"I'm really sorry to have to meet the messenger of the Lord in such a place."
The girl with blond hair~~ came to me, and then made a textbook-standard Christian etiquette on her chest, and said so in a respectful tone.
If any uninformed Christian believer saw this scene and recognized the identity of the girl, he would immediately choose to believe in Allah, right? The highest spiritual leader of the Puritan Church in England, the greatest bishop Laura, actually showed such a submissive gesture to a capable person in Academy City, this is even more unacceptable than Jesus Christ is actually a woman.
But now I'm thinking about something else.
"So what, if you can, can you speak English?"
Although under a series of language translation mechanisms and massive memory screening, I still barely figured out what Laura said, but this kind of situation is even more difficult than re-mastering a foreign language—I should It is said that the biggest bishop who accidentally dragged the line really has all kinds of hidden strengths
Well, from all aspects of strength.
I watched the girl in front of me calmly, quickly summed up all the data in my mind, and then uploaded it to a Xiling host that happened to be free.
Its real age is probably equivalent to several laps of mine. Although it may be a bit impolite to say it, this "girl" who looks only seventeen or eighteen years old in front of me is really an "old woman" as I guessed before. But I don’t know what method was used, the other party actually erased this age, and even extended his lifespan to more than ten times that of ordinary humans, and the entire physiological aging process has almost stopped... I don’t dare to reach the level of immortality I think, but before the arrival of the next millennium, this supreme bishop will definitely continue to be young, so why do all kinds of subtle feelings suddenly appear in my heart? Aleister is an old monster who has used science and technology to prolong his lifespan to theoretically thousands of years, and Lola in front of him is not inferior to him. Did Qin Shihuang pass through all the rulers of this world
However, Laura didn't care about my gaze. What she cared about was another thing: "Ah, what do you mean, Mr. Angel... I don't quite understand it."
Having said that, but seeing the sudden blush on her face and her slightly bewildered behavior, one can imagine that the chief bishop, who is called the fox girl, doesn't seem to have thought of anything at all.
Steele's expression tightened subtly, as if he was desperately enduring something, and then he coughed and said, "Your Excellency the Archbishop, I think Mr. Angel means that you'd better change to a language that both parties can understand, At least don't use this kind of... suspected Japanese thing."
"Eh?!" Lola exclaimed in a low voice, then covered her lips in embarrassment, and said in a panic, "My Japanese... my Japanese should be completely fine! Angel must have a different meaning!"
"Lola, isn't it?" I finally felt helpless at the unconscious side of the girl in front of me, "There is one thing that may be difficult for you to accept, but it is news from heaven..."
"yes!"
No matter what kind of panic he was in, after hearing the words "news from heaven", Laura immediately became serious, clasped his hands in front of his chest, then closed his eyes slightly, and greeted the coming news with a solemn expression. "Admonition", even the ruffian-like Steele immediately put out the cigarette in his hand and made the same action.
"Actually... Lola, your Japanese problem... is a shame to heaven, God knows it..."
This is a fact. According to Bubble, recently Ding Dong has also started to watch the magic ban.
"So let's talk in English."
"puff!!"
With an earth-shattering sound, Stiyl finally couldn't control it, and almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, while Laura suddenly opened his eyes wide, and then asked with despair on his face, "Is this true?"
Well, finally changed to English this time.
"Speaking of which, as a senior leader of Christianity, I am a little surprised that I personally went deep into a scientific base like Academy City," looking at the "girl" creature in front of him who was completely lost due to language problems, I awkwardly changed the subject, "What's the matter? Or are you just here for a pilgrimage?"
No matter how black-bellied she is, Laura is an extremely devout Christian. After learning that Academy City has the "God's Side" in person, it is possible for her to make a special trip here for a pilgrimage. For fanatical believers, it is normal to do such irrational things.
"As a servant of the Lord, after hearing that the angels have descended on the earth, no matter how dangerous the place is, I should come to obey the instructions. Isn't this a normal thing?"
When Laura said this, his expression was very serious, but some of it was true but doubtful. Just relying on Steele’s one-sided words, it’s still unknown how much Laura can believe in the identity of our “God Envoy”. According to the legend, the "angel tour group" is completely procrastinating, and can even be described as discrediting heaven. Can a devout believer at the pope level believe such nonsense
But... It seems that if you find a group of pleasing and obedient subordinates in this world with complicated forces, many things will be easily done, at least for the "angel" who will cause a world-scale disaster in Lin Xue's prophecy, I have no small interest.
Compared to Aleister, who is old and cunning and not very normal in thinking, I still think this fox girl who is equally cunning but can at least be tamed with faith is better.
"You should have heard from the old smoker," I said slowly, touching my chin, "Although we have a good relationship with God, the real God and the imaginary God in your beliefs are not the same concept , we don't care much about your beliefs, and the God and angels you worship are not us."
"Things like this are meaningless," Laura said with a smile. "Faith lies in our hearts. Believing in God, worshiping angels, and spreading the glory of the Lord are all our desires from the bottom of our hearts. Even if the Lord—ah, please God forgives my sins—what does it matter if the Lord does not exist?"
"As the chief bishop, your point of view is so strange..." I was dumbfounded listening to the words that came out of Laura's mouth, and sighed from the bottom of my heart, "You are not an undercover agent, are you?"
In fact, what I'm more curious about is how did Laura, who has such an alternative idea, get into the Christianity and be deceived until now
"The Lord exists, because we believe so, He exists in our hearts," Laura explained, "Then, as long as you are the messenger of the Lord, you are the person I should respect, but before that, I don't know Are you qualified to feel the glory of the Lord?"
Sure enough... Do you want a letter of introduction from God
This woman doesn't seem so simple. In a sense, the other party should be the kind of "reasonable fanatic", unconditional belief, unquestionable worship, even if she knows that the God she believes in is just a man-made creation The idols who come out will also offer all their piety. Even if they know that no one will listen to their prayers, they can still preach tirelessly. What she believes in is not the Lord in the scriptures, but the God in her heart. Psychologically, we Calling this phenomenon... anyway, it is a very strange psychological phenomenon.
Laura stared at me with curiosity in her eyes. It seems that she is not completely suspicious of the news brought back by Steele. After all, it belongs to her confidant, so she still has some trust. Now she wants to see it with her own eyes. What about "the glory of the Lord"
"Alaya, prepare a shadow space."
The patented technology of the Apostles of Xiling, the shadow space, is a world creation method that has reached the level of creation out of nothing on the material level, although it is false. The effect of matter is a miracle that people on earth cannot touch within 10,000 years, but it is a necessary "tent" for Xiling people to travel at home. The shadow space created by Pandora replicates a whole K City, and Alaya's shadow space partially reproduces her own residence on the home planet—it should be no problem to use it to deceive the archbishop, right
"Don't move around for a while, damage to public property will be fined twice the original price." I said so, and then I stretched out my hands in a decent manner.
"Huh?" Laura and Stiyl were surprised at the same time, presumably their original idea was just to let that angel show up so that they could "go on a pilgrimage" for a while, and they never thought of my plan at all.
And in my opinion, although I don't doubt Lola's magical attainments, Aleister is not an idiot after all. It is hard to guarantee that he has any other way to monitor the movement here. Instead of taking such a risk, it is safer to change better place.
At this moment, the surrounding space finally began to change.
The far and near scenes are like disturbed water, shaking slightly, except for a few people standing here, it seems that everything has become an unreal projection. Qing reluctantly chose to retreat, and our connection with the world quickly became weak.
"How is this going-"
Stiyl spoke in surprise, but the delay caused by the space turbulence is actually the delay caused by the laws of the world not being able to deal with it. His voice sounded ridiculously turned into a long sound when the tape recorder was out of power.
Then, everything around it shattered like glass, and a white halo suddenly descended, covering everything.
The halo dissipated, and we emerged in a bleak garden.
Dim, please allow me to use such a word to describe the garden, because there seems to be no sky here, and above our heads is a dark and chaotic space without any light source, but this space does not seem to need light to let us see The surrounding things, under our feet are some kind of ground made of pure white jade, and there is a fan-shaped flower bed next to it. Various flowers and plants that cannot be named are planted in the flower bed. At one point, Roman-style white stone pillars formed three circular arcs, enclosing this garden with a diameter of about 100 meters. Outside the walls of the stone pillars, there was a large piece of chaotic cloud and mist constantly surging, as if Blocking something on the opposite side of them, according to Alaya, there is still an unlawful area connected to the void, because it is a parallel space formed in an instant, the area of the shadow space of this shortcut version is quite limited, and a certain person seems to be I didn't have time to generate a more reasonable sky for it.
Golden light gradually emerged from the surrounding air, and then converged into a young girl's figure. Alaya made a gorgeous appearance as always, waving her big wings with a wingspan of three meters slightly, and immediately the gloomy courtyard was filled with holy spirits. White light, those white jades obviously have a strong affinity for the holy light. Driven by Alaya's power, they emitted a milky white halo one after another, making this gray space finally have a taste of heaven.
Are you using yourself as a light source... Alaya, you can really do it.
"This... here is..."
Stiyl is not an idiot. He is well versed in magic and has already realized that he has entered a completely unfamiliar space. Even the air is filled with energy forms different from those on the earth. Under the urging of the Holy Light, part of the spiritual power generated by faith in him and Laura became agitated like never before, even more active than being baptized in the Great Cathedral—no matter what the form of their magic is, as long as the idol they worship is The form of an angel is destined to be unable to be dragged away from the agitation of the power of the Holy Light. This is a general law that is forcibly injected into every world due to the "existence" of the gods in the star field. For those gangs, the mere "existence" can make the world I am really fascinated by the BT defined by attributes...
"Welcome to the kingdom of heaven, um, even though it's just a small garden next to the reception room - you know, mortals basically can't bear any light of the kingdom of heaven, and only this place can temporarily receive human beings like you."
Anyway, no one will dismantle it, make it up.
"If you can, even if you give your life to receive that light..."
Finally, Laura was no longer as indifferent as a mountain at the beginning. At this moment, her hands were clasped in front of her chest, and there was an extremely obvious fanaticism in her eyes. As a devout believer, to have such an experience of entering the "Kingdom of Heaven" obviously made her She's running out of adrenaline.
"Even if you give your life, you can't afford it." I don't have any light from the heavens to give her, a large dose of void radiation can be seen everywhere, "That is the truth of the world, something you can't understand and don't need to understand. That old smoking gun over there—the Bible says that smoking is strictly prohibited within 100 meters from heaven, don’t you know?”
"Ahem..." Stiyl coughed violently a few times, then hurriedly threw the cigarette on the ground and stamped it out, "Is this written in the Bible?"
"From now on." Laura frowned dissatisfied, and the seriousness in her tone made me have no doubt that the archbishop would really add this prohibition to the Bible.
Suddenly I feel that this is a very interesting look... Why don't you play again
"I said," with a helpless gaze, I shook my head and looked at the bewildered Steele, then pointed my chin to the ground, "You'd better take this thing back before the urban management comes over."
Stiyl was taken aback: "There are city management in heaven?"
And Laura yelled to Stile almost like crazy: "You idiot! Pick up the cigarette butts!!!"
It can make calm Emperor Lola go crazy, it seems that the fool has succeeded.
"Okay, now let's get down to business."
I sat down on a stone chair next to me, and Alaya immediately came over and put the wings on my lap. Before I took out the comb, I suddenly had a thought: If I spread a tablecloth on the wings to make tea Knowing how this stupid angel would react
"First of all, the purpose of your coming here, well, although the arrival of angels is a very important event for Christianity, I don't think you have become so fanatical that even the prudence of the chief bishop is put aside."
After confirming our "identities", Laura was obviously more respectful. Although the chief bishop is also the spokesperson of Jehovah, she is still a level lower than the angels who really stand by God, so she immediately bowed her head Lai replied: "The main thing is to verify whether your arrival is real, and I heard from Steele that you hope that the British Puritans can help the kingdom of heaven find the lost angels. As the largest bishop of the British Puritans, I think It would be better for me to listen to the order myself."
It’s nice to say—in this way, an order that I said casually can be directly elevated to the level of the oracle of the kingdom of heaven, and then it is equivalent to treating the British Puritanism as authentic. The meaning is obvious: the Roman Orthodox Church failed to obtain God’s That's why God gave his will to the Puritan Church in England. This fox girl really knows how to plan.
Use each other? At least in my opinion, that's right.
"We all know what happened. An angel has been separated from everyone. I declare in advance that I can't tell you about this angel's rank, name, and ability, because those are not things that can be said from my mouth," I made up nonsense, and Laura immediately had a disappointed expression on her face, "Your task is to find her as quickly as possible, but since the other party is special, don't contact her rashly after you find her. You should inform me as soon as possible, do you understand that?"
Luo La nodded: "Although I don't understand it very well, if it is an order from the kingdom of heaven, I will definitely obey it."
Really, every sentence is inseparable from the command of the kingdom of heaven, and the British Puritanism is completely placed in the position of God's confidant!
"Well, that's the best. In this way, there should be no need to go to the Roman Orthodox people."
I nodded decently, and Laura immediately made a regretful expression: "Ah, that's a pity, because the Roman Orthodox Church has lost the honor of serving the Lord."
Believe it or not, I changed my mind!
