Chapter 607 Miracle from the Mother Earth
Miracle?
Which god will show up to show miracles and end this extremely extreme snowfall?
God of Steam and Machinery?
Impossible. Since the war began, the people of the Steam Church have obviously not been very active.
Adam and the True Creator have a bad reputation and should not show up in public. That leaves only the Goddess of Night.
The authority of night and the heavy snow... Is this going to freeze everyone in Backlund to death?
The members of the Loen royal family only dared to murmur in their hearts, but they dared not speak out to offend the gods casually.
"Go down and prepare. The miracle will come in three days. This is your best chance to redeem your image."
Archbishop Anthony did not stay for too long. He just gave a few instructions and returned to St. Samuel Church. When he was heading to the prayer hall, he happened to meet Leonard, who rarely showed a gentle smile on his face.
"Choose such a snowy day to come to the church to pray. I have always seen your piety to the goddess."
"..." Leonard was silent for a while, then smiled and said: "I have resigned as the captain of the Red Gloves Squad. This should be the last time I come here to pray to the goddess."
For a long time, he was a believer of the goddess, but since the old man encountered Amon many times, he gradually lost his faith in the goddess.
Now, the Goddess of Night and the stars of Hastur are obviously in different camps. He can only choose to leave the Church of the Goddess of Night and stay away from Backlund.
"I think I will miss the time you stayed here. May the goddess protect you forever."
"Thank you for your blessing."
Leonard finally took another look at the holy emblem of the Goddess of Night. When he turned around and took two steps, Archbishop Anthony called him and told him that a miracle would come in three days, so he should not miss this event.
Walking out of the gate of St. Samuel's Church, Leonard stretched and felt much more relaxed, but the next second, he yawned, quickly wrapped his black coat tightly, shrank his head, and quickened his pace to leave.
The heavy snow that never stopped for a quarter of an hour covered the entire road. The snow was so thick that no carriages could be seen on the road.
Only in the Queens area, there were fixed personnel to shovel snow every day, and carriages could barely pass.
Leonard, who walked in the heavy snow for almost two hours before returning home, quickly lit the fireplace, boiled some water, made a cup of hot coffee, and sat in the rocking chair in front of the fireplace with a blanket on, and sighed comfortably.
He took two sips of hot coffee, paused for a while and said, "Old man, you should have heard what Archbishop Anthony said just now. Which god do you think will descend in three days?"
"Mother Earth." A lazy voice came from Leonard's body.
"Why?"
"The authority of the Goddess of Night will only aggravate the heavy snow, causing more people to die from the cold, and the Mother Earth controls the ability of all things to revive and reproduce. Winter is gone and spring is within Her ability." Pales paused and continued: "Since winter can come early, spring can naturally come early. Three days later is a good opportunity to watch."
"The situation in the Kingdom of Feynaport is so serious, why does the Mother Earth still want to come to Backlund to hold a divine descent?"
"What you said is exactly why the Mother Earth needs to hold a divine descent in Backlund and show miracles."
Leonard finally understood something. The Mother Earth, who was facing the collapse of faith, needed to show miracles to consolidate and spread her faith.
"Old man, I didn't expect you to be so smart."
"I just learned how to use my brain correctly."
"..." Leonard muttered dissatisfiedly: "If you are really that smart, do you still need to hide in my body?"
"Stupid people need guidance from famous teachers."
Leonard knew that he couldn't win the argument with the old man, so he chose to shut up very smartly.
Three days passed quickly.
In order to restore their image, the Loen royal family began to actively promote and build momentum after receiving the notice from Archbishop Anthony, striving to let all the people of the Loen Kingdom see that the status of the Loen royal family is orthodox, sacred, and inviolable.
It was their piety that moved the gods, so that the gods decided to come and dispel the heavy snow.
In order to expand their influence, the Loen royal family once again used the imaging technology that George III used to give a pre-war speech to advance to Sequence 0, so that what was happening in Backlund could be spread throughout the Loen Kingdom.
What surprised the Loen royal family was that the busiest church on the day of the God's Descent was not the Church of the Goddess of Night, but the Church of the Mother Earth.
As the time of the God's Descent approached, the Loen Kingdom sent a respected royal member to give a tearful speech.
After the speech, the believers of the Church of the Mother Earth knelt down and prayed devoutly.
The dark gray heavy clouds in the sky were torn apart, and a light green light representing life fell from the sky.
For the people living in Backlund, the light falling from the sky is an extremely rare gift, especially in the past few months when the heavy snow has been raging.
They all hope that the sun's light can penetrate the clouds and disperse the heavy snow.
Now a new light of hope has come.
When the light green light falls on the ground, the snow on the ground begins to melt silently.
In the eyes of everyone who is looking forward to it, the Mother Earth Goddess descends into the eyes of all those who are looking at this place.
When His feet just touched the ground, a green life aura, with Backlund as the center, spread rapidly to the entire territory of the Kingdom of Loen, and also to the territory of the Kingdom of Feynapotter, which was burning with war.
After the life aura spread, the shadow of the Earth Mother, which was originally quite illusory, gradually solidified.
Wheat ears grew under His feet, surrounded by spring water, and His dress was flowing and swaying, with various herbs and flowers inserted, and depicting the images of different animals. His chest was bulging high, and one hand was holding an illusory cute baby hidden in a swaddling cloth, and the other hand was holding a dark brown wooden stick.
The whole was holy and dignified.
Only His facial features were still blurred, making it impossible to see His true appearance.
The Earth Mother did not speak, but gently inserted the dark brown wooden stick in her hand into the soil under her feet. The power of the Earth Mother began to flow, and the authority of life revival began to take effect.
The heavy snow in the sky stopped, the heavy clouds dispersed, and the sun that had been hidden for a long time appeared.
The warm sunshine once again fell on every life within the authority of the Mother Earth, regardless of human or animal.
The light of life flowed through all living beings, and new hope began to brew.
The creatures that were dying in the cold winter and heavy snow suddenly felt a little more strength in their bodies, and the people curled up in the bed also stretched out their bodies comfortably.
Leonard, who was still staying in Backlund and standing slightly forward, also felt the light of life from the Mother Earth. It was warm and comfortable, as if he was soaking in a hot spring, making people close their eyes and start to enjoy it.
Leonard quickly broke away from this comfortable feeling. He looked around and saw that most people were still closing their eyes to feel the revival of life in their bodies.
Only a few people were able to recover from that state.
This warm light gradually dissipated, and with the wooden stick in the hand of the Mother Earth as the center, the green grass began to break out of the ground, the old trees that had lost all their leaves were rejuvenated and grew green leaves, and the various flowers that were dying due to the heavy snow began to cheer up and bloom...
The miracle of life began to unfold at this moment.
Winter was dispelled and spring was ushered in.
Is this the power of the Mother Earth?
The selfless dedication like the earth allows the lives of all living things to revive.
Leonard's eyes were complicated. If he had encountered such a god in his youth, he would have chosen to believe in the Mother Earth and always admire the miracle of life.
The power of the gods is too sacred and too unattainable in the eyes of ordinary people.
The believers of the Church of the Mother Earth will naturally not miss the opportunity to publicize the holiness of the Mother Earth.
The voices praising life and praising the Mother Earth rose and fell, forming a wave of devout voices of faith.
The Earth Mother, who was the focus of everyone, still had her eyes slightly closed at this moment. She was spreading her authority and power to the entire territory of the Kingdom of Loen and the Kingdom of Feynet.
It was not just Backlund who had experienced the change of winter and the arrival of spring.
If it were not for the fact that the territory of the Feysac Empire had already gotten used to the heavy snow, and there were not many believers here, a new spring would have come this time.
"Praise life!"
"Praise the gift of the Earth Mother!"
The members of the Loen royal family also hurriedly stood up at this time to use the miracles of the gods to redeem their poor image.
The harvest effect was still very good, and even Leonard looked at them with a slightly more pleasing look.
The people in other parts of the Kingdom of Loen saw with their own eyes the cessation of heavy snow and the miracle of spring revival. They were all overwhelmed with emotions and gratitude. People knelt down to worship the miracle.
When this miracle of spring revival arrived in the Kingdom of Feynet, it caused a violent turmoil. It made the tired soldiers full of vigorous fighting spirit again and pushed back part of the battle situation.
Backlund, the Mother Goddess of the Earth who had completed her miracle needs, was ready to end her descent and return to the Kingdom of God in heaven.
Just as He rose high into the sky, His figure suddenly shook, and then exploded into countless small green dots of light.
