At dawn, Father Paul was already standing on the bell tower of the church, and although he was nearly eighty years old, Father Paul was still in good health. As Father Paul pulled the rope in his hand, the large bronze bell of the church also made a "knock" sound, and the townspeople of Aran began their day with the familiar sound of the bell.www.biquge.info

Because the bell rang, Quasimodo, the bell-ringer of the church, hurriedly ran up from the hut under the bell tower: "Father Paul, you are old, didn't you say that you will let me do the bell ringing in the future?" ”

"Haha, get used to it, I'm used to it, I can't change it." Seeing Quasimodo appear, Father Paul also put down the rope in his hand, with an expression of "Anyway, I've already knocked on what you do with me", "It's been more than 50 years, and I still can't adapt to the sudden non-mere need to ring the first bell every day." ”

In order to get to the bell tower before Quasimodo, Father Paul went out before dawn with the secret key. For more than 50 years, he has been ringing the bell to wake up the town of Arran, and some things have become habits that are difficult to change.

"Father Paul, I beg you to go back quickly. If Eliza found out that you were not sleeping in the bedroom, but had come to me and rang the bell, she would have to kill me. ”

Quasimodo looked pleadingly at Father Paul, who looked more and more like a child as he got older. Even though he has reached the age of retirement, he still works in the church.

"No need Quasimodo, your bonus this month has been halved." A girl dressed as a nun had appeared at the top of the stairs of the bell tower.

However, in Quasimodo's eyes, the girl in front of him was not a nun at all, but a standard demon! I don't have my bonus this month, obviously today is the last day of this month, why does God treat myself like this.

"Ahh

"What kind of scenery is so beautiful, grandpa, let you slip out of the room before dawn?" Elizapi looked at her grandfather with a smile, "It's only at what time, and there are still five minutes left before the usual bell ringing time!" Quasimodo is an absolute observance of time, who else do you say will ring the bell at this time? ”

"Angel, it was an angel who rang the bell just now." Father Paul looked at his granddaughter with a serious face: "Every year today, the angel of time under the throne of the god of light comes to the town of Aran and rings the bronze bell on this bell tower. That's why I got up so early today to see this sacred scene, yes. ”

Father Paul suddenly felt that he had a talent for making up nonsense, a reason that even he himself had believed, and that Eliza would never have done anything to herself.

"Grandpa, do you think I'll believe it?"

Eliza looked at her grandfather speechlessly, such a nonsense reason is estimated that only her grandfather can make it up, and the God of Light has not sent down miracles for many years.

"I'm sure Eliza will definitely believe Grandpa, right?"

Seeing that Eliza didn't believe his words, Father Paul could only launch a family offensive, and if the family offensive did not work, he was really cornered.

"Forget it, don't make an example, grandpa." Looking at his grandfather, Eliza couldn't be angry, "Breakfast is ready, let's go down and have breakfast." ”

With that, Eliza walked down the bell tower first, and Father Paul consciously followed, leaving Quasimodo standing in the wind. Father Paul rang the bell without being punished, and Eliza found her grandfather, who seemed to be the only one who was really unlucky.

"My bonus this month!"

Quasimodo left tears of remorse as he tugged on the rope that pulled the hammer. The townsfolk who heard the second bell all smiled slightly, and they instantly understood that this was the case, and it was definitely Father Paul who got up early to ring the bell for everyone.

――――Bell Ringer――――

Since today is a weekly day of prayer, the first thing many townspeople in Aran Town do when they wake up is to go to Paul's Cathedral for half an hour of prayer, and all the doors of Paul's Cathedral have been opened very early.

Although compared with the large cities of the Empire, the town of Aran on the outskirts of the Rand Grassland is very inconspicuous, but there is the second largest church in the entire Balk Empire - Paul's Cathedral, and the largest church is naturally St. Buck's Cathedral in St. Buck's City, the capital of the empire.

At this moment, Father Paul, who had finished breakfast, was standing in front of the bulletin stand in a white gold-rimmed priest's robe, and the seat in front of him was already sparsely populated with a dozen townspeople who had risen early to pray. And Eliza, dressed as a nun, is standing quietly behind her grandfather, and it is naturally impossible for a Paul's Cathedral to have only Paul and Eliza, but the rest of the people are busy preparing for other things.

Looking at these familiar faces, Father Paul slowly opened the Bible he had brought with him. The Bible has been used so often that even the black leather cover has begun to turn white. However, Father Paul had no intention of changing it, and this Bible has been with him since he became a trainee priest, and it contains too many memories of his youth.

As Father Paul opened the Bible, pure white light began to emanate from him. Gradually, the entire hall of the church was enveloped in this pure white light, and the faces of the townspeople who came to worship showed pious smiles.

Today, the doors of Paul's Cathedral are always open, and every townsman who has to worship can enter at any time. Seeing the white light emanating from the church door, all the townspeople who were going to worship quickened their pace, knowing that Father Paul had already started today's sermon.

The empty seats in front of Father Paul were rapidly decreasing, but the whole church remained quiet. Everyone who entered the church tried to lighten their steps as much as possible, and those who had no place because they were late also stood there silently and began their prayers.

At this time, the ** Brave Wild Bear suddenly broke in with a few gangster mercenaries, "What about the priest here, get out of here!" ”

Wild Bear, who was still a little dizzy this morning, planned to go to a few shops to get some pocket money, but unexpectedly all the shops were not open. Before he could fully sober up, he casually grabbed a passing townsman, and after learning from that person that all the shopkeepers were worshipping here, the angry Wild Bear rushed directly with a few of his thug mercenaries. Although the thug mercenaries were very reluctant, they still followed under the pressure of the wild bear.

Wild Bear thought that when he appeared, the townsfolk would cry out in fear, and what he enjoyed most was the fear of others. But alas, no one paid any attention to him at all. Every townsfolk prayed earnestly, and the wild bear's anger could not affect them at all.

"You untouchables, dare to ignore the existence of my wild bear, damn it!" Realizing that he was being ignored, the wild bear became directly angry, and a giant axe suddenly appeared in his hand, and he slashed directly at the nearest civilian with the giant axe.

Father Paul, who had been looking at the Bible, suddenly raised his head, Paul Cathedral has been established for so many years, and the wild bear is still the first brave person who dares to make trouble here. If it weren't for the important things that Paul Cathedral was preparing recently, this guy probably wouldn't even be able to get through the church door.

"God says, 'Killing' is forbidden!"

A white barrier suddenly appeared in front of the wild bear, and his giant axe was directly blocked with great ease. At this time, the wild bear woke up with the last bit of alcohol. He seems to be in trouble, and Baron Merton told them not to provoke Paul's Cathedral! But now that he can't save his face by escaping, the wild bear can only choose to hold on.

At this moment, Mother Eliza suddenly appeared in front of the wild bear. Before the bear could react, a giant sword taller than a man appeared in Eliza's hand. I saw that with a slight swing of the giant sword, the giant axe in the wild bear's hand was broken into two.

The wild bear, whose weapon had been cut off, didn't dare to hold on any longer, and without any hesitation, he turned around and rushed out as fast as he could, ignoring the stunned mercenary subordinates. The thug mercenaries who saw the boss fleeing did not hesitate and followed directly, Paul Cathedral is really not something they can afford to provoke!

The appearance of the wild bear was only a small episode, and as the service at Paul's Cathedral continued, Eliza stood behind Father Paul again. The nun is just a side hustle for her, and if it weren't for the school holidays, she would still be studying at the Imperial Warrior Academy.
