Whispering Poems.

Chapter 7 God and the Church
"Isn't it really my bad luck?"

Xia De speculated in his mind about the chance encounter with Dr. Schneider just now. Fortunately, the growl of his stomach brought him back to reality. Now, it is still the most important thing to entrust.

With less than twelve hours to go, Shade had to learn to endure hunger.If he crossed into the forest, he might have a chance to hunt, and if it was a chaotic era, he might also have a chance to get food.

It is such a big city with order. If you want to fill your stomach, you must obey the order.Xia De stood at the door of the newspaper office, looking at the club where the "high-class people" came in and out not far away, looking forward to the feeling of hunger passing.Fortunately, now he only needs to stand in the fog and wait. If he needs to pursue, he really has no choice.

"I've never heard of any traveler going hungry."

He wanted to complain about his incompetence, but there was nothing he could do about the situation. He could only hope that the lady would show up soon so that he could file a report with his employer.

Standing there thinking about something, someone handed a flyer, and Xia De also took it.Looking up, he saw a smiling, round-faced missionary, wearing a white sacrificial robe, with the holy emblem of the church on his left chest, and a black pendant hanging on his chest, distributing papers to the nearby crowd.

Looking down, what was shoved into his hand was a church propaganda belonging to the [Church of War and Peace]. When Xia De was rummaging for items in the house, he had learned about the state of belief in this world, and knew that this was one of the Church of the Righteous God.

In the past era of this world, there were quite a few stories of gods, but in the current era, only five gods have been officially recognized by the government and the public. Therefore, the mainstream belief in the world is these five gods——

The Father of Peace, also known as the [God of War and Peace], the holy emblem is a white dove with light gray wings;
Mr. Dawn, also known as [God of Light and Shadow], the holy emblem is an upper notched ring, brass;

The old man with the lantern, also known as the "God of the Sun and the Earth", the holy emblem is the sun pattern, golden yellow;

The Lady of Creation, also known as the [God of Creation and Destruction], the holy emblem is a wrench, white and silver;
The Lord of all things, also known as the [God of Nature and Evil Thoughts], the holy emblem is two overlapping leaves, one withered yellow and the other green.The old man who transported the body not long ago was a member of the Church of Nature.

"Huh? Why are the priesthoods preached by the gods all relative concepts?"

Thinking of this, Xia De suddenly had more ideas about the world.But that kind of inexplicable feeling cannot be better expressed to myself.Some kind of power seemed to be touched in the blur, and a whisper sounded in the ear:
【You feel the 'miracle'. 】

This time, it is a "miracle" that is one of the four elements. So far, Xia De has come into contact with all of them except [blasphemy].According to the information mentioned by the voice in his mind, it seems that only by touching the complete four elements is he qualified to touch the mysterious door and open the transcendent door.

"It seems to be simpler than I thought, and it only took me half a day to get in touch with three-quarters."

So the woman's laughter sounded again in her head, which was really beautiful.

The five Orthodox Churches are not hostile to each other, and their relationship with each other is at least much better than the relationship between human kingdoms.

Churches vary in strength in different regions, but in the northern pearl city of Tobesque, there are five churches in existence, and there is a relatively "friendly" competition with each other.

Shade thought about these things, looked at the printed matter in his hand, and lamented that the printing press did not need to be "invented" by himself.While the print quality isn't very high, at least .
When I opened my eyes, I suddenly discovered important information. Most of the flyers introduced the teachings of the righteous God [Peace and Loving Father], and believers and pagans were welcome to come to the church to listen to the weekly scheduled sermons and sermons.

What is important is that it is written at the bottom of the paper that if you hold this flyer and line up at the gate of the church at 05:30 on weekends, you can receive free relief food.And it was written in a line of small characters, no matter how long the line is, as long as you show up before six o'clock, you will definitely be able to get a number plate and food.

Even if it was humiliating to receive this kind of relief food, at least let Xia De know that he would definitely not starve to death today.He touched his nose, wrote down the church address of [War and Peace Church], and then quite solemnly folded the heavily ink-scented flyer and put it in Mr. Hamilton's notepad.

In my heart, I thanked the god in a low voice. Although the feeling of hunger has not subsided, at least I am in a much better mood.

"It's actually not too bad luck."

Shade thought in his heart, knowing that Mrs. La Soya who was under investigation would not come out for an hour or two once she entered the club, so she wondered if she could talk to the missionary.

The world's belief in God is universal, and atheists are the minority of the minority.Of course, as long as he doesn't publicly shout that he doesn't trust God, it's actually fine, but Xia De intends to learn about these so-called righteous gods.In a world where belief exists, it is more dangerous to be ignorant of these things.

He was still thinking about how to talk to the other party, but the missionary had already gone far.I was very sorry, but I didn't catch up, but continued to stand there and wait. After all, when I got a firm footing, I had time to understand all this.

There are actually quite a few people standing at the door of the newspaper just like him. Most of them are reporters waiting for news, and a few are idlers who work for the newspaper.Today is Saturday, even though the weather is foggy, Valente Pedestrian Street, which is the main road, is very lively, so it is not unusual for so many people to stand here.

Although it is called a "pedestrian street", it does not prohibit the passage of horses and carts.While observing the club, Shard looked at the pedestrians and carriages passing by, which he thought would help him better integrate into the place.

There was a burning smell in the air, which of course was smog.But the smell wasn't heavy, just a mist that hung in the air, thickening as the sun moved from overhead to the west.

Shade was worried about his physical condition, and while thinking about it, he saw another carriage parked at the door of the club.Immediately looking up, it was Mr. Lawrence, the client's husband.

"Interesting, unexpected gain."

He whispered, wrote down the current time, and wrote the information in a notebook.

The client, Mrs. Lawrence, made a lot of money. If she caught her husband and his lover having a tryst at the club on the day of submitting the report, she might be able to pay more.

"But it's also possible that the angry woman implicated me."

Shade thought wildly in his heart, hoping to see Mrs. La Soya welcoming Mr. Lawrence at the door of the club. Unfortunately, Mr. Lawrence entered the club by himself.

Even though they were separated by a street, Shard could see the smile and excitement on Mr. Lawrence's face. He definitely didn't come to the club to play cards or drink tea.

"Good luck."

He said in his heart, shaking his head to record in detail what Mr. Lawrence was wearing today to prove the authenticity of his report.
