Chapter 613 Gathering Prayers

Author: Fierce Male Hamster

"Follow your inner throbbing and find your original intention."

After the conversation between the seven pigeons, Smit, dressed in the costume of a saint, walked in the main castle of Glory City, frowning and thinking hard.

She understood what Qi Ge said, but she didn't know what to do.

"What is the throbbing in my heart and my original intention?"

Smit walked to the observation tower on the top of the castle and looked at Glory City.

The entire Rongguang City stands among green mountains and green waters under the gray sky.

The walls of Glory City tower into the clouds, like an indestructible barrier. Smit can't help but think of those heroic warriors in the holy war. They wore strong armor, brandished sharp swords and spears, and faced the terrifying hell troops.

Charge into battle.

Inside the Rongguang City Castle, there was a thick atmosphere filling the air.

This castle, which has been built for hundreds of years, has witnessed several changes in Erathia.

White stone floors, thick stone walls and tall gryphon towers came into Smit's eyes.

She turned her head and saw the familiar Knight Academy.

When she was a child and had just arrived in Glory City with her father Luo Shi, before even the Aihua La collar was established, she often learned equestrian skills there from Butler Albert Lar.

Opposite the Knight Academy is the church in Glory City.

Smit couldn't help but think of the scene she saw in this church.

An old woman gave all her savings to the monks of the church in order to treat her son's illness.

The greedy monk hero just used a magic to expel disease and collected a whole gold coin.

But expelling the disease could not completely cure her son's illness, and the old woman could only come again and again.

Smit witnessed with his own eyes that with just a minor illness, a small wealthy businessman family who opened a fruit shop in Rongguang City suddenly became abject poverty, and even the store became the property of the church.

And the old woman knelt down in front of the church with tears streaming down her face, thanking the monks for their kindness.

This puzzled Smit, who grew up in Bracada.

However, after releasing several banishing diseases that cost 8 magic points, how could he occupy a shop?

Her mother treated poor people without even receiving gifts.

From that moment on, Smit made a vow that if his father established a territory, he would not let such a thing happen to the people of the territory.

"Dong dong dong!"

"Expel the evil cult, defend the queen, the holy sky is dead, and the blue sky will stand."

At this moment, Smit saw a group of soldiers in armor marching in formation outside the castle. They held spears and shields, marched in neat steps, and shouted the slogans of the Holy Gryphon Church.

On the street, passers-by dressed in simple and plain clothes cheered at the advancing soldiers with smiles on their faces.

In the shops next to the street, merchants were busy doing business. They held the flags and new doctrines of the Holy Gryphon Church in their hands and loudly sold them to passers-by.

The flag and new doctrine of the Holy Gryphon Church were subsidized by Catherine's treasury, and the price was very cheap. It only cost 1 silver coin in total, which was equivalent to three days of food expenses for a commoner under normal circumstances.

With the flag and the new doctrine, you can go to the Griffin Tower to receive two pumpkin pies and a potato, which can be eaten for a week.

Poseidon Church provided money, Catherine provided efforts, God's Chosen City provided food, and Griffin Cliff provided griffins to show off their cuteness.

The four companies joined forces and quickly made the name of the Holy Gryphon Church deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

A few days ago, every vendor's stall was full, and people were scrambling for fear of not being able to grab one.

It wasn't until everyone had gone through it in the past two days that the order on the streets became better.

This picture of Glory City is a beautiful scenery for Smit.

Its splendor and glory at this time made Smit couldn't help but feel the vicissitudes and heroic heroics of Erathia before.

"This is the new scenery brought to Elasia by Brother Qi Ge.

Brother Qi Ge is really amazing, what can I do to become as amazing as Brother Qi Ge?"

Smit pouted and recalled the day when he awakened to the path of heroism.

“That was the time when silk was harvested for the first time in the territory.

Under the leadership of his mother, the territory has its own special silk.

Part of this raw silk can be sold to improve the living conditions of the villagers, and the other part can be used as tribute to exchange with Her Majesty Catherine for the design drawings of the velvet textile workshop.

Raw silk and velvet are both high-priced specialties. Once it reaches a certain scale, Aihua collars can truly stabilize.

However, before the raw silk could be sold, a group of monks from the church arrived.

In the name of the angel tribe's need for raw silk, they forced the father and mother to donate raw silk to the church.

That greedy and arrogant look makes me extremely disgusted.

In the end, although we managed to save some of the raw silk with the help of Uncle Mulak, more than half of it was still robbed.

With the velvet workshops gone, the living standards of the residents can only be slightly improved.

Later, the church failed to fully fulfill its wish and even issued an order prohibiting my mother from treating the people in the territory free of charge on the pretext that she was not a member of the clergy.

All kinds of difficulties made me extremely angry when I was young.

From that moment on, I made up my mind.

This kind of church should not exist.

When I was young, I thought that the church would become like this because the angels they believed in were bad.

Angels are not worth believing in, Erathia, you should believe in the goddess of destiny with me.

Luck and misfortune are all fate.

In front of the great goddess of fate, both good and evil will have their retribution.

So, at that time, I had an idea in my mind to establish a new church to replace Shengtian Church.

This obsession is so big and strong that I even successfully awakened to the path of a hero when I was still underage.

However, at that time, I was naive and did not realize how difficult this path of heroism would be."

Thinking of this, Smit's eyes couldn't help but gleam with water.

"When the holy war began, a group of arrogant monks and bishops broke into the castle.

With orders for compulsory conscription in their hands, and escorted by a group of crusaders, they arrogantly ordered their father to participate in the holy war.

Their arrival eventually took away their father, the army in the territory, and the few griffons in the territory.

After that, the recruitment orders one after another seemed to force the leader Aihua, who had just improved a little, to vomit his heart out and spit out his blood.

Yes, just like the monk hero did to the old woman.

And there is absolutely nothing I can do about all this.

Even the father I admire, the mother I love most, and Sir Mrak, who is invincible in my heart, are no match for the church.

I can only bury my wishes and obsessions in the darkness and do my best to help the villagers survive those difficult days."

Smit looked outside Glory City.

Outside the castle, there are green grass and flowers in full bloom. Red flowers and blue flowers bloom on the white mud ground, which is so beautiful.

Mountains and forests are vaguely visible in the distance, and groups of cattle and sheep are grazing leisurely on the grass.

A knight rode a tall horse, held a spear, and held a large flag as he galloped past, leaving a long trail of dust and smoke behind him.

"It's father!"

Smit smiled.

In the past few days, Luo Shi, the new city lord of Rongguang City, will patrol various branches of Rongguang City holding the [Gryphon Angel Flag] of the Holy Gryphon Church as he does now.

This was not only a way of cheering for his daughter, but also an announcement to the entire Glory City area that the world of Erathia had changed.

"Brother Qige is really amazing."

Smit touched the blond hair on his chest and sighed in his heart.

"When I understood what a behemoth the Holy Sky Church was, I realized how ridiculous my original idea was.

I didn't even dare to tell my father and mother the truth about my own heroic path.

But I don’t know why, but I told Brother Qige about my dream and mission.

And he really helped me achieve it.

Now, with the help of Brother Qige, I have completed the road of heroism, established a new church, and destroyed the Holy Sky Church.

I also became a saint of the Holy Gryphon Church.

But……"

Smit lowered his head and looked at the streets of Glory City.

Old farmers, small traders, craftsmen, soldiers...these people who used to live extremely poor lives in Erathia are now smiling.
