Angel on earth

Under the silent moonlight, in the promenade of the Lieyang Cathedral, a ghostly skinny black figure was holding a candlestick, wandering around aimlessly, weeping and mourning like autumn wind from time to time.

Since Norn conquered the Red Moon Empire, every two full moon nights, the moon in Lieyang City will turn blood red.Tonight is exactly this day, and the bumps on the surface of the full moon are like bubbles bursting from boiling blood.

Unlike most of the sculptural portraits that have been handed down to the world, Matthew does not have thick bones and round outlines like the traditional Red Moon people.His eyebrows are straight and clean, the bridge of his nose is high, his jaw line and cheekbones also have sharp lines, his black mid-length hair is tied behind his head, and only one or two strands of slightly curly hair hang down from the side of his face.

From certain angles, he was handsome as a ruthless ranger, but those big and round eyes with a strong flood plain quality added a bit of childishness to the cold and stern face, which looked rather weird.

The black saint is dressed in old clothes, with bare feet, thorns around his waist, and bright yellow irises edged with crimson.

He hadn't had a drop of water in for a long time, his lips were cracked, his voice was hoarse, and the black robe covered his body was leaking everywhere.But he walked on, staggering, the candle in his hand drawing frantic shadows on the studs.

When passing through the corridor of thousands of mirrors, Matthew saw himself in the mirrors in all directions.His vision was blurred by sobbing for a long time, and the countless black figures surrounded him silently, as if he was a prophet who led his relatives on a long journey through the wilderness to Canaan in the old days.He was in a trance for a moment, his pupils dilated slightly, and he saw those thin figures with yellow eyes that shimmered like ghosts.

After standing in a daze for a long time, Matthew confusedly remembered that this was the corridor of Wanjing.He ran forward as if fleeing, but slipped and fell, and the bridge of his nose hit the ground heavily.

The man's hoarse and desperate cries echoed and circled in the silent night, and nothing could be said except the meaningless scream of "Ah——".He reached out and scratched his clothes and hair, and scratched bloodstains on his eyes and cheeks; the candlestick fell to the side, and the candle burned against the water-like mirror, illuminating the dark-skinned man's hideous face.

The Red Moon Empire is a community of all evils such as poverty, filth, ignorance, and blood. The flood plain is an abyss where the most humble people were exiled in ancient times. Even cassava and plantains cannot survive.They were born as murderers and slaves, and there was a customary rule of exchange between human blood and beast blood.When he was eight years old, he went to hunt down his father's enemy, because the other party killed their lamb; he was the best young man in the tribe, even though he was young, he still beat the boy to death on the rock with his bare hands, and then Lying panting on the rocks warmed by the sun, looking at the blue sky and white clouds, I knew that a big flood would come in another month.

The ships of the Church of the Sun God landed at that time.The blond woman in a white robe with a gentle face stretched out her finger, and a deep crack started from the rock under him, and split the cliff straight down—the barren mountain opened a wide staircase for her.

Then the woman came up, beat him to pieces with a whip without saying a word, and asked him sharply why he wanted to kill someone.Three days later he was baptized with the Christian name "Matthew", and a month later he learned the Sinai language and knew that their priestess was named Isabella, and what she said repeatedly when she whipped him that day was "You Eight years old".

Matthew believed that the mission of the church was love and peace, and he also dreamed of turning the Red Moon Empire into a land of Canaan that was as orderly as the Mithra dynasty, without wars and famines; this is the "education" provided by the church to the locals for free The most important part of it, the other part is that if you suffer a lot, it must be that you have sinned in heaven and are atoning for it.

He spent his innocent and happy half life for this, was canonized as a saint, and then had to leave his uncompleted hometown for the sake of justice, and went to the distant Siegfried Federation to suppress those white-skinned heretics, The war there was a hundred times more terrible than the war with wooden spears and stones in his hometown.

His brothers and sisters treated him very well and never underestimated him because of his origin. Every few years, different people went to look after the Red Moon Empire.He also knew the dark side of the church, he would kill before he was eight, and wouldn't mind swinging the sword to shed more blood for his God.

Anna pointed to the stone statue of Kostroma's incarnation. Hill smashed the abdomen of the stone statue and took out a cocooned baby. Mikhail Ivanovich Kupala opened his eyes and smiled at them.He was the most distinctive because of his complexion, so Mikhail was the first to smile at him.Mikhail has always been innocent and lovely, took over his wood carvings politely, and sometimes carved wood with him with a knife while listening to him talk about his hometown.When Mikhail was four years old, he went on a long trip and awakened his talent to affect the sky. The first thing he did when he returned to the monastery was to come to him and say happily: Matthew!I can change the weather!I am not very proficient yet, but Isabella said that it is better to practice more.When I grow up, I will go with you to the Noah Plain, so that there will be no more floods that wash away the food and lambs, and there will be no more poisonous snakes and beasts...

Everyone was happy for him, praising Mikhail's kindness. Rawlins, the Abaddon savage, still painted a cross on his chest and lamented that the brothers and sisters of the Red Moon Empire were saved, and God the Father sent saints to save them.

He knew that Mikhail was a child of a heretical god, a vessel destined to be sacrificed to the Father; he did not realize that he was something lower.Anna came back from the Red Moon Empire, drinking and having fun all day long to escape fear, and was almost grounded by Jonathan in the monastery.One night she jumped onto his balcony under the bloody moonlight, and pressed her forehead against his. Amidst the heavy smell of alcohol, he saw his hometown where wars were smoldering and corpses were everywhere. Smoke rolled over the black crowd.

The young daughter was cut off her hands and feet and thrown in front of her father who did not want to be a slave. The young girl was skinny, with a bulging belly, and fell into the dark mine with a hunched back; the fishing boat and the ocean opened their mouths to each other, and people were swollen and wrinkled , living and rotting; laborers work in and out of countless mines, every day there are corpses that are exhausted, fell to death, and suffocated by smoke, and another part of the living corpses push them away; , barley, wheat, corn, bananas, pineapples, tobacco, in great quantities and varieties. Outside the plantations, there are countless residents cutting off wild rubber day and night to exchange wives and daughters. Every laborer is hungry and scarred. Anna raised her yellow numb eyes and looked at him quietly in the backtracking history.

Let Mikhail first look at smiling black, the color of the cheapest slaves.His relatives were slaves of Norren and Iris, and he was a slave of the Church of the Sun God. They slept and ate with pigs and sheep, and after they died, they were thrown into a far-off bottomless pit, waiting for the garbage dump Fill it with anti-epidemic herbs and burn it. The herbal formula was invented by Arnold Edwards during the Second Jihad.

He went to Isabella and had a big fight with her.She has hardly changed from when she ordered the cliff to give birth to the road, and she is still as gentle and patient with him as a mother or sister.He asked why my family suffered from that, me?Isabella said kindly, Matthew, of course you are different, you are our brother, a child of God the Father.Matthew went on to ask why did my family suffer from that?Isabella said that because they do not believe in God, they are ignorant and depraved, unlike you.Matthew said but if you don't teach them and don't baptize them, how can they have the same chance as me?

So Isabella, the most pure, kind, and cruel woman in the world, took out the whip and beat him up like he did when he was eight years old, kicked him down the stairs, clapped his hands and walked away with his head held high.After a few days, Jasmine withdrew the great flood in the Noah Plain, in the name of Mikhail.More like a taunt or a warning than a handout, the church could have saved his hometown from the start, just as Isabella kicked him off a high cliff at the end of that month, and he swam to his mother in despair. Go, the churning water washes away her body.

Matthew lay on the ground, unbelievable that after crying for so long, there was still so much water gurgling from his eyes, nose and throat. Sometimes he felt that it was actually his blood, otherwise how could he be so suffocated, miserable and dizzy dizzy?

For a long time, like a long nightmare, the man numbly got up from the ground, grabbed the candlestick that had not lost a drop of wax oil, bent his back, and continued to wander forward like a hungry ghost.

This is the longest and most magnificent promenade in the monastery and even in the world.Starting from the main entrance, sections of straight corridors with different styles are connected by stone gates that are ready to drop huge stones to seal the enemy at any time, like a gorgeous empty tube passing through the radiant dome and the bottom floor of the bell tower of Divine Will to the church.

After Wanjing Corridor is "Elegy", and the buildings on both sides come to an abrupt end at the end of Wanjing Corridor. "Elegy" and the rest of it are built on an abyss-like mountain stream, with the roar of dark and cold water gushing from all directions.

The floor of "Elegy" is covered with thick embroidered carpets, and there are tall and pointed cross windows on the walls on both sides. Between the stained glass are portraits of saints and various miracles.In the middle of walking, Matthew suddenly turned around holding the candlestick, and was attracted by a painting.

Inside the frame are full-length portraits of two men.The tall, middle-aged man is wearing a robe, smiling with his eyes closed, a lock of white hair scattered from his forehead; on his shoulder coat is a sun cross decorated with jewels, holding a heavy book in his right hand, and a pair of dark red cloth shoes Toes protrude from under the white robe.Beside him was a shorter, white-haired, red-eyed, beautiful boy with a twist in his hair, which made the short hair messy.

The boy holds a soft sword in his right hand, and a copper snake is wrapped around his left arm. The head of the snake is the hilt of the sword he is holding in his right hand.He was wearing hunting boots, and his expression was alert, completely different from the gentleness displayed by the middle-aged man.

Zehekiah "the Code" and his son Aaron the "Bronze Serpent".

Matthew has been to the Gallery of Thousand Mirrors many times. For some reason, he suddenly felt that their expressions became more vivid, so that he turned around in the darkness reflexively like a light on his back.

He and the copper snake looked at each other for a long time, then looked away, and slowly looked towards the end of the corridor.

The last section of the corridor has no name, the ground is paved with seamless white jade, embellished with precious stones, and gold-studded feet; on both sides are continuous tall arches, and the cold wind from the top of the holy mountain howls and shuttles wantonly.

At the end of the unnamed corridor is the Sanctuary.The two gilded cedar doors were ajar, and the gap seemed to be some kind of unscrupulous provocation, for it was just enough for a teenager to enter with dignity.

Holding the candlestick in hand, Matthew approached step by step, and slowly pushed open the half-hidden door.

Matthew sells miserably collection X Micah outfit bit collection√

Although Matthew is considered a villain and is Isabella's licking dog, there is absolutely no racial discrimination here!The Red Moon Empire has its own civilization, including planting, printing and dyeing, smelting, etc. It is a little behind the Canaan mainland, mainly because the Canaanites have church bonuses (the worldview in this article is that there are gods, and gods can bestow knowledge. But the Canaanite sun god killed all the others).Matthew feels that the Red Moon people are inferior because he was PUA since he was a child, and it also has a self-deprecating meaning.In short, this is not racial discrimination ()
