The Camp of Good and Evil (21)
Seeing Yechen's gloomy face, Mansha didn't know what to say or how to comfort her, but fortunately, Yechen soon adjusted her mentality, and she said with a smile: "I was busy with some things some time ago, and from today I will come over to preach together." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
At this stage, the mission is actually quite simple, using some gifts to attract people, and then explaining to them the Gospel Bible, the way of light, and slowly developing believers through this subtle influence. After so many days of hard work, Yechen has developed five or six cultists who can barely be called believers, at least even if there are no gifts to distribute, they will come and listen to it if they have time, which is already very good, only if they are interested in the teachings of the Holy See of Light, can they develop slowly.
Gather people together, preach doctrines, distribute gifts, and do it once a day, when those who go out to work and work will come back, and during the day, as long as they can move, except for the widows, the sick and weak, they have to go out to earn money to support themselves, and not many people come to listen to Mansha's preaching at that time. During the day, Mansa will also use candy to attract some children to listen to her story, although they are all children, and they don't understand the truth, but they will always have some effect, and maybe they will also walk on the path of light in the future.
The two girls did a day of preaching together, and thanks to Mansha, a native of the slums, Yechen might have encountered much trouble if she was alone. Don't look at Mansha as just a young girl, but she can always take action when she encounters injustices, whether the other party is a hooligan or a gangster, she can speak up, and she will do her best to help people in need, so Mansa is still very popular with everyone in the slums, and there is much less obstacle for her to preach on behalf of Yechen.
In the evening, Yechen and Mansha finished preaching the teachings, and chatted with this group of potential believers, everyone dispersed, at this time it was almost ten o'clock, rest early, tomorrow morning just dawn will go to work, this era of industrial revolution has just begun, productivity is not so developed, at night the factory is brightly lit to let the workers work is impossible, at this time, whether it is at home or factory site, the main source of lighting is daylight, so it is dark and the factory will get off work, in order to maximize the blood and sweat of the workers, Factories often stipulate that work must start at dawn.
Mansha was packing up the spread out gospel Bible, Yechen sat next to him to rest, a more than two hours of preaching was still quite tiring, fortunately there were two people this time, and I don't know how she persevered when there was only Mansha alone before, suddenly, Yechen remembered a question and asked: "I remember that in the morning you said that there was not much money left." β
Mansha's heart tightened, and she put down the Gospel Bible in her hand and said, "Yes, there are only twelve pounds and seventy-three pence left." β
"How many are left?" Yechen said with some surprise, she gave Mansha a hundred pounds before, and according to her estimate, it should have been used up a long time ago, but there were a lot of things a few days ago, so she didn't care about it, and she didn't expect that there was still a little left.
Mansha explained, "That's enough money for us to hold two doctrinal lectures. β
Yechen said, "Tomorrow you come to the apartment building behind the Holy Light Cathedral early to come to me, don't you know where I live?" It's not a long time for us to raise some money for this mission, and it's not going to be able to do it all with my salary. β
"Raise funds?" Mansha hadn't really heard of this kind of statement, and asked, "How do you raise it?" β
Yechen stood up and said, "You'll know when the time comes, come early tomorrow." With that, he walked out.
Early the next morning, when it was still dawn, there was a knock on the door of the apartment where Yechen lived, Catherine, who was making breakfast, was wearing an apron and opened the door to see, Mansha had come, she was also an obedient good child, Yechen told her to come early She would come really early, she went out when it was still completely dark, and it was not dawn before she came to Yechen's door, but Mansha considered that her teacher was not a workaholic who forgot to sleep and eat, she waited for more than half an hour, and only knocked on the door when it was dawn, But it still came early.
Seeing Mansha standing outside the door, Catherine said enthusiastically: "Mansha, you are here to find Miss Yechen, come in." β
Mansa had come to the apartment where she had been staying for the night, but only once, and she sat in her chair with some restraint, not knowing what to do, and Catherine welcomed her over and went on to the kitchen to make breakfast, leaving her alone in the living room.
Fortunately, it didn't take a few minutes for Yechen to come out, she was wearing a loose homely casual dress, and when she saw Mansha, she yawned and said: "You came too early, just right, Catherine made breakfast and it was almost ready, let's eat together, let's go again after eating, don't be too anxious, believe me, those powerful people are much lazier than us, we have plenty of time to eat before they get up, and then walk over slowly." β
Seeing Yechen, Mansha stood up and said, "I've already had breakfast." β
Yechen said: "What are you eating, or a piece of black bread that can kill people?" Now that you've come to me, let's eat a little more. β
Although Mansha felt that it was a little inappropriate, she still sat down at the table under Yechen's repeated requests.
Soon, Catherine made the meal, which was actually very simple, a glass of warm milk, a piece of bread, of course, not the kind of black bread that Mansa ate, but white bread made of refined grains, with a thick layer of butter on it. In addition, there is a fish, in fact, breakfast generally does not eat fish, but Yechen is not used to eating things here, it happens that here is near the river and the sea, there are still a lot of fresh seafood in the river, especially this kind of "sturgeon", the taste is the best, it is very fresh and tender after steaming, and it is very delicious. "Sturgeon" is actually the name given by Yechen, according to this world, this fish is called Harlins fish, and there are still some differences from sturgeon, but it is really quite similar, Yechen directly called it sturgeon. Yechen loves to eat fish, but Catherine actually doesn't like it very much, fish can only be eaten in small bites, and you have to pay attention to spitting thorns, it's too troublesome, if you want to eat, it's better to eat large pieces of meat, for example, the braised pork taught to her by Tang Wu, Catherine likes it very much, it's oily, and the juice is overflowing in one bite, which is much more refreshing than eating fish. Because of this, Catherine only made one fish, Yechen loves to eat fresh fish, and the fish she ate in the morning was bought by Catherine last night and kept in a pot, because she didn't like to eat this, so she only bought one. Mansha suddenly came over, and the milk bread could have prepared an extra portion, but there was only one fish.
The three girls sat around the table to eat, and Mansa saw that Catherine was not eating the fish, but only Yechen was eating it alone, thinking that it was made especially for her, and that she was only interested in eating her own bread and milk. Seeing this, Yechen didn't give in politely, she was happy to enjoy the whole fish by herself, she was not the kind of person who was happy to share what she liked with others, and it seemed quite good to have it alone.
The hobby of eating fish was still cultivated by Yechen in the mission world of Hogwarts, at first she didn't have so many taboos, and it didn't matter what she ate, but in the mission world of Hogwarts, in order to shape Phyllis's lonely temperament (see the Hogwarts series of missions in "Goddess of Death" for the specific plot.) She gave herself a setting, specializing in eating fish, and it is steamed fish, because such fish meat is "clean", Yechen has been in the mission world of Hogwarts for ten years, and after such a long time, the habit of eating fish has been completely formed, and since then Yechen has had a hobby, like to eat fish.
After breakfast, Catherine went out, what to do Mansa didn't want to ask much, she sat with Yechen for a while, Yechen explained to her a more esoteric and difficult to understand Bright Church classics, and at nine o'clock they changed into white priest's robes and went out to raise funds.
Out of the apartment building, Yechen took Mansha to the street, and he didn't rent a carriage or anything, but walked on foot, walked for more than twenty minutes, and came to a small villa.
The villa is really small in size, only a small three-storey building with a small garden in front. Although the place is not big, you must know that this is the center of the South Bank District of Langden City, and if you have a house here, you can be called a powerful person, and if you can live in a villa with a garden, it is definitely a real powerful person in Langden City.
"...... here?" Mansha asked in a whisper.
Yechen said: "Here lives the secretary of the mayor of Langdon City, called Casen, don't look at it as just a secretary, but this person's background is not simple, and he has a lot of contacts in Langdon City, with his support, there is no problem with our mission funds, okay, go knock on the door, let's say that the Holy Church of Light Holy Bright Cathedral Pastor Yechen is coming to visit." β
Mansha glanced at Yechen with some doubts, to be honest, she didn't understand what Yechen said, but she didn't ask anything, and obediently went to knock on the door.
There was a knock on the black cast-iron fence door, and a butler in his forties, with a serious face, dressed in solemn black clothes, came up and asked, "Who is this young lady pastor looking for?" β
Mansha said a little nervously, "This is Pastor Yechen, my name is Mansha, and we are here to find Mr. Cassin." β
The housekeeper asked with some confusion, "Do you have an appointment?" "He doesn't remember anyone making an appointment to visit today."
Yechen, who was standing behind Mansha, took a step forward and said, "If you are in trouble, you will say that I am here to heal." β
The housekeeper frowned, this sentence was very strange, and there was no beginning or end, but he didn't dare to blast people out like this, because the woman named Yechen didn't look right. Cassin's background is indeed not simple, as a housekeeper, he has also seen all over the world, and has seen countless heroes for a while, and there are still some eyes for people, the woman named Mansha is nothing, just an ordinary priest, her eyes are shining, it seems that she has not seen anything in the world, but Yechen is different, although there is no trace of fireworks standing there, he looks at the woman's black eyes and feels a chill. He also knew that his master, Cassin, was not only in contact with some powerful people on the surface, but also secretly had relationships with assassins, dead soldiers, witches, and evil doctors, who knew who such a stunned guy who wanted to see Mr. Casse without making an appointment, who might be who.
The housekeeper frowned slightly and said, "Wait a minute, you two, I'll go and report it." With that, he turned around and left.
Mansha looked back at Yechen and asked in a low voice, "What kind of treatment, aren't we here to raise funds?" β
Ye Chen smiled and said: "Mansha, this world is very complicated, even complex to make you unimaginable, you can follow me to experience it today, it can be regarded as meeting the market, and this kind of thing will not be less in the future." β
Mansha nodded, not knowing if she understood, and didn't ask again.
After a while, the butler came back and said, "Please, both." So he invited them to a small study on the first floor.
Casson was reading a book there, saying that he couldn't read a book at all, during this time the political scene of the Grand Federation was treacherous, and well-informed people knew that something was going to happen, but whether it was a big thing or a small thing, a good thing or a bad thing, who would have an accident, and when it would happen, no one could say clearly. Politics is not so straightforward, even the so-called mastermind behind the scenes has to adjust the strategy at any time according to the specific situation, and how things will develop depends on the efforts of all parties, and even depends on the luck. As a person in this troubled water, Cason can fish in troubled waters and get benefits or be drowned accidentally, he doesn't know, the future is just a fog for him, and he can't see anything clearly, but no matter whether the next step is a smooth road or a cliff, he has to move forward, can he be in a good mood in this case? During this time, he stayed in his own small villa, also to be able to calm down.
As Cassin flipped through the books, the butler reported that two priests had come to visit, one of whom claimed to have come to heal.
Cure? What kind of disease is cured, and he is not sick, Cassin didn't figure it out, but I'm afraid it's not an ordinary person to listen to the housekeeper, anyway, it's useless to think about it now, since someone is coming to visit, let's see it. This is a world with supernatural abilities, and it is not only the powerful who live at the top of the food chain, but also those powerful supernatural people, including some guys with strange and even distorted thoughts, and Cassin has also dealt with them, these people are powerful, to be precise, they are powerful, and it is not clear whether they can accomplish anything, but the ability to disrupt the situation is more powerful than the other, and it is not worth provoking them for no reason.
Yechen and Mansha walked into the study under the guidance of the butler, and saw Cassin introduce himself first, Cassin looked the two of them up and down, and asked, "You said that you are here to heal, then tell me what diseases you can cure, and who is sick here?" β
Hearing this, Yechen chuckled in her heart, and she suddenly realized that she had thought wrong before. (To be continued.) )
