Hao Ren knew that it would be troublesome for him to communicate with the top members of these churches, because in the final analysis, "religion" is a sensitive issue, especially when your request is related to the core of their belief, and you are not asking for it out of belief in gods. when these problems. A die-hard religious fanatic might take such a rash request as an insult—in their view, all sacred rituals are inherently sacred, exist for granted, are valid, divine, and cannot be studied by mortals .
Of course, the Hui Yao Sect is a relatively tolerant and enlightened religion. Although their belief in the goddess is extremely firm, they adopt a missionary attitude towards the heretics by using actions instead of forcing them. This can also be seen from the four It was reflected in the ascetic monk, so Hao Ren felt that his request should be allowed. Anyway, the pope and the archbishop cannot be fools, they should be able to realize which is more important, the rigid old rules or the safety of this world.
Perhaps the lower-level believers are more stubborn, but the pope who sits at the highest position must be the most sober.
Auburn and the Pope discussed in low voice for a long time, and there seemed to be a few brief arguments in the middle. Then the Pope raised his head and looked into Hao Ren's eyes quietly, with a flat voice without any emotion: "This is a sacred The ceremony, since the establishment of the Hui Yao Sect, only clerics who have officially entered the religion and passed the primary test can participate. Although it is a basic ceremony that the most basic priests will come into contact with, it is still sacred."
"I understand," Hao Ren nodded, "but obviously the issue of the 'firstborn' is more important. This ancient creature was also created by the goddess, and its secrets are the secrets of the goddess—under this premise, we should let go of some stubborn Old tradition."
"The four masters trust you very much," the Pope said softly, "Didn't you ask them about the details of the tattooing ceremony?"
Hao Ren nodded: "Yes, I know that the ritual process is to fuse a sacred substance with human blood, but this sacred substance can only be found in cathedrals around the world. The four masters can only tell me about the process, But it's the 'substances' that interest me."
The pope was silent for a moment. Nodding to Auburn: "Take them to the Sixteenth Temple to watch the tattooing ceremony."
"Wouldn't that be against the doctrine?"
"If the inheritance of the sect went wrong in the fifth pope, we should trust the intuitive guidance cast by the goddess in our hearts, rather than those incomplete ancient scrolls," the pope narrowed his eyes slightly, "take them to Well, the goddess will allow it."
Bishop Auburn responded with a noble courtesy, stood up and turned to Hao Ren and the others: "Follow me. The Sixteenth Temple is not far from here."
Hao Renxin said that it was going well, and got up and followed the bald man with captions all over his face, preparing to go to the Sixteenth Temple. Lily was still holding a grilled chicken leg and gnawed hard, yelling indistinctly while gnawing: "Wait I will wait I will... why are you leaving..."
Hao Ren finally couldn't bear it anymore with this foodie, and stretched out his hand to copy Lily: "Can't you have something to do?!"
Lily subconsciously opened her mouth to bite, but fortunately she was held back. Seeing this situation, Nangong Wuyue was a little emotional: "The dog dared to go up to tease it when it was eating, and it was not bitten in the end - you really trained her out, Landlord."
Betsy was in a better situation than Lily, but when she put down the plate, she was obviously reluctant to part: you can't expect a local girl who has been drinking and bragging in pubs with the world's most vulgar gang of violent professionals for many years to be able to do it in front of the king. How reserved, in fact, the movement of her eating just now is not much smaller than that of Lily. Before leaving the room, the girl finally remembered that she still had an important matter to ask, so she quickly turned her head and looked at Moron: "Hey, wait a minute. Your Majesty, I almost forgot to ask—my bounty..."
Hao Ren was almost driven crazy by the guys around him who were dedicated to disrupting the atmosphere. He stepped forward and grabbed Becky by her scarf and dragged her back. Before going out, she yelled at Ophra who was staying in the room: "Don't forget to arrange for Becky's reward, this guy is going to have a heart attack because of this!"
Ophra nodded dumbfounded. Watching this group of guys who didn't play their cards according to common sense finally disappeared at the door.
The room was quiet for a few seconds, Moroen sat up straight suddenly, and the lazy old man's demeanor faded away, his eyes shone shrewdly, and his expression was very serious: "This group of people is not what I imagined. .”
"But it's the same as what I reported." Ofra looked up at the king. "Who told you not to believe it?"
Prince Huffman took out his handkerchief and wiped away the sweat that didn't exist on his forehead. He looked at the food on the table with a strange expression: "It turns out that they also eat human food."
The other ministers in the room nodded again and again, and Prince Huffman's emotion seemed to touch their hearts. I don't know what kind of image these guys made up for Hao Ren after hearing what happened in the Beinz parish. Anyway, Ophra just rolled her eyes after hearing Huffman's emotion: "Since I was a child, I have only had a stronger imagination than others."
Huffman shrugged dumbfoundedly and said nothing, while Moroen tapped his fingers on the table. Half talking to himself and half asking Ophra: "Did they really summon white light from the sky to directly destroy the entire Beinz Parish? I don't think they are much different from us humans... No matter in terms of image or behavior I can't see that kind of destructive power."
Ophra curled her lips, thinking that when you were four years old and chased after your mother's ass for candy, you didn't see the king's temperament, but considering that there were too many princes and ministers at the scene, I didn't have the nerve to say it. She just nodded: "This group of people seems to be just a... ordinary squad in a certain group they belong to, just like our soldiers, so their words and deeds are no different from ordinary people. But the power behind them is incredible .”
"How much do you know about them?" Moroun asked.
"Not much, what I know, you should know too," Ofra shook her head, "They are a team, belonging to a certain powerful force in another world. They have the ability to travel through time and space, organized and disciplined , I guess they will go to various worlds to solve problems because of their mission-just like solving the eldest son here. The members of their team are not very clear. The big man who appeared last time did not come this time, but The addition of a newcomer proves that they have some kind of personnel transfer and selection system. A team like this will have a leader, that man named Hao Ren. Other than that... nothing more."
Prince Huffman looked very serious: "Are you sure they are organized and disciplined?"
Ofra laughed helplessly: "Hehe... roughly, roughly."
"It is fortunate that they and the forces behind them are not hostile to us, at least they don't seem to be hostile now." Moroen closed his eyes slightly, as if he was a little tired, "We have too many problems to face, those manpower Let’s put aside the problems that cannot be solved. It’s a blessing that those foreigners are willing to help us solve the problem of the eldest son.”
"I would like to believe their kindness," Ofra laughed. "At least we have four masters and a little mercenary girl who have confusedly mixed up with them, and their lives are pretty good. This should prove that these foreigners are not evil."
Moron nodded slightly, did not speak, and opened his eyes to the Pope after a long silence: "What do you think?"
The pope's expression remained unchanged as before, as if his thoughts were always in a mysterious unknown area, and what was left here was only a body used to convey information, his voice was soft and slow: "We should focus more on thinking The will of the goddess. The existence of the 'Eldest Son' has already had a great impact on the top church, and the 'return sect' secretly developed by the pagans may also disintegrate the belief system we have established for thousands of years. This is Holleta, and even The foundation of civilization in the entire world has to face challenges. Find ways to minimize the impact of these things, let the teachings of the goddess continue to be the benchmark for the operation of the world, other than that, foreigners... just let them go. Since the goddess If there is no objection, then this is what should happen.”
At the same time, Hao Ren and the others had already left the palace, preparing to go to the mysterious place where the tattooing ceremony was held. (to be continued~^~)
