Chapter 332: Persuasion

Not long after walking out of the station, Li Xing and his party walked around the streets, and the so-called preaching of the archbishop could be heard on the radio almost everywhere: "O son of God born in this land, as long as you pray and believe, you can be redeemed, and the sun is ......."

After a few girls heard these god-like contents, Saya first said disdainfully: "It's all similar to those boring faith liars, is this little trick trying to deceive people?" ”

"Yes, Ah Xing, does anyone really believe in this kind of thing?" Zhidai also looked at Li Xing and asked, she also thought that these words were too old-fashioned, and she knew that she was lying when she heard it.

"This is not the afterlife, although there is alchemy, but the people in this area live in the same way as the people of the European Middle Ages, most people in this era need faith, and as a border city with frequent wars, in order to seek psychological comfort, even such a boring scam will be believed by a large number of people."

Because of Charles's commission, Li Xing first needed to find Charles's friend, after all, he also accepted the other party's request, so it still took effort to complete.

The people here seem to be a little xenophobic and don't trust people from other places, which is also an inherent characteristic of border cities or small towns, but under the effect of the banknotes in Li Xing's hands, some people still took the initiative to provide Li Xing with guidance services. After turning around, Li Xing and his entourage came to the front of a rather dilapidated looking house.

"This should be it!" Li Xing looked around carefully, and then stepped forward and gently knocked on the wooden door of the room.

"Who?" An old female voice came from inside the house.

"Hello, is Mark Thomas at home?" Li Xing asked directly.

"Oh. You wait. The other party answered, and then opened the door. Immediately, Li Xing saw an old lady with a rickety body, white hair, and a deep wrinkle on her face, who looked to be 7 or 80 years old, and walked out. Looking at Li Xing and his entourage, he asked with some hesitation, "Who are you?" ”

Although the old lady was a little flustered because there were more people, she felt a lot more relieved to see that Miyu and the others were all young and beautiful girls.

"Hello, we were asked by a friend of Mark to come and see how he is doing, is he at home?" Li Xing could see that the other party's ears were no longer very sensitive, so he slowed down the speed of his speech.

"Oh, I'm sorry. My grandson is not at home now, or you should come in first and wait, maybe he will be back in a while. ”

"Then excuse me!" Li Xing glanced at Nan Lixiang who was standing beside him and walked into the room one after another. In an instant, the vision of the two of them dimmed, and then a smell of corruption came from the room into the nostrils of the two, and then the messy room appeared in the eyes of the two.

"Laugh, the family has been like this since Mary died." The old lady explained when she saw the house, and then stepped aside to pour water for a few people.

"Don't bother. We just came over to see how Mark was doing, and since he wasn't home we didn't bother. Do you know where to find him, though? Seeing that the other party's movements were not very convenient, Li Xing hurriedly stopped the old lady and said.

"Hey, if you're looking for Mark. Go to the cathedral, where he is supposed to pray. The old lady also knew that the situation at home was not forced, and opened her mouth to point out where Mark was going for the two.

"That's good. We're going to go over and take a look, it's really disturbing. Li Xing nodded. He walked out of the room with Tomoyo and walked towards the cathedral.

"It's so pathetic." Tomoyo said with some sympathy.

Li Xing on the side was noncommittal and could become Charles's friend. At least he is an alchemist, and even if an ordinary alchemist can't live a luxurious life, it's a very simple thing to mix a well-off, but now this guy's home has become like this, obviously all the money on this mark is contributed to the so-called archbishop who can resurrect people.

For such a thing, Li Xing generally only thinks that the other party deserves it, and will not have the slightest pity, so he said lightly, "You still think about what Mark will say when you see it later, that is the root of solving their family's situation." ”

The five of them arrived at the cathedral together, but found it empty, and the two then walked out of the cathedral and grabbed a passer-by and asked where Mark was.

Fortunately, Mark is still famous in this place, and under the guidance of the other party, Li Xing spent a lot of effort and found Mark in a tavern.

"Hello, are you Mark Thomas?" Li Xing went straight to Mark's side and sat down, raised his hand and asked the owner of the bar for a beer.

"Yes, you are." Mark looked up at Li Xing when he heard this, so that Li Xing could clearly understand Mark's appearance, his eyes were blank, his cheeks were thin, his face was full of scum, coupled with his messy short hair and a gray vest with some water stains on his body, how decadent he looked, I am afraid that this is the reason why Charles asked Li Xing to visit.

"My name is Li Xing, and I am a friend of Charles, and I came to see you at his request. But I didn't expect you to turn into this, and I doubt that Charles would throw a punch at you when he saw you. Looking Mark up and down, Li Xing thought of the muscular Charles and said.

"Charles, thank him for me. But it didn't matter, I felt like the whole world had abandoned me without Mary. He first smiled at Li Xing, and then said. But when he said Mary, he was already crying, and tears were in his eyes.

"Then have you ever thought about your grandma, are you worthy of your grandma like this? An old man of such an age lives in that kind of house, can you bear it? Miwa suddenly stepped forward and said to Mark.

"Grandma...... "Hmmm," Mark cried even more sadly.

"Don't worry, Mark, just pray to God, and your Mary will surely be resurrected." At this time, the bartender, who was attracted by the cry, walked up to Mark's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said.

"Do you believe it? Mark. Li Xing glanced at the bartender and didn't refute, but stared at Mark and asked.

"Woo......" Mark just cried, not believing or saying no belief. But the bartender next to him was a little unhappy, glared at Li Xing angrily and said, "What do you mean." ”

"Nothing." Li Xing shrugged his shoulders, got up and patted Mark's shoulder and said, "As far as I know, in alchemy, there are no examples of people being resurrected at all, and there are many people who have been refined into monsters. As for God! Hmph, Mark, think about it yourself. It's okay to go back and see your grandma, I'm so old and I have to worry about you. (To be continued.) )
