"So that’s how it is." After hearing her explanation, the civilians finally had a sudden realization.
Then soone else asked: "By the way, is the statue of Gaia God taller than the statue of forr Emperor Sigma?"
Upon hearing this, the civilians imdiately looked at the Catastrophe ssenger curiously. Their thoughts were simple: whoever’s statue is taller has higher status, and this would indirectly affect the status of governnt and clergy mbers.
The Catastrophe ssengers then asked Morgan and Le Cheng about this issue. Le Cheng thought they didn’t understand Gaia, while they felt it was very necessary because Le Cheng didn’t understand the national situation.
This Catastrophe ssenger was prepared and smiled, "The statue of Gaia God is twenty-five ters tall, but since the lower part of Her leg is rooted underground, only twenty ters of the statue is visible aboveground, which is the sa height as that of forr Emperor Sigma."
"Huh?"
Before the crowd could react, she spoke again, "The Divine Envoy told us that though Gaia is a deity, She does not compete for glory with mortals. Whether people believe in Her or not, Her power will blend into every piece of land, protecting all the subjects on this great earth. At the sa ti, the Divine Envoy also admonished us clergy, not to compare ourselves with others lightly. The clergy only need to do their duty, gently spreading Gaia’s love and warmth to everyone. That alone is the greatest honor, because... the earth will protect us."
Hearing this, the civilians ca to their senses and imdiately burst into enthusiastic applause.
Seeing the pleased expressions on the civilians’ faces, the Catastrophe ssenger smiled slightly. Although Le Cheng had never said such words, she believed this must be the Divine Envoy’s intention. Otherwise, when they argued about the height of the statues before, the other party wouldn’t have shown that kind of expression. It seems her understanding is quite high.
Then, she pointed to one side, "Everyone, after visiting the statue of Gaia God, you can go over there to receive the Church’s blessings, and you might even have a chance to receive a special blessing from the Divine Envoy."
"Special blessing? What is that?" soone curiously asked.
"That, I cannot reveal. You’ll experience it on your own."
Watching the mysterious expression of the Catastrophe ssenger, everyone’s curiosity was piqued, and they imdiately walked over to the side.
There were about a dozen church staff there, each standing in front of two large boxes, one black and one white.
Seeing soone approaching, a staff mber imdiately smiled and said, "Everyone, would you like to draw a blessing?"
"Blessing... how do you draw?"
"This white box is the permanent blessing box, the black box is the limited blessing box."
"Permanent? Limited? What’s the difference?"
"Do we have to pay?"
"So strange..."
Facing everyone’s inquiries, the staff explained with a smile, "Whether it’s the permanent box or the limited box, you don’t need to spend money, you just need your sincerity. For the permanent box, just by coming here, each person can draw once. However, for the limited box, you need more sincerity. If you bring your friends and family to visit the statue of Gaia, each person you bring gives you one more chance to draw from the limited box. The more people you bring, the more chances you have."
"Moreover, although both boxes contain the sa blessings, the limited box contains more blessings from the Divine Envoy, and if your sincerity is sufficient, you might even have the chance to beco a mber of our church."
"Really? Such a good deal?" Upon hearing this, people were imdiately stunned. Becoming a mber of the church ant what? It ant being officially recognized!
"I’ll go first!"
After the staff finished speaking, soone couldn’t wait any longer and reached into the white box, pulling out a white slip of paper.
And as he unfolded the slip of paper, a flash of golden light appeared, and on it was boldly written — Wishing you good health!
Soon after, the slip turned into warm white light and entered the body of this person.
Clap clap clap!
While he was still baffled, the staff around him had already happily started applauding, "Congratulations, you’ve drawn a rare golden blessing."
"What use is his blessing?" he asked blankly.
The staff counter-asked, "Please tell, before this, was your body not quite healthy, for example, occasional back pain or such?"
"Indeed, because of work, my shoulders have been uncomfortable, sotis suddenly losing strength... Huh?" The man nodded, moving his arms while speaking, but soon his face showed confusion, then joyfully exclaid, "It’s gone! I no longer feel pain in my waist or shoulders, I feel like I could even carry a whole cow with no problem!"
The staff smiled and said, "This is the value of a rare golden blessing. The sentence you just saw is actually the written form of a Healing Skill, and when you opened it, it healed the ailnts in your body."
Healing Spell?!
Upon hearing this, the crowd imdiately widened their eyes in astonishnt.
Due to the presence of the Catastrophe Legion, the Imperial Capital’s warriors were almost constantly in a state of readiness, which accentuated the importance of Healers. Although healing spells are not omnipotent, if administered in a tily manner, they can not only save the lives of warriors but even restore their combat abilities in a short ti. Hence, anyone with healing abilities, be it Mages or Catastrophe ssengers, were highly compensated and assigned within the military.
Due to the military’s extre demand, there was an almost complete absence of Healers among the civilians.
After all, the importance of the military goes without saying; the sa healing spell could be used to heal an ordinary person’s accidentally broken leg or a warrior’s severed arm, and anyone could make that decision easily. Frankly speaking, using precious Healing Skills on ordinary civilians is seen as a waste, since because of the limits on spiritual power, each Healer can perform only a limited number of Healing Spells in their lifeti.
Thus, upon hearing about the Healing Spell, these people were so astonished; they never imagined they could experience a Healing Skill in their lifeti.
For ordinary people, even the lowest level of Healing Skill could instantly restore a sub-healthy person back to healthy state.
Watching this lucky individual who drew a Healing Skill boasting non-stop about his healthy body, others couldn’t sit still and reached for the white treasure chest, yet most only drew regular blessings.
Of course, so didn’t draw from the permanent chest but imdiately turned and ran outside.
"Hey, where are you going? Not drawing a blessing?"
"No way! There aren’t many people now, I need to get all my family and friends, I want to draw a limited-ti blessing!"
"Damn, why didn’t I think of that, wait for !"
Thus, those who had finally co to their senses imdiately started calling their friends.
Draw from the limited-ti box, win the grand prize, get enlisted!
In no ti, the entire Imperial Capital square beca incredibly lively.
anwhile, in so places, so converts who had joined the Catastrophe Legion were caught in a dilemma. On one hand, they wanted to know who this so-called Gaia God really was, and on the other hand, they worried that visiting the statue openly would expose their identities.
Even though Gaia had not yet descended, after all, it was a statue of a deity, who knew if it possessed so special power?
But gradually, as cries of "miracles" continuously ca from the Imperial Capital square, they began to beco restless.
If the deity was fake, they should try to disrupt the celebration; if the deity was real, they could not simply ignore it.
After so hesitation, these people decided to take a risk to find out.
However, just as they entered the Imperial Capital square, suddenly an excited voice ca from ahead.
"I won! Haha! I won!"
Damn it, what did you win?!
The converts thought furiously.
