Chapter 35: The Candidate for the Supreme Pope
The organization of Puritanism in England is like an old stringed instrument.
In addition to the owner, there is also a manager of this instrument.
To use the violin as an analogy, even if the best violin is, as long as it is not used for a while, the strings will slacken, and the resonance chamber will decay, making the sound no longer beautiful.
Lorastuat's job is to play in place of the master and keep the violin in perfect condition.
But, as in the relationship between Canterbury Abbey and St George's Chapel, the nominal and substantive positions have now been reversed, and the power of integrity is in her hands.
That's right, as is the case with the changing importance of St. George's Cathedral of St. George.
Despite its name, St George's Cathedral is just one of many churches located in central London. Although the church building is not small, it can be said that it is very different from world-famous tourist attractions such as Westminster Abbey and St. Paul's Cathedral.
Of course, this is not the same as Canterbury Abbey, the founding place of Puritanism in England.
It's only because it condenses the cruel history of witch hunting, the Inquisition, and even the dark sanctuary that burned the famous Joan of Arc in France to death, so it really has some fame.
But in fact, there are so many buildings in London that have been named St. George's. In addition to churches, there are also department stores, restaurants, clothing stores, schools, etc., and there are probably dozens of them in the downtown area alone.
It's not as many churches as Rome, but there are as many churches in London as there are parks.
Not only that, but there may be more than a dozen churches with the full name of St. George's Cathedral. St. George's close relationship with the British is evident even from the Union Jack.
The so-called Great Church of St. George was originally nothing more than a base for the necessary evil church, and it was only a peripheral organization of the church.
Within the great organization of Puritanism in England, the members of the Church of Necessary Evil were of a rather low status and played a less honorable role.
But then, things took an unexpected turn.
The peripheral organizations of the church, which have quietly contributed countless achievements, have gradually accumulated trust and real power, and have been anti-customer step by step. To this day, the heart of English Puritanism is still Canterbury.
But the decision-making power in the bones has been completely transferred to the Great Church of St. George.
The cathedral, a little further from the centre of the city of London, is now the central institution that governs the great national religion of Puritanism. And the people who single-handedly created such a situation are other than Lolastuat.
Could it be that there are other suspects?
……
……
"Huh...... It's really careful, are you going to find a meow for your own believers? As you are, why bother with such trivial things? ”
Listening to the young man on the other side, he seemed to be talking to himself, slowly revealing his secrets and not so glorious past.
The expression on the delicate face of the largest bishop suddenly couldn't hold back any longer, and she quickly interrupted, and seemed to stare at the person opposite with a somewhat dissatisfied expression.
"Hawkers, it's just a feeling, to be honest, although I want the little black cat to grow up well, but her character and experience are doomed, and it can't reach your level."
Mu Xiu retracted his gaze, then picked up the ice cream in front of him and scooped a spoonful, and said indifferently.
He looked at the girl opposite with a strange emotion that was not concealed at all, approving and appreciative, but it was not the possessive type, but the gaze that was like seeing the hunting heart.
To put it simply, the big director meets the best actors, and the big singer finds the best lyricist...... He is also like a big boss who has just started a business, and feels that he has seen the talent he needs most.
After all, a person like Lorastuat, in Mu Xiu's eyes now, is simply an SSR-quality five-star character card.
But it's a pity that the other party has joined other companies, and through years of hard work, he has used his own scheming and skills to control the entire huge organization of Puritanism in England step by step.
Of course, Mu Xiu didn't think this was a problem, at most, his side was not so attractive to the other party at the beginning.
So he was not polite, and after blinking his eyes, he asked with a look of course: "Recently, my missionary career has just started, but I have encountered a little hindrance...... Would Miss Lola be interested in coming over and helping me? ”
“……”
“……”
"I'm so sorry, thank you for your love...... But I don't have any plans to do that just yet."
Maybe he didn't expect the other party to come to say such a thing, the expression on the face of the British Puritan Supreme Bishop was as if someone had found out that the shirt button was wrong, and he was stunned for a moment at first, and then the action stopped completely.
Then her whole face turned red, and she looked away and whispered, politely rejecting such an inexplicable and whimsical proposal from the other party.
Mu Xiu nodded clearly: "I understand, that is to say, there is no such plan for the time being?" ”
His pronunciation of a certain word is quite clear, and it seems self-evident what kind of subconscious meaning he wants to express.
"Wait, wait, that, maybe I don't have such plans in the future......" Lola's expression was a little stiff, she seemed to be a little panicked, and waved her hand again and again to add.
Then again, isn't that supposed to be a polite way of saying that this person can't understand the art of human language?
It is precisely because he knows what kind of existence the other party is, perhaps the embodiment of God's sense of touch, that the largest bishop of English Puritanism is so polite.
Even if the other party is a foreign god, it is not an existence that can be treated rudely by himself, and the fact that the god believed in by the Cross Sect has made a new covenant is enough to explain everything
This is a god other than God.
Either way, it has a power that can truly rival the power of the Creator. At the very least, the Lord, who is supposed to be supreme and unique, is also very important.
To be honest, Lola is indeed quite curious about such a legendary existence, but after meeting now...... However, she felt that it seemed to be completely different from the image of the lord who was high up and indifferent to all beings in her imagination.
Maybe it's because it's the embodiment of God's sense of touch?
Either way, at least Lola feels that it is much easier to face the incarnation of a human god than to face the real god, which is why she is now acting without the slightest restraint before.
Because after perceiving the nature of the other party, she immediately adjusted her attitude.
This is also the reason why Mu Xiu is so interested in her, because the black cat really will never reach the level of Lola.
After all, a person who has the strength to command a huge organization, is unscrupulous and ruthless for the benefit of the organization, and can control the "scale" of people's feelings, rationality, interests, ethics and other "values" in the palm of his hand.
But at the same time, he has the affinity to be able to naturally blend in with his surroundings, and he will not be alienated from others because of his status as a suprefect. You can quarrel, speak ill of anyone, riot, and sometimes burst into tears......
Needless to say, Musiu can say with considerable certainty that this is definitely an excellent candidate for the position of High Pope.
Therefore, after hearing the words of rejection, he first narrowed his eyes slightly, but the frowning brow he had just furrowed immediately stretched out again, and he said in a relaxed tone:
"Miss Lola, don't refuse so quickly, I'm quite sincere...... As the de facto leader of Puritanism in England, although the position of the whole world is supreme, are you satisfied with that alone? ”
The most important bishop, who looked like an eighteen-year-old girl, blinked, sighed helplessly, and then said quite succinctly and forcefully:
"You're laughing, I'm just a little bishop, and everything I do is purely for the sake of faith in my lord, not for ......"
I don't know why, she looked at the other party's clear dark eyes and kept staring at her, and couldn't help but whisper more and more, as if it was a sign of weakness.
Mu Xiu said neatly: "Go on, I'm interested." ”
“……”
“……”
"Anyway...... That's it...... Aha......" Lola's voice trembled slightly, sweat was streaming down her cheeks, and her eyes wandered around.
"You know, I'm in charge of all cause and effect, and everything in the world can be explained by direct or indirect cause and effect, whether tangible or abstract......"
Mu Xiu looked at her silently, and then said softly.
"It doesn't mean that you have to die if you are killed, for example, if you join a religious organization for some reason, there is a complete causal relationship between such things......
Because of his devout faith, he joined the English Puritan Church and was ready to dedicate his life to the supreme and unique Lord
It's a pity that Mu Xiu is in charge of all the cause and effect, but he can't find such a record from it. In other words, whether Lola really has faith or not is also very debatable.
"Uh......h Don't you say it......"
"Well, let's not talk about whether your faith is religious, or even whether you have faith." Mu Xiu nodded, and then asked as if he was a little curious, "Can I ask a question?" ”
"Why be so reserved, say it."
Probably seeing the hope of getting out of that embarrassing situation, Lola quickly sat upright, and replied indifferently with a noble temperament, still in a tone like a noble lady's chant.
After thinking about a lot of doubts, Mu Xiu finally asked, "Why does your Japanese sound so stupid?" ”
"Ah...... Hey......? Very...... Weird, meow? Isn't that what Japanese is all about? ”
Lola's elegant and dignified goddess-like figure suddenly froze, which seemed to be a more fatal question?
"Yes, to be honest, your Japanese is very strange, or you think we all are little fools......" Mu Xiu nodded as a matter of course: "Although this kind of unique tone is good as long as you like it, but what kind of situation is it?" ”
"Ah...... Woo...... My Japanese is the result of studying a lot of literature and TV programs, and I have even asked real Japanese people to guide me......"
Although the office workers in suits rushing by in the early morning shopping street in the early morning should not understand what they are saying, Lola feels that the hustle and bustle around her has turned into snickering laughter directed at her.
"Uh, who do you mean by the real Japanese?"
"That'...... The meow called Tsuchigomon Motoharu ......"
"I'm sorry, you may have misunderstood something, it's just a dangerous person who will take ** to let my godsister wear a maid costume, it's just an ordinary pervert...... Asia is not so fantastic. ”
Mu Xiu deliberately glanced at her with regretful eyes, shook his head and sighed.
"Actually...... There is such a thing! Worst...... Then I should hurry up and correct my mistakes! ”
The archbishop, who is extremely high in the whole world, is at first at a loss to explain, but the more he speaks, the more confused it becomes.
"No, I don't bother, why should I bother with the inconvenient language of a small country in the Far East!?"
Eventually, she screamed at herself with a sparkling liquid in the corners of her eyes.
The pigeons, resting on the road not far away, were all frightened and flew away. 2k reading web
