readx;? Tom had thought that Buckingburg would be a serious place, but he found James Ramsden to be a very nice guy to get along with. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Does life in the palace bother you?" said James to 14-year-old Tom, feeling a little relieved. He likes children far more than princes and nobles, and such elder-like questions seem to turn him into an old man in the same family for four generations. On a sunny afternoon, come and feed the birds in the garden. But apart from James' slightly bloated size, he has nothing in common with those who have been able to enjoy their old age.

"There's nothing wrong with me. Tom said happily, he has been James's follower since he took the job. Because except for James, everyone else didn't look so amiable.

"We may need to cut back on the number of bird feedings. "Birds are clever slippery heads, like all birds belong to some organization, and they will whisper and share their foraging know-how where others can't see," James said. Just yesterday, a flock of starlings flew near Buckingburg. We're going to have to get the court mages to get rid of them, and those little things are noisy and edible......"

"Starling?" said Tom, rolling his eyes, and thought for a long time, "is it the bird that was densely packed like a dark cloud yesterday? ”

"True to its name, my child. "Starlings are smaller than many birds, but they are as heavy as the others, and they fly like arrows off the string, whistling and rushing towards their prey." "Farmers love these birds to hunt locusts in their fields, but when harvest season comes, they wave flags to drive them away, and even burn the trees where they nest." ”

"It's not fair. Tom said to James: "A missionary said to me, 'Do not bind the mouth of an ox when it is trodking in the grain, and do not control the mouths of a labourer while he is working in the garden. There is no one who works without asking for wages, and he who grows does not eat his own crops. ”

"A missionary?" asked James, "have you been to church? Has your brother taken you there?"

"Been there a few times, in ...... We haven't been there when we're sleeping on the street. Tom said, "He always came to preach under bridges and caves or in parks where the homeless gathered, calling himself a servant of God, and we all called him a missionary." ”

"Missionary ......," said James, "interesting people, most church clergy don't like to be away from a warm fire and a place where there is no money to be made. ”

"Are you like that? I mean...... I mean not to be offended...... When I didn't say it, Lord James, please forget what I just said. ”

"Maybe. James whispered to himself, the Holy Spirit Knight is also a clergyman, and he is deaf to all the ills of the people, and he is almost turning himself into the mediocrity he just mocked. "Where can I find the missionary you are talking about?"

A missionary who went to the slums to preach caught James's attention, and he called a few guards and set off for the red brick district, which is now preferred to be called a mud block by homeless people and civilians. A rugged path without any shops separated it from the various wealthy merchants and aristocrats who had courtyard lawns. The houses here are arranged more efficiently, as if it were a game of filling holes with blocks, and roads have become especially precious and scarce.

Houses are built as high as possible, and houses below four floors are almost invisible. Although compared to some square towers and churches, the height of these buildings is still a few blocks away. However, the mud egg area looks more flat and monotonous than other places. The street, which is dominated by civil and engineering colors, visually gives people a feeling of oppression, and when you look up at the sky, it feels smaller.

"Come inside. ”

A mother said to her child, who was watching the excitement, and the mother and son went into the house and closed the doors and windows.

It's both strange and familiar to people in high society. Strangeness means walking the streets here, imagining how these poor people spend the winter in the days when they can't afford coal, how they rest at sunset, because there is no lamp oil to continue the passion of the day. It is familiar that no matter where they go, people always hide from the people with the guards. They may not know any adults, but they know swords.

Soon James saw the preacher preaching. The audience did not sit down and sat down on the spot. The poor man's pants are sewn with a thick layer of cloth on the buttocks, which will make the pants last a long time. When they saw James coming, they whispered something, and most of them left in a hurry. The people who are still left must be confident and knowledgeable, but they are also stupid.

They must not have heard that the Reyes family is likely to rob beautiful maidens, and it is rumored that Count Emily of the Bartoli family will bathe in the blood of children, even if nothing extreme happens, it is not without precedent for nobles to beat up civilians because of common people.

"Mr. Missionary!" James greeted.

When the missionary saw James, he smiled warmly, as silently and warmly as the sun, "My brothers, a lost lamb has returned. ”

At first glance, that smile looked the same as that of other pretentious nobles at the ball, but there was clear joy in his eyes. Trying to take out his heart and show it to you, but he has no choice but to turn it into this smile, if you look at the heart, you may be able to read all his thoughts, that is, the enthusiasm for preaching and the belief in God.

The missionary had half gray hair, and his angular face even wrinkled with his smile. The simple dress is not much better than that of the poor in the mud area, but it is clean and tidy, and when he sees James, he does not forget to wave his hand to complete the folds of his shirt. Although he didn't have a fine dress, he behaved like a gentleman through and through.

"Why do you call me a lost lamb?" James could only smile at the missionary's smile, even if he wanted to make a sad face.

"You are a good and pure man, but you are only surrounded by poisonous snakes, and you have never seen the real flock. The missionary said, "Now you have returned, not only with the flock, but also with the shepherd." ”

"How can you be sure?"

"You have followed the guidance of your heart to find this place, and if you have not come to trouble me, you have come to seek God. The missionary said.

"And my presence makes you happy?"

"Of course. ”

"But I scared away most of your believers, won't it make you angry?" said James.

"Hahaha......" the missionary smiled, his words were like a smile that could give you an irresistible feeling, "I will not be excited about the sheep in the flock, but the lost lamb has been found, and I naturally want to celebrate with a smile on my face." ”

"That makes sense," said James...... "I must ask, what is your name?"

"Call me Harris. ”

"Harris, don't you have a last name?" said James.

"Those who gave birth to me and raised me are all gods, and I have long since abandoned the surname from the dust. Harris said.

"So you're an ascetic? I've heard that they abandon their surnames, and I've heard that they hardly preach. James said.

"I'm not an ascetic, I'm just a servant of God. ”

James was a little more serious and asked, "I know from what you do that your life must not be easy." Tell me how you keep your faith. ”

"I pray, my lord. Harris said, "I pray." ”
