Chapter 2 A Backward World
The wheels of the carriage were "creaking", and the ground of Blackwater City was paved with irregular bluestone, which was very uneven, and it felt a little bumpy to sit in the carriage.
Merlin sat beside Mei Xue, and the faint girlish fragrance wafting from her made Merlin feel very comfortable, but the carriage was too bumpy, he sat for a while, a little uncomfortable, and leaned on the carriage, his feet slightly bent, this posture made him feel more comfortable.
However, Mei Xue was very dissatisfied, she glanced at Merlin's legs in front of her, frowned slightly, and said, "Merlin, can't you put your legs away? You are a nobleman, you must have the demeanor of a nobleman." β
"I'll just lie down, I didn't sleep well last night. β
Merlin was casually perfunctory, still going his own way, maintaining the most comfortable position for him.
Mei Xue unexpectedly didn't fight with Merlin, she bit her lip lightly, a worried look appeared on her face, and asked cautiously, "Is it because of Avril?"
Merlin didn't answer, but Mei Xue continued to herself: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much, Avril is officially engaged to you after all, this is a testimony of decades of friendship between the Barman family and my Wilson family, Avril will marry you after all." But don't fool around in the future, use more snacks on Avril, maybe she will like you. β
Although Merlin closed his eyes, he didn't really fall asleep, and Mei Xue's words, he also took them firmly in mind.
"Avril is my fiancΓ©e? But what Mei Xue meant by her words, it seemed that Avril didn't like me...... Why don't I remember anything?"
Merlin has only gained a part of his memories, and some of them have disappeared permanently, so in order not to show his feet and be suspected by others, he has to pay attention to every word of everyone around him and analyze the key information in it.
Like Avril mentioned by Mei Xue, it must be particularly important information, and Merlin secretly remembered it.
After lying down for a while, Merlin also felt a little bored, so he lifted the curtain of the car, and a cold wind poured in from outside, making Merlin shiver.
"It's almost winter," Merlin said with emotion...... it was already September, a month after the end of autumn, but the cold seemed to have arrived early.
"Yes, it's almost winter, and I don't know what to do this year, the weather is getting colder and colder. β
Mei Xue wrapped her clothes tightly, and her body curled up in the corner of the carriage.
It seemed to be still drizzling grayly outside, and there were not many people on the street, except a group of a dozen homeless people, who were kneeling on the ground and begging for the richly dressed people walking down the street.
These homeless men were dressed in rough linen that they had picked up from nowhere, thin as hemp ropes, and their eyes were full of longing, and there were even some very young children among them.
When the others saw these homeless people, they all looked disgusted, and some of them covered their mouths and noses, and hurried away, Merlin glanced at these homeless people, and then gathered his eyes on a group of young knights on horseback in the street.
These knights were uniformly dressed in silver light armor, which enveloped their upper bodies, and held a wooden shield in their hands, and a large half-man-tall sword behind their backs, looking imposing. The crowd on the street seemed to be afraid of these knights, and some of the children, when they saw them, showed a look of envy on their faces.
Merlin frowned, he didn't know these knights, but he didn't dare to ask Mei Xue about it.
Mei Xue also saw these knights in the carriage, seemed to be very disdainful, and said coldly: "It's this group of guys again, the knights of the city defense regiment, it's useless." With so many people out of the city, I'm afraid which town has encountered thieves, it has been getting more and more peaceful recently, and there are many small towns around Blackwater City where a large number of thieves have appeared. β
Merlin didn't speak, but quietly memorized all this information in his heart, now that he had just come to this world, the memories in his mind were very chaotic, so it was not appropriate to talk more.
Merlin secretly observed for a while, although there were only more than a hundred knights in these city defense regiments, they were well-equipped, and each of them had a murderous aura, which would never be useless as Mei Xue said.
The knights were about to leave the city, and soon disappeared from Merlin's sight, and after watching for a while, Merlin also felt the cold wind, so he lowered the curtain and hid in the warm carriage.
I don't know how long it took to pass, but the carriage gradually stopped, and the servant Moss, who was driving the carriage, shouted softly: "Young Master Merlin, Miss Mei Xue, have arrived at the church." β
"Alright, get out of the car, the church is here!"
Mei Xue seemed to be in good spirits, and jumped out of the carriage at once, and Merlin also got out of the carriage after him, he stretched his body slightly, twisted his slightly stiff neck, and then raised his head and saw a church in front of him.
The church occupies an area of almost four or five football fields, and is frequented by ordinary believers and aristocratic lords dressed in aristocratic attire, all of whom come early in the morning to pray.
The Kingdom of Light believes in the God of Light, and the power of the church is so powerful that almost every city has a church of the Church of Light, and there is an endless stream of people who come to pray early in the morning like now.
Merlin also followed the crowd to the church hall, where the whitewashed walls were filled with huge murals, which were obviously religious murals that sang the praises of the god of light.
Merlin saw a mural in the center, with a tall, vague, unintelligible deity, emitting a soft holy light. The white light enveloped many ordinary believers, including the elderly, children, men, women, nobles, commoners, and even criminals, all of whom had pious and serene smiles on their faces under the light of the holy light.
The name of this religious mural is called God Loves the World, and it is written in the light script, and Merlin inherited part of the memory in his mind, so he also knows the light text on the mural.
In addition to this mural of God loving the world, there are also some murals such as God driving away darkness, God bringing light, God punishing demons, God sending miracles, God blessing believers, etc., although the stories on the murals are different, but the meaning is the same, all of them are singing the glorious deeds of God of Light.
The devout believers, all with their heads bowed and their hands on their chests, were praying under the guidance of the priest, and for a while, the huge church was filled with all kinds of prayer voices.
Merlin thought of the scrawny homeless man in the street just now, and then saw the people praying sincerely, and he finally realized that this was still a very backward world after all!
