Chapter 16: The Believer—The First Update
(PS: Thanks to the following book friends for their tips: @尜巅, @12年书虫1111; thank you~~~)
"Your Excellency, the Temple has arrived"
Seta opened the door and stepped out of the carriage, tossed a silver coin under the driver's vaguely expectant gaze, and the corners of his mouth curled:
"It's car money!"
The coachman hurriedly caught the small silver coin, and said happily with a flushed face:
"What a generous Excellency!"
At this time, the prayer had just ended, and there were still many people in the square of the main entrance of the temple, which were slowly dispersed;
Seta waved the coachman to leave on his own, and he himself found a place against the wall, and the crowd rolled away, and from time to time their whispered conversation could be heard;
"Hull, is your boy going to learn blacksmithing?"
"Yes, hahaha, old Uncle Barry has agreed to take him as an apprentice!"
"Ahhh
Seta turned her head to see two middle-aged men with gray hair and a slightly curved back, both of whom were dressed in old gray clothes, and they were not very clean;
Judging from the words and clothes just now, they did not belong to the wealthy class, but their faces were full of hope;
Seta's heart moved, and he turned to look at the others, and saw that everyone, rich and poor, had a look of satisfaction on their faces;
He looked up at the tall temple and suddenly realized:
"It's a function of faith, right?"
The poverty, hardship, affluence, pleasure, and so on of material life have all been turned into food for spiritual progress!
When the spirit is perfect to a certain extent and then cooperates with the faith, it is the so-called devout believer!
In the usual propaganda, the standard of a devout believer is: a believer who knows God's name, knows God's will, and then understands God's ways and practices them;
But Seta felt that they were clearly hiding an important part: the faith and spirit of the believer in the process of faith!
This can explain why there has never been a true person at the bottom of society who has ever been a god saint from ancient times to the present.
Because their spirit is not perfect enough~ If you want to reach the spiritual perfection of the saint level, you must also have profound knowledge and profound wisdom!
And people at the bottom of society obviously don't have these conditions!
"So, even the world of belief in absolute fairness is actually unfair!"
"As for saying that as long as you have a strong faith in perseverance, you will eventually become a fanatic, or even a saint, that's a joke!"
"The two sides of the competition are not at the same starting line at all"
Thinking of this, the corners of Seta's mouth showed a slight hint of ridicule:
"However, no matter how the two sides win or lose, in fact, the final winner will only be the gods!"
"Because all the fruits of their final cultivation have been obtained by the gods they believe in!"
"It's really ironic that we have a chance because of God, but we lose it because of God."
By the time Seta came back to his senses, the crowd in the square had all dispersed, and only a few probationary priests were left in the vast square to clean up;
Shaking his head slightly, let's think about these things later, maybe after I become a god?
He strode towards the entrance of the temple, where there were two temple warriors:
"May the Goddess bless you, I want to see Pastor Pooh from the Holy City, can you help me inform me?"
Seeing that Seta was wearing high-end half-body armor and glowing, the temple warrior nodded with a slight narrowing of his eyes and said:
"Goddess bless us all!"
"The priest from the Holy City is in the camp next to it, you can go straight there!" the samurai added, pointing to the street on the left.
"You just turn the corner from here!"
Seta looked to the left, smiled and nodded, and said:
"Thank you very much!"
Less than a mile to the left, there was a junction, and Seta could already hear the shouting from outside, so he went inside;
After a brief negotiation with the temple warrior guarding the gate, Seta finally meets the priest Pooh;
"Setta-sama, I'm sorry, I should have come out and wait for you"
"It's okay, you've just finished praying! Let's go."
The two did not stay at the gate of the station for long, and went to the tavern of the previous night at Seta's suggestion;
The environment and food of this tavern are very much in line with the current identity of the two, as for the better environment, first, the two of them are not familiar with the geography of Sunrise City and don't know where it is, and secondly, it is not necessary;
The key is to have a quiet place to talk;
Now that they had decided, they no longer procrastinated, and the two of them came to the 'Rose Tavern' in a carriage;
Still the same waiter as yesterday, he greeted him with a smile on his face:
"Welcome to the Rose Tavern again!" he clearly remembered the two who had only been there yesterday;
"Are the two guests going to be on the first floor, or on the second floor?"
Since he wanted to talk about something, Seta chose a private room on the second floor, and after taking his seat, Seta did not wait for the waiter to ask, and said directly:
"Yesterday's honey barbecue was a serving, it tasted good, and the rest should be changed for me to other specialty dishes, a total of 5 dishes"
The waiter smiled and put away the little book, bent down and asked:
"Yes, distinguished guest, do you need any wine?
Seta glanced at the priest Pooh, confirmed what the other meant, shook his head, and said:
"Wine is not needed, is there fruit wine?"
Fruit wine is a fruit juice drink with a slight taste of wine, quenching thirst but not getting drunk, and the waiter replied in the affirmative:
"Then a pot of fruit bar!"
The waiter went down, and soon all kinds of hot delicacies were served, and five dishes filled most of the table, and when the waiter went out, Seta picked up the flask and poured two glasses of wine:
"I'm going to the Knights of Glory in the afternoon, we don't drink too much"
The young pastor took the glass with both hands, put it down and asked:
"Is it a discussion about going on a campaign?"
"Probably, after all, the support from the Church's side has arrived, and I think His Excellency Count Willie should be tempted to go on the expedition" Seta took a slight sip of fruit wine, which was very sweet and delicious;
Pooh took a small sip and felt very delicious, smashing his mouth and saying:
"This is better than wine" immediately changed the topic:
"I heard last night that Sir Tari Huffman, Home Councillor, had gone to Bishop Hit, and that he was supposed to be there to discuss the matter."
"It's time to go on the expedition!"
Seta nodded slightly when she heard this, and then smiled:
"Pooh, let's not talk about that, tell me about yourself, how long do you have to study at the seminary?
"The teacher meant to let me stay at the seminary for two years, so that I could get to know more people, and it would be helpful in the future," Pooh muttered as he stuffed a large mouthful of food into his mouth.
"But I myself want to come out sooner, so that I can spread the faith of the goddess and let more people bathe in the glory of the goddess."
Of course, he will also please the goddess and get the rank of priest in this way, and Pooh smiles when he thinks of his pride;
Seta smiled slightly, and said:
"Listen to your mentor, Pooh!" he said, taking the young priest as his own brother, and took a bite of the food before he analyzed:
"Two years doesn't mean a lot of delays, but you get a lot of companions who can help you in times of trouble"
"So you can go far!"
Pooh had obviously heard this from his mentor, so he frowned and sighed:
"Yes, Setta-sama, that's what the Mentor said."
After all, he had to figure it out for himself, and his mentor should have his own means, and Seta didn't say anything more after he mentioned it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
