I have a shelter in the last days

Chapter 285 Announcing the Oracle
"Aren't you caught by the church and sent to the capital for trial?" Jiujiu asked suspiciously.

"What trial? Why did the church arrest me? I am a step-goddess of the church. Isn't it normal to follow the bishop to the capital to participate in the trial meeting?" Liana asked inexplicably.

"Didn't you be arrested? How could you, an ordinary priestess, be taken by the bishop to participate in the trial meeting hosted by the Pope?" Jiujiu found that things seemed to be somewhat inconsistent with the family's intelligence and predictions.

"Why was I brought here by Bishop Lante? It was Bishop Lante who saw that I was studying theology with great sincerity during this period. He thought I was frightened by what happened in those few days, so he said he would bring me to the capital to relax, not just me. All the missionaries are here. Bishop Lante wants us to listen to the oracle that His Majesty is going to announce."

"..." Everyone present was stunned when they heard this answer, and the family's judgment on this matter seemed to be completely misguided.

"It seems that we have made a mistake..." Jiujiu stood up with a confused face, turned around and said to Kou Jin: "The action must be adjusted. You can explain it to her. I will discuss it with my father. The next step..."

Kou Jin opened his mouth, looked at his highness who ran to the corner of the room as if fleeing, and then at Lianna who was waiting for his answer with wide eyes and tilted head.

This... how to explain?

These days, the entire capital is full of lively atmosphere. The congregation and spectators who got the news and rushed to the capital from all over the world gathered in this city. They were excited, discussing, and looking forward to an upcoming day.

Just today, His Majesty the Pope is going to announce a big news to the world, the Insects have obtained a new oracle!You must know that in the entire history of the Insector Empire, the oracle has only appeared a few times, and each oracle indicates that the church is about to make a big move that will affect the whole country.

For example, the first oracle announced the location of the Church’s holy church, and skilled craftsmen from all over the country were gathered in the capital to build a huge temple complex that is not inferior to the royal palace; the second oracle confirmed that the church needs to build its own land. System and force, countless evil nobles were driven out of power in a hundred years, and the church confiscated their land and established their own disciplinary knights. Since then, they have embarked on the road of opposing the nobles; An evil scholar with heresy was captured and burned to death by the church... I don’t know what kind of changes this oracle will bring to the empire.

Today, the church has planted its own flags in every corner of the capital, and even the aristocratic areas have sent knights to carry the flags to patrol around.Of course, considering that it is inappropriate to directly conflict with the church at this point in time, the king and nobles also acquiesced in this behavior of the church and did not send their own army to expel the knights of the church.

Not only that, the church even hung ribbons with various religious symbols on the gates and walls of the capital, and believers in the capital also erected church flags in their homes, and countless knights of the church patrolled the city. Order was maintained in the streets and alleys of the capital.Only the imperial palace stands cleanly in the center of the city, and it seems to be telling the people of the capital in this silent way that you still have a foreign majesty.

The Saints Square in front of the gate of the Royal Capital Temple has already been surrounded by crowds from all over the place to watch the ceremony. Thousands or even tens of thousands of people have gathered. They are waiting next to each other, feet to feet The pope came out to announce the legendary new oracle.

From the gate of the temple, there is a long open-air corridor extending to the altar in the center of the square. This square and the altar are where the church conducts various sacrificial activities on weekdays.Both sides of today's corridor are railings filled with mycelium spores. Cloth strips and colored flags decorate this long corridor just like the most famous religious painting in which the first pope led the Insects to victory.

Suddenly, cheers erupted from the bustling crowd in the square. A group of disciplinary knights wearing gorgeous knight armor rode tall roaring insects, walked out of the temple gate in neat steps, and walked along the open-air corridor to the altar. .Then 33 archbishops from all over the empire, wearing red robes with black borders, also slowly drove out of the temple in 14 screeching bug carts.I saw them in a group of three, and the leader led the bishops to the altar alone in a car. It was Pope Cairo of the church. He was about 60 years old, with a solemn look, wearing a black robe inlaid with golden patterns. It is a special dress for the pope at important ceremonies.

The knights marched to the altar and quickly stood in a circle around the altar, vacating the center of the altar.After the Pope arrived at the altar, he got off the car and walked directly to the high platform in the center of the altar, while the archbishops behind him formed a semicircle and stood quietly in the empty space behind him.

The Pope stood on the high platform, looked around at the people in the square, and gently raised his right hand.Immediately bursts of cheers sounded again, and the wave was higher than the wave, and the atmosphere reached its climax in an instant. Some believers who came to Yincheng with their families from afar were affected by the surrounding atmosphere and even burst into tears. These believers from afar even It is very likely that you will never see the Pope's crown in your life, but now the Pope is waving at them in front of them.

The sound waves sounded as the pope raised his right hand, and gradually subsided as he lowered his right hand.His Majesty the Pope looked at the quiet crowd and nodded in satisfaction, cleared his throat and said, "People of God, I got the oracle a month ago! The oracle told—" He paused slightly when he said this. After a pause, he looked at the tens of thousands of eyes eagerly looking at him in the crowd, and then continued.

"—The sleeping god is about to wake up."

The utterance of this short sentence instantly aroused thousands of voices, and the originally quiet crowd burst into exclamations again.God, is it about to wake up?You must know that the Sacred Sacred Sect has always claimed that the gods are sleeping, but at this moment, the pope told everyone: The oracle told everyone that the gods are about to wake up?Is this because the Insects have finally been approved by the gods?
The Pope raised his right hand high again and pressed it down in the air, and he continued after everyone became quiet again.

"Many people may think that the awakening of the gods means that we Insects have finally received the approval of the gods, so the gods are about to wake up again and lead the Insects to rebuild their glory."

When he said this, he paused, looked around at the wonderful expressions of everyone, and then continued. "But the truth is just the opposite!"

"Because the greedy nobles joined forces with the scholars who spread heresy for their own desires and tried to steal the power and authority of the gods! This awakened the sleeping gods! Look at what these evil and greedy heretics have done Bar!"
