Chapter 239: The Mystery of the Church
"Not enough room?"
Hearing this, Xia Nuo glanced at the somewhat dilapidated staircase, which was dimly lit, and it really didn't look like there were many rooms, but after thinking about it, he still said politely: "Are there ten empty rooms?" We don't need one room, we can barely make up for one night. β
"Ten? That didn't either. The fat man sat back again, and replied while flipping through the book, "If it were normal times, I wouldn't dare to rent it to you today, and who knows how many people the church will bring down this time." β
"The church?" Everyone looked at each other, it was not the first time they had heard this word, and even Kidd, who was more nervous, noticed this at this time, and couldn't help frowning.
"Is there really no way to make do with it?" Xia Nuo asked again, this time the fat man didn't even bother to answer, just waved his hand, meaning that it was absolutely impossible, let them leave quickly.
"Forget it, let's get out first." Xia Nuo said helplessly, and then led everyone back to the alley in front of the hotel.
"What should I do now?" Kidd said with some dissatisfaction, in his opinion, Xia Nuo was too polite, and he was the leader who had already picked up the fat man and forcibly moved in, "There are so many of us, we can't sleep on the street." β
"There's always a way."
Xia Nuo glanced at him and smiled slightly, this kid was obviously complaining about himself because he smoked him just now, but it was normal, this kind of half-sized imp was actually the most face-saving.
But it's really a bit difficult to do at the moment, if he is alone, it will be easy to solve, just find someone to spend the night, but if it is the entire Wind Pirates, it is obviously impossible, this town is not big, how can anyone live more than forty people?
Looking at the towering church in the distance, Xia Nuo groaned again, from the moment he stepped on the land of this island, he clearly felt that the people on this island were a little xenophobic, and the atmosphere was faintly not too friendly, and all of this seemed to be inseparable from the god and religion.
While pondering, the dark church suddenly lit up with a little white light, and then the entire nearby street was lit up with brilliant lights, as if it were day, and faintly, there was an ancient and mysterious chanting in the ears.
Although Xia Nuo and the others were in the alley, they were still subconsciously squinted by the sudden light, and after they eased up, everyone was shocked to find that on the originally quiet and quiet street, there were a bunch of people out of nowhere, one by one, dragging children and daughters, it seemed that they were nearby merchants and residents, looking in a hurry, trotting all the way to the direction of the church in the center of the town.
Looking at the appearance of the teacher in front of him, everyone was a little confused, "What's the matter......
Rose reacted quickly, he stood outside, just close to the street, casually pulled a middle-aged man with a bearded face, and asked kindly: "Excuse me, can I ask you what you are doing here?" β
"Huh?"
The middle-aged man was obviously a little angry after being stopped, even if he saw that there were many people behind Rose, he was still very impatient, and dropped a sentence, "What else can you do?" The Cult of God sent people down, of course to greet them! Then he slammed Rose's arm away, and hurried into the flow of people again.
Cult of God?
So what people from the Vulcan Church came to this town?
Immediately, all eyes converged on Xia Nuo's face, and the latter did not hesitate, after scanning the nearby crowd, he made a decisive decision: "Go, follow and have a look!" β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Ten minutes later, in front of the church.
Under the majestic milky white building, a pure white carpet stretched from a distance, and on both sides of the carpet were densely kneeling many people, men, women, and children, and it was estimated that almost all the inhabitants of the town were here.
When Xia Nuo and the others arrived, there were already figures at the end of the carpet in the distance, but the lights were bright, and they couldn't see it very clearly, so they could only roughly judge that there were about twenty or thirty people, and they were slowly moving around a silver-white luxurious carriage.
"Hey, what are you outsiders doing!"
When everyone was watching with great interest, an angry shout suddenly sounded from the side, and when they turned their heads, they saw a white-haired old man kneeling next to the carpet glaring at them with anger on his face, "Your Excellency Bishop is about to arrive, and you dare to stand there?" β
"There's no stool, don't you squat?" Kidd immediately rolled his eyes and replied: "Who are you, you kneel and kneel yourself, and come to ask others, you have a big face, I want to give you face?" β
As soon as they heard this, Xia Nuo and the others couldn't help but laugh out loud, this little ghost is really a natural bar spirit, and there are few people who can compare to him in terms of combat effectiveness.
"Mixed ...... Bastard little ......"
The white-haired old man trembled with anger, pointing at Kidd and was just about to reprimand, but Yu Guang suddenly noticed that the Cult team in the distance of the carpet was getting closer and closer, so he had to suppress the anger and lay down tremblingly.
Kidd didn't notice this, thinking that the old man couldn't give in to his argument, and couldn't help but cross his waist triumphantly while the rest turned their attention back to the line that came along the pure white carpet.
As they got closer, they realized that the people around the carriage were all dressed in robesβmostly pure white, and a few were black.
The collar and cuffs of the robe were embroidered with small red flames, swaying slightly in the light of the light, like a living thing.
The silver-white carriage finally stopped by the fountain in front of the church, and a tall man shrouded in dark red robes got out of the carriage and stepped onto the cobblestone path, and then slowly walked down the steps to the church under the reverent gaze of many white-robed people and the reverent eyes of many residents.
"It's a big stance." Hundreds of meters away, Kidd folded his arms around his chest and snorted disdainfully.
"It's a big shelf." Kira next to him didn't reply to his brother for a long time, but nodded slightly according to his words: "I can actually let the people of the entire town come out in the middle of the night to greet him, it seems that this so-called Vulcan Sect has a lot of power on this island, if it is a country, it is almost the same if it is not a state religion." β
Everyone agreed with this, and chatted casually for a while, until the cardinal had already led the team up the steps in front of the church, as if
When there was nothing to see, they turned around and prepared to leave here along the way they came.
However, at this moment, a very low sobbing sound suddenly came from the alley next to it.
Xia Nuo and the others subconsciously followed the sound, but saw several little girls in white robes who were stumbling and being driven impatiently by several black-robed adults, walking in the direction of the church.
Several little girls looked like they were only six or seven years old, with tears on their faces, and the most important thing was that everyone was stunned to find that the girl at the end was Xiao Thea, who had been dragged home by her adoptive mother before!
