Chapter 205 The Past of the Angels (Three in One, Thanks to Alliance Leader Gudi Minglei Mi)

Longshe City South City.

The old church of the Holy Angel Church.

This place should be a sacred place, but it always makes people feel a little strange.

Today is the pilgrimage day of the old church.

In the square in front of the old church, countless pilgrims are kneeling.

Some of them kneel in front of the church, put their hands together, and keep muttering something.

Some lie on the ground, kissing the ground in front of the church.

Some lie quietly on the ground, skinny, with gray eyes, and their mouths open and close unconsciously.

A few brown pigeons jump wantonly among the pilgrims on the ground, making "coo, coo" sounds.

"Ding! Ding! Ding!"

Three long bells rang, and two nuns in white and black robes came out pushing a cart.

On the cart was a large pot of simmered broken wheat, which was steaming, and a few faint fragrances diluted the fishy smell in the air.

The believers in front of the church stood up one after another. They did not make noise or argue, but lined up in two long lines very consciously.

Qi Ge, who was walking among the pilgrims, was bumped by a ragged old man.

He was fine, but the one who bumped him fell down.

The old man's skin was dry and wrinkled, wrapped around his bones, as if it had been drained, without flesh and blood, only skeleton and skin.

His eyeballs were sunken and his eyelids were tightly closed. Even when he fell to the ground, his eyes never opened. He must be blind.

"Old man, are you okay?"

Qi Ge squatted down and helped the old pilgrim up. The nun at the front desk who led the way also stopped and looked back at Qi Ge.

The old pilgrim who was helped up by Qi Ge did not respond to Qi Ge. A careful observation revealed that his upper and lower lips were slightly opening and closing.

When Qi Ge helped him up, he put his head close to his mouth, and then heard a sound like panting from his breathing.

"Holy angel, holy angel."

After being helped up, the old pilgrim walked forward tremblingly.

He could not see anything, but he walked accurately to the back of the pilgrims and moved slowly with the team.

Qi Ge felt that something was blocking him.

He stopped and looked in the direction of the nun.

The nun of the church scooped a spoonful from the steaming basin with a spoon and poured the boiling sorghum porridge into the hands of the pilgrims.

The boiling sorghum poured into the hands of the pilgrims, as if injecting a little strength into their dry bodies.

The pilgrims could not wait to bury their heads in the sorghum porridge, and the sorghum turned into light and shattered, which was directly absorbed by the pilgrims.

In an instant, the pilgrims' gray bodies seemed to have color, and even their movements were a little more powerful.

After "eating" the Eucharist, they returned to their original positions. As their mouths opened and closed, the color on their bodies began to fade rapidly.

Qi Ge was kind-hearted and could not bear to see this.

He sighed and followed the nun at the front desk again, heading towards the old church.

You don't need to really eat the food in the Heroic Soul World. Food itself is just a kind of energy.

You can absorb it directly if you want to.

But generally no NPC will do this.

After all, the process of chewing delicious food itself will make people feel happy.

Unless that thing is really hard to swallow.

In the doctrine of the Holy Angel Church, enjoying delicious food is a sin.

Qi Ge felt in his previous life that the person who made up this doctrine must be a bastard who has lost his conscience and should be chopped up and fed to the three-headed dog of hell.

I'm talking about you, Inheim.

The Holy Angel Church classifies the normal desires of some creatures into the seven deadly sins.

This doctrine suppresses the normal instincts of creatures to the limit, thereby cultivating a bunch of zombies whose minds only pray to angels.

This kind of zombie is the so-called pilgrim.

In other words, the production machine of NPC angels.

They go to bed and wake up every day, pray to angels, and eat a so-called "holy meal" at a certain time.

After eating, continue to pray for the angels until you are exhausted and fall asleep.

Their prayers will generate faith points, which are converted and absorbed by the "Cloud City" and become nutrients for the NPC angels.

Erathia does not lack Cloud City or resources, but lacks faith.

In the previous life, Qi Ge received the task of changing all this from Adela, but before he could succeed, he encountered the Chaos invasion.

During the Chaos invasion, Qi Ge and Adela had to suppress the ongoing plan.

Because no matter what, the pilgrim system is the source of the birth of angel NPCs.

If the pilgrim system is suddenly overturned, the front-line angel NPCs will not be able to connect, and the main force against Chaos will be lost, and Erathia will die.

No matter how hard those pilgrims live, at least they are still alive.

Being swallowed by Chaos means death without a burial place.

You can only choose the lesser of two evils.

Qi Ge walked through the pilgrims' team and followed the nun into the church step by step.

On both sides of the church, there are all kinds of angel statues, angels are posing in various postures, charging, flying, praying, or reading.

These stone statues are dead, without any warmth.

Walking in the church, it is extremely quiet.

Except for the footsteps of Qi Ge and the nun, there is no noise.

With a bunch of pilgrims queuing up like living dead to receive "holy communion" in front of the church, it is an indescribable hell.

It's as if Qi Ge entered a zombie factory.

Qi Ge was alive and kicking when he went in, but became a walking corpse when he came out.

If possible, since they are all zombie manufacturing factories, Qi Ge would rather enter the succubus lair.

Rather than having his soul drained dry, Qi Ge would rather have his body drained dry.

After all, Qi Ge has a good physique and can persist longer, and the process will be happier.

It's a pity that I don't have a choice.

Arriving at the prayer hall of the old church, Adela was alone.

Her back is to the Seven Doves, and in front of her is a colossal statue of an angel that reaches to the top of the church.

The nun who was leading Qi Ge turned around and said to Qi Ge with some guilt: "

Guild Master Seven Pigeons, in fact, it is Adela Legend who wants to see you.

For some reason, this meeting cannot be discovered by others.

I'm sorry for deceiving you. "

Seeing her bowing hard, Qi Ge stretched out his hand to help, and thinking that she might be disgusted by male touch, he changed it to a gesture commonly used in Holy Angel Church and said:

"No need to be sorry, the angels will bear all your sins for you."

The female receptionist was stunned for a moment when she heard a line that was often spoken by the bishops of Holy Angel Church suddenly coming out of Qi Ge's mouth.

She raised her head and saw Qi Ge's eyes that seemed to see through people's hearts. This made her a little shy, and she ran out covering her face.

"Are you the president of the Timely Rain Chamber of Commerce, Qi Ge?"

Adela's back was turned to Qi Ge, her voice was gentle and pleasant, like a virtuous wife who would put out the bath water for you every time you returned to the territory.

"Qi Ge, I'm curious. Why did you help the coachman?

Is it the guidance of angels or the bewitchment of demons? "

Adela also has the blessing of "Holy Spirit: Insight" and can see through lies.

According to Adela herself in her previous life, as long as she asked a question and the other person answered, there would be a voice behind the answer: truth or a lie.

This judgment standard is very harsh. Even if it is half-truth, it will be judged as a lie.

Therefore, you must be very careful when answering Adela's questions.

Qi Ge thought for a while and slowly spoke:

"It was my own judgment to help the coachman." (True)

Seemingly receiving an unexpected answer, Adela turned around and looked at Qi Ge.

She was wearing a brown nun's robe with a hood, hiding her face in the robe.

Qige, who is wearing a white cloak and a hood, looks like a couple.

"Can you tell me why you want to help him?"

It's time to test Qi Ge's skills.

"To save him." (True)

"If I don't help him, a member of the Holy Angel Church will soon come to him and transfer the debt he owes to the car dealership to the church." (True)

"Then, under the guidance of the church, he and his family will embark on the road of becoming pilgrims step by step." (Real)

"I am very convinced that his distraction was caused by the high priest of the church." (True)

“The jihad is going on at the front, and the rebellion of the legendary hero Sousa has emerged in the rear.

The Holy Angel Church does not have enough troops and needs more angels. "(reality)

"So, incidents like that of the coachman should be increasing recently." (Real)

"And I want to prevent this from happening." (True)

How to hide the truth from Adela's insightful eyes, Qi Ge has specially studied it.

The whole paragraph, every sentence is true, but together it is indeed a lie.

Listening to the whole passage together, it can be understood that Qi Ge is saving the coachman Luo Xiang from becoming a pilgrim.

But it's not.

Adela asked why Qige helped him.

Qige's answer was: "To save him."

This answer is true, but only half the answer. The full answer should be:

"To save him and get your attention."

The words that follow Qi Ge can be seen as the explanation of the sentence "to save him", but Qi Ge did not add any related words after the first sentence.

The Seven Doves cleverly used the gaps between words to gain insight into the time when the Holy Spirit informed Adela.

Use all true words to weave a lie.

He changed his image in Adela's mind to that of a pagan who was rebelling against the church's pilgrim system.

Adela once again heard an answer that was beyond her expectations, which made her even more interested in the person in front of her.

"I am a saint of the church, but you slander the church in front of me?

Do you think I will judge my own high priest because of your words?

You would rather risk being silenced by me to say this in front of me.

Could it be that you have strong opinions on the church's pilgrim system? "

This question must be answered carefully.

The pilgrim system is the core system of the Papal sect. The legendary hero Inheim relied on the merits of this system to complete his legendary road and become a legend.

Qi Ge thought for a while and said solemnly:

“In fact, I am not completely negative about the pilgrim system.

I have known for a long time that this world is neither black nor white, but a delicate gray. "

“From Erathia’s perspective, there is an approaching crisis in the realm of Chaos in the distance, and there are powerful enemies from Hell nearby.

There is nothing wrong with the Holy Angel Church expanding its military strength and trying to increase the output of the angel race.

The faith value that pilgrims can provide is more than ten times that of ordinary believers.

Make a hypothesis.

Under normal circumstances, it takes about 10,000 ordinary believers to pray non-stop for a week to awaken an angel.

If you switch to pilgrims, you only need 1,000.

Then, if 1,000 of the 10,000 believers are converted into pilgrims, the remaining 9,000 normal believers can work and live normally.

In this way, a large number of angels can be produced to ensure the strength of Erathia's military strength, without affecting the overall stability of Erathia. "

Adela was a little disappointed when she heard Qi Ge's words, but she didn't speak and waited quietly for Qi Ge to finish.

“From the perspective of the pilgrims themselves.

The vast majority of pilgrims are miserable people who have lost all their relatives in the holy war, or are the lowest class of Erathia who have been living in misery.

They are either disabled, old, weak, or grief-stricken. Even if they try their best, they may not be able to survive normally in Erathia.

Their own lives are full of pain, and even thinking is a torture for them.

In this case, after they transformed into pilgrims, they gave up thinking altogether.

They don't need to work, they don't need to think, they don't need to remember, they just need to pray and give themselves to the God in their hearts.

This may not be a blessing to them who are living in pain.

For me, giving up thinking and becoming a puppet who can only pray is something I cannot accept.

This does not mean that I will put my own feelings on them and think that they are also in pain.

Therefore, I will not criticize the church’s pilgrim system. "

Enough, again.

Adela was greatly disappointed. She was about to interrupt Qi Ge when suddenly Qi Ge raised his head slightly and changed the subject.

“But there is a premise for all this.

People who become pilgrims do so voluntarily, rather than being voluntarily designed and framed by some conspirators.

Otherwise, I can't turn a blind eye.

If you encounter it, you should always take care of it. "

Adela trembled while hiding in her brown nun's robe.

Everything Qige said is true.

She stared at the seven pigeons carefully, and the blessing of the Holy Spirit's insight allowed her to penetrate the pure white night shadow of the seven pigeons and see the appearance of the seven pigeons.

He's actually a half-elf!

Adela was even more surprised.

She thought she had met a like-minded human companion, but to her surprise, the other person turned out to be a half-elf!

He is a half-elf, why should he interfere with human affairs?

Did his father or mother become a pilgrim?

As her mind changed, Adela asked:

“This is the Church of Holy Angels.

The pilgrim system was established by the Church of Holy Angels, and I am a saint of the Church of Holy Angels.

Aren't you afraid that I will put you to death, heretic? "

"Not afraid."

Qi Ge smiled confidently.

"You are not only a saint of the Holy Angel Church, but also a saint of the people of Erathia."

"You are indispensable for the reason why Longgue Port City has not been converted into pilgrims on a large scale."

Adela stared at Qi Dove in shock.

The tone was not a guess, but an affirmation, and this sentence was also true.

It was as if he knew for sure that I was behind the plan to stop the church's pilgrim expansion.

When was I exposed? Who was exposed?

How much information does he know?

Will it affect my plans?

In just a short conversation, Adela's attitude towards Qi Ge went from curiosity, to disappointment, to expectation, to doubt, turning repeatedly, just like riding a roller coaster.

Her patience was also rising and falling, being rubbed repeatedly by Qi Ge.

Qi Ge saw that Adela suddenly stopped asking him any more questions, and knew that the heat was almost done and the main course had to be served.

Otherwise, some things can only be said in the dungeon.

"Holy Lady, I want to change the pilgrim system so that the people of Erathia will no longer suffer.

At the same time, there is a way to have the best of both worlds to ensure that the output of angels will not cause Erathia to lose the foundation of its country. "

Adela was about to arrest Qi Ge and interrogate her carefully, but was shocked by Qi Ge's words and stopped urgently.

What Qi Ge said was exactly the problem she had been unable to solve, and it was the core difficulty in her desire to reform the church.

She asked anxiously: "What can I do?"

Qi Ge noticed that her speaking speed had increased slightly and smiled knowingly. It was rare to see Adela in a hurry.

He didn’t dare to whet Adela’s appetite anymore and said quickly:

"All of this starts with the origin of angels."

“The Doctrine of the Church of Holy Angels begins.

The world loves God, and God loves the world.

But this doctrine is wrong.

Angels have no love or affection. They are not even living beings, but life forms of faith similar to machines. "

Adela's pupils trembled!

How could he know?

This is the core secret of the entire castle power. Even in the Holy Angel Church, there are only a few senior officials who know this secret!

“Angels are reinforcements summoned by Mother Goddess Asa from a world of order that is about to be destroyed.

In that world of order, there were also humans, but apart from their similar appearance, their abilities and civilization development routes were different from our Yasha world.

It was an idealistic world, where ideas powerful enough could change reality.

Human beings in that world have been invaded by hell for a long time, suffer a lot, and long for salvation.

Thus a genius of their world unified human thought in the form of the Church.

The powerful collective consciousness distorts reality, and "Cloud City" and "Angel" materialize from their thoughts.

Angels embody the most fundamental dreams of humans in that world.

They are powerful, can fly freely, can resurrect humans, are brave and fearless, are the mortal enemy of the forces of hell, and will kill demons when they see them.

The thoughts of creatures of faith are determined by believers.

Due to the power of faith, the most basic logic of action of the angels is to destroy hell and protect humans.

When the angels descended on the world of Yasha, they happened to see humans on the verge of extinction under the pressure of chaos, and subconsciously fought for the forces of humans.

And the humans in the world of Yasha also regarded the angels who descended from the void as gods who saved themselves. "

"But, when the strongest angel."

Seven Pigeons said, looking up at the statue behind Adela.

"But, when the strongest angel obtained the Tears of Yasha and established a force, everything changed.

High-level angels began to gradually have thoughts. They are no longer pure, and can even break away from the shackles of faith to a certain extent, and have a desire different from destroying hell and protecting humans.

Angels who have just awakened their own consciousness have only one object to learn from.

It is a pity that the object of study has both noble qualities and dirty desires. They are precisely the most complex creatures in the world of Yasha.

It is easy to learn bad things but difficult to learn good things.

After the first holy war between the castle and hell, the power of the castle gradually stabilized.

In the stability, the high-level angels soon became infected with the bad habits of humans and began to have desires.

They pursued enjoyment and even began to enslave humans in turn.

The high-level angels even wanted to transform the humans in the world of Yasha into their former creators - the idealistic human civilization.

And through the faith of the humans in the world of Yasha, they realized their own evolution and made their own strength stronger.

So, with the help of high-level angels, the church that believed in angels was naturally established.

But soon, the legendary heroes of mankind discovered that something was wrong with the angels. The earliest group of legendary heroes who were promoted in the first holy war established a king who could check and balance the power of the church.

In order to survive, human forces in the continent of Yasha also had to rely on the power of angels.

Angels believe in life. If there are not enough humans who believe in them, they will not be able to give birth to a new generation.

The interdependent and antagonistic relationship between angels and humans has continued until now. "

Every word is precious!

Adela couldn't control her expression and opened her thin lips slightly.

She had never thought that someone could analyze the relationship between humans and angels so thoroughly.

What Qi Ge said not only corresponded to what she knew, but also answered some of her questions.

Adela used all her strength to release her insight, trying to see through Qi Ge's true identity. She suspected that Qi Ge might be a demon, or a demigod hero who turned into a half-elf.

But no matter how you look at it, Qi Ge is just an ordinary half-elf hero, not even a master.

Adela was very shocked.

How did Qi Ge get so angry? How could anyone know this? It was as if he had penetrated the fog of history and told the truth in one sentence.

Qi Ge was sure that Adela should be completely stunned by him now.

Because the truth of these history was told to Qi Ge by Adela in person one year after the server was launched in the previous life.

The conversation between Qi Ge and Adela now was equivalent to Adela talking to Adela one year later.

That must have hit the softest and most sensitive part of her body, making Adela doubt her life.

Adela walked forward a few steps and closed the distance between Qi Ge and her.

"Where did you know this?"

Qi Ge shook his head and said:

"A beautiful and intelligent lady told me, sorry I can't tell you her name."

Lady? A lady who is so familiar with the church?

Adriel? Saiyan? Caitlin?

Several names flashed through Adela's mind quickly, but she ruled them out one by one.

"Who is she?!"

Qi Ge's expression was sad.

"The lady who told me this is no longer in this world. "

Qi Ge was talking about "the lady who told him about his past history", that is, Adela in the previous life. Adela in this life did not tell Qi Ge the truth about the angel.

So in Adela's insight, Qi Ge's words were judged to be true.

"Don't be perfunctory to me, tell me her name. Although I don't like to solve problems with force, it doesn't mean I can't."

Adela stared at Qi Ge and issued an ultimatum.

Seeing that he couldn't fool her anymore, Qi Ge thought quickly.

This question is not easy to answer, and he must find a way to divert Adela's attention.

"Saint Lady! It's bad!"

The nun at the front desk ran in laboriously. She covered her heavy conscience and shouted breathlessly: "The high priest is coming!"

ps: Thank you, leader Gu Diming Leimi!

The owed update is paid off.

But the hamster is so proud that he will put his hands on his waist.
