Looking at Gao Yuan's back gradually moving away, Chen Fan felt a little melancholy in his heart.

"Hey......"

He sighed softly.

Don't pay too much attention to these things. 】

After perceiving Chen Fan's depressed mood with the help of various physiological indicators, he comforted Chen Fan:

[Such things are common in religious times.] 】

For the sake of the ethereal gods, these ignorant intelligent creatures can do anything. 】

"No, I'm just a little sorry."

[Sorry? What to regret? 】

Chen Fan smacked his lips lightly: "Tell me, what a good intelligence baby." ”

"One, you said that if he didn't contact me, where should I go to get information so easily in the future?"

【……】

[You're a real dog! 】

Chen Fan shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

Dog?

If you can live safely in this world, what's the harm of a dog?

"Let's get down to business first."

Chen Fan raised his head to identify the direction, and quickened his pace towards his house:

"What do you think should be the situation outside the city right now?"

"And ......"

Chen Fan's voice paused: "Why is Gao Yuan's reaction so big when I mention the outside of the city?" ”

[If the catastrophe in the first year of Varela was caused by a large-scale nuclear war, then ......]

"A nuclear wasteland filled with radiation?"

【…… The environment outside the city should be pretty good now. 】

“…… Yes? ”

Yi's answer was completely beyond Chen Fan's imagination, and he hurriedly asked: "Shouldn't there be any filthy gas outside, that is, nuclear radiation?" ”

[You don't want to think about when this nuclear war happened.] 】

[The old calendar broke out in 1800, and now it's the year 2067 of the old calendar.] 】

[For exactly 267 years, the outside world has long since recovered almost. 】

Chen Fan was stunned.

In his imagination, the damage caused by nuclear war should be extremely large and long-lasting.

Yi's words gave him a new understanding.

[Don't underestimate nature's ability to heal itself, and don't overestimate the lethality of nuclear bombs.] 】

[In the final analysis, the nuclear bomb is just a killer weapon of a first-class civilization.] 】

[As for Gao Yuan's reaction......]

Yi was silent for a moment: [This machine cannot make accurate judgments. 】

[However, considering the history of Varela City and the religious system within it, I believe that this should be related to the Church.] 】

……

Varela City, East Town.

Standing on the shoddy pavement paved with slightly potholes made of cement, Chen Fan carefully looked at the low-rise residential building in front of him, which was only three stories high, where his home was.

The dusk sunset reflected on this low-rise residential building, reflecting a touch of desolation.

The smell of food wafted from the building.

It stands to reason that the residential building should be quite lively when it is close to the meal.

But......

Whether it was the residential building in front of Chen Fan, or the other residential buildings he passed along the way, it seemed extremely quiet.

This inexplicable silence even reveals a bit of weirdness.

On the road, numb pedestrians walked briskly in groups of threes and twos.

A woman with a little girl walked past Chen Fan with a slight slump.

At the moment of passing, the little girl quietly turned her head, and her big eyes flashed with a little curiosity, as if she was thinking about the reason why Chen Fan was standing here motionless.

Chen Fan subconsciously pulled the corners of his mouth and showed a smile to the little girl.

"Smack."

Suddenly, a crisp sound came from ahead.

In pain, the little girl squinted her eyes and retracted her head.

"What are you looking at?"

The woman cursed the little girl in a low voice: "Beware of offending the gods, the church will send someone to arrest you!" ”

After speaking, the woman cautiously turned her head to look at Chen Fan.

Seeing that Chen Fan was not wearing the standard robes of the clergy, the woman's tense expression relaxed slightly.

But she still didn't say much, just grabbed the little girl's hand and walked quickly into the distance.

Chen Fan couldn't help but frown.

He didn't feel much when he followed Deacon Carlisle to the main church.

But now he realizes a problem: the silence of the city is built on the high-pressure management of the church.

Under the full surveillance of the goddess and idol, all believers are afraid to say the wrong thing.

After all, no one knows if they will be sent to the church execution table for saying the wrong thing.

Just as Chen Fan was staring at the backs of the mother and daughter gradually moving away, two footsteps, one heavy and one light, came from behind.

"Your Excellency the Chosen One?"

The familiar soft sound came to my ears.

Chen Fan turned around in some surprise and saw the wide black hood that had just touched his chest, and a slight smile appeared on his face: "Priest Isha? ”

"Why are you here?"

The black hood shook slightly: "I ......"

"We are announcing to the believers the time of the descent ceremony."

A slightly older voice came from behind Isa.

Immediately afterward, Chen Fan noticed the wide white robe and the slightly burnt yellow skin under the hood.

This is also an old acquaintance.

"Carlisle?"

"I didn't expect Your Excellency the Chosen One to remember me." The burnt yellow skin under the hood twitched slightly, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying, "It's my honor." ”

"Of course I do."

Chen Fan smiled and nodded: "Speaking of which, I have to thank you for reminding me, at least Priest Quinton didn't trouble me." ”

Hearing this, the black hood, which was only as high as Chen Fan's chest, moved slightly.

Seeing the smile on Chen Fan's face, Carlisle's tense mood gradually relaxed: "This is what I should do." ”

"Your Excellency the Chosen One, in three days, the Descent Ceremony will be held in the Land of the Descent, please be sure to arrive at the church in advance."

Chen Fan was naturally full of promises.

"That's right."

"The news of the Great Descent Ceremony...... Are you done notifying? ”

As he spoke, Chen Fan glanced at the low-rise residential building next to him.

"It's been notified." Carlisle instantly "understood" what Chen Fan meant, and he bent down slightly, "Your Excellency the Chosen One's mother is very cooperative with our work. ”

She also asked about the Third Oracle Ceremony.

"She's happy to hear you've caught up with the oracle ceremony."

Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

I have to say that he is really afraid that his cheap mother will give him a hard backstab!

He turned his back and nodded calmly: "Then I won't disturb your next work." ”

Hearing this, Carlisle also subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Excellency Isa, it's time for us to go."

Nothing happened.

Under the white hood, the corners of Carlisle's mouth twitched slightly: "...... Your Excellency Isa? Lord Isha?! ”

Chen Fan looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but be stunned.

This......

What's going on?

Is there anything else Isha wants to talk to him?

Just as Chen Fan was deep in thought, the wide black hood moved again.

“…… You're right, Your Excellency the Chosen One. ”

Chen Fan: "......??? ”
