The air in the corner room on the second floor of the hotel is cold and humid. The room, which has not been exposed to much sunlight all year round, exudes a dull musty smell. The floor is more rotten than in the corridor. Fortunately, the mattresses are often changed to dry and placed in the room. The carbon stove in the middle also dissipates a lot of cold air.
"Come on, what is the origin of the Honesty Church?"
Mawei sat next to the charcoal stove, keeping warm while asking: "Where did they come from?"
"The Kingdom of Windsor."
"What?"
"You heard it right." The message spread out his hands, "The Honesty Church is indeed from the Kingdom of Windsor, but it is not the West Island where we are, but the East Island. It is located in York City, north of the royal capital. nearby."
"After the "New Religious Law" was promulgated, they fled immediately and came to the Romanov Kingdom. They wanted to use the power of the royal family to develop, but they were not welcomed and no one was willing to accept them."
"This is normal. They preach honesty and call on people not to lie. This is a condition that nobles and gentry cannot agree to. There are many things that cannot be discussed if the truth is told." Daniel said: "Politics is the most dirty and twisted thing. Politicians who embody all the shortcomings of human nature and like to tell the truth usually die young."
"Yes, so they were expelled by Paul I. The last thing politicians need is honesty."
Ma Wei took out the real pocket watch and said to himself: "The Honest Church in the town of Tara where I am currently comes from the Kingdom of Windsor."
correct.
"The information is correct."
Nodding, Ma Wei put away his pocket watch and hesitated: "If the Honesty Church is in line with the truth, we can try to win them over, but the problem is that the gods behind the Honesty Church are about the same strength as Yunia. I am afraid they will not join us willingly. , become part of the truth.”
"It's not up to them." Daniel sneered: "The most important thing for a kingdom is unity. Split is something that no king can allow. The same goes for the church. If you, teacher, want to use the Romanov Kingdom as a basis, you must not be merciful. , all those who are unwilling to join the church must be eliminated, otherwise there will be disaster in the future!"
Of course I know this... But by doing this, wouldn't it be the same as the Church of the Three Goddess of Destiny and the Church of God of Wisdom?
Ma Wei sighed in his heart. He was not a merciful person, but the current situation he was facing was indeed turning him into a dragon step by step.
As a small church that had been oppressed and excluded, they tried their best to escape to the Romanov Kingdom. After thinking hard about development, they began to oppress the living space of other small churches, just like the evil dragons they once were.
Is this behavior consistent with the truth?
"Teacher, you are hesitant." Daniel looked at the silent Ma Wei and said, "You keep pursuing the truth, but whenever you face an important decision, you hesitate. This is not the attitude a pope should have. If you want more If many people understand the meaning of truth, then they must first create a good soil that can incubate the truth. You are the pope and the priest. There are some things and decisions that must be made by you and only you."
These words and tone sounded extremely familiar. Ma Wei looked at Daniel with a serious expression and suddenly smiled: "You look so much like Katerina."
"Really? Then she must be a tough king." Daniel said, "And you, teacher, should also be such a person. A chaotic situation does not require mercy."
yes....
Now that I've made my mind up, I shouldn't hesitate about this kind of thing.
Ma Wei took a deep breath, closed the lid of the charcoal stove, stood up and said, "Let's go and see the God of Honesty to see if he is consistent with the truth."
After closing the windows and extinguishing the charcoal stove, Ma Wei and the others left the hotel. They had lunch at a roadside restaurant and tasted the famous smoked pork, and then slowly arrived at the southern part of Tara Town.
The church is still under construction. Workers are placing pieces of black stone on the wall. The sound of nails and hammers can be heard continuously. Many monks and priests gathered around this half-built honest church. They surrounded a man in a wheelchair. The thin man was discussing something.
"Boss, the man in the wheelchair,
It was Baron Wallas, who funded the construction of this church. ” Lai Wen whispered.
The man in the wheelchair is pale, with stubble all over his chin, and his hair is as messy as a chicken coop. He has a blanket on his legs and a well-behaved Siamese cat in his arms. He looks slovenly, but he is indispensable among the crowd. He ignored the existence, and the priests and monks all acted around him.
Just as Ma Wei was observing him, a middle-aged man with a majestic face and a white robe walked out of the half-renovated church. Judging from his facial features, he was not a Slavic man, but looked like a Windsor man that Ma Wei was more familiar with.
"Bishop Hans..."
The priests and monks bowed and saluted the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man said a dull "hmm" and looked around, his eyes resting on Ma Wei and the others.
Quickly walking up to Ma Wei and the others, a middle-aged man named Hans said in a deep voice, "She wants to see you, please come with me."
The other party went straight to the point, and Ma Wei did not intend to beat around the bush. He followed Bishop Hans and walked into the dusty church. He asked curiously: "This church is only half-built, why do you want to live in it? You live in the town." Wouldn’t it be better to go up?”
"That lady likes sunshine, so the church without a ceiling is her favorite residence." Bishop Hans explained casually.
Walking straight through the church hall, accompanied by the afternoon sunshine, Mawei and the others came to the open space behind the church, where...
A man in an orange suit turned his back to them, facing the direction of the sun, with his eyes closed and a gentle look on his face, as if he was feeling the warmth of the sun.
"welcome...."
Hearing the footsteps behind him, the man turned around. He looked young and looked like he was in his twenties or thirties. His hair was meticulously combed and he had no beard. His eyes were gray and white, and his cheeks were round, somewhat like... pan.
After searching for a long time, Ma Wei found a suitable adjective. Yes, it was a household pan.
"I've heard of you, you're very famous." The man said with a smile, "Marvey Enders, you are a celebrity no matter in the Kingdom of Windsor or the Kingdom of Romanov, your name has appeared in the newspapers more than once .”
"Your Excellency is..."
"My name is Ailan, you can just call me Ailan. They all think that I am the god of honesty, but I feel that I am not a god. I am still very far away from a god. Everyone loves me and I feel the most Happy things, and this..."
Alan's eyes moved down to look at Junia next to Ma Wei, and said with a smile: "She must be the goddess of truth, hello."
"Hello!" Yunia nodded heavily.
"Hans, please go out first. Baron Wallas is not in good health recently. You should take more care of him."
"Yes." Bishop Hans nodded solemnly, glanced at Ma Wei, and turned to leave.
"Now we are the only ones left..."
Ai Lan nodded and said, "I can roughly guess your purpose of coming. In fact, someone came to see me not long ago."
"Has anyone looked for you?"
"The other party claimed to be a priest of the Wisdom Cult. After they came to Tara Town, they originally wanted to build a church here, but I had already settled here, so they asked me some questions and then left."
"What did they ask you?"
"A lot. For example, when they asked me my name, I told them my name was Ailan. Then they asked me about my identity, and I answered truthfully... It's really interesting how they were careful and probing. In fact, I didn't mean any harm at all. ." Ailan smiled: "I just want to find a place to live. I have no ambition to expand. At the same time... I also want to escape the fate of becoming food."
The sunlight shifted and the tree shadows began to move. Aylan took a step forward and walked into the sunlight again.
"I want to build a utopia without lies. This is my innate mission. I can't do this without power, so I recruited the residents of Tara Town. This place is very good. I am already satisfied. .”
The red pointer has always stayed at 3 o'clock. From the moment he saw Ailan, Ma Wei took out the real pocket watch. Ailan said so many words
, all are true.
"Why don't you talk?"
"Do you want to become a true god?"
Ailan's eyelids twitched and he didn't answer.
"please answer my question."
"Aren't you willing to let me go?"
"If what you just said came from the bottom of my heart, I would leave immediately, but from beginning to end, you never mentioned anything about gods..."
Ma Wei narrowed his eyes: "You did not tell a lie, but all the truth you showed was to cover up more important things. Am I right, Mr. Alan?"
