The holy hall is brightly lit and baptism is underway.

This is a marvellous building, built with incomprehensible symbolism and small distortions, and when you stand outside the baptismal hall, you may think that there is nothing more than a tall dome in front of you, but when you step inside, you will be amazed by the vast interior of the building, which can accommodate twenty people to gather in it without being empty, and millions of people to worship without looking crowded. That's right, the interior of the baptismal hall is changing, and the space will always be in a just right state here, no matter how many believers come in, it will prepare enough suitable places for you, "not rude to the gods because of emptiness, not to shame our lord because of crowding", this is the purpose of this temple in terms of random changes in space.

The Baptistery is a circular vaulted building with no columns or similar supports inside, except for a few heavy vines hanging from the high ceiling. The walls of the hall are covered with intricate drawings, and unlike the usual religious motifs, these murals do not depict the miracles of the gods or the pilgrimages of the devout believers, but all kinds of wild animals, plants, and humans, and these images represent the prosperity of life in the world, in fact, they include every life in the entire universe, even single-celled organisms - painted in a one-to-one ratio, in Lilina's words, anyway, I painted it, and you can't see it's a matter of eyes.

It sounds impossible to paint the images of all living beings in the universe on the walls of a hall, so these murals are the second magic of the baptismal hall: they don't all appear in front of your eyes, everyone who comes here sees different murals, only people who understand the nature of life more and respect the balance of nature will see more murals, and the more mysteries of the world can be comprehended, Lilina once clearly said in the canon, "He who witnesses 1,800 kinds of life in the highest place of baptism will receive eternal life" may be true, but no one has yet been able to confirm it, because according to the narration of Alexstrasa, the king of the Red Dragon NV, who once challenged this trial, the line is written under the mural of the 1,799th creature:

The following is visible only for replies.

No one can leave a handwriting on the walls of the Holy Land, so no one has yet been able to attain eternal life through this route.

In the center of the hall is the baptismal altar, which is a shallow "bowl" shaped altar carved from green crystal half a meter above the ground and a radius of 12 meters, in which Dàng is rippling with sparkling B lines, and in the center of the "bowl" stands a white sculpture several meters high, the image of the sculpture is a beautiful young man with long hair and waist, and the young NV holds a jug in his hand, and the holy water used for baptism is constantly gushing out of this jug and sprinkled in the shallow "bowl" below, which is easy to imagine. This sculpture represents the god of life: Lilina used divine power to make this sculpture in the form of a god, and I always thought it was one of the few good things that the mad girl did.

According to religious rituals, the baptized person needs to stand on the baptismal altar, that is, in the bowl-shaped altar with holy water, and also directly below the idol of the god NV, directly under the idol of the god NV, the holy water in the jug in the hands of the god of the NV directly "initiated", this process takes three minutes, and the miraculous thing is that the chosen person is not drenched - the priest who presides over the baptism will ask the baptized person a question every minute, and the latter must answer according to the true desire of his heart, Answering these questions correctly will save you from getting drenched, these questions are not necessarily related to religion, they are completely random things, and naturally there is no need to prepare the answers in advance, but the baptized person does not need to be nervous, only lying, procrastinating, and the answer is contrary to the teachings, and those questions are by no means too difficult.

The degree of dryness on the body after baptism is the most intuitive indicator of the strength of a believer's faith. Lilina? When you can stand under the test of holy water for seven days and still be dry—that's what the latest Bible says yesterday.

The holy place that gathers so many miracles, and the process is so solemn and complex and sacred baptism ceremony (which is rare in various religious activities of Jingle Clan), of course, it cannot be a privilege that every believer can accept, this kind of high-end baptism can only be carried out for those special people, such as racial leaders or heroes who created epics, etc., under normal circumstances, the life nv god believers in all worlds are very simplified baptism rituals, such as pressing the new unlucky eggs on chairs, The local priest held a kettle and threw it on the girl's head—that's what I thought.

Fina's baptism had reached the last step, and the soft and holy singing echoed in the air from all sides, and the slender young man standing on the baptismal table with a calm expression on his face was answering the last question posed by the priest, that is, Artemis: What do you think about the question about the nv child green chūn pox?

Fina thought for a second, and then replied honestly, "I don't know what to do." ”

A very appropriate answer: true, without hesitation, and without violating the doctrine, and thus the baptism was consummated.

I've seen this ending below, but the ending alone is enough to stun me.

"I say, where did you get this baptismal problem from?"

It took me half a minute to get the organs on my face back to work, and then I touched a solemn priest of Avalon in a god's robe, who bowed to me and replied succinctly, "Du Niang." ”

You know, now I'm going to beat up Lilina.

Probably because the embarrassed expression on my face was too obvious, the unknown priest standing next to him hurriedly remedied his own NV Pope: "Your Majesty, in fact, His Majesty the Pope has formalized this ceremony, and at the beginning, there will be a group of relatives and friends next to the baptized person when answering questions and an opportunity to call for help, but now they have been canceled......"

Because there are too many slots, I won't complain this time, okay?

At this moment, the baptism ceremony has ended, and Fina is walking down from the altar, Artemis, who is presiding over the ceremony next to her, smiles and helps Fina put on the green leaf xing needle that symbolizes the believer: "Congratulations, Fina, now that you have become a follower of the NV God, the blessing of the NV God will be with you - when she goes to work." ”

It's not easy to be a believer in Jingle Bell.

"Fina Artemis," I beckoned, squeezing through the cracks.

Artemis was stunned for a moment, and Fina gave me a question in a straight tone: "My friend, why are you here?" ”

If you don't punctuate it, you won't know that she is asking.

"I suddenly heard that you were going to join the church or something, so I came and took a look. What did Lilina tell you? ”

"Lilina told me that believing in the gods of the NV helps to improve common sense in society – something I've been deeply distressed about lately."

…… I believe that this kind of nonsense is common sense, low level, you fool with no common sense, Lilina, do you usually bully the simple Fina sauce like this?

"I really didn't expect this reason, Bishop Lilina just asked me to perform the ritual for this new sister," Artemiston made a subtle expression, and then scratched her hair, this action completely made her image of a clergyman who had been maintained for so long return to the state of the hot girl she was at the beginning, "But I think it's always good to have faith, especially if you join the NV Cult of God, we will take care of Fina-well, the Imperial Code will not prohibit the Imperial people from entering the Church, right?" Fina now seems to be the standard apostle. ”

"That's fine," I pouted, then reached into my pocket, "Clank, come out and see your new believer, Lilina just fooled over." ”

The little thing was grabbed out of my pocket holding my fingers, and her face seemed to be stained with the oil left over from the meal just now, Fina looked at the little thing for a moment, and then nodded mechanically: "Hello." ”

Xiao Bu tapped tiǎn tiǎn his fingers, and shouted softly: "Fina, it turns out that you also believe in jingle bells?" ”

This is the historical meeting between the NV god and her new believers, and once again, it is not easy for these devout believers around them.

"Well, this place is so big," the little thing I caught out of my pocket was like a young beast that had just left its nest, and after greeting Fina, she began to look around curiously, don't look at the name of an NV god, this little thing that has been with me all day long is the first time to come back to the baptism hall, but after a while, she found a new world, jumped on my shoulder with a click, pointed to the side and shouted, "Ah Jun Ah Jun, who is this fool holding the jar?" The water is flowing out."

There was silence all around, and Artemis was about to cry.

I shook my hand in front of Fina, who had a stiff expression, and said seriously: "Fina, it's too late to quit now......

I have no way to describe the atmosphere in which I and Fina were sent out, just a few minutes ago, the most serious black history in the history of the Cult of Life and God took place, and in front of at least a dozen bishops, more than a thousand god guards (Heroic Spirits), hundreds of high-ranking priests, and a head of the Empire, in the days to come, no matter when I recall, the sad faces of those heroic spirits today can jump into my mind.

It is said that since then, the doctrine of the Living NV God has clearly stipulated the new specifications of the NV God statue, and no matter what form the NV God statue is, it is required to put a bāngbāng sugar in the right hand, although it looks a bit nonsense, but at least this can prevent our NV God from admitting his mistake again...... Clank doesn't recognize anything else.

Fina's hut is in the middle of the village, next to Artemis's residence, as a half-bucket of water just turned into a Hiling Apostle, Fina was supposed to settle in Shadow City, but she seems to like the nature of Avalon more, so after completing the soul adjustment, she lived here, which is easy to understand, for the past hundreds of years, Fina has lived in an environment of steel throne and cold command hall, she almost forgot what the vibrant world world was like, Compared to the Shadow City that reminded her of the steel jungle, this picturesque world made the former NV king feel more comfortable.

"Friend, I learned to make tea, I hope you like it."

After letting me into the room, Fina got up to prepare her tea, and I looked around a little. Like most of the buildings in the village, Fina's house was a small two-story building, but only one floor was a place to live, and above the second floor was a prayer room and other religious symbols. In my sight, this not too big room was cleaned up by Fina very neatly, but it was also a little neat and tidy, except for the necessary furniture, I didn't see any decorations, and I could hardly tell that this was a place where NV children lived, although Zhilu Dao Fina lacked affection and lacked understanding of some common sense things, but she didn't have any personal preferences other than the necessities of life, which still surprised me.

I've seen where Sylvia lived, it's just as neat, the sluggish silver máo mole may be limited by her brainpower, and she doesn't usually have any personal hobbies, but at least she occasionally collects some of the latest candy boxes and puts them on the shelves, or designs some cards for children, but Fina seems to be more serious than her here.

"Black tea."

As I thought, a steaming cup of tea was placed in front of me, and Fina sat down across from me and began to stare at the side.

"Uh, what's wrong?"

I made this expressionless NV kid stare all over, and I wanted to ask her how she was doing, but it turned out that it was difficult to speak.

Lilina said that looking her friend Jiāo in the eye when talking to her friend Jiāo is a sign of politeness and honesty.

“…… She finally gave you a correct common sense, "I will increase the amount with my hand," but you still misunderstood...... Okay, actually, you can do it yourself, I just want to see how you've been doing these days, and you're still used to living in this world, right? ”

The corners of Fina's mouth made a very slight arc, as if she was going to smile: "Thank you for your concern, friend, I am very good here, everyone is very kind, people help each other, countless times better than the environment I once lived." ”

"Uh." I scratched my hair, but it was a little stuck, I thought about it before, and it turned out to flow with Fina Jiāo, and it was still difficult, this nv child who lacks feelings and has no common sense is definitely not a good object to chat with, any topic you start with her is destined to find no resonance, not to mention anything else, I even doubt that she knows what kind of feelings Lu Dao "satisfied" and "happy", under such a premise, can I still confirm the current situation of Fina's current life?

"Friend, your expression is distressed: the memory bank tells me that this expression means distressed, can I help you?"

"Alas," I sighed, giving up trying to find affection on Fina's face, and pulled Jingle Bell out of my pocket, "Little thing, I'm a little depressed, you sell a cute, right?" ”

"Ahh

Sure enough, he was bitten by the NV God in the next second.

"Friend, are you feeling difficult to flow with me?"

When I was busy dragging the jingle bell off my hand, Fina took the initiative to speak, and I don't know if it was my delusion, it seems...... She had a little apologetic look on her face.

"That's not what it meant, it's just ...... How can I say it, you have come from another world to a completely unfamiliar environment, and you don't have any relatives around you, so I want to care about you, I am a person who loves to be idle, and Artemis and they were also taken care of by me in the first place. ”

"Well," Fina nodded slowly, and then organized her words, "Friend, I can feel your heart, but I'm really sorry, I really don't know what expression Lu Dao should use to express the feelings in my heart, and I don't even know what the feelings in my heart mean by Lu Dao, I can only be sure of one thing, that is, I am now ......more 'happy' than I am on the Iron Throne, this is the first feeling I learned when I left those machines, I hope this can make you no longer bother, friend, I'm really sorry......"

Looking at the young man in front of me with a slight nervousness and panic in his eyes, but he didn't show it with an expression at all, I immediately waved my hand to stop her futile attempt, and a smile was already on my face: "Okay, maybe I understand what you mean, it's okay, I trained Pandora and you in a similar situation at the beginning...... Education is over, and it's good to know that you're happy, well, although life is a little boring. ”

I'm entangled in Fina's room again.,This ascetic-like environment.,It's really thanks to this mechanical girl who doesn't have any hobbies.,Just living freely can be very happy.,I hope that with the continuous contact with the people around her.,She can gradually find the human heart.,At least for now,,She can feel nervous because of my distress.,This is a huge progress in restoring people's hearts.,Artemis is really hard.。

"There's nothing else to do, the sisters of the mercury lamp came to play today, I'm afraid the family has made a bunch of doll heads upside down, I'm actually here to hide quietly."

After chatting with Fina for a few words, I finally told the truth, it is indeed a high-sounding statement to come here to observe the people's feelings, but in fact, I am more afraid of a nest of noisy roses, and the calm and dignified true red may be stabilized by Avena's black tea, Cangxingshi looks like an obedient child, but the guy who always has to talk is a super disaster, and there are completely baby-headed chickberries and action-oriented canaries...... Heaven have mercy on me, there are enough small people in the family, and now the Imperial Royal District should become a kindergarten class?

"Yes, Lilina told me that Lori is the most powerful creature in this world, because they are both nvxìng and underage, it seems to be true."

"How much common sense has she instilled in you," I muttered whimfully, "yes, I don't dare to go back until my sister finishes the town, let's talk about the carnival, how to say that you are also a former NV king, and you are also going to appear when the pan-galactic civilization community participates in the carnival......"
