Chapter 768: Coming
The salt pans with shallow water are as flat as mirrors, the vertical and horizontal Qianmo divides the endless plains into neat squares like a chessboard, the wind blows with a strong salty and astringent smell, and the shallow water is silted with sea salt like a hill of snowflakes.
Drying salt is a traditional trade that has been passed down for hundreds of years by Fischer-Tropsch, and it is also the foundation of the Fischer-Tropsch merchants.
On a stone road dozens of feet away from the salt works, a low-key brown-red carriage drove from the direction of Gypsys.
The salt farmer patrolling the salt pans glanced up from under his hat and saw that the carriage had far bypassed the salt pans and slowly drove into the town.
"Don't you really need me to meet your parents in person, Angelia?"
At the mouth of an alley not far from Angelia's house, Angelia jumped out of the carriage with her skirt in her hand, and another question came from behind her, and she turned her head.
"No, my little courtyard can't hold a big man like you, and besides, I told them that it was a noble lady who hired and nurtured me, not a prominent countess and a mysterious mage, and that would scare their not strong hearts out of the disease!"
After the last false alarm in her hometown, Angelia already knows what it means to be really good to her family.
Her family members are all real ordinary people, and Angelia still prefers that they are safe and sound than the glory of serving the great nobles, anyway, having her by Miss's side is enough to take care of her family when necessary.
"Then Sister Angelia, how do you convince your relatives to move?" Athena's crisp voice came from the shadows of the carriage seats.
"Don't worry about this, my uncle is a very long-term man, and as soon as he heard that I had a relationship with Merlin, he immediately helped to persuade my parents - I have already sold most of their things in the time I have been home, and my uncle is also going to sell part of the property and give it to my parents so that they can transfer it to Merlin."
Lin An thought thoughtfully, "Are there a lot of businessmen who have sold their properties like this recently?" β
"It's not much, it's mainly a business house like my uncle that is not too big, the real big merchants have their own caravan guards and mercenary groups, even if there is a war ahead, they feel that they are far from the Cheng dΓΉ that needs to be worried!"
Angelia had been in Fitto for two months, and she had a good understanding of Fito's situation, and through the communication of the Ring of Artemis, she had collected a lot of information from her uncle's channels under the direction of Lin An.
Lin An's carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley, attracting the attention of some residents, and a group of children under the age of ten ran past the carriage giggling, running around with a peek and a chatter.
However, there was a thick honey locust tree in the direction of the carriage door, and Angelia was sandwiched in a corner, which happened to be obscured by most of her body, and the children who ran by couldn't see anyone here, and the children twisted their necks to look backwards as they ran, and accidentally hit someone.
The big children who collided head-on with people got up in a hurry, afraid of being scolded by adults, and didn't look at who it was, so they ran away with a grimace and giggling, except for the youngest boy who saw that he was dropped, but his calves were short and couldn't catch up, the corners of his mouth turned down, and he immediately sat on the ground and cried.
"Oh, don't cry, little one! See, what is it? β
Suddenly a sweet hard toffee was stuffed into his mouth, and a pair of clean big hands under the white wide sleeves reached out, picked up the child, and patted the dust off the child's body.
ββ¦β¦ Father Spear...... Hee-hee! β
The little kid with the sweet candy broke into tears and laughed, and after being let go, he stumbled on his little legs and ran to find his friends.
The residents who saw it in the vicinity were smiling, and while the young priest was gesturing on his chest, some put down their work and drew a cross on his chest in return.
"It's him again!" Angelia frowned.
"Who is he? Do you have a church in town? Lin An asked.
"I have only been in the town for the past two years, and I have been preaching, attracting some townspeople to church services." Angelia replied.
Because of the events in the town of Sinreba, she was very wary and hostile to the messengers of these Holy Sees.
She did not change her faith in God, but after learning the inside story of the secret room from Lin An, the Holy See, as the spokesperson of God, had been tarnished in her heart, and fell from the altar, because of the blasphemy of her faith, she hated these representatives of the gods who blasphemed the sacredness.
To her relief, perhaps due to her uncle's influence, although her family is all believers, they don't seem to be so firm in their beliefs, and the atmosphere of Fisto can easily affect people unconsciously, and her parents don't always come to church when they are too busy, although the family's donations to the church have never been less.
Angelia felt a strong sense of nausea at the thought that her family's donation could be used for all sorts of unobscure and vicious research behind the papal see.
The young priest who had left the alley seemed to feel the disgusted gaze behind him, and glanced back to see a carriage without a badge parked under a tall honey locust tree.
"Alright, Angelia, go back quickly." Lin Andao.
"Yes, miss," Angelia pushed a step forward, "our house will be sold in two days, and my uncle will arrange for my family to enter the caravan and go directly to Merlin, and I will be back at that time." β
"Don't worry, let's do the aftermath of the problem, we still have a few days to stay in Gypsy City."
"Yes, my miss!" She lifted her skirt and curtsied, "By the way, one more thing, I forgot to tell you, I seem to have sensed a promotion recently." β
They met for a whole day, and it wasn't until parting that she seemed to say something casually, even if she didn't look at the smile in her emerald green eyes, Lin An knew that she did it on purpose.
Lin An was a little surprised, and then understood that this was the result of Angelia's hard cultivation after that ordeal, plus returning home and untying the invisible shackles in her heart, and finally came naturally.
After thinking for such a moment, Athena took the lead, "Oh, Sister Angelia is amazing!" I thought that if you went home for two months, you might slack off in your cultivation! β
Angelia's forced smile suddenly filled the air, and she raised her chin proudly.
Athena's praise is tickling her itch, what is more gratifying than the harvest after sweating?
She felt that she had somewhat understood Sidney's dedication and enthusiasm for cultivation, and this sense of conquest step by step was really addictive.
After Lin An congratulated Angelia, he said:
"The breakthrough of Dou Qi is not as dangerous and troublesome as the promotion of mages, and it will naturally break through when it accumulates, I will go back and help you practice a few more bottles of potions, you pay attention to taking it during this time, there should be no problem with the transformation of Dou Qi." Also, if in doubt, remember to ask John and Shiryl, you are a big promotion this time, which is very important. β
Angelia nodded her head and thanked her, and the two sides said a few more words and exited the alley.
When Lin An's carriage drove away, she pretended to have just returned from outside the alley, and the residents who saw the carriage did not associate her with the carriage.
At the corner of the street, the young priest who was slowly walking towards the church occasionally stopped to salute the faithful, and the clattering carriage slowly passed by him, and the priest looked at the back of the carriage and walked back to the church.
Walking through the auditorium, where rows of wooden chairs were placed, the priest walked to the back of the church, where a few pigeons were running and pecking in the open space where some wheat grains had been sprinkled.
The priest grabbed a handful of wheat and scattered it, and heard two cooing overhead, and a much larger white dove jumped from above to the railing in front of him, paced two steps, and raised its thin red paws.
The priest untied the letterbox, took out the thin paper on which the ciphertext had been written, and returned to his room, taking out a dictionary of the ciphertext.
"His Majesty Thutes is coming?"
"I've arrived."
With a proclamation that seemed to ring in his ears, the door opened, and the white-robed Son, who had recently been canonized as the "Son of Dawn", appeared outside the door of the priest's room.
He had a deep contoured face, his eyebrow bones protruded, and the gray and pale blue blended into a smoky blue in his eyes, which was full of the vastness of the sky and the love and compassion for life, and the unadorned white robe draped over the long body could not hide the ruggedness of his figure, and all kinds of physical features showed that he was a Merlin.
But what the young priest saw was not the face of the Son of Dawn, but the corners of his robe that hung under his feet, and the thin dust on the floor of the room that automatically drained to either side as he stepped in.
It was as if the dust had a will of its own, and did not dare to desecrate the divine beings who had been favored by the gods.
An aura of holy power that could not be ignored filled the entire room.
The young priest hurriedly bowed deeply, "The omnipotent Father God is above, and the two-year priest Judea. Lanto, I've seen the Son! β
"There is no need to bow this way, and all the believers of the QiΔ Sect do not need to bow when they see the Holy Son, don't you know?"
As Theseus stepped into the door, the young priest felt a peaceful and pure force lift him up from below, "You and I are both the Father's people, brothers and sisters without blood, and there is no distinction between dignity and inferiority, but because of the different duties and duties given by the Father. β
The young priest was moved, "I see, I have misunderstood the will of the Father. β
He hurriedly straightened up and made a peaceful salute to the son of the morning sun to meet the clergy, and blessed the father and God.
The young priest looked at the face of the son of the morning sun, and after being slightly stunned, he did not look surprised.
God the Father loves the world, but what is the difference between the Merlins and the Holy Empire? As long as he is a walker and a believer in the will of the Father, he is not related to each other by blood.
Moreover, in the son of the morning light, he felt a vast and vast divine power, which was like a full moon and a dim star compared to what had accumulated in his body, and he could not help but have a feeling of conversion and worship, as if the Father had descended.
The Third Son is already like this, so I can't imagine how much the Radiant God is so favored by the Father and so destined by God.
The young priest could not help but feel a sense of admiration in his heart.
