Volume 1 The Winter of Halma Chapter 24 Life is a Journey
Andu looked at the pocket watch in his hand with satisfaction, the silver texture looked very comfortable, not very luxurious, but very durable.
The pocket watch made of a small amount of black crystal has a strong hardness and a high-end shock-absorbing design, which is the best choice for home travel and sneak throwing.
So I have a self-defense prop, well, ordinary people definitely can't think of its actual effect, Andu thought to himself.
Andu generously paid three silver dollars, but he was not very distressed, after all, it was doped with black crystal, and considering the cost price and maintenance costs, Andu did not bargain much.
Andu, who left the watch shop, went straight to the Southern Circuit Church with two bags in his hand.
......
"Roy Sacrifice, don't you have to go out today?" Walkley looked at Roy in front of him in astonishment and subconsciously asked.
"No, when is Andu coming?" Roy nodded faintly.
"It's going to be there in a while, and he's been coming to church for the first two days. ”
Walkley looked up at the huge two-man pendulum hanging in the center of the church, and affirmed.
Roy nodded, looked at Walkley's slightly nervous expression, and smiled.
"You don't have to be so nervous, have you read the Bible seriously lately?"
"Yes, yes, but some of the teachings are too profound, and I don't know much about them yet......
"Well, you're still young, and there's still a long time to learn in the future, so let's talk about it, what do you don't understand?"
"Uh, Roy's sacrifice, look at the first sentence, and this paragraph, and ......"
Walkley didn't have time to think about it, so he opened the Bible in his hand, pointed to the marked place, and excitedly began to ask Roy questions.
Roy is very patient, he will explain every question that Walkley asks, he will explain carefully, even if Walkley does not understand very well, he is not annoyed, but repeatedly gives examples, until Walkley confirms that he understands, he will explain the next paragraph.
Walkley listened intently to Roy's guidance, did not hide what he did not understand, and did not worry about upsetting Roy, the two of them seriously discussed the allusions, doctrines, and admonitions in the Bible, not noticing that the number of church members around them was gradually increasing.
"Huh?"
Walkley listened to another of Roy's teachings and was about to take a note, but out of the corner of his eye, he found that he and Roy were already full of people standing next to him.
They stood in a circular position enveloping Roy and Walkley, some of them looking puzzled, some frowning, some of them suddenly realized, and some of them were confused.
Roy also noticed this, and he looked at the church staff next to him with an expectant look on his face, and smiled.
"If you have time this afternoon, you can come to my room and study the Bible. ”
The crowd of onlookers showed a look of joy, and only a few unlucky clergymen who had work in the afternoon showed bitterness on their faces, and secretly said in their hearts that it was a pity.
Andu looked at the church personnel gathered in the church, a little strange, he thought about it, and decided to wait for the others to disperse to see if Walkley was there.
Joining the church is nothing new, and many people know about it, but if you really want to stand in front of them, they will definitely not recognize it, so why bother to step forward?
It's still a nuisance to be asked.
Do you want to tell them that I came in through the back door of the Roy Sacrifice?
Andu stood patiently aside, not letting him wait too long, and the crowd dispersed completely after a while.
Andu also found Walkley as he wished, but what he didn't expect was that Roy was there.
"Teacher. Andu walked up, bowed slightly to Roy and said hello, I haven't seen him for a few days, Andu still misses this middle-aged man.
"Well, here you are. Roy didn't go to help Andu, just quietly watched Andu bow slightly to himself, and waited until Andu finished before continuing: "I heard Walkley say about joining the club, have you thought about next week's working hours?"
Andu nodded and said, "I think about it, I'm going to come to work in the church from Monday to Wednesday." ”
Roy didn't ask Andu why, and said directly: "You are only a missionary of the church now, and your main work is relatively simple, all of which are to help with cleaning, and occasionally go out to preach, you can ask Walkley for details." ”
Roy pointed at Walkley, then looked Andu up and down, and said strangely, "Why don't you wear a priest's robe?"
Andu smiled awkwardly and said, "I forgot to take it home yesterday, I just got it back today, I'll change it later." ”
Roy didn't bother to pursue Andu's clothes, and said to him.
"Change your clothes and look for me in the main hall of the ashram. ”
After saying that, Roy turned to Walkley and added, "If you are okay in the afternoon, you can also come to my room to study the Bible, I will be in church for the next few days." ”
Walkley nodded excitedly, and opened his mouth to say, "I'm fine in the afternoon, today is not my working day!"
Roy smiled at Walkley and Andu, and left the main church with a steady pace.
"Andu, you really don't know, Roy's sacrifice is so profound in the understanding of the Bible!"
Not long after Roy left, Walkley said excitedly to Andu.
"Ha, didn't you see that the whole church just now gathered around to listen to Roy's lecture on the Bible, tsk, but it's a pity that you came a step late. ”
"I saw it. ”
Ando rolled his eyes at Walkley, and he knew very well how much Roy was attracted to him by this fanatical religious man.
A living sacrifice is not a substitute for the cold characters of the written Bible in the interpretation of the Bible.
What's more, with the little contact he had with Roy, he could feel that the other party's understanding of the Bible was indeed deep enough, and many high priests might not even understand as well as Roy.
Walkley was very dissatisfied with Andu's perfunctory attitude, and said with a smile.
"I tell you, though you are gifted with Bible understanding, if you become complacent because of it, it will not work!"
"You have to persevere, so that you can be a good priest in the future, and even a good sacrifice!"
"I see that you will be fine in the afternoon anyway, why don't you go with me to Roy's sacrifice to listen to him preach, this opportunity is not much, you must know that I have been waiting for this day for a full month!"
"Eh, don't go, I'm not done yet!!"
I don't want to go to class, I'm busy!
Ignoring Walkley's invitation, Andu gently drove him away and went to the ashram.
Finding a retreat room where no one was around, Andu locked the door and began to change his clothes.
Walkley's vision is still good, this priest's robe he only gestured to Andu a few times at the time, but when Anduzhen put it on, he found that it just fits, not too big or too small.
Andu came to a mirror, looked back and forth, and then put on a series of expressions such as seriousness, seriousness, pity, and so on.
"Tut-tut, no matter how you look at it, you look like a professional pastor!"
After the audition, Andu also nodded with satisfaction, after many years of pastor career, Andu wore the most pastor robes.
Feeling the low-level thermostatic effect of the priest's robe, Andu couldn't help but sigh that Akmund's attainments in the talisman array were indeed high-end, and the church's financial resources should not be underestimated.
He is now just a missionary, and he only wears the lowest-level priest's robes, but he still has a low-level thermostatic talisman array, which shows that in Akmund, all the low-level clergy are the same in terms of configuration.
However, it is very troublesome and cumbersome to draw a rune array on clothing, and the failure rate is also very high.
As a result, the price of clothing or equipment with magical effects has always been high in Akmund, such as the heavy armor that Andu saw yesterday.
Considering that it was not for fighting, but only for life, the priest's robe that Andu was wearing now might not be so exaggerated in price.
But even so, in Andu's eyes, it was no problem for this priest's robe to sell for thirty or fifty silver dollars.
As for drawing runes on clothes, it's completely different from cards.
Even the top card painters may not be very high in the attainment of the rune array, and this kind of work of drawing the rune array is generally done by the friendly neighbor of the southern part of the Aaronic Empire, the rune master association of the Duchy of Sagoth.
Similarly, those who can draw circles on their clothes must be the people from the Talisman Masters Association.
Being able to assign such a large number of staff members of the Fu Array Master Association to help, the power and influence of the church can be seen from these aspects.
And in addition to the thermostatic effect, the priest's robe also has a low-level purification effect, which can effectively prevent the erosion effect of low-level demons, and it also has a bonus for devils.
"The background of the church is really strong. ”
Andu smashed it, smashed it, although he knew this for a long time, but when he felt it again in the real world, this impact was completely different.
As for whether it's in the game, Andu doesn't think much about it.
In the past few days, he finally confirmed that none of the names he was familiar with appeared in Akmund, and he had not met a second traverser other than him at all.
So he has attributed all the things in his body to the fact that he has crossed over, and at the same time, he has completely dispelled the idea that he can be resurrected again after death.
After tidying up the hem of his clothes, Andu took out all the money he was carrying in the new clothes he bought yesterday and stuffed them into his arms.
Anyway, it has a constant temperature effect, and it is better to be in your arms than to be stolen!
Andu thought about it, for the sake of insurance, he still felt that he couldn't put it in his pocket, there were too many thieves in this world!
Even thieves can be said to be a profession!
Carrying two bags of clothes in his hand, Andu walked to the lobby of the retreat area not far from the next door.
It's still the same scene as last time, the difference is that last time it was Walkley who stood in front of Andu, and this time it was Roy.
"You should have tested it here before. ”
Roy's steady voice came, and Andu put down the bag in his hand, walked to his side, and said with a wry smile.
"It wasn't a good experience. ”
"I heard Walkley say it, but fortunately nothing happened in the end, and it was a gift from God. ”
"Teacher, is there something to do with me today?"
"Well, next Wednesday, I'm leaving. ”
"Why?"
Andu looked at Roy in amazement and said in surprise.
"I'm from Maras, you should know. ”
"I've heard of it, it's the city of the church where the teacher used to be. ”
"Maras summoned me back. ”
Andu looked at Roy silently, but he didn't expect that the two had only known each other for a few days, and this teacher, who had a good impression on him, was about to leave.
The originally good mood immediately lost its color, and Andu was silent for a few seconds, opening his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
"Life is like a journey, you have to go to many places to see the world as it is, don't be depressed, we will meet again in the future. ”
