The slaves were fascinated by what they heard. Some were inspired and couldn't wait to say:

"But what do we do? What does it mean to be religious?"

Roger said like a stickman: "Listen to me and follow me."

But some people are confused: "You just say nice things, but aren't you like us, trapped here and unable to get out?"

Roger looked holy: "I came here because God is testing me, and God sent me to save you."

Others doubted: "What are you going to do to save us? If God is really as powerful as you say, why doesn't He just save us all?"

Roger copes with it easily: "Man must first save himself before he can be saved.

"God asked me to tell you this truth. When you understand it, that's when you will be saved."

But after all, there are still die-hards: "You talk so powerfully about God, I don't believe it. I only believe my eyes, unless I see..."

"what do you want to see?"

"I, I don't know either. Anyway, it must be something we can't do."

"Then I'll let you see what you want to see." Roger launched his ultimate move, "I declare that I will hold a mass in this mine to commemorate the sacrifice of Jesus."

"Mass!" someone exclaimed.

"Mass?" Some people were puzzled.

"This is impossible. How can we hold Mass here?" someone questioned.

But most of them don’t believe it: “This is absolutely impossible, we have nothing here.”

"Heller would never agree. He doesn't even acknowledge Jesus."

"Heller will stop you."

Roger was confident that "there is someone above me": "Jesus will ask Heller to help us."

Roger's words were just like "You are all monkeys" and made all the listeners stupid.

"This is impossible!" "Absolutely impossible!" "I don't believe it!"

Everyone looked at Roger as if he were a madman, including Dulles, who looked at him in surprise.

Roger and Dulles left the group of slaves and walked slowly toward the shack.

Along the way, Dulles was silent and thoughtful.

Finally Dulles couldn't hold it in any longer.

He stopped Roger and said: "I have also attended mass, many times.

“I thought carefully about the conditions needed to celebrate Mass.

"It's not difficult to decorate things like crosses. You can just pull some twine from our clothes and tie two crowbars on them.

“The most difficult thing about saying Mass is the complicated rituals and prayers.

"But since you are so confident, I guess this is not a problem for you. Am I right?"

"right."

"Then the most important thing is, 'Holy Blood and Holy Body'. What are you going to use to represent 'Holy Body'? Unleavened bread or leavened bread?"

"Anything is fine. It would be best if you can get unleavened bread. Otherwise, according to the custom of you Greeks, you can also use leavened bread. Use whatever you can get."

"Okay, this problem has been solved, so there is only one last question left.

“How do you get red wine or red grape juice that represents the blood of Jesus?

"Is that on the guards' supper?"

Roger: "No, they only have beer."

Dulles: "Beer is not allowed in Mass; red wine must be used."

Roger: "I know I have to use red wine, and I know where red wine is."

Dulles: "The only place I know of, Heller's cabin, is the only place that has red wine."

Roger: "It's on the shelf. Heller didn't hide it at all. His door wasn't locked. It was easily accessible."

Dulles: "Yes, the door is unlocked, the wine is not hidden, there is no defense at all, everyone knows it, but do you know why he is not on guard?

"Because he doesn't need it! No one dares to touch Heller's things, no one!

"Someone tried it before, do you know where he is?

"I can take you to see him, he's hanging there!"

Roger: "Poor guy, what did he do?"

Dulles: "Don't interrupt! I'm telling you, when Heller noticed the wine was missing, or was missing, or was watered down.

"He will certainly search the mines and torture those he suspects.

"Even if the two of us withstand the torture and don't say anything, how could you possibly hide it from him when you hold a mass and so many people drink wine?

"Don't tell me that Heller can't understand slaves. All he has to do is hold a wine bottle and wave his whip, and he will bring him in front of you and point at you.

"Then you'll be hung."

Roger: "Are you scared?"

Dulles: "I'm not afraid, I just think it's not worth it. After celebrating a mass and then dying, do you think you are Jesus?"

Roger: "Which one made him more angry, stealing Heller's property or holding him hostage?"

Dulles: "Stealing his property, of course."

Roger: "I think so too, so I didn't plan to steal it. I remember you had a wine bottle, and it turned out that there was the red wine that Heller rewarded you with."

Dulles: "So that's your plan, but it doesn't work.

"Let me tell you about the bottle of wine first. It was indeed rewarded to me by Heller.

"But you know what's in the bottle? It's spoiled wine!

"Heller liked to drink some wine every day, but he drank too little, and the wine went bad before he finished it.

"He thought it was worthless, so he rewarded it to me.

"When have you ever seen him reward others with things he wants to use?"

Roger thought that most of the wines in this era did not have anti-corrosion technology and would easily deteriorate if exposed to too much air.

The better you seal the bottle, the longer it will last.

Like Heller, who opens the bottle and pours a glass almost every day, the wine will naturally deteriorate quickly.

Roger said: "It's still wine if it goes bad. Those slaves have never drank wine, so who knows what it will taste like."

"No, I don't agree with you using spoiled wine to say mass. Such a mass is invalid, so I say your method won't work."

"If you don't tell me, I won't tell..."

"No, I cannot accept this because of my faith."

"Okay, okay, luckily I have a plan B. Let's put it this way, if I make Heller think the wine has gone bad, it actually hasn't..."

"I want to warn you, you can despise him, you can hate him, but you can't underestimate him. Heller is very smart and he is not easy to deceive."

Roger thought, of course I know that Jews are smart and have high IQs, but being smart doesn't mean they are not ignorant.

No matter how smart a child is, if he doesn't study hard, he will still fail the exam.

He said: "I know a way, and I can guarantee that Heller will not know. This way can make him think that the wine is bad, but it is not."

"are you sure?"

"yes, I'm sure."

"Okay, I'll bring all the Greeks to mass.

"However, I asked for a taste of the wine before Mass begins.

"If the wine is spoiled, I will take all the Greeks away."

Roger thought, okay, you bring a large group of people here, have a drink, and then leave with a large group of people.

All fools know that there is something wrong with this Mass. You are here to ruin my situation.

But Roger said, "Okay, I'll let you drink wine before mass.

"If you think it's spoiled, just take your people and leave.

"However, I can only guarantee that the wine will not deteriorate. I cannot guarantee that the wine will be good."
