Chapter 255: Go to the church
Pale Paul carried a large backpack and a shotgun into the palatial church, the so-called most dangerous place is the safest place, unlike the legend that the world imagined that the demons did not dare to enter the church, the demons were not afraid of the so-called cross and holy water, and even for the demons to mix in the priest and pray in the church there is no problem. This old and prosperous church is called St. John's Cathedral.
The Cathedral of St. John was built in 1573 at the expense of La Cassirer, the chief of the Order of Knights, in order to enable Valletta to completely replace the capital city of Bergu. The church was completed in 1578, marking the official completion of the Order's relocation from Bergu to Valletta. It was enlarged in the 18th century. St. John's Cathedral, located on the Northwest Side of Manhattan in New York City, is currently the largest Gothic cathedral in the world. The construction of this Anglican church began in 1892, but it was suspended for 41 years before resuming construction in 1982. The church is two-thirds of the way built, and construction is still underway. The church builders were joined by young people who were unemployed in the vicinity of the church, who were specially trained to cut the stone, the building material of the church, using traditional techniques.
As a famous building in New York City, St. John's Cathedral attracts thousands of visitors every day, reaching 500,000 visitors a year. Every Christmas, the church holds two grand prayer ceremonies, each attended by nearly 5,000 people. The church is also home to a number of priceless art treasures. And with the arrival of the Seraphic Angel on earth, every day in front of the Cathedral of St. John John there is a bustling scene of traffic, a sea of people, people who come here come to pray, some to be baptized, some to receive the Bible and silver bullets, but without exception, these people who come to the church will donate to the church, and they are very generous, even ordinary citizens will donate thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars at a time.
Countless people can't even squeeze into the church, but fortunately, Paul has the Demon Hunter badge in his hand to confirm his identity, and he didn't line up at all after wearing this badge on his body, and he can go in directly by squeezing through the crowd, which can be regarded as a privilege given to the "Demon Hunter", after all, not everyone has the courage to dare to fight with demons with almost useless guns, you must know that any demon on the average line is not afraid of the damage of this firearm, of course, if it is the kind that is seriously injured and dying, then it has to be counted separately.
He was greeted by a chubby, bald priest with a professional smile on his chubby face: "Hey, welcome to St. John's Cathedral, this gentleman is an experienced witcher at first glance, do you need a brand new silver bullet? Because of the recent increase in the number of devout believers in Christianity, churches across New York have gradually begun to expand their plans, and the expansion naturally requires more people to receive believers who come to visit, so the fat priest, who was originally a businessman, immediately saw the opportunity, he immediately decided to communicate with the bishop, and became a new priest to usher in countless new income for the church.
Even if he has a pious faith, but the nature of the businessman can not be concealed, although he did not mention a word, but after such a cordial hospitality, he only needs to obediently mention that the church needs your donations to expand recently, and the church is also very short of money, if you don't plan to donate after such an obvious prompt, he will "casually" mention a certain Seraphic Angel who came to the world, although it is just a tiger skin, but rather believe it or not, in this case you have to believe it if you don't believe it.
"Give me a few more magazines with silver bullets, a small cross, and a Bible. Paul planned to take these props out of the city, and successfully deceived the guards guarding the city, now New York City has been fully martial law, in this case people are not producing, although there will be no shortage of food in New York City for a short time, but for a long time, this kind of national prayer will soon appear dead people, and even slowly evolve into a terrifying environment of cannibalism, for that Seraph, as long as you take away the souls of the believers, there is no difference at all whether those believers are dead or alive, and even if they die, it is better to take them away, and if he continues to stay, he seriously doubts that he will be eaten in the future。
"Oh, by the way, you don't have anything to eat here, I've been patrolling the sewers for half a day, and although I changed my clothes to avoid causing discomfort to my brothers (in fact, I swallowed it in my mouth and cleaned it like a washing machine), but my stomach was already hungry. Paul didn't mind eating some human food, although the energy provided by this food was limited, but it was okay to relieve hunger a little, and he planned to eat the processed meat in his backpack slowly on the road, after all, who knows if there would be such a good hunting opportunity on the road.
"Of course, we have here the best sacrament (bread and wine) for you to enjoy, everyone is a believer in the Lord, we are all brothers and sisters, I will prepare what you want immediately, you don't have to be polite to us, we are all family. The fat priest smiled more amiably as he watched Paul take out $30,000 or 40,000 from his pocket.
The food on the sacrament can be divided into Holy Communion and Holy Blood, respectively. According to the tradition of the Church, only bread can be used for consecration and no other materials. But there is a slight difference in the use of Eucharistic materials in the Eastern and Western Churches: the Latin Church in the West made the Eucharist from unleavened bread, and the Greek Church in the East made the Eucharist from fermented bread, but both are valid and have become a habit in the course of history, which cannot be changed at will.
The second material of the Eucharist is wine, which is a natural wine made from wine. Because Jesus Christ used this wine in His supper, the Church will do the same in the Eucharist. In the Eucharist, both ingredients must be used at the same time, consecrated with wheat bread to become the Holy Body of Jesus Christ, and consecrated with wine to become the Holy Blood of Jesus Christ. But there is the body of Jesus in the form of wine, and the blood of Jesus in the form of face.
Although it stands to reason that before eating the sacrament, it is necessary to fast for a period of time, and before receiving the sacrament, the believer also needs to make a cross, bow to the icon, sing a hymn, and then the priest delivers the sacrament to the believer's mouth, but in fact, as long as there is money, it is easy to say, not to mention that Paul did not really give the sacrament, he was just hungry.
The sacrament was soon brought by a nun, and there was a lot of butter bread and milk on the plate in addition to a little symbolic sacrament, and the main reason for using the sacrament was to appear solemn, in fact, Paul could only eat a little communion (after all, there were so many believers who asked for the sacrament during this time that it exploded), and the main thing for him to eat was bread.
Paul did not choose to gobble up unseemly, but began to eat with the grace of a nobleman, and for him, the greatest significance of Paul's skin was that he learned aristocratic etiquette.
