The bearded man had just come out of the internal meeting of the high-ranking monks, and he was still dressed in the inconspicuous rag robe + coarse cloth shoes, looking like an ordinary old man who had just come out of the refugee pile, and he couldn't tell at all that this was a senior ascetic who could sit on an equal footing with the high-ranking bishops. In fact, at first Hao Ren had no idea of the hierarchy of these ascetics in the Church, but later he learned that these ascetics had a high position in the Church, not only directly responsible to the Pope, but also qualified to participate in the decision-making of the upper echelons of the Church if necessary—because their loyalty to the Goddess was unquestionable, and they possessed the best theological adaptability and could have the strongest spiritual resonance with the Goddess. The devout ascetics were regarded as the direct guards of the goddess, so the bearded man was also qualified to participate in the bishopric council.

However, Betsy doesn't have much concept in this regard, she has the impression that the bearded man is an approachable and nice gentleman, and he used to be her roommate for a while, so at this time, she stood up and said hello: "Ah, uncle, just broke up?" Would you like to have a bite to eat? ”

The bearded man nodded to Betsy with a smile, thanked the other party for his kindness, and then looked at Hao Ren and Ovrah: "Looks like you've already talked about it?" ”

"You mean the Tattoo Ceremony?" Hao Ren frowned, "What does your church think?" ”

"Of course, there are some religious ideas," the bearded man nodded calmly, "whether it is the edict left by the Pope, or your actions in several events, it is difficult not to associate you with the will of the Goddess. The High Bishops believe that it must be meaningful for the Gentiles to come into this world, and although you are not believers, the guidance of the Goddess has brought you here...... So the bishops hope that any of you will accept the ceremony of the sealing. ”

Hao Ren looked at the bearded man's eyes: "What do you think?" ”

"You can try. If you want to investigate the affairs of the Goddess, there is no doubt that you will be able to make a connection yourself. Let's be honest, though. I don't know how effective this is...... Our connection to the Goddess is not just a bloodline, it also requires devout faith and strong faith. Only those who truly revere the goddess in their hearts can hear her teachings, and you ......" The bearded man looked at Hao Ren with some embarrassment, "I always feel as if you don't even believe in your own gods." ”

Hao Renxin said that if he believed in Raven 12345, then he would have a ghost, when did that unreliable female neuropathy be credible, but he was still embarrassed to show it on his face, he just smiled dryly and waved his hand: "I understand, I understand." To be honest, I'm also interested in your tattooing ceremony, in fact, I wanted to try it the last time I came, but at the time I thought it was a ritual that only formal clergy can accept. I probably won't let an outsider use it for testing, so I'm embarrassed to say it. ”

Ovra was a little surprised: "Does that mean you agreed?" ”

"Wait, I still have to confirm with the above," Hao Ren waved his hand, "I'm still organized after all......"

He could still remember that he was a pope at this critical time, but it was obvious that he didn't realize how strict what he was going to participate in seemed to ordinary religious believers: the spokesperson of a god was trying to establish a connection with another god, and it was carried out through a religious ceremony, which was enough to scare normal believers, but he dared to discuss it with his own god in a single way......

Oprah is limited by the common sense of her own world. In fact, he didn't expect Hao Ren to agree happily at the beginning, so at this time, he looked at the other party as if he was looking at a rare creature, and the female marshal glared and asked the bearded man next to him: "...... This kind of thing...... Is it really something you can discuss with your own gods? ”

The bearded man didn't know how to explain it, so he could only stalk his neck and try to be strict: "...... The gods on his side can. ”

At this time, Hao Ren had already asked the number jù terminal to connect to the channel of Raven 12345. The other party's lazy voice sounded in his head: "Hao Ren? Dried eggs? ”

“…… You haven't woken up yet? ”

"Nonsense! You've gone away again, haven't you? Do you know the time difference? Raven 12345's voice is still so intimate," he said. ”

Hao Ren hurriedly straightened his face: "That's the case, I'm going to experience the initiation ceremony of another god here......"

"Poof—"

Hao Ren heard a jumbled voice in his spirit. Then the raven 12345's hundredfold voice resounded in his mind: "?!" The old lady treats you well, how can you say that you will change jobs if you change jobs?! You grabbed food with your daughter? ”

Hao Ren realized that there was something wrong with his statement, and quickly explained it. Raven 12345 exhaled: "Whew...... What a big deal I have to do, you kind of pagan who counts as a. Aren't you just doing a radio communication test, go ahead, go ahead? ”

Then the goddess sister was still reading on the other side: "Scare the old lady, I said in my heart that throughout the history of the three major god systems for hundreds of millions of years, today I met a pope who wanted to resign, or called God...... I almost thought I was going to make those grandchildren headline again...... it? Didn't hang up? ”

Then the psychic connection was hung up in a hurry.

Lily looked at Hao Ren's face curiously, and asked cautiously, "Landlord, Host, Sister Goddess wants to give you a blessing?" ”

Hao Ren turned his head and couldn't laugh or cry: "Let me tell you, I may not be able to trust her in my life......"

Lily: "? ”

After a short period of preparation, Hao Ren and the bearded man went to the small monastery located in the floating city. The Aerial Fortress was designed entirely in the shape of a military town, so that it contained not only barracks and school grounds, but also ecclesiastical facilities such as monasteries, which, despite its small size, were large enough for most daily tasks.

Hao Ren didn't feel anything about the tattooing ritual - perhaps to the locals of Holletta, it was a sacred and glorious blessing process, a manifestation of the goddess's grace on mortals, but in Hao Ren's eyes, it was just an ordinary experiment, no different from the projects he was doing in the ship's real room. In fact, even without the help of the bearded man, he planned to try to "inoculate" the source blood himself on the spaceship to see what he could hear.

Anyway, he had a sample of the source blood in his hand, a professional book of the Radiant Sect, and a complete medical equipment—even if there was a small rejection, he didn't have to worry.

Of course, it is better now, with the help of religious professionals, the success rate should be much higher.

"How do I feel you're not nervous at all?" Ovra also came over to watch, and she was puzzled by Hao Ren's reaction from beginning to end, "and there was no hesitation or resistance...... Aren't you following another god? I heard from the master about your world. ”

Hao Ren replied casually while watching the bearded man prepare incense and source blood containers not far away: "It's not a problem, in our world, which child doesn't poke the vaccine more than a dozen times after birth." ”

Obra was shocked: "Your world is so fanatical about religion?!" ”

That's the cultural difference.

Hao Ren turned his head to look around, and found that apart from his friends, the only Radiant Cultists on the scene were Bearded and Archbishop Auburn. He was very curious: "Doesn't this ceremony require a lot of people?" I still have to recite the Sutra for a long time or something...... How did you get to me in an abridged version? ”

"Could it be that you really plan to join the church?" The bearded man laughed gently, "Rituals such as chanting are on the one hand to subconsciously enhance the spiritual connection of believers to the goddess, and on the other hand, they are admonitions for initiation, but you are just here to test the connection of the source blood, so you can skip those parts." And let's be honest...... I don't think that reciting a few prayers to you will make you believe in our goddess. ”

Elizabeth muttered, "It's not like a fanatic should say." ”

"We are devout believers, but the Goddess forbids us to be fanatical," Archbishop Auburn said with a straight face, he, the temporary vicarious pope, did not need to personally participate in this kind of ritual, but it was the first time that a pagan was allowed to receive the seal since the establishment of the Radiance Sect, and out of many considerations, and as the person responsible for personally approving this matter, he came to personally supervise it, "The goddess taught us that we should be wary of uncontrollable extreme thoughts, uncontrollable, extreme, and should be abandoned. God's love should be conveyed gently to the world, not scorched like the sun. ”

"Well, I like that," Elizabeth crossed her arms and nodded like a little adult, "the human beings of our world all believe in a lot of messy gods of light, creation gods, or whatever, and each one is more fanatical than the other, as if they are afraid that others will not know that their gods are powerful...... At first glance, it is a weak heart. ”

The bearded man lit incense with the effect of enhancing spiritual power, and came to Hao Ren's side with the strange container containing the source blood: "Are you ready to listen to the voice of the goddess?" ”

"Come on—I hope she'll tell me something."

(I don't know if I can get more monthly passes in the last few hours, so if you still have a ticket in hand, just vote!) It's going to expire anyway. (To be continued......)
