Chapter 17: The Divine Messenger
"You look a little confused, maybe I can help you, if you will. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½foβ
Payne felt like he had too many things to throw up, but he didn't know where to start, "Where to start?"
It starts with why you want to enter the temple of God. β
"Okay. Payne took a deep breath,...... But just then, the sound of horses' hooves was heard outside the church.
'Strange, it seems that horseback riding is not allowed in the town except for the nobles, right?' Payne turned his head to look at the door, and after a while, a blonde man in silver armor walked in, and strangely, the plate armor that looked very heavy did not make a heavy metallic sound when the blonde man's feet hit the ground.
The man strode to the steps in front of the altar, and then fell down on one knee with great skill, pressed one hand to his breast, and lowered his noble head.
'It's a knight!' Penn saw in the armor and etiquette of the other man.
"Your Excellency, Honorable Divine Envoy, allow me to greet you. β
"God is with you and me, arise, knight. The black-robed man stood up, faced the knight, and gently raised his palm towards the kneeling knight.
"Thank you, Your Excellency. β
"You're the Earl's chief knight, Anlie, aren't you?"
"You have a good memory, yes... The second son of the Earl of Manly, Manly Babu was chosen by the Academy of Magic, and to celebrate, the Earl set up a sumptuous dinner at the castle. "The knight looked at the man," said Lord Earl, and it would be a great honor for the Manly family if you could go in person. β
"Apprentice to magic, then congratulations to the Earl, but I have a disoriented young man here who needs the guidance of the divine will, and you can bring my blessing with you. β
"This ...... Yes, Lord of God. The knight paused, but did not continue, and as he got up, he glanced sideways at Payne, and there seemed to be an unkindness in his eyes.
"What the hell, Nima can be shot while lying down, right?" Payne felt the knight's sharp eyes, and his heart was full of energy, if the other party wanted to find the back account, it would be a big problem.
"Knight Anlie. The angel stopped the knight as he was about to turn around.
"Yes, Lord God. β
"The light of God's will will bless everyone in need, I think you'll understand, right?"
"Yes, Lord God, An Lie has retired. β
"Go ahead. β
The knight bowed again, then strode out the door.
Payne looked at the departing knight figure and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. ββIt's not hard to see that this divine envoy has just helped him.
"Thank you...... The Divine Messenger is Your Excellency. "Payne had been focusing on the knight just now, to be exact... It's the double-barreled musket at the waist. When he turned his head, he was suddenly shocked by the pattern on the chest of the black-robed man.
It was a pair of azure wings, with a golden eight-pointed star in the middle, and if you ignore the wings, it looks like an open eye. The moment he saw this eye, Payne had the illusion of looking at God, and his heart was shocked... This is the emblem of the Holy See?
"Relax, kid, you look a little nervous. β
"Ahh Be... I'm sorry, I mean, for missing out on a great dinner. Payne silently chanted 'Gate A' in his mind and forcibly took his eyes off the pattern.
"I'm just making an excuse, and even if you're not there, I'll find another reason to refuse. The six-foot-tall envoy casually spread his hands, then shifted his chair and sat down facing Payne, "You don't have to worry about that. β
"Aren't you afraid of offending your lord?" the other party's attitude was a little unimpressed, as if he didn't take the lord and count in his eyes at all. But isn't this really good, isn't there such a saying, - a strong dragon can't overpower the ground snake.
"The Holy See is not afraid to offend anyone, or rather, whether it is human or not...... Let's continue with what we just said. β
'Well, you win. Payne organized his words, he didn't want to give the oracle the impression of being incoherent, "I'm in trouble, I was looking for a good bounty hunter to ask for something before I walked into the church. Unfortunately, he happened to be out of the house, but the problem is that I don't know when he'll be back. β
Payne didn't say the rest of the story, he didn't know if the silver coins on his body would last until Miller came back.
The black-robed envoy nodded, "I see, before he comes back, you think you're not in the right direction, right?"
"You can say that. "Payne doesn't understand what specific aspect 'direction' refers to.
In fact, what he wanted to consult Miller was not just about swordsmanship, he wanted to get a direction to guide him, which can also be said to be a lesson from the past.
"Hmm... Bounty Hunter," the oracle paused for a moment and continued, "since you are going to seek power, then don't care about the direction of your heart, which is called the bottom line, and you will find ..... That's a dead end, or... It's a cage. β
"What do you mean... Is it possible to do whatever it takes?" Payne thought it was a little incredible, was this the word that the Holy See's oracle could say?
"Unscrupulous? I think your understanding may be a little skewed, kid. There may be all sorts of constraints as we move forward, but I don't think there's a ....... Because God will show you the right and wrong future, not your so-called personal bottom line. β
Payne feels that the other party is pure!
If God really exists, there will be no famine, no disease, no injustice, and God will be counted on to show it... , it's no different from having no hope. If there is no standard for measuring being a human being, it is no different from a demon, and there is no lower limit anyway.
There is no punishment, no condemnation of conscience, no bottom line, how can God indicate the standard of right and wrong.
Payne felt that there was no need to talk about it anymore, and if the other party used the experience of his elders to guide him, he might be able to accept it, but he tried to brainwash himself under the guise of God, and the other party was obviously looking for the wrong person.
"You are questioning the existence of God. The oracle read Payne's mind from his eyes, but was not annoyed, and his tone was calm.
"I'm just wondering, what is God's standard of right and wrong?" Payne responded.
"Don't say anything against your will, child, you can't fool me with your eyes. β
Payne had tried his best to control his emotions, but he was still seen through by the other party, as if he was really a child in the eyes of the other party. Payne was a little frightened, he thought, can a person who can read your inner world with just one look, can he really be considered a human being?--in the face of such an executive of the Holy See who doesn't even care about the Earl Lord, he believes...... Perfunctory and deceitful, in the end, the only one who will be hurt is oneself.
