Chapter 139 The cracked statue of the God of Light joins the Inquisition (two in one))

During the church baptism ceremony, one needs to kneel and kowtow three times to the statue of the God of Light.

But now, he has not completely knelt down.

This nearly five-meter-tall statue of the God of Light has a clearly visible crack from the shoulder to the chest.

The entire main hall of the church, hundreds of members of the Holy See, were silent.

It was so quiet here that you could hear the sound of embroidery needles falling to the ground.

No one knew why the statue of the God of Light suddenly cracked.

Even Bai Dingyang looked suspicious.

This situation has never occurred since the renovation of the Church of Light in Qiantian City.

"Could it be that Bai Dingyang cut corners to enrich himself, making the statue of poor quality? This is a shoddy project!"

Jiang Chen looked at the cracked statue and couldn't help but imagine it.

Moreover, the statue didn't crack earlier or later, but it cracked when he was performing the baptism ceremony.

It really made Jiang Chen numb.

"Bishop Bai?"

Jiang Chen really wanted to know what to do now.

"Ah? Oh!"

Bai Dingyang came back to his senses when he heard someone calling him.

He looked at the dazzling beam of light on Jiang Chen's body, hesitated for a moment, and gritted his teeth and said, "Saint Envoy Fanchen, let's continue the baptism ceremony!"

No matter what, Jiang Chen must join the church. There must be no mistakes in this matter, and it must be completed!

"One head knock!"

Bai Dingyang shouted loudly, regardless of whether Jiang Chen was kneeling or sitting stiffly.

Jiang Chen also landed on one knee, with the other leg half bent, and just leaned over and lowered his head.

Ka~

Kacha!

Before Jiang Chen completely lowered his head, another crisp sound came.

Jiang Chen looked puzzled and looked up.

He saw that there were several more cracks on the statue of the God of Light in front of him!

From the neck to the waist, six or seven long cracks appeared clearly on the statue.

What's going on?

Don't let me complete the baptism ceremony?

Jiang Chen was completely speechless. He turned his head and looked at Bai Dingyang behind him.

At this time, the latter was staring at the statue straightly, his eyes full of fear and confusion, and cold sweat had begun to slide down his pale face.

"Keep going?"

Jiang Chen said directly, he couldn't give up halfway, right?

Continue?

Bai Dingyang couldn't help swallowing his saliva when he heard Jiang Chen's words. His Adam's apple rolled and he said in a trembling voice: "Yes, continue, continue!"

"Second kowtow!"

As his voice fell.

Jiang Chen lowered his head towards the statue again.

However, just halfway.

Crack!

Another crisp cracking sound sounded.

"Stop, stop!"

Bai Dingyang shouted suddenly.

The whole statue was covered with cracks, spreading like a spider web, as if it would completely collapse in the next second.

"Is it... because I kneel?"

Jiang Chen's eyes were thoughtful.

He found that as long as he bowed his head, cracks would appear on the statue.

It's always like this.

Bai Dingyang also found the crux of the problem.

Moreover, as a bystander, he saw it in more detail.

As long as Jiang Chen kowtowed, cracks appeared on the statue of the God of Light.

And when he stopped kowtowed, these cracks stopped and no longer spread.

It was as if the statue of the God of Light could not bear his kneeling!

Bai Dingyang, who came to this conclusion, suddenly felt an electric current running through his heart. He felt his hair stand on end and his scalp tingling!

"Who on earth is this person..."

Bai Dingyang looked at Jiang Chen, and his heart was shocked to the point that it could not be worse.

"Are you still going on?"

Looking at Bai Dingyang, who was in a state of panic, Jiang Chen said helplessly: "Bishop Bai, speak!"

"No, not going on!"

Bai Dingyang shook his head quickly, and then said: "Saint Envoy Fanchen, get up quickly!"

If it continues, the statue of the God of Light will really fall apart completely!

"Then my baptism..."

Jiang Chen stood up and frowned slightly.

"Just stand there, I'll kneel for you!"

As he said that, Bai Dingyang went directly to the statue and knelt down in a very standard manner.

Then he stretched out his hands, touched the ground with his head, and kowtowed three times in a row.

"The baptism ceremony is complete!"

As Bai Dingyang finished speaking loudly, the beam of light on Jiang Chen's body also disappeared instantly.

"Is it completed like this?"

Jiang Chen found that there was no change in his body.

Of course, no change is the best.

"Keep it simple!"

Bai Dingyang stood up and smiled at Jiang Chen: "Saint Envoy of Fanchen, you will be a member of the Holy See of Light from now on. Please give me more advice!"

"Please give me more advice."

Jiang Chen also replied politely.

"Saint Envoy of Fanchen, you are a new member of the Holy See. Please say a few words to the members of the Holy See, just as a greeting."

As Bai Dingyang said, he stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.

Uh, do you still want to speak...

Jiang Chen saw that the hundreds of people in the hall were all looking straight at him, and he walked forward helplessly.

He paused and said to everyone: "May the light shine forever in the world!"

"May the light shine forever in the world!"

All of a sudden, everyone present looked at Jiang Chen enthusiastically and shouted in unison.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen also breathed a sigh of relief: "OK, it's done!"

Next...

Jiang Chen looked at Bai Dingyang with a smile on his face, with a hint of meaning in his eyes: "Bishop Bai!"

"Do you have any instructions from the mortal saint?"

Bai Dingyang was slightly startled and looked at Jiang Chen.

"You know."

The corner of Jiang Chen's mouth raised slightly.

"I see!"

Bai Dingyang also nodded understandingly and said, "It's time to choose an assistant nun for the mortal saint."

"No no no."

Jiang Chen shook his head and smiled: "If you are not a nun, we will talk about it later. I want to know when will the light blessing of the church start?"

Jiang Chen joined the Holy See just to gain benefits.

The Holy See of Light has great wealth and a lot of good things. He has been thinking about this blessing of Light for a long time.

If you guessed it correctly, the blessing of light can obtain the power of light!

Moreover, after joining the Holy See, you might be able to learn some special skills.

For example, Holy Word!

For example, great prophecy!

"If I could learn the same great prophecy technique as the Pope, I would be able to laugh out of my dreams!"

Jiang Chen was already fascinated by this.

"cough……"

Looking at the increasingly wanton smile on Jiang Chen's face, Bai Dingyang also coughed lightly.

He really wanted to say something and calm down.

But he still held back.

"It's like this. Mortal Holy Envoy, there is a quota for the blessing of light. Not every member of the Holy See can receive the blessing." Bai Dingyang explained.

"Quota?"

Jiang Chen was startled and asked, "Don't I have one?"

"Well, I can apply for you, but..."

Bai Dingyang paused and replied: "This needs approval from the Holy See. This is assessed based on your contribution to the Holy See. You have just joined the Holy See, so I'm afraid it's not easy to pass the assessment."

Is it approved by the temple?

Jiang Chen frowned slightly.

He knew that the temple Bai Dingyang was talking about was the headquarters of the Holy See of Light, the Temple of Light.

Located in the Imperial City!

This is a place only players at level 30 can go!

Jiang Chen did not dwell on this, but asked: "What does this contribution mean?"

"Handling the daily chores of the Holy See or completing the tasks assigned by the Holy See will be considered as contributions." Bai Dingyang replied.

"I don't have time for this."

Jiang Chen shook his head and asked, "Is there no other way?"

"It's not that there is no other way, it's just..."

Bai Dingyang was slightly hesitant in his words.

"Just what?" Jiang Chen asked immediately.

"This method may be more difficult for you, that is, enter the Religious Inquisition. It is a violent institution. You can obtain blessing quotas through battles. Moreover, the type of blessing is more combat-oriented."

Bai Dingyang looked at Jiang Chen and said slowly: "You belong to the priest profession, and in terms of combat..."

"I am the Holy Envoy of Light, and I am also proficient in combat!"

Jiang Chen's eyes brightened slightly and he immediately said, "Can I enter the religious court?"

"Do you really want to go to the Religious Inquisition? That place is very dangerous and very strictly controlled."

Bai Dingyang was a little surprised.

"Yes, please help me make arrangements if possible."

Jiang Chen is not polite either. At times like this, if you have the opportunity, you must seize it!

"That's not a problem."

Bai Dingyang nodded and said: "You come with me, I will take you to see the leader of the Qiantian City Religious Judgment Office, Gewei."

"Wait a minute, I entered the Religious Inquisition. The church should still be free to enter and exit, right?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Of course, the Qiantian City Religious Judgment Office is located in the church and is nominally under my management." Bai Dingyang nodded.

"In name?"

Jiang Chen frowned slightly.

"That place has a heavy killing atmosphere. I don't go there often, so I leave it all to Gewei. I don't ask too much about general matters, but if the Mortal Saint Envoy wants to join, there should be no problem." Bai Dingyang explained.

Then you are really good at playing, you enjoy this every day...

Jiang Chen couldn't help but complain in his heart, and immediately said: "Then Bishop Bai will lead the way."

"no problem."

With that said, Bai Dingyang took Jiang Chen out of the main hall of the church and came to the outer hall.

On the left side of the outer hall of the church, there was a long indoor aisle. The two of them walked along the aisle and came directly to the outside of the hall.

In the middle is an open-air buffer zone, and in front is a corridor.

After passing the winding corridor, Jiang Chen saw a simple castle-style building at the end of his field of vision.

This is the Qiantian City Religious Tribunal.

The gray-black stone bricks on the walls of the tribunal have weathered the weather and look a bit old.

Jiang Chen and Bai Dingyang walked straight to the main entrance of the tribunal.

There are also two guards standing here wearing armor, carrying bucklers and swords. They are knights of the Holy See.

The two stood at the door, as motionless as wooden pillars.

Even when Bai Dingyang walked over, the two Holy See knights stared straight ahead without saying a word.

Later, Jiang Chen followed Bai Dingyang into the religious tribunal.

This is a very dark room. The floor and walls are all made of very rough black stone bricks without any decoration.

Compared with the outer hall and main hall of the church next to it, they are simply two different worlds.

At this time, in the room of the tribunal, eight people were standing quietly, four on each side, facing each other.

These are two squads.

Among them, the team on the left are the Holy See knights wearing armor.

The team on the right is composed of Vatican judges wearing white robes and carrying cross-like weapons.

Before Bai Dingyang could speak.

Keng!

call!

A uniform sound of metal collision and a sound of breaking wind sounded at the same time.

I saw four knights from the left team pulling out the long swords on their backs.

The four judges on the right team also held the wide cross with both hands.

A tense atmosphere filled the room.

"cough……"

Bai Dingyang coughed.

The eight members of the tribunal looked over and shouted in unison: "I've seen the bishop!"

"What do you want to do? If you want to fight, go to the backyard ring to fight!" Bai Dingyang scolded several people.

"Go back to Bishop, we are on guard duty and cannot leave the room."

The one who spoke was the captain of the knight team.

"You also know that you are on guard duty?"

Bai Dingyang glanced at several people and said majestically: "Is Gewei too indulgent to you?"

"Bishop, this has nothing to do with Hall Master Gewei. If you want to punish us, just punish us!"

The captain of the knight squad replied expressionlessly.

"Why don't you put your weapons away?" Bai Dingyang said coldly.

"Put away your weapons!"

The captains of both teams shouted at the same time.

Immediately, the swords and crosses in their hands were all returned to their respective backs.

"Let Gewei come out to see me."

Bai Dingyang's expression softened a little.

"Go back to the bishop. Master Gewei is not at the tribunal. If you have anything, we can tell you something."

The captain of the knight squad said loudly.

"Not there?"

Bai Dingyang frowned slightly and said, "Tell him that I will arrange for someone to enter the adjudication office."

"It's him?"

Hearing this, the captain of the knight team pointed directly at Jiang Chen.

The other seven members of the tribunal also looked at Jiang Chen with unkind eyes.

"It's quite exclusive..."

Jiang Chen frowned slightly and muttered to himself.

"What kind of attitude do you have? This is the Holy Envoy of Light. Bishop Jindolph personally introduced him to join the Holy See!"

Bai Dingyang scolded dissatisfiedly.

"To join the Inquisition, you need to pass the assessment. Even if Bishop Jindolph is here, I still say this."

The captain of the knight squad said expressionlessly.

"Yes, many of our actions are very dangerous. Whether we are fighting heretics or blasphemers, we must have reliable teammates. It is not uncommon for one person to hold us back and kill the entire team."

On the other side, the captain of the Judge team, who had been silent, also said something in a deep voice.

"You are so brave!"

Bai Dingyang's face darkened and he said angrily: "I will arrange who comes to the Judgment Office, you just need to accept the order!"

"Back to the bishop, according to canon law, you only have the right to recommend a quota. Whether he can pass it or not, we still need to conduct an assessment. Otherwise, even if you let him join the tribunal, I will appeal to the temple in real name!"

The captain of the knight team still said very resolutely: "Please think twice, sir, and you can't make fun of the lives of other members of the tribunal!"

"You two captains, do you have anything else to say?"

Bai Dingyang glanced at the two captains indifferently.

"Go back to the bishop, no more!"

The captains of both teams replied in unison.

"Okay, if you two contradict the bishop, you will be removed from the captain's position immediately and guard the cells of the adjudication center!" Bai Dingyang ordered very solemnly.

"Yes, Bishop!"

The captain of the knight team responded, and then looked at Jiang Chen: "Even if I go to guard the cell, you will never enter the religious inquisition!"

"That's right, weak people are not worthy of entering the tribunal!"

"The strength of the Judgment Office speaks for itself. Although we have put life and death at risk for a long time, we must not let people who come in through connections cause our sacrifices to be in vain!"

"Weak people are absolutely not qualified to step into the tribunal!"

"Go back to your church and be a master!"

Because the captain was demoted, several team members all pointed their fingers at Jiang Chen angrily.
