I'm going to have a fight with Superman

Chapter 275 The Holy Spring
When Van Helsing got off the spaceship carrying the N-metal magic cannon, his expression was in a daze.

Harley didn't force him too much, she just made an agreement with him that if he dies in battle, or the monks and soldiers of the Van Helsing Demon Hunt Squad die and go to the lower heavens, but he is not qualified to enter the City of Silver, he will be a "grass head" under her command. god'.

The old priest Carlisle followed her back to Gotham.

He will help Harley run Gotham Cathedral.

From the start, Gotham Cathedral wasn't exactly the property of the Holy See.

The land belongs to the city hall, and the ground floor building was built with funds raised by the rich in Gotham. The books, furnishings, and cultural relics inside are all from the Holy See.

Its ownership is somewhat complicated.

But the right to use is limited to church organizations.

Galavan was able to buy it before, using the name of the Order of St. Dumas.

The Order of Saint Dumas, like the Holy Crusades, is an armed group split from the Crusaders.

In terms of organization, doctrine and property, there is great independence, but it is a 100% formal church organization with hundreds of years of history.

After the Gellerman incident and the suppression of the Order of St. Dumas, many church organizations from all over the world set their sights on Gotham Cathedral.

Applications are also submitted to the city hall and the Holy See at the same time.

Although Gotham Cathedral has experienced a "zombie crisis" and hundreds of people died tragically, the location of the church is really good. It is located in Midtown Manhattan and covers an area of ​​thousands of square meters. There are tens of millions of income from tourism and sightseeing.

At that time, Gotham Cathedral still had the status of "Diocesan Headquarters of New York State and even the West Coast of North America".

In fact, the Holy See has also thought about re-arranging the archbishop to reside in the cathedral.

However, the former archbishop Marvin's reputation was too bad and his crimes were too bad. The citizens and the council of Gotham were unwilling to accept the archbishop from Rome.

Harley wants to take Gotham Cathedral, the city hall level is easy to pass, she is the BOSS!
The attitude of the Holy See is key.

Harley didn't show up and left it to the old priest Carlisle to deal with.

The old priest is not a wild monk. He comes from a monastic order that believes in Michael. It is small in scale and has little authority, but it has a thousand-year history and is also a regular monastic group recognized by the church.

Carlisle, Van Helsing, and even Harley herself, in secular church organizations, are not as powerful as the Pope of Rome, but in the pan-Christian alliance in the magic world, and among the believers of God who have been in contact with extraordinary powers, all three are first-class. Big Brother.

The Holy See didn't make things difficult at all, and immediately accepted Halle's application, and helped her register a new church—Paradise Mountain.

In the DC multiverse, Christians don't use "Paradise Mountain" to call heaven, because the real heaven is the 'City of Silver'.

Harley's position in Paradise is "Border Post Third Class", her official title is "Grand Duke of Paradise Mountain", and she calls herself "True Quinn" and "God Quinn".

Heavenly Mountain is the name of her fiefdom in Heaven. It is a huge hanging mountain with a radius of hundreds of miles and a height of [-] meters. There are also ten hanging mountains of different sizes around it.

During the Battle of Little Black Bean, God gave her rewards, including the title of duke, custom-made duke armor, ten floating mountains, a piece of holy land on earth, a supreme heaven card, and 50 meritorious deeds in heaven.

50 meritorious service is nothing, barely enough to summon holy healing when Harley is in danger, or cast a few teleportation spells (PS) when running away.

Those ten floating mountains are completely in Harry's territory, and she can name them freely.

It can also be called 'garbage mountain'.

But if she wanted to be awe-inspiring in the world, she not only had to have a more prestigious name, but she had better touch the City of Silver.

For example, Pheasant University adds "regional name + university of science and technology" in front of the name.

For example, "XX Yamaha" which has nothing to do with a real Yamaha.

For example, there are many "suspect brand-name" products on Pinxixi
Saying the name 'Paradise Mountain', whoever you are, will immediately have the impression of 'another name for heaven'.

To tell the truth, on earth, if ordinary Christians are asked to choose between 'Paradise Hill' and 'Silver City', ninety-nine out of ten people will think that Paradise Hill is the real 'God's abode'.

Halle bought Gotham Cathedral for three reasons: First, she never gave up her career as an 'exorcist nun'.

In the mundane world, she is the boss of Gotham.

In the magic world, she can't be a "jobless casual cultivator", she must have a serious job, a serious identity, and a serious sect.

The little black bean incident does not happen often, only once in tens of billions of years.

On weekdays, the most stable and effective way to earn merits in heaven is still to exorcise demons.

The meritorious service earned by exorcising demons is definitely not enough to make a fortune, but it is enough as a "basic salary".

Moreover, if you encounter a demon during exorcism, you can take out a few demon hearts by the way to replenish yourself with the power of blood.

The second reason is that Harley needs to cultivate a younger brother on the mysterious side.

Even God has a group of little angels.

Why does Harry think that he can conquer the world alone?
Even if she can do some things, wouldn't it be more comfortable to be a big boss, lazy by herself, and order her younger brother to run away?
For example, relying on a group of able-bodied officers, she has more personal time than ordinary white-collar workers even though she holds the two important positions of godfather and mayor.

Three ultimate goals in life: spiritual (personal) freedom, financial freedom, and time freedom.

If you want to have all three, the little brother must be indispensable!

Without the protection of my little brother, even an ordinary thief can harass you. How can you talk about personal freedom and spiritual freedom?
How can we be financially free without a younger brother to help you make money desperately?

How can you avoid labor if you don't have to work hard?

Can cultivate the younger brother on the mysterious side, Harley can't follow the old path of "Godfather of Gotham".

Similar to Carlisle and Van Helsing, they are all mature in three views, smart and rational, have faith and pursuit, and it is impossible to follow Harley aimlessly.

Even the "bully" on the magic side - the wizard group, they have a mature core concept, and their actions have always served the practical concept.

Now that the sign of 'Silver City Quinn God' is hung, it is only natural to recruit a few boys from the heavenly camp.

Where else could it be more suitable as a "residence" for the monks of the church than the cathedral?
Well, to Harley, Gotham Cathedral is similar to the "Mountain Gate" in Xianxia novels.

Don't many practitioners, Taoist monks, practice in temples and Taoist temples?

A church is a temple that believes in God, no different from Laojun Temple and Bodhi Temple.

Finally, Harley needs the 'God Temple' to earn 'Incense' for herself.

Incense, not lamp oil money.

It is the power of faith.

Among the rewards given to her by God, there is a piece of 'sacred land on earth'.

This holy place is not a portable space, but the power to open up a holy water pool.

When Harley first met Rich online, Rich summoned a horned dog demon into her house through quantum magic.

After she beat it to death, Rich and others asked in shock: Did she use high holy water.

Later, Rich came to Gotham to help her crack the monitoring program of owl glasses, and took a look at the small church next door.

He only said that the holy water in her holy water basin was the lowest holy water he had ever seen.

Holy water is indeed graded.

Ordinary holy water is clean spring water with sea salt, which is then used by many believers.

Slightly better holy water, soaked in powerful holy relics, or simply packed in holy relic containers, supplemented by the power of believers' faith.

Even better, if a "holy spirit" like the disciples of Jesus pours his whole life into a natural spring, there is a chance that a holy water spring will be born.

The holy water in the holy water spring already has extraordinary power, and it is considered a low-level magic item.

Don't look at it as low-level, the spring water in the spring is endless!
Holy water springs are also divided into grades. The holy water springs created by the Holy Spirit in the world are definitely not as good as the Archangel, and the Archangel is not as good as "Christ Jesus".

The "sacred place on earth" that Harley got is the opportunity to open up a "spring of Christ" on earth.

Gotham Cathedral, basement 10 meters below the chapel.

"God, this feeling."

Harry was holding the goblet, her cheeks flushed cutely, and her eyes were fascinated.

"Before, I felt that those wine critics were just talking nonsense, what kind of layered, gradual taste bullying, have I never drank wine?

I still don't quite believe their nonsense.

But there is really good wine in the world, which can achieve the effect they said.

No, more bullshit than wine critic bullshit.

Carlisle, do you believe it?
At this time, I felt like I had a rainbow of seven colors in my mouth.

There are seven colors with clear boundaries. When swallowing, there is a milk-like taste, soft but bright, and the taste is like a harmonious symphony, echoing in my throat."

Hearing Harry's comment and smelling the strange sweet scent lingering in his nose, the old priest swallowed hard, with a clear expression of struggle on his face.

In the end, he shook his head and gritted his teeth: "Using magic to turn holy water into wine is blasphemy.

Harry, you shouldn't be doing this, and you shouldn't be tempting me. "

Harry bent down, took another cup of spring water from the pool, and chanted a spell in his mouth, the transparent liquid was dyed red visibly to the naked eye.

Scarlet like blood.

The elegant but lingering aroma of wine permeated the basement.

Taking a sip, she was intoxicated again, "Haven't you read the Bible?
At the beginning of Jesus' missionary mission, he manifested himself in front of people at village wedding banquets, pretended to be a showoff, and turned fresh water into wine, which attracted a crowd of rural fools to worship. "

"There are some things Jesus can do, but if we wait for believers to do them, it's an arrogance. Moreover, Jesus is for preaching, and you are for enjoyment." Carlisle said seriously.

"Jesus took advantage of the believers' desire for pleasure to preach, so he was inferior. At least I didn't deceive others." Harry said.

"I can't say no to you, but you can't change my mind." The priest said stubbornly.

"The spring water grows so slowly!"

Harry squatted down, looking at the tub-sized pool, frowning.

Carlisle said disapprovingly: "Even ordinary holy water has to go through many processes and is slowly transformed when it is baptized by believers.

This kind of heavenly holy spring pool requires a lot of high-quality belief power. Without the belief provided by believers, it will not grow at all. "

"Do you think the followers of Gotham can make it provide me with enough wine?" Harry asked expectantly.

The old priest's face darkened, "Harry, this high-level holy water is used to exorcise demons at critical moments.

Not just for Gotham.

For members of other dioceses, if they need it, we have to provide it for free. This is the 'old rule'. "

Halle said: "Let the church open for business earlier, I will wave the flag for the new 'Paradise Hill Church' in the media, try to attract more devout believers, and hope to save some holy water every year."

The old priest hesitated for a moment, and said, "My helmet, star staff, and book of light are all magical artifacts of the holy light. Can they be placed in the pool to nurture spirituality?"

　(ps: Some readers may remember that Harley asked the Voice of Heaven at the headquarters of the wizard group, and the Voice of Heaven said that as long as Harley called in time, 50 meritorious service would send her away.

Here, Harley only has 50 merits left - the previous hundreds of millions of merits were all used to bribe the Voice of Heaven, buy officials and nobles through the back door, and become a third-class soldier in Heaven who "obeyed the tune but didn't listen to the announcement".

Well, a third-class soldier is not the full value of hundreds of millions of meritorious deeds. The key is that with this status, Harley will be able to get promotions and salary increases in the future, assign a house (Floating Mountain), and get labor insurance (customized duke-level heavenly armor).

Just like you are not a soldier, no matter how much credit you have made for the country, the most money you can get and the certificate of honor, it is completely impossible to be promoted to lieutenant general or general.

Why at this time, with 50 meritorious deeds, can you open several teleportations?

This is not a contradiction.

The same space transmission, different regions, the cost must be different.

In Lingbo Prison, it is the easiest, only tens of thousands of merits are enough, "showing miracles" in the human world is slightly more difficult, and one hundred thousand merits is more than enough.

The last time I was at the headquarters of the wizard group, in the Sahara Mountains, it was time fragments, stuck in the fault of the super-time flow, and it was of course more difficult to transmit to the real earth, so it was only 50 at a time.

If Harley is trapped in a magic circle by the enemy, such as Zhakang's prisoner circle, 500 million merits will not be enough. )
