Chapter 30: The Struggle of Faith
Li Le was stunned for a moment, quickly covered Lie's mouth, glanced around, and said nervously:
"Don't talk nonsense! Are you going to kill Sister! Now it's full of people! Come back with me! ”
Lie was covered by her mouth for a while, and her hand couldn't take Li Le's hand away for a while, her eyes rolled around, and she tried to signal Li Le to look at the city gate.
Li Le turned his head to look, and saw eleven or twelve middle-aged men who had already passed through the heavy crowd at some point, standing at the gate of the city, holding knives and beginning to divide the prey.
The man called 'Rain' that Li Le saw before and Brother Bai were among them.
These people should be the district heads, and they are also the main leaders of each district.
After the prey returns, they distribute the prey for the first time, and then the captain brings the prey that has been divided by each district back to each area for secondary distribution.
This is directly related to the division of interests among the various districts, so it is highly valued.
Li Le gritted his teeth and said, "Are you still in the mood to watch the distribution of prey?" You know what you just said? ”
Turning his head, he saw a few people with sensitive ears beside him, as if they had heard part of what he had just said, and looked at them with some suspicion.
Li Le didn't care about anything else, and walked back with the column, his steps hurried, as if something was chasing her behind her.
Lie was pulled by her all the way, as if he realized something, and gradually let go of the struggle along the way, and obediently followed Li Le back.
Li Le hurried back, and even the wind around her blew off her hood, revealing her black hair, and she didn't care very much, but her face was a little ugly:
"Column, the 'lamp keeper' is the chief priest in every city, and his status is noble, how can he be easily mentioned?! Let's just talk about it in private, you actually said in front of so many people that Sister Ah is a 'lamp keeper', in case someone hears it......"
Li Le's face was a little more ugly, not that she was afraid of anything, but that the identity of this 'lamp keeper' was very noble... And most importantly, this one is unique!
In short, there can only be one 'lamp keeper' in a city.
In the past two days, Li Le has also learned a lot of news through the news in this world: Cloud City is simply divided into the inner city and the outer city, as well as the most central exchange.
On the surface, although the overall strength of the thirteen districts is superior and inferior, the status of the heads of each district is equal, and there is no such thing as anyone being superior to whom, similar to a relatively loose alliance group.
But in fact, due to the crazy worship of the lighthouse in this world, a position that is independent and above the districts was born - the 'lamp keeper'.
The people of this world, they believe in the lighthouse, and feel that the lighthouse is the embodiment of the gods and the sustenance of their faith.
This power of faith, which is born under life and death, is the purest of all, but this power of faith cannot be condensed on the lighthouse, so they place this power of faith on the god's substitute, the 'lamp keeper'.
In a world full of dead fog and food shortages, the 'lamp keepers' generally live in the center of the city, as the core of the city, making all kinds of decisions, even above the mayor!
The influence of the 'Lantern Keeper' in a city can be imagined!
Li Le had already heard about the identity of the 'lamp keeper' from Lie's mouth, and he had already planned in his heart......
After all, she has one of the greatest strengths - she is a woman.
That's right, the 'Lamp Keepers' can only be women, and they need to be selected after they have gone through the 'Gori' after adulthood.
It was precisely because she had this idea that she felt a little angry when she heard Lie say something like this: she didn't want Lie to leak the news ahead of time.
Because once this news leaks out, it will add a lot of variables, after all, even if the people here dare not attack the official 'lamp keeper', it is unknown how much fear they have for the reserves......
Lie was dragged by Li Le all the way to his home, and he also realized his recklessness, and his dark eyes showed some guilt:
"Sister, I was so careless, I said it in front of so many people, it was my fault, Sister, I didn't think about it so much at the time..."
Li Le walked for a while at that time, turned his head and took a look, but fortunately, the people at that time all turned their heads, obviously not listening to the words of the column, fortunately did not cause any serious consequences.
Coupled with the fact that he had come all the way, with a look of guilt, the anger in Li Le's heart gradually went down.
After all, Lie had never seen the sun before, and when he suddenly heard about this kind of thing, it should be expected that his mind would be lost.
And if you talk about it carefully, it's also to blame her.
Li Le sighed and said, "Forget it, Lie, Sister shouldn't have mentioned this matter at that time, fortunately, the people around were paying attention to the division of prey at the city gate, and no one noticed what we just said, otherwise the two of us would have to go to the 'Pure Witch Pool' here..."
Lie nodded earnestly, his expression becoming very cautious.
Li Le breathed a sigh of relief, and he was not in the mood to visit a few other places, so he went home.
……
Although Tuan Tuan was taken out by Li Le, this little guy was in a daze under the light of the lighthouse during the day, and when the two of them walked to the city gate, they almost fell off the shoulders on the first floor and were directly carried into his pocket by Li Le.
I'm still asleep.
After returning home, Li Le first took out the tuantuan in his pocket, carefully put it on the mat, and then began to calculate.
She first glanced at the system interface, raised her eyebrows slightly, and then frowned:
[Remaining life time: 42 days (1008:56:37)]
"If I'm not mistaken, I glanced at it this morning and the countdown should be 37? Why is there so much increase all of a sudden? ”
Li Lequ tapped his right index finger on the table and muttered, "Could it be... Is it because Lie believes in the 'solar belief theory' that I made up? ”
She paused with her knuckles, then moved her gaze to the interface that emitted this azure light, and an answer vaguely emerged in her heart:
"It won't be... Is the faith of all who believe in what I have made up to me......? ”
The idea is ridiculous!
"No... It feels very reasonable..."Li Le stared straight at the blue screen, as if he was talking to himself,
"There is only a lighthouse in this world, and the faith of all people belongs to the lighthouse and the 'lamp keeper'..."
"But if their faith is changed to 'sun'... So can I collect faith as the 'guardian of the sun'......"
Li Le involuntarily lowered his hand and sat very upright on the stool, but a trace of madness flashed between his eyebrows.
