Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Lord's Believers
"Witcher?"
Mr. Rainer Brown was stunned for a moment, then frowned, fell into deep thought, and finally shook his head: "I asked her before, but she didn't tell me, just said that I should not ask more about this matter, otherwise it will not do any good." ”
"Hmm...... I believed her, so I didn't get to know her. ”
She?
So is it the witch who defected from the Hidden Hand?
Sean touched his chin, looked at him, and said seriously, "Mr. Reiner, I want to ask you something." ”
"Ah, you say it."
Reiner Brown was startled by Sean, who suddenly became serious, and the whole person became inexplicably nervous.
"First of all, I want to emphasize that you must be sincere in your answer and not tell lies, otherwise it will affect my final decision on whether to accept this commission or not."
Reiner Brown was even more nervous, couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and unconsciously grabbed his trouser leg with both hands.
"That's right, I would like to ask you, do you have faith?"
"Faith?"
Rainer Brown was obviously stunned, and then fell into deep thought, and it took a long time before shaking his head and saying, "I'm sorry, but I really don't have any faith. ”
After speaking, he hung his head in frustration and muttered, "Is this answer very disappointing to you?" ”
The corners of Sean's mouth curled slightly, and he continued to ask, "Then can you tell me why you don't have faith?" ”
"Why?" Reiner Brown raised his head, hesitated slightly, and said a little embarrassed: "Actually, I'm ashamed, I've never seen God, and I haven't seen so-called miracles, so I ......."
He didn't finish the rest of the sentence, but Sean understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "I understand, the reason why you don't have faith is because you have never seen gods or miracles, so naturally you can't believe in such an ethereal existence, right?" ”
"Uh...... What about you, Mr. Stephen? Is there faith? ”
Surprisingly, Reiner Brown asked Sean rhetorically.
Sean secretly said, "I was just thinking about you to say this", and nodded solemnly: "That's right, I have faith." ”
As he spoke, he didn't wait for Reiner Brown to answer, and continued: "Actually, like you at the beginning, I have never seen a god, I have never seen a miracle, so naturally I can't believe that a god is such an ethereal existence, but ......"
"But?"
"Well, you should know, I'm a witcher with superpowers, uh, in the parlance of our circle, I'm a transcendent."
"Transcendent......" Reiner Brown muttered on the word several times.
"Well, as a transcendent, I've been exposed to a lot of strange things, and because of that, I once acquired an ancient magical ritual by chance."
"Magic ritual!?"
Reiner Brown's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "Is there really such a thing in this world!?" ”
"Well, that magic ritual is called a divine prayer." Sean said excitedly, "At that time, I hesitated for a long time, but in the end, I tried to use this magic ritual once. ”
"And then?"
Reiner Brown asked as if listening to a magical mythical story.
"Then, after I used this divine prayer, I actually communicated with a god, oh no, a being greater than a god."
Rainer Brown was stunned and speechless for a long time.
Although he wanted to say, "You didn't lie to me, did you", but looking at Sean's serious eyes, he couldn't say half a questioning word.
"Hmm...... The Lord who is beyond time and space, the god of illusion who is free from illusion, and the king of dreams who rules the realm of dreams, this is the honorific title of the great Lord. ”
Sean's tone became more and more reverent.
Reiner Brown opened his mouth, finally as if he understood something, and said, "So, you mean, the reason why you can recognize the inscription is because the great Lord taught you the language?" ”
Sean looked at Reiner Brown, who was desperately hiding his longing in the depths of his eyes, and said, "That's right, and besides, the great Lord taught me not only this simplified Chinese character, but also the more complex traditional Chinese characters used in ancient Rome. ”
"Simplified? Traditional? ”
Rainer Brown was stunned for a moment, then seemed to understand something, and said excitedly: "Good name, it's so appropriate, it's too appropriate, no, no, I also have to learn this kind of writing, you, can you teach me." ”
As he spoke, he looked at Sean expectantly.
Sean shook his head in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, this is the knowledge that the Lord has passed on to me, how can I give it to non-believers without the permission of the Lord?" ”
Reiner Brown was stunned for a moment, and reacted extremely quickly: "Believers? Do you mean that you can learn this knowledge when you become a believer in the Lord? ”
"This ......" Sean smiled bitterly: "Mr. Reiner, I can see your thirst for knowledge, but to be honest, a believer is not a position, but a faith, if you don't have a true heart, you can't become a believer in the Lord, and even if, even if you can become a believer, the Lord will be willing to teach you this knowledge, I'm not sure." ”
Reiner Brown nodded slightly, agreeing with the meaning of Sean's words, but still said with a wistful expression: "Mr. Stephen, I beg you, you can try that magic ritual called divine prayer once, right?" Help me ask the Great Lord if I can become a believer in Him! ”
He seemed to think of something, and said with a serious face: "Please believe me, I will be an absolutely devout believer, and I will give everything I have for the Lord." ”
As he spoke, he added in his heart, "If only the great Lord could teach me this miraculous word." ”
"Oh, Lord! Simplified, traditional, this is also wonderful! ”
Sean smiled secretly in his heart, but on the surface, he acted as a preoccupation: "But ......"
Reiner Brown hurriedly grabbed Sean's hand and said seriously: "Please tell the great Lord that I am willing to give up all my wealth." ”
Sean replied faintly, "The Lord has no interest in mortal wealth. ”
After a pause, he added in his heart: "It's weird! ”
Reiner Brown was stunned, then looked at Sean, who had strange eyes, as if he understood something, and immediately lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Stephen, everything I kept in the VIP locker of the Central Bank belongs to you." ”
Sean's heart jumped, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Mr. Reiner, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that." ”
Reiner Brown's face turned straight, and he looked at Sean dissatisfiedly and said, "Mr. Stephen, what do you mean by this?" Don't you recognize me as a friend? Or do you think our friendship is worse than these things outside of us? ”
Sean was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "Mr. Reiner, since you have said so, well, I can try it for you." ”
......
......
Some people died, but not completely......
