It was not early, and the Temple of the God of War was closed to rest, so Sandora and I were about to leave the temple (which can also be called a church) under the leadership of Old Man Lei, and said goodbye to Eva before leaving: the latter would not leave, she lived in the church, not because the lady-in-waiting of the god of war must strictly abide by the rules and regulations, and could not leave the temple because of her holy status, but because the rent in the capital was too expensive, and Eva happened to grow up in the temple area since she was a child, so she simply lived in the church......

As for the Archpriest of the God of War, who is second only to the Pope, he is in the dormitory: both of these grandfathers and grandsons are outsiders. Come on,.!

These are the reasons why two of the most honorable religious and spiritual leaders of the Blue Star choose to live in the church district all year round.

I always feel that the above situation really should not appear in such a holy paragraph, let alone in any of the above words such as "gods, saints, priests, churches", etc., why should it be a very serious background, but to me it sounds the same as in the staff dormitory building of a small garment factory thirty miles away from the city?

I was also a little curious why religious leaders like Lei and Eva, who could almost be said to be above 10,000 people under one person, would choose to live in a dormitory in the parish district because of such nonsense as "the rent in the capital is too expensive". ”

Seeing that Sandora and I both looked quite surprised, the old man, who was always a little serious, repeated very seriously: "Even if there is no money, most of God's servants will choose to live in the church district." It is because the parish provides free housing and daily necessities for the missionaries, which is the only benefit we can seek for ourselves in the name of God. In addition, any supplies that are beyond the necessities of survival have to be solved by themselves. Isn't that incredible? ”

"Well, that's the case in a way," I smiled and shrugged my shoulders, "and when I saw your Temple of War, my first impression was that the church should be the richest group in this world. I didn't expect it to be like this. ”

"Of course the church has wealth," Ray spread his hands, as if holding up the entire world. "Because we govern this planet for God. As stewards of the gods, we hold the keys to the treasury of our masters, and the church as a whole. It is based on all the wealth that the gods have bestowed on mankind, so that the temple and the statues of the gods should be splendid, which is a sign of gratitude that mortals must give back to God: to thank Him for giving us this world. But the missionaries must isolate themselves from these riches, and we must be soberly aware that we are only stewards and have no right to enjoy them, and that we are already incomparably richer in spirit and soul than in material wealth: because we stand closest to God. Moreover, compared to those who have to toil day and night to survive, we only need to pray and preach to be able to have food and clothing, which is already a great blessing. ”

Ray took these words for granted. There was no pretentiousness, no exaggeration, no exaggeration to show how religious I was, but even so, I was even more deeply shocked by the great spiritual power that faith can bring: it can completely sublimate a person—if this faith is sincere enough, it can even allow a mortal to transcend the constraints of the material world. Maybe on the blue star. There are actually not many people who have such a devout belief in Thunder among those ordinary believers, and perhaps most mortal believers will not be able to escape the temptation of the secular world after all, but this living example of Ray has made me know how those "promoters" who can be elected to enter the Star Divine Realm and live with the real gods come from.

Perhaps after the old man in front of me is summoned by the Lord, he will be like those divine servants who have been promoted from mortal believers in the Star Domain God Realm. Become a servant of Ilson's side and join his faithful followers......

…… It's a pity that I can't think about it anymore when I think of 123 that goods, and the sigh that I used more than a hundred words to accumulate in front of me collapsed in an instant, Old Man Lei, are you really willing to be summoned by the master of that pit father?

You're better summoned by Jingle Bell than summoned by 123! At least there are more cute girls under the goddess of life! 123, that cargo subordinate servants are said to have waist circumferences of three feet and three starting macho men! Uncle, you can stand this body...... I'm sorry, it seems that Ilson does have his own aura of remote pit father, although he is 108,000 miles away, just his name pops up in my mind, and my mind is instantly pitted......

I can't help but think of the five members of the Protoss who eat and drink at home all day long and help me spend money, I didn't think anything about it before, but now an image of an almost glorious old man suddenly appeared in front of me, and I instantly realized how lazy and lazy the gods at home are, idle, troublesome, absurd and intolerable, looking at a mortal believer who is richer than that group of gods The model spirit of the new era, as a charter man, I am heartbroken, You said that 123 Why is that not as good as the old man under his own high consciousness, compared with those five, the only distance between the old man in front of him and the Buddha is that the back of his head can't shine......

"Jun, I really think you're sighing too much," Sandora stabbed me in the arm suddenly, "and to be honest, when did the five of them make a fuss more than they did?" ”

Me: "......"

By the way, I still have the name of a holy father, but I don't seem to do what a holy father should do: except with children.

This is already the most sacred place in the whole of the Blue Star in the interior of the parish district, and as I walk through the quiet streets of Sandora, I feel that the "curious little eyes" in the distance are much less, and even if there are, they can only be seen from afar. Perhaps the authorities of the Blue Star and the scientists (including Old Man Joe, who was never seen again as soon as he left the church) were still discussing the matter of visitors from outside the world, but for me and Sandora now, it was all a trivial matter that we didn't need to care about at all, and after knowing that the world was actually the territory of 123, the value of attention to the actions of the local natives for me and Sandora dropped by several percentage points in an instant. Because they know that they won't make much splash even if they toss again.

It's just that when you go back, you have to think about what kind of far-reaching impact the sudden incurrence of the Fifth Fleet will have on this world: maybe it will change the course of their entire civilization. But then again...... Hawkers, anyway, there is a headache for the 123 bitter master, why do I think so much, right?

"I don't care where I sleep today, I just want to know when I can eat......

In my preoccupation, Sandora suddenly pinched my arm again. Whispered aggrievedly, "Ah Jun, I said I was hungry half a century ago......"

I Khan: How far has this come from the church. Sandora is like this, and she really deserves to be eaten. So I hurriedly raised my hand to greet Mr. Lei: "What, don't waste time." Looks like my girlfriend is really hungry - are you ready for dinner? ”

Old Man Lei was stunned for a moment, probably still not used to such a distinctive way of speaking from visitors from outside the world, and then he saw that Shandora was grinding her teeth, and nodded hurriedly: "Oh, oh, of course, there is a special arrangement, but please understand, you are a little ...... after all In particular, our expert team seems to have a headache as to what food to serve you with. Joe believes that alien creatures should have a completely different way of digesting than the Azure Star humans. Perhaps the food on our planet may not be to your liking, but I haven't had the opportunity to ask this detail before...... In short, the expert group is now collecting food samples that can be found in the world, perhaps ......"

"There's no need to be so troublesome," I patted Sandora's little waist proudly, "My girlfriend eats everything." I brought Master Kong with me - by the way, you are true, the expert group is not thorough, since you can't figure it out, then just ask me directly? ”

Old Man Lei glanced at me: "Please understand, until five o'clock in the afternoon, no one in the expert group thought that the first problem to be solved after contact with aliens was what to cook, and this topic was still thought of by a cook in the academy......" Speaking of which. Lei spread his hands awkwardly: "There is a specialization in the art industry, and normal scientists are busy studying how your spaceship can jump outside the star system in an instant." ”

As soon as I heard it, it was indeed this reason, there are a lot of aliens in Hollywood blockbusters, but have you seen how many governments in many countries can think of stir-frying a few dishes tonight when they first contact aliens?

I glanced at Sandora, who looked expectant, and said to myself, I'm afraid that the experts and scholars of Blue Star have to think about more than just frying "a few" dishes......

After hearing the request of Sandora and me, of course, Mr. Lei did not delay at all, and immediately took out a small oval object and pressed it to his ear - this thing could be a phone - and began to instruct the relevant personnel to prepare a meal for the alien guests, and I reminded him vigorously next to me: "Prepare more, prepare more, you just let them come according to the standard of the state banquet......

Listening to Sandora's life in the back, it was embarrassing to wring my arm, but it was also true, I guess my current performance would basically be a discredit to the people of the empire if it was raised to a political point of view - but what can be done, it's okay to put your face out of the way, anyway, I can't let Sandora go hungry.

So Mr. Lei delicately instructed the staff to take out all the things that had been prepared, and then led us to the large canteen set up inside the church district.

Well, to be more elegant, it's called the "Chapel of the Eucharist".

"This is the place where communion is held on the day of rest blessed by the god of war." After leading us to the domed building, Mr. Ray proudly pointed to the rotunda, where a sumptuous meal had been prepared—though I didn't know any of the things on the table except for the plates—and a few familiar faces were in attendance. And many of the lower priests in monk's robes were still serving all kinds of colorful food in strange tableware, and Old Man Qiao, who had disappeared as soon as he left the church, stood at the table and waved to me and Sandora warmly: "Oh, I've been waiting for you for a long time, you must try what I made with my own hands, I have been studying for many years to confirm the perfect cosmic universal taste scrambled egg ......"

"If it weren't for his meritorious work in the study of anti-gravity equalizers, he would certainly have been the first high-ranking cleric to be expelled from the General Directorate of Space Exploration." Ray whispered in my ear.

I finally learned how the strange old man who could treat alien dandruff as a subject and devote himself to research for more than half a year stayed in the scientific research team.

At this time, Sandora had already expressed an attitude of not caring at all about Old Man Lei's words, and the scale of the world in her eyes was rapidly shrinking. In the end, it was limited to the size of the dining table, and then the world realm expanded rapidly, gradually enveloping the entire large cafeteria...... Chapel of the Eucharist. It's a process of switching views of the world, and in half a minute, Sandora has successfully applied her views on the worldly world to everything in front of her: what can be eaten.

I suddenly felt that I should go up and hang a few inedible signs on the stern-looking receptionist to prevent a hungry and dizzy Sandora from causing a human disaster......

But even with her unprecedentedly strong appetite, Sandora maintained a proper demeanor and sat on the top with a noble demeanor. Only then did she use her eyes to signal that the others could sit down: she was usually not like this, and she was usually very approachable when eating with strangers, but the "rigid spirit" of these experts and scholars in front of her obviously made Her Majesty a little dissatisfied. So she chose an attitude that was commensurate with the other party. After taking their seats, the people in the scene, whether they were wearing sacred robes or not, folded their hands in front of their chests, and began to bow their heads and close their eyes in prayer. Ray and Joe sat close together, and their prayers came to my ears: "...... Thank you, my Lord, for giving me peace and enjoying God's abundant food......"

I silently glanced at the two old men, and said in my heart that your lord should be sitting at someone else's table at this time, eating someone else's food, watching someone else's TV, teasing someone else's baby, and playing with someone else's pet...... Oh, and pets may not be exactly someone else's, but the first three are all right. But now you are praying and thanking your Lord for the food: according to this logic123 it is time to thank the charter for how much he has given......

"Alright, prayer is over. Now let us enjoy communion with the visitors from outside the world...... Right? ”

Old Man Lei was the first to open his eyes after completing the prayer, first said the first half of the sentence habitually, and then looked at the empty table in a daze: from a sociological point of view, he probably did not understand what the event of "the sacrament disappeared in the sound of prayer". Sandora, on the other hand, smacked her lips and commented, "The prayer is too slow." ”

I looked at my girlfriend in horror: this girl eats at home definitely not so fast! So now is her true strength. Usually under the queen of the family, she has been controlling herself?

"Holy ...... The sacrament is gone! A middle-aged woman who looked like a high-ranking priest blinked, and suddenly folded her hands and raised her head to the sky and shouted, "God! The Lord must have come down to share in the sacrament with us! ”

No, your lord doesn't have such a large amount of food, and don't you think it's a shame to tell the believers that the first thing God did when he came was to steal all the food? Although doing it with a 123 knot, this thing is more in line with the setting.

In the end, it was Ray who noticed the movement in Sandora's mouth. Looking at this side with a look of surprise on my face, I smiled and patted Sandora's hair: "She's eating a lot of food - please prepare another table." Well, if possible, it's better to prepare another table by the way. ”

That day, Sandora ate happily, and by her standards, it seemed that the food on the Blue Star was quite to her liking. Because the meal was well prepared (the staff collected almost all kinds of edible or suspected edible or rumored edible things on the entire planet to make this meal), the tables and utensils in the Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament were spared, but since I was not very used to the local food, it was Master Kong who decisively ate this meal: I knew that I should have asked Anvena to make a bunch of boxed lunches to carry with me before leaving. The rest of the attendees, including Ray and Joe, were impressed by the communion: it was the only time they could remember eating food that would have killed a three-headed elephant and they had left hungry.

Everyone was dumbfounded because Sandora was so spectacular to eat, and by the time they reacted, the kitchen was eager to even use a broom to make soup.

Sandora expressed her appropriate level of apologies, and was sorry that ordinary people couldn't digest forks and glasses, otherwise the rest of the room wouldn't have to go hungry.

I have to say that although that group of alien lovers and a little nervous leader makes people laugh and cry at times, they are at least much better than many guys who take the conspiratorial route without saying a word after seeing aliens (that kind of situation really exists, and it is quite common), which may be the reason why 123 has been using faith guidance to let his believers establish correct three views for many years, so although the blue star is a "preliminary civilized civilization" that has just been able to move freely in its own star system, But many of their views seem to me to be very forward-thinking: they are correctly aware of the potential dangers of rash contact with foreign names, and understand the fact that the universe they will face after leaving the cradle planet may not be friendly, but under such a premise, they still actively take the first step, and quickly calm down after the appearance of the Fifth Fleet, and adopt many means of communication, although naïve, but which do help to avoid the occurrence of a "first conflict" situation. After Sandora and I had finally eaten and drunk enough and settled into the rooms provided by the church, the latter began to analyze the "value" of these indigenous civilizations on the Azur Star, and finally came to the conclusion that while 123 was a pit, the Azur Star was surprisingly not too much.

I sometimes think that Sandora is really a bit of an occupational disease: even when she travels, she occasionally encounters an indigenous civilization, she will definitely concentrate on analyzing people for a long time, tossing to the extreme, and then calculating how many years it will take for the normal development and accelerated development of the local indigenous civilization to become a vassal of the empire, studying how long those natives can support after the abyss invades the local world, and calculating what benefits can be brought to the empire after the target civilization is completely dominated...... These somewhat cold-blooded calculations are what Sandora likes to do the most. Although she didn't have any ill intentions, this habit really made me knock on the head of Her Majesty's majesty every once in a while - you said that it was hard for the two of them to be alone, or a honeymoon (shallow words), and more importantly, that little trick-or-treater was not nearby, so why not do something in this long night, you take a data terminal and calculate people's civilized life expectancy......
