"The country is heading straight for the depths of hell, and they thought the gates of heaven were at hand."

The ascetics stood at the entrance of the National Cathedral, and in order to accommodate as much as possible the newly wealthy pilgrims from all over the country, the new church was in fact very simple in its use of rammed earth and shingles, like the first church founded by the Evangelists in Neustria, but for the sake of the exemplary propaganda of the new church, it dressed itself up like the Eternal City, bringing many marble pillars from the churches and monasteries of the great monastery. Marble veneers, tiles, glass windows, and carved wooden panels decorate the exterior of this church in a grand and luxurious manner, as if it were a palace built entirely of marble. In order to show their piety and that of their people, the naturalized pirate leaders generously donated to the church numerous gold and silver ornaments, various holy relics and sacrificial utensils that they had plundered from various countries over the years, and enriched its interior. Her Majesty's silk reeling workshop provided it with a continuous stream of hazy curtains that obscured the bare walls that had not yet had time to be painted, while the peasants and workers of the warm suburbs of Aronael, who had been rejuvenated under the new government, offered countless bright, nevertheless flowers and foliage to the corridors and halls.

Therefore, even if you see a well-informed person, it is difficult to see through the shabby nature of this church in the first place. It was noticed as an oversized paint shop, and ascetics were no exception.

He was standing there. In front of him, there was a surging crowd of people going to the new church to worship, and it was no wonder that he exclaimed. This scene is indeed very similar to the rich devils mentioned in the scriptures, let alone after he learned their teachings.

That's outright heresy and blasphemy!

However......

He had never felt so far away from him, and everyone around him, Neustrians, foreigners, was rushing to the devil's arms, and he was in the midst of all of them, but he was extremely lonely. These pilgrims are the lucky ones of the new life, dressed in costumes and carrying offerings in their arms. With hope for a new life on their faces, they talked about the miracle drama that was about to take place, the business deal, the new job, the new house, the carriage, the clothes and jewelry...... They laughed and laughed in the sunshine and enthusiastically preached to everyone the new—wrong, true, doctrine of God that blessed them.

How can this lead them to repentance?

What he didn't notice was that in the shadows not far away, there were also a pair of displeased eyes glaring at the church.

In the last few years, Miraj hasn't felt anything bad about living in Neustria, yes. They now live in the land of the infidels, but the pagans do not interfere with them as much as they had thought, and they can still pray to their gods and eat their food and drink and celebrate their religious festivals. There is no need to bow to the false gods of this country, and if there is any difference from his old life, it is that his father's weaving skills deserve more in the land of the infidels. Meat and fruit appeared on their table more often than ever, and his mother had a pair of beautiful gold earrings.

Neustria receives more rainfall than Karaman. As far as the eye can see, there are dense forests everywhere. The pagans could enjoy flowers, meadows, and streams in the countryside not far from the workshop, and his father had planned to use the accumulated wages and bonuses to buy them a small garden, where they could grow fruit trees and flowers, and then live as the truth promised in heaven.

Here, Miraj even went to school, where his father made his "profane lessons" as short as possible on the grounds that he had to help with his work, and made him bring his own zuò food. However, Miraj was not genuinely averse to school life, where he had made a few friends, tasted the food provided by the school, and was more curious than disgusted by the sometimes mentioned Neustrian religion.

However, he now had a deep appreciation for the word "infidel"!

He fell in love with a girl and planned to send his mother to a proposal, a banquet, a wedding...... He didn't care if she was an infidel! She can slowly convert after marriage! But this dream was shattered from the beginning, and the girl did not want to be in a relationship with him.

She didn't reject him because of shyness and faith, she had another beloved lover.

The defeat made the young rooster feel very angry, he couldn't forget the beautiful face of the other party, and the defeat only deepened his impression that he had to get it, but how to get it?

At the critical moment, his pious father, who had never given up on teaching his hope because of his past profligate behavior, stepped forward and enlightened his son: "The truth has been given to us all over the world, and this country is no exception, pray to the truth, my son, and it will give you that pagan girl, and she will fall at your feet and beg for your forgiveness." ”

He took over the faith from his father, who had just followed his parents' prayers and repeated them like a parrot, but now he suddenly understood the meaning of each prayer, and with each recitation he became more and more determined in his faith.

This kingdom, like the whole world, belongs to Him, which the truth promises, which it promises over and over again.

He repeated the prayers that promised reward over and over again, and did nothing else, and his father was pleased with his son's return to the faith, but his school teacher expressed his displeasure: "Miraj must go to school. ”

"He's not feeling well." His father lied to his teacher.

On another occasion, his father said: "His grandmother is unwell, she is old, and she is going to return to heaven this time, how can she leave her dear grandson in this case?" ”

After retreating a few times, his teacher said fiercely: "Today is the day of the whole school to visit the new church, and if Miraj doesn't go, we will report your son's disappearance to the higher-ups." ”

Miraj was forced to come to the church square because of such unreasonable and cruel persecution, and when he found an opportunity, he broke away from the school and hid on the side and glared at the church. He knew his mission, and it was his mission for the trafficker to take his family to this pagan land, and that one day he would destroy the magnificent and luxurious cathedral in front of him, shatter all the pagan idols in it, and make everyone here obey and turn to the truth.

As he gritted his teeth, he heard a voice as disgruntled as he muttered, "It's good that this church doesn't have it!" ”

He turned around and saw that it was his classmate, Louie. (A good event for pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!)
