Xiling Empire

It's not too early, when the temple of war is also closed, so Sandora and I are going to leave the temple (also called the church) under the leadership of Father Lei. Before we leave, we say goodbye to Eva: the latter will not When she left, she lived in the church. It was not because the servant of the God of War must strictly observe the rules and regulations, because of her holy status, she could not leave the temple, and other nonsense reasons, but because the rent in the capital was too expensive, and Eva had been in the temple district since she was a child. Big, so she just lived in the church ...

As for the grandfather Lei Lei, second to the pope, he was a dormitory: both grandpas and grandsons were foreigners.

These are the reasons why Blue Star, two of the most distinguished religious spiritual leaders, chose to live in the church area all the year round.

I always feel that the above situation should not appear in such holy paragraphs, and it should not appear in any of the above words such as "god, virgin, priest, church, etc." Serious background, it sounds to me like it happened in a staff dormitory building in a small clothing factory in the suburban area of ​​thirty miles away?

I am also a little curious why religious leaders like Lei and Eva, who can be said to be more than 10,000 people alone, chose to live in the dormitory of the church area because of the nonsense reason that "the rent in the capital is too expensive" and left the church. After that, I couldn't help but asked with curiosity, but I didn't expect that Mr. Lei just said something for granted: "Because we have no money."

Seeing that both Sandora and I showed a very surprised look, this old man who was always a little serious still repeated it seriously: "Just because there is no money, most of God's servants will choose to live in the church district. It is because The church district provides free houses and daily necessities for missionaries. This is also the only benefit we can seek for ourselves in the name of God. In addition, any material beyond the necessity of survival must be solved by ourselves. Is it possible? This is incredible? "

"Well, it's like that in some way," I shrugged, smiling. "When I saw your temple of war, I felt that the church should be the richest group in the world. I didn't expect it to be the same."

"The church certainly has wealth," Lei Tan opened his hands, as if holding up the entire world. "Because we manage this planet for God. As stewards of the gods, we hold the key of the master ’s treasure house, and the church as a whole. It is based on all the wealth that the gods have given to mankind, so the temples and idols should be brilliant, This is the kind of gratitude that mortals must give back to God: in order to thank him for giving us this world. But the missionary must isolate himself from these wealth, and we must soberly realize that we have no right to enjoy it for management only. Material wealth, we have been extremely rich in spirit and soul: because we are standing closest to God. Moreover, compared with those who need to work hard day and night to survive, we only need to pray and preach to live without food Worry, this is already very lucky. "

When Ray said these words, he took it for granted. There is no pretense, and no exaggeration to show how devout I am, but that's it, I am even more shocked by the spiritual power that faith can bring: it can completely sublimate a person-as long as this Faith is sincere enough, it can even free a mortal from the shackles of the physical world. Maybe on the blue star. There are not many people who have such a religious belief as Ray, among ordinary believers. Perhaps most mortal believers will never be able to escape the temptations of the world. The world, how did the "promoter" live with the real gods.

Perhaps the old man in front of me, when called by the Lord, will be like the servants of the celestial gods who were promoted by mortal believers. Become a slave **** beside Ilson, with his faithful follower ...

… I'm sorry I just ca n’t think of the 123 product anymore. The sighs accumulated with more than a hundred words in the front collapsed instantly. Master Ray, do you really want to be called by that pit father? ?

You are stronger than the summoning of 123! At least there are more cute girls under the goddess of life! 123 That servant servant is said to have a waistline of three men and three men. Grandpa, you can bear it ... Sorry, it seems that Ilson does have a remote pit father halo. Although he is so far away, he just popped his name in his mind, and my thinking instantly Pit ...

I ca n’t help but think of the protoss sliver quintessentials who spend time eating and drinking at home by the way, which helped me spend money. I did n’t think about it before, but now I suddenly see an old man with an almost brilliant image For a moment, I realized how delicious the lazy gods in the family are, laziness, mischief, ridiculousness, and unreasonableness. Seeing that a mortal believer is richer than the model spirit of God in the new age, as a chartered public Distressed, how can you say that 123 is not as good as an old man under his control? Compared with those five, the only distance between the grandfather in front of him and the standing Buddha is that the back of his head can not shine ...

"Ajun, I really think you sigh too much," Sandora suddenly choked my arm. "And honestly, when the five of them got into trouble, which time did you stop by more than them?"

I:"……"

By the way, I still bear the name of the father, but I don't seem to be doing anything that the father should do: except with children.

This is already inside the church area, the most sacred place of the entire Blue Star. Walking with Sandora on the quiet street here, I feel that those "curious little eyes" in the distance are much less, even if there are still, they can only Looking away. Perhaps the Blue Star authorities and the group of scientists (including Father Joe, who has never seen it once in church) are still discussing the matter of visitors from outside the sky, but for Sandor and I now, they are both There is no need to pay attention to the details. After knowing that the world turned out to be a 123 territory, the value of the local indigenous actions for Sandorla and me fell by several percentage points. Because knowing that they will no longer make a big splash if they toss.

Just go back and think about it, what kind of far-reaching impact the sudden joining of the Fifth Fleet will have on this world: maybe it will change their entire civilization process. But then again ... Well, anyway, 123 that bitter master has a headache, I think so much, right?

"I don't care where I sleep today, I just want to know when I can have dinner ..."

When I was a little bit stunned, Sandora suddenly pinched my arm again. He grumbled aloud, "Ajun, I said I was hungry half a century ago ..."

I'm sweating: How far did this go just after coming out of the church. That's how Sandola did. It really deserves to be eaten. So I quickly hurried to greet Father Lei: "So what, don't waste your time. It looks like my girlfriend is really hungry-have you prepared a meal rut?"

Mr. Lei froze, probably still not used to such a distinctive way of speaking to foreign visitors, and then he saw Sandora grinding his teeth and nodded hurriedly: "Oh, oh, of course, there is someone to arrange, but please understand, expensive After all, Fang is a little ... special. Our expert team seems to have a headache. What food should I entertain you with? Joe thinks that alien creatures should have a completely different way of digestion than the blue star humans. Perhaps the food on our planet may not be yours. Appetite, but because I did n’t have the opportunity to ask this detailed question ... Anyway, now the expert team is collecting food samples that can be found all over the world, maybe ... "

"You don't have to worry about it at all," I proudly patted Sandola's little waist. "My girlfriend eats everything. I bring my master—I mean you guys, the expert team is not careful. If you can't figure out, just ask me directly? "

Mr. Lei glanced at me: "Please forgive me. Until 5 pm, none of the experts in the group thought of the first problem to be solved after contact with aliens. What should we do? This subject is still in the college. A chef thought ... "Speaking of which. Lei embarrassedly spread out his hand: "There is a specialty in surgery, and normal scientists are busy studying how your spacecraft can jump out of the galaxy in an instant."

As soon as I heard it, this is indeed the reason. There are a lot of aliens in Hollywood blockbusters. But have you seen several governments when you first contacted aliens, how many dishes could you cook tonight?

I glanced at the expectant Sandora beside me, and I said that I am afraid that the group of experts and scholars of the Blue Star should consider more than just cooking a few dishes ...

After hearing the initiative of Sandora and me, of course, Mr. Lei did not delay at all, and immediately took out an oval-shaped thing to put on his ear-this thing may be a phone-and began to instruct the relevant personnel to prepare for hospitality The meal of the alien guests, I kept reminding: "Be more prepared, be more prepared, you can let them come by the standard of the state banquet ..."

Sandora, who listened, twisted my arms in the back, embarrassingly, but this is also the case. I guess that my performance now rises to a political angle, basically it is a disgrace to the people of the Empire-but is there any way to shave my face It's okay to get out, anyway, I can't make Sandola hungry.

So Mr. Lei subtly asked the staff to take out all the prepared things, and then led us to the large cafeteria set up inside the church area.

Well, be elegant. This is called "Holy Communion Chapel".

"This is the place where the sacrament is held on the rest day blessed by God of War." After leading us to this dome, Father Lei proudly pointed at the round restaurant, where rich meals have been prepared— —Although I don't know any of the things on the table except the plate—and there are a few familiar faces in attendance. And many lower priests in monk robes continued to bring various colorful food in strange tableware to the table. Father Joe, who had not been seen before when he was out of the church, stood by the table and warmly addressed me. And Sandola beckoned: "Oh, I have been waiting for you for a long time, you must try what I have prepared by myself. I have spent years researching and confirming the perfect universal universal scrambled eggs ..."

"If he hadn't done well in researching anti-gravity equalizers, he would have been the first senior clergyman fired by the General Administration of Space Exploration." Ray whispered in my ear.

I finally knew how the strange old man who could use alien dandruff as a subject to study for more than half a year stayed in the scientific research team.

At this time, Sandora had expressed a complete indifference to Father Lei's words, and the world scale in her eyes was rapidly shrinking. In the end, it was limited to the size of the dining table, and then the world expanded rapidly, gradually covering the entire canteen ... the sacrament chapel. This is a process of switching worldviews. Sandora successfully applied her view of the world to everything in front of her eyes in half a minute: edible.

I suddenly felt that I should first go up and put a few inedible signs on the serious receptionist to prevent hungry and stunned Sandora from creating a mess in the world ...

But even in the case of an appetite unprecedentedly strong, Sandola maintained a graceful manner, sitting in a polite manner. Only use her eyes to indicate that others can sit down: Generally, she is still not like this. When eating with strangers, she is usually very approachable, but the "stiff spirit" of the receptionists of these experts and scholars obviously makes her queen slightly dissatisfied. So she chose an attitude commensurate with each other. After taking the seat, people at the scene, whether or not wearing a robe, put their hands on their chests and began to bow their eyes and pray. Lei and Joe were sitting closer, and their prayers passed into my ears: "... thank my lord for giving me peace and enjoying God's rich food ..."

I silently glanced at the two grandfathers, saying that your Lord should be sitting at someone ’s table while eating someone ’s meal, watching someone ’s TV teasing someone ’s baby, and also with someone ’s family. Play with your pets ... Oh, pets may not be completely considered by others, but the first three are proper. But you are praying at this time, thank your Lord for giving you food: according to this logic, 123 should thank the charterer for giving him so much ...

"Okay, we're done praying. Now let's enjoy the sacrament with our guests ...?"

The first time Father Lei opened his eyes after he prayed, he habitually said the first half of the sentence, and then looked at the empty table stupidly stupidly: from a sociological point of view, he probably didn't understand "the sacrament is praying" "It's missing". And Sandora pursed her lips, commenting, "Praying too slowly."

I looked at my girlfriend in horror: this girl is not eating at home so fast! This is her true strength now. Her Majesty the Queen always controls herself?

"Holy ... Holy Communion is gone!" A middle-aged woman who looked like a high priest blinked and suddenly cried with her hands folded, "God! The Lord must have come and share the holy communion with us!"

No, the owner of your family does n’t have such a large meal, and you do n’t think that the first thing to do after God ’s advent is to steal the meal from the believers and say that it ’s a shame? Although doing this with 123 knots is quite in line with the setting.

Finally, Ray found the movement in Sandor's mouth. Looking at this with a look of surprise, I patted Sandola's hair with a smile: "She has a large meal-please prepare another table for you. Well, it is better to prepare another table by the way if possible."

On that day, Sandola was very happy. According to her standards, the food on the Blue Star seemed to fit her appetite. Because the meals were well prepared (the staff collected almost all kinds of things that could be eaten or suspected to be eaten or legendary to make the meal on the entire planet), the table and tableware of the Holy Communion Chapel were spared, but because I'm not very accustomed to local food, so this meal is decisively eaten by Master Kong: I knew that Anwena should make a bunch of boxed lunches before leaving. Others in the audience, including Ray and Joe, were impressed by the sacrament: This was the only meal in their memory where they could eat the food that could kill the three heads of elephants, but retired hungry.

Because Sandora was so spectacular to eat, everyone looked dumbfounded, and when Ray reacted, the kitchen side was anxious to use the broom to cook soup.

Sandora apologized to the appropriate degree, and regretted that ordinary people could not digest forks and glasses, otherwise the other people present would not have to be hungry.

I have to say that although the group of alien enthusiasts and a little nervous leaders sometimes make people laugh and cry, they are at least better than many guys who go on a conspiracy line without saying a word after seeing aliens (the kind It ’s true and quite common) It ’s much better, probably because 123 has been using faith to guide its followers to establish the correct view of three years, so although the blue star is just a new person who can just move freely in his own galaxy "Preliminary civilization", but many of their views are very forward-looking to me: they can correctly recognize the potential dangers of rushing to contact foreign language names ~ www.readwn.com ~ The fact that the universe to be faced after the planet may not be so kind, but under this premise, they still actively take the first step, and quickly calm down after the emergence of the Fifth Fleet, taking a lot of childish, but It really helps to avoid the "first conflict" situation. After Sandora and I finally had enough to eat and drink and settled in the church-supplied room, the latter began to analyze the "value" of these indigenous civilizations on the Azure Star in terms of occupational diseases, and finally concluded that although 123 is a pit, but the unexpected blue star is not too pit.

I sometimes feel that Sandora is really a bit of an occupational disease: even when traveling abroad, when she occasionally encounters an indigenous civilization, she will definitely concentrate on analyzing people for a long time, and to the end, she will also calculate the normal development and acceleration of the local indigenous civilization. How many years will it take for development to have the value of being an vassal of the empire? Study how long the indigenous people can support after the abyss invades the local world. Calculate what benefits the empire can bring to the ruling target civilization ... These sound a little cold-blooded Calculation is what Sandola likes to do most. Although she is not malicious, this habit really makes me knock on Her Majesty's head-you say it's hard to be alone, honeymoon (simple language), and more importantly, that little trouble Not yet nearby, what's wrong with this long night, you can use a data terminal to calculate the life expectancy of the civilization ...
