chapter.60 Praise the sun(1/2)
I knew this would be the case...
Alice suppressed the urge to sigh and rubbed her eyebrows:
"Mr. Monk, don't you know that it is illegal to spread the belief in the Eternal Burning Sun in Loen?"
Hearing this, the young Brother Lieyang just blinked innocently and innocently.
"I'm not preaching to you, I just want to have a casual chat with you. When did it become illegal to chat with a beautiful lady you met by chance?"
"You call this...an encounter?" Alice couldn't put on a good face towards him when she thought of being chased by a lunatic and running away across several streets.
Of course, of course, there was no way for her to escape, but she was worried about being alerted by this neurotic sun believer in advance, and then falling into an even more embarrassing situation...
Well, after all, this is a psychopath, and it is normal to be unable to predict the reaction of a psychopath.
The young and handsome Brother Lieyang naturally could not guess what the girl in front of him was thinking. He smiled brightly and completely ignored her accusation.
"And you see, this is not a public place. I am in a house that I rented with my own money. It is reasonable to talk about something personal."
"So, how many times have you done something like today, kidnapping a young girl you don't know into your home, and then talking about the eternal blazing sun?"
To use a Kleinian rant, why are you so skilled?
"No, you are the first guest to come to my house under such circumstances."
Brother Lieyang shook his head, and said confidently that he had always met all kinds of gentlemen and ladies through various social activities, and then carefully selected those with potential believers and invited them to dinner.
Travel to enhance relationships and feelings, and finally invite the other person to your home to chat about life, emotions, and the eternal blazing sun.
"I have made at least three noble ladies and young ladies and one gentleman understand how great, how kind and vast the blazing sun that brings light and hope to the world is. There is no father or brother in heaven.
If He were like Him, we wouldn’t be where we are today…”
It sounds quite normal...but weren't those gentlemen and ladies who had some understanding of the Eternal Blazing Sun really deceived by this monk's handsome face?
As if hearing Alice's silent guess, the handsome monk with blond hair and blue eyes showed a regretful and aggrieved look.
"I swear to Lieyang that I have an absolutely sincere attitude in my dealings with those ladies and gentlemen. This has also allowed me to make a lot of friends in the social scene of the Loen Kingdom... Maybe it's because
The Luen people are uniquely reserved and face-conscious, so almost no male friends are willing to come to my home as a guest, and only a few more enthusiastic ladies and young ladies have accepted my invitation.
But I don’t know why, they were sitting in this living room, listening to me talk about the great blazing sun, and then their expressions became very strange, and they always tried to change the topic... Then of course I would not let them succeed, so
I continued to tell them more of the miracles recorded in the scriptures and described to them how to praise the sun."
——There is a picture.
Those ladies and young ladies who accepted the invitation probably never thought that a sunny and handsome man from Intis invited them to his home not to develop a romantic relationship full of exotic feelings, but in the name of private communication.
To teach them the Church of the Eternal Burning Sun...
Although she felt a little sorry for those "deceived" ladies and gentlemen, Alice could hardly hold back her laughter.
So she pretended to keep a straight face and casually asked:
“…how to praise the sun?”
The Blazing Sun monk in front of him seemed to be energetic all of a sudden:
"How to praise the sun? Your question is great! Yes, this is an action that every sun believer should master, because every day we start by praising the sun! Are you interested in it? Very good, I am now
Let me show you how!”
As he spoke, he quickly straightened his expression, his temperament changed, and became as warm and tolerant as the sun. He raised his arms flat and opened them upward, making a peculiar posture as if he were embracing the sun.
"May the sun be with you."
At this moment, the sound of rain outside the window seemed to become a little fainter, and a warm and bright light penetrated the dark clouds, dyeing the city in the rain curtain with a little gold.
After lowering his arms, the monk who believed in the blazing sun raised his refreshing and cheerful smile again:
"How about it, do you understand? When you do the action of praising the sun, it's best to add a blessing like I did. This sentence can be a compliment to the great sun, or it can also be a blessing to the friends around you.
Best wishes to your family. Believe me, no matter how much pain and darkness lies ahead, the sun will always shine on your path...
So now, you must have learned this irresistible action, don’t you want to try it? Don’t be shy, I will praise the sun with you!”
Alice smiled and shook her head, declining his enthusiastic proposal.
"Well, if you are willing to join me in praising the sun, then it is no exaggeration to say that you are already half a believer in the sun..." The young monk sighed with some disappointment, and immediately cheered up again.
, "It's okay, we can talk about other topics, such as...for example, related to the extraordinary field! You should be interested in this aspect, right?"
It was only then that he seemed to realize that he had forgotten to ask this unknown lady to sit down and talk... No, he didn't even ask her name, and he forgot to introduce himself to her!
Brother Lieyang adjusted his robe and was about to speak to remedy the situation when he saw her shaking her head slightly.
"Sir, I can probably understand your mood. But don't you think you owe me an explanation? Why did you come to me and insist on trying to preach to me? What good does this do to you? Is it worth it?
You tied me up and escaped?"
"Because, all of this is guided by the sun." Brother Lieyang replied seriously.
Fortunately, he quickly added:
"Have you come into contact with items with the aura of the sun in the past three months... no, in the past month? And it was at a close range... I have a sealed item on my body, which is a magical item, that can help me distinguish it.
Similar traces. Moreover, judging from your dress and demeanor, you don't look like an Extraordinary. After all, there are very few nobles who are willing to become Extraordinary and agree to accept the supervision of the church..."
The monk gave an eloquent explanation, emphasizing that she was a rare and suitable candidate for the development of the teachings, and that she was also likely to be an insider of extraordinary power or a lover of occult science. He could attract her attention from the perspective of occult knowledge exchange.
The Church of the Eternal Burning Sun is interested.
"Just because you want to preach to me..." Alice's expression was a little subtle now.
She couldn't help but think of the "Level 2" Sealed Artifact that she had suffered a lot from, and what the Nighthawks team knew about it: after being in contact with that Sealed Artifact for more than two hours, the person who came into contact would change.
Become an idiot who only knows how to "praise the sun"...
Of course, the so-called "Level 2" sealed object no longer exists - she "decomposed" the wretched group of tentacles, and then stored the decomposed materials in the form of a seal.
The so-called contact with the breath of the "sun" should be referring to this, right?
After listening to her speech, Brother Lieyang shook his head seriously and corrected:
"It's not about preaching, it's about chatting with you and introducing you to the incarnation of order, the immortal light of eternity..."
After saying this, his tone turned sad:
"My colleagues, because they did not clearly distinguish between missionary behavior and personal communication, were caught by the hateful storm fanatic believers and had to leave this beautiful and prosperous city and return to their hometown in our motherland... But I
Since you are lucky enough to have escaped the conspiracy laid by the storm fanatic believers, you will not give in easily!"
His mood returned to a positive state, and he enthusiastically led the girl to sit down on the sofa in the living room, then turned around and started boiling hot water.
"What would you like to drink? Coffee or tea?"
"Thank you, but no." Alice folded her hands on her lap, feeling that she didn't want to try some strange drink that might start praising the sun after finishing it.
Seeing her refusal, the young monk did not try to force him to do anything. He used a gold charm quite extravagantly to quickly boil a pot of water, and then walked to the sofa on the opposite side with two cups filled with hot water.
He sat down and pushed one of the glasses in front of the girl.
"It may smell a little like the holy water of the sun, but it is not harmful to the human body. It can also help keep warm and drive away the cold. It is very suitable to drink a little to warm the body after accidentally getting wet in the rain."
Alice silently glanced out the window and found that the afternoon rainstorm had come and gone as quickly as it came, and now it had completely stopped, and the sky in the distance showed a sense of openness with the clouds disappearing and the rain disappearing.
"But it's midsummer now..."
Regardless of whether the other party would hear it, she murmured in a low voice, then reached out and dipped her fingertips into some "holy water", channeling her spirit to sense the faint breath in it.
The monk who believed in the blazing sun drank the hot water and put the cup on the coffee table with a smile:
"After mentioning the topic of the extraordinary field, your willingness to leave has obviously decreased a lot. It seems that I made the right choice - what do you want to know?"
"Hmm..." Silently sensing the weak pure positive force in the water, Alice stopped being distracted and thought for a while before replying, "Mythology. How does your Eternal Sun Church describe the creation myth?"
"Creation myth!" The monk showed an excited expression, "It's great that you are interested in myth! I will be happy to answer it for you!"
This is obviously a devout monk who is quite familiar with the records in the holy scriptures.
In a mellow and emotional voice, he narrated the great cause of the Creator using his body to create all living beings, and described the eternal light, the eternal blazing sun, which was born from the spirit of the Creator, and the Lord of Storms who appeared at the same time.
, the god of knowledge and wisdom...
After telling the creation myth, without the girl asking any more questions, the monk moved the time without stopping to the subsequent Second Age, Third Age, and even the Fourth Age, focusing on describing the battle of the Eternal Fierce Sun God to protect mankind.
A great cause of sustained prosperity and stability.
Alice listened quietly, occasionally taking a sip of the "Holy Sun Water" hot water and letting the various thoughts in her heart float up and down.
Although the emphasis is different, there is no doubt that the internal opinions of the Eternal Sun Church are quite consistent with the Church of the Goddess of Night, the Church of the God of Steam, and even the Church of the Lord of Storms, which has always been at odds with it.
Two churches that were hostile to each other actually recognized each other as having the same "original status" as themselves, and did not disparage other gods in their own doctrines in order to elevate themselves...
What does this mean? Is it a "blood" friendship born from the same origin?
No, gods don't pay attention to these things. There must be other reasons why the Lord of Storms, the Eternal Burning Sun, and the God of Knowledge and Wisdom are hostile to each other.
Moreover, regarding the rhetoric of myths, the four churches that Alice knows so far are surprisingly consistent - she believes that this is not because the gods are kind and willing to share the ancient stories of the ignorant era with people today.
No matter which world, history is written by the victors. And myths are just another period of history that is more ancient and out of touch with the times.
The gods unified each other's voices and concocted a set of myths with an unknown degree of authenticity for people to admire and awe.
