"What are you doing here? Why are you sticking to me so close in public? Do you want to play hooligan? ”

"Manager Han, don't get me wrong! Our Imam wants to talk to you. ”

"Your imagin? I'm sorry, I don't seem to know each other, do I? Besides, I'm not free right now, so I'll go to him next time I have time. ”

"Manager Han, I'm afraid this won't work, right? Our patriarch has only been on the island for a few days, and you are the first person he intends to meet, and if you don't give us any face, we won't be able to go back. Before he could finish his words, a few more Protestants came out, and they surrounded me from front to back, left and right, and it seemed that it would not be possible to go today.

Speaking of which, I don't know what day it is, whether it is taboo to go out, I got up early in the morning and ran to the clinic to question An An, which made An An quite unhappy, and then met Homney and moved his hands and feet, although these two things are misunderstandings, but after all, they are not good, I didn't expect this to be surrounded by Protestants again. To be honest, after all, it's on the street now, and I'm going to really do it, not to mention that I will definitely be able to get them all down, at least it's no problem to get out, but in that case, I may be harassed endlessly later, so I might as well go and meet the so-called patriarch.

In the division of religious rights of the bishop, at the top of the pyramid is the white-robed archbishop, he is the representative of the gods believed by the entire god bishop in the world, is the most authoritative religious leader, the white-robed archbishop is lifelong, only on the day of his death, will the new white-robed archbishop be elected through a series of complex and confidential ceremonies, in short, the white-robed archbishop is equivalent to the queen to the British Empire for the divine bishop.

Under the white archbishop are the four blue bishops, who can be regarded as the right-hand men of the white archbishop, assisting the archbishop in handling the daily affairs of the entire denomination.

Underneath the blue-robed bishops are the bishops of the various branches of the Divine Bishops around the world, and these bishops are all dressed in black robes, so they are also called black-robed bishops. These black-robed bishops are responsible for the management of the congregation and the dissemination of doctrines in the areas where their branches are located, and they are also called patriarchs because they have more contact with the common people.

Led by the Protestants, I met in a low building what they called the Imam, a middle-aged man of about forty, with brown hair and deep eyes full of endless vicissitudes.

Once I was in the room, the imam motioned for everyone else to go out, then nodded at me and said, "Hello, my name is Powers. ”

"Hello, my name is Han Dong! I don't know if you have anything to advise you on when you asked me to come over? Forgive me for my rudeness, I respect the faith of the Archbishop, but I do not believe in any religion myself. ”

"Religious belief is supposed to be free, but it is a cult that is difficult for strong people. I have not been here for a long time, but I have heard your name several times, and I have sent someone to invite you today. ”

"Am I so famous? I don't even know it myself, alas! Are you looking for the wrong person? The person who has been in contact with you a lot before is a man named Yang Biao, who is now the manager of the Island Tobacco Company, next door to my winery, if you want to meet him, I can help you talk. ”

"Mr. Han, don't doubt it, what I'm looking for is you, I know who the Yang Biao in your mouth is. Let me tell you my story first. Since the division between the old and new denominations, the bishop has been mired in a constant conflict and intensification. The Old Christians tied religion to the life and death of the imperial regime, while the Protestants wanted a pure bishop who would keep the sect away from politics. I used to be the black-robed bishop of the diocese of Browning, and I was also a staunch old Catholic, and in my opinion at that time, the survival of religion required a lot of objective material conditions, and blindly pursuing and completely separating itself from the polity would only put the bishop in a difficult situation. But later, my thinking slowly changed a lot, after the bishop and the British Empire were tightly tied together, religion became a political tool, our so-called faith was slowly eroding, and doctrine was no longer the only criterion for judging whether a thing was right or wrong, and the guiding needs of the regime were the yardstick for judging right and wrong. We should not pursue a complete divestment, but we should not completely lose our independence, but it is a pity that the authorities of the Bishops of God are taking the old believers further and further down the path of turning their backs. ”

"So you became a Protestant? And then fled to a paradise island? ”

"Run? Mr. Han's word is not very accurate, the imperial law has never recognized the identity of Protestants as illegal, and the Divine Bishop has never drawn a line with Protestants, so there is no need for me to escape. Secondly, I can be either a Protestant or a Protestant, and if I had to give an identity, I would say that I am a new type of Protestant. ”

"A new type of Protestant? What does that mean? Are you saying you're different from the Protestants before you? ”

"Yes, but what is the specific difference, I am not convenient to tell you at the moment, I must make sure that Mr. Han and I have the same values before I can be honest."

"Forget it, I just said, I'm not interested in religious beliefs at all, if I have to believe anything, I'd rather believe in the Monkey King of Huaguo Mountain."

"You may have misunderstood what I meant, I didn't ask you to join the Divine Bishop, I just wanted you to work with me for a goal."

"Mr. Imam, please forgive me for being rude again, you took the initiative to invite me, believe me, I am very grateful, but the problem is that I am now riddled with a bunch of things, and I don't have the energy to think about other goals, otherwise you can really go and find Yang Biao, he is particularly interested in these things. In addition, I would like to kindly remind you that there seems to be a spies among these Protestants on the island, so you should be careful when you first arrive. ”

"Mr. Han refers to the undercover agent planted by Sandro, the commander of the Island Guard, right? That man had confessed to me and confessed to the conspiracy of Sandro and the men. ”

"Oh yes?" I looked at Powers with some surprise and thought, "This grandson is so powerful?" Already in full control within a few days of arriving? Not only did the original Protestants clean up the obedience, but also pulled out the undercover eyeliner hidden in it, it seems that the ability is extraordinary, no wonder the Protestants on the island have stopped during this time. ”

"And the Yang Biao you mentioned, his ambition is not small, but his ability is limited, although his heart is higher than the sky, but in the end, his fate is thinner than paper."

Speaking of the word ambition, although I am not sure what this imam wants to do, but it must be ambitious, in contrast, although the man with glasses shouts the slogan of unifying the world every day, but in fact, it is simply impossible, according to what I know about him, he was at most a businessman before the shipwreck, and he is not the kind of top businessman, if he wants to dominate the world, at least he has to plunge into the library to make up for decades.

Seeing that I was always refusing, Bowers did not continue to insist, he said to me: "Even if we know each other today, although we have not been able to reach a consensus, I believe that it will be sooner or later, Mr. Han will go back and think about it, I will look forward to your presence at any time." By the way, as a welcome gift, and as a reward for you taking the initiative to remind me just now, I will also tell you a piece of news, among your friends, in addition to the spy who has been found out by you before, there is also a spy codenamed Little Bird, he is also Sandro's person, as for who it is, I don't know, but this spy must exist. ”
