"Okay, let's go, what's your name?"
Seeing the completion of the plan, Du Wei immediately put away his crying face and asked excitedly.
Jin Long turned his head, realizing that he had been duped, and his expression seemed very unhappy.
"I won't tell you."
"Then I'll call you Xiao Jin, because your hair is yellow."
"Huh!? I don't want that stupid name."
...
In this way, whenever Du Wei came to the college, he would bring refreshments and change tricks to nest in the library with Xiao Jin.
026 Strange Church Celebration
"Du Wei, grandpa will take you out to play the day after tomorrow."
"Hey? Grandpa doesn't need to go to the army?"
In previous years, grandpa would take Du Wei around to sunbathe his grandson, but this year he is very busy, and he can only see people during breakfast time.
Du Wei was already lying on the bed and sleeping when Grandpa came back to the other building after get off work.
"Hahaha, that shit is finally done in time for Thanksgiving."
"Thanksgiving? Thanks to whom?"
Du Wei wondered, is there a Thanksgiving in this world?
"Thanksgiving is a day to thank the gods of light. On that day, the churches of light around the world will hold celebrations. After this year, you will be eight years old. I want to take you to see it, and let the archbishop bless you by the way. Do you want to go?"
"Go!"
The Church of Light is the state religion of the Knox Empire. It is said that the empire was very difficult when it was first established, but finally gained a firm foothold with the support of the Church of Light.
And the Church of Light is also the religion with the most believers in the world. Its purpose of belief is somewhat similar to the Christianity of the previous life, but it is different from the monotheistic Cross. There are three main gods in the Church of Light, namely the God of the Sun, the God of Light, and the god.
god of life...
"Grandpa, will the God of Life accept offerings?"
"Offer? Do you want to make a wish?"
"Ok!"
Du Wei nodded vigorously.
"The Guangming God Department does not accept offerings. If you want to make a wish, you can donate some money that day. What wish do you want to make?"
"It can't be said, if it is said, it will not be realized."
"Uh... is there such a thing?"
"Is grandma going too?"
"No, she is a user of the magic net. Most of the gods worshiped by mages are goddesses of magic."
"understood."
......
On Thanksgiving Day, they left the annex in a carriage early in the morning.
"There was a traffic jam!"
Uptown, which was usually deserted, became crowded.
"Hahaha, after all, most of the nobles on this day will find time to go to church to attend worship."
It seems that no matter what class is very respectful of faith ah.
"Is the church uptown?"
"There are two churches in the Imperial City, one in the upper city and the other in the middle city. We are going to the church in the upper city, which is only open to nobles."
Sure enough, even today there are class differences.
"Then will we meet the family members of the other two dukes?"
After all, it is a festival when all the nobles are mobilized. Du Wei thinks he should be able to meet people from the other two families, right?
However, Grandpa shook his head.
"Every duke family will spend Thanksgiving in the main city of their territory, and your father is the same."
If grandpa didn't say it, he would have almost forgotten that there is still a main city in the dukedom.
Chatted with grandpa to pass the time, and finally arrived at the destination.
"It's amazing!"
As soon as he got off the carriage, Du Wei was shocked by the magnificent church building. The architectural style is somewhat similar to the cross church in the previous life. It should not be a problem to squeeze thousands of people into the area.
The most striking thing about the whole building is the dome made of stained glass, which is full of deeds about the three gods of light.
"There is still some time before the Holy Prayer, let's go shopping first."
"Then I'm going to see those murals!"
"Hahaha, there are a lot of people here, let me carry you away."
There are indeed a lot of people, but it doesn't look chaotic. Maybe most of the people here are educated by nobles?After all, nobles have always paid attention to face.
As soon as they came to the mural, a man dressed as a priest came up next to him to introduce the story and origin of the mural.
Du Wei looked around, and it seemed that they were the only ones who received this special courtesy, and there was a kind of clearance around them. It seemed that Grandpa didn't need to hug him. After all, no one dared to disturb the Marshal of the Empire.
Although the pastor explained it very carefully, Du Wei was attracted by something that had nothing to do with the murals, that is, the faces of the nobles.
"grandfather."
"Ok?"
"Why are all the nobles so handsome and beautiful?"
In fact, Du Wei has had this question for a long time. Whether it is his Farvin family, or Emily's Manel family, Karina's Loka family, or even his personal maid Sana, anyone who has something to do with it People of noble blood seem to be all handsome men and beautiful women.
Now Du Wei didn't see any nobles who could be called middle-of-the-road at a glance. All of them had good faces. He didn't know what kind of gathering of elves he thought.
Could it be that the nobles in this world are born with such high quality?
"What's so strange about this? No matter how ugly you are, marrying a half-elf wife can still give birth to a beautiful child."
Uh... It sounds a bit like the concept of breeding and improvement in previous lives.
"A boy can marry a beautiful wife, but what about a girl?"
Grandpa looked around, then he pointed to a beautiful noble woman in the crowd.
"Did you see the necklace around her neck?"
"I saw it."
It was a necklace with a drop-shaped pendant, and Du Wei remembered that Sana seemed to have this kind of pendant as well.
"It's a blessing accessory sold in the Eros Church. As long as you wear it from an early age, most of your appearance will be in line with Eros' preferences when you grow up."
This... what is this, cosmetic surgery?
"What if I have grown up and formed? After all, there are people who are suddenly promoted from the commoner class to nobles."
"It's not difficult, just smash the face first and then ask the priest of the God of Love and Beauty to heal it. They can adjust the shape of the face during the treatment. Many rich women do this."
crooked day!What Eros is this!Isn't this the god of plastic surgery at all!And those pastors are plastic surgeons!
This fantasy world is too weird.
......etc!Although he is pretty cute, but the eyebrows and eyes always feel a little frivolous.
Let's buy some accessories later, everyone has a love of beauty, it's not shameful.
...
Grandpa looked at the big bell hanging from the church.
"It's almost time, let's go and take a seat first."
Under the leadership of the priest, they sat in the first row in front of the altar, and other nobles also began to move to their seats scatteredly.
"We're the only ones sitting in the front row?"
I always feel that there are many eyes staring at them from behind.
"The guys who are eligible to sit in the first row are all in their own territory, so it should be just the two of us in the first row."
Uwah, but the sight from behind made him uncomfortable.
Just when Du Wei was restless, a group of children aged 14 to [-], dressed in teaching clothes, filed in through the entrances and exits on both sides of the altar.
"Grandpa, what are they doing?"
"Ready to sing."
It turned out to be a choir.
These children stood in the center of the altar and were neatly divided into male and female sides. After the children in the choir took their seats, the band also began to enter the arena.
Just when everything seemed to be ready, an old priest wearing a gold-rimmed sacrificial robe and holding a sun scepter walked to the altar.
He raised his hands high, while his mouth continued to mutter, and a halo of light gradually appeared above the altar.
"Grandpa, who is this?"
"He is the supreme bishop of the Illuminati Church in the Knox area."
"That light wheel is a divine technique?"
Grandpa nodded, and many devout nobles around him began to bow their heads in prayer.
The dome of the church began to emit golden phosphorescence, and the surrounding temperature gradually rose, as if the body was immersed in the warm sunshine in the afternoon, which felt very comfortable.
Solemn music began to play, and the children in the choir began to sing hymns to the rhythm.
It's a pity that Du Wei couldn't understand the content of the poem. The language the children chanted was the scriptures of the Illuminati Church, which is not yet on Du Wei's study list.
The epic hymn was not long, and the choir and band withdrew within 10 minutes after taking the stage, while the old priest walked to the altar table and began to speak to Du Wei, but he still couldn’t hear a word Understand.
"Grandpa, what is the bishop talking about?"
Grandpa shrugged his shoulders.
"Who knows? I haven't learned the religious language of the Illuminati Church, so I don't know what he's talking about."
"..."
Du Wei turned his head and looked at the nobles around him. It seemed that most of the nobles also looked dazed.
I thought it was so pious, but as a result, most people couldn't understand the prayer, it was just a formality.
The subsequent ceremony became very boring. After all, he couldn't understand what the people on the stage were saying, and he couldn't stand up and leave the ceremony, so Du Wei could only doze off and listen to the old priest read all the way to the end.
"Du Wei, wake up, it's over."
At some point, Du Wei leaned against his grandfather's arm and fell asleep.
"Are you going home already?"
Du Wei rubbed his eyes and looked around. Many nobles had already left the church, leaving only acquaintances greeting each other.
"Didn't you say you wanted to make a wish? Or did you say no?"
Hearing Grandpa's words, Du Wei suddenly regained his spirits and almost forgot about it.
"want!"
"Let's go then, I've already made an appointment with the bishop."
Following my grandfather to a prayer room in the church, there was already a bishop sitting in it, and this bishop was just a lot of old priests who had just been talking about it on the altar!
"It's the greatest bishop!"
"It's the Supreme Bishop."
The High Bishop cheerfully corrected his mistake.
