only god

Chapter 598 The man who betrayed everyone
Eden finally recovered completely. He was no longer in a state of surprise and confusion. He now fully believed that he had traveled through time and space and arrived in the future world.

"Although I don't know why this stone pendant brought me to the future world, God must have His intention in arranging for me to encounter these things."

Eden calmly analyzed,

"Now, I can use this pendant to travel through time and space, and what I do has a great impact on this world.

Assuming, assuming that what the pagans say is true...

Then, I will use everything I have to change this future. "

Thinking of this, Eden took a deep breath, and a lofty sense of mission arose spontaneously. He believed that his coming to this future was meaningful, and perhaps, he had an extraordinary mission.

Eden looked around. It was almost dark.
"Well... I haven't returned to the original world yet. It seems that this time, I will stay here for a while."

Curfew bells are ringing throughout the city, and the top priority now is to find a place to live.

Fortunately, Eden traveled to the battlefield not long ago and plundered some property there, about a dozen coppers, which should be enough to cover a day's stay.

Eden walked through the streets. Although he was unfamiliar with the place, he was still lucky enough to find a hotel where he could stay.

The shabby hotel was located at the junction of the city's slums and the inner city. Eden walked in, and after a brief blessing, he asked the hotel owner for a bed.

"Six flos."

Eden put all the copper coins in his hand on the table. The boss picked up six, weighed them, and returned the other copper coins to Eden.

The priest breathed a sigh of relief and slowly walked up the stairs of the hotel. Hotels like this usually don't have several separate rooms, but a large room with more than a dozen beds. Eden wanted exactly this one. bed.

There were not many people in the big room, there were two three-eyed apes and four humans. Eden randomly found a bed and sat down, preparing to close his eyes and rest.

At this moment, a three-eyed ape man stood up and walked over to Iden intentionally or unintentionally. The priest glanced at him warily, and saw the latter pretending to be careless and drawing on the wall with his fingers wet with water. An arc.

"This…"

Eden looked at the arc, and then at the three-eyed ape-man. The latter's eyes fell in other directions, not looking in his direction.

This seemed to be some kind of manipulation of secret codes. Eden suspected that the three-eyed ape-man regarded him as the person who came to contact him.

He glanced at the arc on the wall, lowered his head, and thought for a moment.

Eden hesitated, and silently entered into a state of spiritual practice.

There is a trace of spirituality left in that arc.

The priest guessed something.

I am not someone who comes here to join in. I should not get involved in this kind of thing.

However, if you don't get involved, you may miss some useful clues.

Eden looked at the three-eyed ape man, scanned the code, and after intense thinking, made up his mind.

Take a gamble!

Anyway, it won't be long before he returns to his original world.

Eden took a deep breath, stretched out his hand, and drew another arc following the arc. The two arcs joined together to form a circle.

Then, he lowered his voice and whispered:

“May the Lord bless you.”

The three-eyed ape man immediately turned his head and calmly recited a verse,
"You must lay down your life, and you must deny yourself..."

Eden breathed a sigh of relief and immediately continued:
"As you believe."

After the words fell, the three-eyed ape-man nodded imperceptibly, and then lowered his voice and said:
"My true godbrother, come with me tonight."

Eden nodded slightly, it seemed that he had guessed correctly.

During the whole process, I used three parts reasoning and seven parts guessing.

That arc has actually appeared in the history of True Religion. Probably before the coming of the Kingdom of Heaven, the persecuted True believers would often draw a circle to indicate each other's identities on the eve of underground gatherings.

Eden thought of this and combined it with the information that the man was a three-eyed ape. The land of Aga was the origin of the church. Many three-eyed apes in that area had converted to the true religion, so he speculated that the man should be a true religion. Believers.

"It seems that even in this pagan-dominated city, our faith has not been cut off and is still surviving tenaciously."

Eden thought so and felt moved in his heart.

When he walked into the city, he couldn't see a church. It would be a lie to say that he didn't have any emotions in his heart.

At that time, even though I was mentally prepared, there was still a slight feeling of despair passing through my heart.He couldn't help but stood up, walked to the window, and took in half of the pagan city. He would not forget that those pagan priests claimed that the Lord was dead and would not live again. Those pagan priests Discriminating against true believers and calling the latter contemptuously stupid, at this time, Eden particularly wanted to quote and adapt Althea's words: The so-called new god... is like a breeze, a buzz of insects, and a snowflake. , disappeared in the blink of an eye, but even after tens of millions of years, the Lord still wanted to save the whole world for one person.

....................................

Before long, night fell completely. The sky was covered with thick clouds and mist. It seemed like it was going to rain tonight, and the city almost fell into deathly silence.

The two three-eyed ape-men got up from the bed almost in unison. After scanning for a week to confirm that all the humans were asleep, the three-eyed ape-man who drew an arc walked to Iden and waved to him.

Eden stood up from the bed quickly.

"May the Lord bless you."

The three-eyed ape-man whispered.

Eden nodded,

"Bless you too."

"Come with us, Father Bruce is coming to preach today."

A three-eyed ape said.

Then they hurried out of the big room. Two three-eyed ape-men were holding lamps and seemed to be wearing daggers at their waists. Under the cover of darkness, they hurriedly rushed out of the hotel, looking back and forth from time to time.

In this pagan city, true religious beliefs are not allowed. When the giant king's sect conquered the city, they required the true believers in the city to either convert or become slaves. In addition, those pagans The religious rulers also razed one of the two churches in the city to the ground and converted the other into a lecture hall.

Although many true believers converted on the spot in order to survive, they still maintained their belief in the true religion in private.

Because of this, since the fall of the city, countless priests have risked their lives to come to this pagan city to preach, preach and say mass for the true believers who adhere to their faith.

Eden followed the two three-eyed ape-men, crossed the spacious street, avoided the sight of the guards, and headed towards the edge of the city. There was a large piece of flat land nearby. After crossing the flat land, he saw a vast area all around. Desolate and silent, Eden followed them to an alley. The two three-eyed ape-men looked left and right before continuing to lead him towards the alley. The night sky above his head was extremely dark, and the moonlight was obscured by dark clouds. middle.

After turning around several alleys and passing through several open spaces, when Eden felt dizzy, the pace of the three-eyed apes slowed down. Eden looked to both sides and saw several black figures holding lamps.

As soon as these people saw Eden and the others, they came up and blessed them.

Everyone walked together, and as we walked forward, we saw more and more people. There were subtle lights flickering all around, and there were a few prayers in the crowd from time to time. Eden listened carefully, and most of them were scriptures that he was familiar with.

The night was very dark and it was difficult to identify the direction. The people around seemed familiar with this area. This was the edge of the city. True believers gathered here, as if they were isolated from each other and had nothing to do with the pagan city at their feet.

The dark clouds slowly passed, and the moonlight emerged, reflecting on the earth. At this time, Eden found that the open space under his feet was filled with black shadows like a sea of ​​people. They were silent under the dark night, as silent as ever, holding on to what belonged to them. faith.

Eden's heart beat violently.

If there is even one traitor here, everyone here will be wiped out.

True believers would not have thought of this, but they still gathered here, listened to the priest's sermons, and said their own mass.

The lights dimmed, torches were lit all around, and the space in front of him was much brighter than before.

Eden stood, and the two three-eyed ape-men seemed to have disappeared. For some reason, a faint song spread among the crowd. It was a hymn, and people were singing for their faith.

I don't know how many people raised their heads and stared at the vast sky. The clouds kept passing by, but the sky still remained. They seemed to be pleading and praying, waiting for someone's return and the day of victory.

In the subtle singing, Eden breathed heavily and his hands trembled with excitement. He felt sincere nostalgia.

"Bruce, Bruce is here!"

There was a burst of noise from the crowd, and everyone was looking in the same direction, including Eden.

It was a middle-aged man dressed as a priest. He stood on a high platform, raised his hand, and motioned for everyone to quiet down.

In response to the priest's gesture, the true believers slowly became quiet. A strange rustling sound came from the distance, but no one paid attention. People's attention was on the priest, waiting for him to lead everyone in mass.

Eden held his breath and entered a spiritual state. He subconsciously stared at the priest's soul.

The moment he looked over, Eden was stunned.

That soul is filled with countless sins.

Suddenly, Eden had an ominous premonition. He looked around the whole place and found that nearly half of the city's true believers had gathered.

There seemed to be a voice in his heart, urging him to stand up and stand up.

"Leave! Get out of here! There is no Mass you want here!"

Eden stumbled forward, shouting at the top of his lungs.

In the streets outside the open space, at some point, there was the sound of the clatter of iron armor colliding.
