Chapter 34: Atlantis

"My phone—" Raphael screamed. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Here......" Rabelais spread out his big hand, although he was angry, he was not crazy, even if he had a relationship with Raphael, he had to tear his face if he dropped the phone, and sure enough, Raphael howled and snatched the phone.

Stephen continued to broadcast on the spot, saying that Polly and they had to go on an airship overlooking Atlantis, and complained that he wanted to lie on the couch and watch some TV and drink some red wine from 82 years ago, but for the sake of traveling at public expense, it was the Empire's premier sightseeing airship, Led Zeppelin, and Fulton begged bitterly, so let's go out for a walk. Over there, Raphael and the others scolded, and every hair on Stephen's head was pulled out by them to humiliate the eighteen generations, and they broke off their friendship no less than hundreds of times, but after all, they couldn't resist the temptation, and squeezed in front of the mobile phone to wait for Stephen to broadcast live.

From the sky, Atlantis looks like an equal hexagon drawn with a ruler, surrounded by the sea on all sides, connected to the inland by the Holy Bridge in the north, and a road of atonement that runs through the north and south in the city is particularly conspicuous, and huge stone figures are lined up on both sides, bowing down to the Temple of the Holy Spirit in the north. The main church is in the center, although the buildings on the two wings of the church are not high, but they stretch out to the east and west sides, and behind it is a small golden building, which looks like a single piece of gold is carved, which is the world-famous Amber Palace; In the middle of the Avenue of Atonement are the highest schools in the Empire, Plato's Academy and Newton's Academy, and on the southern shore stands the statue of the Virgin, which is said to be thousands of feet high, which is the highest height in the Empire. Our Lady holds a torch in both hands, legend has it that it was lit by the fire of heaven, an eternal light, and on her chest hangs a huge white X-frame, the symbol of the Holy See.

The top of the Zeppelin is an airbag, the lower hanging basket is made of fiberglass, and even the seats inside are made of glass, which is convenient for tourists to sightsee. Pascal looked down at his feet, watching pedestrians like ants, vehicles wriggling like snails, and buildings piled up like building blocks and toys at his feet. Looking at the entire city spread out under my feet, imagining hundreds of thousands of people and countless imperial elites at my feet, I couldn't help but feel a desire to conquer, to hold all this firmly in my hands, life and death in my hands, let me take it! Thinking of this, there was a trance in front of me, and suddenly the scene from the disaster movie appeared: the scene was like a tsunami, the walls of the sea collapsed like a haunt, the Virgin Mary fell crookedly and crashed into the Avenue of Atonement, the buildings in the city were washed away by the sea as soon as they shook slightly, the entire piece of the Amber Palace rolled with the sea, Tallinn had already been washed away, and countless people also wailed that they were swallowed by the sea, and the huge whirlpool tore the whole of Atlantis apart, like a bloody mouth swallowing the holy city little by little......

"What do you want?" Pascal was suddenly awakened by Russell's words, and he secretly said sin in his heart, and he actually gave birth to such a heinous thought, is this what Freud said about the desire to destroy?

Zeppelin is accompanied by a guide who explains non-stop along the way: "According to the White Holy See, all men are born sinful, and only the Holy See has the right to forgive people's sins, so every year on the Feast of Atonement, sinners are given the gift of climbing on their knees from the statue of the Holy Virgin to the Temple of the Holy Spirit, so that they will be forgiven of the heavy sins they are born with." ”

"Born sinful, didn't I kill and set fire before I was born?" said Erica.

The tour guide was full of compassion and emotion: "Mortals are not aware of their sins in their sins, only those who have received God's grace can realize their unforgivable sins, those who have received God's grace can wash away these sins, and those who have received God's grace can step into the church, not only to wash away their sins, but also to accumulate merits! Not knowing one's own sins is precisely the greatest sin!"

Erica was about to retort, but Alice hurriedly grabbed her, while Stephen said: "Then how does God choose the people who give gifts, whether he chooses the nobles, the common people, the rich people who donate large sums of money to the White Curia every year, or the poor people who can't even afford the tolls, or the poor who can't cross the Tongsheng Bridge even if they can afford the tolls?"

But have you ever wondered why some people are born rich? Some people are born poor? Because the rich people worshiped the white church in their previous lives, God blessed them! Those poor people, it is the ungodly people who suffer and suffer? How can God let people who are not pure in their hearts cross the holy bridge and defile the holy city? You must realize that God's will is omnipresent and omnipotent, that it is God's will that you agree with God, that God is His will, that you doubt that God is His will, and that it is His will that you attack God. Whatever you want to do is God's will and arrangement!"

"Ati-" The tourists closed their eyes and shouted, and they all took out the X frame on their chests, some of which were copper, some of which were silver, and some of which were of gold, and the tour guide actually took out an X frame studded with diamonds, and Polly pulled Lapascal's sleeve and pointed at it, and whispered: "No wonder he is so devout to defend the White Holy See." ”

"Look, this is Newton's Academy!" Pascal looked in the direction of Russell's finger when he heard this, and saw that Newton's Academy and Plato's Academy, like plantain leaves, were spread out on both sides of the Avenue of Atonement. It's just that Plato's school is full of marble buildings,Even the ground is paved with marble,It looks like a piece of jade in mid-air;On the other side, Newton's school is as blue as the sea,A glass building is scattered among them,But you can hardly see a straight line,It's all deliberately designed,From a distance, it seems to display a piece of artistic ornaments

"I heard that this year is the millennium celebration of Newton Academy, so I gave a generous reward of 20 places! In previous years, there were only 10 at most!" Polly said.

Pascal crossed his fingers and calculated,10 of Plato's Academy,20 Newton Academy,There are only 30 places in total,And 20 were deducted,More than 100 people came this time,Just grab these 10 places,And it's not decided by winning or losing the competition,It's scored by a few judges in the stands"Rich experience、Objective and fair.。 No matter how confident Pascal is, it is useless, after all, this is no longer a matter of personal effort. Forget it, it's worth it to come and play, it's hard for Olivia to make these arrangements, he doesn't believe that a 100-storey hotel is just full, only a few suites on the top floor are left, not to mention the drinks in the suites, and it also comes with seven tickets, so that they can play in the empire's premier airship.

"Look at it, statue of the goddess!" Polly shouted.

"It's a statue of the Virgin! Thou shalt not blaspheme!" said the tour guide. Pascal suddenly noticed that the tour guide was dressed in a white robe, with a white veil on his head, and his facial features were angular as if they were carved, and his voice was so hoarse that he couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman.

"I heard that God ...... The statue is 1,000 feet tall, the highest in the Empire, and no other building is allowed to rise above its shoulders. ”

"How can a mere mortal be compared to a god!" the tour guide grinned.

"What about the Temple of the Holy Spirit? The Temple of the Holy Spirit is only a hundred feet, at least the Lighthouse of Alexandria is higher than the Temple of the Holy Spirit!"

The tour guide was stunned: "How can a mere mortal compare with the Virgin! As for the lighthouse, God's heart is broad and forgiving, and he will not compete with mortals." ”

Pascal couldn't help frowning, thinking that this person's words were incoherent, as if he had made a mistake when he was endorsing, and he didn't know how the Holy See could arrange such a person to be a tour guide. But on second thought, maybe the devout believers are all in the Holy See, and these are just hired by the yacht company.

"Look, God...... The statue is on fire?"

"That's a torch, it's just a matter of getting fat, and you're so ignorant!" said Erica.

"You ugly girl, who do you say is fat!" Polly jumped up at once, turned around in the air, and was about to fight Erica, but Pascal stopped her by the waist and hugged her: "Okay, okay, don't make trouble, make people laugh." ”

"You don't talk a little bit. Alice said Erica.

"That's obviously a torch, if you don't light the fire, will you still spray water?"

"What kind of fire is lit in broad daylight, isn't it a blind toss!"

The rest of the tourists exclaimed in surprise, and the tour guide's mouth twitched: "It is not a fire, but a divine light, a divine light that God illuminates the world and guides sinners, and it has never been extinguished since the beginning of the world!"

"It is clearly said that it is the statue of the Virgin, but it has become some kind of divine light. Polly pouted.

"God is also the Son of the Virgin, and they are all God's ......" The tour guide suddenly felt that his tongue seemed to be knotted.

"Eternal and unquenchable, I don't believe that there is such a bronze statue and pestle here!" Polly said this, and the tourist cried out in amazement, almost like looking at the alien monster that broke out of the abdomen of the alien.

"Haha, you blasphemous, priest, throw her down and feed her to the fish!

"You ......" Polly realized that she had said the wrong thing, and turned her head to look at Pascal. Pascal said, "Since Father Shicai said that what mortals want and say is God's will, then God knows what Polly said just now. Since God knew and let her speak out, it means that God will not blame her. ”

"Yes, that's what I thought! Kuroko, you're so cute!" Polly hugged Pascal tightly and whispered in his ear, "Kuroko looks dark, but her head turns quite fast!"

Pascal stiffened, froze like a pillar. On the side, Fulton's eyes straightened, and he said, "If you hug me, I can figure it out." Do you say, Father?"

"I'm not a priest......" The tour guide tried to correct him several times, and finally found an opportunity.

"Are you a missionary?" Russell looked at the guide, his eyes in awe and a little disdainful.

"You're the ...... I'm a pastor and pastor, and I'm about to be ordained a priest, either this year or next year. The tour guide's face finally had a hint of blood.

"What priest and missionary?" Polly let go of Pascal, who after a while began to gasp for breath and said, "There are seven levels of gods in the White Church, deacons, missionaries, priests, priests, bishops, cardinals, and popes. ”

"It's the Holy See! ”

"So ......" seven titles popped up at once, which made Polly's head swell, but fortunately she quickly stopped when she saw Pascal's eyes.

"Dare you ask the priest, how can this divine light last forever?" asked Pascal.

"It is supported by a holy woman. Then there was a torch on the other side of the airship, and the priest saluted the divine light with a respectful face.

"Holy Maiden, you said that if Helen entered Plato's Academy, would she be chosen as a Holy Maiden?" Russell laughed.

When Pascal heard this, his heart was like being held by someone, not painful but unspeakably uncomfortable, and he thought that maybe this was what she wanted. I heard that after three years of the Holy Maiden's vigilance, she will be given marriage to the nobility by the Pope, even for the nobility, it is a great honor, and the major families take turns to snatch it. At this time, the sun was shining outside, and the torch was shining brightly, but Pascal suddenly felt that his surroundings were gray, as if they were stained with a layer of dust.

No matter how much you desire, you can't be together after all, after all, you have to take different paths, or different destinies.

"Life is the same!" Pascal couldn't help but think, if he didn't concentrate on practice, but like Nero walked between the school and the students, with the help of power to control the authority, would he be closer to Helen? But when I think about it, I'm afraid that the only thing I'm good at is magic. If this draft,I can use my magic to make the judges in the stands shine,Maybe I can enter the Platonic Academy with Helen as I wish.,If everyone else is wiped out.,Or picked up by Newton Academy.,Only himself and Helen were selected for Plato's Academy.,When the time comes, return to the school.,When the ceremony is arranged, the two will definitely stand together.,One to accept everyone's praise.,Glory surrounds the two like Helen's ribbons.。

"Kuroko, what did you just say?" Polly tapped Pascal on the shoulder, waking him up from his dream, "What a god......

"Life is the same, only under the grass hat, a little cold. ”

Polly nodded vigorously: "Yes, very good, although Kuroko is dark, but he is quite talented!"

"I didn't come up with it, it's a haiku ......," Pascal whispered, blushing.

After the Zeppelin circled, it finally landed on the roof of the hotel, and the tour guide and other tourists seemed to be hiding from the Black Death, you pushed me and ran out, while muttering "These people come from the four wildernesses, the countrymen are really barbaric, they are even disrespectful to God, waiting for the plague" and other words, the opening chapter of the White Holy See's mystical "Ferry Sutra" records that the original ungodly people were swept away and exterminated by the Black Death, and under the special grace of God, only a few rats ran to the four wildernesses, and they were never allowed to set foot in the holy city.

Pascal sighed secretly, but Russell and the others laughed and didn't care, but Polly said to himself on the side: "Go shopping and look at the clothes, there are so many clothing stores; no, if you finally come to Atlantis, how can you not make a special report; while shopping, pay attention to what news there is; no, don't you want to lie and deceive people; can't you just come in vain? No, no, no, do you seem to be a famous reporter, if you want to be a well-known reporter in the country, you have to keep working hard, Pay the price, be self-controlled, be conscious, and ...... even if the full clothes are right in front of you. I'll go shopping and look at the clothes first, and then I'll be a reporter when I come back!" Polly couldn't hold back any longer, made up her mind, and suddenly took off with a bow.

"That girl, come down quickly, no abuse of magic is allowed in the Holy City to disturb order!" Polly had just taken off when a loud shout rang out in the air, and she approached a security airship cruising back and forth.

"Got it. Polly jumped off her bow and blended in with the flow of people.
