Volume 2 The Stars Chapter 21 A Pleasant Dream
"What's going on?" Caesar and Dan clearly didn't quite know what was going on. Jun put his hands on his lower abdomen and gently rubbed each other, only saying that he didn't know.
When Muen woke up in the evening, Jun Zhu gathered the three children together and asked them if they wanted to stay and watch the rest of the game. Caesar said he wasn't interested, and both Dan and Muen said it didn't matter.
So Jun Zhu decided to take the three children to visit the imperial capital in the next few days, take them to open their eyes, and then return to the academy.
Dan seemed pleased, for although he was barely a nobleman, he had never been to a big city, and he was barely a squire. Even Mu En showed interest, although he came to the imperial capital at the age of six, he didn't actually visit this bustling city much, only in the first year of coming, he was led by his senior brother to the central long street to participate in the Poseidon Festival rally.
It's just that Caesar still seems to be in high spirits, and when he goes to the night market, he also puts on a big hood to cover up his description, which looks mysterious and dangerous, and is ridiculed by Mr. Junzhu that he is still imitating the style of a human mage in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
As we all know, although human beings practice magic quickly, there are very few people who have this kind of qualification, and because of the strength of their bodies, there are few Holy Magisters who have five sets of circuits.
Of course, the criterion for judging whether a saint is a saint or not is not how many circuits he has, but whether he can perceive the true meaning that belongs to himself.
This is also the reason why there are beings in human beings who are suddenly sanctified because of enlightenment. No matter what race it is, at the moment of sanctification, there will be two sets of circuits that will be instantly generated at will, one is a normal elemental circuit, and the other is its own power circuit, of course, this special circuit will not be counted when calculating the number of circuits.
The innate physical strength of each race is different, so there is also a limit to the number of circuits that each race can carry. Generally speaking, in the absence of any special circumstances, the saints of orcs have six sets of circuits, elves and subelves and dwarves have five sets, and humans have only four. However, the battle order of the saint cannot be quantified by this, because when there are four sets of circuits and above, the extremely complex circuits can be linked to each other so that the magicians can use most of the low-level magic of the fourth order and below without chanting, and the ultra-high-level magic above the seventh order must be charged anyway, and when fighting, the saints rely more on the power and magic control they perceive to fight.
After all, for artists, there is no life in the mere stereotyping technique.
The empire is the empire of the Sun King, but it is also the empire of the sea god, so the architecture of Atlantis is unique, advocating tall buildings, and the color is brighter and brighter from the bottom to the top until the highest is bound to have pure white, and many rich or wealthy families will also use gold leaf to pave the glorious outer walls.
Most of the houses in the imperial capital are based on a bluestone that is a specialty of the southern part of the empire and the root of the wall, although it is called bluestone, but it is actually the color that exudes these light sensations in the darkness, and the imperial people believe that this can represent the deep sea very well, and represent the sea god that people worship and revere. Even better, there are nine kinds of building materials that have been certified by the Poseidon Temple and are collectively known as the "Holy Sacrifice Stones", which are so quiet in color that they will only use this kind of stone if they want to build a temple or church, so the price gradually becomes very expensive. This is not something that can be done like gold leaf to slap a swollen face and make a fat person, after all, if you make a house out of this kind of stone, if you make it too small to make people laugh, and if you make it too big, it will be astronomical.
Millions of people in the empire dreamed of building such a house one day, and even many middle-class people for several generations worked hard to save the cost of the house.
Wherever you see a quiet building in the empire, it must be the place where the god of the sea is blessed, and the foundation is a sacred stone, the roof is sunstone, and the jewels and gold are the most respectable nobles.
Restaurants, shops, hair salons, bathhouses and other places of public entertainment, as long as there are these, they don't even need too much, they are all high-class places, and they must be nobles who come and go.
The most prosperous central long street is extended from the imperial city, with two curved streets. At the end of East Street is the Tower of Eternity, which represents the highest point of magic in the hearts of countless people, and at the end of West Street is the first of the ten cathedrals of the empire except for Poseidon Palace, Neptune Cathedral.
Poseidon Palace is not accessible to everyone. "Whoever desires to kiss the Grace of God must be invited by God's Word. And God's spokesman on earth is Pope Dialson.
The current pope is very similar to the previous pope, he does not like to invite devout believers to visit the Poseidon Palace, while Diasun is more lazy than his teacher, and even the emperor has not been able to go to the Pope Pope until now. In this way, the status of the Niptune Cathedral among the believers has become higher and higher in a few hundred years, and the Sultan Elder is even called the "Little Pope", in the eyes of many juniors, his authority is even greater than that of the Pope, and he has been in charge of the church for nearly a hundred years, and he is the most promising successor of the Golden Archbishop after the fall of the previous Pope, not to mention the commander who also drove the Deep Sea Tribes on the western coast to the south.
It's just that no one knows what happened in that short half a month, so that Dialson and Tawasis, who were not holy at that time, stepped into the realm of gods one after another.
The only thing that can be known is that the Sultan returned from the Holocaust nearly fifty years ago and could only regret continuing to sit in Neptune Cathedral.
The world said that he was a humble priest, who would kneel before the god of the sea with devout believers every day, would give mass to the faithful regardless of status, even slaves, and would go to the surrounding villages in coarse linen clothes every week, giving alms to the less wealthy families, and if Diason represented the deepest part of the abyss, then he was the clear water that glittered in the sun.
And many young people no longer know that many, many years ago, they were the opposite.
Remember that the Sultan was the right hand of the god of the sea, and most of them have died in the war.
Jun Zhu led the three of Mu En to this most prestigious church, which is completely different from the white tower, and the sacrificial stones are piled up from deep to shallow, making people feel like they are in the rippling sea, strange and comfortable.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you should not kneel to me, I am just an equal believer in the sea god like everyone else. It's just that I am responsible for bringing the blessings of the god of the sea to everyone, this is the will of God, and everyone should love the mercy of the god of the sea. As he entered the temple, a group of believers who had come to worship were praying at the Sultan's side, and the Sultan knelt down in a soft, loving voice as a sign of equality.
Caesar crossed his arms and swept his eyes coldly, suddenly a little moved.
"I'm afraid this is the only place in the Empire where nobles and slaves can sit on the same land. He said.
Junzhuan and Dan also knelt in the crowd and sang the poems of the sage in the Poseidon Canon.
When the Sultan lifted everyone up one by one, he looked up and saw the two children who were indifferent, and to his surprise, the nearly 400-year-old golden-veined bishop took the initiative to bow slightly to the two who were less than twenty years old.
And Mu En hurried back to courtesy.
"Your first fight, and yesterday's fight against Mordred, I had the pleasure of watching. ”
The elder smiled, it was Mu En's honor to be able to watch the game by you. ”
"You're ...... Thirteen years old. ”
"After this summer, I will be fourteen years old. ”
The Sultan nodded slightly, as if he was very emotional.
"I still have some things to do and I'm going to leave first. If you two want to come and worship the god of the sea, please do it yourself. ”
"Mr. Sultan. When the Sultan turned around, Caesar suddenly stopped him, "Can you be redeemed by believing in the god of the sea? ”
The Sultan turned around and smiled slightly, "The sea god is forgiving, he is tolerant of everything, because everything is his child, so he is never partial. ”
"And never punish?"
"The creatures of the sea kill each other in order to survive, and the dolphin may hunt the thorn dolphin just to play, but the sea god never judges them according to his likes and dislikes and strength, this is the sea god's tolerance. But once the sea recedes, all the creatures in the ocean will not survive, and he gives his children a choice. And the creatures who can't live in the sea in the first place, the sea god lifts the continent with his own body and his own strength, in fact, this is like another kind of sea water. We will follow our gods and strive for the waters to never retreat, but we will not interfere with what the creatures of the sea do. Worshipping the god of the sea is to thank him for his most original kindness, and I believe that this original kindness will also be engraved in the deepest part of everyone's soul. Maybe you see evil, but it's just that the lost person has not yet woken up. Reading the gospel scriptures is actually the process of pursuing this goodwill, the process of building a spiritual beacon for everyone. ”
Caesar was silent, but he could see that he still scoffed, and after thinking for a long time he said, "Only the weak will pin the pillar of the spirit on something else, and I only trust in myself." ”
The Sultan was not annoyed when he heard this, but still had that gentle smile.
"The carapace of an insect is very hard, but once it passes through it, it is a soft inside, and although people look soft and fragile, their strong will can make them even if they are dead, and this is an important quality that we live on. ”
"What do you mean by talking? ”
"Haha, it's nothing, I didn't answer the question, I just hope you think about what I said, when insects die, they must be fragmented. If you want to return to the arms of God one day, I will baptize you myself. ”
Leaving behind the endless words, the Sultan lowered his eyebrows and left with compassion and humility in his eyes.
"Inexplicable. Caesar snorted, looking very disdainful, but with a slight panic as if he had been seen through.
Mu En smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "There's no need to take it too seriously, and I do think you can try to relax a little, I always feel that you are too tight." ”
Caesar knocked his hand off without appreciation, and said, "You don't know me at all." ”
Mu En raised his hand in surrender and said, "You don't know me either, people can't understand each other completely, but they can trust each other, can't they?"
"You're right. Caesar said, but still with that serious look.
"Don't seem to believe me yet. Mu En laughed and didn't say anything more.
Junzhu-sensei and Dan are both devout believers, so they have already gone to worship and only said that they should let Mu En and the others go shopping casually first.
In fact, how many people in the empire were not devout believers?
While strolling through this huge church that looks like a city within a city, Muen unexpectedly finds a person, yesterday's opponent Mordred.
"Eh, Caesar, I suddenly remembered one thing, who won the second game yesterday?"
"What is the name of the earth courtyard......
"Abel, I see. With that, Muen walked towards Mordred.
"Muen. Mordred also saw the boy walking towards him and called out his name.
"Don't you recuperate in the room and still run out to go shopping?" Mu En said with a strange yin and yang qi.
"Grandmaster Totalla's blessing, healed from his injury," Mordred replied decently, and no one knew if he wanted to beat up this young man who spoke very poorly.
"It's a pity, I was born later, and I wouldn't have been so embarrassed yesterday if I was born three years earlier. Mu En continued to laugh and stick the knife in.
Mordred also smiled and shot back: "It's a pity, the heavens are not beautiful, you were destined to be embarrassed yesterday." ”
Caesar crossed his arms to watch the play, frowned and interjected, "Where did you learn these strange words?"
"You don't need to learn, it's human instinct. Mu En laughed and turned around to leave.
"Will you come back tomorrow to watch the finals?"
"Unfortunately, not available. ”
Mordred smiled and shook her head, seemingly not taking Muen's provocation to heart.
"It's all about to ride in your face, you don't even fight, your temper is much better, junior brother. The sixth star stood beside him and teased him.
"No matter how much he doesn't get better, he is still a little angel, and he has to endure it. Besides – I think he's a nice guy, understandable. ”
"Even?"
"He was so hostile to me because I had injured his friend in the previous fight, and in hindsight I did go a little too far. The little angel who is willing to stand up for his friends and is taught by the tower master himself must be a good leader in the future. ”
"No matter what, it doesn't beat you. ”
"Didn't you hear him say that he was born three years late? He is three years younger than me, and if he is sixteen this year, I am afraid he can kill me. ”
"Eh, don't be so unconfident, you still have at least three moves that press the bottom of the box that you haven't used, you are invincible at the same age, and you can maintain this title for at least ten years. Don't talk about that, do you think there's something wrong with 'that person'?"
"Well, the moves are very evil, and there is a trace of evil magic, I can't see it, but I only found the clue when I imitated and analyzed it. ”
"Are you sure?"
"Don't dare, I'm afraid I'm analyzing in the wrong direction. ”
"Anyway, this matter is very big, and I will explain it to the teacher. ”
"I'll try to kill him when I get a chance. ”
"Don't be impulsive, there is no such precedent. ”
After visiting Neptune Cathedral, Mr. Junzhu and Dan seemed satisfied.
"It's like you're having a good time. Mu En looked at the happy expressions on the faces of the two of them, and felt completely incomprehensible.
"You know the, Neptune Cathedral is a holy place that every believer wants to go to, and you don't understand the power of faith at all. "Dan Yin Yang Strange Qi Dao.
"Faith kept you from even making it to the quarterfinals. "Just kidding, compare yin and yang with me Mu En?
"Me!"
"It's understandable that Dan has such an expression as if he was in the aftermath, didn't Mr. Junzhu study in the tower, so he should be able to come often, right?" Caesar suddenly said a lot of things uncharacteristically.
"My God, who taught you such words?" Teacher Jun was shocked, he understood "afterwards" at the age of sixteen?
"Hmm...... I'm also curious. Although I don't know what it means afterwards?" said Muen, reconsidering.
"This, because I didn't believe in religion when I entered the tower to study, until later...... Something happened, and this was the conversion to the god of the sea. Mr. Jun explained vaguely.
"Alright, stop talking about such a dangerous subject, where are we going now?" asked Dan, pulling the bandage off to stop talking.
"Shall you go and get dressed? I happen to know a well-known tailor in Beijing. Mu En suggested.
"No money. Dan rolled his eyes, and Caesar said with his eyes that he was about the same, "By the way, how did you know the tailor in the capital?
"Read. Mu En said without panicking.
"It's all strange knowledge. Although Dan teased this, his eyes glanced at Junzhu-sensei.
"It's up to me what I'm doing? The landlord's family has no food left, and the salary of a teacher is very low. ”
Later, Jun Zhu customized four sets of dresses at Mr. Neos's place, and when the old tailor saw Mu En, the two sides made eye contact, and finally Neos made a pair for the four of them at a special price of friendship, and Jun Zhu's hands were trembling slightly when he paid the deposit.
I'm TM, a deposit of four gold coins, or a friendship special?!rob you!
I hope the college will reimburse, otherwise Mu En won't want to pass in the second half of the year.
There is no doubt about this sale, and both sides feel that they are losing blood.
After that, the four of them went to the hair salon to get a haircut, heard a lot of anecdotes about the nobles of the empire, and then went to the alleys of Qianmo to give alms to the poor, in this matter, the four of them felt very meaningful, especially Caesar, when he saw those children who might have a difficult life, his eyes were particularly serious.
In the evening, I had a simple dinner in a tavern that was not flashy but tasted very good, and when I returned to the academy, the four of us took a beautiful bath, in fact, Dan proposed to go to the public bathhouse at that time, but Mr. Jun obviously thought of something, and righteously refused the request.
Mu En, who was in the bathtub, was actually very tired after a day of shopping, he looked at the sky, and suddenly felt that this kind of life was really good, and the carefree made all the laughter and scolding very vivid.
It's just that how many times can life be so comfortable?
Yes...... Your Majesty, I think I understand the definition of goodness in my heart.
