1243: Chapter 29: Denia’s Blessing 1243: Chapter 29: Denia’s Blessing “This is…
a blessing from our Lord, everything went very smoothly indeed.” The two elders devoutly bowed before the Holy Light, continuously tracing a square across their chests, offering their reverence to the Holy Light equivalent to Denia descending, while the apprentice beside them seed to be witnessing such a miracle for the first ti and had utterly frozen.
It wasn’t until Pannis discreetly kicked him from behind that he rembered what he should be doing at that mont, hurriedly following behind Ankava and Elisa to pay respects to the Holy Light, thus avoiding the fate of being scolded by the old high priest later.
“However, why did it happen so quickly?” Elisa exclaid, “This is truly beyond expectation, I have never seen such speed.”
“What’s the matter?” Ankava noticed his old partner looking astonished and couldn’t help asking in a low voice, “Was it really fast?
How long has Lina been in there?”
“She just went in five minutes ago, that’s incredibly fast,” Elisa said bewilderedly, “Historically, the nuns serving the Lord, even those most favored by the goddess, would spend at least twenty minutes in prayer during such an occasion before receiving a response from the goddess, who would then bestow her blessings upon them.
Lina received the goddess’s approval in just five minutes, and also received the direct Divine Grace as a response, which is simply the highest honor.
But why is this?
Is it because the child is so favored by the goddess, or is it because…”
“Eh?
Why are you looking at ?” Pannis noticed the two elders’ gazes shifting from the divine miracle in the air to him.
Being stared at by such eager and scrutinizing eyes, Pannis said bewilderedly, “Are you trying to ask why?
Don’t be joking, I don’t even know what exactly has happened, how could I possibly have answers for you?
I’ve told you to stop staring at like that, I really don’t know anything, hey hey, I might just run away if you keep this up.”
“What…
exactly is going on?” Ankava said tremulously, “Are you truly not a follower of the church?
I don’t an whether you’ve formally joined the church, but just as a believer, are you really not one?”
“I told you I don’t know what’s happened,” Pannis said helplessly, “And I really don’t worship Denia, though I am thankful to her, but gratitude and worship are two different things.
The deity I worship is Lord Yarra, father deity, you should understand now.”
The corners of the elders’ eyes twitched, choosing not to comnt on Pannis’s beliefs.
In the Yarran World, almost everyone worships one or more deities as a spiritual haven.
As the primordial deity, Yarra, of course, is among those worshipped.
However, Lord Yarra’s existence is far too remote, and he never responds to the prayers and calls of his followers.
Therefore, those who truly worship Lord Yarra are mostly the deities residing in the Divine Kingdom and the Guardians born to enact Yarra’s will.
Mortals who really worship Lord Yarra are almost nonexistent.
For a mortal, to declare faith in Lord Yarra represents either extre arrogance or supre confidence; they believe that the deities are not worthy of their worship, only the omnipotent Lord Yarra deserves their adoration.
Thus, when a mortal claims to only worship the father deity Yarra, it often indicates that subconsciously, they’ve elevated themselves to the sa status as the deities, naturally attracting peculiar glances from other mortals.
“So it turns out you are a follower of the father deity.” Ankava looked at Pannis, then turned to the gradually dissipating Divine Grace, chuckling bitterly, “And it seems that the goddess herself has acknowledged your eligibility to worship the father deity, without any…
dissatisfaction?”
“Why did you use a question again?” Pannis said discontentedly, “Every ti I hear you use a question, I get nervous, always feeling like you’re about to grill with more questions.
And why shouldn’t Denia acknowledge it?
I’ve bowed and paid respects to her, and even though I’ve secretly despised her for her nasty character and being too harsh on young Lina and Betty, uh, in this situation, can Denia hear everything I’m saying?”
“Yes.” The two elders were looking at Pannis as if he were a monster, and when they heard the sudden question he raised, they nodded vehently, “He can definitely hear you, which ans you are blaspheming right to His face.”
“Ha, ha, ha, what lovely weather today, Lady Denia,” Pannis chuckled awkwardly, then whispered, “Is it a bit late for to run away and hide now?”
“Yes.” The elders nodded vigorously again, “It’s already too late, and since my lord’s will is omnipresent, you have nowhere to escape, and Divine Punishnt has nowhere to hide.”
“Hahaha, is that so?” Pannis’s eyes darted around, as if he were actually searching for a hiding spot, “You know, I just rembered that I dug a big hole on my lawn this morning.
It might be better to go back and fill it up to prevent soone from accidentally falling into it.
Yes, that’s right, so I’ll be taking my leave first.
Could you let Lina know for , uh, it’s dangerous, I’m hiding.”
“You!
Always ssing with Uncle Ankava and Aunt Elisa, unforgivable.” Lina, her eyes sparkling with delight as if she had heard the entire conversation outside, suddenly burst through the doors of the prayer room with a flying kick to express her excitent, “When will you ever get serious?
And you’re getting too bold, even daring to speak ill of Lady Denia right to her face.
The Goddess has tasked to punish you on her behalf.”
“Ah, so this ti Divine Punishnt cos in this form?
Truly, there’s no escape.” Pannis, holding his head, deftly dodged the girl’s flying kick and laughed heartily with a hand on his hip, “Too naive, even Divine Punishnt can’t hit , ow!
That hurts.”
“Serves you right.” Lina withdrew her foot from stepping on Pannis’s foot, snorted with a wrinkled nose, but her joy seed impossible to hide as she flirtatiously rolled her eyes at Pannis, then turned around and threw her arms around the elders, joyfully saying, “Uncle Ankava, Aunt Elisa, I’m back.
The Goddess quickly granted my prayers and even bestowed her blessings on .”
“We saw it all.” The elders said with beaming smiles, “Under the Lord’s blessing, you will surely be happy, so when do you plan to hold the ceremony?”
“That will take a long ti,” Lina said with a flushed face, “And even if we hold the ceremony, it has to be at the main temple in Neville City, but I’ll bring you all with when the ti cos.”
“So, who’s going to tell , what exactly are we talking about?” Pannis said to the hapless apprentice beside him, “Do you know?”
