Tatuts means fog in the language of the Simons, and the city, as its name suggests, is covered with rainy, grayish-white fog for half of the year.

Simon is not the name of a country, but an alliance formed by dozens of small countries in order to avoid being annexed by other large countries in the world, how many small countries under Simon may never be known, and these countless small countries are also united by the same thing, that is, something essential and precious for the soul master, tin.

So Simon is also known as the Tin League.

According to incomplete statistics, 80% of the world's tin production comes from the territory of dozens of small countries under the Xi League, and the abundance of tin production must bring unprecedented prosperity to the soul master in this region.

But Ximeng can be regarded as the most chaotic place in the world, dozens of small countries are united because of interests, but there has never been a real leading country, countless religions and soul master guilds are pouring here, Ximeng is like a big treasure house, attracting countless people who want to get rich overnight every year to come here, some people succeed, but more people struggle all their lives and finally end up bankrupt.

This place is full of bizarre values, singing every night, even if every city in this place is still brightly lit at midnight, you don't know what the old man drinking at the table next to you is, maybe you will get here to change your life, but more often than not, you provoke someone you shouldn't have provoked, and then go in a dark alley and never return.

Everyone is ready to come here, either to get ahead or never look back, to die for money, but that's it.

Tatutz is a marginal city in Simon's small country, where an unmined tin mine was discovered decades ago, but the tin veins have long since dried up after decades of desperate mining, and this once prosperous small city has reached the point of running out of oil like the depleted tin veins.

Banker looked out the window at the gloomy sky, I don't know why, he had a very keen insight from a very young age, just like now, he knew that even if the sky outside the window was gloomy as if a storm was about to come, it would not rain a little until tonight, the church downstairs was about to end, and the congregants had enough time to walk back home, just like the priest said, God would not let the people who believed in them suffer.

Bank's eyes moved, he jumped off the windowsill, sat down at the table, and at the moment when Bank opened the book, the door opened, and Father Roft walked in, Roft was dressed in a black priest's robe, and there was a bright white cross hanging in the center of the priest's robe, Father Roft was old, his eyes were a little cloudy, his face was tired, his body had not recovered from a serious illness a year ago, and it was already very difficult to preside over this mission for more than an hour, but he still showed a heartfelt smile when he saw Bank, Roft glanced at the windowsill, and there was an obvious butt mark where Bank had just sitBut Roft didn't say much, just smiled, he stepped forward to look at Bank, who was pretending to be a serious student, touched his head and said, "God doesn't like children who lie."

Bank looked up at Raft's soft smile and stuck out his tongue, Raft rubbed Bank's head again and said, "Let's eat," and then Raft turned and walked downstairs.

Roft's chapel is in a clearing on the outskirts of Tatuc, and further back is a small village, where Roft has been a priest for fifty years, and Bank is not the first child he has taken in, but he must be the last.

Ten years ago, Roft picked up Bank at the door of the church, and Bank only left the word "Bank" in his swaddling clothes, which is a name, but there is no surname, presumably the parents who can abandon their own children, and they must not want to reveal their surname, so Bank followed Father Brother's surname, Bank Rovte.

As Roft grew older, there was only one child left in the church, and Roft liked Bank very much, because Bank showed his kindness and shrewdness at a very young age, and helped Roft in the church every day, but never complained.

Dinner has always been very simple, Bank quickly ate the rice in the bowl, and said a little vaguely, "Priest, in the evening Mrs. Thatcher wants me to help her house clean up the newly threshed wheat" The priest put down the rice bowl in his hand when he heard this, the rice in Father Roft's bowl was only half of Bank's bowl, Father Roft would pretend to eat a few large bites before each meal, so as not to be discovered by Bank, Rovt put down the bowl and put it on the table, for fear of being seen by Bank, and then said with some blame" Don't talk while eating, but cherish every grain of food God has given us"

Bank nodded while eating, and stopped talking, Raft hesitated for a moment and said again, "Go and do more to help Mrs. Thatcher, his son is not at home, Mrs. Thatcher must be too busy"

Bank nodded again, he had finished his meal by this time, he said a simple prayer and said, "Father, then I'll go first"

Roft nodded and said, "Go early, Mrs. Thatcher should stay at her house tonight, rest there when you are busy, remember to thank Mrs. Thatcher"

Bank nodded, put on his coat and ran out of the church, with Father Roft telling him to "stay safe on the road!"

Banker turned around and ran towards the small village outside the church, don't look at Banker is only ten years old, but he is already like a big child, the villagers like him very much, and Banker will always take the initiative to go to the village to help the villagers do what they can, over time, the villagers will take the initiative to tell Banker if they need help, and Banker has never shirked.

Father Raft staggered to clean up the food on the table, he was really tired today, but he still washed his hands carefully and walked to the main hall of the church, there are still some things that have not been sorted out after the mission is done today, and all this is unbearable for Raft.

Raft was a little slow to pack up the belongings on the altar, it had begun to rain outside, Raft was a little worried about Bank, he knew that Banker would definitely help Mrs. Thatcher clean up the wheat in the wheat field even if it rained, but Banker was a little weak, and he should catch a cold after the rain.

As Roft cleaned up, he thought that there was still a piece of ginger left in the church, and he would get up a little earlier tomorrow morning to make a bowl of ginger syrup for Bank, but Roft thought about it again and thought that there had been no sugar in the church for a long time.

Roft sighed slightly, and continued to sort out the things on the altar, when suddenly, the door of the church was slammed open.

With a slight smell of wind in the rain, a man was standing in the doorway, even though Rovt's eyes were a little spent, he could still see through the light of the lightning in the rain, the man was holding an axe in his hand, and the man walked towards Roft step by step without a word.

Roft didn't panic, he stood up straight, his hand holding the doctrine clenched slightly, raised his head to look at the man and said, "You can take whatever you want in the church, don't worry"

But the man didn't say anything, he grabbed the axe, and went straight over the altar, and slashed straight at Raft, who had come not to rob, but to kill.

Blood splattered all over the walls, and on the teachings that Father Roft was holding, and the man walked out of the church, and the rain was falling heavier, and he wiped his face, but there was still blood on his face, and he never said a word, and walked into the rainy night.

Bank ran back to the church early in the morning, but it was the first time he had seen so many people outside the church, and the first congregation to open the door for morning prayer saw Father Raft's body lying on the altar, and the blood had even reached the door of the small church.

The priest had the doctrine with him even when he died, but now it was in a pool of blood.

When Bank arrived, the priest's body had been placed on a cart, and the priest's body was covered with a black cloth, and Bank did not see Father Roft again

According to the people who saw Bank that day, Bank did not even shed a tear or even show any sadness, and he quietly watched as Father Raft's body was carried into the car, and no one saw him again.

A week later, a drunken man in a house in the city of Tatuc was stabbed dozens of times, and the man's face was cut off beyond recognition, but strangely no one knew how the assailant got into the house, and not even the neighbors heard a sound.

The man's body was also placed on the table, with a bloodstained book of doctrine on his chest.

That afternoon, Bank himself went to the Guards in Tatuc, and then Bank mysteriously disappeared from the detention center.

Bank didn't know who he was, he didn't know what he was going to do, he didn't know what he was going to do in the future, but he knew that everything happened for a reason, but after Father Roft died, he didn't care about all this, the world was sad, this was the only thing Ignaiz people said to Bank when they came to the prison.

And Bank also said the first thing he said when he entered the prison station: "God can't save anyone"

After that, Bank sat in the small three-story house in Hurlis, he knew that Luo Mu was coming back before anyone else, but he still sat quietly, and only when the sound of the door opening downstairs sounded, and Miao Yun flew to the front and back of the door like a little swallow, Bank got up and walked towards the door.

Luo Mu was standing outside the door, followed by a pony covered in cyan flames.

A smile on Bank's face was the same as that of Father Rowt, these two people were probably all that Banker had, and Bank didn't even want to leave these two for a moment, his eyes never understood by anyone, just as no one knew that he always had a bright white cross stained with blood in his pocket.

But he knew for himself that he would never let the past happen again.

He swears.

"Brother Mu, you're back"

Banker said with a smile.
