Chapter 292: Backlight (Part 2)
Although no other buildings are originally allowed on the Pure White Square, over more than a year, the citizens of the Holy City have grown accustomed to the presence of this church.
The awakening light shining through the stained glass windows of the small chapel intertwines with the dusk light of the cathedral, becoming yet another unique scenery line in the Holy City.
Many people say that as long as you gaze upon this radiance, you can feel a sense of inner peace and slowly rising vitality.
Because the awakening of the Saintess always ends, this time-limited scene has also attracted many artists who come in admiration, wishing to capture that unique color on paper.
[Speaking of which, the entertainment level of the Kingdom is (50- only traditional entertainment (festivals, competitions), 50+ with a renaissance (literature, art), 70+ with popular trends (opera, concerts), 90+ with movies being made)]
D70+30=d70(66)+30=96
It is said that before the capital suffered, someone invented an arcane apparatus combining recording magic and projection magic, allowing everyone to capture images and create works. Through post-production, it could even conjure magnificent scenes that do not exist in reality.
If not for the calamity that led to the stagnation of the Kingdom's entertainment industry, the Hero might have seen this tool during the previous ceremony.
However, with the stabilization of the situation, the Kingdom's entertainment industry has begun its revival.
In addition to artists, many life professionals who call themselves photographers, carrying arcane apparatus, have come to the Pure White Square, attempting to permanently preserve this beautiful color.
Unfortunately, whether it's the awakening light or the dusk light, the magical information they contain is unimaginably vast. No matter how photographers try to manipulate their devices, the images captured are only superficial, far less compelling than what the naked eye sees.
Throughout the year, many events, big and small, also took place in the Holy City, such as the hibernation of the Holy Snake Sect and the destruction of the Black Dream Sect...
Every time the Noble Lady comes to the small chapel, she always softly confesses to the Light Cocoon.
Unlike when the Hero turned into an egg, the Light Cocoon does not respond to her, but she doesn't see it as futile and passionately shares various interesting stories with the Hero every day.
Time passes day by day, and the season of [] arrives.
1. Harvest
2. Midsummer

The heat of midsummer begins to fade, and the Pure White Square often feels refreshing breezes wandering through.
The mountain forest outside the city has already turned golden and fiery red, showcasing the final splendor of nature for the year.
Autumn has arrived.

Autumn is a season of harvest when many places hold grand festivities to celebrate the reward of a year's labor.
Last year, due to the collapse of the capital, most of the Kingdom's resources were concentrated on disaster relief and rebuilding the capital. As a result, harvest festivals across the country were significantly scaled down, and even the Holy City was no exception.
But more than a year has passed, the Kingdom gradually restored its vitality and peace, and the new Saintess foiled the Black Gate's plot against the Holy Capital in advance.
People resumed their stable lives, and the streets were once again filled with a thriving atmosphere.
Although the high-ranking members of the Kingdom are well aware that the real crisis is not far away, this does not hinder the people from holding grand festivals to welcome the season of harvest.
The Holy City is adorned with lanterns and colors everywhere, from the main streets to alleyways, decorated to match the city district's palette, exuding a lively atmosphere no less than a year ago when preparing for the Saintess's selection.
And the Evil-breaking Church, which was deserted a year ago, is now bustling with people.
Believers, adventurers, and even commoners, holding the spoils obtained after goblin extermination, come for registration and drawing lots, hoping to gain the qualification to worship inside the small chapel.
'Kill more goblins, and you can meet the Saintess.'
Thanks to this groundbreaking initiative jointly proposed by the Gleaming Scale Serpent and the cruising bishop, there isn't even a trace of goblin footprints around the Holy City now.
Of course, there are always those trying to take shortcuts, but none can escape the Judgement Court's thunderous action.
"Speaking of which, many citizens plan to offer prayers to the Heroine during the harvest day, thanking her for her protection over the past year."
The Noble Lady, who can enter the small chapel without drawing lots or making reservations, once again comes to the Light Cocoon. She thinks of the lively scene she saw on her way, talking to the Gleaming Scale Serpent beside her.
"I've also received many invitations in this regard, hoping I'd preside over ceremonies, but unfortunately, I'm tied up," the Gleaming Scale Serpent responds with a hint of regret.
Just like in the lake town during the autumn fishing festival, a Ceremony of Unsheathing the Sword is held to offer prayers and energy to the Lake Holy Sword, the Holy City festival also includes a process of offering prayers to symbols.
Although the church itself does not worship specific gods, it does not oppose such ceremonies based on pure faith.
And with numerous churches and holy artifacts in the Holy City, the citizens' prayer targets are naturally diverse.
Many citizens have already decided to take the Hero's transformation Light Cocoon as an object of devoted offering.
