Chapter 1015 Heavenly Teaching 2
Arriving at the Paradise Church Square, Miranda felt like she was home. She liked quiet places where she could have enough food. Other places in the royal capital felt noisy to the woman.
"Look there, this is the largest watch face in the Kingdom of Lulucia. Not even the king's family owns it."
The highest building of the church is undoubtedly the focus of the entire building, like a giant hand pointing to the sky, with a huge dial built on it.
The huge dial is made of simple bronze. After years of baptism, it exudes a deep and heavy luster. The hands are carefully crafted, and each scale is extremely precise. Under the sunlight, it sparkles brightly.
The numbers on the dial are engraved in ancient fonts, full of mysterious charm. The pointer moves steadily, and the "tick-tick" sound is like the heartbeat of time.
The church clocks record every minute and every second slowly and accurately, and they stick to their duties regardless of day or night.
During the day, the sun shines on the dial, and the shadow of the pointer moves slowly, just like the steady pace of time.
Even at a distance of 2 kilometers, people can clearly see the time on the dial. In every corner of the city, busy people occasionally look up in the direction of the church to know the exact time and arrange their affairs reasonably.
When night falls and the town is shrouded in darkness, the clock face on top of the church remains eye-catching.
The surrounding lights shine softly on the dial, and the hands continue to turn tirelessly, as if telling the eternity of time.
When people far away see the slightly glowing dial in the night, they will have the coordinates of time in their hearts and feel more secure and peaceful.
Since its completion, the big bell of this church has not only been a recorder of time, but also a loyal companion of town life. The Kingdom of Lulucia has become completely dependent on it.
In the world of pirates, watches are high-end craftsman products that ordinary families simply cannot afford. Most of the hand-crafted works of art made by high-end craftsmen are circulated in the hands of the powerful.
Only the powerful care more about their time, fearing that they will lose if they live one second less. The poor do not care about their time, they just feel that it is not enough, they have endless work to do, and they live a repetitive and miserable life.
Zoro stood in the square outside the church, listening to the prayers of the people around him, his eyes fixed on the huge bronze dial. It looked very familiar to him. He thought he had seen it somewhere recently.
"That's it. Yes, it must be it! It's exactly the same as I remembered yesterday."
Zoro could not help but exclaim loudly, earning the surrounding believers and tourists' stares. What an impolite green algae head, speaking so loudly and disturbing others.
Suddenly being stared at by dozens of pairs of malicious eyes, Zoro knew that he was making a mistake by making loud noises, so he chose not to confront them head-on for the time being. He took a few steps back and did not intend to argue with ordinary people.
The bronze dial at the highest point of the church was almost exactly the same as the dial that appeared in the sky in his memory last night.
There is no difference in the interior and hands of the dial. The bronze material can be recognized at first glance, which is the first of its kind in the Kingdom of Lulucia.
"If we destroy this dial, can my life return to normal?" Miranda's eyes suddenly turned red after hearing Sauron's explanation. She had been waiting for this day for a long time.
The continuous repetitive life made Miranda live the same life for several months, which was unbearable for any normal person.
The fact that Miranda has been able to hold on until now proves her mental strength. If it were an ordinary person, she would have gone crazy and committed self-harm long ago.
The woman has forgotten the favor of the Heavenly Church, and Miranda searches the crowd for tools that could be used to commit the crime.
She now had only one idea in her mind, which was to climb to the highest point of the church, completely destroy the bronze dial, release the time stored in it, and restore the second day of normalcy to the Kingdom of Lulucia.
The bird and the man thought Miranda was too impulsive and hurriedly stopped the woman. At the moment, they could not be sure whether the bronze dial of the Heavenly Church was the culprit of the disaster that befell the Kingdom of Lulucia.
He came to someone else's territory rashly and smashed the most important dial mechanism of the church without saying hello. Not to mention the priest's opinion afterwards, the believers and tourists around would rush over and would not disturb the blasphemer.
"Let's go into the church and take a look. Maybe we don't need to destroy the bronze dial. We can just go to the dial's control room and maybe we can find the problem."
There must be a room for repairing clocks next to the bronze dial hanging on the building. The overall architecture of the church must have reserved space for it. Otherwise, if the clock breaks down, it would be too dangerous to climb to the highest point to repair it every time.
Miranda was definitely more familiar with the interior of the church than the two outsiders, so she took the initiative to walk in front to lead the way. As for the control room that Crow mentioned, the woman seemed to have heard the teacher mention it.
The church is not a small space, with rows of believers sitting on the benches inside. They explain heaven from a spiritual level according to their own understanding and actively seek the sublimation and liberation of their own souls.
The inside of the church was even quieter than the church square. The prayers of the believers were very weak, and their minds were full of themselves, ignoring the people closest to them.
"Is there anything wrong in Shisui Church?"
In order to avoid being discovered by outsiders, it had already crawled into Zoro's sleeve. When the two sides were communicating, Zoro had to raise his arm, put his right ear close to the bird's beak, and listen to Shisui's next instructions.
"There is a strange guy. Don't talk to me for now. I will pretend to be an ordinary crow."
Shisui fell silent, leaving Zoro a little confused. Miranda was searching for the stairs going upwards, occasionally asking the believers beside her how to reach the highest building of the church.
All I got in return were impatient looks in my eyes. If it weren't for the fact that Miranda had heavy dark circles under her eyes and scary makeup, she would have looked like an old witch who never slept all year round.
If it were a normal person, Miranda would definitely be scolded on the spot for interrupting the believers' communication with heaven. No matter whether you are a man or a woman, it is wrong to delay other people's practice.
Miranda admitted that she was not well-informed. When she came to the church before, she rarely walked up the stairs to the higher buildings of the church.
She usually stays at the food distribution point of the Paradise Church. This kind of charity event usually takes place in Guang. If she is late by accident, she will most likely not receive free relief because the number of places for relief from the Paradise Church is limited.
If all the untouchables of the entire Lulucia Kingdom were to lie on the body of the Heavenly Church, greedily absorbing nutrients, the Heavenly Church would collapse in a few days.
There is no religious tax introduced to the public, but believers are encouraged to donate actively. If the rich donate more generously, more untouchables will be rescued, and more believers will be liberated and ascend to heaven, which is already a bit conscientious.
Whether the so-called heaven is a lie or not, no one in the church can give a true answer. Perhaps only Father Pucci can truly know the entrance to heaven.
