Chapter 11 The Divine Messenger is Brilliant
Knowing Yunston, a thief hidden in the church, Lu Chen had an idea, and deliberately asked the background of the other priests around him.
I don't know if I don't ask, but I'm shocked when I ask!
The black-clothed priests sitting around Lu Chen all looked solemn and dignified, but in fact, they all had three sects and nine ranks......
There was a priest named Lorenga who was a wolf hunter in the forest, a priest named Clem who was a tax collector who collected rents, and a priest named Odegard who was a pig butcher......
Now, of course, they have all been converted to the Holy Spirit, and they are considered to be the priests of the Holy Church.
After Lu Chen's careful questioning, he realized that such a situation was only recently.
Until more than ten years ago, the church still maintained a complete set of talent construction reserve system, and the priests who were qualified to work in the central cathedral should be outstanding talents selected by the local branch churches according to the regulations;
However, after the Industrial Revolution, the Church was in decline, and the Central Cathedral finally became hungry and began to appeal to the idlers of society......
However, what reassured Lu Chen was that no matter how downtrodden the church was, there were still rules.
Although these priests are from poor backgrounds, they have at least been educated and tested for a long time before they officially become priests, and their professional level is at least not problematic.
Anyway, they basically belong to the lowest level of the clergy system of the church, and their usual tasks are to preach and illiteracy for the common people, and the requirements are not too high.
It is precisely because of their low status in the organizational structure of the church that these clergymen have the opportunity to see the face of the divine envoy in person on weekdays? Compared with ordinary guards and believers, these clergy are more devout in their faith, and when they answer Lu Chen's question, they all blushed with excitement.
Seeing that the priests around him were all looking at this side expectantly, Lu Chen simply stood up and said loudly:
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Holy Spirit is always watching your achievements! The future is not easy, and only by sticking to your faith can we overcome the difficulties together!"
"Let's get through this together!" said the priests, who were so excited that they tapped their spoons on the table in response.
The black crowd of clergy shouted loudly together, and the sound was really not small. The paladins, guards, and servants in the dining room looked east, only to see the Divine Messenger standing tall among the clergy, bowing gracefully.
- The Guard's Table.
The guards were bored, and they stood up and craned their necks to look at the priests, like a flock of hungry ducks desperately looking for rice to eat.
They were too far away to hear what the oracle was saying, and they exchanged ears again, asking each other if anyone had good ears.
Captain Otto couldn't stand it anymore, so he picked up the wooden spoon and slammed it on the table a few times.
The guards reluctantly sat back in their seats and continued to eat.
One of the guards poked Captain Otto with his finger and whispered:
"Captain, why is he in such good spirits today, and he just finished inspecting our guards and speaking to the priests?"
Captain Otto also had a puzzled look on his face, he shook his head and muttered, "Maybe His Majesty the Pope sent the Divine Envoy over......!
The guards around Otto suddenly came to their senses and praised one after another:
"I see!"
However, none of the guards saw a trace of worry in Captain Otto's eyes.
- Paladin's Table.
"Sister Alice!" a young red-haired female knight excitedly poked the silver-haired female knight that Lu Chen had noticed just now, "Look, Elliot's envoy is talking!"
The silver-haired female knight known as "Alice" raised her head slightly and squinted at Lu Chen.
"Eat well, Brigitte. She bowed her head and replied quietly, "We paladins, don't mind the affairs of those clergy. ”
"Huh?" Brigitte pouted, holding her cheek and staring at Alice, "But Sister Alice, don't you think Master Elliot is a little different today?"
"Hey, Brigitte!" a dark-haired female knight on the other side grinned, "It's your business to have a crush on the Divine Envoy, so don't disturb everyone's dinner, right?"
"I don't have a crush on the Divine Envoy!" Brigitte snorted, taking a sip of porridge to hide her reddish cheeks, "but none of you think Master Elliot is handsome?"
"It's one thing to be handsome, it's another thing to have any plans to marry the Divine Envoy!" the black-haired female knight sarcastically said.
"Hey, what are you talking about!" Brigitte stared at each other angrily, "I'll ask you, if Master Elliot suddenly proposes to you now, will you marry?"
The black-haired female knight was stunned, turned her head and whispered, "If he proposes......"
Brigitte's face immediately radiated with the glow of a victor. She raised her face triumphantly, and was about to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but she heard Alice say coldly: "What kind of marriage proposal does not propose! The Divine Envoy is a human walker of the Holy Spirit, and you are paladins who serve the Holy Spirit, and I don't want to hear such blasphemous nonsense from you again!"
Brigitte and the black-haired female knight wilted.
"But Sister Alice," Brigitte said aggrievedly, "Lord Elliot, he's really handsome......"
Alice's eyebrows were raised, and before the words of reprimand could be spoken, she was interrupted by a sudden singing.
In a place like a restaurant, where you should eat quietly, how could anyone be singing? The female knights looked around in disbelief, and soon discovered the source of the singing—
It's actually a divine envoy.
And a large group of clergy gathered around him, black and oppressive.
-- Lu Daguan is suffering now, and he can't say it.
He really underestimated the role of religious beliefs, and after he finished speaking, this group of fanatical clergymen actually grabbed his sleeve and prevented him from leaving, and made all kinds of strange demands: some asked him to rub his head to cure athlete's foot, some asked him to anoint himself with oil to get rid of evil spirits, and some begged God to tell his fortune for him......
As a result, both sides gave way, and the gods led everyone to sing a hymn, which was considered a blessing to everyone.
So, Lu Chen had to drive the ducks to the shelves, and led the priests to sing with embarrassment:
Welcome to the Savior, and the world rejoices;
The Holy King of Song'er, a genius and a hero;
Pity the people, the gold is not defective;
Eternal worship of the gods, the heart of the sun and the moon......
After singing a holy song, Lu Daguan was tortured by the awkward ancient syllables and almost collapsed, and these heartless priests were still applauding.
Fortunately, there are no glow sticks in this world, otherwise they would definitely call the Divine Envoy when they look at this posture.
I don't know which boring guy pushed another roll of papyrus, and he had to ask the god to inscribe the word "Priests' Mutual Aid Society".
Lu Chen struggled for a while, but another priest handed over a pen.
Lu Daguan lowered his head viciously, wanting to see who was so short-sighted, but it turned out that it was Yunston.
Damn, isn't it just an inscription, the question is the question! The divine envoy bit the pen and thought for a long time, and with a move of inspiration, a big stroke of the pen, the dragon and snake flew down, and a line of big characters appeared on the papyrus in a blink of an eye:
"The revolution has not yet succeeded, and the faithful still need to work hard!"
The priests were still looking at each other, and when they turned their heads, they realized that the Divine Messenger was gone.
Only a few particularly sharp-eyed people vaguely saw the backs of the divine envoy and the maid running away at the door of the restaurant.
