51. Worship
In addition to Yvette, there is a place where Hevin can help with his investigation.
A place where Hewen can go in the open.
Firth City Cathedral.
Herwin reappeared at the church door.
Although the construction has not yet been completed, the church will naturally not refuse the visit of believers, and the construction is also to ensure that it does not affect the believers to worship, then to ensure the quality of the construction, and finally to ensure the speed of construction.
But while the expansion continues, the church now looks a lot different, the biggest of which is the pink ore that spreads throughout the walls and ceiling.
It is the alchemy material with magical powers, the Dragon Crystal Diamond.
Adorning the walls with expensive magical ores is not as extravagant as the Holy Church, but it is also a great fortune to attract poor dragons and magicians.
And Alec's choice to decorate it with dragon diamonds is also to inform everyone that even if dragons and wizards come, he is capable of dealing with them.
In other words, he is showing his confidence.
The huge church occupies a huge area, and if you walk on the street next to the church, you will find that several intersections here are missing a direction, which is deliberately changed to avoid the church.
But there are only twenty-four priests in the Faith church, far fewer than the others, and even with a large congregation, it is still significantly empty.
This is because the twenty priests of the Faith Church were all transferred from various countries, and only four were native to England.
In general, bishops appoint and promote many local residents to the church in their dioceses, and gradually become priests.
However, the Kingdom of Ingrans does not believe in the primordial fire goddess Gaphnan at all, and since he has only been in the city of Firth for more than twenty years, there are only four priests who can be qualified to find fault.
Fortunately, he recruited a lot of monks and nuns, which made up for the scarcity of priests from another angle.
A nun saw Herwin and came over.
"Hello, is there anything I can do to help you?"
Although he wanted to start with the church, Hervin didn't plan to find Alec.
After all, he is now a key member of the evil organization that wants to start a war between the Church and the Knights, and it would be foolish to ask the head of the enemy to investigate how to deal with them.
"Hello, is there a priest presiding over the service now?"
The nun smiled apologetically:
"This week's service was co-chaired by Father Patton and Father Gary, but unfortunately only the faithful are allowed to join, and the service is almost starting. ”
The nun politely declined him, after all, she had not seen Herwin come to church before.
Hewen said politely:
"I don't come often, but I'm a devout believer, and you've probably heard my name. ”
The nun blinked and asked:
"Sir, you are. ”
"Wright, well, that's the ......"
The nun replied excitedly:
"I know, I know, is that the same Mr. Wright who built us a new house and improved our food? I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you, because you don't look like the newspapers. ”
The nun looked at Hewen again, and realized that it did bear some resemblance to the photo.
Wright hadn't shaved his beard when he took the photo, and he looked like a middle-aged man in his thirties, and after he shaved his beard, he was a handsome young man in his twenties and fifteens.
Although the nun was a little timid, she couldn't help but be curious:
"Mr. Wright, are you so successful at such a young age?"
Hervin smiled modestly:
"I just look young, and the main thing is that I'm well maintained. ”
The nun's eyes lit up with little stars:
"Mr. Wright, can you tell me how to maintain it?"
Hewen said matter-of-factly:
"Sure, but it's a secret, and you can't just tell anyone else. ”
The nun solemnly patted her huge breasts:
"Don't worry, Mr. Wright, I won't tell anyone else. ”
Hewen mysteriously lowered his voice and said:
"Go to bed early and wake up early, eat three meals a day. ”
As if deceived, the nun said disappointedly:
"Ah, is that all?"
Herwin still teased her with a serious face:
"That's it, but are you sure you did?"
The nun fell into deep thought when she heard this, well, it seems that she slept until noon every day, and did not even eat breakfast, and it was because she was too lazy that she was rushed to the door.
The nun suddenly realized:
"I see, in fact, the truth is hidden in the details that we usually ignore, Mr. Wright is worthy of being a famous believer, you want to take this opportunity to teach me this truth. ”
Speaking of this, the nun couldn't help but bow her head in shame:
"I still sleep until noon every day, and I'm so ashamed of Goddess Gaphnan. ”
"Hmm......" Hewen's eyes widened slightly, he didn't know how he was fooling, and the other party began to reflect on his late wake, "Well, can you take me to worship?"
The nun who was interrupted and blamed herself was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said:
"Uh-huh, well, Mr. Wright, you come with me. ”
With that, Hervin followed the nun to the chapel.
The chapel is spacious and bright, with sunlight streaming in through red, blue and green glass, and several torches with a diameter of one meter hanging high on the walls.
There are about 800 worshippers in the chapel, and the whole hall is very spacious.
This is not all the believers in the city of Firth, even if this is England, there are nearly 10,000 believers.
However, not all believers come to worship, firstly because most believers are not so strong in their faith, and secondly because the original fire has only one church in Firth.
Usually as the archbishop of a large diocese, there will be some diocesan bishops of small parishes, who will be in charge of some sub-parishes, but due to the peculiarities of the city of Firth, there is only one church in the city.
As a result, it is difficult for believers who live far away to reach the church, and although the city of Firth has also learned from Wharton in recent years and began to deploy public buses, it is still dominated by expensive horse-drawn carriages.
At the front of the chapel, two priests are blessing the faithful and preparing to lead the congregation in prayer, and the choir has just finished playing and is returning to their seats.
Father Patton also served as an auxiliary bishop and was second only to Alec in the Church, as well as the Saint Gary who monitored Alec.
Although the two sides know Gary's identity well, they can't say it directly.
So Alec asked his first lieutenant to stay by Gary's side from time to time to restrict his movements, but Gary didn't really care about spying on Alec.
He has now devoted his whole body and soul to the great cause of Tyr.
Gary, who was on the other side of the church, suddenly saw Herwin and looked very bad, as if he was questioning why Herwin was here.
Herwin smiled and waved his hand to say hello.
