Chapter 62. Ice to the Heroic Thunder Tribulation, Battle Monitor Lizard Joins Forces to Save Li Yi (Part I)

(Please wait for tomorrow for the official chapter)

"My child, to hear Hao'er say that you have achieved the certification of a divine craftsman, that is really the greatest joy in the empire since ancient times. Will you accept my invitation to join the Holy Church and fight for God's will forever? ”

"I do."

"Dear child. The glory of God is with you, may the Spirit of God walk on earth as it walks in heaven. "The Pope made a gesture between my foreheads, and I could clearly see the circle on his fingertips, the darkness of the abyss.

The Pope took out the medal again to wear it for me, and I instinctively wanted to humbly refuse or say something hypocritical, but I remembered Xu Hao's words, so I bowed my head to thank the Pope and then waited for the Pope to wear the medal for me. After the medal was worn, the Pope said that he wanted the whole world to share this happy event, so he arranged for someone from the Ministry of Truth to write a biography for me and spread my image to every corner of the empire, and the Pope said that this event should be known to every villager.

At the Pope's command, I rushed to the Ministry of Truth. There are the best writers out there, who can easily say black as white and bad as good, who have the most beautiful adjectives in their heads, and whose legends of heroes flow through their pen. Under their assumptions, I, the featureless me, had the temperament of a hero before I became a hero, for example, when I was born the clouds on the horizon were purple. I told the writers some basic information, and then I went to the video recording studio, which was full of beautiful girls, and they asked me to pose, it must be the kind of posture that makes people scream when they see it, I couldn't do anything at first, and the third-class people have low self-esteem in their bones. I've been fiddling with it for a long time, but it still hasn't worked. The girls finally came up with a trick, and a short girl took off her clothes, and she lay flat on the ground for me to admire. My eyes straightened, and my whole body erupted with a terrifying momentum, and I couldn't wait to correct this woman on the spot immediately. It was with this temptation that I finished the first day of recording. That night, I was horny, but unfortunately, there really was no redcoat pavilion in the capital.

It was probably the busiest few days of my life, so busy that I forgot my twentieth birthday. In my hometown, there is a special saying about the arrival of the twenty-year-old, and that is the time to get married. And parents usually host a banquet when their children are 20 years old, inviting friends and family to attend. When the banquet is halfway through, parents will borrow money from relatives and friends, which is used for their children to marry, and relatives and friends will generally borrow three melons and two dates. So, in my hometown, the 20th birthday party is also called the wife borrowing seat. But now, I'm 20 years old, but I don't have parents, no friends, and no wife. But that's okay, I'll have these soon.

As I imagined, the empire shook because of me, and the Church of God shook because of me. The Pope has decided to hold a grand celebration for me, which is more of a battle than a celebration, and the major forces within the Cult want to win me over, and the Pope needs to give these forces a chance. I have certain expectations for this banquet, because I want to verify the correctness of "Self-cultivation of First-Class People". I spent some time studying this first-class crash book, and the key to it is slowness, and first-class people are slow or elegant at all times. The third-class people are always impatient, because they are so busy surviving that they have to be fast and faster. The second-class people are also busy, they are busy with how to talk to the first-class people, although they can occasionally relax for a while, but they are tired. There are only first-class people who can roam leisurely at any time, because they have the power to keep others busy.

I met Evia at that banquet, but she apparently didn't see me. The crowd of indecisive people at the banquet clinked glasses to me, some hinting and some explicitly, mostly talking about the benefits of joining their forces, and they did not dare to coerce me. I followed Xu Hao's instructions and said with a smile that I would consider it, which was the most inferior but effective rhetoric.

When Evia appeared, the audience was moved, first of all her beauty, then her father's status, and finally the book "Obligation to God" that she had just written. There is no such thing as a hereditary religion, and if you want to gain a higher status within the religion, you must make greater contributions. Evia's book seems to be very ordinary, but it is very conducive to the rule of the Cult, and the great effect is not obvious but subtle.

Xu Hao said that Evia is a cold beauty, her life will be dedicated to God, and she is extremely stupid. I don't know what Xu Hao means by saying this, Xu Hao seems to be a person who knows everything, but what he says is always mysterious, maybe it has something to do with him rebelling against the Divine Cult. At the end of the banquet, Xu Hao suddenly said to me that if anyone could change Evia, that guy might be the only one. Of course, the guy Xu Hao was referring to was Mu Tou, Xu Hao seemed to like to call Mu Tou by that guy, and I became more and more curious about this person. Sometimes, curiosity really kills cats, and if it weren't for my curiosity, maybe my life would be boring.

I thought that after becoming a Divine Craftsman, I would have a chance to make a difference, but the Empire doesn't seem to value card crafting, and my existence is only because my appearance proves the glorious greatness of the Cult. Nobody cares how amazing the cards I can make, no one cares how powerful my cards are, they just care about the fact that I'm a craftsman.

The Ministry of Truth asked me to make a video recording once a week, mostly of conversations, in which a moderator asked me idiotic questions and I answered them in a pretended profoundness. There are many buyers of the video cards recorded in this way, and I contribute a lot of money to the Empire and the Cult. As I appeared more often, my reputation on the continent grew, but nothing more, what I really wanted to be cared for was never cared about.

"Mr. Fan, as we all know, cards have terrifying powers, can you assume for us what level of power do you think will be used in the next large-scale war with heretics?" Again, the host asked the idiot question.

I coughed twice, and then said wittily, "I don't know what level of force will be used in the next war, but I know that the next time I will definitely use sticks and stones." ”

The host said: "Thank you for the humor and wisdom of the craftsman, ladies and gentlemen, this is the end of this episode." ”

After the show, I was able to get an astronomical amount of money, but it was of little use. Money can't buy anything, it's power that can really buy things. After recording the show, I hurried home, there is a special thing waiting for me to deal with today, because a few days ago I entrusted Xu Hao to help me find 451, and today she came.
