Chapter 7 God and the Church

 "Isn't it true that I have bad luck?"

Shade was speculating about his chance encounter with Dr. Schneider just now. Fortunately, his stomach growled and brought him back to reality. As expected, the most important thing now is the commission.

With less than twelve hours left before the time travel, Shade must learn to endure hunger. If he travels to the forest, then he might have a chance to hunt. If it is a chaotic era, then there is also a chance to get food.

It just so happens that in such a big city with order, if you want to fill your stomach, you must abide by the order. Shade stood at the door of the newspaper office and looked at the club where "upper class people" were entering and exiting not far away, looking forward to the feeling of hunger passing. Fortunately, now he only needs

Standing in the fog and waiting, if he needs to pursue, he really has no choice.

"I've never heard of any time traveler going hungry."

He wanted to complain about his incompetence, but there was nothing he could do about the current situation. He could only hope that the lady would appear soon so that he could submit a report to his employer.

As he stood there thinking about something, someone handed him a leaflet, and Shade took it. When he looked up, he saw a smiling missionary with a round face, wearing a white sacrificial robe, with the church's Holy Spirit on his left chest.

emblem, with a black pendant hanging on his chest, handing out papers to a nearby crowd.

He lowered his head and looked at it. What was thrust into his hand was a church promotional material belonging to the "Church of War and Peace". When Shade was rummaging through the items in the house, he had learned about the state of faith 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 gods——

Father of Peace, also known as [God of War and Peace], whose holy emblem is a white dove with light gray wing tips;

Mr. Dawn, also known as [God of Light and Shadow], the holy symbol is a notched ring, brass color;

The Old Man with the Lamp, also known as [God of the Sun and Earth], has a golden sun pattern as his holy emblem;

Lady of Creation, also known as [God of Creation and Destruction], her holy symbol is a wrench, white and silver;

The Lord of All Things, also known as the "God of Nature and Evil Thoughts", has a holy emblem of two overlapping leaves, one withered yellow and one green. The old man who transported the body not long ago is a member of the Church of Nature.

"Huh? How come the priesthood promoted by the righteous gods is a relative concept?"

Thinking of this, Shade suddenly had more thoughts about the world. But the indescribable feelings could not be better expressed to himself. There seemed to be some kind of power in the blur, and a whisper rang in his ears:

【You feel the ‘miracle’.】

This time it is one of the four elements of "miracle". So far, Shade has been exposed to all except [blasphemy]. According to the information mentioned by the voice in his mind, it seems that only by touching the complete four elements can he have the ability to touch the mysterious push.

Qualifications for the Extraordinary Gate.

"It seems easier than I thought. It only took me half a day to get to three-quarters of it."

Then the woman's laughter sounded in my head again, and 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 the human kingdoms.

Churches have different strengths and weaknesses in different regions, and in the northern pearl city of Tobesk, five churches exist, and there is relatively "friendly" competition with each other.

Shade thought about these things, looked at the printed matter in his hand, and lamented that there was no need to "invent" the printing press himself. Although the printing quality was not very high, at least...

My eyes widened and I suddenly discovered important information. Most of the leaflets introduced the teachings of the Righteous God [Peaceful Father], and welcomed believers and pagans to go to the church to listen to weekly sermons and sermons.

The important thing is, at the bottom of the paper, it says that if you hold this flyer and queue up at the church door at 5:30 pm on weekends, you can receive free relief food. And it also says in a line of small words, no matter how long the queue is

, as long as you show up before six o'clock, you will definitely be able to get the number plate and receive the food.

Even if it was embarrassing to receive this kind of relief food, it at least let Shade know that he would definitely not die of hunger today. He touched his nose, wrote down the church address of the [War and Peace Church], and then put the ink in his hands quite solemnly.

The strong-smelling leaflet was folded and tucked into Mr. Hamilton's notepad.

I thanked the god quietly in my heart. Although the feeling of hunger still hasn't subsided, at least my mood is much better.

"Luck is actually not too bad."

Shade thought in his mind, knowing that once Mrs. Lasoya under investigation entered the club, she would not come out for 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 openly shout that you don’t trust God, it’s okay, but Shade is interested in understanding these so-called righteous gods. In the existence of faith

A world that knows nothing about these things would be even more dangerous.

He was still thinking about how to talk to the other party, but the missionary had already walked away. He felt very regretful, but he did not catch up, but continued to stand there and wait. After all, when he had a firm foothold, he would have plenty of time to understand all this.

.

There are actually quite a few people like him standing at the door of the newspaper office. Most of them are reporters waiting for new news, and a small number are idlers working for the newspaper office. Today is Saturday, even if the weather is foggy, Valente, as the main road,

The pedestrian street is very busy, so it is not surprising that so many people are standing here.

Although it is called a "pedestrian street", carriages are not prohibited from passing through. While observing the club, Shade looked at the pedestrians and carriages passing by. He thought this would help him integrate better here.

There is a burning smell in the air, which is of course haze. But the smell is not very strong, it is just the mist lingering in the air that becomes thicker and thicker as the sun moves from overhead to the west.

Shade was worried about his physical condition. In his wild thoughts, he saw another carriage parked in front of the club. He immediately raised his eyes and saw that it was Mr. Lawrence, the client's husband.

"It's interesting, an unexpected bonus."

He whispered, noted the current time, and wrote the information in his notebook.

The client, Mrs. Lawrence, was generous. If her husband and his lover were caught having a tryst at the club on the day the report was submitted, she might be able to get an extra reward.

"But it's also possible that an angry woman implicated me."

Shade was thinking wildly in his mind, hoping to see Mrs. Lasoya greeting Mr. Lawrence at the door of the club, but unfortunately Mr. Lawrence walked into the club by himself.

Even though he was a block away, Shade could see the smile and excitement on Mr. Lawrence's face. He definitely didn't come to the club to gamble at cards or drink tea.

"Good luck."

He said in his mind, shaking his head and recording Mr. Lawrence's outfit today in detail to prove the authenticity of his report.
