Shilan City.
After waiting for more than ten days, Emilia and her group finally waited for the awakening ceremony to begin.
In a tall and magnificent church, many believers waiting to be awakened poured in following the guidance of nuns and priests.
As soon as Emilia and others entered the gate, they saw the spacious hall and a high platform in the center.
The person presiding over the awakening ceremony was a member of the Church of Light. Several nuns stood on the awakening platform, and a group of burly guardian knights stood solemnly beside them, looking solemn and sacred.
"Praise the God of Light. It is because of God's tolerance and mercy that we, with bodies filled with sin, have the opportunity to awaken magic again. This is a gift from God..."
The white-bearded priest on the stage held the Holy Scripture in his hand and chanted loudly, fooling the believers below the stage crazily.
Emilia and others also pretended to be fanatical and shouted loudly, "God loves the world!"
There was no other way; in order to participate in the awakening ceremony, they had to follow the local customs and pretend to be devout believers.
Although the kingdom also has a special awakening institution, it is basically not open to civilians. Ordinary people without noble titles are not even qualified to enter.
Only the church is the first choice for civilians who want to awaken their powers. However, the consequence of this is that once a genius appears, he or she will basically be snatched away and trained by the church.
But because the church basically does not interfere in the internal affairs of the kingdom, the kingdoms turn a blind eye to this. After all, sometimes when there are problems within the kingdom, they can ask the church for help to suppress them.
Emilia followed a nun in white to the awakening platform. They bought the most expensive gold indulgence at 50,000 gold coins each, so they were among the first group to awaken.
Yes, even if the church wants to awaken, it needs qualifications. Although there are free places for the majority of believers, they are basically only available once every three years. Emilia and others simply cannot wait that long, so they can only come to participate in this awakening ceremony that costs money!
Because those who came to awaken privately had missed the so-called day of God's public blessing, they were considered sinners by the church and should not be given the opportunity to awaken. They must buy indulgences before they can be given the opportunity to awaken again.
Of course, these are just the official statements. In private, no one cares about atonement or not. It is good enough to have a place to awaken. And because it costs money, the church will even give some small preferential treatment compared to the free awakening ceremony.
There are three types of awakening tickets: gold, silver, and black iron, with prices of 50,000, 5,000, and 500 gold coins respectively.
In this world, one gold coin is enough for a family to live a good life with good food and drink for a month. People without some assets can't afford these tickets at all, but they happen to be the ones who have assets!
"May the God of Light protect you!"
The nun in white closed her eyes and lowered them, speaking softly.
"Please put your hands in the holy water to wash away your sins. The holier the soul, the more likely it is to be favored by the gods."
It was a large golden cup with some patterns carved on it. On the front, there were two people who looked like nuns holding a smaller cup in their hands.
Emilia obediently immersed her hands in the clear water in the cup. It felt like ordinary water, without any sensation. It was actually no different from ordinary washing hands.
Retire from the Jinbei?
I have to say, these people in the church are really good at deceiving people. They say that golden tickets can increase the chance of awakening, but in fact, it is just a scam!
If she didn't want to awaken quickly, she wouldn't have wasted money like this!
Although there is a lot of gold in the Dragon Flame world, she still feels particularly distressed to throw away so much gold. Wouldn't it be nice to have a golden house at home?
She didn't cherish the money when she spent it, and when the money had already been spent, she felt heartbroken!
After washing her hands, the nun handed Emilia a towel and asked her to wipe them clean. Then she took Emilia to another empty room with a tank of clean water.
"This is the water of purification. Washing your whole body with this water will make your soul purer!"
Emilia frowned, feeling it was so troublesome, especially since she had to take a bath in front of strangers.
But having come this far, there was no point in giving up halfway, so she gradually took off her clothes with the nun's help and stood there, allowing the nun to wipe her whole body with a wet towel.
The nun didn't look very old, probably only about sixteen years old. There was no expression on her face, and her eyes were full of calmness and indifference, as if it was not the first time she wiped the body of a believer.
However, after Emilia's special parts were wiped, her body trembled slightly. There was no way around it because the nun's body-wiping technique was very poor. It always felt like she was rubbing the skin of a dead pig.
Bad review!!
After changing into the white robe beside her, Emilia followed the nun and finally arrived at the awakening room.
There are several other believers waiting to awaken in the room. This is the biggest difference between the Golden Ticket and other awakening ceremonies. The Golden Ticket is a single-person awakening, unlike other awakening ceremonies where ten or fifty people awaken together in a room.
One by one, the believers came on stage to awaken. There were not many of them. Emilia was the third one, and soon the two in front of her completed their awakening.
I have to say that the awakening probability of the golden ticket is indeed very high. Two people in a row have successfully awakened. Compared with the free awakening ceremony once every three years, hundreds of children in a small town awaken, and in the end only about ten people awaken successfully. This probability is already very good!
"Come up, my God's loyal believer. Your devout faith will surely be blessed by God!"
