In the afternoon, the snow stopped, and a faint light fell in the gaps in the clouds. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The cold wind is sheltered by the high walls, and the park does not look cold. The evergreen trees emerge from the falling snow and show their colors tenaciously.

Unfortunately, no one watched.

Tomorrow is winter twilight, and there are no people on the streets now. In Notta's park, only Charles and Abraham were hanging out.

Abraham walked ahead, and Charles followed him. It's like going shopping when you're young, the teacher takes a step, Charles takes a step, the teacher stops, and the Charles stops.

Today, Charles had a rare holiday, so he specially helped Abraham apply for a travel permit, and went out with him to walk around the holy city.

"I remember when I was a child, my teacher used to tell me that as long as I was obedient, they would take me to the holy city when I grew up. "I thought you were lying to me, teacher." I didn't expect to be able to come to the Holy City with my teacher one day. ”

"Huh, did you find it?"

Abraham was stunned for a moment, and scratched his head a little embarrassed: "At that time...... I'm really lying to you. After all, I was poor, I didn't have much money, and the school didn't allow me to go far away. Actually, what I was thinking at the time was: if it really doesn't work, I'll borrow some money and take you to the Holy City Amusement Park in Avalon, so that it won't be a lie. ”

Charles couldn't help but laugh: "Actually, I think the Holy City Amusement Park is more fun than the Holy City now. Will the teacher like the Holy City?"

"I can't tell the difference. ”

Abraham shook his head, "I've always been sluggish, not as sharp as everyone else. I've always felt that all cities are the same, everyone's faces are actually the same, and there seem to be only a few things coming and going in each place.

The things that everyone worries about are also eating and sleeping.

Cities are the same, but the different ones are the wilderness, and the wilderness is different. For the beast, the wilderness of Anglo is not the same as the wilderness of the Holy City...... There is the sea in the wilderness of Avalon, and there are rivers and mountains in the wilderness of the Holy City, but they are all beautiful. ”

Charles was silent, but Abraham smiled.

"After a long time in the wilderness, I can't wash away the habits of the beast, and I haven't learned the rules well after so many years. In the past, I told Ye Zi that the purpose of interpreting the method was to understand some things, but now I feel that some things seem to be impossible for me to understand for the rest of my life. But it's not a big deal.

That's fine, Charles, there's no need to feel sorry for me. ”

Charles nodded.

"Is there anything that the teacher is not used to in the Holy City?"

"Isn't it all the same? Don't worry about me. Abraham walked ahead and looked back at Charles, "But what about you, Charles, are you really not going back to Anglo?"

"Well, I think the Holy City is not bad. ”

Charles nodded: "Mr. Constantine wants me to be his secretary, so that I can have a job here and be able to support myself, and maybe I can become a priest in the future." Teacher, you don't have to worry that I'll get drunk on the streets. ”

Abraham opened his mouth to speak, and finally, he shook his head helplessly and sighed.

"Before, I wanted to make you a scholar so that at least you wouldn't starve to death. But you're doing better than I thought, and the teacher can't help you anymore. ”

"Don't worry, teacher. ”

Charles hooked Abraham's shoulders, no big or small, as close as ever: "I will definitely go back to see you when I have time." When I fight in the holy city for a few years, I will definitely help you get the ****.

That way you will no longer be a sinner, you can go wherever you want, and you will not have to lie to your students because of the Holy City. ”

Abraham laughed and did not speak again.

The two men walked in silence on the snow.

After a long time, Abraham asked in a low voice, "Do you still have nightmares now?"

"No, it won't. ”

Charles smiled and shook his head, the faint pain on his forehead as if it were gone.

Along with those nightmares.

At the end of the year, the Winter Veil Festival.

It's the biggest festival of the year, and from early in the morning, the holy city is in a state of hustle and bustle. Lively parades and circuses take place throughout the city.

A bard from Burgundy, a circus with an exhibit of various exotic beasts, a clown with oil paint and a fire dancer with strong muscles on his upper body......

People from all over the world gather in this city, and ceremonial flowers continue to rise into the sky, setting off a sparkling light.

The whole city is immersed in revelry.

Today, all the Order's hospitals and pistonists take to the streets to treat the faithful free of charge and share God's grace with more people.

And the central square of the Holy City has been flooded since the morning.

Dense crowds gather here, resisting the urge to cheer and hustle and bustle, waiting quietly. Whether it is a high-ranking official or a commoner beggar, they are all in the same place at this moment, even if they are far away from each other, but before the gods, they are respectfully waiting for the arrival of the gospel.

Until noon, the divine light fell from the sky, and on the high platform on the side of the square, a figure dressed in holy white robe climbed the stairs.

Uncontrollable cheers and clamor sounded, and the crowd seemed to boil, rushing forward to see the sacred face.

On the high platform, the figure raised his hand slightly, signaling silence to the crowd.

In an instant, the noise was gone. The crowd ceased to be crowded, respectfully obeying the figure's silent commands, and waited quietly.

With the arrival of the members of the College of Cardinals, the man in white and crowned on the high platform raised his scepter, guarded by numerous statues of saints.

As a result, the shadow of his figure appeared in the sky, like a giant, looking down, and it was visible.

- The Red King!

This is God's only agent in this world, the Holy See, the Lord and Guardian of the Holy City, the Pope!

With a wave of his hand, divine light descended from the sky.

The light is like the dawn coming, full of freshness and vitality, and in the ethereal melody, the light of heaven falls on everyone's head, moisturizing things and silently driving away their stubborn diseases and pains, and bringing good news to the suffering masses.

Once a year, before the Pope's sermon, the Red King himself plays the Symphony of the Dawn to remove sickness and bless believers who come to receive the gospel.

"Grace! Grace!"

In the crowd, countless believers and monks burst into tears of excitement and fell to the ground in prayer, and the noisy voices converged to form the sound of a pious and neat hymn.

Under the leadership of the choir, countless people sang reverently, bathed in the light of dawn, and resounded throughout the Iron City.

At the front of the crowd, Ye Qingxuan carried Bai Xi and panted bitterly.

Although Bai Xi is not heavy, after carrying it for half an hour, there is really a kind of breathless pain. Although his physique is no longer what it used to be, he is still not good at this kind of strength work, especially in this kind of crowd.

"Bai Xi, I'll be angry if you pull my hair again!" Ye Qingxuan pinched her calf angrily, but Bai Xi grabbed his hair indifferently: "Cousin, be a little taller! I see the Pope! The Pope's sermon is about to begin!"

"Where's Charles, that bastard?"

Ye Qingxuan asked loudly, shaking Bai Xi unhappily: "Didn't he come with us, where did he go?"

"He's already gone!" Bai Xi shrieked excitedly, no matter how Ye Qingxuan shook it, he grabbed his hair and didn't let go: "He said that he hasn't seen the Destiny Stone Tablet yet......!

"I touched a fart! If you don't watch it sooner or later, you have to watch it now!"

Ye Qingxuan gritted his teeth and sighed: "Sure enough, I can't believe his words, I said that I could help with him, but he disappeared in the blink of an eye!"

"Shhh ”

Before he finished speaking, the surrounding believers all looked over and looked at him with harsh eyes: "The sermon of the Holy See is about to begin!"

In an instant, the square fell silent, and only the sound remained.

"Believers in God. ”

On the high platform, the white-robed Red King said in a solemn voice: "Six hundred and forty years ago, here, in the place where we are, it is the place where miracles are manifested according to the will of the gods!

It was here that the heavens and the earth bordered, and the heavens descended to the earth, and for this reason a light shone from here to shine on all generations, and for this joy was kindled there, and for this there was a song.

This is the birth of this sacred city!"

The sermon finally began.

But in the solemnity, in the crowd, an inconspicuous believer crowded to Ye Qingxuan's side and stuffed him with a note without a trace.

Ye Qingxuan frowned, unfolded the note, and only one line was written on it: Come to me.

The inscription is a strange wolf head badge.

Wolf flute?

Ye Qingxuan was stunned for a moment, looked around, and soon, he sensed the etheric fluctuation of the wolf flute, which was triggered but not triggered, just under the high platform. Ye Qingxuan looked over and saw the wolf flute in the heavily guarded aristocratic area under the high platform.

Not only the wolf flute, but also many familiar faces.

In the specially divided area, there are many prominent figures in the Holy City, and the envoys of various countries and the high-ranking officials of the Order are there. Even Ye Qingxuan saw Yunlou Qingshu standing in the corner, chatting happily with a certain cardinal.

Finding that Ye Qingxuan looked over, the wolf flute beckoned slightly.

Ye Qingxuan was stunned for a moment, put Bai Xi down, and after instructing Lola to take care of it secretly, he drilled through the crowd.

After showing the guards the Silent Mechanism's credentials, they were ushered inside and saw the Wolf Flute.

The wolf flute also looked angry: "You guy, we are so busy that we vomit blood, but you take the beautiful girl to shop relaxed and happy." ”

"Where do you see me relaxed?"

Ye Qingxuan rubbed his sore shoulders: "Looking for something to me?"

"Not me. ”

The wolf flute shook his head and moved out of the way: "Someone wants to see you." (To be continued.) )
