"Bill Barber, in the name of Father Priest, I officially baptize you."

Ma Wei held the porcelain bowl in one hand, dipped some holy water in the other, and flicked his fingertips, and a few droplets of water fell on the man in front of him.

Immediately after, he began to circle around the man, stopping once in each of the four directions, repeating the operation just now, and finally returning to the front.

"May the Goddess protect you and forge ahead on the path of truth."

The man lowered his head, let Ma Wei's palm dipped in holy water press on his forehead, then straightened up, put his left hand on his chest, and said softly, "Truth is supreme." ”

At this point, the baptism ceremony is over.

The man who had completed the baptismal rite officially became a believer in the Church of Truth, took out a few bronze pennies and threw them into the bronze cage in front of the statue of the god, and left happily.

This is the 58th believer to be baptized by Mavi today.

His speech was so effective that it attracted countless passers-by, and he believed that what people could aspire to must be the truth.

The fascination of truth is so great.

Recording the man's donation on the list of believers, Mavi looked at the next man, "What's your name?" ”

"My name is Dion Bellomoh, Father."

"Will you follow the truth?"

"I do."

"Very well, Dion Bellomoh, in the name of the priest, I officially baptize you...."

A new round of baptism began again, and Dino, the gray wolf, sat in the corner of the church, watching this scene with a smile and waiting patiently.

Near noon, when the sun was rising, Yunia, who had just woken up, rubbed her eyes and came down in a white cotton pajamas, and when she saw that her father was still busy, she obediently sat on the chair behind Ma Wei and fiddled with the bear in her hand.

Until 1 p.m....

Ma Wei sent the last believer away.

"It's finally over..."

He put down the porcelain bowl with the holy water and sat down on the bench, his tired shoulders almost unable to lift.

"Daddy!"

Yunia ran to him very happily: "Yunia's strength has increased again!" We're about to reach a tipping point! ”

"Tipping point?"

Ma Wei wondered, "Is there a limit to your strength?" ”

"The specific details, Yunia is not very clear." Yunia shook her head: "But Yunia can feel that as long as the believer's faith power reaches a certain amount, Yunia can become even stronger!" ”

A small church that has only been established for three years will certainly not be able to compare with those big churches that have been around for hundreds or thousands of years, and Ma Wei also knows in his heart that in terms of understanding the gods, he is not even a beginner now.

More information about the gods needs to be obtained from those in the know.

"Father."

Just as Mavi was thinking, shadows enveloped him, and with it, the strong and pungent smell of perfume.

"Dino, your taste in perfume is still as bad as ever." He said without looking back.

"Poor?"

Dino the gray wolf sniffed his wolf fur jacket and muttered, "This is the most popular cinnamon pepper rose essential oil in high society at the moment!" I'm fashionable, okay...."

"The smell of you reminds me of roasted whole lamb bubbling in a bathtub sprinkled with rose petals."

“......”

The corners of his mouth twitched, the gray wolf Dino really couldn't refute, sat down next to Ma Wei with a dark face, glanced at Yunia beside him, and asked, "Who is this beautiful young lady?" ”

"My daughter, Nia."

"You've never been close to women, where did you come from?"

"First of all, it's not that I'm not close to women, but I haven't met someone I like, and secondly...."Ma Wei said calmly: "Is it strange that I have a daughter?" ”

"Strange, of course strange, it's just weird, okay?"

Looking at Yunia shrunk behind her father, the gray wolf Dino sneered: "From the outside, your daughter's eyebrows and eyes are very similar to our beautiful and dashing East Slavs, and you are an authentic Celtic appearance, and you can't fight together with eight poles... You can't fool me, she's not your own at all. ”

Ma Wei subconsciously touched his cheek, to be honest, he is not sensitive to the difference in appearance of different nationalities, but the grocer who travels all year round can see the clue at a glance.

"Does appearance matter?" Ma Wei asked rhetorically: "Whether she is related by blood or not, she is my daughter." ”

"Say whatever you want."

"You're not a churchgoer, what are you doing here?"

"Hey, hey, don't drive people away if you don't agree!" The gray wolf Dino smashed his mouth: "I came to church to find you." ”

"What, come to me for bottle money?"

“.... Do you remember what I said when I left the church? ”

"Of course, you said that from now on, what you have, I will have too."

"It's a promise." The gray wolf Dino put away his smile and said seriously: "My promise to you." ”

"Last night you said you were a businessman."

"Yes, I'm a businessman, but I'm not a villain who forgets his righteousness, people say I'm as cunning and treacherous as a wolf, but those tricks are used by outsiders, to you, my friend, I can always treat each other with an honest heart!"

"So you're here today to tell me this?"

"No, I'm here to tell you.... I have to go. ”

Ma Wei turned his head and said in a much more serious tone: "Where are you going?" ”

"Go home, go back to my hometown..."

Looking at the statue of the god bathed in the sun, the gray wolf Dino rarely showed a sense of remembrance, and said with some emotion: "This morning, I received a piece of grapevine news that the Kingdom of Windsor will declare war on the Kingdom of Romanov in the near future. ”

"A declaration of war?"

With a deep frown, Ma Wei asked, "Why Xuan...."

The sound came to an abrupt end.

Mavi suddenly remembered the history of the development of the Romanov kingdom.

The Romanov Kingdom was formally established 200 years ago, and the first king was Mikhail Romanov, who was clever but overly dependent on the church, which led to the kingdom for the next 100 years, once fell into a situation of corruption and laziness, all kinds of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the people were miserable.

And his fifth successor, Peter I, immediately began to reform after ascending the throne, and used iron-fisted means to completely wash the Romanov Kingdom in blood, which directly led to the disappearance of the Apocalypse Cult that originally belonged to the Romanov Kingdom.

The kingdom has finally reached its peak in the hands of Peter I, and its strength is growing stronger and stronger, but they have no state religion!

Not only is there no state religion, but even small churches are not allowed to exist on the territory of the Romanov kingdom!

In the past, there would have been nothing wrong with this kind of decision-making, but now that the gods have come and there is no church, the Romanov dynasty...

Isn't it a soft persimmon?

More critically....

Peter I, who was awarded the title of the Great, died of illness three years ago, and was succeeded by his young son Paul I, who obviously did not have the iron fist of Peter the Great, and it has been rumored among the people that he was a monarch with abnormal mental disorders and eccentric behavior, Ma Wei did not know the specific situation, but Paul I was definitely not as loved by the people as his father.

On the contrary, Paul I's sister Katerina heard that she was a once-in-a-century talent....

"I don't know exactly why the war was declared, but the news is definitely true."

The gray wolf Dino smiled helplessly: "There is trouble in my hometown, how can I stand by and watch?" So I decided to sell my whole estate and go back to my hometown..."

As he spoke, he stood up, moved his muscles and bones, and recovered a little of his mood: "Of course, the war cannot be fought just as it is said, and it is impossible for my side to sell all the properties tomorrow, at least I will have to stay here for more than half a month." ”

"During this period, if you have any difficulties or troubles, Father, do not hesitate to come to me."

"Okay, I got it."
