"Who are they?"

Lorenzo looked at the slowly dispersed crowd, curious about these guys who suddenly came out of the shadows.

"Workers, it looks like they're off work. Eve said.

"No, it's an urban area, and there are no factories nearby. "Hybold was clearly more careful than Eve had observed.

"What a variety of people......

Lorenzo looked at the crowd, men and women, old and young, and it was evident from the way each one dressed and behaved that they all had different identities in society, but they were united by something.

"Who do you think they are?"

Eve asked, suddenly remembering that the guy in front of her was a detective, and that this question should not be difficult for him.

"The believers, the believers of the Orthodox Church, have just finished the rally. ”

Lorenzo replied dryly.

"How can you be sure?" Eve didn't understand.

"These people don't have much in common, they all have different professional personalities, look at the process of their dispersion, they don't do much to retain, they don't talk too much, most of them probably don't know each other. ”

Lorenzo stared at the crowd, this guy really looked like a detective at the moment.

"Roughly think about it, what is the reason to bring them together other than the rally?

"Although the authorities are ready to support the Orthodox Church, the Evangelical Church is still the mainstream in Gaul-Nalone, but it is not as strong as it used to be, and they do not dare to hold meetings directly in the public, so they can only choose places to avoid the sight. ”

Lorenzo said as he walked towards the slowly dispersed crowd.

"What are you going to do?"

Haybold hurriedly shouted, judging by Lorenzo's stance, he thought this guy was ready to kill here.

"Learn about Orthodoxy, after all, all my knowledge about this thing comes from what you have said, and I want to hear what Orthodoxy is like in the eyes of believers. ”

Lorenzo straightened his shirt and turned to Haybold with a smile.

"You may not believe it, but I was a pastor. ”

With that, Lorenzo confidently walked over, leaving Hypard and Eve standing still.

"Has his life always been so colorful?"

Hypard still couldn't believe the fact that Lorenzo had been a priest.

Eve thought for a moment, then nodded.

"It's a pity that you met us too late, or Lorenzo might have taken you with him when he smashed the demon with the train. ”

Eve looked at the solid muscles of Hybedd's majestic body and added.

"You're going to be a good demon slasher. ”

......

After a full meal, everyone's face is a little relaxed and happy, which is not only to satisfy the pleasure brought by hunger, but also to touch the heart.

Hu Ao was squeezed into the street by the crowd, and in the chaos he saw faces similar to himself, he didn't know what others thought in their hearts, but at least Hu Ao felt that he had lived so long, and for the first time he felt kindness and was valued.

He looked at Liya beside him, and the girl was also very well-fed, and she had a full burp on the way.

"How do you join the Orthodox Church?" asked Juao, bowing his head.

It wasn't just for the sacrament, but what Juao longed for more was the atmosphere, the feeling of being accepted, and although only a few minutes had passed, Juao felt that he could only be truly alive when he was there.

"Join, you're already an Orthodox believer. ”

Liya smiled.

"How......" Hu Ao was a little puzzled.

"There is no so-called threshold of faith in Orthodoxy, if you want to believe, you are, and the door of Orthodoxy will be open to everyone who needs it. ”

Liya stretched her waist, eating too much and feeling her stomach swell.

"It's time for me to go back and see you next time. ”

She was like a cheerful fawn that bounced away, but perhaps because she had eaten too much, the fawn was a little sluggish in jumping.

Gradually, the crowd dispersed, and Juao stood still for a long time, staring at the gas lamp beside him, staring directly at the dazzling wick, until tears flowed from his eyes, and then turned his head away.

He looked at the dusty ground, and after a while a shadow approached him, and stopped not far away, and Juao looked up to see a man smiling at him.

"Hello, I think you're an Orthodox believer, right?"

Hu Ao didn't react for a while, his words were hesitant, although Liya affirmed him, Hu Ao was still a little overwhelmed, he was very unconfident.

But it didn't last long, and he nodded.

"Hmm. ”

"Oh, so you're just at the end of the rally?"

The man sniffed the air around him, and Hu Ao thought he was smelling the fishy smell on his body, and his shame and anger just rose, but he was dispelled by the man's next words.

"What does the food taste like?

Looking at Hu Ao's puzzled eyes, the man continued.

"My nose is very smart. ”

Juo looked at the man warily, and he remembered what Lia had said to him before, that the believers of the evangelical church do not welcome Orthodoxy, and some extreme people even regard it as heresy and use violence.

He suspected that the seemingly kind guy in front of him was that kind of person, and he was playing his own way.

"Let me introduce myself, I'm Lorenzo Holmos, a traveller from Invig. ”

Lorenzo stretched out his hand in a friendly manner, and when he heard the traveler's this, Juao's expression relaxed slightly, but then he said with vigilance.

"My name is Juao, and I don't know Orthodoxy, I only learned about it today...... I can say that I have only been teaching for a few hours. ”

"Oh, do you have time to talk to me about that, and why would you want to join?"

Lorenzo stepped aside as he spoke, and sat down on the cold steps like a social idler.

True to his student under Oscar, Lorenzo was well disguised, and his kind attitude almost fooled Juão perfectly.

Juão thought for a moment and sat down on the steps with Lorenzo.

He was just an ordinary sailor, and the only money he had was stuffed under the bed, and now he had nothing on him.

Juão briefly observed Lorenzo, who was wearing an orchestra uniform, and the embarrassed guy was rarely tidy.

Looking at the face that was a little pale because he had been at home for a long time without seeing the sun, Hu Ao was completely relieved.

He had met people like Lorenzo before, who laughed at him, but under his clothes was a thin body, and Juao had developed a fierce body under the waves for many years, and if he really did it, Juao was confident that he would overturn Lorenzo, a stranger.

"Invig? I've seen it from afar on a fishing boat. ”

"At the end of the sea, there was a hazy shadow, and that should be when I was closest to Invig. ”

"If you're interested, you're always welcome, and if you put my name on me, maybe you won't have to make a transition in the lower town. ”

Juão obviously didn't understand what Lorenzo meant by a transition to the lower town, but he didn't care, he probably didn't have the chance to leave the fishing boat in his life, let alone go to Gaul-Nalo.

"So back to Orthodoxy, I have a friend who is the pastor of an evangelical church, and maybe because of his influence, I'm quite interested in theology. ”

Lorenzo said as he watched Juao's reaction, and he realized that something was wrong with his words, and Lorenzo continued.

But don't worry, I'm not a believer, I'm just a normal person who is interested in theology. ”

"Is that so......"

Juao couldn't let his guard down, and he wanted to end the conversation quickly.

What do you think of Orthodoxy...... Like I said, I've only been a believer for a few hours, and I haven't even listened to the teachings. ”

Hu Ao felt a little embarrassed at this point, and the priest read aloud in front of the stage, but he didn't care about it at all, but kept eating.

"To look at a thing, you must first understand it, but I ......," Hu Ao smiled a little embarrassedly, "I can't give you any more answers about Orthodoxy." ”

"It's okay, tell me why you joined? There must be some reason, right?"

Lorenzo pressed on to wonder what Orthodoxy had become, and in his experience the quickest way to analyze it was from these ordinary believers.

After countless years of development, the Evangelical Church has now completely changed into a different form, where the believers at the bottom still believe in God, and the cardinals at the top have become a division of interests.

Lorenzo remembers the worst time in the history of the evangelical church, when the clergy even came up with something like indulgences in order to ease the internal economy.

"Why?"

"Yes, the reason, you also said, you don't even remember the doctrine, the main thing, so what is the reason that drove you to join?

Lorenzo was right, but Juão felt a little uncomfortable, and then he rose into a nameless rage...... Mortified.

Yes, Juao came for the sacrament, he didn't believe in any god at all, he just pretended to be religious for this benefit.

This side was broken by Lorenzo, and he became angry, but this anger had not yet fully risen, and an unspeakable sense of shame permeated his heart.

It was as if he had done something wrong, and although he had done nothing, Juao felt that it was a mistake in himself to have that kind of thought.

Juo was ashamed of his poor purpose, and he blamed himself.

He...... Began to believe.

"I don't know how to explain it, but I was just trying to save some money at first, but ...... But I don't know why, I really want to stay there, like the people there are my kind, and only by spending time with them do I feel like I'm a living person. ”

Juão had lived so long, it was probably the most complicated question he had ever thought about, he wanted to explain it to Lorenzo, but he didn't know enough to make it perfect for him to speak his mind.

He was like a child at a loss, whimpering and describing something he didn't yet understand.

"You can get recognition there, as a living person, not something dispensable, can you?"

Lorenzo's face was indifferent, as if he fully understood Juao's feelings.

"Probably...... It's something like that. ”

Juao replied dumbfoundedly.

Lorenzo stood up and sighed softly, for some reason, at some point just now, he saw himself in Juao.

I was also a fanatic, because only by guarding this sacredness can I have a place for myself and others.

That ridiculous sense of identity.

To be honest, humans are social animals, and no matter what, everyone has similar troubles to some extent.

Lorenzo shook his head helplessly and said goodbye to Juao.

"I think I've got it, and I'll see you again, Juao. ”

Lorenzo walked to the other side of the street, where Haybold and Eve were waiting for him not far away.

"What's the catch?" asked Eve.

"It's not a big gain," Lorenzo shrugged, "but judging from what he said, the Orthodox Church is a little upright." ”

"Zhengda Bright?"

"It sounded like a paradise built by a bunch of idealists," Lorenzo recalled, with some reluctance, "and the evangelical church was like that in the beginning, but everybody turned into dragons. ”

"It seems that the Orthodox Church has gained a group of devout adherents. Lorenzo turned his head, and the figure of Juao at the end of the street was blurred little by little.

"What Maruri and Gaulna have to face is more severe than what we have to do. ”

"What will happen?" asked Hybod.

"The conflict of beliefs, the fanatics will fight together, the kind that never stops, the history of the development of religion is also a history of war, people of different denominations fight together, and in the end only the one who is alive is left, and the evangelical church is the one who is alive. ”

He lamented the inferiority of human beings, and sometimes despaired because he could not find an answer.

"If humans can understand each other, what else do they need weapons for?"

Lorenzo smiled disdainfully.

"Don't you think these people are ridiculous, putting everything in the hands of those ethereal gods, but not wanting to reach out and grasp the things around them. ”

Perhaps because he used to be the way he was, Lorenzo stopped when he scolded this.

"Alright, let's go. Eve said.

The night has completely shrouded, and the bright street lamps shine like stars.

Lorenzo paused, looking at the strange street, and he remembered that he was in a foreign land...... After all, Old Dunling is not his hometown.

Without saying anything more, several people quickened their pace back to the hotel, and after making their plans, they still had too much to prepare.

Of course, more importantly, I hope that when I go back, the kestrel will still be alive, and Erin will still be honestly tied aside.

In the hotel, Kestrel and Erin sat at opposite ends of the living room, although their hands were cuffed, but this did not prevent Erin from grabbing the books with her hands, she was looking at the books with a calm look, and the Kestrel on the other side couldn't stop the thoughts in her mind.
