Volume 2 Why the Sun Shines Chapter 103 Dinner
Hughes's gaze turned to Abel, who was sitting quietly below, and said, "So, Abel Samuel Messiah, will you join the church and give everything for the fire of mankind?" ”
Abel slowly stood up: "No, I mean not to join the church." ”
The church of Maria fell silent, and when someone came here for the first time and said they didn't want to, the priests and nuns around all looked at Hughes's position.
Hughes's expression was still soft like a lake, but she was already amused by the young man, so she intervened: "Don't you want to contribute to humanity, you have talent, and you have inherited the sun derived." ”
Abel spoke softly, and said without humility or arrogance: "I am not strong enough to contribute to humanity, I am just an unknown person, I am grateful for everything I experienced during my internship, but I have no interest in actually joining the church. ”
He came here this time more to witness Margaret realize her dream, as for himself, he should have sneaked away just now, but he didn't expect it to be his turn so soon.
Initially, the Hunter Internship was more to confirm Elsa's condition, and so far, there was no reason for him to continue to be involved with the church.
The thought may be exciting and exciting, but in the dust of time, most people are just fuel for the fire of humanity.
Abel could see with his own eyes how May's medal was taken back.
Hughes stepped down from the blessing platform under the gaze of everyone, walked up to him with graceful steps, and squeezed Abel's right hand.
Her gaze was breathtaking, and there was a very strong persuasive power, Hughes looked directly into Abel's gaze and said: "Although you are unknown, it does not mean that you have no deeds, don't you want to be like your father, from the sun of Messiah?" ”
Her hands were warm, and the Grand Nun might be about the same age as Alice, but she maintained the appearance of being in her thirties, not like a Grand Priest, and made no secret of her age.
For the church, it is as if maintaining an outward appearance is also a necessary kind of decency.
Abel began to be puzzled by the current situation, because he clearly sensed that Hughes was looking at him wrongly, and the more he felt this way, the more he felt that he could not join the church.
Abel took the opportunity to secretly break free of Hughes's hand, and then politely refused: "Thank you for your love, but I'm really not interested." ”
But then, Hughes promised a condition he couldn't refuse, and she whispered in her ear: "I know what you want, and it just so happens that I know exactly what Francis wants to do, and almost no one but me knows." ”
She straightened up, "Want to know?" Then you have to think carefully about whether or not to swear here. ”
Margaret, who returned to her seat, looked at herself with a look of please, as if to say, "Please, no, you should take me with you to become a hunter, right?" ”
Seeing that Abel was still struggling, Hughes used the last resort, Francis's secret diary.
"Your sister's name is Elsa, I'm not mistaken. She seems to have arrived here with an important personal diary, and I can give you a chance to see it. ”
Jackson, who was silently watching the investiture ceremony at the door of the church, was surprised at this time, and like everyone else here, he couldn't help but pinch his chin and say to himself, "What the hell, Abel, what magic do you have to make the great nun so struggling." ”
Back then, and now, the Grand Nun had said very few words to him Jackson, and in the few minutes he had just spoken to Abel, he had surpassed herself.
"You promise I'll be able to see my father's diary?"
Hughes turned and walked back to the blessing table, and said, "Do you choose to believe me, or do you promise a penny?" ”
Oops, Abel thought, Hughes had completely mastered her own thoughts, and she forced her choice into a multiple-choice question.
Margaret on the side whispered, "Mr. Abel, what are you hesitating about. ”
Hughes once again placed his left hand on the canon, forcing him to make a final choice: "Abel Samuel Messiah, the sun god is willing to give you another chance, would you like to join the church?" ”
The voice was like a hammer, knocking on Abel's heart one by one, and he had no time to think about the pros and cons, and his father's diary might only be seen in this way.
Then, Hughes won her victory, and Abel finally stood up, apologized to everyone for delaying the ceremony, and then looked at Hughes on the blessing table: "I do, Grand Nun, in the name of blood and fire." ”
He stepped forward to take the Jin Xun belt, and the first time he touched the actual object, Abel realized that the thing was quite heavy, as if it had been injected with something.
"The sun god thanks you for your dedication, my dear." The Grand Nun said with a smile, tasting the taste of victory in her heart, which was intoxicating.
O sun god, she thought to herself, I have continued to guide the prophecy.
How he left the church, Abel couldn't recall, he was in a trance, and it wasn't until Margaret drove him for a ride, that he came to his senses.
Jackson slipped away after the ceremony, laughing and telling them that he was going to find a way to go back, that he was going to have some fun and make boring life a little more interesting.
Now Abel held the golden ribbon for a long time to bathe it in the sun, and it was shining brightly.
"I'm still surprised that I didn't see Elsa." Margaret said to herself, "Ah, I'm a little hungry, let's eat something good in the evening." ”
Abel put away the gold ribbon, closed his eyes in the back seat and said, "The church must have let her perform the ceremony a long time ago, and we have become juniors." ”
"You've finally come back to reality, you've been watching this thing since you took the Kim Hoon, aren't you reluctant to join the church?"
Abel felt the warmth of the sun shining on his face, and said slowly: "I once watched the church take back my mother's ribbon on the grounds that she lost her legs and could no longer serve the Black Temple, it felt like throwing away a piece of garbage that could not be recycled, but today I actually have the gold ribbon, fate always likes to joke with people." ”
Margaret was surprised: "May lost both legs? But I think she's normal. ”
Abel responded calmly: "The metal legs made by the company are alchemy objects created by the Moon House. ”
Margaret let out a long oh, as if she had learned something terrible.
Will the church treat us like this in the future, she hopes in her heart that it will not be, after such a glorious ceremony, everyone is convinced that they are approved by the sun god and will not want to leave the church again.
Abel listened to the rumbling of Margaret's stomach and said with a wry smile, "Go find a place to fill your stomach, your stomach has been protesting loudly." ”
Margaret blushed with embarrassment, she thought it wasn't so loud that Able could hear it clearly.
"Is there a good place you know, just solve it, don't be too expensive, I don't know what nobles like you usually eat."
But Margaret behaved as if she had encountered a big problem, usually either having a chef at home to show her skills, or what to eat, how did she know what special dishes were in Wangcheng.
Abel sighed, pointed in the direction of Lieyang Street and said, "Go back to Lieyang Street, Aunt Alice or Mother should be at home, and it is not a problem to fill in the stomach." ”
Fifty minutes later, Alice heard the doorbell ringing while she was having dinner with Solomon.
Solomon had no intention of getting up to open the door, and continued to feast on the meat on his plate.
"Didn't you hear the doorbell ring, Mr. Solomon?"
"I hear you."
"Then can I ask you to be a gentleman and go open it?"
Solomon laughed at once, sat down on the chair and spread his hands, and said, "Alice, you don't know me yet, I have nothing to do with a gentleman. ”
Having said that, he got up and opened the door, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw that it was Abel and Margaret, and at a glance he saw Margaret's gold ribbon.
He turned back to Alice and shouted, "Well, it's Abel and that little girl, but she seems to be from the church!" ”
The first time Solomon saw Jin Xun's belt, he didn't dare to let them in directly, for fear that Mei would see the stimulus for a while, and according to the previous tradition, the Messianic family has never been very welcoming to people in the church, and Pfister is the only exception.
Without waiting for Alice to speak, Mei Mian put down the knife and fork without changing her color and said softly: "Look at you, what are you for, let them in." ”
So there were two more people at the table, and the corresponding knives and forks, and Margaret couldn't help but praise May's craftsmanship, and she was really happy to be able to eat with the role model in addition to this.
Solomon did not look good, he had always hated the people in the church, especially the dazzling gold ribbon, and for a time Margaret's mood seemed very complicated.
This is a good girl, he sighed inwardly, but it is a pity that he joined the church.
So he whispered to Alice, "I remember that May wasn't forbidden to have contact with people in the church?" ”
Alice reluctantly said: "Some things have been changed by reluctance, who would have thought that Aisha is now running to the arms of the church, so Mei can't be allowed to cut off the relationship with her little daughter." ”
Solomon shrugged his shoulders, and the voice responded, "Francis will lose his temper if he finds out." ”
"Who knows, but that's all there is to it now, isn't it, eat your stuff honestly, we have to show basic hospitality."
The two of them turned their heads to see that May was already talking to Margaret with a smile on her face, and she didn't look unnatural.
But in fact, she had done her best to pay attention to the dazzling ribbon, and for years, she had almost forgotten that she had once been a hunter too.
Margaret talked eloquently, and didn't care about how Abel took the golden ribbon, which made the people at the table suddenly stop their movements and look at him in unison.
Abel knew that Margaret would speak up, and he began to regret inviting her here.
May asked, "I thought you wouldn't agree." ”
Although his tone was calm, Abel knew that his mother was going to be angry, Margaret, you really shouldn't have brought it up.
He explained: "Grand Nun Hughes said she would allow me to see my father's diary. ”
But this sentence once again forced Mei's temper, and when she saw that there were guests present, she could only suppress the fire first, nodding and passing by.
"It's miserable." Solomon said in his heart.
His heart was heard by Alice, and she couldn't help but lament: "It's not going to end well, Abel, this kid, bring an uninvited guest." ”
Margaret still didn't notice the coldness of the atmosphere, and was still talking.
Alice suddenly felt that she had to get Francis's mechanical double out quickly, and if she continued like this, May would collapse sooner or later.
After the meal, May pretended to bid farewell to Margaret warmly, and then returned to the house angrily and asked Abel: "Why did you go to church, Elsa is ignorant, you are the eldest son." ”
"Even if you can see Francis's diary, can you not tell me at all?"
Mei had never been so aggrieved, and she found that she could skip everything now, as if her attitude was completely unimportant.
Abel listened to his mother's thunderous rage, she had never been angry with herself before, and this was the first time.
