Chapter 142: Spherical Cathedral
"Hey, what are you doing, let me go!" It wasn't until he walked out of the two streets that Li Shark pretended to say: "I'll go by myself, don't pull me! Go marry your Xiaoxue, stay with me as a beggar and lose more share!"
Hearing this, Su Ze stopped, grabbed Li Shark's shoulders and looked at him, and then asked extremely seriously, "Brother Li, are we friends?"
"Huh?" Li Shark was stunned for a moment, looked at Su Ze with a serious look, and nodded blankly for a while, "Ah." ”
After receiving an affirmative reply, Su Ze gradually let go of his hands and said calmly: "You are the first friend I have made since I left the village, so I will not allow anyone to look down on you." ”
I don't know if it's because I have some feelings for Su Ze in my heart, every word Su Ze has said recently, Li Sha sounds like a confession.
But just when her girl's heart fawn collided, Qiuqiu stuck to Su Ze's ear and said, "Su Ze, I want Xiaoxue!"
Su Ze grabbed the ball in his hand, looked into its eyes and asked, "Xiaoxue, or Xiaomeng?"
Faced with this kind of "your mother and your daughter-in-law fell into the water together, who will you save first?", Qiuqiu's little brain was about to boil, and it took a long time to say tentatively: "Xiaomeng?"
"Then don't think about Han Xue anymore. After leveling the ball, Su Zecai looked at Li Sha, who was immersed in shyness on the side, and asked, "Brother Li, where are you going now?"
"Uh...... Why don't you go to the auction house and have a look?" In order not to let Su Ze find his blush, Li Shark took the lead and walked to the north, saying as he walked: "I always said that I would go to the auction house to have a look, but it never worked. But then again, with the two of us having this money, I'm afraid we don't even have the qualifications to bid, so we can only sit in the back row and see for a long time. ”
More than 600 years ago, when the human race was still living in the gap between gods and demons, the status of religion was actually far superior to that of the royal family, and even such a major event as the succession of the king had to be handed over by the pope himself, so that the legitimacy of the new king could be recognized. Religion is embraced not only by the doctrine of heaven and hell, but more importantly by the fact that the Pope has designated the last day of the week as Sunday, a day on which the toiling masses can rightly strike and rest.
On Sunday, even the lowliest slaves could stop their work and kneel on the ground to worship the supreme god in their hearts. Even if they don't know a single word, they don't know which god can take them to heaven, and they don't even know the name of the almighty god, but even if they can rest for a day, they will willingly accept the guidance of religion.
After briefly explaining the origin of Sunday to Su Ze, Li Shark returned to the topic, "Now that the gods and demons are gone, the churches of various countries have become decorations, the small churches have been overturned and expanded, and the cathedral has been renovated and reused, and there is only one Falling God Tower left in our Panda City, and the two largest churches that used to be the current City Lord's Consulate and the venue of the Imperial Auction House Panda City Branch." ”
However, although the religion has disappeared, the tradition of the Sunday has survived. Except for the lowest slaves and the female branch girls who would die if they didn't take customers, most people would have a day off on Sundays, and even the city lord's hall and auction houses would close their doors. As he spoke, Li Shark shrugged, "Of course, casinos and hotels are open all year round. ”
As Li Sha said, he and Su Ze's financial resources simply do not meet the criteria for participating in auction bidding. Although one person carries a dozen or twenty gold coins, it sounds like two little millionaires, but the auction house's admission standard is five hundred gold coins, and the money bags of the two of them together are not a fraction.
Fortunately, the auction house solicited potential customers, and also allowed customers to enter the venue after mortgaging ten gold coins, otherwise Su Ze and the others would have to return again.
After receiving the twenty gold coins handed by Su Ze and Li Shark, the sweet-looking welcome lady immediately handed them two special metal hand cards, and specially instructed: "Two gentlemen, this is a special hand card of our branch, you can return the deposit with the card when you leave, don't lose it." In addition, since you are not allowed to participate in the auction, please consciously sit in the back three rows of the venue and try not to make loud noises to avoid disturbing others' bidding. Of course, the people who entered the hall were all our customers, so of course the two of us could enjoy all the services except for bidding on the goods. There will be waiters on both sides of the venue, please call for them if you need them, and there will be free fruit drinks inside, so please pick them up according to your needs. Finally, this morning's auction is about to begin, may you both have a pleasant experience, and the Imperial Auctions Panda City Chapter welcomes you next time. ”
After taking the hand card exchanged for ten gold coins, Su Ze couldn't help but look carefully, but saw that this light metal sheet was not gold or silver, and the color was heavy, and it was really not the common copper and iron on the market, and it really deserved to be a "large state-owned enterprise......
After Su Ze and the others walked into the hall of the venue, another welcome lady asked puzzledly: "Those two little ghosts are not rich people at first glance, the ghost knows where their gold coins came from, why are you so polite to them?"
Hearing this, the welcome lady who greeted Su Ze and the others with a smile just now couldn't help but smile, and then shook her head and said, "It's not that I'm too polite, but that you're too ignorant of the world." The combination of this pair of beggars and black-clothed boys has long spread in the city, you must not judge people by their appearance, legend has it that the little beggar is still a silver medal spirit summoner!"
Su Ze and Li Shark naturally didn't know the little bit of caution of the welcome lady, and after walking into the dome hall of the auction venue, they found that there were already a lot of people sitting inside, three people in a cluster, five people in a group, and the camp was very distinct. However, most of these people were concentrated in the first few rows of the venue, and the seats at the back were almost empty.
"Hey, this auction house is really a thief!" Li Shark looked back at the back three rows of benches whose colors and materials were completely different from the other seats, and said unhappily: "The sofa in front and the bench in the back, I don't say anything." But how do they paint the benches so conspicuously red? Are they worried that we are colorblind, or are they worried that we are not able to count?"
"If you come, you will be safe. Su Ze sat on the bench in the penultimate row with Qiuqiu in his arms, his eyes full of curiosity about this kind of dome-domed building, "The city-state is different, it's the first time I've seen a bulging roof, and I don't know if it's strong." ”
"Aha, are you ignorant?" Li Shark sat beside Su Ze, admiring the rare church murals with great interest, while explaining: "Although it is not easy to see, this spherical structure is indeed much stronger than that kind of square house, and it cannot collapse in an earthquake!
At this moment, a radiant old man walked to the small round platform in front of the hall, with a warm smile like a spring breeze on the corner of his mouth, and said loudly: "Welcome to the Panda City Branch of the Imperial Auction House, the old man is the host of the twelve auctions this week, Mo Yi from the Imperial Capital Merlin Family, thank you to all the high-class dignitaries of Panda City for participating in the auction of these ten high-quality goods today!"
The old man obviously didn't use any loudspeaker like a loudspeaker, but Su Ze felt as if his voice was coming from all directions to him, obviously far away, but every word could be heard clearly.
"Hehe, do you feel it?" Li Shark patted Su Ze's shoulder and said proudly: "This kind of spherical venue used to be used by the Pope and the Sect Master for preaching, as long as you stand on that small platform, the voice of speech can be returned to every corner of the hall through the dome!
