"Then we won't disturb you from the meal..." The elder originally wanted to ask a few more questions, but now he has to stop. After all, it is too rude to disturb others' meals.

"After going to use early tomorrow, we will meet in front of the tavern, and then set off for Zanzarī Castle together." Before the elder stood up, he readily ordered two hundred Looni and placed it on the table. After leaving the deposit Alvin asked for, he led the young missionary out of the tavern.

If it were an ordinary wandering painter, no employer would be so stupid that he would pay so much deposit first. After all, no one could say whether this person would run away after taking the money. Obviously, this elder saw that Elvin and Onian had extraordinary appearance, were not simple in their identities, so he took out the money so safely.

"Look, there is no way out." Alvin said with a smile as he looked at the backs of the two of them, looking at their complacent, "I just said how could we two sleep on the streets."

"Don't say it, there are really people who are interested in what you draw." Onian said.

"You mean, you know how to appreciate it?" Alvin mocked.

Onian glanced at him and moved his knife and fork at the cross-legged leg in front of him.

To be honest, the mutton itself is good, which also stems from the fact that Bellama is close to the Traledi Mountains and has a high altitude. The goats nearby taste not much different from those produced on the plateau.

But the cooking method is a bit rough, the taste of ingredients such as onions, black pepper, and tomato sauce has not yet penetrated into the meat.

Diners like Alvin and Onian naturally taste the meat and you will know how much the chefs in this restaurant are. After all, there are too many good things I have eaten in the past.

So Alvin couldn't help but miss the exquisite restaurant that Saluhe specializes in roasted mutton.

"Actually, no matter how good the chef is, he can't cook the taste of his hometown." Alvin sighed, "So I am a man, I can't live without a beautiful girl, because even if the food is not delicious, I can still eat something with a beautiful look, so I won't be picky enough to starve to death."

Onion couldn't help laughing when he heard this, stuffing a piece of meat from her fork directly into Alvin's mouth, "Eat yours!"

But the cheap Tyrier wine was still good, at least better than Alvin imagined.

After dinner, it was a matter of stay.

There are actually rooms for rent on the second floor of this tavern, but because there are too many merchants coming and going, there are only one or two empty rooms left.

When Alvin and Onian saw that the room was clean, they were lazy to find a place to stay and decided to stay here for one night.

In fact, the two have lived in the same room more than once, in the beautiful carriage and the ambiguous airboat, so it’s nothing to live in a room. The key is that the Loonie in their hands must save some money.

But Alvin, who was lying on the sofa, did not expect that the sound insulation of the room was so poor. As soon as he entered the night, he clearly heard the "dongdong" sound of the bed board hitting the walls from both the left and right walls. Of course, there were also the moans one after another.

Alvin felt hot all over and couldn't fall asleep. So he would look at the jade man on the bed one or two times as he turned over, but he really couldn't beat Onian, so he had to give up the idea of ​​using strong ideas.

Onian just thought he knew nothing and looked through a map intently, thinking that he could not hear the noisy "roar" in his ears. The map depicts the distribution of towns hundreds of miles north of Bellama.

In fact, how could she not notice someone turning over again and again in annoyance? But she knew what this guy was thinking in her mind, so she just pretended not to see anything.

When Alvin stole a glance at her, she slowed down her blinking speed and looked at him with interest.

Alvin turned his back with anger and stopped looking at her. He knew that he was now like a bull on fire, and no matter what Onian did, it seemed to him to tease him.

"Since you don't plan to use strength, it's better to 'be pure without seeing your eyes'." He murmured in his heart, "If you look at it again, you really won't have to sleep."

But even though Alvin thought so, he still couldn't sleep well that night.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, the next morning, when the elders of the Universal Church came to pick up Alvin and the others in an open-air cargo carriage, they were shocked by his blindness and dark circles.

"Two Your Excellencies, I've been neglected," said the elder apologized, "We have only this kind of carriage."

In fact, except for the religious utensils piled in the carriage, it was quite neat, with the leather benches on both sides almost not even dust.

"Where is it good to have a car to sit on." Alvin said with a smile, "By the way, old man, I don't know what to call you yet. Yesterday you put the two stacks of Looney and left, and you weren't afraid that we would run away overnight?"

"Ria Tonare." The elder smiled and introduced himself, "I have seen people all my life, can I still be so clear? I don't believe that you will be the kind of person who ignores shame for just two hundred Luni."

"In the lower Alvin Ferrey, this is my wife." Alvin said with a smile, holding onto Onian's waist beside him.

Elder Ria owed to the two of them.

"Have you seen this for a lifetime? That's what I mean, Elder Ria, you were a priest in this church before?" Alvin asked.

"Yes, I have been a godfather in the universal religion for most of my life. Now I am old and retired. Now, I will come out to bring these young people with me now." The elder Ria said with a smile, and glanced at the "freckles" missionary beside him. "This is the youngest missionary in the church - Jio Wabner."

The young missionary lowered his head embarrassedly.

"The little guy is a little shy, so he sent him out to bid yesterday to train his courage." Elder Ria said.

"Yes, how can you go out to preach so much? "Alvin looked at Ji Ao scratching his head, and couldn't help feeling a little funny, "But he was quite brave yesterday."

Onian naturally knew that there was something in Alvin's words and said with a smile: "Stop bullying others, let's go."

Alvin smiled, "Okay, let's go."

"His Excellency Elvin, do you...have no luggage or something?" Elder Ria asked in surprise.

"No." Alvin said with a wry smile, then helped Onion to get on the carriage.

After sitting down, the retired priest Riya became more and more confused about the origins of these two young people.

In the joyful eyes of the people in the town of Bellama, this mysterious young man left the town in a truck from the universal church.

"How far is this Zanzanite city from Bellama?" Alvin was bored, sitting there looking through the map Onian was studying last night.

Onian used magic to pinch a light sun hat for herself, and the water marks rotated along the hat body, and the brim of the hat was rolled up counterclockwise. She looked at her half-rested on the back of the chair comfortably, turned around and looked at the scenery in the fields.

It was so comfortable that the refreshing wind blew on her cheeks.

"It will take about half a day to drive to the northwest." Elder Ria, who was sitting in the front driving seat, turned around and said.

"This map is so strange. Why are there so many dividing lines? Is this a national border?" Alvin looked at the map carefully and asked.

"Two Your Excellencies, let me ask you, where do you... come from? You probably aren't from here, are you?" Riya asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Alvin knew that he had said this just now, which would have caused Riya to ask questions, which was within his expectations, so he smiled and said, "Yes, we two came from the south and we were just a few of them. We really don't understand many things in the north at all."

"Oh..." Riala said with a long tail voice, "I said, it turns out that the two came from the south."

Then he introduced: "We are different from the south. There is only one big empire on the northern continent - the Fuwei Empire. However, there are dozens of priests of all sizes under the empire. You see that the chaotic dividing lines on the map are the borders between each priest."

"So many principalities, then... wouldn't we have to fight every day?" Alvin teased.

"Yes, Lord Alvin still understands it." Ria sighed, "No one is convinced by so many great masters. He often starts war with disagreement."

"Are there so many soldiers who can go to the front line?" asked Alvin. "I see many principalities looking at the map as big as sesame seeds. Can they draw people to fight?"

"If you can't get out of the army, then find a mercenary." Ria said, "Some principalities look small in territory, but they are quite rich."

"Let me see, the Zanzi city we are going to belong to the Principality of Burr. What is the situation with the Principality of Burr?" asked Alvin.

"The grand duke of the Principal of Bere is the Marquis of Eru," replied Ria. "The Marquis is an old man, and he has long lost the courage to use swords and guns. For his blessing, this Principal of Berere has not fought for several years."

"Then what principality do you... the church mainly develops in? Is it the Principality of Bere?" Alvin was embarrassed to realize that he didn't even know the name of the other church.

"We are the universal churches." The elder Ria smiled and reminded, "Our church actually has a certain number of teachers in every principality, and most cities in the north have churches and monasteries of the Church."

"What about the Holy World Church and the Xindu Cult? Do they have more church members than you? They have greater power?" Alvin had no scruples and asked such a cutting-edge question directly. After all, for people like him who have no faith, these are all things to talk about.

After pondering for a while, Riya said, "Although the Holy World Church has been declining over the years, the church is still the largest and the largest number of churches. For Xinwa Church, it is actually not much different from our church."

Alvin thought that when faced with such a problem, he would fight with him, saying something like "number of people is not the key, piety is what you want in the end" to fool him, but he did not expect that Ria generously admitted the status quo. What Ria said was quite similar to what the old shopkeeper of the tailor's shop described.

Alvin nodded, glad that Ria didn't say anything so high-sounding to disgust herself and ruined her interest along the way.
