Chapter 39: A Friend Comes from Far Away
When the red pillar of light that had brought the divine grace disappeared and the mood of the people calmed down, everyone in the main hall of the Holy Hammer Chapel looked to the center of the main hall to see who was the first person to receive the favor of the God of Forging in more than three hundred years.
The Pope had wiped the tears from his face, and he said to the place where the first pillar of light had fallen: "Please come to the altar of this brother." ”
A man in a cloak and hood stood up from his seat and walked slowly towards the altar.
The Pope said to those who came to the stage: "Tell your brothers the story of yourself and God. ”
The Pope didn't care if the man was wearing a cloak and a hood and refused to show his true face, they were all in contact with hot things like fire and molten iron all day long, and no one left some burns on his body. Some people are even burned and disfigured on their faces just like someone who is checked, and it would be very emotional to force them to show their faces.
When the man walked up to the altar and came to the Pope, he bowed to the Pope, and then he took off his cloak and revealed his true face.
After seeing the true face of this person, the movement in the main hall was no less than when the divine grace was sent down just now.
The man was a ridiculously handsome young man, dressed in a golden and fiery Dalmatica, with two sleeves embroidered only slightly less than the Pope on the side.
Most importantly, he had a pair of horns on either side of his head that were circled like argali.
"Demons!" the Pope raised the golden hammer in his hand, ready to smash it at the door of the other's head.
The armoured Templar guards immediately surrounded the altar with sledgehammers.
The believers in the main hall also had weapons in their hands, waiting for the Pope to give an order, and then went up together to hammer each other into dumpling fillings.
The demon clan who was under siege did not look nervous at all, he owed to the Pope and the believers respectively, and said: "Alexey, head of the Cardinal Order of the Temple of Harvest and Forge, would like to extend his sincerest greetings to His Majesty Pope Dagger Bryant and all brothers and sisters who believe in the same god. ”
Then the Pope was confused, the car turned so sharply that he would not be able to figure out the current situation for a while. Although half of the ornaments and coats of arms on the Dalmatika you are wearing are deeply related to the one on your body at a glance, and the divine power belonging to the god of forging on your body is exactly the same as your own, but you are a demon, a demon who has been fighting with us for thousands of years.
Just like Voldemort said to Harry Potter, "The poor monk came from the Eastern Tang Dynasty and went to the West to worship the Buddha and learn scriptures", although you are also bald, what you did before and what you are doing now are not in line with each other. Are you going to Lingshan or to Highgate Cemetery?
Alexei smiled and said to the Pope: "Your Majesty, can I tell you about the cause and effect of this incident?"
The Pope looked Alexei up and down, and then said, "In the name of the God of Forging, I give you a chance." If you're up to some kind of machination, watch out for the hammer in my hand!"
Although the other party is a demon, the divine power on his body is not fake, and the divine grace sent down by the god of forging just now is not fake, it is exactly the same as the divine power contained in the Holy Hammer Church, so the Pope gave the other party a chance.
Alexei, after thanking the Pope, turned to face the large number of believers under the altar.
He said, "More than three hundred days ago, Philip came from the East and brought us the teachings of the Temple of Harvest and the Temple of Forging and Healing. Since then, the Temple of Harvest and the Temple of Forging have taken root in our homeland and have thrived. ”
The believers in the main hall grew up listening to the stories of the great sage Philip, but what he did when he was an undercover agent in the demon territory was unknown to everyone. Experts and scholars on the human side who rely on him to feed have made all kinds of speculations, ranging from the version that is not suitable for children to the one that is not suitable for parents. But no one would have thought that he would be able to preach among the demons who are almost all unbelievers.
The Pope next to Alexei breathed a sigh of relief, if this kind of thing was the one, it might really work.
Alexei on the altar told how the people of the demon clan had been under the guidance of God and under the leadership of the temple for three hundred years, after three hundred years of hard work, they finally let the poor and backward demon people in the west of the continent no longer eat grass to satisfy their hunger, but to eat a full meal, so that thousands of families are no longer so poor that they only have a pair of pants at home, and whoever goes out can wear them.
Finally, Alexei said with a reverent face: "Not long ago, God sent an oracle instructing us to come here and send our sincerest greetings to our brothers. ”
The Pope's eyes were red when he heard this, pure jealousy. For more than 300 years, the God of Forging ignored the headquarters, and turned out to go to the west to open a sub-base.
O oracle, that is the highest glory that God has bestowed, and what a rare and precious thing it is to listen to God's own teachings.
There hasn't been a divine grace here for hundreds of years, but even an oracle has come over there, can you not be jealous?
So the Pope said to Alexei: "Can we send someone to you and listen to the teachings of God?" ”
"No problem. Alexei replied, "Although we are of different races and live in different places, we are all a family under the care of the same god, and we welcome brothers and sisters to come and move around." ”
The Pope turned his head to look at St. Brigitte and his brother Locke, and after nodding their heads, he said to Alexei, "St. Brigitte and Cardinal Locke Bryant will visit at the right time." On behalf of the Forge Temple, I invite you to visit and guide our work in the Forge Sanctuary in the coming days. ”
Alexei gladly accepted the Pope's invitation.
The conversation between the Pope and Alexei did not hide from everyone in the hall, and after listening to the conversation between the two, they were all dumbfounded, and they did not know what to do with their expressions.
What is this? The beginning of the end of the East-West hot war?
Then Alexei raised his hand, and a bookshelf two meters wide and two meters high appeared behind him.
He told the Pope: "These books are a small achievement of ours, and I beg my brothers and sisters to point out the mistakes in them." ”
What happened during this year's Great Prayer Ceremony at the Forge Temple blew the continent to pieces.
The believers who participated in the ceremony came from all over the continent, and they brought the news that the God of Forging had opened a branch base in the west to every land on the continent.
The fact that the Harvest God was also opening a base over there was inadvertently ignored by them, because the Harvest Temple had declined, and after they could not use divine magic to increase the production of food, there would be fewer people who believed in Him.
Outside the gate of the Holy Hammer Temple, Mama St. Angel and Mama Catherine, and other priests of the various temples immediately reached a consensus, and Mama St. Angel came forward to invite Alexei to have tea and chat with him tomorrow.
The kings were also the first to receive the news, and they heard something else from Alexei's speech.
"The demons are so poor that they eat grass, they can't even get their pants together, and they won't be able to fight in the future. ”
Brigitte, the Holy Maiden of the Forge Temple, rushed back to the meeting as soon as she took Alexei to the VIP building and arranged accommodation.
The diplomatic affairs of the temple are in the hands of the Holy Maiden, and she has to be busy next.
After checking the room, Alexei slammed himself on the bed and breathed a deep sigh of relief. He was not nervous about today's meeting, it was fake, and he was visiting this time with a certain heart of death.
"Did the divination go wrong?" Alexei said to himself, "and she said that my operation was extremely difficult, and that I would die for the rest of my life." So far, except for the fact that he almost revealed his identity when he first entered the hall, there is no danger. ”
He didn't know that he should have been knocked into the demon identity at the church gate before the night ceremony began, causing him to be seriously injured and flee by a group of guests before he could show his part, and he didn't run two steps before he was picked up by a man in a suit who was visiting the exhibition with two wolves and a pair of sisters. Now the person who should have broken his identity is still locked up in the dungeon of Avalon, and the wolf who took the man's head has long since become a dry bone on the side of the road.
