Hagia Sophia is the third cathedral built by the order of the twelfth emperor of Rosevia, Julius the Great. With the strong national support of Rossevia, the church was designed and built by the then university teacher Isidore and the master architect Antimos, and it took only seven years to complete.

When Hagia Sophia was completed, it was the equivalent of the Achaemenian Empire's Pantheon of Nations, but on its first anniversary, Rosevia was confronted with the War of the Illusions. One of the invaders of the Dream World, the evil god Mistetin was finally defeated and eliminated by the Lord of the Four Seasons of Flowers, and the aftermath of his dying death split Thrace in two, almost erasing the earth, and Julius the Great was forced to announce the relocation of the capital.

Thrace, once the capital of the empire and a symbol of eternity, has been most thoroughly rebuilt, while the Hagia Sophia remains in ruins. Some people believe that this is a relic specially kept by the empire to commemorate the pain caused by the war in the illusory world and to praise the hard-won peace.

It is also believed that Julius the Great devoted his life to the pinnacle of Rosevia's power, and in order to boast of the empire's prestige and attract the return of various countries, he used various decorative methods to beautify Thrace. The streets were decorated with fountains and columns, and Gallic silks, Carthaginian jewels, carvings and crafts from Asia Minor, obelisks of Pharaoh Makmuk, spices, porcelain, and much more were brought to the streets.

As a result, all the efforts of Qiē were in vain within a year after the completion of the Hagia Sophia Church, and no matter how virtuous people were, they would be sad and sad. The emperor probably felt that this church was unlucky, and he was afraid that he would feel sad from the scene, so he did not rebuild it.

Yare was standing at the entrance to the ruins. The ruins of the church are surrounded by a high iron fence, and you can see the huge artificial lake and the ruined walls inside, and a large number of white doves and swans fly and stop, like moving clouds.

At the entrance, there is a simple stone house with a wooden cross on the roof. Two beautiful nuns, one tall and one short, stood in front of the door.

Sister Kim, who was a little taller, held a wooden basin: "Well, give grace to the lost lamb and give us poor mercy for our heavenly father." ”

Every time she spoke, the shorter Sister Blue would strike the gong in her hand: "Welcome to the remains of the Hagia Sophia, one sol at a time, thank you for your patronage." ”

The knights lined up behind the sparse tourists, and their hearts were full of mixed feelings, the bishop here is really good at managing the family, and his nuns have come out to sell tickets.

"One sol at a time, thank you. Sister Blue smiled lovely.

Yalei shook the envelope in his hand and explained, "I'm here to deliver the letter. ”

"One sol at a time, thank you. Sister Kim was expressionless, repeated it again, and handed over the wooden basin in her hand.

...... Forget it, it's just a sol, it's not worth caring about.

The knight had no coins on him, so he took out a ten-sol note and threw it into a wooden basin.

"One sol at a time, thank you. The two nuns said in harmony, the tub, a little closer to the boy.

"Didn't I pay for it, you still have to find me Nine Sols!" he asked angrily.

"Can't say that, dear guest. Sister Kim kept her posture unchanged and said sternly: "I am the nun in charge of accepting donations, and Haiwei is the nun in charge of ticket sales." ”

"Huh?" Yalei was speechless for a moment, but his reaction was quick: "You two stand together, how can I tell who sells tickets and who collects donations." Okay, don't I donate to buy tickets?"

"Honorable guests, donations to God are not recyclable. Sister Lan replied earnestly.

"You two!" the knight pointed at the two of them and shouted, "You are so greedy, can you still be called servants of God? This is fraud! It is a fraud!"

"Dear guests, if you don't buy a ticket, get out of the way. Sister Kim gestured to the tourists lined up behind him, looking unmoved.

"Buy, buy, buy!" Aree angrily dropped the Ten Sol bills again, deciding to return to them after delivering the letter.

"I'm looking for you Nine Soles, please put them away. Sister Blue gathered together nine coins and carefully handed them over.

The knight straightened his face, put it in his coat pocket without saying a word, turned his head and left.

The beautiful view of the ruins of the Saint Sophia Church quickly diluted the unpleasantness in his heart. The swans swam forward with their pink paws across the lake, and the surface of the lake rippled in circles, like huge white lotuses floating on the water.

The lawn is barren and messy, the broken stone pillars are full of vines, and the woods are infested with rare deer, which looks messy but is also a unique beauty.

As can be seen from the old view on the ruins, the front part of the church is an ornate courtyard surrounded by colonnades and a pool in the center.

After the triple collapse of the stone gate, you will arrive at the outer front porch, which is now only a stone path overgrown with weeds, and behind it is the once magnificent large front porch. According to historical records, the large front porch is divided into two levels, the lower floor for Protestants and penitents, and the upper floor as part of the church verandah. Now, the lower level is a bay of water, which leads to the inner sanctum by a wooden plank bridge.

"Really...... It's a shame. "Yare walked on the wooden bridge, feeling sorry for this once glorious great building.

After leaving the wooden bridge, passing through a layer of bushes, the space of the ruins suddenly opens up, and in the empty lawn, where the main hall of the church once stands, a mini-church.

This should be the destination, it looks very powerful, and there is a kind of momentum that is out of the world.

Knock knock knock...... He knocked on the wooden door, which looked old and new, "Is there anyone?"

After not getting a response for a long time, with a gentle push, the door slowly opened inward. The interior is clean and tidy, with two rows of six seats behind the wooden door, and a bronze altar behind it.

"No one?" the knight walked to the crucifixion behind the altar and prayed for a moment, ready to wait here for a while.

A pale hand, suddenly burrowed out from under the altar and grabbed his shin.

"Who!" Areh jeopardically retreated, grabbed the slightly cold palm, and dragged out a young man dressed in clerical garb from under the altar.

"There are people in the church, please don't go. The young priest, who was weak, pale-complexioned, and vegetable-faced, said angrily, as if he didn't know what he was talking about.

"It's actually a living person!" the knight was taken aback, the young man in front of him was already weak and dying, almost indistinguishable from a dead thing, and his spiritual eyes did not appear for a while.

"Hey, don't die!" He patted the other party's face nervously, for fear that this guy would lose his breath at any time.

"Hungry...... priest said with his dilated pupils open.

"Eat if you're hungry, where is your food?" asked Yalei hurriedly.

"Huh...... Forehead...... Not. The young priest hesitated for a while, and finally spelled out a complete sentence: "Under the altar, I have buried an altar of oats ready for the winter." ”

Are you a squirrel? bury things everywhere. Also, how poor do you have to be to rely on a jar of oats for the winter!

The knight only dared to complain in his belly, for fear that if he was louder, he would scare the other party to death. Removing the altar, he dug down a few feet with his bare hands, and finally found the jar of secret oats.

Well...... The portion is not light, probably enough for yourself to eat.

There are miraculous pots and pans under the altar, and there is no kitchen here! Christ may be angry when he sees it.

He flew under the wooden bridge, filled an iron pot with water, boiled it with his bare hands, and then added a whole can of oats, mixed and cooked. A simple meal of oatmeal, and that's it.

Yare filled a full bowl with a wooden bowl under the altar and placed it in front of the priest.

The aroma of oatmeal porridge quickly ignited the other party's vitality, and with the help of the knight, the guy was not satisfied after eating a bowl. Yalei was afraid that he would die, so he intervened to stop him.

"Reserve grain for the winter...... No ......," the priest muttered in despair, crouching in front of the half-pot of oats.

"Hey!" the knight patted him on the shoulder.

"Ahh The priest stood up in a state of realization, and bowed politely to Yalei: "Thank you for saving my life." I was going to test that I could eat food at least once a few days, but I failed for various reasons and almost died...... Thank you anyway. ”

Yalei's face was full of sincerity, and he said from the bottom of his heart: "This is the most boring real yàn I have ever heard. ”

"Hahaha, as a pioneer of the times, I always have to bear doubts in all senses, don't mind, I'm used to it. "With a strong bookish temperament and a handsome appearance, the priest who almost starved to death didn't mind at all.

The knight decided not to bother with the guy and got straight to the point, "Are you Ike Celestine? I have a letter for you." ”

"That's right, I'm Ike Celestine, bishop of this diocese. He nodded and admitted his identity, and suddenly changed his words, and said to himself with two eyes: "Faith? Is it a gift from a pious disciple from afar!"

"Maybe, good luck!" Arepi sent the letter with a smile, this guy is actually a bishop, has the ecumenical pastor been deducting his salary recently.

"It's ......!" Bishop Ike looked heavy when he saw the handwriting on the letter, and slowly took a few steps back before opening the envelope.
