Chapter 207
The night slowly passed by in the midst of revelry. A group of people slowly gathered and stayed in the square in an orderly manner.
At first, there were still sounds of conversation, as well as men and women tidying up their clothes as they walked out from secluded corners, but soon, everyone's faces began to appear holy, as if they were devout believers staring at the direction of the rising sun.
As the gentle light shone upon everyone, it felt as if their bodies and souls were being baptized. In front of the cathedral, a group of Red Sun Knights stood guard as the Archbishop of this parish of the Sun Shadow church prayed in a unique language.
His prayer wasn't particularly loud, but strangely enough, it reached everyone's ears, even the civilians at the foot of the mountain could hear the Archbishop's prayer.
The gentle sunlight of dawn gave everyone a sense of warmth. After a night of revelry, they could still hear the soft murmurs of the Archbishop, making everyone feel like they were in their mother's embrace, in a state where they were sleeping, but not yet asleep.
Most likely, after leaving the cathedral hill, they would immediately fall asleep as soon as they returned home.
Under this state, the Archbishop's original unique prayer slowly turned into a common language that everyone could understand.
"The light is always upon it, we are all lonely shadows"
"Only the Eternal One, the Undying One, and the Scorching One can save us."
"May the sun shine forever!" The Archbishop spread his palms, puffed out his chest and pulled in his stomach, then raised both hands high above his head, allowing the light to shine upon his body, making him appear even more dazzling.
"May the sun shine forever!" All of the residents of Lohr chanted those words at the same time, some of them even mimicked the Archbishop's gesture.
After the prayer ceremony was over, the Archbishop returned to the cathedral under the protection of the Red Sun Knights. The townspeople here no longer had any interest in talking, most of them just wanted to return home and have a good night's sleep, then wake up in the afternoon to work a bit more before returning to their stifled lives.
Negri silently observed the entire Soul Cleansing ceremony. The incantation that the Archbishop chanted at the very beginning triggered the power of the sunlight to perform a type of baptism on everyone here.
This was most likely a divine technique, a divine technique that was bestowed upon them by the people who believed in God.
Under this divine technique, it was able to alleviate some of the people's fatigue and illnesses, as well as provide feedback to the user of the divine technique.
For example, there was an old man among them. He reacted with the energy in the sunlight, causing the energy to mutate. It would not be long before the Church Knights or Night Watchers visited his mansion.
Even Negri, who was standing below, was swept by the energy in the sunlight. He could feel the characteristics of this energy. When it came into contact with a different kind of power, it would produce a reaction. Like a piece of red-hot iron falling into water, it would make a sizzling sound.
So, Negri retracted his interference force and allowed the energy to sweep through his germ body. Some of the germs died under this energy, but the germ body Negri had carefully created naturally wouldn't be defeated so easily.
After a batch of viruses died, many of the germs quickly adapted to this energy and began to adapt to it, quickly becoming immune to the damage of this energy. In fact, if there was more of this energy and it lasted for a longer time, Negri could even evolve germs that could use this energy to grow.
The outward appearance was that Negri's body wriggled a little, but it quickly returned to its original state. There were no abnormalities, and no abnormalities could be seen.
This so-called Spirit Cleansing Day is a bit interesting. Negri thought to himself. After a night of revelry, people's spirits would gradually weaken, and this state of mind would be the most suitable for hypnosis.
Through the Spirit Cleansing Day, firstly, it would relieve the irritated feelings that people had been suppressing for an entire month; secondly, it would display a mystical power and show off the church's power; thirdly, it would be a chance to investigate certain abnormal individuals; and lastly, it would be a brainwashing that would strengthen people's faith in Eternal Heat.
It could only be said that the Sun Shadow church's methods were quite brilliant. Of course, this was built on the fact that the Sun Shadow church was powerful enough to force everyone to participate in the Spirit Cleansing Ceremony.
On the other side, Lanshan was also experiencing the same thing. When the sunlight swept through her body, she felt a brief stinging sensation, but the ring on her finger then gave off a cooling aura that calmed all of the abnormalities without causing any abnormalities.
From this, it could be seen that the Farnate family was indeed hiding something. They must have quite a bit of understanding towards the formation of monsters and the cause of the blood of evil.
This is a point of entry, I should inform the lord later on. Lanshan thought, then boarded the horse carriage and returned to the Farnate manor.
Negri had further disguised his previous energy. After all, the elder brother of this body was an elite Red Sun Knight of the Sun Shadow church, and the other party wielded a Divine Technique, so it would be bad if he noticed anything amiss.
"It seems I'll need a proper reason to join the Sun Shadow church" Negri pondered: "However, even if I join the Sun Shadow church, I can only choose to be a Night Watcher"
The other departments had an extremely high requirement for faith, which was also the biggest problem for joining the Sun Shadow church. Faith.
As long as you had enough faith, even an idiot could become an elite of the Sun Shadow church. If you had a Saint Soul, then congratulations, you would immediately become a Holy Child, faith wouldn't even matter. On the other hand, if you didn't have enough faith and didn't have a Saint Soul, then sorry, no matter how talented you were, you wouldn't be able to become even the lowest-ranked priest.
Although Negri could distort part of his soul's thoughts to create faith, this would harm his own soul, and could easily be used by the so-called God to backstab him.
Although the Night Watchers were criticized by many, it was undeniable that this department was an important part of the Sun Shadow church.
"The only solution right now is to find a proper reason" Negri understood the original thoughts of his current identity. With his elder brother supporting him from above, he didn't have to worry about food or water in the parish, neither did he want to join the Sun Shadow church, nor did he want to go out to work, so he simply sat here and waited for his death, acting like a self-important trash who couldn't do anything at all.
If he appeared in modern society, Green would most likely become a contrarian, expressing a different opinion on everything, but when it came to actual actions, his performance would be nothing short of terrible.
Under normal circumstances, such a person would never choose to join the Night Watchers, and if he changed his identity, the chances of him being exposed would increase, and this Sun Shadow church still had a few tricks up its sleeve.
