Looking in the direction the Black Dragon Saint pointed, the crowd parted, and a large number of Shield Knights, along with Round Table Knights and others, emerged from the gates of the Red Orchid Church.
Standing respectfully on both sides, a Black-robed Great Master in a black long robe, flanked by twelve Black-robed High Priests, came out with a commanding presence from the church.
He walked up to the high platform in the square.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the annual church grand ceremony! To thank you all for your long-standing support, we have decided to open the gifts of the gods and reward you all!!!" said the Black-robed Great Master.
"Thank the gods! Thank the Black-robed Great Master!"
"Long Live the Black-robed Great Master!!!"
"Long Live the Red Orchid Church!!!"
Upon hearing her words, the people below immediately burst into cheers and excitement.
They waved their arms vigorously, jumping up and down.
It took a good while before they finally calmed down.
