The pastor of St. John's Church, Broca, was waiting in front of the gate on time, and opened the door of the church without missing a second.
If it was in the past, believers outside the church would have formed a long queue, waiting for Broca to open the gate, enter the church, and have a new day of morning prayer.
But since the coronation of Victoria's new king, everything has changed.
The originally thriving church was hit by the imperial power all-pervasively. Either construction was carried out on the road to the church, blocking believers, or events and celebrations were held in places far away from the church to attract crowds.All in all, the number of believers accumulated over a long period of time has dropped sharply to less than [-]%.
And this [-]% was taken away by the new church, the Anglican Church, which took the bottom line.
Broca was bitter, but Broca didn't say anything.She is a steadfast pastor and a devout do-gooder. She doesn't care about money or power. She only hopes to help believers relieve their suffering and sorrow.Therefore, even if the Anglican Church had opened the church opposite her and attracted his beloved believers away, he had no complaints.
Just like what is said in the scriptures, he only needs to walk her way and do her things, and for the rest, God will naturally protect her.
The door of the church opened slowly. To his surprise, the door of the church today was not empty.A girl with long gray hair and an aggressive expression was standing in front of the gate, as if waiting for her.
"Are you a believer?"
As Broca thought in his heart, he couldn't help being a little surprised.
The Anglican Church on the opposite side provides a free nutritious breakfast during the morning prayer. Most believers will choose to go to the Church of the Anglican Church to pray during the morning prayer. Therefore, although there are still some Believers, but they will only come in the afternoon.
There are still people who come here to pray in the morning?
Broca was a little suspicious at first, but then smiled in relief. Finally, under Indra's surprised eyes, he held Indra's shoulders, guided her to turn around, stretched out his hand for her, and pointed to In the direction of the Anglican Church, he suggested with a gentle and sincere tone:
"Son, if you want to have morning prayer, you can go to the Anglican church opposite, they will provide free breakfast. If you want, you can come back after breakfast and tell me your troubles, I am happy Let's work it out with you."
Indra froze, a little dumbfounded.
Wait, what's going on?
A priest of the Lateran Catholic Church suggested that I go to an Anglican church for morning prayer?
Indra's first reaction was that this man might not be a fool. He didn't know that the Anglican Church was now the mortal enemy of the Lateran Catholic Church.But seeing the sincere smile on Broca's face, she was a little shaken.
She really seemed to think so.
That would be strange.
The purpose of Indra's coming to the church is naturally not to pray, but to inquire about information. To be precise, it is to find out how much these "nail houses" who are unwilling to submit to the Anglican Church have in their minds.She and several companions of the Glasgow Gang split up, and she chose to go to St. John's Church in the morning because she learned about St. John's predicament at this time. She believed that at this time, going to the church to pray in a timely manner would be more trustworthy by the church owner.
What, you think it is impossible for me, Indra, to come up with such an operation?
Hehe, I think you look down on me, Indra!Of course I can't think of it, but Sister Wei Na can figure it out, I'm in charge of the implementation and it's over, anyway, it's been done this way all along!
All the brains are left to the eldest sister and Gao Wen, I just need to follow the steps to smash the enemy's brains!
But at the first step of her plan, she obviously encountered a different kind.
I only heard that the church is scrambling for believers, but I have never heard of the believers being driven out, or even driven to the enemy. Are you sure you are not an undercover agent planted by Sister Wei Na in the church?
Seeing Indra standing still, Broca was not impatient, and asked softly:
"What's wrong?"
"No...I'm just curious, why can't I pray with you?"
"Because our church is poor, we can't provide you with breakfast." Broca looked at Indra and said,
"You are from the civilian area of Dongcheng District in Londinium. Where is this kind of wild dress popular? If you come here so early, I think you haven't had breakfast yet, so I suggest you go there."
Broca thought for a while and added:
"Actually, if you are worried that the teachings of Anglicanism do not meet your needs, there is no need. Although it is a bit outrageous, I have indeed read the scriptures written by Anglicanism. The content of Tran's original scriptures is similar, except that some strict religious regulations and rituals have been deleted. For a person with your personality, the less restrictive dogma should be more suitable for you. So , go at ease, the Lord will forgive your disrespect."
"Why do you say that?" Indra frowned and said, she had a vague feeling in her heart that she might not be able to complete the task this time.
Broca thought for a while, and said:
"Because the Lord leads people to do good, but not all good things come from the Lord. The church is the shadow of the Lord on earth, but the Lord is not the church. Therefore, where you go to pray, whom you pray to, and in what way you pray It doesn't matter."
"As long as you have faith in your heart, believe in the Lord, and believe in goodness, you will be able to receive the Lord's forgiveness, right?"
As she spoke, she blinked her smart eyes,
"Of course, if you would like to have morning prayer here, I can prepare it for you in a moment."
Indra shook his head, waved his hands, and took a step back slightly:
"No need. I think I have achieved my purpose."
"Purpose?" Broca frowned suspiciously.
But Indra did not explain, but turned around and said as he walked:
"Well, we still have a chance to meet again, Miss Nun."
..........
In the evening, the reception hall of the Iron Palace of Londinium.
Wayne leaned sideways on the model of Big Ben, watching Indra and others report today's situation to Weina.
They are all gang members in the common area of Londinium, and many of them are the younger brothers of Zeng Wei Na. For methods such as "kissing around", "asking the price", "bargaining", "buying and selling by force", even Lun The mayors of Tinim are not as skilled as they are.
"The price tag in the heart of the bishop of St. Mark's Church is not to lose the status and wealth of the pastor."
"The Bishop of Andros Cathedral wants money for his retirement."
"The priests of the Gronica Church want to keep several orphanages under the name of the church. According to the investigation, those orphanages seem to have been relying on the funding of the church to exist. The priests of the Gronica Church are unwilling to make concessions. For the children in the orphanage."
After listening to them one by one, Wei Na gave the answer.
"According to the information, the priest of St. Mark's Church is one of the churches that make the most money. He offered him a price. He has no status, and the price is [-] gold coins. If you don't want to, use coercive measures."
"The bishop of Andros Cathedral seems to be in his 80s. There is nothing wrong with his resume, but since he wants to retire, why not recruit him? Give him money and let him retire safely."
"The problem with Gronica is our negligence. I will immediately arrange for the city magistrate to contact the orphanage. I will ask again at that time. I can give some more compensation and try to recruit those priests. "
After Wei Na finished speaking, she looked suspiciously at Indra who said nothing, and asked:
"What happened? Indra, you are not such a dull person. St. John's Church is difficult to solve?"
Indra took a deep breath, nodded unwillingly, and replied:
"Sister Broca of St. John's Church, she doesn't care about money, she doesn't care about power, she doesn't even care about the differences between the Anglican and Lateran Churches, he doesn't object to the Anglican scriptures, and even studies them, she thinks the Church is the shadow of God, but God is not the Church...."
"She advocated that the cumbersome etiquette and regulations are actually not necessary, as long as you are devout enough, your faith can be saved."
"I don't think ... there is a possibility that she can be peacefully persuaded to leave the church."
Wei Na frowned deeply, nodded, and looked at Wei En beside her.
Wayne straightened up with great interest, walked to the sofa and sat down, saying:
"Leave this person to me."
Faith saves....
Why is this sentence so familiar?
ps: I admit it, I suffered a typo, set a flag here and accumulate ten typos in the future plus one more chapter
Section 28 leave note, make it up tomorrow
A relative I didn’t know well in my hometown passed away. I went to attend the funeral today. I sang Buddha and worshiped in circles. It’s almost ten o’clock now. I just came back from the funeral home and went to the hotel to rest. There is no computer in the hotel. It's really hard to move, and people are too sleepy.Take a day off today.Try to come back early tomorrow to update, this chapter will be added.
Chapter 29 Chapter 27 Find a Helper
Wayne can be regarded as a person who has seen big winds and waves. He naturally has in-depth research on many characters on the land of Terra.
To treat good people, one should talk about gifts and friendship, which is why Wayne wants to establish a good relationship with Sir Chen and Shi Huaiya in advance.
When dealing with bad guys, weapons and tactics are the top priority. When necessary, they can do everything they can. They pay attention to cutting grass and roots, so as not to leave any future troubles. Therefore, Wayne did not rashly look for Tallulah who is probably already wandering in the ice field in the northern part of Ursas, because He still didn't have the confidence to kill the undead black snake with one blow.
But how to deal with a nun with a firm belief, Wayne has never had a good idea.
Although Broca, the nun and head of the St. John's Cathedral, has the same name as a certain Syracuse chainsaw guy in Wayne's impression, they are two completely different people.Her belief is pure and firm, and she is not interested in money, power, status and a series of mundane things that Venn can promise. This kind of person is the most troublesome, because having no desires and desires means invulnerability.
But as a human being, can Sister Broca really be completely desireless?
That is of course impossible. If such a person really exists, she will either live a long life and live in seclusion in the mountains, so that she will never appear in Wen En's eyes, or she will shine across the sky like a meteor, and then be quickly caught by this person. The darkness engulfing the whole land naturally poses no threat to Wayne.
But Broca is neither of the two. She has been a nun in St. John's Cathedral for nearly ten years, all the way from a child to the current mature lady. It means that she must have the desire to support herself to live.
What could this desire be?
As long as you find this secret, pull out the most difficult nail in the Reformation, and even use her for yourself, it will be easy.
But in theory, Venn can't find this loophole. Broca lives in faith, and the things that support her to the present must also be related to faith, and Venn...
Unfortunately, whether in the previous life or the present, Wayne Bruce has never had anything to do with the word faith.
But there is a sequence of hearing, and there are specializations in art. If he doesn't understand, it doesn't mean that other people don't understand, and if others don't understand, it doesn't mean that no one in this world will understand.What Wei En wants to do is not to be Zhang Liang, but to be Liu Bang.
Londinium, 125 Embassy Street, Saints Inn.
Embassy Street is the embassy area specially built by the Victorian royal family for the countries of Terra. It is also the most special place in the expensive Lundinium city except the core area "Lentinium Financial City". Here, the traditional Lundinium Mu's Celtic architecture and iconic clock tower are gone, replaced by Ursus-style bastion embassies, Yanmen-style yamen mansions, Kazdel-style Gothic buildings, and Saarland-style buildings. Gong style....um....loess house?
Well, let us move our eyes away from those Sargon chieftains who have just stepped into the civilized world. In this Terra version of "Global Village" that integrates business and political factors, Saints Hotel No. 125 , is undoubtedly a not so conspicuous existence.
Although the Saints Hotel has a very Rutland-style name, it actually has nothing to do with the Rutland embassy two blocks away, at least not on the surface.
The hotel is run by a Sakota businessman who left his hometown. He is responsible for receiving some Lateran people who come to Victoria and are not used to the raw food, etiquette and lifestyle of Victoria. Sometimes they also receive some people who want to experience Latland No matter in the off-season or the peak season, there is an endless stream of tourists living in Tran style, but there is no doubtful sign.
But as the saying goes, if the mountain is not high, there will be a name if there are immortals; if the water is not deep, there will be a spirit if there is a dragon.
Just like the one Wayne is going to see now.
"Contact Miss Mostima in Room 666 for me."
He took out a Lateran gold coin from his pocket, and pushed it to the front desk of the hotel with a smile on his face. Wei En's friendly smile and generous hand immediately won the favor of the Miss Filin at the front desk.
Miss Ferring winked at Wayne, pushed the Rutland gold coin back, and said:
"Sorry, whether it's gold coins or people, we only accept Victoria's here."
"Uh....."
Feilin smiled coquettishly, picked up the landline microphone on the table, and dialed the internal line of room 666: "Hi, hello, is this Ms. Mostima from room 666? This is the front desk of the hotel. There is a gentleman who claims to be your My friend, I want to find you, please..."
There was a brief response from the other end of the phone. After a while, Ferlin put down the microphone in his hand, looked at Wayne and said:
"Miss Mostima asked you to go directly upstairs to find her, and turn right to the third room on the sixth floor."
...........
"Bang bang."
He knocked on the door in front of him, and with a light beep, the electronic door lock automatically opened, and Wayne pushed the door open and entered.
Mostima is wearing a black priest's attire at the moment, and it seems that she is in evening prayer. The loose black robe does not affect her beauty at all, but adds to her a sense of holiness that is otherworldly. The pull in her hand The Tran scripture looks a little wrinkled, as if it is often flipped, and the other hand is holding the cross tightly. The gold leaf on it has faded, revealing the silver inside.
Her eyes were closed tightly, and she was muttering words. Even though Wayne had already walked into the living room, she recited a prayer gently unmoved, and then slowly opened her eyes, revealing the deep pupils of Gujing Wubo, and blinked. Blinking, when he looked at Wayne, he couldn't help but feel a little relaxed.
"His Highness Wayne came to me this time, is there anything you want to say to His Holiness the Pope?"
Mostima took off his heavy teaching gown, put on his usual jacket and vest again, sat on the sofa to the left of Wayne, and asked.
Although she was ordered to stay in Londinium to monitor Vin's every move, in fact, as a Sakota who was suppressed, she could not enter the palace or see Vin. It's just superficial intelligence gathering.
Originally, she thought that, as the royal family of Wayne, it was impossible to hang out with Sakota all day long, but unexpectedly, Wayne seemed to have a different kind of trust in herself, not only coming to the hotel from time to time Looking for herself, even called herself on the way to Langdon Abbey, and always brought her some weird gifts every time she came.Over time, Mostima's wariness of Wayne is not as serious as it was at the beginning.
What's more, although the relationship with Wayne has become acquainted for no reason, this may not be a bad thing. After all, this way, she doesn't have to rack her brains every month in the status report to the Pope. Children's writing depends entirely on imagination.
Just write down what Wayne did to her this month, gave her something, took her to those places, ate something, drank something, and wrote it all down, the number of words is almost enough.
Mostima didn't think too much about Wayne's visit today, but just asked a business-like question, and immediately began to think about what Wayne brought her this time.
Is it the green octopus-head statue sitting on the golden toilet, or the theological classics excavated from the ruins of Miskatonic in Colombia?
But unexpectedly, Wayne nodded solemnly, with a distressed expression on his face, and asked the bewildered Mostima:
"Little Mo. You know me. My sister has been doing some Anglicanism recently, trying to replace our Lateran Church."
"After thinking about it, this is not good for us in Lateran, so I quietly arranged for people to give money to the major priests of the Anglican Church. But some people actually think that talking about money is vulgar, and they talk about faith with me .”
