It’s another new day.
Arreeze rubbed his somewhat dry eyes.
That was probably the aftermath of the broken goggles while fishing yesterday.
In this country where the concept of heat is completely unrelated, autumn in other areas means that winter is coming.
The snow has already fallen to the ground:
Here, it is a more common embellishment on the earth than vegetation.
Of course, compared to the legendary town that stands on the frozen soil, this place is still "warm"
At least as a native of this area, Arreize doesn't feel that his hometown is that bad.
Although when the weather gets colder, the Internet will be affected, which is something that young people in this area complain about.
But who can say no to winter? "Huh"
Arreeze left the room enveloped by the warm fireplace and came to the bathroom located on the other side.
Because of the age of the house and the design concept at that time, it seemed a bit cold here.
The sharp change in temperature made Al Ruize subconsciously exhale a breath of hot hydrogen breath. At this moment, his body was obviously still missing the warm quilt.
"Patter"
In the bathroom, Arreeze simply rubbed his face.
Now that you have gotten up, you cannot spend every morning decadently. Although in the eyes of the older generation, it is already late.
After casually preparing some baked potatoes and bread, Alriz was just going to eat a little to cope with the situation today.
Because both his parents are away from home all year round, even as an older young man who has returned home, Alreze can live quite freely.
Arrezz sprinkles the roasted potatoes with a little more salt and pepper to give them more flavor.
Naturally, this is not a pure local traditional way of eating—but Alreze feels that as a young man, he must keep pace with the times.
So, after the food was prepared, Alreze began to pray. Faith may have some more solid meaning to the people in this area.
It may not be able to calm down the coldness of winter, but it can give people a little solace in every day covered by ice, snow and gloom.
At least in the difficult time that has passed, it did do this to a certain extent. Existence is reasonable.
Therefore, Alriz doesn't think it is strange to have faith.
Here, it is as sparse and ordinary as potatoes, and no one would find it strange. So after sorting it out, Alreze began to pray for his breakfast:
"O Merciful Holy Light"
He praised loudly.
In such a city, any prayer is acceptable - of course, as long as it is not too deviant and goes against people's social cognition
Otherwise, it will be incorporated into the concept of a cult.
Arreize feels that his beliefs are still very "orthodox".
Who can refuse the guidance of the Holy Light? Arrezer thought.
As mentioned in the introduction, almost most people in this place have their own beliefs. Alriz first followed his parents and believed in the local church.
But soon, Arreeze felt a headache about this:
It was more like a dinner party for relatives than a gathering of church members.
As Alreze, who is currently neither married nor single, it is inevitable that he will have to endure cross-civilization traditional performances from different regions in the same world.
As a result, Alriz came up with the idea of choosing another teacher.
In the process, Alriz gradually came into contact with a certain popular online game from the previous era. Among them, a concept that struck Alriz's eyes appeared.
holy light
Yes, in Alriz's opinion.
If a boy like him can refuse to wear a heroic full-body armor, then he is one of the very few.
And if a suit of armor plus the ability to shine, it would be absolutely perfect!
When those positive collections are intertwined, a concept with enough charm is born. No one can resist the temptation of raising a one-handed hammer jpg
Of course, we will learn more about it in the follow-up (this chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue)
After setting the relevant background, Alreze felt that he suddenly had a new understanding of the complex meaning of religion.
In Alrizer's view, a collection that is pure enough and has a strong concept can become the central anchor of a religion.
As for other things derived from it, they are just extensions, good or bad. For believers, they only need to pay attention to the concept as the anchor point.
As for the others?
In Alriz's view, even if it is so huge that it seems to have become an anchor, it is only a derivative of it after all.
Some people believe in an illusory savior, while others believe in transcendent gods. So belief in a purer concept is no different.
It’s just that it may be more materially meaningful because of the derivative of the former in reality.
But what's the use?
At least, Arreeze didn't think so.
He believed in the existence of the Holy Light, not because of anything extra derived from it, but because it was indeed filled with the vision he recognized.
Temporary, eternal, secular, sublime.
Holy light illuminates everything
Soon, Alriz completed his breakfast prayer.
Naturally, he did not pray to the Holy Light to give him food or anything like that, which in Alrezer's view was contrary to the anchor of the Holy Light.
It should make him commiserate about the availability of food and the days of hunger and cold.
Today, Alriz is going to volunteer in the community, which is also his pastime in his free time during the holiday.
The old pastor of the church always thought that he would be a good successor, but unfortunately Alriz was never interested in this.
Although the old pastor once said:
"Child, the priest doesn't always need to wear this robe. You can wear any clothes you like - yes, including armor."
However, after seeing his mother's unkind look, Alreze still felt that something was wrong. So he rejected the old pastor again.
Arreeze didn't feel that he was so special, although he also believed in the old priest. He was a kind elder.
It just looks a little thicker.
It seems that he once served in the military, but later retired and returned to his hometown to take over the once crumbling church.
This sounds like a legendary story, but the people in it are flesh and blood. Just like on the Internet, Alriz can always see people saying that everything is terrible.
But in life, it is difficult for Alreze to see such extreme situations:
Just like the once-embarrassed and remote town, it was not as bad and scary as the outside world rumored, and it was certainly not as warm and happy as it was.
Everything is always moving towards a beautiful vision
Even a little bit, crooked, like a drunken snail
Arriz believes that the meaning of human existence is to make the world a better place, even if it is just a little bit.
So, he suddenly wanted to go out.
Arreeze wrapped his coat tightly and pushed open the door, which was probably a little frozen.
In a country covered with ice and snow, the bright but not so warm sunshine is shining brightly there. It is an indescribable feeling, just like looking at the usual sunset after get off work suddenly, as if all of a sudden I can appreciate its slightly regretful beauty.
Arreeze subconsciously praised:
"Holy Light"
So, under the eaves of the winter morning when winter was approaching, Arreeze saw the fleeting faint light in the air.
