Chapter 115: The Strength of the Temple
"Okay, please dine too."
Glancing at Sophia, who was chewing the bamboo shoots with a clattering sound, Cloud Shadow found that her appetite suddenly increased a lot.
Except for the lack of minced meat, Yunying was actually very satisfied with this dinner, those vegetarian dishes were refreshing and delicious, and it was good to scrape the intestines occasionally, and Sister Joy was really as gentle and kind as Sophia described, and her heart would brighten up when eating in such a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, which was the most relaxing time for Yunying in more than a month.
"Thank you, Miss Angel, the rest meal for a few days is also very delicious, and it is because of God's alms that we poor people can survive."
"Yes, the God of Light is so merciful that only the messengers of the temple would think of us poor people."
“……”
Attracted by the sound of talking outside the window, Yun Ying turned his gaze to the group of civilians who were queuing up for food not far away, and the girl in the white robe seemed to be an acquaintance.
"Is Glebe a second-year student, Angel? Played against me? ”
"That's right, you should also know the boy in the white robe next to her."
After Sophia's suggestion, Cloud Shadow took a closer look - it turned out to be Chris - the second year of Griffu who had been seriously injured by Memphis.
"Healed his injuries so quickly?"
"Hehe, the temple's healing skills are very good, hmph, that Memphis is too ruthless."
Sophia gritted her teeth when she said this, but Cloud Shadow didn't express her opinion, because according to the situation at the time, it was Chris who wanted to kill first, but his skills were not as good as others.
"I didn't expect so many people to believe in the temple...... How do you do that? ”
"We didn't deliberately accept believers, Miss Yunying should know that the temple believes in the god of light, and we advocate kindness and love, so every afternoon we will give porridge to the ordinary people who have rushed to the cafeteria, and we hope to help these poor people who are suffering within the scope of our ability. I didn't expect that over time, those people would become the most devout believers in the Temple of Light. ”
Sister Joy's tone was gentle when she said this, but Cloudshadow could still feel a sense of pride in her work, and she really wanted to help the poor people in rags.
"And what about Angel's people? Did they also accept help before becoming temple believers? ”
"It can also be said that Angel and Yukos have been orphans since they were children, you may have heard that our temple also hosts an orphanage nearby-the Home of Love, every year we will send many potential children to school for free, Angel and Yukos are the best of them, in fact, we don't require everyone to serve the temple after learning something, but they still come back one by one."
House of Love - Rooney seems to have said he had been there before, orphan...... The children who are grateful to the temple will surely have an unparalleled loyalty to the temple after making achievements. And these people will inevitably be scattered in all corners of the Ania Empire when they grow up, and at that time - they will become a network force for the development of the temple.
"The development of an organization is inseparable from young new forces, but the temple is also very influential among the nobility."
"Huh. It was the generous generosity of the wealthy merchants who came here to donate some penance money, and it was because of their generosity that these hungry poor people were able to survive on the temple, and those well-wishers also worshipped the god of light. ”
Although Sister Joy said it tactfully, Cloud Shadow could have a large net of imperial power in the temple - no wonder Rog was so eager to cooperate with Memphis. You must know that he is likely to be infamous for betraying history for colluding with other races.
"Then why didn't Sister Joy just ask the nobles to give advice to His Majesty the Emperor, and let him order the improvement of the people's livelihood, and provide enough food for the poor? Maybe His Majesty the Emperor can fundamentally solve the problems of the lives of the people at the bottom? ”
"Cloud Shadow!"
Directly called the name - Sophia on the side was a little angry, yes, this is a bit of a transgression problem for the Temple of Light, and Cloud Shadow is clearly questioning the power of the God of Light.
"Sophia. Pay attention to etiquette, Miss Cloud Shadow asked a good question, but we can't do that. Because interfering with the imperial power is not allowed by God. ”
Sister Joy's voice was still soft, but her eyes had become sharper, but fortunately, Cloud Shadow was thick enough that no matter how the middle-aged nun looked at her, she always maintained a non-inching expression.
"Alright, Sophia. The Holy Light Ceremony is about to begin, aren't you going to take Miss Yunying around? ”
"Oh. Sister Joy didn't say I forgot, Brother Shadow, come with me. ”
Ritual of the Light? Curious for a long time, saying goodbye to Sister Joey, who got up to clean up the dinner plate, Cloud Shadow ran to the hall where Sophia and the others had come.
As soon as he walked into the hall, Yun Ying was held by the hundreds of people who suddenly gathered - the hall was obviously very empty just now.
"Brother Shadow, the ten people standing at the front are the bishop, the twenty priests behind the bishop, the twenty behind the preacher are the great nuns, the fifty behind the great nuns are ascetics, and the few people scattered around are invited to bathe in the holy light."
"Bishop? Priest? Grand nun? Ascetics? Does the Light Ceremony need so many people to preside? ”
"That's right, the spiritual leader of the Temple of Light is the Holy Maiden, and there are four archbishops under the Holy Maiden, and the archbishop is in charge of ten bishops, and the priest and the Grand Nun are the executors of the daily activities of the Temple, and there are thousands of preachers and nuns under it, and Sister Joy is the Grand Nun of the Temple of Light, and as for the ascetics, they are a mysterious group, and those people believe that they can only achieve the greatest improvement by making their own cultivation suffer to the extreme, so except for the ascetics who stay in the temple to perform the ritual of the Holy Light, The others have gone to places with harsh conditions to cultivate, but don't underestimate their skinny figures, in terms of strength, even the Holy Knights, who directly guard the Holy Maiden, are not their opponents, and it is said that the ascetics often help those poor people who are far away in the mountains and have no money to sell medicine, which is a very respected group. ”
Awesome, although these people were ragged and skinny, their eyes revealed a firm conviction, wasn't the exercise method that caused extreme physical pain the same extreme exercise method that Yun Ying had used before? I really want to exchange ideas with these people, but the expressions of the ascetics seem to be very indifferent, and I really can't imagine the superb strength of these people just by looking at their appearances - they are even more powerful than the Holy Knights, and the Holy Knights are gods and horses?
