Chapter 90 State Religion
Such bravery and disregard for one's own safety almost made Lu En unable to believe it.
"I have to go take a look." He muttered to himself and came down from the tall building.
This tall building is the lighthouse of this pier, and there is a lighthouse keeper underneath. Without exception, all monsters are doing this kind of work.
After descending to the bottom of the lighthouse, Lu En smiled and nodded at the monster guarding the lighthouse: "Thank you for your hard work. I feel a little embarrassed to force you to borrow this to see the scenery. Please accept this."
While talking, he took out some money.
Who knew that the monster waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, I'm just going up to see the scenery. How can I charge money?"
"You fought to liberate the monsters! It's not an exaggeration to say that he is our savior. There is really no need to be grateful for these small things, so don't keep them in mind."
Lu En said goodbye to the lighthouse keeper with a smile, and then set off on his way to the battlefield alone. He still wanted to ask the soldiers.
As he walked on the road, he murmured to himself: "Liberating the monsters...is it...? That's really great."
Liberating monsters? Tsk, you are looking down on human beings. These people from the magical Middle Ages actually know how to do cultural brainwashing? It has only been five years, and the effect is so scary. If it lasts for a generation... then what?
Isn’t it going to be a combination of harbors and harbors?
Heading to the battlefield again, an ordinary businessman pretended to accidentally bump into a soldier on the way.
So, he stepped forward to say hello and prepared to spend some money to express condolences.
After that, there was a scene where the soldiers and civilians were having fun. The soldiers refused to accept it, and some monster soldiers even said that protecting humans is what they should do. They are the subjects and soldiers of the empire, even if they are monsters.
Of course, Lu En agreed with a smile on his face. He wanted to continue asking something, but the army was so strict that he only stayed for less than two sentences before continuing to march in formation and return to the camp.
Lu En was left alone with a bag of pearls hanging around his waist, walking back to the port.
He was very familiar with this situation. The example in his memory was that on the European battlefields, Jewish soldiers were the bravest because they were a minority. In order to be recognized, even their compatriots were not merciless and had to give examples.
For example, during the Pacific battlefield, even though their property was confiscated and their relatives, friends and parents were thrown into concentration camps, Japanese American soldiers still bravely fought in the most dangerous war zone with the highest casualty rate...fighting to the death with their motherland.
If I want to continue to give examples, it is the phrase "Don't shoot, I am one of our own" on the Korean battlefield!
This is what they have to do if they want to continue living on the North American continent.
Lu En never thought that things would turn out like this, that the Holy Empire could actually achieve this step within five years... No, I'm afraid it was more than five years. They should have been planning this for a long time. This is definitely not the case.
It can be done in a few years. The Lord of the Four Seas Abyss should be a traitor and lackey supported by mankind. His existence is not an accident, but the product of the empire's in-depth planning and preparation for a long time. It only takes five years.
The previous wave broke out, completely expelling the Sea Clan, taking down the entire coast and establishing a transit base.
Thinking about these specific situations, he returned to the small port town.
After going around in a circle, most of the town is filled with residential buildings, hotels, and ship repair craftsmen's workshops. Most of the people here are travelers in a hurry, and most of the businessmen are like vendors, doing tourist business, setting up stalls to sell something.
Lu En searched for specialties and food for a long time, but could not find a bookstore.
So, he simply came to the only four-story building in this town besides the lighthouse. It was a small stone building that was rare to see on the seaside. It had a holy symbol engraved on it. From time to time, monsters or humans would enter and then come out, in twos and threes.
There are people coming and going, so it's not lively, but it's not deserted either.
This is a church, of course the official religion of the Holy Empire.
There is such a church in almost every town in the empire. When the empire expanded its territory, the first thing to be built everywhere was a military camp. After the military camp was completed, the next one must be a church. It can be said that the army with shining armor
and white-robed missionaries, iconic representatives of the empire.
In addition to preaching and appeasing the people, the church also plays a role in recording history. Missionaries and clergy in almost every place will record local history on parchment.
Among humans, only the Empire has this tradition. It is said that this is a tradition spread directly from the heavens. Quite a few heavenly creatures respect history very much. Preserving true and detailed historical materials seems to be a very important thing in their culture, and
The Empire, which viewed it as a faith and ally, also inherited this.
So, after reading about the local customs and customs, I asked some questions. I originally planned to go to the bookstore to look for it, but since there wasn’t even a bookstore, I decided to go to the church. There must be one in the church, but I didn’t know if I was willing to show it to myself.
Stepping into the church, this is not a grand cathedral. It can only be said to be an ordinary stone house with some stools and bookcases lined up inside. There are many religious classics on the bookcases.
The church in a small place does not have many clergymen. Basically, there is only one missionary and person in charge, and two or three monks found among the local believers to take care of the sundries. It is very simple and simple.
In addition, there were some people praying, but surprisingly, they were all monsters and not a single human being.
"If I remember correctly... this should be the religion of mankind." Lu En cursed, but he had already expected this situation. Religion must play a large part in such a cultural offensive.
.
His entrance attracted many eyes, and many monsters looked at him with surprise, reverence, and eagerness to try.
It's normal, after all, he is the only human here except the missionary, and in this town, humans will become the scenery of monsters.
Lu En didn't pay much attention to these glances, but walked straight towards the priest above.
He first took out one gold coin and five silver coins, both of which were imperial standard coins. They were very heavy. After pretending to pray silently, he put the money into the donation box.
The priest in charge of this church couldn't help smiling when he saw it. This is not a small sum of money.
Taking advantage of the other party's surprise, Lu En immediately walked up and said, "Hello, Your Excellency, Priest, my name is Ron. I used to be a merchant doing business between the Empire and Xingfeng. This is my first time to this port.
, I hope to receive God’s protection and blessing.”
"God will bless every believer. My child, you look very pious." The priest said.
Of course it's pious, that's a very heavy emperor's gold coin, four of them weigh a pound in total.
