Aslan Ticklow watched the priest walk out of the restaurant and closed the door before sitting down again. He was sitting very close to the candlestick, so the light from the candlestick illuminated his pale face even more gloomy.
The name Aslan Ticklow sounds like a Westerner, but his face is generally Asian. And he was sitting beside Grandine Klein right now.
"Unexpectedly... Father Constantine is actually Asian..."
The one who spoke at this time was a blond white man, quite handsome, a bit like the hero of the American drama "Prison Break". He was sitting directly opposite Grandine. Although the clothes on his body were shabby, they possessed an extraordinary grace.
"Lucius," Glendinne glanced at the door of the restaurant, remembering the priest's instructions, and said in a low voice: "Don't talk about Father Constantine casually. The Pope has repeatedly mentioned to me that no matter How can you never be disrespectful to the priest, and you are in awe of the priest when you talk. And... In terms of strength alone, the Pope himself admits that he is not as good as the priest!"
"You can't even compare with the Pope?" Lucius was obviously shocked when he heard these words: "The Pope is in charge of the Ark of the Covenant and the Holy Grail, with such strength, he can't compare with Father Constantine? "
"Yes, I am very clear about the character of His Excellency the Pope. If he said that, he would never be exaggerating."
For a while, the atmosphere in the restaurant was somewhat depressing.
"Klein, I still can't believe what you said." It was a black man at the corner of the dining table who spoke at this time.
"Gabriel, as I said, don't talk about priests lightly." Grandine said this, her expression became a lot more serious: "You should know whether we can get 'salvation', so that our names can Appearing in the Kingdom of Heaven scroll of Revelation, Father Constantine is the key."
The black man named Gabriel was silent for a long time. Just when Grandine thought he would not speak again, he suddenly spoke again in the dark.
"However, the one who decides whose name will be recorded in the "Apocalypse", shouldn't it be the legendary angel, Kressel?"
Kress Aier, when the name came out, everyone showed a dignified expression. The people sitting here are all devout Christians, and they all have strong respect for this legendary angel.
In the restaurant, there are a total of twenty-two people, male and female, with different nationalities and races, but they are all devout Christians without exception.
Although there were indeed a lot of things to say, everyone was tired and hungry. As time went by, they gradually had no time to continue talking. They all lay on the table, waiting for the priest to bring them meals. And in this process, the most silent person was Aslan Ticklow. He hadn't said a word since he stood up with Grandine and asked the priest if he wanted to help prepare dinner together.
Moreover, due to fatigue and hunger, other people no longer cared about their sitting posture, and in this dark environment, many people's eyelids began to fight. However, only Grandine Klein and Aslan Ticklow have maintained a standard sitting posture, even tied the napkin around their necks, and arranged the tableware and plates on the table.
At this moment, the door was suddenly opened.
A scent came out.
Father Constantine pushed a dining car into the room, and now only half an hour has passed. The dining car is packed with all kinds of delicious western food. Chicken salad, anchovy shrimp, grilled foie gras, baked snails, iron plate steak, Italian pasta, Australian lobster, pudding, matsutake soup, borscht, etc., and a bottle of red wine was also placed.
"There's still wine?" Grandine showed a look of surprise. After all, they are well aware of what the world has become now, and they no longer have half a requirement for food, and they can feast on even the most unpalatable simple food. But I didn't expect that the dining car was filled with all kinds of high-end western food!
"Could it be... Father? Do you still have a cook here?" Grandine showed a look of surprise: "I am really flattered to receive such hospitality from you. We only want to be able to wrap our stomachs. I really trouble you, Father. These few days The bottle of red wine looks very precious, please put it away, Father."
"It's okay, it's just a bottle of wine, there's still plenty in the wine cellar. I'll pour the wine for you first. I'm too hungry to eat a lot right away, drink some wine first."
However, Father Constantine took out a special wine corkscrew and opened the wine bottles for them one by one with skillful movements.
This sumptuous banquet begins here. Then, the priest sat at the head seat of the long table, then raised the red wine glass in his hand, and said, "Everyone... let's toast God first!"
The twenty-two people at the banquet picked up the red wine glasses in front of them one after another, and then raised the red wine glasses.
"God!"
Afterwards, twenty-three Christians drank the red wine in their cups one after another. Afterwards, they all lamented that they had never drank such a good wine!
"This is... the wine from Obiang Chateau!" At this moment, a pretty blonde girl praised the red wine in her hand and said, "Father, am I right?"
"Yes, Miss Rothschild."
"You... Father, do you know my last name?"
"Yes, Miss's temperament is very comparable to others, and I met your mother many years ago, and you look very similar."
Having said that, he turned his attention to Aslan Ticklow again, and said, "Mr. Ticklow, do you not like my wine?"
Aslan Ticklow did not touch the red wine on his table.
"I don't drink very well, so I hope to keep my head clear. What's more, as a Christian, I must not be drunk."
This time, Aslan Ticklow spoke English, not Chinese just now.
The Bible does not forbid Christians to drink alcohol, but it forbids them to get drunk. So since Aslan said that, it was reasonable.
Christians drink very moderately, so they mainly enjoy the high-end western food in front of them. And they all praised the priest's cooking skills. During the conversation, I learned that before their arrival, there was only one living person in Lakmar Cathedral, the priest.
After drinking and eating, everyone thanked the priest again and again. And then... it's time to get to the point.
The eyes of the twenty two people all turned to the priest.
"Since you have come to New England and Lachmar Cathedral, you should have received the edict from the Vatican. Therefore, you should all know... Although you are all devout Christians, you still bear the original sin, Only 'Atonement', your name, can appear in the scroll of the Kingdom of Heaven in the Book of Revelation, thus stepping into the gate of the Kingdom of Heaven."
"Father!" At this time, an Asian woman wearing a cross necklace asked excitedly, "Can we, can we really move our name from the hell scroll of "Apocalypse" to the heaven scroll? ?”
There was silence in the restaurant. Everyone was anxious, waiting for the priest's answer.
At this moment, in the eyes of everyone, he is equivalent to the spokesperson of Jesus Christ!
"Everything is decided by God. When you come here, it is your only chance to 'redeem'. And I am only responsible for welcoming and settling you, and supervising your 'redemption' process."
Christianity holds that man is born sinful. Because of this, to step into the gate of the kingdom of heaven, one cannot avoid the path of "redemption".
"Then..." At this time, the black Gabriel said nervously: "The angel, Cressel, will come to the Lachmar Cathedral and bring the "Apocalypse". What we have to do is..."
"Yes." The priest gave an affirmative answer: "Just as the Vatican's edict said. Cressel will see your atonement and erase your names from the book of hell in the Book of Revelations." , and recorded in the Kingdom of Heaven scroll of "Apocalypse", and this... only Kressel can do it."
"However, this is not without a deadline. You should know that May Day is coming soon."
"When May Day comes and you still haven't successfully redeemed your sins, what awaits you...is only to fall into hell!"
