Chapter 32: The Miracle of Time
The rain has not stopped, but the sound is still there.
But inside the church, it gradually fell silent.
After no more talking, no more thought, they all got up from the rows of benches and came to the open space in front of the podium.
When everyone was on their feet, Mrs. Morgan and Mr. Dimon stepped up to the podium.
Mr. Dimon stood in the center, and Mrs. Morgan stepped aside and handed Mr. Dimon the roster.
Then Mr. Dumont unfolded the roster and began to read the names of everyone in the audience in order.
"Buckis TOEFL."
"Yes."
"Carl Assas"
"Yes."
"Christopher Barker."
"Yes."
……
This is a roll call, to confirm that the members are here tonight.
Su Xian's heart moved, and he compared Mark's memory to remember some people who even Mark had only heard of but had never met.
Maxin worked hard to study the identification of antiquities, just to rely on the power of these people, but he didn't expect that there were twenty of them standing here tonight.
If these people have three longs and two shorts, the city of Brut will not say that there will be a major earthquake.
After a few minutes, the roll call ended.
Mr. Dimon closed the roster and said in a deep voice, "There are twenty people in all, including me. I guess since you've all accepted the invitation, you all know what you're doing, right? ”
His voice was hoarse and unpleasant, and the corners of his mouth seemed to leak from the wind, mixed with the hissing sound of a lizard's exhalation.
Mr. Barkis Tofford, an old but energetic explorer, leaned on his crutches, propped up his waist, and said in a rather strong voice: "Do you know how terrible the decay of time is, Mr. Dimont? ”
"Of course I do." Mr. Dumont grinned and sneered, "We're not young anymore. ”
Mrs. Green suddenly spoke up: "But God will give us the pleasure of going back against time!" ”
Unfooled by these two simple words, Barkis narrowed his eyes, even though he was old, there was still a look in his eyes: "We need to see it with our own eyes." ”
As if he had expected it, Mr. Dumont said calmly: "Believe me, I will prove it to you, but later." Do you have any questions? ”
He turned his head to make a look, his face obscured by the shadow of his hat showing a little.
Carl Assas, the owner of the toy company, spoke: "I have the same doubts as Mr. Buckis Tofford, but beyond that, I want to know your true identity, Mr. Dumont. This will determine how much I trust what you say. Everyone in the industry knows that I have a special set of people's skills. ”
"Okay, okay." Mr. Dimon raised his hands and pressed them down, "That's not a problem. I'll let you know in a moment. Do you have any other questions? ”
Professor Christopher Barker suddenly came out and said, "Mr. Dimon, I am not interested in either of them, can you tell me the name of the God that you proclaim to us?" You know, I'm an archaeologist, I'm a historian, I'm an antiquarian, and I know a little bit about the gods in history. I think if you tell me the name of that God, my faith will be stronger and more religious. ”
Professor Barker's question is clearly sharper than that of the explorer and the owner of the toy company.
Mr. Dumont was silent for about half a minute before he suddenly exhaled, then grabbed the brim of his hat and lifted the hood all the way up.
The action was a little abrupt, but it managed to attract everyone's attention.
His true colors were also revealed at this moment.
"Earl Morgan?"
"I should have guessed the ......"
"Since it's Earl Morgan, then ......"
……
Everyone was shocked and discussed, but most of them were obviously relieved, as if "Earl Morgan" represented "convincing".
The explorer Barkis was even more excited: "Earl Morgan! Oh my God, I can't believe it! You're still alive. If I remember correctly, you're one hundred and three years old, right? Two years ago, I suddenly didn't hear from you, I thought, I thought it was ......"
Dimon, also known as Earl Morgan, calmly waved his hand and said, "Don't be surprised, Bakis, believe me, you can be like me." But after that, please still call me Dimon. ”
At this time, many people suddenly realized that Earl Morgan was a dying old man who was one hundred and three years old!
But the Monsieur Dimon standing before them, though he had the countenance of the Earl of Morgan, was as he was in his sixty or seventy years of age, and he did not see the air of death at all.
One hundred and three years old, it is an age that ordinary people in the Kingdom of Longne would not even dare to imagine, which even means that Earl Morgan was born in the early days of the founding of the Kingdom of Longne, and the gods have just died in the era of ruins.
Three years ago, when Earl Morgan celebrated his 100th birthday, even the king of the Kingdom of Longne went to pay his respects, and the news not only made the headlines of all the newspapers in the entire Kingdom of Longne, but also was reported by newspapers in several other neighboring countries.
But soon after his 100th birthday, Earl Morgan disappeared from everyone's sight in the name of "seclusion", but he did not expect that he would come to this chaotic city of Brut!
What's even more incredible is that he really turned his time back into the current and returned to his sixty-year-old appearance!
Faced with this phenomenon, even Su Xian in the middle layer was very shocked, but he touched the time rune in his arms, but he felt that something was wrong.
……
Below, Mr. Dumont, Earl of Morgan, put his hood back on, and still asked the owner of the toy company in a hoarse voice: "Carl Assas, do you think I feel trusted?" ”
Karl, who was a little too obese, bent down and saluted very respectfully: "Of course, you are the most trustworthy earl. ”
Earl Morgan's reputation in the Kingdom of Long was indeed excellent, and the explorer Bakith even received his patronage when he was younger.
Mr. Dimon was so pleased with Carl's answer that he turned to Professor Buck and said, "Professor Christopher Barker, as for your question, even if you don't ask, I'll announce it later." After all, how can you pray to God if you don't even know who the god you need to believe in? ”
"Monsieur Dumont is really humorous."
Karl licked it in a blink of an eye.
But Professor Buck did not change his mind because of this, and he insisted: "Please Mr. Dimont make it clear." ”
Mr. Dumont nodded slightly, then raised his left hand to cover his heart, then raised his right hand so that his index and middle fingers were brought together, and drew a circle on his chest, then a second circle, and finally a regular triangle in two concentric circles.
After that, he lowered his head and said in a pious voice: "The god I believe in is the miracle of time, the master of space, and the holy lord of destiny...... We cannot call God by name, but we can know where He is by describing His authority. ”
