Tianjin people will never lose SAN

Chapter 407: Saints’ Treat
In a chapel of the Holy See, Liu Yonglu was lying on a round table on the dais. The saint was listlessly drawing comic strips on his copy of the Holy Virgin Mary's canon with a pencil.

Under the platform, dozens of benches were filled with followers of the Holy Maiden Sect, each holding a Holy Maiden scripture in their hands.

The uniform chanting echoed in the empty chapel, making Liu Yonglu more and more drowsy.

"The mercy of the Holy Virgin shines upon the earth, Saint Barlaan, in Leviticus, chapter 12, line , the shepherd who witnessed the miracle of the Holy Virgin on the mountaintop decided to take the newborn lamb out of the sheepfold and put it..."

Liu Yonglu quickly picked up the tea from the table and took a sip. There was no other way. He was too sleepy. He had to wake up. Liu Yonglu smacked his lips. This black tea from the Holy Seat was really good. It was much better than the Gaosuan he usually drank in the Quyi Troupe.

"Mr. Saint Baran, how do you understand this paragraph?"

The talkative believer finally finished stating his question, and the rest of the people nodded slightly, apparently thinking that the question was well asked and of high standard!

"This paragraph... seems complicated, but just grasp the key point. This is what the Saint Lady taught me in person.

The saint said: If you drive one sheep, you also drive it; if you let two sheep go, you also let them go.

You should first think about this sentence clearly. After you have figured it out, I will tell you the second sentence.

The saint said: "If you tie them up, they will become numb; if you hang them, they will become numbed."

Liu Yonglu shook his head and pretended it was true. He had had some beautiful thoughts before coming to the Holy See this time.

I came to the Holy See to be a great ancestor, and I also came to do some work for the old Saint, helping the Investigation Department find two books related to the Lost Sea.

You can also explore the clues left by Father Jone in the basement of the monastery to see what is hidden in the secret passage of the Holy See.

I didn’t expect it... I didn’t expect it... Kosander, this old BK, is so eager to squeeze the piss out of a toad that he has arranged Liu Yonglu’s schedule full of things.

Every morning he would answer questions and resolve doubts for the believers in the chapel. After lunch and a break, he would be surrounded by senior clergy in the afternoon to ask them about the methods for handling secular affairs.

Evening? Evening was not free. Liu Yonglu had planned a duel with the Sahagunites a few days ago. Although he was a saint, Saint Barlaam, Bishop Kosander was still worried and took out various books related to mysticism to discuss with Liu Yonglu.

There are thousands of people in the Holy See serving him alone. This is not a small blessing! It’s annoying for Liu Yonglu!
And it wasn't just him. The people from the Holy See also took good care of Millie Tang and Xiao Hu. When the saints preached to these believers, they specially arranged for nuns and priests to accompany them to visit the beautiful mountains and rivers around the Holy See.

Kosander is also smart. There is no need to explain Millie Tang's identity. Although he cannot see the details of Xiaohu and Ling'er, he also knows that these two children are most likely related to the gods. Why did Saint Baran bring these three with him?
It must be the arrangement of the Saint! No matter what their origins are, even if these two children are really evil gods, they are following Saint Barlan... Holy Evil Gods... They must have been convinced by the Saint's teachings and voluntarily followed the saint!

"Mr. Rich! We can't have the Holy See's people accompany us like this every day. We won't have any chance to explore the secret passage."

After dinner, Millie Tang knocked on Liu Yonglu's door. Liu Yonglu tilted his head and looked towards the corridor. Wow! Four believers were standing at the door. Two of them came with Millie Tang, and two of them were stationed in front of his door waiting for orders.

"You guys! Can you please go back to your room and sleep instead of hanging around my window? Go away!"

Liu Yonglu used his hand to shoo them away, but these believers did not refute him. Instead, they all performed a religious salute respectfully, retreated five or six meters, and still stood there.

"Stay away! Don't let me see you!"

I retreated another ten meters or so, and this time I could no longer see it at all.

"Mi Li'er, is it okay now? Let's put on my cloak and go out to find the secret passage?"

"I advise you not to use that cloak. There are many forbidden spells in the Holy Throne. In the semi-spiritual state, you can only walk about 100 meters at most, and..."

Mili Tang couldn't help but pinch Liu Yonglu, then leaned out and said in a normal voice:

"Saint Baran is hungry and wants a midnight snack."

Just as he finished speaking, four people jumped out from beside the water tank and behind the flower bed, among them was the little genius Haversson!
"Saint Lady of Mercy shines upon the earth, Saint Baran, what would you like to eat? Would you like to eat in the kitchen or should I bring you some fruit or snacks?"

"see that."

Millie Tang pointed at her little genius brother who was totally confused.

"I'm full, I'll make you all angry enough!"

Liu Yonglu closed the door in annoyance, and Haversian stood there, not realizing what had happened.

"Let's go, His Excellency Saint Baran needs to rest. When you two change shifts later, remember to bring me some food. Saint Baran is not hungry, but I am."

Inside the room, Liu Yonglu kicked his shoes off with two flying kicks to the left and right, then lay on the bed with his arms and legs spread out.

"Mi Li'er, when do you think this will end? Will the Saint's people serve us until Candlemas?"

"Humph, you should tell them the truth. The Saint and the Virgin are not on the same page. The world is about to restart."

Millie Tang picked up a piece of chocolate from the coffee table and put it in her mouth. She had no choice but to accept the Holy See's words. She was served with delicious food and drinks every day, and she would never hit a smiling person. She couldn't turn against the Holy See for no reason and let the worms eat her meal.

"Hey... I have early classes tomorrow morning, and I'm almost done eating.

Whatever they ask tomorrow, I can only shake my head and tell them: It’s not right, but it’s not far off.” “Why don’t you look through the Holy Maiden Canon and see if there’s any evidence that can make us feel more at ease.”

Millie Tang casually took out a book and started reading. With Liu Yonglu's relationship, the library of the Holy See was basically completely open to her.

But there are too many books in the Holy See, and many ancient books are private collections of certain clergymen, so even someone as smart as Millitang couldn't find any useful information for the time being.

"No, no, you don't know what kind of people are in the morning class every day. They are more Harverson than Haversian and more Roselle than Roselle. You say one sentence and they have ten sentences waiting for you."

There are thousands of believers in the Holy See, and those who can participate in the "Saint Barlaine Study Seminar" must be top students with outstanding doctrines. These people have been studying the saint's classics since childhood, and their brains have been damaged.

"The Holy See is someone else's territory, and my daily schedule has to be very tight. It's difficult... it's difficult..."

"You usually have a lot of clever ideas, don't you? Think of a way."

Millie Tang said perfunctorily while crossing her legs.

"I need to think of a way... I have to at least take the initiative... I can't always let Kosander assign tasks to me. I have to organize some entertaining and educational cultural activities myself."

Millie Tang's words really reminded Liu Yonglu. He sat up from the bed, picked up the cigarette box from the bedside table and lit a cigarette.

If there is any good news in the past two days, it is that the sales of Universe brand cigarettes are getting better and better. Sometimes when Liu Yonglu is strolling in the courtyard after lunch, he will meet some believers who have returned from outside the Holy See and are talking about cigarettes.

I heard that some of the more popular cigarette cards are already circulating in the market, and the prices are quite high, which is a good thing.

"Okay, Mi Li'er, I have an idea. You wait for me at the kitchen door tomorrow night. I will find a way to escape and we can explore the secret passage at night.

Oh, right, secret passage...secret passage...do you think we can find it?"

"What do you think I've been studying lately?"

Militang turned the book in her hand over and showed it to Liu Yonglu. It was a book about the history of the Vatican's architecture, with precious original drawings on it:

"I'll try to find them then. I've narrowed them down to four now."

"Okay, then we'll have a date tomorrow, see you there!"

The next day at noon, Liu Yonglu attended the seminar arranged for him by the Holy See as usual. He counted the days on his fingers and spent the whole morning. During lunch, he sat on a bench in the cafeteria, next to Archbishop Kosander.

This was also what Liu Yonglu requested, to try not to make any special arrangements, to have fun together with the people, and to eat what ordinary believers eat.

“Oh… Tsk…”

Liu Yonglu was picking up the vegetable leaves listlessly with a wooden spoon, sighing deeply.

Kosander couldn't hear this. Is Saint Barlan in a bad mood? Or does he have a problem with our Holy See? He quickly wiped his mouth and asked:

"Mr. Saint Baran, what's the matter? Is our priest's lunch not to your liking?"

"It's quite nutritious, but... it tastes too light. This vegetable leaf cheese doesn't go well with rice..."

"Then we will still have dinner in the banquet hall. You can ask the kitchen to prepare whatever you want. The chefs in our Holy See are first-rate even if they are in the secular kingdom."

Kosander smiled and said, it’s just that the food is not to your taste, that’s easy to deal with.

"Alas! The rich have rotten meat, the poor have no food for the next day, the kitchen has fat meat, the stable has fat horses, the people are dying of hunger, and there are starving people in the wild. This is leading the beasts to eat people.

The saint said: "If you can't feed a full man, you don't know the hunger of a hungry man."

Kosander didn't answer, but took out a notebook and wrote down what Liu Yonglu had just said. The saint's education was right! These are all wise sayings. How can the Holy See be extravagant? Is Saint Barlan's education good? The education is too right.

"Then I'll ask the priest in charge of meals to prepare more rich dishes tomorrow?"

"Oh, no, no, I just arrived and changed the menu. Will other people have objections? I am an outsider, and you are the locals. If my taste affects the tastes of most people, I will feel... I can't bear it."

Kosander nodded secretly. Although Saint Balaam sometimes spoke incoherently and acted crazy, his character was impeccable and he was worthy of being the patron saint.

"How about this, I'll light the fire and cook two dishes for you tonight, is that okay with you?"

Kosander found it unbelievable. He had thought of some possibilities before the saint came, but the saint offered to treat him to a meal, which... he never expected.

"Then, Saint, what are you going to cook? I'll ask the kitchen to prepare it for you."

"Let's eat... make dumplings. Nothing tastes better than dumplings! Nothing is more comfortable than lying down!"
