Chapter 571: Priest

Only Kenson, He Dong and Mo Xingkui know the secret. A strong sense of gratitude dominates the brain to convert, and although the three of them are only "quasi-worker bees", the sense of obedience is no less than that of real "worker bees". Su Hao was not busy injecting blood into the other members of the two squads, but asked Mo Xingkui to transfer the fifty-seventh squad to the station next to the twenty-second squad. In this way, in the eyes of outsiders, the relationship between the two squads is harmonious. But in reality, the merger has already been completed.

Su Hao took a small amount of blood from each of the three "quasi-worker bees". Although it is a fluid, cellular memory is no less than the muscle itself. Only in this way will Su Hao not arouse suspicion.

For the world he is currently in, Su Hao understands more and more clearly.

However, there are still some parts that he cannot understand and are full of doubts.

Among them, the most incomprehensible thing for Su Hao is that there are no planes in this world?

The Empire has powerful magnetic-powered cannons, flexible and convenient magnetic hovercars, and even heavily armored and powerful magnetic vehicles. There is no doubt that in terms of the conversion and use of energy, the Third World has far exceeded the time and space where Su Hao was originally located. But herein lies the problem: although the Empire of Man has evolved beyond the basics of electricity to more advanced magnetic and hedron energy sources, and has a wide variety of ground locomotion machinery, it has only a huge flaw in aviation.

Su Hao had never seen a magnetic airship. From the memories of Kenson, Mo Xingkui and others, he "saw" an incomparably large spindle-shaped object. The airship is exceptionally sturdy, able to withstand enormous voltages and currents, and can move freely even in stormy weather. However, even this aerial monster is still forced by the threat of hurricanes and has to be grounded in extremely bad weather.

searched through the cellular memories of the three people, and Su Hao did not find anything related to space and the universe. What puzzled him especially was that the human beings in the third stage world did not seem to have the concept of "earth". Whether it is Kensen, He Dong or Mo Xingkui, they all believe that the continent under their feet is isolated, but divided into two pieces by an invisible line. That side belongs to the creatures of darkness, and this side belongs to the humans.

It's illogical.

If it's flat, why is there day and night?

Why is there an alternation of cold and warm?

Also, what is that sky above us?

Su Hao was puzzled by this, but it was not without gain.

In the cellular memory of Mo Xingkui and others, he found a sentence with obscure meaning.

"Only when light and darkness are completely fused will divine grace truly descend upon the earth."

……

Lille and Bella are married.

This has been their wish for many years. The other three members of Fifty-Seven knew the secret between Lille and Bella, but none of them broke it. The reason is simple: mercenaries rarely look for a mate among their peers. At best, it's a one-night stand, or a physiological need for each other. For both men and women, the choice of marriage partner is in a profession other than mercenary. After all, it is much better for one person to die than for both. What's more, every second on the battlefield is full of dangers. At that time, I can't take care of myself, where can I take care of others?

Lille and Bella were facilitated by Kenson and Mo Xingkui, among others. For them, Mo Xingkui is the equivalent of a father and brother, and Kenson is also a powerful figure among the mercenaries. There is another important factor, that is, Su Hao. His magical medical skills were breathtaking, and Lil and Bella saw the dying Mo Xingkui come back to life. In their opinion, as long as there is a doctor like Su Hao in the team, it means that life is guaranteed.

Getting married becomes a matter of course.

The marriage of mercenaries is a big event, especially in a remote and sparsely populated place like Konoha Town, when there is a festival, there is nothing more joyful than the wedding. Of course, tens of thousands of people in the town attending the wedding at the same time are certainly not realistic. Lille and Bella also don't have much money for extra expenses. Traditionally, weddings were held at the town's church, and the children were responsible for spreading the word quickly. Residents and mercenaries are inherently interdependent in order to survive in such a marginal area, so naturally they don't care about anything. If you wish, you can bring a portion of your home-cooked food and place it on the table outside the church. It's the equivalent of a wedding ceremony, where you can freely try the food brought by other people, such as pies, sweets, grilled meats, bibimbap, vegetable salad, or something chic and tasty. The bride and groom are usually in charge of the drinks, and for financial reasons, perhaps just a small glass for everyone attending the wedding. But the number doesn't matter, what matters is that they all want to be blessed and people can also take the opportunity to be more happy.

Su Hao has always wanted to know more about the details of the third stage world. Lille and Bella's wedding is the perfect opportunity. With the dual identity of a bystander and an actual participant, Su Hao was busy with Lille with interest. They went in and out of the various bars, asking about the price of beer, wine and brandy. Whenever Lille argued with the bar owners and wanted to make the price cheaper, Su Hao always stood quietly by the side, smiling at the qiē.

The language system of the third stage world is similar to that of the earth. To be precise, it should be derived from the basic pronunciation of Chinese, and the grammar and structure are very similar to Chinese's language system. Su Hao was surprised at first, he didn't understand why this was happening? Especially when I was in Redstone City, I developed a deeper understanding of the local language. Su Hao found that the language here was also mixed with some elements similar to the English of the earth. For example, the word "we", the pronunciation of the third stage world is somewhat biased towards the English "WE", but if it is a more formal occasion, the pronunciation is slow, and when it does not need to be so fast, it sounds like the Chinese "we" with a thick nasal sound and quite vague. ”

As for writing, this is another area that Su Hao finds incredible.

It is a script that is very similar to ancient Chinese, but with significant differences. There are side strokes and font frame structures, but they are not derived from Japanese or Korean on the earth, but have great similarities with Chinese, but are completely different from the alternative zài.

For example, the word "Heaven", the way the world is written in the third stage, the top horizontal becomes an "X". Another example is the character "wood", in the third stage of the world, the middle stroke is canceled, and the left and right sides of the bottom are reversed upward, turning it into a special glyph that extends diagonally.

Humans in the Third World are very particular about the stroke of the pen when writing, which is exactly the same as that of the earth. They also derived a very distinctive calligraphic aesthetic. However, there are not many people who can really write well, although Kenson and Mo Xingkui are both mercenary captains, they are a mess in terms of writing. In the school in the town, Su Hao saw teachers writing on the blackboard several times. Someone writes very well and really does the glyphs picturesquely.

For Su Hao, the residents of Konoha Town have quickly become familiar with it.

With examples like Kenson and Mo Xingkui, many of the injured mercenaries regarded Su Hao as the best doctor here. In fact, Su Hao has undergone several surgeries in a row, with a 100% success rate, and the injured people who have been treated obviously feel the difference between Su Hao and Butcher Seth. This handsome young man with a little melancholy in it is a skilled doctor, and he doesn't die like that bastard Seth for money. Su Hao also did not clearly mark the price, and he was also casual with the other party, and he would receive as much as he could. But he will never bury his words in his heart, but smile at everyone cheerfully.

There is no shortage of medicines in Konoha Town, but there is a lack of doctors who are familiar with pharmacology and guide patients in their rational use. Most of the residents here are in good health, and even colds and other illnesses are rare. Due to the perennial cold, many people suffer from rheumatism, and Su Hao's advice is also very simple: keep warm, and if you are fine, it is best not to use antibiotics without authorization. Although it was only a trivial reminder, because of this verbal care, people quickly accepted Su Hao's deposit, and quickly changed their impression of this strange mercenary.

Because of these, when Su Hao accompanied Lille to bargain in the bar, he was naturally respected by many people.

This is already the fourth bar that Lille has walked into.

The boss is a middle-aged man with a gloomy expression, only his left eye remains. During the day, there were almost no customers in the bar, so Su Hao and Lille sat directly at the bar, and the boss stood alone behind the counter wiping the freshly washed cups. Seeing the two people coming in, they didn't speak, just nodded casually, which was regarded as a greeting.

Although the brown-haired man was not yet thirty years old, Lille's skin had loosened and wrinkled due to the ravages of the weather, and he looked older than his age.

"Hey! Austin, I'm getting married. ”

Mercenaries are always very direct in their speech, and so is Lille. He was obviously familiar with the bar owner, but he had been arguing with others about the price before, and seemed a little listless.

"You're not the first person to tell me the news."

Austin, the bar owner with a gloomy expression, had a somewhat cold attitude and wiped his glass unhurriedly. He raised his head and looked at Su Hao, who was sitting next to Lille with one eye, his tense face suddenly became relaxed, revealing a very rare smile. He stopped what he was doing, picked up a glass that had just been wiped, turned around and picked up a bottle of whiskey from the wine cabinet in the back, pulled the cork hard, turned around, and said to Su Hao in a hoarse voice: "Doctor, I have to ask you for a drink." ”

Su Hao hurriedly raised his hand and made a gesture to cover the mouth of the cup. Looking at Austin, who didn't quite understand, Su Hao smiled: "Give me a glass of water!" I'm only walking around with Lille for the time being, and maybe there will be a patient waiting for me when I get back. At least during the day, I have to stay awake. ”

Austin no longer insisted. He put down the whiskey in his hand and nodded his head in understanding and satisfaction, his expression was equally cold, but his eyes were a little more respectful: "You are a good person. All right! I'll save this cup for you for the time being, and come over whenever you want to drink it. Guests like you are always welcome here. ”

After a pause, Austin turned his eyes to Lille, and his tone became a little teasing: "You guy with happiness written all over his face, say, what's the matter with me?" ”

Lille was not angry at Austin's neglect. In the previous taverns, he had already felt the same treatment as before. For Su Hao to get preferential treatment, Lil was a little envious, but he was also very happy to have such a person by his side. He took out a list full of drinks from his jacket pocket, spread it out, handed it to Austin, and said seriously, "I'm getting married, can you give me some discounts?" ”

Austen's one-eyed gaze was sharp, he lowered his head, carefully looked at the items on the list, then smiled strangely, handed the list back to Lille, leaned against the wine cabinet behind him with his arms folded, and said meaningfully, "Am I the first person you have ever looked for?" The second? Or the third? ”

Of course, Lille could understand the subtext of the other party's words, and shrugged his shoulders helplessly: "You are the fourth." ”

Austin's thin face showed a rather amused expression, but also a faint, good-natured sneer: "You should have gotten the same answer from the previous people." Konoha Town is small and not a bustling big city. Our prices are all the same, and it's impossible to compromise too much. I know what you think, and I understand your actual situation. If I'm not mistaken, the biggest discount they give you should be 15 percent, right? ”

Lille hesitated for a few seconds and nodded reluctantly.

"That's right."

Austin let go of his arm, picked up the rag again to wipe the wine glass, and said lightly, "I'm the same price." ”

After a moment, he added: "No matter who you ask, no matter which bar you go to, the price is actually the same." I know you want to save money to make your wedding better, maybe you want to buy a nice gift for Bella, but that's the way it is, it's not that we won't take care of you, it's that the price has reached the bottom line. Further down, it's not help, it's a free giveaway. ”

Lille was a little annoyed. He slowly crumpled the list in his hand, crumpled it vigorously in the palm of his hand, and muttered unhappily, "I knew it would be like this." All right! It's that I think too much and think things too well. ”

"Getting married isn't as easy as you think."

Austen lectured Lille in the tone of a passer-by: "You want too much wine. If you switch to the inner domain of the empire, the operator will definitely like a big customer like you, and the price will be cheaper. But you forget, the trade with the outside world can only be considered average. Wine, in particular, had to be shipped from other places. Everyone is an acquaintance, and there is no need for anyone to deceive you about such things. We will help whoever we can, but for this is beyond our ability, we definitely can't. ”

Su Hao sat next to him and smiled, and patted Lille on the shoulder in a friendly way: "You can prepare more juice and broth, that thing is easy to get, and it doesn't cost anything, and children and the elderly like it very much." Not everyone likes to drink, so there's no need to get everyone drunk. Bella definitely wanted a lively and happy wedding, not to look out and be full of drunks and turn the whole town into stinky vomit. ”

Austin gave Su Hao a thumbs up and echoed approvingly: "In this matter, you should listen to the doctor's opinion." He is a professional. Look at this list you've made, it's big enough to get everybody drunk. If I were you, I would reduce the number of items and numbers on the list by two-thirds. Listen to Lille, getting married is a big deal. It's definitely not as simple as carrying a woman to bed. You will have children, maybe more than one. You need to prepare some money, and the child will be the creditor of your debts in your previous life. You will find that he has a bigger appetite than you, and he will compete with you for the same woman in the name of "mother". You have to think about those aspects, and that's the point. If you're willing to do what I say, I can give you another discount. ”

Lille was a little depressed, but he had to admit that Austen's construction was quite pertinent, and he had more or less achieved his goal. After a few minutes of rambling, Lille got up from his chair and greeted Austin, intending to leave.

The cold-faced barkeeper asked, "Where are you going now?" ”

Lille's arm had already put on Su Hao's shoulder, walked towards the door, tilted his head, and responded casually: "Go to the church, there is still a lot of preparation to be done." ”

……

The priest was a middle-aged man in his fifties, and his clothes were difficult to be simple, but they were clean. His hair was neatly trimmed, the beard on his cheeks should have been shaved in the morning, his eyes were deep, and his clothes did not have the most common religious cross on earth, but he had an extremely intricate mass pattern, which was said to belong to the royal coat of arms.

In the third phase, the world also has Mass, but the time is not limited to every weekend. The religious system here is very liberal and does not require everyone to be religious. When Su Ho and Lille walked into the church, there were only a few people praying in the empty hall. One of them, an acquaintance of Lille's, greeted him with the same smile.

Even the most noble person can become ordinary in a place like Konoha Town. The priest came down from the pulpit, heard Lille's intentions, and was very pleased to grant his request for a wedding in the church. After a brief greeting, the priest's attention also shifted to Su Hao.

"Nice to meet you, doctor. You've become a legend here. Maybe one day, I will have to beg for your care because of an injury. Hehe! Although the emperor's light shines on the earth, there is always a place where it is obscured by the dark shadows. ”

In the third stage, there are no gods in the world, and the supreme deity of religious belief is the emperor himself. This is very similar to the Holy See founded by Meng Qi when he was on the Red Dragon Planet.

Looking at the sturdy body in front of him, not so much a priest as a warrior, Su Hao also smiled: "We all have our own capabilities. Especially when it comes to communicating with the Emperor's radiance, I am clearly not as good as you. Despite its remote location, we still enjoy the protection of the Emperor, don't we? ”
