readx;? Like other large cities, Pooh City is a place of people from different parts of the continent, where different cultures from the north and south are represented. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 From time to time, the streets are filled with the sounds of southern and northern accents, and people dressed in different styles and colorful costumes from different places are laughing and swaggering, which dazzles the first-time visitors.

In comparison, if one of the Boulder City and the ancient city of Ao is a majestic man, and the other is a rugged barbarian, then Pooh City is a slender and graceful woman, full of graceful and gentle water town atmosphere.

According to the results of the communication with Berego, Alan and the others will stay in Pooh City for a few days, and use this time to find out the specific location of the target person. So after entering the city, Alan immediately found a bar for Shelly and a few mercenary brothers to relax, and walked all the way by water, and they barely sat down to drink.

At Berego's suggestion, Allen chose the largest central bar in the city, located on the edge of the central square, with a direct view of the central square and the surrounding buildings, the most striking of which is the church that rises high on the other side of the square.

The church is the tallest building in Poohny, and as soon as Alan and his team entered the city, they could already see the high vault and towers of the church through the multi-story street, far above the roof.

The whole church overlooks a rectangular building, which is located in the center of a huge courtyard, surrounded by a circle of red courtyard walls seven or eight steps high, leaving a wide courtyard in front of it, and auxiliary rooms built behind it, all of which constitute a church, the center of the work and life of the clergy of the Holy See in the Pogny area, of which the church is the centerpiece.

The façade of the church is made entirely of white granite, and the solemn image of solidity, heaviness, thickness and unbreakability shows the authority of the Holy See. The front wall of the church is full of large and small arch structures, as well as different types of sculptures on the wall, which are full of splendor and magnificence.

At the back of the church, there are some annexes, but from the point of view of the bar, they are blocked by the cathedral and cannot be seen.

At a great distance, Alan did not know that this building was a church that symbolized the existence of the Holy See. I thought this was the council hall in Minamino Castle, but it was the first time I've seen such a majestic "council hall" Allen. It was only when she walked to the neighborhood with curiosity that she realized that the building with its four huge spired towers was a church, and the most conspicuous symbol was the huge Holy Cross symbol hanging above the main entrance. On the other side of the square to its right is a nondescript concrete house, which is the city's council hall.

The council hall, which was originally the center of the city, was like an ugly duckling squatting in front of a white swan in front of the glorious and solemn church.

"The governor of this city must have been very aggrieved. ”

Alan couldn't help but smile when he noticed that Shelly, who was sitting across from him, was also observing the two buildings opposite.

"No matter how wronged he is, he is also the governor. Regardless of him, let's drink, I heard that in hot weather, bilr wine and ice cubes go well together, do you want to add a little more?"

In Shelly's hand was a large wooden cup containing a golden liquid with some foam floating on it. It is a low-alcohol liquor called Bill, which is made by fermenting barley and wild hops, and is very refreshing to drink, especially when added with ice cubes, so it is very popular in the southern part of the continent with a hot climate. Especially in the scorching summer months, eating barbecue and drinking beer wine is undoubtedly a great pleasure in life, and it is even sold in bars in some big cities in the north of the mainland.

"Don't bother. ”

Alan waved his hand at Shelly's wine glass, and the liquid in the glass suddenly condensed white mist, and even the walls of the glass were covered with fine dewdrops.

"Wow... This is much more refreshing than the one with ice cubes, which make the wine taste lighter. ”

Shelly took a sip of his cold Bill and an intoxicated expression appeared on his face.

Alan also took a sip, he liked the bitter taste of the wine, but other than that, Alan still preferred the mellowness and strength of rum to this low-alcohol wine.

"What are those men in white doing?"

The little girl also has a glass of beer in her hand, but the wine in her glass is black, and burnt malt is added to the brewing process, so there will be a unique burnt aroma, which is why the little girl likes it. The group of white-clothed people in the little girl's mouth were all pastors, and they were walking out of the church compound with a group of believers at this time, and came to the center of the square.

The faithful formed a circle and surrounded the priest in the center, and the prayers began under the leadership of the priest. When the crowd in the square saw this scene, they kept joining in, making the whole scene bigger and bigger, and even some people who were drinking in the bar couldn't help but clench their hands into fists on their chests when they saw this scene, close their eyes and whisper something, and only after chanting did they pick up the food on the table and start to enjoy it.

"This is the form of the church assembly, they call it Mass, the priest presides over the ceremony, asks the gods to show mercy to the faithful, forgiveness of their past sins, usually this ceremony is carried out in the church, but today may be a more important day, so come to the square for a large Mass. ”

Shelly explained that he had been to the South before and knew about this kind of scene.

"May the gods of light be with you. ”

In the center of the crowd, a priest standing on a high platform held up the symbol of the Holy Cross in his hand and said in a loud voice.

"Be with your heart too. ”

The surrounding crowd answered in unison.

"Lift your heart up. ”

"We turn to God with all our hearts. ”

"Thank you to the Lord and our God. ”

"Almighty God of Light, your radiance fills the heavens and the earth. ”

After the eulogy was read, everyone began to sing the hymn again, and at the same time, there was a deafening bell ringing above the church, and the whole square was enveloped in solemnity, including many people who were not religious in the tavern, who also stopped their mouths and looked out curiously.

Some priests on the central platform sprinkled the holy water from the basin in their hands on the surrounding believers, and then collectively began to chant prayers, and the congregants who were drenched with the holy water began to glow with a faint white light.

"I heard that the Pope and the cardinals often kneel in the Temple of Light and pray day and night, so I thought it might be for the blessing of the congregation. Now it may seem like forgiveness for his own sins. ”

Berego and Fresnel were also sitting with Alan today, frowning as they tasted the Bill, as if they were not used to the bitterness. Among them, Berego was drinking wine while watching everything in the square with a blank face, and suddenly said with a sneer.
