Volume 1 The Winter of Halma Chapter 26 Lectures

Andu recalled a few things about Ruskin, but realized that he knew very little about them, so he spoke to Walkley beside him.

"Do you know anything about Bishop Ruskin?"

"You know, his father is the high priest of Honningswag, and he is also the bishop there, and I heard that he has officially broken through the five precepts and become an official regional bishop the year before last. ”

"As for Ruskin, it has been seven or eight years since he came to our Halma to serve as bishop, but his talent is not very good, and he has not been able to reach the three precepts until now, otherwise with his father's relationship, he would have been a real sacrifice a long time ago. ”

"Honningsvog. Andu muttered in a low voice.

He has some impression that this city is a big city, with a resident population of more than 8 million, and it is one of the largest cities below the provincial level.

I didn't expect that Ruskin's father would be a strong man of the Five Rings, a legitimate regional bishop.

The priest of the Five Rings is already a real powerhouse on the mainland, and in the current situation that Akmund is no longer able to obtain the favor of the gods, it is only possible to go further through the awakening of divinity.

It can be said that the five precepts are strong, and they are already the limit that human beings can reach the limits of mortals.

Andu made a note of Honningswog and continued to Walkley, "Is there anything else besides these?"

Walkley pinched his forehead and thought for a moment before saying.

"No, Bishop Ruskin has nothing but a bad temper, and if you judge Ruskin only according to the bishop's criteria, I think he is qualified, at least he never favors anyone. ”

Is it just? Also, it is impossible for the Church to send a person who has no merit at all to serve as a local bishop.

Andu thought to himself, his knowledge of Ruskin was a little more perfect, he took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, and looked up at Walkley.

"You can go, the teacher should be about to start. ”

"Time flies so fast, let's go!"

As soon as Walkley heard that Roy's side was about to start, he immediately grabbed Andu's arm excitedly, and rushed out: "Hurry up, hurry up! There are not many opportunities like this!!"

"I know, don't pull me!"

"You're walking too slowly!!"

“......”

Dragged by Walkley, it took only two minutes for the two to arrive at Roy's quarters.

Unlike ordinary clergy who live in the living quarters, Roy lives in the ashram, a solitary retreat room in the far north that has been his residence for more than a month.

The two looked at the church colleagues standing at the door, and knew that the lecture had not officially begun, so they stood aside and looked at the flowers and plants in the courtyard.

This was also the first time that Andu had seriously admired this garden, although he had often passed by here before, but at that time he had no time at all, so he never paid attention to it.

Looking at it this way, Andu couldn't take his eyes back anymore.

This garden in the retreat area is pruned twice a week by a dedicated gardener, and the vegetation in the garden is very neat, with a small number of flowers of different colors scattered to make it look particularly meaningful.

However, what really attracted Andu at this time was not the elegant scenery of the garden, but the flowers and trees and other vegetation.

Windward Grass, Honeysuckle, Purple Leaf Maple, these things are not very valuable, but they are all I need now!

Andu suddenly discovered that there were seven or eight kinds of materials in this garden that could be used to make crazy potions by himself, and although they were not rare plants, they were more varied.

What's more, in the prayer area, the rest area has similar gardens, if the plant species in each garden are different, maybe you don't have to buy them yourself, just borrow some here and maybe it's enough?

Andu secretly thought in his heart that he planned to go to the potions shop when he had time, and maybe he could come to the church to borrow some of the materials that he lacked.

"Well, borrowing one or two shouldn't be a big deal, after all, the garden is so big. ”

Andu explained to himself.

"It's open!"

I don't know who shouted, and then the people who had been standing at the door subconsciously looked up.

The door of Roy's sacrificial chamber had been quietly opened.

Because most of the people present were senior church clergy, and everyone was of high quality, there was no crowding or pushing at all, and one by one, they lined up and walked into Roy's room.

Anduand Walkley stood far away, and by the time the two of them entered, there was no place in the room, and Roy didn't immediately appear.

This retreat room is different from the usual, except for an empty room, there are two wooden doors, and there are obviously other rooms, but at this time, the retreat room, which is quite large, is very crowded because of the number of people.

Because it was too crowded, from time to time someone would step on others, or be stepped on by others, everyone smiled awkwardly, but no one exited the small room because of the crowding, until everyone stood still one by one, they all looked down at the Bible they had brought with them, waiting for Roy to appear.

It was only after two minutes that Roy came out from behind a door, and Andu looked sideways at the door and saw only a faint bed.

The teacher can't be oversleeping, right?

Andu thought strangely in his heart, and then dispelled this idea, if Roy overslept, then who helped open the door?

After thinking about it for a while, Andu didn't come up with a result, but Roy's voice came from his ears.

"There is a lot of time today, so I'll pick a few volumes that I know more deeply about first. ”

"If you have any questions, you can ask them one by one after I've finished, but I don't want anyone to interrupt me because it's not disrespectful to me, it's to everyone else here. ”

"So here we begin, first of all, the first book of the Bible, Genesis. ”

This book is about how the Lord Almighty created the world and gave us where we are today. ”

"So let's take a look at ...... first"

Roy didn't speak fast, and his voice explained the Book of Genesis clearly and loudly, and in the small room, apart from his voice, Andu couldn't even hear a trace of breathing.

Although it was crowded, no one showed the slightest displeasure, and it was a rare blessing in their lives for them to be able to listen to a priest's explanation of the Bible so closely.

They were hungry to learn and understand, and even if they encountered a fragment they didn't understand, they resisted the urge to ask questions, intending to wait for Roy to finish explaining before asking questions.

Andu looked at the colleagues around him, who were exemplary students, and suddenly blushed a little.

In particular, he found his colleague and friend, Walkley, shaking his head with an excited face, pondering and agitating for a while, listening to the lecture like a psychiatric hospitalite, and Andu felt ashamed.

It's like you're the only one deserting?

Andu had never seen such a good learning atmosphere, and at this moment, Andu felt like rat poop in this pot of porridge......

Roy explained the contents of the Bible intently, and from time to time spread his gaze to everyone, watching them nod seriously, or frowning in contemplation, which made Roy feel relieved for a while, until his eyes appeared on his students.

Andu seems to be wandering his mind?

In Roy's heart, a strange emotion grew leisurely, and he couldn't believe it, so when he was explaining, he began to focus more on the direction where Andu was.

Hey, Sacrifice Roy is watching me?

Walkley was suddenly a little moved, could it really be my talent that moved Roy's sacrifice? Sure enough, the emperor lived up to his heart!

Could it be that the Roy Priest was going to take me as a student!? Yes, it must be so, otherwise why would he arrange for me to receive Andu? I know that there is a reason for this!

Elsewhere in the room, slowly someone began to notice that the Roy Priest always seemed to be looking in one direction.

Could it be that I wasn't trying hard enough, wasn't I religious enough? Someone looked in a certain direction and found an unfamiliar face.

I heard that Roy's sacrifice has taken in a new student, is that him? Looking at him like that, he is obviously not attentive! No, how dare he not take Roy's sacrifice class seriously??

It must have been Roy's priest who taught him in private!

No, Roy's sacrificial class is rare, I don't have a sacrificial teacher, I must be more serious and work hard! Only in this way can Roy's sacrificial class see it in his eyes and give more guidance and suggestions!!

In the small room, everyone had their own ideas, listening attentively to Roy's lecture on the stage, and their eyes were full of enthusiasm and sincerity.

As for this, Andu didn't even look up to see Roy speak, his attention shifted from Roy to the ingredients for the Crazy Potion two minutes after Roy spoke.

It's not that Andu doesn't want to hear it, it's just that because of what Roy said, Andu actually knows it very well.

Andu even felt that if it were him, he could speak more thoroughly and comprehensively than Roy, but Andu would never dare to say these words.

I also want to listen carefully and I want to be a good student...... But reality doesn't allow it...... Andu thought helplessly.

So, he wandered......

Until he was named by Roy.

Roy was patient, and finally finished the first volume, and before one of the probationary priests in front of him could ask a question, Roy stared at Andu.

Have I said everything in vain in the morning? Young people nowadays, they are so impetuous!

Roy thought to himself, and he didn't stop, and said in an urn voice.

"Andu, do you have any questions?"

Looking at Andu, who hadn't reacted at the first time, Roy couldn't help frowning.

"What are you thinking!? Roy Sacrifice is calling you!!"

Walkley anxiously pulled Andu's priest's robe, and looked at Roy's frowning brow out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly felt a trace of indignation.

Why are you so lazy, but you can have such a good teacher as Roy Sacrifice?Why do I work so hard, and Roy Sacrifice still doesn't want to accept me as a student!?

Walkley looked at Andu sadly, and the resentment in his eyes made Andu's heart furious.

"There's nothing wrong with Sacrifice Roy's asking you. ”

In the midst of Andu's hecticism, he suddenly heard a voice, and was about to cast a grateful gaze, but his expression was stunned.

"Robert?"
