Chapter 164 The Dilemma of the Exile

The blue star, in the capital's Ares Cathedral, the portal has been opened, and now the five people are saying goodbye to the children. Monina and Eva murmured for a while, but finally seemed to be leaving some farewell gifts, so she reached out and drew a small pendant in her arms for a long time, "Yeah, here for you I'll leave this as a commemoration, next time I'll say when it's uncertain. "

Eva suddenly appeared surprised, and carefully took the seemingly ordinary pendant, holding it on her chest as if holding a rare treasure: "Master Goddess, thank you for your gift, I will definitely treasure it ... "

Ray's excited beard shuddered: "Oh, today is a glorious day, and the church has another epic relic!"

Undoubtedly, although the pendant was taken out by Monina, Cree had made up his mind to offer the thing as a church relic, and sooner or later, the pendant tied with cotton thread would be blue one by one. The followers of the star are respectfully placed in the sanctuary hall to accept the worship of all peoples, and the four characters "Five Glass Factory" on the base of the pendant will shine brightly under the blue star sunlight.

It ’s been a long time to mix with the Protoss quintessence. This kind of thing is not strange to me. Religion is such a strange thing. On the time axis, it has an unreasonable magnifying effect. The ridiculous beginning, after the enlargement of time and faith, it will become strange and weird, just like a bunch of torn copper and iron smashed from Europe in the past few days when the crow ate a bad stomach, now it has become a town of the raven gods. Teach holy things. It is said that only cattle talents at the level of the knight captain of the church are qualified to use them when destroying demons, but in fact? Before the little crow rubbed his mouth shell with those broken copper and iron, those few swords were sold on the market by the pound.

Monina's move to leave a souvenir for Eva immediately reminded Ilson of them. A few gods who didn't have a lot of music started to pour on their bodies. They seemed to want to leave something. Ilson said as he drew it. "You guys will have a good time. I have something good here--otherwise, Monina is smart, she thinks about it, so I have to leave something for a trip. By the way, I found it!"

In the end, Ilson pulled out a keychain, and Lynn took off the bracelet on her wrist. Uncle Kensel found a blank notebook in his arms (probably for keeping accounts when he was going to keep shopping?) The three immortals stuffed these things into Eva: they knew that no matter to whom these gifts were given, they would surely be regarded as holy relics of the church, so it was better for them to keep them directly.

According to my observation, the original source of these holy relics to be worshiped by the people should be the Yiwu Small Commodities Wholesale Market. In other words, the Yiwu Small Commodity Wholesale Market has already set foot on the long march of mankind to conquer the alien world. A solid first step ...

Several religious leaders in the field rushed to accept these "god-given items", one by one smiling as if they were a holiday, I really want to tell them that these things can be sold in containers in a place called Yiwu, but want to After thinking about it, I still didn't say: The people of Blue Star are not stupid people. They can tell at a glance what these gifts are essentially, but this can't stop them from worshiping a bunch of glass beads and small books as holy things. This is religion, the religion of Chiguo. They worship not the material, but the idols behind the material. I remembered again that Ilson ’s argument that "artifacts are artifacts because they are used by God" and that it is indeed an irrefutable truth. Speak with the facts: Did Langinus say that it was a wooden stick with an iron tip if it was white?

In the end all eyes were on my shoulder, and there was a guy who was one of the Five Stars of the Blue Star: Ding Dong. This little thing blinked curiously and looked at everything in front of her, and her little foot fluttered in the air until all four of her teammates cast their eyes over her, and then she pointedly pointed at her nose: Yeah, Ding Dong also needs to prepare gifts? "

Bingtis hummed beside him: "Nonsense, it's so easy to come here and leave nothing for the children before leaving? How can you be a god?"

"Oh." Ding-Dang nodded, and then she looked like she was very tangled and painful. She seemed to have made up her mind to pull it out of the space. After a while, everyone took out a lollipop: This is the best thing for her.

"唔 ——" Ding-Dang held the lollipop to continue tangling, continued pain, hesitated, and finally quickly retracted his hand, peeled off the sugar paper, opened his mouth to bite a big piece, and passed the missing lollipop. To Eva, "Here, this is Ding Dong's best thing ..."

Ray was dumbfounded for the first time, and stayed for a long time: "Goddess ... this ... this is not easy to put ..."

God's gift is to be stored in the Holy Land as a sacred object. How to put a lollipop? It's time to pass the first summer. I explained to Ding Dong, the small things suddenly smiled, and in front of everyone, they "creaked" and bit off the sugar balls, passed the remaining sugar sticks to Eva, and said vaguely in his mouth: "欸 (to) ! "

Everyone: "..."

Following Ilson's tickling, the church's relics collection has been refreshed again!

In the end, Joe and Ray and Eva were all waved away by Ilson. In the church, except for a group of us, there was only one old man who was too old to look. He was Pope, Mu, and Ilson. The spokesperson for this world. Unlike Lilina, who is a complete upstart and a golden newcomer, this is an old man who has worked for his **** for two hundred years. Obviously, Ilson values ​​this old man, so he is allowed to stay at the end and be responsible. After a while, the portal was closed and the altar was cleaned.

Before the statue of war, Ilson patted the shoulders of Mr. Mu, who is more than two hundred years old. Although the latter is no longer old in appearance, he can be a grandfather of Mr. Ilson, but in essence, Ilson is really explaining to a child: "That seat will go back first, and there are many ravaged worlds waiting for me to save ..."

We stood beside us and had to endure the great conscience.

"Lord, will you return to this world?" Mu, a two-hundred-year-old uncle who can run all the way from the Fourth Ring Road to the city center, but with his head lowered and his neck narrowed, as if an expectant and afraid of disappointment child. He is the most respected pope of the Blue Star, but in front of the God of War, he is still the wild boy who struck the throne of God two hundred years ago in the front of the temple. The God of War is eternal, even for a long time After that, the God of War was still the heroic war god, but the wild boy who was forgiven by the **** himself was dying, and met twice. The years turned everything upside down. I couldn't help but have such strange feelings, so even though Ilson's unreliable image was deeply rooted in myself, I still insisted on not saying 123: at the same time, I continued to endure great conscience.

"Maybe I will come back, but I am afraid that after many years, God will not overly interfere with the world, especially in such a world," Ilson said lightly, implying that the life of a mortal is Mu, I am afraid it is to wait Before that day, the old man bowed his head in disappointment, but Ilson seemed to hesitate again and decided to tell the old man something, "Remember what the dogma said?

——Be educated, practice with your body, and temper your soul, you can sublimate this body and transcend the ordinary. Mu, for two hundred years, you have been doing well. In the following years, you still have to complete the work for the last period of time, do your own job, come to my country after the mission is completed, there will be Have your place. As soon as the words fell, I heard jīng God connected to the public channel followed by Ilson's tweet: "Well, I ca n’t help telling the kid in advance, I wanted to give him a surprise after he died. Yes! "

Me: "..." May I trouble you not to call such a sacred thing as being called to the kingdom of God as common as raising the secondary salary?

I do n’t know if it ’s too old or what the owner said is too unexpected. Mu Leng waited for five or six seconds to reverse the taste, and then she was really excited and sifted. Ilson still regretted himself there. Why is your mouth so loose? When you see this, you wave your hand decisively to interrupt what Master Mu is going to say next, and look directly at the other person ’s eyes: "Remember the Bible ’s words, you will usher in more than just sublimation. Burdens and responsibilities, and you will not only be responsible for one race, you will be responsible for more worlds and countless lives. You have n’t even touched the starting point, you know, go back and work hard. "

"Yes, yes." Mu Lian nodded, and Ilson smiled aside. This scene reminds me of how I decided to study hard after listening to my sister's words on the first day of elementary school. However, the old man in front of me is more disciplined than I was ...

After leaving the Azure Star, everyone else went straight home, but Sandora and I had to switch to another place.

The universe in which the Fourth Fleet is located, the capital Star Kailudak. Sandora and I came to this planet again with several administrative experts and headquarters officers who came from Shadow City.

I really did n’t expect that when I set out from Kailudak, I thought it was just a quick and convenient void trip, like going out for a soy sauce. The council was waiting with anticipation for us to come back and welcome our old friends. Sandora and I went for so many days, and there were so many twists and turns: Maybe I was really a halo man, and the trouble that plagued me might not be a passive skill.

This time when I came to Kailudak, there was a very obvious difference from the last time. The most significant one was "friendly". The last time we came here, we were almost secretly met by the parliament. The ordinary people of Kailudak did not even know that the Empire had come to their planet at the beginning, and among the senior officials of the Fourth Fleet, they held us. There are many people in jǐng. This time, Sandora and I were formally welcomed: the full acceptance of the parliament and the senior ruling regiment of the Fourth Fleet is one thing, and more importantly, they no longer worry about the imperial side appearing on their capital star. The public turmoil that can be triggered-at least the good development in the big environment is obvious to all.

The royal shuttle that Sandora and I escorted directly to the parliament building under the **** of several small frigates. Due to the special xìng of the Toberu-style building, the temporary parking lot in front of the parliament building was parallel to the waist of the building's sphere. The semi-lunar platform is suspended in the air by anti-gravity technology. On both sides of the parking lot are the Fourth Fleet officials and some people who seem to be representatives of the people: they are not wearing any kind of uniform, and I can only guess that they are representatives of some private organizations. On the periphery of the anti-gravity platform, there are projected subtitles that welcome me and Sandora. These subtitles greet in all directions and can be seen at the top of any tower building around the parliament building. Compared with events in other worlds where I was dragged in, this kind of on-site discussion can be said to be very inconspicuous, but as long as it is thought that it was a kind response of those exiles to us in the past, even this low-key The welcome was also inevitable.

"It's not easy," as the shuttle slowly approached the platform, I couldn't help but look at Sandora. "The welcome banner that can be typed publicly in this line gives me a feeling more than ten years of fighting against the fallen apostles. It's hard to win. "

"And we still have a long way to go," Sandora smiled slightly, her mood was good, but she was not too optimistic because of the situation in front of her. "You see, there is a martial law zone on the periphery, there are sentries at the top of the building in the distance, and The size and composition of the welcoming scene were obviously selected by jīng's heart. It can only be said that the fourth fleet official can now openly contact the empire. This is the initial stage of normalization of diplomacy, but it is far from reaching the level of their society as a whole. The situation has been relieved. When the Fifth Fleet completes urgent repairs, the situation should further improve after coming to this universe. Coco Keina should work hard to ease the relationship between the exiles and the empire. "

I also understand what Sandora said, just a series of things, whether it involves the fallen apostles or the bottom of the abyss, these things have given myself a lot of psychological pressure. A certain sense of urgency is more and more in these children. The more and more intense, it always makes me feel that time is not enough. I wish that everything was in one step. But everything that I faced takes time. A lot of time. What can be done in one step is not. existing.

I looked into the distance, and outside of the martial law zone, there were a lot of shaking shadows on the tops of the towering towers. They should be civilians of the Fourth Fleet, although most of them had never been a year ago. I have seen the Empire battleship, but was born and raised in the shadow of the "Imperial Slayer". They looked curiously across the martial law zone and looked at the look of the Empire battleship that had brought yīn shadows to countless generations.

Just then, Sandora squeezed my hand slightly to signal that the shuttle had stopped.

On the mooring platform, a translucent female figure was escorted by several senior officials. It was the supreme ruler of the Fourth Fleet, the Nader Council. Her peculiar etiquette, unique to the Naders, welcomed me and Sandora and the emperors behind us: "I think the parliament can now call you friends from a personal point of view."

"This is really hard to come by," I laughed, told the truth in my heart, and went straight to the topic. "The Fifth Fleet is undergoing refurbishment in another military world. Their spaceship is not very good, but fortunately I have successfully completed the mission. There are a lot of spaceships, and all the crew arrived safely. "

The parliament nodded slightly: "We have communicated with the Captain of Cocokina and learned about his situation there. It is the best thing we have ever encountered in these tens of thousands of years to know that the old friend is all right."

Sandora and I came over. First of all, when the two of us encountered an accident, many previously planned things were put on hold, and the preparations for the reception of the Fifth Fleet and the arrangements for the Fourth Fleet were suspended. Now we are back, when rì wants to prepare these things with the parliament as soon as possible; secondly, we want to see how effective the “public opinion building” that rì was under the proposal of our sister.

Well, we can be sure that public opinion is indeed very effective. Since we set out to save the Fifth Fleet with high-profile propaganda at that time, the biggest gain now is that the empire and the exiles have initially established normal official exchanges. And then the Fifth Fleet will be placed in this world. We may also be able to take advantage of this opportunity to send people in the name of assistance to help them build colonial facilities and giant star ports, although Sandora and I are not directly in this universe. The intention of staying in the garrison remains, but after "building aid", in fact, a self-evident support relationship has formed between the exiles and the empire.

What's more important is ~ www.readwn.com ~ The new citizens of the Fourth Fleet will also get used to the life of the Imperial soldiers around them in this process. To reverse the exile's impression of the new empire, this habitual process is more important than anything else. .

We talked a lot with the management of the Fourth Fleet in the reception hall of the parliament building. Of course, most of the time, Sandora and the experts from all sides are negotiating with each other. I basically belong to the background. , Between "What are you talking about?" And "What are you talking about again?" The two states jump back and forth. Only when it comes to the status quo of the Fifth Fleet, can I plug in myself: I still know a bit about this. After all, the entire fleet was taken all the way in their "belly" at that time, and I almost scanned each of their ships with my jīng divine power.

According to a more detailed report from Coco Kina, the Fifth Fleet is in extremely bad condition, and almost no spacecraft is intact. Even after emergency repairs in the Civilized Community, it can barely maintain its operation. Now, the Fourth Fleet hasn't dealt with the matter at hand, so the burden of the Fifth Fleet has to be handed over to the Empire-so the Parliament made a difficult decision:

She hopes to get a batch of colony stars that can be used in a short time.

In the middle of my arms with Sandora. (To be continued.
