Chapter 724: The Kingdom of Heaven
Because of the intensive outbreak of various problems in the west during this time, it led to the suspension of the meeting of the Earth God Cult for two periods, and the new mayor of Vanlier City is said to be on the way, and the meeting of the Earth God Cult is about to start again. It was not Angela, who had been temporarily restricted by him, who informed Durin of the news, nor the Shinto priest, but Henry.
Henry seems to be a little marginal in his career, but he definitely compares with Kevin in eating, drinking and having fun, and just after resolving the misunderstanding, Henry talked about it with a smile.
"Do you know, the Earth God Sect is going to hold a meeting this time, which is said to be the largest gathering this year, because the last two meetings were not held, so I want to make up for all the sect members, do you want to come and attend?"
Looking at Henry's mysterious expression, Du Lin was also a little curious about the Earth God Cult, such a huge religion with an unknown purpose was hidden in the west, could the empire not know about it? If the empire knew why it wanted to indulge the Earth God Cult to continue to develop, if it didn't know what kind of power could make all the participants keep their mouths shut? You must know that there are always some people in this world who sell other people's interests for their own interests, and Du Lin believes that not everyone who is invited will like the Soil God Cult, so why don't the people who hate the Earth God Sect tell the truth?
This is a very strange thing, because the local influence of the Church of the Earth God is huge, whether it is ordinary people, capitalists or government officials, they may be involved. In the future, if he wants to continue to develop his business in the west, he will inevitably have to deal with the Earth God Sect. Last time, Durin forgot to ask Henry about the Soil God Cult because there were too many things, and just as he got up, Durin asked by the way.
Henry's knowledge of the Cult of the Earth God is very fragmented, there is no specific set of things, in Henry's description, the Cult of the Earth God has existed for at least fifty years, and he has not heard any negative news and deeds until now. Everyone gets together every month for two or three days to eat, drink and be merry, and there is no need to bear any expenses, and many people are happy to become members of the Earth God Cult. They don't ask for any money, they don't ask their congregants to help them with anything, they even allow more than one religion, which is a miracle in the religious world.
Other religions, such as the Church of the Lord of Heaven of the Ogdings, the sons and daughters of the old man of God, cry out every day to purge the infidels and spread the glorious gospel of the Lord to the earth. Even the gods believed in by the Gualts told the Gualts to destroy all the false gods and purify the followers of the false gods, so that only then could the gods come to this world.
No matter what religion is, there is a distinct characteristic, that is, it is exclusive, and anything that is not self must be something bad, something wrong. But the Earth God Cult does not, this religion with the full name of "Mother Earth God's Seat" looks like a playground for the rich, you don't need to pay any tickets to play in it, and you can get to know more powerful people, is there really such a good thing in this world?
Obviously, it is impossible, and all actions must have a clear purpose, which is what Dühring has felt for "so many years". The fact that they are able to sustain such a large consumption is a sign that they have an even greater source of income.
Durin was very interested and wanted to take a look and see what this Earth God Cult was up to.
At this time, it is the first weekend of May, and next Wednesday, that is, four days later, the meeting of the Earth God Cult will begin, and all invitees must arrive at the meeting place by 2 o'clock in the afternoon, after which the gate will be closed and everyone will be denied entry.
Now that Durin had arranged most of the things, he needed to be honest for a while, so that the three days passed very, very quickly. There is nothing else to do every day except to sleep and eat, occasionally go around, and enjoy the joy of local tyrant shopping.
By the morning of the fourth day, Angela was released.
"Today is the meeting day of the Earth God Cult, I plan to go and see, you go with me. Durin simply gave a command, and asked Dove to take Angela to pick out clothes. Although the west is backward in all respects, there are still many commercial centers in these "periphery" cities near the central and southern regions. The abundance of miners in the west attracted a large number of merchants to come here with their laudable goods to earn more money, and the miners did not mind spending a little money in the face of a small number of picks, which made the commercial center of the city of Fanlier very developed, even less than that of the developed cities on the east coast and south.
It didn't take long for Angela to change into a very fashionable and bold summer trendy dress, the fully open back design made the whole dress like a red handkerchief, with a hole torn diagonally, one side around the neck, the other around the waist. Such a dress that does not show any artistic atmosphere, is full of decadence, vulgarity and ugliness, and a short black skirt that may not be enough fabric and a little short, plus a pair of Gauguin shoes, cost a total of 170 yuan, no wonder people say that the money of the rich is easy to make, and the money of the rich woman is more profitable.
In a very ordinary car, under the guidance of Angela, he drove towards the place where the Earth God Cult was meeting.
In fact, Du Lin did this because he also wanted to bring the people who were spying on him to that place, whether they knew that there was such a thing as the Earth God Sect or not, now that they all knew about it, then as long as they saw whether they did anything or not, they could guess what the Earth God Sect was.
The place where the Cult of the Earth God meets is in the Yamaldo Mountains, which is not far from the Wagra Mountains, and both belong to the territory of the Cult. The mountain is about three hours away from Van Lir, and after entering the mountain, there is a very wide lane that leads to the meeting place halfway up the mountain, where the Cult of the Gods of Religion likes to dig holes, and according to Angela, some of the altars of the Cult of the Cult of the Religion of Religion that she knows of are in the mountains, and they are all halfway up the mountain.
There was no word all the way, and when the car slowly drove into the parking lot and got out of the car, Durin looked at the cars parked around him and felt a slight shock in his heart. He didn't know how many cars were parked here, this was a mountain, densely packed with all kinds of luxury cars, there should be hundreds. Seeing so many cars, Durin became more and more looking forward to this gathering of the Earth God Cult.
The group was guided through a corridor by a cultist, then stepped on an upward conveyor belt, and moved on the conveyor belt for about five minutes to come to a very luxurious door. The door looked as if it was made of gold, with totems carved into the panel that he didn't recognize, and inlaid with a large number of precious stones. If this gate is really made of gold, the wealth possessed by the Earth God Cult is definitely a staggering number.
He was the robber who snatched 30 million worth of gold from the bank, and that pile of gold bricks might only be as many as this half door!
After passing through this door, everything that entered the eye was completely different from what I had seen on the road before, as if it had returned from the age of barbarism to the age of civilization, with luxurious decorations, spacious venues, and beautiful decorations, making this place look like a royal palace.
"This place is divided into eight areas......", Angela whispered everything here for Durin, her expression was a little complicated, just now a girl was about to lean over and was forced back by Angela's eyes, she is actually a little confused now, especially when she sees everything here again.
Durin is a very honest person, he did send someone to find Angela's family, from Angela's limited clues and a city name, Durin's people eventually found Angela's family, but these families seem to be a little different from Angela's imagination, because they are not Angela's family. According to the family, they did have a girl at one time, and it was true that she was lost. But they have found their lost daughter, and there is no second lost daughter.
Durin invited the family over to meet Angela, who turned away without saying a word with a look of fear in the family's strange look. If you think about it, you must be afraid, a good family living happily in the city, and suddenly being sent to the west in the form of a group of people in the form of semi-kidnapping, can you not be afraid? Fortunately, they went back at last, and thanked Durin for not hurting them.
The Cult of the Earth God has compiled one lie after another to deceive these young believers, making it impossible to know which of their words is true, and even Angela suspects that some of the photos of the believers she has seen with their families after completing their missions are also fake!
She didn't know who to believe or what to do, she was like a child abandoned by the world, and the only thing she could have was loneliness and hatred.
Angela, who came back to her senses in a flash, continued to introduce everything to Doolin, "Each of the eight areas has different ways of entertainment, such as this place, which is called the Kingdom of Heaven. It's got the best food, the best music, the best setting, everyone is well-mannered, and it's the best place to socialize. Many people like to make new friends here, and everyone who can participate in such a party must have a different status in some way. ”
In addition, there are also areas with special names such as the Sinking Valley, the Valley of Tears, etc., such as the Sinking Valley, which is a place to release human nature, and the whole area is very dark, unlike here, which is very wide, where there are rows of dark and soundproof houses. All the guests can go in and make their own requests, and as long as the Cult can satisfy them, they will do their best. Of course, there is also a reservation service between the sunks, and it is not clear how to book Angela, there is a dedicated person in charge there.
