A subjugated princess will never die a vagabond

Moreover, some refugee groups have already gathered, quietly using the banner of the Grace House to force people to believe in religion, using the name of religion to amass money and lust; With the last glimmer of hope in his heart, he waited for the call of the Lord.

In the eyes of the proprietress, even if the Charity House is not the source of the disaster, it is at least one of the pests.

But at this moment, the proprietress who always disliked the Grace House was silent in front of the real Grace House members. She suppressed her anger and did not speak ill after all.

She was thinking, if everyone believed in the religion in the end, would she also have to leave a way out.

Ying 21 could see the tangled look of the proprietress, and he heard the gamblers in the hall whispering:

"I didn't expect this girl who comes to the Mercy Academy every day to really get on her thigh. Tsk, the nuns in the Mercy Academy are really well-educated, and the food must be first-class!"

"Okay? I heard that those churches rely on women's bodies to attract believers! *********************************** *****

"Tsk, if there is such a good thing, then I will go too!"

"Shh, keep your voice down!"

Only then did everyone realize that the gloomy man was staring at them without saying a word.

Those eyes were cold as ice, as if looking at the animals in the pen.

"Sheep," he said coldly, "need a shepherd."

Cloris was taken aback and looked back at him.

Shadow 21 said with a thoughtful attitude: "The ignorant sheep that lose their shepherds will only go to destruction. Only by giving birth to more shepherds can more sinful lambs be saved..."

Cloris tilted her head: "?"

Shadow 21 looked at the girl: "You are right, Shaqima, we have to follow the correct and wise shepherd, otherwise it is a crime, and the lost lamb has the responsibility and obligation to walk on the right path. The shepherds offer offerings..."

Cloris was shocked: "???"

What kind of fairy understanding is this, she has never said such a thing!What's going on with this guy's brain circuit? !

However, Cloris heard the killing intent in Ying 21's words.

"God has pity on the world, since this is the case, the world should repay God with blood..."

Ying 21's murmur seemed to be looking for a more legitimate reason for his imminent killing.

"Mr. Shadow 21," Cloris advised cautiously, feeling terrified, "if the victims have not been baptized and inspired, then their blood is meaningless and worthless, just because the lamb sees the Lord's guidance, Only their blood has direction..."

"Since that's the case..." Ying 21 let go of his killing intent and said, "Let's wait until they receive the sermon in the future before going to die."

Cloris finally realized that standing beside her was a "rational" lunatic.

This makes sense in quotation marks.

Ying 21 seemed to be thinking all the time, but Cloris really couldn't imagine what kind of bad things he thought of.

What kind of a lamb is this kind of person, he is simply a demon with goat horns, saying "for your own good" while cutting a knife in your belly!

In such horror, she listened to Yingying 21 and said: "The master really didn't misunderstand you, Shaqima, you are a devout believer!"

169. The Lamb's Honor

In Shadow 21's eyes, it's hard for Cloris to be impious.

A person who endures the misunderstanding and discrimination of the foolish people, insists on spreading the true meaning in his heart to others despite all kinds of white eyes and humiliation, and is unswerving. Except for the most intelligent and devout believers, in fact, there is no influence of culture. out of other possibilities.

Cloris invited Ying 21 to come to the bedroom as a guest. Compared with the room where Peggy lived, the room was completely bare, with no bedding, a bench with missing legs, a charcoal basin in the corner, and a narrow window open. There is some food and water piled underneath.

It was left over from the relief from the Charity House. The taste and texture were extremely bad. Cloris was not embarrassed enough to eat these. Fortunately, these foods had a long shelf life, so the girl simply piled some in the bedroom.

Now it is used to entertain guests, highlighting a person's poverty and embarrassment, and contrasting a person's perseverance.

This kind of life did not degrade the girl in front of her. She did not betray herself, but relied on hard work and hard work...

Thinking of this, Ying 21 suddenly asked: "What is your source of income?"

"How can there be any work these days?" Cloris sighed. "When I escaped from the brothel, I stole some money from those villains, which barely covered the rent for a while."

"You are a man of integrity."

Shadow 21 was deeply moved.

Even though life was so embarrassing, she did not steal, cheat or rob.Ying 21 knew that with that crossbow, it would not be difficult for the girl to snatch food and what little money was left from other poor and weak refugees.

As for stealing money from a brothel... that's called stealing from the rich and giving to the poor.

It's weird.

Movie 21 Everyone in the world, including myself, is a lamb, but what he thinks of at this moment is all kinds of virtues.

This kind of contradictory mentality seems so natural in Ying 21. A second ago, he wanted to reap the lives of others without thinking, but now he praised the so-called "integrity".

Cloris thought for a long time, and suddenly realized.

She feels that the word "double standard" is perfectly appropriate here.This is probably not entirely a derogatory term, after all, people have more or less similar behaviors.

This is manifested in Ying 21: he subdivides the lamb.

Like him and Cloris, they are enlightened, follow the shepherd on the right path, will ascend to the kingdom of heaven, are virtuous, and are the humble sheep; while the rest of the lambs are The ignorant, vulgar, and sinful lost people are also the Lord's people, but these ignorant people should use blood and bones to atone for their sins, and spread their corpses on the smooth path of the noble shepherd. good home.

Cloris entertained Ying 21 with insect cakes and dirty water that she didn't eat, and the latter was almost moved to tears, but remained expressionless.

"Thank the Lord for giving me cheese and wine," Shadow 21 said in a simple pre-dinner prayer, "God is merciful."

"Holy Father is merciful." Cloris also prayed.

"Are you... reluctant to eat?" Shadow 21 asked Cloris who hadn't moved.

"The bread is too hard, please soak it for a while." Cloris pointed to the clay basin where the water was soaked.

"Yushaliah, how should I repay you?"

Ying 21 believes that the girl gave herself the most precious food, so she had to eat those "stones" that need to be soaked for a long time.

Yusha is the first dedicated lamb and the first saint under the Holy Father. In the teachings of the Grace House, Leah refers to women and motherhood. When used as a suffix of a person, it can also represent a sacred honorific.

Ying 21 is used in this way to express inner exclamation.He can also say "Moshuliya" or "Shaqi Maria" if he wants.

Cloris said solemnly: "We all breathe the glory bestowed by the Lord, and this food is also a gift from the Lord. How can we talk about the so-called return? As long as everyone follows the path guided by the shepherd, everyone will be blessed."

Ying 21 pretended to understand and nodded.

He hasn't read a book for a few days, so he thinks that anyone who speaks makes sense.Cloris was recognized by Mo Xiu, so the girl's words were also regarded as part of the truth by Shadow 21; but if it was someone who Mo Xiu didn't approve of, then even if the words were clear and logical, Shadow 21 would regard them as fallacies and heresies.

Shadow 21 wanted to take out some money to help this pious believer, but he only found a dozen Groschen's coins in his pocket, and he was embarrassed to "insult" the girl with this little "charity".

He suddenly felt ashamed, hating himself for not bringing enough money when he went out.At the same time, he is not qualified to recruit the other party on behalf of the Charity House. Ying 21 made up his mind, and after returning home, he must give his master a good word for Sakima, she deserves such praise!

"I have to leave. When I go back, I will report to the master. Your wisdom should not be buried."

Shadow 21 Come indifferently, go enthusiastically——

Although he was still expressionless, the emotion in his words could not be hidden.

After Ying 21 left, Cloris' innocent and solemn expression suddenly faded away, turning into deep thoughts.

I didn't see Walsh Calle today, the fanatic goblin should have entered the interior of the Grace House mansion, and if he wants to rescue Theo Pavel Calle's brother, even if he is tied back, he must first obtain mercy With the trust of the hospital, Moxiu is undoubtedly a good cut.

The three missionaries of Grace House all went to listen to the scriptures, and the strange method was sinister and cruel. The girl and Jotun had already realized it when they were in Liberty Square. It was too radical and dangerous to be his lamb; Kindness can be deceitful, and it doesn't look like he can support the younger brother when things happen; Moxiu is more like a compromise between the two, in a balanced position.

Cloris chose to show herself in front of Moxiu because the old priest was weak and weak, and could be easily controlled in case of emergencies, but she did not expect that the old man's attendants were so sinister and dangerous.

Before listening to the scriptures tomorrow, Cloris has plenty of time to rest, relax, and make full preparations. She originally wanted to take a bath in the bathhouse of the Phoenixtail Butterfly Auction House.

After she wove the cat mask, she opened the door of Peggy's room. The woman sat at the table reading quietly, with a pen in her hand, and crooked handwriting on the paper, as ugly as an earthworm wriggling.

Feeling the cold wind blowing in, she turned around happily: "You are back!"

But soon, Peggy found herself speechless.

Should we greet each other affectionately?She was worried that her hot face was stuck to a cold butt.Should I pretend to ignore it?She was also worried about missing the fleeting opportunity to get along.

"Prisoner" is in a narrow space, even if there are books to relieve boredom, normal people can't bear it after a long time.

Peggy held back for a long time before making indirect remarks: "There are some words I don't know, can you teach me?"

Cloris walked over silently and took a look.

She chooses books at will, from popular science on adventures to knight novels, from miscellaneous publications to simple magic experiment teaching, all of them are in Agnar script, the official language of the Holy Manro Empire.

Regarding this language, Cloris can only say that she is relatively fluent in daily communication, and she can also read some related children's books. If you really want to read intensively, it is best to translate it into Terribe or French, so the intractable problems facing Peggy— - Girls basically do not.

She glanced at the woman dismissively: "You have no culture at all, what else can you do?"

culture!

For the first time, Peggy experienced what it was like to be looked down upon for being uneducated.

She lowered her head in self-blame, trying to muster up the courage to ask the woman in the cat mask again, only to find herself alone in the room again.

Empty.

170. The proprietress' request

Early the next morning, Cloris set off.

Moxiu's lecture will start around noon, but as a devout believer, you must grab the front row a few hours in advance.

She went downstairs and was about to greet the proprietress when she suddenly found two simplified versions of the "Bible of Mercy" and several volumes of matching short story collections on the bookshelf in the hall.

What is more eye-catching is that beside the "Bible of Grace", there are two "Sun Bible" in gold-plated font.

Cloris looked away from the bookshelf and smiled at the counter: "Good morning, lady boss."

The proprietress was reading the newspaper, and the front page read "The construction of the Tower of Radiance is progressing further, the Church of the Sun will shine a new light on the darkness of the city that never sleeps."The following analysis shows that the bishop of the Church of the Sun in Zuixiang area visited the city that never sleeps in person, and had ten banquets in seven days, and local businessmen donated money enthusiastically.The Glory Tower involves the development prospects of the city that never sleeps. If it is completed, Hurricane Island will be spared [-]% of the disasters. The author commended the Duane family, the Balor family, several merchants, and the citizens who went bankrupt for their beliefs, which donated their three generations of family business to the cause of miracles. This is a great benefit to the construction of the Radiance Tower.

The other is a market tabloid.It mainly talks about which area the refugees occupy, where another tragedy broke out, and which small cults were taken down by the city guards. With his head hanging in the market of Shenfeng Lake, an excerpt of scriptures with annotations is attached at the end of the article.

The proprietress raised her head, looked at Cloris, and responded in a low voice: "Good morning, little Sachima, are you going to listen to the scriptures again?"

"Yes."

"You go to listen to the scriptures every day, what can you gain?"

"Truth, madam, the Grace House tells us what we shall live for!"

"Then do you realize why you live?"

"For the Holy Father!" Cloris took it for granted.

"..." The proprietress was at a loss for words, and it was rare for her to say euphemistically, "You have lofty ideals, it is worth people...to learn..." She is really not used to saying this kind of words, "But most of us, there is no way to be like you. , seeing so far..."

"This is the fate of the lamb," Cloris said, "that's why the guidance of the shepherd is needed!"

"If, I mean if, I also believe in the Grace House, will my property be confiscated by the church...?"

"?" Cloris was a little dazed. Why did the proprietress, who was so tough with the Grace House a few days ago, suddenly change her sex?

This can't be done to the girl, she just wants to pack herself, she doesn't really mean to persuade people to believe in religion.

The ghost knows who will have the last laugh between the Church of the Sun and the Grace House.

"Just if, just if..." the proprietress emphasized.

"The Church of the Sun is the villain who oppresses the citizens!" Cloris was filled with righteous indignation, "In our Grace House, private property is sacred and inviolable!"

we.

The relationship between the girl and the Mercy Courtyard has not yet been written, and the words are already so familiar.

In fact, the taxation work is mainly arranged by the Duke's Palace. The Church of the Sun and the Holy Manro Empire have invested nearly 5000 million Aegis in order to invest in spectacle. It's not a big deal, but it's definitely not a small number for investment in a region.

Paying so much money and still holding the ownership of Hurricane Island's mineral deposits, how can it be worth the tax of the city that never sleeps?

The Church of the Sun lacks enough manpower and missionaries are limited, so it is taking the upper-level route in the city that never sleeps.It's not that they don't pay attention to the lower level, but there are many beliefs in the deep world. Under Luentia's deliberately balanced operation, except for a group of people who directly benefited, many citizens don't have much affection for the Church of the Sun. They miss it the most. It was the time when Hurricane Island and Zuixiang formed a business alliance.

Therefore, the Church of the Sun focused on controlling the Duke's Mansion and building a spectacle. As long as the two are achieved, the chaotic law and order at the grassroots level will be promoted all the way, and the demigods in the Ubud Noor airspace will no longer be able to pose a threat to the city that never sleeps.

According to the plan of the Church of the Sun, this goal should have been achieved a few years ago - 5000 million Aegis is not only enough to build the Radiance Tower, but also able to arm the guards of the Duke's Mansion to the teeth, and at the same time hire a team of well-educated and powerful servants. Troops fight.It's a pity that Luntia was in a strong period more than ten years ago. The Church of the Sun had just arrived and needed such a character to resist Uenos' counterattack, so most of the funds flowed into the pockets of the Duke's Mansion and entrusted its recruitment team to build a spectacle , the church only sent some priests to set up committees for supervision.

But I don't know if the golden Aegis is too heavy or what's the matter, 5000 million!Under the leadership of certain priests of the Church of the Sun, the Duke's mansion was corrupted by the speed of light.Before this, even the most experienced accountant in Everbright City couldn't imagine how an ordinary teacup could reach [-] Aegis.

In this situation where all the citizens' money bags are tight, the proprietress finally asked her long-prepared question: "The recent miracle tax has increased by [-]%, so the rent..."

She is indeed fierce, but she is more aware of current affairs and knows how to read words and demeanor. The man yesterday has already made the proprietress feel very nervous, and the Grace House is a giant she can't afford to mess with.

Then, she also became cautious when speaking to the girl who was already on the thigh of the Charity Court (she thought so).

It's interesting to say that the proprietress has never offended Cloris, and even took good care of her, but when the other party's status suddenly changed, her attitude suddenly became more suspicious and apprehensive.
