The cafe was cleared in advance because the Sons were going to meet in the cafe. Of course, in such a rainy afternoon, there are actually not many people in the cafe, so it is not considered a "disturbance".
Mr. Gref, much older than Jenkins, had arrived early, so Jenkins saw him when he opened the door. It was a handsome man with sharp eyes. Before Jenkins walked in the door, he was idly folding a napkin; when Jenkins sat across from him, the napkin was folded into the shape of a flying bird and placed in the middle of the table.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Gref."
"Good afternoon, Mr. Williams, it's an honor to meet you on such a wet afternoon. Would you like something to drink? I noticed that Nolan's cafes are willing to provide customers with high-calorie drinks. I like this a little."
Despite the vast difference in age and origin, the two talked as equals, and even Mr. Gref showed some subtle deference to Jenkins.
He met Jenkins, on the one hand because he was curious about who the strange Son of God was stationed in this city, and on the other hand because of what happened on Monday.
"Mr. Williams, you did a great job defeating the Angel of Fire in the end."
He expressed his curiosity very cryptically, his curiosity about the power Jenkins used was too powerful. But regarding this matter, Jenkins could not answer him, the power of the sage he used in the state of the Son, and any secrets in him had nothing to do with it.
"Maybe it's because my physical fitness is better, so I can bear more force."
He guessed it casually, but when he said it, he felt like he was mocking the other party's weakness.
It is impossible for Gref to stay in Nolan for a long time. There is no [Church of Creation and Mechanism] church in this city. Maybe the church can arrange some people to stay there secretly, but if the Holy Son stays here for a long time, it will cause the local church collective protest.
So the man Jenkins was talking to at this moment had no impact on Jenkins' life. After Jenkins and him met once, I am afraid they will not see each other again for a long time.
"Speaking of which, there is still no progress in the church's investigation of the gift clock. It is only found that the owner of the clock shop is an important leader of the [Gear Craftsman Association]. It seems to be the chief priest or something. Mr. William, Nolan is really a Interesting city, I think they may encounter more trouble in the next investigation."
"Yes, this is indeed a very interesting city. Like the huge activated gear steam giant last week, I don't know what you think of that thing?"
I mentioned it casually, but I didn't expect a great reaction from Mr. Gref.
"It's a bad thing to say, but I think it's a great work of art, a great masterpiece... oh, please don't look at me like that, I know it's creepy, but it doesn't stop me from admiring that The beauty of the machine…”
Jenkins also agrees that it is a creation like a work of art. The mechanical order and the chaotic and chaotic shape of the strange things are harmoniously combined, and mortals cannot create that kind of thing.
"Speaking of which, Mr. Williams, what do you think of the mechanization of the human body? I think you should also know that the church is making attempts in this regard."
"It's a bold idea, but I think it's better for the human body to be more natural."
Jenkins used a very implicit statement. In fact, he is quite opposed to the non-biological modification of the human body. Mechanized prosthetics are all well and good for the poor, born or acquired, but Jenkins has always felt that it would be a disaster to modify the human body for great strength or something like that.
"It seems that I am really a conservative person."
He thought of this, then picked up the drink in front of him and took a drink, noticing the thoughtful expression of the middle-aged man on the opposite side.
(Chocolate is running... )
Jenkins knew from half a year ago that he is now in a world where gods and humans are far apart, but they are absolutely closely connected. Whether it is a righteous god or a false god, they can communicate or give instructions to their mortal followers in the form of oracles.
The Orthodox Church has a tradition of cultivating pure-minded girls as nun reserves. Among these girls, some lucky ones with special talents will be selected. Giving any task is even easier than semi-clerical staff like Jenkins and Dad.
And their task is to receive the oracle. Whenever the god sends the oracle, these highly inspired girls will feel it, and then put the appropriate material to accommodate the oracle—such as a large piece of mithril decorated with gemstones. Panel - Placed under the holy symbol of the church, this is the most common way of receiving an oracle.
After meeting the pagan Son of God, Jenkins heard that the sage had issued an oracle on Monday when he returned to the church. The matter about the descending of the killing angel was here, and it was the initial conclusion.
"The sage told us that the sixth angel who appeared at the end of that day was the pure one under the newly promoted [God of Lies]. This is about the same as our guess."
In Captain Bincy's ward, Jenkins told the man in bed the news he had received, and the latter showed such an expression.
"in addition… "
Jenkins continued to speak expressionlessly, trying to hide his inner thoughts.
"In addition, apart from our church, Nolan's other orthodox churches have also received their own oracles. The gods defined the killing of angels as a massacre of innocents, and announced that the church would kill [the massacre] within a hundred years." Believers of the Lord] are regarded as mortal enemies... "
Although the Orthodox Church is hostile to the believers of the evil gods, setting them as mortal enemies in the form of an oracle means that not only will they be arrested and judged when encountering these cultists, but even more so when they are not encountered. Take the initiative to find them and capture the trial.
"According to the original text of the oracle from Beldyran, the sage allows us to use any means to obtain information about the Whip of the Dead and destroy them without violating the core teachings."
"Did Sage mention his admiration for Nolan's suburbs?"
Captain Bincy waited until Jenkins finished speaking, and immediately asked impatiently.
"It seems that there is no such thing. When Mr. Smith relayed it to me, he didn't mention it."
Jenkins replied, and as expected, he saw a look of regret on Captain Bincy's face.
