Are there any absolutely honest people in the world?
Yes, but definitely not many.
Many times, honesty comes at a price, no...
It should be said that people lie in order to avoid the price they should pay.
But since the church that settled in Tara Town is called 'Honesty', they must be a good church that guides people to be honest...
Ma Wei is not sure, but now that he has a real pocket watch, he can tell whether the people in Tara Town are honest or not.
Passing through the forest road covered with ice and snow, and heading east along the river bank, near noon, the public carriage finally arrived at the town of Tara.
After getting out of the car, Ma Wei and others looked at the surrounding environment while moving their stiff bodies.
This is a small town built on the river. The houses are low and many are old wooden houses. There are no advanced industrial facilities. The permanent population is less than ten thousand. Even the railway does not pass here. There is a small port. People living here People mainly rely on crops and animal husbandry for their livelihood. The most famous product is smoked pork, which is cheap, delicious and very popular.
Although it is a small town, there is a church being built here. It is located in the south of the town and is a little higher than other houses. It will be completed soon. If nothing happens...
That should be the location of the Honest Church.
"Dad, there is a very powerful god here." Yunia said, looking at the church not far away.
"How powerful?"
"A little weaker than me, but not much."
Hearing this, Ma Wei frowned. Tara Town is just a small town, and the Honesty Church is also a small church. How could a god as powerful as Yunia be born?
You know, in the past three months, the Truth Church has been recruiting many believers. Several books have been filled with lists of believers. The number of believers has surged to more than 10,000.
Assuming that the quality of believers in the Truth Church and the Honesty Church are equal, and each believer provides the same power of faith, wouldn't that mean...
Have the entire residents of Tara joined the Honesty Church?
"It seems that the Honesty Church is not simple..."
Mawei became serious and pointed to the manor on the hillside not far away and asked: "Laiwen, whose residence is there?"
"Oh, the manor of Baron Wallas. He is a down-and-out nobleman. He is in his thirties. His father died after encountering a black bear while hunting last year. Baron Wallas inherited his father's title. I heard that he had a strange disease when he was a child. He cannot walk and can only sit in a wheelchair, so he still has no children..." The author just investigated this place not long ago and remembers clearly, "The family of Baron Wallas has reached the edge of being unsustainable. If he does not have a direct heir, , then after his death, the title of Baron Wallas will be taken away by his uncle, Baron Staley."
"Baron Staley?"
Ma Wei knew this person, the boss behind the Black Swan Dance Company. When the Black Swan Dance Company escaped from the Kingdom of Sardinia and ran poorly and encountered bankruptcy crisis, it was Baron Staley who spent huge sums of money to help.
At first, Ma Wei thought that Baron Staley was a believer like Michelson who was bewitched by Jinna. He had no intention of conducting an in-depth investigation. Now that he has encountered him, it would be a good idea to ask about the situation.
The public carriage stopped at the transfer station outside the town. While Ma Wei and others were observing the surrounding environment, the passengers on the carriage had entered Tara Town one after another with their suitcases, and went about their business.
Although he had been here before, Fat Orange did not set up a Cat Legion branch in Tara Town. The main reason was that his stay was too short to organize the wild cats, and it was an alien cat and was not welcomed at all.
"Let's work separately. I'll organize Maomao again and try to establish a branch here."
After saying a few words, Fat Orange ran into the nearby bushes and disappeared.
Ma Wei doesn't have to worry about the Cat Legion, Fat Orange can definitely handle it.
"Let's go, let's go into the town and see how honest this Honesty Church really is."
Picking up their suitcases, Mavie, Yunia, Laiwen and Daniel entered the town of Tara along the dark and icy dirt road. Unlike big cities such as Mosk and Tyumen, the roads in Tara Town were not paved with bricks. There are no blocks, gravel or flint flakes, and there are no oak or pine roads common in the Romanov Kingdom. They still use natural land that will become muddy and slippery when it rains.
Fortunately, it is winter now, the ground is frozen hard, and the black soil is covered with a thin layer of ice. It makes a squeaking sound when you step on it. Apart from some slippage, you won't face the embarrassing situation of sinking in and being covered with mud.
Walking into the town, Mawei discovered that the residents living in Tara Town were indeed very happy. Whether they were workers building houses on the roadside or women passing by in long plaid skirts, they all had vague smiles on their faces, and a smile on their faces. The shrewd foreign businessmen are completely different.
While walking, Lai Wen suddenly slowed down and walked side by side with Ma Wei. He pointed to a man in a black robe who was standing in front of a vendor not far away to buy vegetables and said: "Boss, look, that's the priest of Honesty Church." , they will wear sunflower necklaces around their necks, as if they are called honest sunflowers, which are symbols of the honest church.”
Ma Wei looked carefully and saw that the man in black robe was wearing a sunflower-shaped necklace on his chest. Not only that, there were two flags hanging under the eaves of all the shops and houses on the roadside. One was the golden color of the Romanov Kingdom. A two-headed lion with a sunflower flag on one side.
As expected, the residents of Tara Town have all joined the Honesty Church... Ma Wei confirmed his previous guess.
The man buying vegetables noticed the gazes of Ma Wei and others, turned around, and the smile on his face was as bright as the sun.
The vendor standing behind him also showed the same warm smile.
No...not right!
Ma Wei was horrified to find that the smiles of the residents he saw along the way seemed to be carved from the same mold. Although they were warm and genial,...
When everyone looks at you with the same smile, a creepy and weird feeling also arises.
"This town makes me feel a little uncomfortable." Daniel twisted his shoulders and said, "I don't know why..."
"I was uncomfortable at first, but I got used to it." The letter said: "Anyway, when I investigated, there was really nothing strange here. The reason for the same smile should be an issue promoted by the Honest Church. Their purpose is to let people Everyone can smile from the bottom of their hearts.”
The smile is indeed contagious, but it will never be so exaggerated... Ma Wei whispered in his heart.
"Dad, the other party has noticed my presence." Yunia said suddenly.
If it is not deliberately exposed, gods will usually hide their aura. This is the case with Yunia. She hides it very well, and even Jinna cannot see through it. More powerful gods can see through the disguise of weak gods, and vice versa. Same....
Edward, who was stronger at the time, also recognized Yunia's identity at a glance.
If the gods of the Honesty Church can detect Yunia's existence, it just means that the other party's strength is on the same level as Yunia, and there won't be much of a gap.
"Is the other party hostile?"
"Not yet. The other party took the initiative to reveal that she knew I was coming."
"So...honest."
Ma Wei didn’t know how to evaluate it.
After a few minutes, they came to a three-story hotel. People were coming and going, most of them were passengers in the same carriage. After checking in in a hurry, they put their boxes directly at the front desk and rushed out. We went to the hotel to discuss business.
Aren't you afraid of thieves?
Looking at the piles of boxes on the ground, Ma Wei remembered the very famous folk song of the Kingdom of Windsor:
"Lalda, Larda,
If you don’t want to go hungry because you lost your wallet,
Just stop selling flowers near the station.
There are all elegant and romantic gypsies. If you are not careful,
Mom is going to beat you again! "
Although this is just a folk song, it also reflects the social situation of many thieves in the Kingdom of Windsor. Not only the Kingdom of Windsor, but also similar alarming rumors in places such as the Kingdom of Poppont, the Kingdom of Frederick, and the Kingdom of Sardinia. I hope the police will do something for you. It is unrealistic for people to devote themselves to money and wealth, so this kind of song appears.
There are too many thieves, which makes people very vigilant. Many people will take good care of their belongings and just put the boxes on the ground and go out...
Mavi hasn't seen it for a long time.
"It's okay, boss, no one steals anything here." The message said: "I did a test last time. I threw a hundred rubles worth of tickets into the crowd. Guess what? No one grabbed it at all. Pick it up. I asked who had lost it, and when no one claimed it, I took it to the church and posted a notice.... I waited for two days to make sure no one claimed it, and then I got the money back."
"Is that an exaggeration?"
"This is normal in Tara."
Lai Wen waved his hand, walked to the counter, and greeted the receptionist behind him warmly: "Hi! Simona! We meet again!"
"Mr. Letter!" The receptionist immediately recognized the letter. Her eyes lit up and her smile was warm and warm: "You are really back!"
"Of course, I said last time that I would definitely come back... This time I even brought someone to take care of your business!"
Seeing Ma Wei and others standing at the door, the receptionist named Xiemona said with some worry: "There has been a rat infestation in our hotel recently. We have asked people from the church to clean it up, but it is not our turn yet, and The floors in many rooms are squeaky, and... because there are too many guests, the rooms are a bit short..."
"How many more rooms are there?"
"There are only two rooms left..." Xie Mona said: "The windows do not face south, so it will be cold and cold. However, I can put two more carbon stoves in the room, which should be better."
"Two rooms...one room for me and Daniel, and one room for Boss and his friends. It's enough!"
"Is that okay?"
"We don't mind! Right boss?"
".....Um."
Now that the communication has spoken, what else can Ma Wei say?
She even told the story about the rat, Xemona... was indeed very honest.
The red pointer stayed at 3 o'clock, proving that Simona was not lying.
This is no longer an issue with the Honest Church. The residents of the entire town of Tara are honest. Here...
I'm afraid it really is an honest town.
It's so honest that it doesn't feel real to Mavi.
