Invincible priest, out of the courtroom

"Senior, please wait a moment, I will change clothes."

Nota's voice came from inside.

After a while, the door was opened by her.

Today's Nota is as delicate and pretty as ever, but she no longer wears the simple teaching gown, but has changed into a pink T-shirt with a cartoon whale pattern printed on it, and a brown pleated skirt on her lower body .

The slender and round legs are tightly wrapped by a pair of black knee-high socks. There are some just-right flesh marks on the top of the socks, and there is an absolute white field between the short skirt, which attracts people's daydreams.

To sum up, youthful, beautiful, good-looking, and easy to lick.

Nota caressed the door frame with one hand, stood on one leg alternately, put on a pair of small brown leather shoes on her feet in turn, and showed a sweet smile to Rorschach.

"Senior, let's go."

Although Luo Xia didn't know why she suddenly wanted to change clothes, he never cared about these details, so he took Nota out to do business.

There is one important thing that must be done well today, which is to register with the relevant management agencies.

This is the suggestion given to him by the intermediary yesterday. Although the city of oracles supports freedom of belief in name, there are still necessary management measures. If the sects are not registered, they will be expelled or even suppressed.

Rorschach naturally did as the Romans did.

Soon, he and Nota took the tram to find the religious management institution, and were about to go in, but Nota gently grabbed his sleeve, pointed to a shop with a long queue across the street and said:

"Senior, that dessert shop seems very good, let me buy some for you to try?"

"Okay, then let's act separately for now, and then meet here."

"Okay~"

Luo Xia walked towards the management agency alone, and just before entering the door, he bought three local newspapers from the newsboy, and then glanced at the headlines on the front page:

"Blast!What is the reason for the fifth comeback of the Holy See in the Northland?Take you into the truth that the man will cry and the woman will be silent"

"The Holy See in the Northland is strong and profound, but it can only rank third among the major sects"

"A Few Secrets You Don't Know About the Holy See in the North"

The Undertaker: Chapter 15 15. It's Funny

Luo Xia resisted the urge to help the editors of these newspapers start a new life, and patiently read the specific content below.

Ok……

Although the title is a bit sensational, but the specific content is quite satisfactory?

Just briefly introduced the background of the Holy See of the North, casually mentioned that this is the fifth time they have come to the city of oracle, and then expressed their respect to Orville, the goddess of war, and finally paid tribute to the Holy See of the North. Welcome to visit again, and call on them to compete fairly with other sects for mutual benefit and win-win results.

The three headlines of the three newspapers basically have this format and content, and the highlights are all in the headlines...

What made Rorschach even more amused was that these reporters' information had gone awry. They actually thought that the Holy See of the Northland had sent a large team of more than two hundred people.

"That's fine, anyway, it's not me you're looking for, and I don't believe in Orville."

He muttered something in a low voice, put away the newspaper, and walked into the religious management office of the City of Oracles.

It is arranged like a classical church, slightly old, with a sense of age, as if it has existed for a long time, and it is completely different from other neat, delicate, beautiful buildings on the street similar to the Victorian style on the earth.

And at the entrance, there is also a large relief sculpture, on which is a group of well-dressed monsters dressed like dogs, surrounding a round table, dividing up the ulterior vested interests.

Of course, this is just Rorschach's personal interpretation.

In fact, the title of this relief is called "Peace, Hope, Love, Future", and it describes the scene where the victorious gods sat down to talk after the earth-shattering battle of more than 5000 years.

According to the description attached to the relief, the current world structure was agreed through this meeting. The evil gods were sealed and exiled, the evil religions were wiped out and suppressed, and there would no longer be wars between the righteous gods and the orthodox religions because of differences in beliefs. The world brings precious peace, and a bright future filled with hope and love.

So people's original purpose is actually very positive...

But Rorschach can be sure that the gods will never grow up like this, let alone hold a meeting around a table like humans. This is completely human's own imagination.

The point is, there is no beautiful, gentle and kind-hearted Mrs. Avia from his family.

That's why he sneered at this exquisite, gorgeous, lifelike, and artistic relief. Naturally, he was not in the mood to stop and admire it, so he went in to go through the registration procedures.

The process of going through the formalities was quite smooth, just fill out a few forms and pay the registration fee of two silver coins.

"Well, there is no problem in this way, welcome to the city of oracle."

The handling staff collected the form, handed Rorschach a pamphlet, and gave a routine introduction:

"Here are the corresponding rules and regulations, please be sure to abide by them, otherwise you will be punished with a fine or even deportation... Well, that's about it, I wish you good luck, Orville Sect."

Rorschach took the booklet first, and then corrected him:

"It's not the Orville sect, it's the Avia sect."

The sect name he filled in on the registration form was not the Holy See of the Northlands, but this self-created Avia sect.

According to the pronunciation and writing of this universal language, the words 'Orville' and 'Avia' have the same spelling and similar pronunciation, and most people would mispronounce them if they didn't mark the scales at the back.

But when writing formally, most people will not mark the scale, which will appear lacking in beauty.

So 'Orville' and 'Avia' are a bit like the rare polyphonic names on Earth. Surnames like 'Dan' and 'Chong' are often mispronounced, so naturally Rorschach would not Mind this little thing.

"Ah? Are you actually reading Avia? It's a very strange god..."

The staff member hastily corrected his pronunciation, and kindly reminded:

"I feel that your sect is a niche and unpopular type? After all, there are only two clergymen... Then I suggest that you better manage it carefully. In the City of Oracles, religious competition is very fierce."

"Currently, there are 1024 formal sects that have registered in the city and have their own churches. This is not counted as underground sects that operate privately. The sect has already exceeded 20, and there are only so few left in the end."

"Even the well-known big sects like the Holy See of the North have not gained a firm foothold here, so... please work harder."

After listening to these explanations and reminders, Luo Xia was still speechless for a while, although he knew about it in his heart.

Because of the tacit understanding and agreement between the righteous gods, the religious atmosphere of the whole world is extremely free, and the transitional freedom will inevitably bring disorder and chaos.

Not only can human beings freely choose to believe in a certain god, but they can even believe in a certain character, a certain idea, and a certain ability of the god.

Take Orville, the Goddess of War, as an example. She publicizes to the outside world that she is in charge of the four fields of war, trial, commandment, and asylum. Therefore, "Oville of War", "Oville of Judgment", and "Oville of Asylum" can be derived. And many other denominations.

Another example is another popular deity, Pal, who is known for his erratic, unpredictable, and unpredictable temperament, so there are "Wisdom Pal Sect", "Benevolent Pal Sect" and "Cruel Pal Sect"

There are not so many gods in the sky, but the human beings below can make all kinds of tricks, big and small.

However, Rorschach said confidently in the end:

"Although the competition is fierce, I believe that the goddess will protect me. This is also a test and testimony of my faith."

After that, he got up and prepared to leave.

But the staff member stopped him, took out another box from the drawer, opened it, raised a magnifying glass inside, looked up and down at Rorschach, and then explained:

"Don't worry, this is an advanced instrument for detecting fluctuations in spiritual power. I have to confirm whether you are the kind of extraordinary priest who masters divine arts. If so, you have to register with the Extraordinary Affairs Administration ..."

"They are busy there, not as free as I am. If you want to go, you have to make an appointment in advance..."

"Hmm... There are no fluctuations and reactions. It seems that you are just an ordinary priest who has not mastered divine arts, so there is no need to make this trip."

The staff put down the magnifying glass, nodded to Rorschach, and signaled that he could leave.

Rorschach responded with a polite smile, turned and left without saying a word.

It seems that this so-called instrument can only detect the spiritual power of an extraordinary person, but cannot detect the holy power of one's own belief.

It's just... funny?

The Undertaker: Chapter 16 16. Do as the Romans do

When Rorschach walked out of the religious management office, he immediately saw Nota sitting on a bench by the street.

She held something that looked like an ice cream cone in each of her hands. It looked so sweet that she kept her eyes fixed on it, wanting to taste it impatiently.

But he didn't move his mouth, but resisted the temptation of delicious food, waiting to share it with Luo Xia.

She is really a well-behaved and sensible girl.

Luo Xia quickly walked over and sat down beside her.

"Senior, are you back? Is everything going well?"

Nota's eyes lit up slightly, and he quickly handed over Rorschach's share, and then said:

"This is the special burrito here, it smells so good, senior, please try it."

Rorschach nodded, took it, and took a bite.

uh...so sweet...

But the taste is not bad. The outside is a layer of crispy egg roll with a slightly salty taste, and the inside is wrapped with rich cream and various vegetables. The fragrance of vegetables perfectly combines the sweetness of cream, and the sweetness just makes up for the lack of vegetables. Light, under the contrast of each other to create a very layered sweet taste.

Nota held the burrito with both hands, took small bites, and ate it carefully, like a cute little animal, squinting his eyes slightly after eating, with a smile of happiness and enjoyment on his face.

The slender legs in black knee socks stretched out freely, and they were generously displayed in front of Luo Xia. The delicate black silk texture reflected the attractive luster under the sunlight, and faintly revealed the flesh color inside. A burrito is also sweet and delicious.

Luo Xia patiently waited for her to finish eating slowly, then stood up and said:

"Let's go and see more of this city."

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

For the next week, Rorschach and Nota followed the tram and took a brief tour of the lower and upper towns of the City of Oracles.

Uptown has clean streets, well-ordered and well-proportioned houses, large parks and greenery, a developed business environment and a relaxed atmosphere, all of which reflect the prosperity and comfort of the city.

Although the downtown area is generally clean and not messy, even the houses and infrastructure need to be updated, but the streets are full of densely packed new-style apartment buildings, and the roads are also full of busy pedestrians, everyone looks in a hurry , trotting and walking, interpreting the hustle and bustle of the city.

The trams in the outer city outside the city wall cannot go, and the innermost central area is not allowed to enter without a pass, so it can only be released for the time being.

But just these two parts can give Rorschach a strong sense of division. It is not a difference in class, but in terms of rhythm and atmosphere. The upper city is enjoying life at a slow pace, while the lower city is enjoying life at a slow pace. In the fast-paced enjoyment of blessings, a circle of city walls seems to separate the two worlds.

"It's really a strange and magical city."

Rorschach made a final comment.

On the eighth day after he arrived in the City of Oracles, the previous intermediary came to inform him that the church had been renovated and was ready for use.

Luo Xia then took Nota to his new home in the future.

The style of the church he chose is not the square and regular Gothic style, nor is it the tall and majestic atmosphere, but the pastoral and casual style, which looks like a church from the outside. The exquisite small manor can give people a warm and relaxed feeling.

This is completely different from the usual temperament of the Holy See of the Northland. As a sect that believes in the Goddess of War, the Holy See of the Northland must be so gorgeous and majestic. There are two completely different styles of painting here, and it is difficult to distinguish between the two. connected together.

The interior decoration of the church almost continues this style. The windows are colorful enamel, landscape oil paintings are hung on the walls, and the surrounding candlesticks and other decorations are also relaxed and warm, giving people a feeling of entering a family living room.

Luo Xia was very satisfied with this, and readily settled the final payment with the intermediary.

Nota asked with a puzzled expression on his face, very puzzled:

"Senior, although this place is very good and makes me feel very relaxed, it always feels... different from the Holy See?"

Luo Xia had expected that she would have questions in this regard, so he replied confidently:

"Of course it's different. Those churches in the Northland are all gray and white inside, with knives, guns and axes hanging on the walls. As soon as people enter the door, they feel the pressure doubled, and they dare not come out."

"But...wouldn't that be a little bad?"

Rorschach shook his head slightly, sat down on a bench next to him, and asked:

"Knight Nota, what do you think is the main reason for the failure of the previous four missions?"

"Eh? I'm just a trainee knight, senior actually asked me such a complicated question? I just heard from others, it seems that the city of oracle doesn't welcome us? Whether it's other sects or ordinary people, they are crowding out intentionally or unintentionally. us?"

Nota tried to answer, and then saw Rorschach smile slightly.

"Hmm...Actually, I don't know the reason for the failure, but I feel that what you said should make sense."

"Eh? Senior, why are you like this?"

"Don't worry, just listen to me... Although I don't know the details of the previous four times, the goddess has actually taught us to learn to adapt to the environment and do as the Romans do... Well, in Chapter [-] It was said in the second section."

Nota quickly took out his small textbook, but it turned out to be the corresponding page.

But the above clearly tells the story of the goddess successfully defeating an evil god and protecting the people of the North...

And the group of people guarded by her are also the first group of believers of the sect.

"Look, this is where you don't understand the teachings well. How powerful is that evil god? The goddess is not his opponent, so she lured him to an unfavorable battlefield. With the prayers of the locals, he successfully defeated other side……"

"At that time, those people were not believers, and the belief in the goddess came after being rescued by the goddess. If the goddess hadn't taken advantage of these advantages, I'm afraid winning won't be so easy..."

"Do you think this is teaching us to adapt to the environment and do as the Romans do?"
