Jenkins sees Finny among the children in the choir, and her presence here indicates that the girl managed to officially join the choir before the end of winter. This means that she no longer has to worry about her own food in this life. She lived in the church as a child, and can become a nun in the church when she grows up, or get a decent job under the arrangement of the church. As long as you don't betray the church, you will have a rich and fulfilling life no matter what.
This is an extremely enviable life. Even the middle-class families who are the backbone of society cannot guarantee that they will have no worries about food and clothing throughout their lives.
Only God is eternal, and only the Church is eternal.
After the group entered the clearing, the animals following behind them did not move forward, but lay down around the clearing in a very orderly manner, quietly watching what happened in the clearing.
In ancient mythology, such a sacred scene can only be seen when a saint appears. In Jenkins' home, there is a picture of "Sages Coming into the World". In the painting, an unusually holy woman sits on a boulder by the lake, explaining the knowledge of the earth and farming to people sitting cross-legged on the grass under the stone. , Deer, goats, birds and other animals lay harmoniously in a semicircle, as if they were also listening to a lecture.
"What's going on here?"
As stupid as Jenkins was, he knew that these animals were behaving unusually.
"[The source of life] shouldn't have such a big effect... Could it be that because I created this forest, it now resonates with my soul source?"
This is true to a certain extent.
"You know we've housed some horrible things on the outskirts of the Evergreen Forest, right?"
Dad asked in a low voice.
"of course I know."
"The instincts of these animals are reminding them of the horrors outside the forest. But a few days ago we were arranging baptisms, and they were not allowed to appear near the water pool. Now that the place is reopened, they will come back naturally."
"is that so?"
Jenkins felt that reasoning was far-fetched.
"Probably so. There is no better explanation, unless there is something else we don't know."
Dad said vaguely, and then asked:
"Then what do you think? Why?"
"Is it because..."
Jenkins thought about it, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration and felt that he had found the truth again:
"Is it because of the wooden dagger left to me by the God of Music?"
The dagger was now broken into three pieces, quietly soaking in Jenkins' spirit.
"Could it be that the real function of that dagger is to attract small animals? The god of music wants me to build an army of animals and then fight bloody with the undead army? Isn't this too... cruel?"
Leaving aside Jenkins' wild thoughts, preparations for the baptism are well under way.
And since it is going to be baptized, of course it cannot escape the link of taking off all the clothes and entering the pool. Jenkins is extremely resistant to this link, but this is a rule that has been passed down from ancient times, and even the Holy Son cannot change it.
The learning ceremony of the divine art [Blessing of Books] was arranged after the baptism. Miss Bevanna seemed to be worried about having long nights and dreams, because the more she postponed the baptism, the more likely she would encounter unknown troubles.
The early spring morning breeze blew over the treetops and branches. Under the tree, the clerics wearing holy white sacrificial robes stood in two rows in front of the water pool. Between them was a path covered with petals.
The innocent and lovely children brought stools and stood in three rows in a staggered up and down pattern by the water pool and the petal path at a forty-five degree angle. The sacred and melodious song was sung by a childish voice, and in this song, the animals on the edge of the clearing whispered in tune.
Those peaceful and docile animals lay down harmoniously and naturally in a semicircle surrounding the giant tree, looking at Jenkins standing on the petal path with soft eyes.
Among the animals, the black and white fur-colored chocolates are particularly eye-catching. It originally wanted to climb up the tree to find a better viewing angle like last time, but in order to prevent falling down, it could only reluctantly stand with a group of rabbits and wild cats.
The young cats were dwarfed among the creatures, but very popular. The group of rabbits "actively" came up with the chocolate, so that the cat could enjoy the rabbit fur cushion for a short time.
"Meow~"
I will also ask Jenkins to buy him a rabbit fur cushion in the future, which is indeed more comfortable than the outdated cushion in the antique store.
"Meow~"
The cat opened its mouth wide and yawned, waiting for the unexpected to happen, and the next thing will be very interesting.
It was still Miss Bevanna who presided over the christening ceremony, and as everyone settled down, the ceremony began in an orderly manner.
Jenkins walked towards the water pool from the middle of the path formed by the white-robed priests. The priests kept pouring holy water, flower petals and other things that represented holiness on him.
When I came to the water pool, the morning light just passed through the old trees with luxuriant branches, casting a ray of sunlight on the water pool. The shimmering water reflected Jenkins' tangled complexion.
He really didn't want to get naked in front of so many people, especially with Miss Bevanna standing nearby.
The early spring wind blew through the treetops above, and this week after leaving Nolan, spring is becoming more and more obvious here. Winter is really over, and the warm sun shines on the body, making the whole person warm.
I don't know if the sun and the giant tree were joking with Jenkins. There were two beams of light falling from the sky through the gaps between the leaves, one shone on the pool and the other shone on Jenkins.
"No, I haven't learned [Building the Stage] yet..."
This is a bit like the effect of stage spotlights, which makes Jenkins, who is about to take off all his clothes, feel even greater pressure.
Seeing Jenkins in a daze in front of the pool, Miss Bevanna could only signal him to hurry up with her eyes. Seeing that the young Mr. Writer still didn't respond, he stretched out his hand and wanted to touch his button.
Jenkins was taken aback, then literally jumped to his feet with a startling bang. It was only later that I realized that it was not me who was jumping at all, but the strong vibration caused by the explosion, which made my body jump up instinctively.
The sound of flesh hitting the ground came one after another. When they turned their heads, the givers looked at each other in dismay, while the ordinary people all fell asleep and fell to the ground like fallen straw. Dark clouds drifted over from nowhere and covered the sun, plunged Nolan and the surrounding area into darkness.
There was a stink in the wind, and the cold feeling replaced the warmth of the sun in an instant. The black clouds in the sky roared like skulls.
"Oops, A-06-1-6269 [Good night, my child] actually activated."
Jenkins heard Miss Bevanna say this, but at the same time realized that such an abnormality was definitely not caused by that weird thing.
Unexpectedly, Jenkins' baptism was visited for the third time.
PS: [Good night, my child] in Chapter 840 and Chapter 841.
