Chapter 121: 91 Congratulations, you have drawn the golden blessing (4000 characters please subscribe)_2

"So that’s how it is." After hearing her explanation, the civilians finally had a sudden realization.

Then someone else asked: "By the way, is the statue of Gaia God taller than the statue of former Emperor Sigma?"

Upon hearing this, the civilians immediately looked at the Catastrophe Messenger curiously. Their thoughts were simple: whoever’s statue is taller has higher status, and this would indirectly affect the status of government and clergy members.

The Catastrophe Messengers then asked Morgan and Le Cheng about this issue. Le Cheng thought they didn’t understand Gaia, while they felt it was very necessary because Le Cheng didn’t understand the national situation.

This Catastrophe Messenger was prepared and smiled, "The statue of Gaia God is twenty-five meters tall, but since the lower part of Her leg is rooted underground, only twenty meters of the statue is visible aboveground, which is the same height as that of former Emperor Sigma."

"Huh?"

Before the crowd could react, she spoke again, "The Divine Envoy told us that though Gaia is a deity, She does not compete for glory with mortals. Whether people believe in Her or not, Her power will blend into every piece of land, protecting all the subjects on this great earth. At the same time, the Divine Envoy also admonished us clergy, not to compare ourselves with others lightly. The clergy only need to do their duty, gently spreading Gaia’s love and warmth to everyone. That alone is the greatest honor, because... the earth will protect us."

Hearing this, the civilians came to their senses and immediately burst into enthusiastic applause.

Seeing the pleased expressions on the civilians’ faces, the Catastrophe Messenger smiled slightly. Although Le Cheng had never said such words, she believed this must be the Divine Envoy’s intention. Otherwise, when they argued about the height of the statues before, the other party wouldn’t have shown that kind of expression. It seems her understanding is quite high.

Then, she pointed to one side, "Everyone, after visiting the statue of Gaia God, you can go over there to receive the Church’s blessings, and you might even have a chance to receive a special blessing from the Divine Envoy."

"Special blessing? What is that?" someone curiously asked.

"That, I cannot reveal. You’ll experience it on your own."

Watching the mysterious expression of the Catastrophe Messenger, everyone’s curiosity was piqued, and they immediately walked over to the side.

There were about a dozen church staff there, each standing in front of two large boxes, one black and one white.

Seeing someone approaching, a staff member immediately smiled and said, "Everyone, would you like to draw a blessing?"

"Blessing... how do you draw?"

"This white box is the permanent blessing box, the black box is the limited blessing box."

"Permanent? Limited? What’s the difference?"

"Do we have to pay?"

"So strange..."

Facing everyone’s inquiries, the staff explained with a smile, "Whether it’s the permanent box or the limited box, you don’t need to spend money, you just need your sincerity. For the permanent box, just by coming here, each person can draw once. However, for the limited box, you need more sincerity. If you bring your friends and family to visit the statue of Gaia, each person you bring gives you one more chance to draw from the limited box. The more people you bring, the more chances you have."

"Moreover, although both boxes contain the same blessings, the limited box contains more blessings from the Divine Envoy, and if your sincerity is sufficient, you might even have the chance to become a member of our church."

"Really? Such a good deal?" Upon hearing this, people were immediately stunned. Becoming a member of the church meant what? It meant being officially recognized!

"I’ll go first!"

After the staff finished speaking, someone couldn’t wait any longer and reached into the white box, pulling out a white slip of paper.

And as he unfolded the slip of paper, a flash of golden light appeared, and on it was boldly written — Wishing you good health!

Soon after, the slip turned into warm white light and entered the body of this person.

Clap clap clap!

While he was still baffled, the staff around him had already happily started applauding, "Congratulations, you’ve drawn a rare golden blessing."

"What use is his blessing?" he asked blankly.

The staff counter-asked, "Please tell, before this, was your body not quite healthy, for example, occasional back pain or such?"

"Indeed, because of work, my shoulders have been uncomfortable, sometimes suddenly losing strength... Huh?" The man nodded, moving his arms while speaking, but soon his face showed confusion, then joyfully exclaimed, "It’s gone! I no longer feel pain in my waist or shoulders, I feel like I could even carry a whole cow with no problem!"

The staff smiled and said, "This is the value of a rare golden blessing. The sentence you just saw is actually the written form of a Healing Skill, and when you opened it, it healed the ailments in your body."

Healing Spell?!

Upon hearing this, the crowd immediately widened their eyes in astonishment.

Due to the presence of the Catastrophe Legion, the Imperial Capital’s warriors were almost constantly in a state of readiness, which accentuated the importance of Healers. Although healing spells are not omnipotent, if administered in a timely manner, they can not only save the lives of warriors but even restore their combat abilities in a short time. Hence, anyone with healing abilities, be it Mages or Catastrophe Messengers, were highly compensated and assigned within the military.

Due to the military’s extreme demand, there was an almost complete absence of Healers among the civilians.

After all, the importance of the military goes without saying; the same healing spell could be used to heal an ordinary person’s accidentally broken leg or a warrior’s severed arm, and anyone could make that decision easily. Frankly speaking, using precious Healing Skills on ordinary civilians is seen as a waste, since because of the limits on spiritual power, each Healer can perform only a limited number of Healing Spells in their lifetime.

Thus, upon hearing about the Healing Spell, these people were so astonished; they never imagined they could experience a Healing Skill in their lifetime.

For ordinary people, even the lowest level of Healing Skill could instantly restore a sub-healthy person back to healthy state.

Watching this lucky individual who drew a Healing Skill boasting non-stop about his healthy body, others couldn’t sit still and reached for the white treasure chest, yet most only drew regular blessings.

Of course, some didn’t draw from the permanent chest but immediately turned and ran outside.

"Hey, where are you going? Not drawing a blessing?"

"No way! There aren’t many people now, I need to get all my family and friends, I want to draw a limited-time blessing!"

"Damn, why didn’t I think of that, wait for me!"

Thus, those who had finally come to their senses immediately started calling their friends.

Draw from the limited-time box, win the grand prize, get enlisted!

In no time, the entire Imperial Capital square became incredibly lively.

Meanwhile, in some places, some converts who had joined the Catastrophe Legion were caught in a dilemma. On one hand, they wanted to know who this so-called Gaia God really was, and on the other hand, they worried that visiting the statue openly would expose their identities.

Even though Gaia had not yet descended, after all, it was a statue of a deity, who knew if it possessed some special power?

But gradually, as cries of "miracles" continuously came from the Imperial Capital square, they began to become restless.

If the deity was fake, they should try to disrupt the celebration; if the deity was real, they could not simply ignore it.

After some hesitation, these people decided to take a risk to find out.

However, just as they entered the Imperial Capital square, suddenly an excited voice came from ahead.

"I won! Haha! I won!"

Damn it, what did you win?!

The converts thought furiously.
