white light, and another...

Soon, more than a dozen beams of light shot down from the sky, covering the stone statue, and a kind of sacred power began to spread around the goddess statue.

All the priests knew that the goddess was about to come, and they all prostrated themselves on the ground devoutly. Some priests who had done bad things even trembled slightly. Under the oppression of such a powerful force, the human spirit is so fragile.

At this time, the stone statue of the goddess also suddenly emitted a dazzling white light. Under the irradiation of more than a dozen white lights, the light of the god statue was not covered at all. Although the light emitted was powerful, it carried a sense of protection. It is not dazzling at all, not ostentatious at all, it is a soft light that will not be covered by other lights.

At this time, under the leadership of the fifth-level priest Anitas, the priests prayed to the goddess. And a powerful force, as the light of the Goddess of Agriculture gradually increased, began to scan the people present when the priests were praying.

Every priest who was scanned by this power, either pale or looked in awe, lowered their heads and trembled. Although the power of the Goddess of Agriculture is gentle and natural, whenever the souls of the people are swept across, those unsteady hearts of faith will become flustered under the sweep of power.

"Ah! Don't!" Suddenly, a terrified voice sounded, and everyone hurriedly looked up, and saw that one of the pastors, Pastor Tenis, suddenly screamed.

His hands and feet struggled desperately to cover them up, but they still couldn't stop the goddess from detecting him. Priest Shaster was overjoyed when he saw this. Some gods of the order camp will deal with them harshly, and there will always be a glimmer of life left. The most likely thing is that Priest Tennis was cut off to the third level and became a first-level priest again, but this life was saved.

But now he is so ugly, even resisting, no matter how tolerant the goddess is, she will not spare him. Sure enough, after a moment, the aura that all priests have shrouded in Priest Tennis immediately went out.

This signified that Tennis no longer had the priest's unique aura. Although the crime and punishment were not clearly announced, the result was already very clear.

After being judged by God, Tennis's sins have been revealed, and before God, he also lost his grace and qualification as a pastor. Watching a fourth-level priest lose all his brilliance in an instant, this image immediately passed into the depths of everyone's soul.

God has ruled that there is only one way to die after Tennis loses the rank of priest. Priest Shasta was in joy, waiting for the goddess to leave with everyone, when an amazing scene happened again.

I saw a beam of light suddenly descending from the sky above Miss Alini.

"No way, Miss Alini also..." A trainee pastor was secretly surprised.

However, Anitas, the fifth-level priest, understood the meaning of the beam of light. He couldn't help but glanced at the woman covered by the beam of light in surprise, and nodded.

The brilliance did not deprive her of her divine grace, but instead, a green light emerged.

"Yes, it's God's grace! It's actually God's grace!" At this time, almost all the priests already knew the meaning of that beam of light! That is the coming of divine grace! People favored by God! When they looked at Alini again, the eyes of those trainee pastors showed envy and envy.

Only Pastor Shaster was dumbfounded, and his heart sank.

In the Divine Judgment Ceremony, there is actually someone who can be favored by God. This can definitely show that this person's beliefs are pious, and his heart is kind and pure. It is easier than others for reasons, and the weight in the church will be heavier than that of ordinary pastors. After all, those who can be favored by the goddess will have an unlimited future.

The beam of light disappeared quickly, and Miss Alini seemed to have known the goddess' favor for her, and once again, deeply worshiped the statue of the goddess.

And after the divine judgment ceremony, the gate of the temple was opened, and the news that Priest Tennis had lost his qualifications as a priest and was convicted by the gods quickly spread throughout the entire town of Rika.

"I now declare that Tennis was convicted of murder and sentenced to death. Come and drag him to the gate of the town. I don't want to see this guy for a moment. He will be hanged immediately." The baron who was waiting outside the temple heard After seeing the result of the divine judgment, Tennis was sentenced to death on the spot.

"I also want to announce one thing now, a good thing, whether it is for Rika Town or for the church, this is a good thing. Miss Alini, please come to me." Anitas The pastor said to Alini with a smile.

When Alini walked in front of him, Pastor Anitas announced on the spot that Miss Alini was appointed as the acting chief priest of the temple in Rika Town, and announced to everyone that she had received divine grace.

If it wasn't because Alini was too young and hadn't reached the third level, she could be appointed as the presiding priest of the temple in this town immediately.
