MTL - Whispering Verse-Chapter 7 God and the Church
"Isn't it really my bad luck?"
Xia De speculated in his heart about the chance encounter with Dr. Schneider just now, but fortunately, the sound of his stomach rumbling brought him back to reality, and now the commission is really the most important thing.
Less than twelve hours before crossing, Xia De must learn to endure hunger. If he traveled through the forest, he might have a chance to hunt, and if it was an era of chaos, he might also have a chance to get food.
But it is such a big city with order, if you want to fill your stomach, you must abide by the order. Xia De stood at the entrance of the newspaper office and looked at the clubs where the "upper class" entered and exited not far away, expecting the feeling of hunger to pass. Fortunately, he just needs to stand and wait now. If he needs to pursue him, he really has nothing to do.
"I've never heard of a traveler who would go hungry."
He whispered in his heart, wanting to blame himself for his incompetence. But after thinking about it, there was nothing he could do about the current situation. He could only hope that the lady would show up quickly so that he could submit a report to his employer.
Standing there thinking about something, someone handed over a flyer, and Xia De just took it. Looking up, he saw a smiling missionary with a round face, wearing a priestly white robe, with the holy emblem of the church on his left chest, and a black pendant hanging on his chest, distributing papers to the nearby crowd.
Although this neighborhood is not as prosperous as the Saint Teresa Square where Shade currently lives, it is also an important avenue in the central part of the city, so it is appropriate for the missionaries to choose to distribute leaflets here.
Looking down, what was stuffed into his hand was the church propaganda belonging to the [Church of War and Peace]. When Xia De was rummaging through the house, he learned about the state of belief in this world and knew that this was one of the Orthodox Churches.
In the past era of this world, there were quite a lot of stories about gods, but in the current era, only five gods are officially recognized by the government and the people. Therefore, the mainstream belief in the world is these five righteous gods——
Father of Peace, also known as [God of War and Peace], the holy emblem is a white dove with light gray wings;
Mr. Liming, also known as [God of Light and Shadow], his holy emblem is a notched ring, brass in color;
The old man with the lamp, also known as [God of the Sun and the Earth], his holy emblem is the sun pattern, golden yellow;
Ms. Creation, also known as [God of Creation and Destruction], her holy emblem is a wrench, silver in color;
Lord of all things, also known as [God of Nature and Evil Thoughts], his holy emblem is two overlapping leaves, one withered yellow and one green. The old man who transported the corpse not long ago was a member of the Natural Church.
"Huh? Why are the priesthoods promoted by the righteous gods all relative concepts?"
Thinking of this, Xia De suddenly had more thoughts about this world. But that kind of inexplicable feeling can't be better expressed to myself. Some kind of power seemed to be touched in the blur, and a whisper sounded in the ear:
[You feel a 'miracle'. 】
This time it is a "miracle" of one of the four elements. So far, Xia De has come into contact with all of them except [blasphemy]. According to the information mentioned by the voice in my mind, it seems that only by touching the complete four elements can one be qualified to touch the mystery and open the door of the extraordinary.
"It seems to be easier than I thought. It only took me half a day to get three-quarters of it."
So the woman's laughter sounded again in my head, it was really beautiful.
The five Orthodox churches are not hostile to each other, and their relationship with each other is at least much better than the relationship between human kingdoms.
Churches vary in strength in different regions, but in Tobesk, the pearl of the north, all five churches exist, and there is relatively "friendly" competition with each other.
Xia De thought about these things, looked at the printed matter in his hand, and sighed that the printing machine did not need to be "invented" by himself. Although the printing quality is not very high, but at least...
I stared and suddenly found important information. Most of the leaflets introduced the teachings of the righteous God [Father of Peace], and welcomed believers and pagans to go to the church to listen to the weekly scheduled lectures and sermons.
What is important is that it is written at the bottom of the paper that if you hold this leaflet and line up at the gate of the church at 5:30 pm on weekends, you can receive free relief food. And it was written in a line of small characters, no matter how long the line is, as long as you show up before six o'clock, you will definitely be able to get a number plate and food.
Even if it is embarrassing to go to receive this relief food, at least let Xia De know that he will definitely not starve to death today. He rubbed his nose, wrote down the church address of [The Church of Victory and Peace], and then solemnly folded the leaflet with a strong ink smell, and put it in Mr. Hamilton's notepad.
I thanked that **** in a low voice in my heart, after all, it is a world where transcendence seems to exist, so it is better to be cautious. Although the feeling of hunger still hasn't subsided, at least my mood is much better.
"Luck is actually not too bad."
Xia De thought in his heart, knowing that once Mrs. La Soya under investigation entered the club, she would not come out within an hour or two, so he wondered if he could talk to the missionary.
Belief in God is universal in this world, but atheists are a minority among the minority. Of course, as long as you don't publicly yell that you don't trust God, it's fine, but Xia De intends to learn more about these so-called righteous gods. In a world of faith, ignorance of these things is all the more dangerous.
He was still thinking about how to strike up a conversation with the other party, but the missionary had already walked away. I was very sorry in my heart, but I didn't catch up, but continued to stand there and wait. After all, when I got a firm foothold, I had plenty of time to understand all this.

There are actually quite a few people like him standing at the gate of the newspaper, most of them are reporters waiting for new news, and a few are idlers working for the newspaper. Today is Saturday, even though the weather is foggy, Valente Pedestrian Street as the main road is very lively, so it is not surprising that so many people stand here.
Although it is called a "pedestrian street", horse-drawn carriages are not prohibited. While observing the club, Xia De looked at the passing pedestrians and carriages. He thought that this would help him better integrate into the place.
There was a burning smell in the air, which of course was smog. But the smell wasn't very strong, just a mist that hung in the air, thickening as the sun moved westward from overhead.
Xia De was worried about his physical condition, and in his wild thoughts, he saw another carriage parked at the entrance of the club. Immediately looking up, it turned out to be Mr. Lawrence, the client's husband.
"Interesting, windfall."
He whispered, write down the current time, and write the information in the notebook.
The client, Mrs. Lawrence, spent a lot of money. If her husband and his lover were caught having a tryst at the club on the day of submitting the report, she might be able to pay an extra reward.
"But it's also possible that the angry woman implicated me."
Xia De thought wildly in his heart, hoping to see Mrs. La Soya welcoming Mr. Lawrence at the door of the club, but unfortunately Mr. Lawrence walked into the club by himself.
Even though it was a street away, Shad could see the smile and excitement on Mr. Lawrence's face. He definitely didn't come to the club to play cards or drink tea.
"Good luck."
He said in his heart, shaking his head and recorded Mr. Lawrence's clothes in detail today to prove the authenticity of his report.
