Li Yi quickly understood what Koleim meant by color.
In his small dormitory, Li Yi saw an orange towel hanging outside the window. If it hadn't been for Colleim's reminder, he would never have thought that this towel looked ordinary and even exuded an indescribable smell.
The scented towel is actually the communication tool used by the Holy Land.
"You said this was a letter from Mao Zedong?" Li Yi pointed to the towel that exuded a strange smell and looked at Koleim in disbelief.
The current owner of the Wolong Tavern, the former gatekeeper of the Holy Land, and the unfathomable master Mr. Coleim heard this, and the corner of his mouth trembled unnaturally as he explained.
"Yes, that's right, but I also use it to wash my feet..."
Li Yi:...Are you going to put your foot-washing cloth on my head? What are you thinking about it?
Koleim has returned to normal from the initial embarrassment, his expression has not fluctuated at all, and he sounds plausibly.
"How do I know? I thought I wouldn't need this thing anymore. Besides, there aren't many customers here all year round. It's very difficult just to maintain the expenses. Don't I have to save some? Anyway, I don't need this thing every day, so buy less.
A foot-washing cloth saves a lot of money!”
Although he understood Li Yi's expression, Koleim was not half-hearted.
It's for you, not me, so it's none of my business.
...
Although he was helpless, he had to admit that what he said made sense. Li Yi had to hold back his nausea and was glad that he hadn't eaten yet, otherwise he would probably vomit.
However, before he could be happy for too long, Koleim, for some unknown reason, brought a large bowl of steaming buns and placed them in front of him.
"Let's eat something first. Writing Mao Xin relies on your own mental power, which consumes a lot of energy. Only when you are full can you feel energetic."
Li Yi endured the wafting smell, which was also mixed with the aroma of steamed buns, and his stomach churned.
It reminded him of some kind of mixture that only existed in trash heaps.
"Hey? What's wrong with you?" Koleim looked at Li Yi strangely, covering his mouth and running to the toilet, with a confused look on his face.
...
"You said Xiang Feiyu disappeared? What happened? Didn't she go to the Holy Land with you?" Li Yi's expression was a little solemn. He didn't expect that instead of good news from the Holy Land, there was news that he didn't expect.
bad news.
Missing?
Maria on the other end was silent when she heard Li Yi's question, and then slowly spoke after a while.
"I don't know if it counts as missing. You'll understand if you come over and take a look."
"Okay, wait for me." Li Yi didn't say much. Originally, he was preparing to leave for the Holy Land, but now he just accelerated the progress.
Dioius.
Holy place.
This city, located in the north of Dioas, actually occupies a small area, at most the size of a town. However, in the few days before winter comes every year, it is the most lively place in Dioas.
.
People come from all over Dios just to make a pilgrimage here.
It was the eve of winter, and Li Yi asked the question he had always wanted to ask.
"Why is it called the Holy Land?"
When Maria heard this, she smiled and said: "Because in the minds of the Dious people, the Holy Land is unique and does not need another name. As long as the Holy Land is mentioned, everyone will know where it is."
"Why?"
"Because the Holy Land is a symbol of the independence of Dioys, and it is the birthplace of the founder of Dioys." Maria obviously expected that Li Yi would have this question, and answered fluently.
"The King of Ice and Snow? The legendary god of Dioas?"
"It seems you have done a lot of homework." Maria smiled slightly.
"It's nothing. Tell me, what happened to Xiang Feiyu?" Li Yi said noncommittally. This was the reason why he left early.
Seeing Li Yi mention this, Maria's expression became serious and she pulled him: "You will know after I come and take a look."
After crossing Holy Land Street, we followed Maria into a magnificent cathedral. The noisy noise outside immediately disappeared and became much quieter.
A middle-aged woman wearing a black monk's robe was praying with her head down, muttering something in her mouth.
Seeing the inquiring look on Li Yi's face, Maria explained.
"That is the new gatekeeper of the Holy Land and a relative of mine, Aunt Moya, who succeeded her two years ago, but I am not familiar with her. You know, I went to the Eastern Satellite City three years ago."
Hearing that he was the newcomer's gatekeeper, Li Yi couldn't help but take another look at the woman who was bowing her head in prayer, and asked a question at the same time.
"By the way, what exactly does a janitor do? He seems to have a high status?"
"It is indeed very high. Although this title may seem like nothing, in fact, in the entire Holy Land, except for the great elder, the gatekeeper has the highest status. After all, in the tradition of Dioyus, the gatekeeper is the agent of the King of Ice and Snow in the human world.
What the gatekeeper said represents the will of the Ice and Snow King. Do you think his status is high?" Maria said with a trace of disdain on her face.
It's no wonder that she has experienced the dungeon world with Li Yi, so naturally she doesn't think there are any real gods, at most they are more powerful people.
Of course, she didn't dare to say this, as her aunt, the new caretaker, was still there.
"Maria, who is here?"
At this time, a deep mezzo-soprano voice reached the ears of the two of them. Li Yi's first reaction was that the gatekeeper was talking. However, when he looked over, he found that the other person still maintained the posture of bowing his head in prayer. Not only did he not have any trace of
With his movements, even the original prayer voice was louder, allowing him to hear the content of the prayer.
But these two voices are completely different voices!
"Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven."
"Give us this day our daily bread."
"Where there is darkness, sow light."
"Spread warmth in a place full of cold."
"...."
I don’t know why, but Li Yi was listening to it and was unconsciously intoxicated. The ordinary prayers from the woman’s mouth slowly came out of her mouth, as if there was magic, and it quickly infected him, like
A beautiful picture, and he was living a happy life in the beautiful picture painted by the other party...
...
No! Just when he was addicted to it and couldn't extricate himself, a cold snort in his heart suddenly broke this state, and Li Yi, who was addicted to it, also woke up.
"snort!"
"Huh?"
As Li Yi woke up, the janitor finally raised his head, glanced at Li Yi in surprise, and then looked at Maria, with a smile on his wrinkled face.
"Dear, why don't you introduce your friend?"
"Weren't you testing him just now?" Maria was shocked when she saw Li Yi's state and snorted dissatisfied.
She never expected that her aunt would give Li Yi a slap in the face the first time they met, and at the same time look at Li Yi apologetically.
Li Yi was not dissatisfied: "I think the gatekeeper also wants to test whether I am qualified to take care of this matter, right?"
"Oh?" The middle-aged woman was really surprised this time, and her originally calm facial expression finally changed.
"That's right. It seems that Maria's vision is really good. You can guess what my old lady is thinking. You're going to be terrible."
Li Yi smiled, took a deep breath, seemed to be trying to get rid of the soul-obsessing voice just now, and exhaled: "This is nothing, but you, it seems not good to use your powers when you come up, although I
I understand that you want to test whether I have the ability to take care of this matter, but what I want to say is that since this matter is related to my friend, I will take care of it regardless of my ability or not."
"Hey, that's interesting." The woman watched Li Yi finish his words, stared at him for a long time, and suddenly laughed strangely.
"In this case, I won't give in. Maria, you go and hang up the sign on the door, no pilgrims will be accepted today." The gatekeeper said the words in a low voice, but it had a loud and powerful feeling that did not allow for the slightest argument.
"Before I tell you about your friend's situation, I want to tell you a story. I wonder if you are willing to listen?"
"Is it related to his current situation?" Li Yi asked back.
The gatekeeper was startled for a moment, then smiled and said: "You can say that, after all, judging from his current condition, it is very similar to my ancient legend of Dious."
"By the way, I wonder if the gatekeeper knows a middle-aged man wearing a white coat pretending to be a doctor and wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses?" Li Yi stared at the gatekeeper and suddenly said this.
"Huh? Why do you ask? Should I know him?" The gatekeeper was surprised, as if he didn't expect Li Yi to suddenly ask her the reason for such an outburst.
"Oh, it's okay, just ask." Li Yi shook his head: "Tell me, of course it would be good to have clues."
"Then you should listen carefully. What I say next may overlap to a certain extent with what you will see later." The gatekeeper suddenly said this mysteriously.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Before Li Yi could react, he felt that the scene in front of him became blurry.
