Chapter 011: A Trip to the Church
The construction of Yandi Church is indeed a long time ago, and even the walls made of ivory marble have left many mottled marks engraved by the years.
Inside, twelve impressive marble pillars are carved in praise of the gods of light and their followers.
At the top of the church, a tall angel statue stands tall, and the smart wings behind the statue exude a soft, milky white magical light, enveloping the entire church.
The small Yandi Church is a place of worship and prayer, and people from neighboring villages often come to visit not only the people of the village.
Therefore, the arrival of the Boles family did not seem very abrupt.
The whole worship ceremony was solemn and solemn, pious and respectful, even if it was Cao Cao, an "outsider", he was also decent and decent. He knows the existence of ghosts and gods, although he doesn't know much about the gods of light, but he also knows that the other party has vast magical powers and unlimited power, so faith may not be talked about, but respect is inevitable. If he can be blessed by the gods of light, he, an "outsider", can be regarded as truly "taking root", and this root is not ordinary deep.
Until the end of the ceremony, the High Priest of Darens was not seen. It is rare for the High Priest to be absent from the church, but today it is an exception.
Cao Cao's heart was unusually peaceful, the joy and sorrow were not obvious, the waves did not appear, and the presence or absence of the high priest seemed to have nothing to do with him.
As they were about to leave the church, the Borles met a burly knight, the captain of the knight squad stationed in the church, Chris.
Chris didn't stop everyone, just glanced at Cao Cao a few times in surprise.
The Borles family bowed slightly to Captain Chris, and then walked slowly out of the church.
Chris stood still, looking thoughtfully in the direction of the crowd's departure.
......
Some things are destined to be unavoidable, and the difference is only a matter of time and time.
No, on the way home, the Borles family still met High Priest Darrens.
The High Priest was in a hurry, but he stopped and accepted the greetings from the crowd.
High Priest Darrens frequently returned the salute, and when he moved his eyes to Xiao Cao Cao beside Mary, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, and couldn't help but look at it twice, and then said a word, but everyone was relieved and excited, sad and depressed, and had different feelings.
"This kid is very gifted, and his aura is especially good, and if he is older, he can consider sending him to the church college......"
The church college was built next to the Yandi Church, which was small in scale and quite a few years old, and was taught by the clergy of the church, teaching theological courses, and those with better qualifications would also teach some magic and martial arts. In addition, students with excellent training and good conduct may also be selected as new clergy, monks, knights, and even priests, and those who are extremely outstanding will also go to the Great Temple of Light, listen to the Pope's personal teachings, and be conferred higher temple positions, which is really a bright future.
However, the many expenses of the church college are not affordable by ordinary people, and only dozens of large families in the entire Santa Fe village can afford to send their children, and they can only send the most important individual children in the family.
This is where the Bles are quite sad, and their family does not seem to have this ability.
Cao Cao naturally didn't understand this, and he was in a surprisingly good mood now.
In the whole process of Fang Cai, Cao was peaceful and humble, humble and polite, the inner lake was not prosperous, and his performance was so good that even he himself was a little surprised.
From the slightly surprised eyes of High Priest Darrens, Cao Cao caught a trace of imperceptible appreciation, yes, that is, appreciation! With more than 60 years of life experience in his previous life, Cao Cao's ability to observe his face and color was comparable to that of other people, and that hint of appreciation made Cao someone's heart finally fall that had been hanging for a long time.
Is it really that you are suspicious?
......
Sunrise and sunset, clouds roll up.
It's been another three months.
Cao Cao had already set up a position in his courtyard.
In the church, the high priest's expression and words made Cao Cao feel at ease, so he let go of many taboos and devoted himself to exercising more attentively. Although the crisis has been resolved, Cao does not want to live in a muddy life, and he is not willing to spend his life so plainly in the next life. "The world outside is wonderful. Cao often said to himself.
Of course, fist and foot martial arts can't be put on display, and you have to practice them slowly after entering the church college, so as not to frighten everyone and cause unnecessary trouble.
Therefore, in the courtyard in front of the house, the biggest change is that there are many more stones of different sizes. After chopping wood and carrying other tasks were done, Cao began to toss these stones.
"Skills must be built on the basis of a certain amount of force. Cao thought so.
Big brother Hart suddenly became diligent, in addition to helping the family do things, he also exercised quite crazily, and the amount of food also increased a lot, in the past three months, the originally thin body has become stronger, and the thin face has a little "meat" feeling.
When the second brother Ritter is idle and bored, he will occasionally follow the practice, but obviously his mind is not there, the popularity is quite limited, the eldest brother Hart has no time to play with him, so he simply plays with Xiao Xiaosha, and if he can't do it, he will go out to find someone to play, the village is so big, there are many children as big as him, but he doesn't have to worry about finding a playmate.
The third sister Misha naturally doesn't practice, and occasionally doing a little work has made her feel hard, but she has reached an age where she is extremely playful, and she is fresh and curious about everything.
As for Monya, she is also one year and five months old, and she is "fine" in her speech and walking, but she does not seem to fit well, including with her biological sister. I like to hide at home all day, and I don't know what Lu Dao is doing. MedellΓn and Selena are busy with things and don't have much time to take care of her, so when they go out to work, they simply take her with them, anyway, Monia is very quiet, and she doesn't run around, which is not too worrying.
Borles and Marie were busier, and on the northern hillside, a field was cleared, not much smaller than their original plot, and all kinds of crops were grown. The old village chief, Brady, had brought people to see him not long ago, but he didn't say much, but asked for an appropriate increase in taxes every year. Mr. and Mrs. Boles had no choice but to accept that the taxes were still within the affordable range compared to the increased gains.
Fortunately, the children were still well-behaved, especially Mundt and Hart, which made them feel that everything they did was particularly meaningful. The children come to the fields every day to help, which also reduces their burden to a certain extent.
......
The night is deep and starry.
In the early summer night, there is still a hint of coolness, accompanied by the wind, just sleeping soundly.
Mr. and Mrs. Borles, who had worked hard all day, had not yet slept, and the low voice of words sounded from time to time in the humble room.
"Let's let Hart go first in the second half of the year, Hart is already more than seven years old, and his age is long enough. Meng De is still young, and it will take a while, so let's find a way. It's just that Hart, the kid, was originally so peaceful and gentle, but in recent times, he has become more and more stubborn, and he doesn't know if it's good or not. Mary babbled.
The last time he came back from the church, the eldest son Hart kept clamoring to go to the "church college", which made the Borles feel a little guilty, because they had no ability, and the family really had no extra money, even if the only elk was sold, plus a dozen or so chickens that had been raised for a long time, it was not enough to make up the cost of half a year, so they could only wait for the crops to mature, hoping to sell them at a good price at that time.
"I think the same way, Hart has always been the pride of our family, and we can't ignore him too much because of Mende. Besides, Hart can come back and teach Mende if he has learned well. Hart has worked so hard for a while and has been helping the family very hard, although he is a little stubborn, I am very happy. He used to be too weak, but now he looks like a boy. β
"Misha is a little squeamish and playful, but she is getting more and more cute, but Ritter has not been very bright, which is the most worrying. Marie was upset.
"Don't worry too much, everyone has their own way, Ritter is just a little more honest, he doesn't use his brain when he talks and does things, but he is not very stupid. Besides, Hart and Mende will help him when the time comes, and Misha, can't you also help a little bit? She is so cute, and when she grows up, it will not be a problem to find a good family. Boles comforted softly, "The great gods of light have favored us so much, and our lives will surely get better and better." β
"Yes. Mary sighed softly, her voice softening, "Claire and Ruth are getting older, just help take care of the house, they should be idle." We're young, so it's okay to work hard. β
Boles couldn't help but be a little moved, his wife Marie has a big personality, and her appearance is not good-looking, but she is an excellent person: "My dear, marrying you is the most correct and luckiest thing in my life." β
"Go, and you will know that you will say these fleshy words. Mary glanced at her husband. The room was dim, and whether Boles could see it or not, this look still had to be enough, "Save yourself the energy to talk, and go to the field early tomorrow." β
"I'm sure I'll be there early tomorrow. Boles was in a good mood, grinned, and continued, "But my dear, I still have some strength left for today, what do you think I should do?"
"Then get up, go to the field now, you can't waste it. Marie smiled slightly, and under the influence of her husband, most of the boredom in her heart dissipated.
"Oh no, it's so late, it's dark outside, it's not good to be scary. Boles laughed.
"So what to do?"
"I mean, there's a sport that we haven't done in a long time, and now that everybody's asleep, aren't we...... Drill drill?" Boles' eyes gradually lit up, he was not yet thirty years old, and he was the age of an energetic and bloody tiger wolf.
"I hate it, how can I think about it, I don't want to have another child, it will kill me. Marie was a little helpless.
"It's what you said 'can't be wasted', you know, I've been saving up for a long time. Boles smiled a little badly.
"Disgusting, bad guy, **......" Marie laughed.
"Honey, you couldn't be more right. Now, can we get started?"
