Chapter 1,150 So I’m Not Surprised at All What Happened.

(Please ask for votes at the end of the month! Now I am a man who will never forget to ask for monthly votes!)

Under normal circumstances, in a country where divine power is supreme and classic idol worship is practiced, the most important building in the city must be the temple, and the most important decoration must be the statue of the god. It can even be said that the function of the statue of the god has far exceeded the function of city decoration. , and rose to the level of the spiritual pillar of the people. In this city, the statue of the God of War is located in the most prosperous area, and we happened to bump into it.

It was a giant rock statue standing at the intersection of three city avenues. It was nearly ten meters high and lifelike. The whole sculpture had obviously been blessed by some kind of sacred ceremony. It was obviously just a stone, but it was filled with a layer of pale gold from top to bottom. This layer of holy light, which is not dazzling, spreads evenly and softly throughout the small square, filling the place with a peaceful atmosphere. The noise of the public gathering just a few dozen meters away is also sacred here. The force field of serenity isolates perfectly. The sculpture is located on a hexagonal base, and the image it represents is of a fully armed and powerful warrior. This energetic young warrior is wearing solid and heavy armor. The armor is carved with mysterious and elegant patterns, and behind him is a Wearing a long cloak, the cloak is flying, showing a lightness that is difficult to express in its stone material. This sculpture even has clear and detailed wrinkles on the cloak. It can be seen that the craftsman who carved this work of art was working hard on this project. At all times, I work with such a pious and devoted attitude. The warrior in the sculpture holds a large half-length shield in his left hand, blocking it from his side. The right hand is holding a huge sword decorated with gorgeous wings, and it is slashing forward. The entire body of the sculpture is therefore slightly leaning forward and about to pounce - this artwork shows a man who is fighting. The image of a warrior.

And when my eyes moved upward, and finally focused on the face of the sculpture, what I saw was a handsome face with perfect edges and corners like an ancient Greek handsome man. Well, it was so handsome that it was a bit tragic. Moreover, in order to express the bravery of the warrior, the sculptor also deliberately showed the faint anger and infinite bravery when facing the enemy on this face, which basically maximized the remaining value of this face. I can say with confidence that just by showing off this face in public. I can seduce a girl who has been strengthened. I would rather do nothing than have something happen to the owner of this face...

I am quite familiar with this face, but what I see most often is its second version: neither heroic and strong, nor angry when facing battle, on the contrary, as long as the owner of this face opens his eyes, Eighty or ninety percent of the time every day, I spent squatting at the door or lying on the window sill, facing the sunshine outside with a pure and clean smile, and saying hello to the young girls and wives passing by like a slut... The remaining 120% of the time is busy eating and has no time to care about anything else.

certainly. When eating, he still behaves like a second-rate person. He is the only one among the adults in the family, except Qian Qian, who can shamelessly compete with the little girls for pudding, rain or shine for the past six months.

I remained leaning out of the car window for several minutes, staring dumbfoundedly at the sculpture of the God of War carved in cowhide in the square, and repeated in my mouth: Your uncle’s 123...

I'm actually in that guy's territory. Then what is the purpose of all this fuss between me and Shandora and all the turmoil at home?

"Um...this is really...it's really a script that only happens once with Arjun." Sandora also saw what was outside, and after being stunned with me for a while, she scratched her hair and revealed a bit of... A troubled smile, to be honest I quite cared about what she said - why is it called a script that only happens when you are with me? I have a cheating aura and the effect is +10 per level?

"Come on, let's hope we go home," I shrugged. I was about to activate the mental connection to report the "good" news to Lin Xue, but as soon as I entered the mental connection, I found that I couldn't contact him - it wasn't that I couldn't contact him at all. I could sense Lin Xue's response, but the information couldn't be transmitted at all. Only then did I suddenly remember that Lin Xue seemed to have said that she was going to lie down in Tavel's "coffin" again and use the old antenna to locate the Fifth Fleet. Now they may have started debugging the equipment.

The old set of antennas need to be matched when the system is started, to match the system core (that is, Lin Xue), and to match the illuminated target (that is, the Fifth Fleet). During this period, the signal strength will fluctuate greatly, and Lin Xue himself also I couldn't tell the difference. Probably for this reason, the communication between me and her was temporarily disrupted. I glanced at Sandora, shrugged and explained the situation. In fact, there is an alternative plan now: maybe I and Xiaoxue can connect directly. After all, that girl inherited half-immortal cells from her mother. But just now I suddenly came up with another idea, this novel idea. It was so unbearable that I immediately decided not to contact my family mentally for the time being.

"Excuse me, can you visit your temple now?"

I turned to the seat in front and asked. Sitting in front was Mr. Lei, the priest of the God of War, who was temporarily considered our half-guide. I estimated that he was probably the largest official in the church in this city besides the Pope - and at the worst, he was a Second in command.

"Arjun? What do you want to do?" Shandora glanced at me inexplicably. It was probably difficult for her to guess what my plans were. With the character of Apostle Xiling, of course, only simple and efficient things are good - Her Majesty the Queen does not understand what bad taste is.

"Let me try what the so-called God Realm Line is," I winked at Sandora and smiled, "Isn't there a temple of 123 here? Let's see if we can talk to 123 directly with that one. Quite fun."

Sandora blinked her beautiful big blue eyes, looked at me steadily for a few seconds, and said nonchalantly: "Okay, I'll listen to you, just treat it as an experiment."

I had mentioned before that I wanted to visit the Temple of the God of War, but at that time "Lei" told us that the nearest temple was holding a ceremony and therefore could not be opened for the time being. Regardless of whether it was true or not - because at that time they seemed to be still observing "aliens" "The intention to come to Blue Star. Maybe they are still a little wary of extraterrestrial visitors, or maybe they are really praying to the God of War in order to get God's instructions on the "extraterrestrial visitors" incident - but now I think about how this ritual should be completed. Sure enough, this time the other party didn't shirk any more. I don't know how he contacted the temple. Anyway, "Lei" covered his ears as if to confirm something with someone, then turned to me and said: "Just right. Prayers from the temple." The event has ended, I'm sorry for taking so long. Let's set off to the temple now."

The hover car rose to a higher altitude - which was equivalent to entering the fast lane - and then accelerated directly to its fastest speed, rushing straight towards the center of the city. Looking down from this height, I saw several city avenues extending straight forward, finally converging around a tall and majestic building. That should be the Temple of War.

This feeling is so subtle...it's actually the temple of 123's cheating guy. This is even more subtle than seeing Dingdang's temple, because anyway, I have at least seen Dingdang handling official duties, and 123...the time when he is most diligent is every six months. After reading the report, I really can't imagine how he gained such a large group of steadfast believers in this world.

The hover car soon stopped in front of the magnificent building in the center of the city. It was a Gothic cathedral that was completely different from the surrounding buildings. Apparently, Ilson ordered his followers to build this building according to his own preferences. , this is also a characteristic of most temples in the multiverse - no matter what the architectural style of the local world is, the temple will be built according to the star field style or the personal style of the god under the guidance of "divine enlightenment", so in its Corresponding to every world ruled by gods. The temples all look almost the same, which also leads to the fact that in the world managed by the star domain gods, the temples often stand out from the crowd - if a Gothic cathedral suddenly pops up in a circle of cylindrical alien houses, it will definitely stand out from the crowd, and The crane in front of us is extraordinarily big.

For a group of staunch believers, building a unique house dedicated to a god is not much of an undertaking. For the gods themselves, building the temple to specific specifications makes it easier to generate magical nodes everywhere, so this is a very efficient and wise solution.

At the entrance of the temple, we once again saw the cowhide statue of 123. This time it was not in a fighting posture, but an image of a post-war warrior holding a sword and staring into the distance. Shandora and I watched at the door for half a minute. Finally, we couldn't bear the torture of our consciences and closed our eyes - we couldn't stand it any longer...

Under the leadership of Mr. Lei and Mr. Qiao (every time these two names are mentioned, why do I feel that this is a story that takes place within the third ring road of K City?), Sandora and I stepped into the The cathedral also temporarily blocked out the "guards" behind us who thought they were well hidden: Of course we were followed by the "staff" of the Azure Star authority, and they all followed us. It was really hard work. of.

Like most religious gatherings, after entering the gate of the Temple of War, the first thing on both sides is a set of reliefs symbolizing the achievements of the gods - some temples will have a set of totem poles, and there are usually flower vine walls on both sides of the main entrance of the jingling temple. No matter what it is, the first thing that greets you when you enter the gate is something similar, and directly ahead is the hall where believers gather, a wide rectangular venue. The usual sacrificial ceremonies are held here, and the main hall is also the place for daily sermons and certain religious witnessing activities. There is no obstruction between the assembly hall and the main door of the temple. There is a strict requirement here, that is, except for the only door, nothing is allowed to block the statues in the main hall of the temple and the children outside the temple. Among the people, be sure to open the door and enter the main hall. Everyone can probably see the great symbolic significance of this.

The main hall of the Temple of War is different from ordinary churches in that there are no rows of benches here, only simple cushions neatly arranged on the ground, so the hall appears to be particularly empty. Gorgeous stained glass is arranged on both sides of the main hall. The golden light shines into the hall through these stained glass, creating a sense of sacredness and warmth for no reason. At the end of the main hall is something like a pulpit, and behind the pulpit there is also a statue of the God of War. Well, it still looks so shameful that people can't bear to see it. It is said that believers always like to put the image of their god everywhere, because it can indeed bring them great power - whether it is psychological or physical - but the more I look at the statue of 123, the more I look at it. The more unbearable it is to witness it, this subtle psychological deficit is difficult for outsiders to understand: you are surrounded by a useless person who has no other talents except eating. In another world, he is portrayed as powerful as the savior. As an insider who has a deep understanding of this bastard, this seems to be a rhythm that requires six-pack abs...

“This is where we pray to the God of War and receive blessings, and this is our great God of War,” Lei spread his hands with a pious expression and pointed to us at the statue of the God of War behind the pulpit. “His power was in the period of ignorance. Saved humanity all over the world. I don’t know if you have similar beliefs on alien planets... Oh, this may be a sensitive topic, but please understand a believer’s strong thirst for knowledge in this regard.”

I'm coming. Sure enough, Mr. Lei finally couldn't restrain his sense of historical mission as a missionary and was ready to open up his religious market among aliens - but how should I answer this damn question in front of me?

"Well... about gods. We do know this concept in our world, and like you, we also regard gods as something that exists for granted, and our understanding of gods is probably much deeper than yours, um, It’s much more profound. It’s just that we don’t have an attitude of faith towards gods…”

It was about the attitude of raising (Dingdang) and raising (the five-man group of strips) - I didn't dare to say the second half of the sentence, because I was afraid that the old man in front of me would not be able to breathe on the spot, so I really went to find Yiersen.

At this moment, out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly saw a person walking out of the side door next to the pulpit. He was wearing a long white dress. A girl with long pale golden hair and a golden crown on her head walked to the pulpit as if no one else was watching and began to wipe the ritual items on it.

Completely ignoring the stranger in front of me.

"Um...is this?" I pointed at the girl curiously and asked, taking the opportunity to change the subject.

"She is the maid of the God of War. She is responsible for taking care of the spiritual image of the God of War in this world - that is, this church." Lei showed a loving smile on his face. "In the church, she is also called a saint. As a relationship with the god People who talk directly, the work of a saint is sacred and strict, when acting as a saint. She is not allowed to talk directly to mortals, but can only talk to high-ranking priests and gods themselves, so she will not Tell you..."

Just as Mr. Lei was speaking halfway, a melodious bell suddenly sounded from nowhere in the church. Then the elegant blond saint looked up at us and said in a clear voice: "Hey, grandpa, bring the guests. Yes? Oh, hello, my name is Eva..."

Mr. Lei shrugged: "The saint gets off work at 5:30 every afternoon, as stipulated by the God of War."

I:"……"

Actually I'm not surprised at all, you know?

And Mr. Lei is definitely not surprised: he has been working for such a god of war for most of his life.

Shandora and I maintained a calm smile and looked up at the statue of the God of War on the pulpit. This gave Mr. Lei time to explain the matter, so the "maid of the God of War" who called herself Eva was pulled aside by the old man. Muttering started. At this time, I also noticed that the girl had a calm temperament. Even if she suddenly spoke, this feeling was not destroyed. I was very curious about how she could still maintain her temperament despite being affected by Ilson's aura every day. Such elegance.

In any case, she does seem to be worthy of the title of "Holy Lady".

"So that's it." After a while, Eva came over with a smile on her face, "Friends from another world, welcome to God's living room. I'm glad that you come with peace. So what do I have to say? Can you help me?"

Lei said next to him: "Actually, Eva is my granddaughter. She has grown up in the church district and knows very much about the God of War. If you are interested in things about this church and festivals, she can answer most of them. question."

I nodded, pointed at the statue of 123 and said, "Now, I just want to ask, what should we do if we want to talk to your gods?"

Lei and Eva obviously never expected that the first question about gods from "The Visitor from Extraterrestrials" would go to the core, so they were stunned for a moment, and then the old man said with a subtle expression: "Friend, talking to gods is not that easy. Although gods He is with everyone, but He will not have time to reply to our words one by one. Usually, only certain people can talk directly to God."

"Like a saint, right?" My eyes fell on Eva, and I organized my words, "Well, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to offend your beliefs, I just wanted to...well, I wanted to make sure that I The world, is the process of communicating with God the same as our world, so I want to see your process of communicating with God. This should be possible, right?"

Sure enough, when Mr. Lei heard this reason, all the wrinkles on his face suddenly relaxed, showing a happy expression: "Oh, oh, that's it, of course, the gods are friendly, I think he will not Mind if we contact him about this.”

However, Eva frowned slightly: "I just performed a prayer. It was a prayer about the appearance of alien battleships above the planet and I hope to get instructions. Contacting the gods so frequently..."

Lei patted Eva on the shoulder lovingly: "It doesn't matter, I have served the God of War for sixty years, and he will not blame you."

With the support of the old man, Eva put down her worries. She gave us a sweet smile and began to quickly prepare the things needed for the prayer ceremony: placing a gorgeously decorated golden sword on the altar, using the holy Guang wrote mysterious words in the air in front of the altar, and held a metal leaf in his mouth. On Eva's shoulder, there was a thick golden book slung on a thin iron chain. After the metal leaf slowly glowed white, she took off the leaf and spread the big book in front of her eyes, slowly reciting the sacred agreement above: "My Lord, your believers hereby pray for your response. We need God’s guidance…”

After a moment, a soft voice came from high in the sky: "Sorry, the god you are calling is temporarily unable to answer. Please call again later, or read the voice message in Chapter 2, Chapter 6 of the Bible."

Eva turned to us and showed a simple smile: "Sorry, the God of War is off work.". . )
