Chapter 397: I’m Sinful
The surrounding bodyguards in black suits rushed forward. They first checked the wheelchair, checked the ground, and let a burly man push the wheelchair, only to find that it was still the same.
A secretary-like person next to Orasis hurried over and asked Hartchy,
“Mr. Hartchy, what’s… what’s going on here?”
Hartchy said solemnlym,
“In front is the statue of the Goddess. Although the Goddess is generous and benevolent, her divine power still has to be respected. Since Mr. Orasis has chosen to come to see the Goddess and bathe in the glory of the Goddess, he should maintain enough respect for the Goddess instead of sitting in a wheelchair. “
After hearing this, Orasis’ wife said anxiously,
“However, he was paralyzed and unable to move 3 months ago. The doctor of the Mayo Clinic said it was difficult for him to stand up…”
Hartchy said seriously,
“The true God is omnipotent, and the true God will never force others. Since there is such a requirement, Mr. Orasis must be able to do it.”
The woman frowned and said,
“This is still not forcing? I think you guys are making things difficult on purpose! I knew your church is not reliable…”
Suddenly, she shut up.
Because Orasis, who was sitting in a wheelchair, raised his hand.
The skin on his hands was loose like a wrinkle, covered with age spots full of aging, which let people associate with the moldy coffin…
A series of “click” sounds of unknown meaning came out from his throat. After a few minutes, he said in a hoarse and difficult tone,
“Help me up.”
Hearing his words, a bodyguard next to him hurried forward to support him.
After standing up unsteadily, Orasis let out a long breath, shook off the hand of the bodyguard next to him, and slowly walked into the lobby in front of him.
The invisible barrier that was blocking the front of the wheelchair suddenly disappeared.
Witnessing this scene, the 2 accompanying private doctors immediately widened their eyes!!
They were the clearest about the condition of Orasis. Knowing that in the scope of modern medicine, such a patient had no possibility of standing up on his own throughout his life.
However, the facts speak louder than words, such a living example happened in front of them!!
“A miracle…” A private doctor couldn’t help muttering.
He just felt that something in his heart was rapidly collapsing. It was the palace of science accumulated bit by bit with the scientific knowledge he had learned since he entered university.
At this time, Orasis was also extremely excited.
When he was outside before, he only felt that the inside was only brightly lit.
But after entering the door, there was an altar full of religious meaning more than 20 meters away.
The marble columns around the altar were simple and thick. The column body gradually shrank from bottom to top. The surface of the columns was carved with flying olive leaves, and the grooves were dense and deep.
The top of the marble column was in a spiral shape. There were relief friezes on the side, which had a rich sense of rhythm.
If one looked carefully, he could still find that there were traces of carving with knives and axes and old cracks on the surface of the altar.
Therefore, in addition to the low-key luxury at first glance, there was also an unspeakable historical vicissitude.
Around the altar, more than a dozen women wearing green olive tree crowns and ancient Greek white robes were silently praying together.
Above the altar, there stood a six-meter-tall Goddess statue!
The statue was as white as jade. It seemed to be made of unknown materials. The decorations were made of ivory and gold. The posture was elegant. The clothing lines flowed smoothly and gracefully.
That kind of majesty, holiness, and solemnity had already made people want to worship involuntarily.
That was not all. Under the statue of the Goddess, there was a woman in a luxurious and complicated dress.
It was High Priestess Trigoneia.
Her fair and smooth skin seemed to be lingering with snow light. Her blue pupils were as cold as the snow in the Alps.
There was a lively and bright luster on the long flaxen hair. She held a golden dual snake scepter, exuding a powerful aura. One couldn’t look directly at her at all!
After seeing this woman, Hartchy and others who entered later knelt down on one knee and sang the hymn of the Goddess loudly with the women on the altar.
The melodious harmony echoes in the hall. It could even evoke the glory of Athens in the past!
In such an atmosphere, Orasis himself was also infected. He couldn’t help but half-kneel, easily blending into the holy singing team.
For some reason, he suddenly felt that his idea of ??choosing a mate seemed wrong. Mature women looked very attractive too!! Some bold ideas even began to emerge in his heart.
After the hymn was sung, the high priestess walked down the steps and said to Orasis faintly,
“Goddess said that you are sinful. You are too arrogant, so you have lost the humility you should have.”
Orasis trembled suddenly. He wanted to say something, but when he looked at the high priestess’ cold and majestic blue pupils, he was so overwhelmed by this aura that he couldn’t even utter a word of defense.
An indescribable sadness welled up in his heart.
He could only kneel down on the ground, buried his face deep in his palms and said in a trembling voice,
“Yes, I’m sinful. I shouldn’t have had such blasphemous thoughts before…”
High Priestess Trigoneia said faintly,
“You go. Goddess is proud and will not haggle with mortals.”
After hearing this, Orasis immediately choked up and said,
“I know I’m guilty, but I’m willing to repent. I beg the Goddess not to reject me! I’m willing to sacrifice half of my property to the Goddess!”
Hearing these words, the wife next to him panicked and hurriedly stood up to check his condition. Even the lawyer stepped forward in shock and said loudly,
“Mr. Orasis, I have to confirm that you said this in a sane state!!”
Seriously, half of Orasis’ property was tens of billions of euros.
Facing the 2 people, Orasis, who seemed to be in his dying years, slapped them hard. A clear palm print could be seen on his wife’s face.
The lawyer even staggered backward!
“Get lost!! I’m sober now. I have the right to do anything to my property!!”
After he finished roaring, he immediately knelt down again and said in a trembling voice,
“I’m guilty! I beg the Goddess not to give up on me!”
High Priestess Trigoneia shook her head slightly and said,
“The true God is dismissive of worldly wealth. You should go.”
After finishing speaking, Orasis felt that he was pushed to the door by a gentle and invisible force. The force seemed gentle, but it was irresistible!
He could only watch helplessly as the rest of the believers in the hall began to pray, bless and so on.
Orasis had not experienced this feeling of being within reach but out of grasp for many, many years.
His mood was full of melancholy and rage now. Even the doctors who surrounded him for inspection were scolded by him one after another.
After a while, after the prayer ceremony was over, Hartchy and others filed out to receive Orasis.
After calming down, Orasis realized that his condition had improved a lot. At least, he could walk normally. He even felt a rare feeling of hunger.
Orasis had been paralyzed for 3 months, and he had been relying on nasal feeding for the past 2 months.
Of course, in Hartchy’s manor, it was absolutely necessary to entertain Orasis, the distinguished guest, for a meal, so a group of wealthy people ate and chatted at the dinner.
Orasis was already full of interest in the Goddess church, so the topics during the meal were almost all around the Goddess. He finally said very seriously,
“Mr. Hartchy, I heard that you are the holy elect of the church. I really offended the Goddess this time. I’m sincerely willing to sacrifice half of my property to make atonement.”
Hartchy smiled and said,
“Mr. Orasis, worldly wealth is nothing in the eyes of the true God. What the true God needs is your piety.”
Labri on the side said with deep emotion,
“I thought the same way at the beginning, thinking that the true God is like the rest of the secular fake Gods who gather worldly wealth in the name of faith, but that’s not the case, Mr. Orasis.”
“Take me as an example. Although I rushed to donate 20 million euros when building the statue for the Goddess, the worldly wealth returned to me by the grace of the Goddess is ten times that!!”
Another rich man, Dart, said in an envious tone,
“Mr. Hartchy is the lucky one. He met the true Goddess first and got the good deed of enshrining the Goddess.”
