It is a magnificent castle-like building divided into three areas.

The outermost part is the Faithful Quarter, which is the Cathedral of the Church of the Scourge.

Every day, a large number of believers come here to offer sacrifices to the gods, offer incense, pray for protection, pray sincerely, receive baptisms, and priests give alms, do prayers, and enlighten the world.

Unlike the Church of the Holy Spirit, the Church of the Holy Spirit believes that after death, the soul will either ascend to heaven and be blessed forever by the presence of the God of Light, or go to hell and suffer the karmic fire of hell. Those who believe will have eternal life, and those who do not believe will suffer forever.

The Church of the Catastrophe, on the other hand, believes that human life is given by God, and death is just a matter of God taking back the life that God has given. Thus the god of the underworld, Agas, is the greatest being, who causes everything to be nothing. However, this does not mean that they are in favor of death, as the Church of the Scourge believes that no one can arbitrarily take the lives of others except the gods of the underworld. Only death after baptism is a clean death, and life returns to the arms of the gods and reappears on earth one day.

The Temple of Odin in Dongda 6 doctrinal believes that death is not a terrible thing, only ** is dissipated, and the soul is never destroyed. The soul can even be sublimated, the believer can become a god, and the unbeliever can become a demon.

From this we can see that no matter what kind of church it is, it is good at defining life and death. Because they know very well that life and death are always the number one priority in any life.

Of all the definitions of life and death, the Temple of Odin is the most tolerant of death, believing that death is not terrible, and even expecting it. Therefore, the main fighting force of their church is that of fanatical, fierce and fearless berserkers. The Church of the Scourge consecrates death through their teachings, thereby controlling the life and death of others. As for the Church of the Holy Spirit, it falls somewhere in between.

Fortunately, although Lasseter is a berserker of Dongda 6, he is not a priest warrior of the Temple of Odin, so he is not a heretic, otherwise he would probably accept the punishment of the infidels first when he comes here.

Religious disputes have always been cruel and have no mercy to talk about, after all, they involve issues of belief and principles.

Beyond the cathedral, there is the quarters of the clergy of the Church of the Catastrophe. A large number of Dark Priests, clerical warriors, and some special identities such as the Guardian of the Holy Radiance. This area is relatively complex, with living quarters, training areas, confessional quarters for the clergy, and an inner hall for the presbyterians to deal with housekeeping.

Further back is a tall temple. This is the third and most important area of the Church of the Scourge: the Sacrificial Temple.

There is a huge altar inside the sacrificial shrine, which is said to have existed a long time ago. No one knows where it came from, only that it possessed a strange power that could communicate with the gods of the underworld when enough sacrifices were made.

"You're saying that it's right there that you can communicate with the Immortal?" asked Xiuy, a little surprised.

Isardo laughed, "As early as the first time I talked to you, I told you that God exists, and that He is there for us, listening to our voices and observing our actions. Every once in a while, God will send down a parable through the temple to give us guidance, and we will do what He wills. ”

"Myth?" Huey was surprised.

"Yes, the Oracle!" replied Isadore in the affirmative, "The Church of the Scourge was founded under the guidance of the great god of the underworld, and thrives on its existence. You may not believe me, Huyglare, but the gods of the underworld have known about your coming. ”

"You mean the god of the dead knows I'm coming?" said this, which surprised Xiui.

"Yes. Isado nodded.

"It's incredible, God can see the future?"

"God is omnipotent. ”

"If that's the case, why are you making a deal with me? Isn't all the trade meaningless? Whatever you need, just ask God. ”

Isadore's face became very serious: "God is the creator of all things, and we are all just His people. To God, we can only give, not take. If you are religious enough, then you may be able to receive God's gifts. We are to be thankful and content with God's gifts. We are to listen to God's will, we are to fulfill God's will, and God's commands are to be carried out. Everything we do is done under God's guidance. We succeed because God needs us to succeed, and we fail because God wants to test our loyalty. For God...... You can never ask for it!"

This is the answer of a typical religious fanatic.

Xiu Yi calmed down slightly.

He knew that he had lost his words just now, but fortunately Izado didn't care about what he said.

After thinking about it, Xiui replied, "I still don't understand, if God knows about me, then why did you have to go through such a heated argument to make a deal with me in the first place?"

Isadore replied, "Because God knows, and we don't." ”

Xiu Yi was stunned.

According to the meaning of Izado's words, God knows everything, knows Shui, and even knows that Shui is coming. But his old man may not be interested in this, and he may not have told his people, so Isador doesn't know, and the Scourge Church doesn't know, which is normal.

To put it more bluntly, anyone standing in front of Isador can say to him very awesomely: "God knows everything about you and knows that you will be here." As for the fact that we don't know it, it's because God didn't tell us. ”

It's a very versatile magic stick technique.

This made Huey amused.

He could hear that Isadore believed in the god of the underworld from his heart, but for the so-called omniscient and omnipotent god of the underworld, Xiu Yi did not have the slightest affection.

It looked too ethereal, too ethereal.

"So, God is watching me now?" asked Huey.

"God created all beings, looked down on all beings, and everything was in His eyes. ”

"If all beings were created by God, then who created God?"

"God is a being born in response to the laws of the world, and no one can create it in symbiosis with the world!" Isado's face became serious. It was clear that he was not happy with Huey's rudeness.

Huey finally stopped asking.

As far as the eye can see, the tall temple in the distance, the incense that surrounds it, is filled with a strong mysterious atmosphere.

For some reason, Huey's heart suddenly jumped violently.

He felt as if some force was approaching him, peering at him.

There was a strange feeling in the depths of his heart, as if a voice was whispering in his heart.

It was as if something was calling to him.

This startled Xiuy, but when he felt it with his heart, the feeling was gone, and only the mysterious hall in front of him still stood.

"What's wrong with you?" Isador saw Huey stop abruptly.

"Just now...... It was as if something had gotten into my body, as if someone was whispering to me. Xiui looked at Isador in confusion.

Isadore had a satisfied smile on his face, "You finally feel the power of God, child. That's God's calling for you. As I said, God is great, He is omnipresent and looks down on all beings. He already knows you're coming. ”

Xiu Yi looked at the temple in a daze, and finally said, "Your Majesty Isado, can I go and worship the god of the underworld?"

"Of course, after closing our deal. ”

"Ahh

Simone sat up, and next to him was the man holding his head and yelling wildly. His eyes were blood-red, and the veins on his head were bulging, like an angry lion, roaring terribly.

"Brother Stone!" Simone cried.

She quickly jumped out of bed and brought the water she had prepared. Then he took out a towel and wiped it off the man's body with water.

Large drops of sweat fell from the man's body, and he roared in a low voice, his image hideous and terrifying.

Simone shivered and wiped herself for the man, she didn't know when the man would lose his mind and tear himself to pieces, but she still insisted on not running away, summoning all the courage to take care of the man.

The man's headache was suddenly onset half a month ago.

On his first day, he lost his mind and went berserk, nearly killing Simone. Fortunately, he finally regained his senses at the last moment and controlled himself, when Simone's neck bone was almost broken by him.

Soon after that, every day or two, the man would have a headache. Every headache made him extremely terrible.

It is amazing that Simone showed extraordinary courage at this time.

Whenever a man is sick, she will be by his side to take care of him tenderly. After a long time, Shi's condition turned out to be significantly better.

He no longer loses his mind when he acts.

Today, the man's pain seems to have improved significantly.

It only took ten minutes for him to stop growling.

He lay on the bed, deep asleep, like a child.

When he woke up the next day, the man was empty.

Out of the cabin, Simone was sitting alone in the bow of the boat, unaware of what she was thinking.

The man came to her side and sat down, and said with a little difficulty, "Thank you." ”

Simone looked at the man in some surprise.

These days, she has to talk to the stone a lot, like teaching a child to babble. As a result, Stone's speech became more and more fluent, but he never took the initiative to speak, always answering passively.

But today, he broke that habit.

This made Simone happy.

It's not easy to get this stubborn guy to change.

But Simone believes that no matter how difficult it is, the problem will always be solved.

It's a pity that there is one thing that Stone is still very stubborn, and that is that he always holds the black long sword and does not allow anyone to touch it.

This made Simone a little distressed. Once she asked him, "Brother Shi, why do you always hold it?"

The stone thought for a moment before replying, "I...... I don't want you to ...... Take damage. ”

"Hurt?" Simone, confused.

In Simone's view, a sword is a sword, how can it hurt others?

But no matter how much she asked, the stone would not answer.

Maybe he didn't know why, but he had a feeling deep down that no one could touch this sword but himself.

No, maybe there's one more person to touch.

But who is that man?

He couldn't remember.

A faint shadow loomed in his mind, but he just couldn't remember who it was.

And he now suffers from headaches whenever he tries to retrieve that lost memory.

However, as the number of headaches increases, the degree of pain gradually decreases, and with it, countless strange fragments in the mind.

He saw some special scenes.

Dark rooms, hideous smiles, hazy skies and bloody ground.

He heard something peculiar.

Fierce whippings, feeble wails, angry rebukes, and angry lion roars, pitiful pleas for mercy, prayers to the gods, and great explosions that shone with countless brilliance.

He smelled something peculiar.

It was rotten, moldy, foul-smelling, filthy, as if in a hellish world.

Occasionally, there is also a sunny side, like childhood memories, full of laughter.

"I ...... yesterday Had a nightmare. He said.

"What is it?" Simone asked curiously.

"There's a ...... Girl. He touched his head and said.

Simone's face turned a little ugly.

He continued: "She's dead...... Died a terrible death...... But...... I can't remember who she was...... And a girl...... She's scary...... There is a large scar on his face...... I can't remember her either...... Who is it. ”

"Is that so...... Maybe your memory is coming back. I think your headache might have something to do with this. Simone whispered.

"But I don't want to think about it. He replied.

Simone looked up in amazement.

She was looking at her, and said in a straight voice, "If I remember...... Maybe I'll go. ”

He lowered his head like a child who had made a mistake: "I don't want to leave you, I don't want to lose you." ”

Simone burst out laughing.

She gently hugged him: "Good stone brother, you won't lose me." ”

"Ahem, ahem. ”

There were a few old man's coughs from behind.

Simone and Shi quickly parted, their cheeks flushed.

Secretly looking back, the old man was walking into the cabin with his hands behind his back, and said to himself as he walked: "Oh, this day is so poisonous that my old man can't even open his eyes." ”

"Plop!" Simone laughed, covering her mouth.

The man on the other side obviously didn't understand what was going on, and looked at Simone with a wretched voice.

He just looked at it, and he simply liked to see her innocent and sunny smile.

Simone's eyes rolled around, and she suddenly grabbed the stone's hand and shouted to the cabin, "Grandpa, I'll take Brother Stone to the shore to play for a while." ”

The old man's helpless voice came from the cabin: "Be careful, this area is the territory of Count Beavis, don't go too far." ”

"Got it, grandpa. ”

"Remember, don't go and pick the fruit from the tree. ”
