Chapter 311: About Faith
There is an ordinary solid wood table in the living room, which is usually used for writing and office.
Thor walked around to the chair behind the table and sat down.
After taking a sip of the warm black tea, Thor held his chin on the table with two arms erected.
The purpose of making this listener gesture is twofold.
One is to add a bit of formality, and the other is to signal to the white-robed Archbishop of Bernate that you can tell the next story.
As a repeat offender who abducts shiitake mushrooms many times, Thor considers himself a storyteller himself.
No matter how the other party was in a hurry, Thor decided that he would only have two answers.
One is that I will deny whatever you say, and the other is that if you are too lazy to deny, you will 'oh' all the way to the end.
Although the opponent's strength is far above him, Thor doesn't care.
The Holy See of Light is also a prominent time in history, and there will always be some pattern on the table. Speaking of which, he helped them once in the winter, even if Thor didn't blackmail Entu to repay him, at least he couldn't let the other party cheat him.
"I'm sorry, but I wandered around your garden without permission, before you arrived. With one hand behind his back and the other slightly spread, Bernate began his speech, and the garden was naturally Thor's territory.
"It doesn't matter, we in the Free City have always welcomed outsiders, as long as we don't mischievous. In addition, this territory is not my garden, a group of poor people huddled together to keep warm are united here, this is everyone's garden. Thor kept smiling.
You are right, God loves you and other people, and He sacrificed everything to be with you. Bernate raised an elbow and pointed his finger at Thor as if we had thought of it together.
“...... Oh. Looking at the old god's deceitful and bluffing ghost, Thor could only let out a rooster croak with a toothache. If God had been with me, I would have beaten him to death, and he would not have loved anyone.
"This territory...... Very good, much better than I thought. Bernate continued.
"Oh. Thor continued to crow, he didn't like the old guy's eyes, as if he were looking at his own home.
"You know why I'm here. The old god turned his head to look at Thor, not a question, but a statement.
"Yes, I do know, from the time you sneaked up and Halloville frowned. Thor nodded.
Ignoring Thor's sarcasm, Bernate smiled at the corners of his old mouth and turned to the Holy Maiden Eletha. Only when Eletha had stood up did he sit down calmly in the chair of the saint, and slumped there like an old goblin.
Old guy this is ...... Is that not going to work? Or are you thirsty? Or, is this still a wheel war?
"Come on, bring another chair, and change the tea by the way. Thor shouted to the servants standing outside the door.
This group of people is pervasive, and they may be able to pull for a long time when they see an ant. Thor just noticed that there are only two random chairs for guests, and if this egg is picked up by the other party, who knows what will be pulled out, and how long it will take.
Come on, Thor regrouped his fighting spirit and looked at the mushroom monster in front of him, the Holy Maiden Eletha.
"It's normal to come into contact with Halloville, we're looking for soil for our faith, we have to walk around and see. Ellesha picked up the conversation and lifted her hand to remove the veil from her face, revealing a beautiful but not as beautiful face as Cleti.
Saul's teeth began to hurt again, and you pulled the veil again, did you not even speak without showing your face?
"Soil of faith? It seems that Hollowwell is clearly not, and certainly not here. So you still haven't found it, and I'm sorry about that. Thor shrugged his shoulders, an expression that I wouldn't accept outsiders here.
"You can be here and all things are perfectly matched, and our Church of Light will sprout and grow here, bringing back the glory of the Lord God of Light to the world. Aretha spread out gracefully with one hand and pressed it into a small fist to her heart.
Are you doing opera? If it were a different occasion, maybe Saul would have given him some applause for the sake of Aretha's dedication.
"Sprouting? It's useless for you to bloom here, because I don't agree. Even if you cross me, Arrantis in the north and the Dark Council in the south will not agree, so you will not end up with anything but uprooting. Thor spread his hands.
"Some roads have to be walked after all, even if they are paved with blood and sacrifice. Eletha bowed her head, as if remembering the past.
"But you can go on your own, or somewhere else, as long as you don't come and kidnap me. I just like to spend the winter in my old tent and don't like to be part of other people's dream journeys, so it's still a pity. Thor pursed his lips and tilted his head.
"Does your Free City include Liberal Faith?" seemed to have found a new breaking point, and Ellesha asked suddenly. Huaxiu Chinese
"Yes, but there are limits to that inclusion. I have no objection to the people finding some spiritual sustenance on their own, one or two people or one or two families, no matter what god they believe, even if it is an evil god, there is no problem. ”
"But as soon as the area of a certain belief spreads among the people, before it expands to the point where it can influence public opinion or the hearts of a large number of people, I will act blatantly. Tear down the shrines, smash the idols, and crush them under your feet. ”
"Eventually, I'll banish these fools who live by dreaming out of my territory. ”
"This is my attitude towards the gods, as it has been and will be. Thor's eyes were sharpened.
"Why do you have to stop others from keeping up with the Lord God?" Eletha was not annoyed by Thor's sharp words.
"Because there is no point, prayers and all sorts of inexplicable rituals take up most of their time. I think they can do more things that are good for their families when they have that time, even if it's a game of horseshoe rings to relax and relax. ”
Oh, and the horseshoe is a little folk game.
Nail a stake of about the same thickness vertically to the ground, and then stand at a certain distance and throw a U-shaped horseshoe, if the mouth of the farrier is accurately hung into the stake, it is worth one point, and by inertia the horseshoe will rotate around the stake, and each revolution is worth one more point.
This kind of small game is very popular among the people, in which the master is said to be able to hang on a wooden stake and spin seven or eight times after throwing a horseshoe, and the game itself is often used by the public for gambling with its novel gameplay of accumulating points.
Most ordinary families will have a tree stump in front of the door, which is not expensive and suitable for all ages.
So if you see it in the country, don't think it's a stake for a domestic animal, it's not a broken cross, and there's no dead person sleeping behind it, it's just someone else's horseshoe ferrule.
But spiritual faith can help them find peace of mind. Aretha looked at Thor.
"I think they would be calmer if they could eat and drink enough and sit by the fire with their new clothes wrapped in new clothes and holding an ale with their aese. And all this is given to them by my lord, not by God. ”
"For the kind of person who eats my food and sells someone else's life, I can't help but want to kill him. ”
In other words, if the Lord God appeared in the world and gave him a lot of money, or pulled him in his troubles. I may understand that he finally chose to compromise and indulge in temptation after a human struggle. ”
"The problem is that God didn't give him anything, and I don't understand that he ignored my support for something he hadn't seen or even knew what it was. Thor leaned back in his chair and spread his hands.
But there are also many rich people who believe in the gods. Aretha argued.
"What's so strange about that? Or so what? Rich people are more likely to get lost because of the broadening of their horizons. ”
"Those who have been corrupted by money and have fragile hearts, and whose hands have been stained with blood when accumulating primitive capital, or you have done a good enough job of brainwashing and propaganda to make people think that this is a trend for rich people with a lot of money, as if they don't believe in something, they are nothing. ”
"Every time I see the vain faces of the rich people, and I hear them talk about them ostentatiously, and I go to the temple and pray devoutly, I always hear the phrase 'I watched the pile of excrement in front of my house again.'" ”
"Well, isn't it good to have those times to do something?" Thor shook his head and sighed, like an old man who had been hit by fallen leaves.
"Poof~" Elesha couldn't help but burst out laughing, but immediately realized that she was actually laughing because of such vulgar language. This guy is really dangerous, and he is using his crooked arguments to shake his devout faith.
"You say gods don't exist?" Aresa stared at Thor suddenly, as if Thor had stumped on her cloth enough for a bear.
"Have you seen God? I mean with your own eyes, don't tell me about the history and legends of the continent, which were written by people. If I were a writer, there would be no gods in the afterlife. Thor held out his fingers and clasped the table.
"Of course I did!" said Aretha, a stalk in her neck.
"Oh~~~~?tell me, what does she look like?does she have breasts and ass?or can she run around with her head in her hands?" Thor let out a long rooster croak as if he was about to lay eggs, and then gave an interesting expression.
"God is great, holy, and everywhere......" Aretha began to put together with her head bowed like an endorsement.
"Stop, stop, stop piling up rhetoric, it's great and holy. You don't say he's a god, I thought it was a stray dog I picked up before! Really, the dog I met was covered in snow-white hair after washing. ”
"I think it's very white and holy, especially when it wants to gnaw on the bones, that melancholy little look is really holy. When it chased me for bones and playing, I felt like it was everywhere. ”
"Really, stop talking in this stupid way, it's not friendly to me. ”
"Maybe you don't care about lowering your IQ, but I'm working hard. I'm like a drowning man trying to swim back to shore, and you're like a silly whirlpool, desperately trying to get me in, and I'm swimming really hard. ”
"I never said your faith was worthless, but at least not with me. Rather than talking to me about anything here, I don't have the topic of 'making some gilded chalice to sell it' that appeals to me more. Thor waved his hand.
