Chapter 545: Sacred City

In this vast ocean, looking around, you can see more than a dozen ships coming and going.

The ships coming and going represent the prosperity here.

But what's interesting is.

Except for some merchant ships and transport ships carrying supplies, the vast majority of ships can be seen to be various passenger transport ships used to transport personnel.

All of these ships are marked with the emblem of the Church of Our Lady or have elements similar to the Lady.

From a distance, it looks like it is in the middle of the ocean.

There is a large island there.

This island is the land of the goddess, representing the joy of new life and harvest, and is the headquarters of the Church of Our Lady in this vast ocean.

A faint and soft light was projected from outside the clouds in the sky. This soft light blended with the surrounding colors, appearing and disappearing.

The sound of dawn slowly came to the outskirts of the sea.

The island could already be seen out of sight.

Alka and the others stood on the boat, letting the Sound of Dawn use vines to lift them up into the sky so that they could see the appearance of the island more quickly.

The sacred city.

The headquarters of the church.

Even in such a remote place, they could already feel the fluctuations generated by the power of the Virgin Mary.

These fluctuations of power and the power contained in the pillar of light floating down from the sky made the surrounding sea surface glow with a light golden luster.

"What a stable environment." Julia couldn't help but say as she felt the surrounding environment.

"The environment here is as stable as the home sea."

I think it must be the power of the Virgin Mary that dispelled the chaos around and made the environment here very stable.

Jason swirled his hands in the air, bringing out a faint golden glow in the air.

"Not only the environment, but even the magic power is mixed with a lot of holy light elements. This place has almost become a forbidden place for all evil spirits."

The Holy Light of Our Lady is not a holy light like punishment.

But this holy light has been integrated into the surrounding environment. Not to mention the demons, even the cultists find it unbearable to walk into this area.

The aura on his body would constantly conflict with the surrounding holy light, basically as if it was marked out by the aperture.

It's really exaggerated.

As the ship sails.

A boat slowly approached their side and moved .

Alka and the others looked towards the ship.

The ship was not a church ship, but it also followed some of the church's styles.

Pale gold and creamy white colour.

It has many styles of the Church of Our Lady, and you can also see that this ship should be a personnel transport ship with rooms of different sizes.

Because around the cabin, in addition to some cannons, there are all kinds of doors and windows.

On the deck.

Many people gathered, staring at the island in the distance as if on pilgrimage.

Although the island is so small that it is far away from the sky.

There is still a long way to go.

"The Pilgrim's ship?"

Alka couldn't help but say as he looked at the ship.

For the saints of the Church of Our Lady, it was easy to feel the faith in the Virgin Mary coming from that ship.

As you move forward.

The number of pilgrim ships coming and going increased.

But in addition to these, you can also see many warships of the Church of Our Lady, transporting some knights and defenders of the faith to distant places.

You can also see some ships transporting supplies.

These fleets of transport ships bound for World Scar were arguably the most common ships that Alka and his companions had seen since they left World Scar.

Sometimes you can even see these ships drifting in the sea.

This is enough to show how many such ships there are and how severe the world's scars are.

The support has never stopped, and the whole world is providing blood transfusions there.

As we get closer to the Holy City.

That calm luster is becoming more and more prominent.

The surrounding magic power also began to be squeezed by the holy light .

The divine element began to fill the surroundings.

They were almost sailing on a golden ocean.

This gold color is not luxurious.

The golden color, similar to the yellow of wheat, will only make people feel the rich color of autumn harvest and is more in line with the rustic mood rather than the noble color.

From afar, they looked at the sacred island.

Looking around, the island is covered with golden patches.

Arka couldn't help but smile at the golden color.

He was very familiar with this golden color.

It was exactly what he had seen and was once very familiar with.

Golden wheat ears.

However, the direction they are now in seems to be on the back of the island.

Although the island is flat, it still has slightly undulating mountains. Although not high, they are enough to block their view from the front.

Finally they arrived at the periphery of the island.

Watch the pilgrims' boats circling to the left at the back.

It should be closer to the port.

Alka and the others also began to slowly circle around.

And deliberately slowed down the speed of the ship.

In front of them were stretches of golden wheat fields.

"Are these all golden wheat ears?" Xia Daiti didn't quite understand, but after all, he also came from the Home Sea, so he looked at Alka and asked.

Because she remembered that Alka's hometown was Golden Wheat Island, the home island of the Virgin Mary.

Alka nodded.

"Yes, these are golden wheat ears, but I didn't expect to see them here."

Matlisa looked at the wheat ears on the island carefully, and then said: "These plants are different. Maybe their appearance is the same as what you see, but their inner parts are some kind of... ancient and strange creations. They are absorbing the holy light."

In other words, it may be some kind of higher creation.

Hearing this, Alka said, "The wheat ears I have seen do not absorb the holy light to grow."

"So these should be the legendary Holy Light Wheat Ears."

Juanlu said.

Because this kind of holy light wheat ear is actually a kind of food, but Juanlu rarely uses it to make delicious food.

Because the characteristic of this golden wheat ear is not how delicious it is, but its huge yield and good taste.

In the environment of holy light, it has the characteristics of almost unlimited growth and unlimited output.

“Look at those windmills.”

In the wheat fields that spread all the way to the back of the mountain, you can see windmills one after another located in these wheat fields. Spreading across the entire island, these windmills have also become a beautiful landscape.

"Voice of Dawn, come over here," Simon said.

Although no one knew why, the Sound of Dawn still moved closer, almost reaching the shore.

Only then did they realize the peculiarity of these endless wheat fields that almost completely covered the back of the island.

Because the ears of wheat on top were actually being peeled off automatically and then flew away.

These stripped ears of wheat formed a straight line in the wheat field, as if they were pulled together by some force.

The nearest windmill was less than a few hundred meters away.

The huge windmill was turning slowly, and some reliefs from the church could be clearly seen on it.

Simon's eyes flickered, and he was using some spell that enhanced his vision.

Then he patted Alka on the shoulder.

"Look."

Alka had seen it.

These windmills only look like windmills in appearance, but inside they are sophisticated creations of some kind of spells and mechanical structures.

Simon explained to the others: "These windmills are deep underground, forming a kind of network formation around and even in the entire wheat field.

Holy Light Wheat Ears will produce unlimited food grains in the Holy Light environment, and these grains will be automatically produced and peeled off, and quickly enter the windmill to be stored. "

This is a fully automatic grain sowing and harvesting system composed of plant machinery and spells.

"Perfect."

Simon couldn't help but admire.

Then he took out a small notebook and started recording.

As they the ship began to circle.

Soon we saw roads connecting each windmill, with an intersection in the middle. It seemed to be a transport station.

People were constantly transporting the food away.

"Hi!"

At this time, a few children suddenly came out from the wheat field on the shore. They looked at Alka and his boat and waved and greeted them.

Wheat fields, windmills, children.

Looking at this scene, Alka had an inexplicable illusion that he had returned to the Kingdom of the Virgin Mary, and could not help but smile and wave to them.

"It's like... we have arrived at the Holy Mother's kingdom of God." said Xia Daiti.

Although she had only been there once, that one visit was enough to leave a deep impression on her.

Finally they circled to the front of the island.

You can see many buildings here.

The buildings spread all the way from the port to the mountain, but the mountain is not very high after all.

A solemn church is the administrative center of the Goddess Church.

This is one of the most conspicuous buildings because it is the point where the light source in the sky falls.

The road from the port leads straight to the church.

The church covers a large area, with a tall spire and a white marble building surface. There are detailed carvings on the walls, showing beautiful goddess images and some sacred mythological stories.

These are some of the details they can see right from the shore.

And on the shore, at the port.

The most conspicuous thing is a lighthouse.

If it weren't for the golden beam of light projected from the sky and the magnificent Cathedral of Notre Dame.

Then the most conspicuous thing must be this guiding lighthouse.

This lighthouse is over a hundred meters high.

Interestingly, the shape of this lighthouse resembles a tall, upright ear of wheat.

The fruits hanging down from the ears of wheat are like sources of light.

The place where the beam of light had just been cast in the sky, Alka and the others had not yet noticed the place where the light source was emanating.

Just discovered it now.

Port towns can see a lot of use of the various colors that can only be produced in autumn.

Roofs made of red maple rubble in autumn have become the choice of roofs for most buildings. The patches of color make it seem as if you have entered a maple forest.

Most of the houses are decorated in light brown, light yellow and beige colors, and the overall tone is in perfect harmony with the atmosphere of the entire island.

The rich colors make people feel as if they have entered the fruitful autumn in the instant of return.

Ships coming and going at the port.

And special ports built specifically to accommodate those transporting personnel.

This allows the ship to quickly transport passengers off the ship.

You can see these people walking slowly and steadily towards the huge church on the top of the mountain as if on a pilgrimage.

Alka and his men docked their ship at another port.

Obviously, Alka and his team's ships are very distinctive, and the port has the ability to distinguish them, so there are no restrictions on Alka and their ships.

No one even came to record it.

However, when their ship docked at the port, a team of church knights came over.

Alka and the others jumped directly off the boat.

"Your Excellency Saint Arka." The knight pounded his chest and then made the Virgin Mary's cross sign.

Alka used the same gesture and nodded as a greeting.

"Finally I have arrived, my Lords. Please follow me. I have prepared a place for you to rest."

After saying that, two of the soldiers led Alka and the others towards the church.

However, as soon as they arrived outside the port, the leading soldier captain thought about it, turned around and looked at Alka and the others and asked.

"Does Saint Monsignor mind not taking the Pilgrim's Way?"

"Pilgrim's Avenue?" Alka was a little confused.

“It is the main road leading to the church. Almost all pilgrims take this road and head step by step to the Cathedral of Our Lady at the top of the mountain.

Devout believers believe that walking along this avenue will be watched by the Virgin Mary to examine their own character.

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

But thinking of the flow of people on the avenue just now, Alka shook his head.

"I don't mind. It's okay to take the side road."

"That's good."

The soldier was obviously relieved.

It seems that even they themselves find it very uncomfortable to walk on the main road, after all, it is quite crowded there.

Moreover, the believers walked slowly, almost moving forward by crawling.

Then they started walking, and some roads around the residents and commercial streets began to be detoured.

Alka and the others followed behind and looked at the surrounding scenery.

The soldiers leading the way also deliberately slowed down their pace.

Golden wheat ears can be seen between or around almost every house.

Some children ran past them while playing.

"Is it my illusion? Why are there so many children?" Juanlu asked.

Some of the children seemed to know the soldiers leading the way, and greeted them or hugged their thighs.

One of the soldiers said with a smile.

“Yes, there are many children around Notre Dame Cathedral because there is the largest orphanage here.

They were all brought by believers, and even members of various churches, from all over the Infinite Ocean. "

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

This is the characteristic of the Church of Our Lady.

Generally speaking, in addition to the ability to produce food quickly, the biggest feature is the orphanage.

After all, the Virgin Mary has a certain power to give birth to new life and cultivate children.

Therefore, almost all church forces, even around churches, have orphanages.

In this vast sea of orphans, homeless children are not an uncommon sight.

All church members are dedicated to collecting these orphans and nurturing them.

In fact, this is also the source of most of all church members. Except for the descendants of the church itself, the rest of the personnel all come from these orphanages.

And some children sent by believers.

There are a lot of food ingredients in the surrounding shops.

To be honest, there doesn't seem to be anything sold on this island that looks particularly practical or valuable.

These are all very ordinary products.

But there are an unusually large number of people.

Coming and going.

As they headed to the church, they also looked at the flow of people on the main street, and it was scary to look at it.

Moreover, these people moved upwards very slowly, as if they were crawling, and it looked a bit tortured.

"Are there so many people every day?" Jason couldn't help but ask.

If this is the case, then the guards who maintain order are working too hard.

Every day is high-intensity work.

The soldier in front did shake his head though.
