He didn't look like an old man at all, but rather like Father Balin, Lin Qi's old acquaintance. Father Mai snatched the golden ticket from Lin Qi's hand like the wind, and looked at Qicai carefully in front of his eyes. He was incomparable.
Familiarly, he touched several special marking spots on the golden ticket with his fingers and carefully smelled the fragrance of the special ink on the golden ticket. He nodded with satisfaction and smiled at Lin Qi: "God will bless you!"
Lin Qi bowed deeply to Father Mai humbly and respectfully, and said respectfully: "The light of God shines on all of us."
Father Mai smiled even more happily. He took out a Holy Cross badge carved from old oak wood from his sleeve and handed it to Lin Qi. Lin Qi's eyes flashed. This one was only the size of a baby's head. The carver
The simple and thick badge exudes a strange light, as if there is some deep white light. From it, holding the badge in your hand, you can feel that it contains a not very strong, but extremely pure power.
There was a black silk thread on the badge. Lin Qi thought for a while and put the badge on his neck, and then bowed to Father Mai again to thank him. He felt the same aura of power from Father Mai as the white light on the badge.
It is obvious that this badge was handmade by Father Mai.
Father Mai may not be very strong, but he is obviously a person with firm faith. His divine power is weak, but the quality of his divine power is extremely high and extremely pure. The Holy Shiyu Badge from the hands of such a pious clergyman
, has various wonderful effects, Lin Qi naturally wants to wear it with him. At least seeing ghosts in the middle of the night is unlikely to happen to Lin Qi:
Father Mai smiled and put the golden ticket into his sleeve. He raised his hands and happily talked about household matters with Lin Qi and Enzo:
It's only a thousand gold coins. In Dun'erqi, those dandy boys might spend tens of thousands of gold coins on a meal or a spring night, but those who are the real leaders of wealthy aristocrats might spend a lot of money on a game of poker.
It costs hundreds of thousands of gold coins. But in a simple town like Wright Town, one thousand gold coins is a huge sum of money.
Not to mention other improvements, Father Mai's small church with civil structure in front of me will be completely renovated after the beginning of spring, from a not very strong civil structure to a complete stone structure, and the size will be at least three times larger.
The current church only has a prayer hall, a confessional hall and a small courtyard where Father Mai lives daily. But with these one thousand gold coins, the prayer hall can become larger and the confessional hall can be built more solemnly.
Some other functional buildings can also be added. Even the small courtyard of Father Mai's house can open up a few more rooms and accommodate more people.
Due to the expansion of the church, Father Mai can even apply to the upper church for three to five years of young clergy to move in. As a result, the influence of the church in Celet Town can be expanded several times, and the light of God can naturally shine on more people.
On the stupid people:
One thousand gold coins brought Father Mai and this church a great opportunity for development, so Father Mai did not hesitate to give Lin Qi Mai the Holy Cross badge that he had worn since he joined the church.
The priest didn't say it clearly, but there was no need for nonsense in his thoughts.
After chatting with Father Mai for a full ten minutes, Lin Qi and Enzo carried the suitcases and walked into the town. Father Mai looked at the two tall and straight backs with a smile, and rubbed his slightly red nose vigorously:
"Enzo, this little bad guy, has found a good friend. Well, God will bless you. Well, spring is here, so I need to find a team of reliable people to help me build a house!"
Holding six bottles of rum, Father Mai walked into the small church humming hymns. At this moment, Father Mai's heart was full of satisfaction and joy: it was only a thousand gold coins, and the other priest was so simple and simple.
As far as personnel are concerned, one thousand gold coins already leaves him with nothing else to ask for.
The size of Wright Town is neither small nor large. The entire town has a population of five to six thousand. There are more than 3,000 people living in the center of the town, and the other people are distributed in the surrounding hills, farmland, grasslands and forests. The center of the town
There are two streets that intersect perpendicularly, and this is the most prosperous place in Wright Town.
Walking inward along the street, Lin Qi and Enzo walked through the snow, and the rattling sound they made attracted the attention of residents on the roadside. From time to time, someone opened the window or opened the door and looked outside. Some people saw Enzo
, just said hello lightly, but some others greeted them warmly.
It can be seen that those people who are cold to Enzo and whose eyes are full of jealousy are those who live in a good environment, their houses have obviously been repaired, and their clothes are quite new;
The people who talked enthusiastically with Enzo were all people whose clothes were in tatters and obviously patched, and whose houses were small and shabby:
Soon a dozen middle-aged men and women gathered around Enzo. They greeted Enzo enthusiastically and asked him why he didn't go back to Wright Town for the New Year. There were even a few children with runny noses who hugged Enzo.
Zuo’s legs, um um ah ah, I don’t know what I’m talking about.
Enzo's usually serious and resolute face melted instantly. He hurriedly answered the middle-aged people's questions, and at the same time kept reaching out and caressing the heads of the children. He put the big box on his shoulder on the ground.
He took out the best ham and sausages and the fragrant wine and distributed them to these middle-aged people. He said generously: "Uncle, aunt, this is a little gift from me to you. Take it, take it."
Well, don’t you accept Enzo’s gift?”
The uncles and aunts didn’t show any pretense, they happily accepted Enzo’s gift: when Enzo took out a large bag of candy mixed with milk and cocoa powder from the big box, those who surrounded Enzo
The children all cheered. Enzo laughed and gave these candies to them. The children jumped for joy and cheered like crazy believers who had seen the arrival of the gods. The laughter instantly broke the tranquility of Wright Town.
.
Especially when Enzo took out a lot of silver coins and distributed these shining silver coins to the children, not only the children laughed, but the uncles and aunts also laughed with fear and joy: everyone's
Their faces were all red, they all felt extremely happy because of Enzo's generosity, but at the same time they also felt Yihe's uneasy shyness.
Enzo didn't give these children too much money. This was not the imperial capital, nor was it Dun Erjing. He only gave five silver coins to each child, but in Wright Town, five silver coins could also come in handy: If
Enzo gave them gold coins, but it would cause trouble for them.
There was endless laughter. Accompanied by everyone, Enzo visited the homes of the uncles and aunts who had given him food and clothes, one by one, and distributed the gifts he had brought to everyone.
