As the chat progressed, the strangeness between Iger and Maria slowly disappeared.
Now of the two people in this office, one is no longer the shy nun who blushes when she says something, and the other is no longer the passionate young man who goes forward. However, both parties have become familiar with each other's changes, and they feel
Natural and friendly.
Maria sat there quietly listening to Egger talk about his magical experience. When she heard Dina say that Egger's body would never change, Maria stood up suddenly.
Seeing Maria standing up suddenly, Egger also said with some embarrassment: "Aha, I was a little surprised when I heard this, but compared with previous experiences, it is not that difficult to accept.
"
Egger’s previous experience.
Time travel, resurrection from the dead, magic shooting, telepathy, each of them breaks through the conventional cognition.
For Aige, after so many obstacles have been overcome, one more buff is not a big deal.
But for Maria, it was as if the last piece of the puzzle had been filled in and everything clicked.
Although Maria felt that all the clues pointed to Egg, after all, they involved the supreme revelation.
For such a big matter, she couldn't just draw conclusions based on her own subjective judgment. She needed more and more precise instructions.
Eternal life, this is the simplest miracle, and it is also the miracle that cannot be faked.
Maria stretched out her trembling hands to hold her heart that was about to beat out of her chest. Iger thought Maria was having a heart attack and quickly went up to help her.
Maria sat down with the help of Egger. She took a few breaths before pressing her soul back into her body, but her heart was already burning.
After that incident, Maria, feeling that she was no longer pure, took off her nun's robes.
It was not that the Lord had abandoned her, but that Mary believed that she was no longer qualified to serve the Lord.
However, the Lord reached out his hand and pulled me out of the mouth of hell.
"Amen." Maria said softly.
The Lord is with me.
…
Egger noticed something was wrong with Maria's state, "Are you okay?" Egger said to Maria with concern.
"I, I'm fine." Maria suddenly became shy. She didn't know what tone to use to speak to the person in front of her.
Don't be nervous, Maria, don't be nervous.
You are not the first person to know this secret. By the way, Father Locke, you should learn from his attitude.
"Huh, huh. Egg, uh." Maria found herself stuck. She didn't know what she wanted to say.
"Sorry, sorry. Just keep talking." Maria said to Iger. Now she needed time to calm down and adjust her mentality.
This is top secret information and cannot be disclosed to anyone.
The evil in this world is too powerful. Exposing the identity of the Holy Son prematurely will only bring danger to him.
When the Son came to the world for the first time, he was hunted as soon as he was born. In order to kill him, King Herod ordered the killing of all boys under the age of two in Bethlehem and its surrounding areas. Jesus and his mother fled to
Only Egypt escaped disaster.
However, after Jesus showed miracles as an adult, he was still assassinated by the chief priests and elders of the people. They sent troops to capture Jesus, nailed him to the cross with the robbers, and sent many people to watch Jesus' torture.
This kind of humiliation and pain was unbearable even for Jesus. He even kept shouting on the cross: "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
Although Jesus foresaw that he would suffer, he did not expect that he would actually be killed by a mortal.
When Jesus died, although he used his shed blood to atone for the sins of the world, it also interrupted Jesus' act of opening the door to heaven.
Finally, Jesus returned to heaven alone after his resurrection.
The Son is not immortal. Resurrection from the dead is a miracle, but it does not appear repeatedly.
The Son came again, and if He were killed again, it would be the sin of all mankind.
…
Egger didn't realize what kind of psychological changes had occurred in Maria at all. He still talked there alone for a long time. Finally, he took the organizing box and opened it.
"This is the treatment serum." Egg picked up a dose of treatment serum and said to Maria: "The treatment dose of this dose should be greater than the dose required to cure the blood plague, so in actual use, this tube can be used
The serum should be split. I suggest you split it into at least 2 parts. The specific dosage will require multiple attempts."
Later, Egg told Maria about the rules for the use of healing serum by the reclamation team, and he hoped that the gospel team would also use the same rules.
Because if the rules are used differently, a siphon effect will occur, leading to an unbalanced increase in the number of members of a certain team, which will have a negative impact on the development of the entire gospel team.
Finally, Egger finished speaking, but he found that Maria's expression seemed too calm.
this?
Doesn't she believe it?
Egg felt that his dignity had been challenged. He rolled up his sleeves and was ready to give Maria a personal explanation and give her an injection.
"Ege." Maria said slowly: "Let's not talk about the treatment serum for now. Come and take a look at this."
Maria finally calmed down and followed the previously arranged plan. The Holy Son was still too weak and he still needed to grow, which took time.
The Evangelical Church will be the Son, nay, the best refuge of Egg.
The identity of a priest will protect Iger very well. I hope that the evangelical church can follow his footsteps and grow with him. On the day when the Son of God awakens, the door to heaven will be opened to the world.
Maria got up and walked to her desk. She opened the drawer, took out a notebook from it, and then returned to Egger.
Later, Maria showed the notebook to Egger.
Egg's face turned red immediately.
This notebook was actually dug out, and his invisible earthworm character was placed in front of him like this. Ige felt that the current scene was a bit embarrassing.
If I had known better, I would have copied more neatly.
"Ige, do you know why Father Locke accepted you as his godson?" Maria said to Ige.
"Yeah." Egger didn't answer for a moment.
There may be too many reasons. Comfort yourself and control yourself to prevent yourself from becoming an unlearned bastard and a murderer who will do whatever you want.
etc.
Maria said to Egger: "Father Locke hopes that you can accept his legacy."
Egger naturally knows this.
Actually, Iger is no longer so attached to the position of chairman of the gospel team.
After seeing the broader world, no one will be jealous of the small pond in front of them.
This time is different from last time. This time, Iger really has no idea. The position of chairman means more responsibility to him.
Last time, Iger actually took retreat in order to advance, because he knew that his disadvantage was his age and his advantage was his ability to wait. Andy's advantage was his age, but his disadvantage was his affordability.
Time was on his side, so Iger chose to take a step back.
I just didn't expect that in just a few months, the huge workload would exhaust poor Andy to death. Thinking of this, Iger still felt a little guilty.
Andy and I had some problems with each other, and he even gave me a little trick. Although looking back now, it didn't cause much harm, at the time, I almost thought I couldn't get over this hurdle.
But no matter how you put it, Andy is not your enemy, he is just a highly competitive partner.
It's good that Maria can take over as chairman, at least she doesn't have to do it herself.
However, when Maria saw him, her first words were to ask him to accept the inheritance of Father Locke.
Well, it seems that Maria has no intention of doing this, so it’s time to take on her own responsibilities.
After taking a deep breath, Iger said to Maria: "Okay, I understand. I won't run away this time."
"Great." Maria said to Egger: "I'll finish the things at hand here first, and then we will go back to Ross Town together and hold a priest installation ceremony for you in the Evangelical Cathedral."
ah?
What?
Egger was stunned.
…
It turns out that Maria didn't want to be the chairman of the board, but wanted to be a priest.
What is this!
calm.
Egger started thinking quickly.
Egger's life experience taught him that if you think something is ridiculous, it's because you don't know the unknown secrets behind it.
When you know all the information, you will find that this matter is actually logical, coherent and reasonable.
Nothing in this world is without reason. Even if they are crazy and insane, they actually do things according to rules.
Now what Iger needs to think about is why Maria suddenly wants to become a priest, because this thing is so nonsense.
If this is really nonsense, it means that Iger has not understood the reason behind it.
Egger scratched his hair with his hands in confusion.
First of all, it must be ruled out that Mary wants to develop herself into the church.
Anyone who has been with Iger for a long time knows that this guy is at best a pan-believer, but in fact, he is not even a pan-believer. Many times his attitude is rather perfunctory, so perfunctory that others can even tell that he is perfunctory.
For people with such an attitude, even if Maria wanted to develop herself and join the church, she would not directly give her the position of priest, otherwise it would be too dark humor.
So, what is the hidden meaning behind this?
Egg thought for a moment, and Maria first took out a notebook, which was her own handwritten Bible.
Bible.
By the way, the relic left by Father Locke for himself was the Bible, which was given to him by Sister Allison. Maria took out the Bible and specifically mentioned that Father Locke was her godfather. These two things are related.
of.
Well, thinking about it this way, Egger has a clue.
When Father Locke accepted him as his godson before, he probably had a motive for it.
On the one hand, I want to use the name of the godfather to suppress myself, on the other hand, I also draw a big pie for myself. After a hundred years, this position will be yours.
Father Locke's approach to himself is a typical one with a stick and a carrot.
Vance said that Father Locke came from C1A. People from C1A don't even have this ability, so they are too incompetent.
By the way, Andy actually used similar methods.
Andy drew a line for himself: he was in charge, and I was in charge of outside.
It sounds like this is a clear division of labor, but in fact it is also a means of both win-win and prevention.
Andy and himself are in a competitive relationship, so clarifying the boundaries in this way can reduce the internal friction caused by misjudgment.
Therefore, it is not an accident that Andy and he have been at peace with each other for such a long time, but a tacit understanding that has been agreed upon for a long time.
Thinking about it conversely, as the chairman of the gospel team, it is really difficult to manage a subordinate who is as accomplished as he is, not weak in ability, and powerful.
As a past chairman, I have to find a way to trap myself.
What Maria said to herself today shows that she also wants to make a "three-part agreement" with herself. But what is she offering, and what is the agreement with me?
Iger sat there thinking deeply, but Maria did not interrupt his thinking and just looked at him quietly.
After all, becoming a priest will lead to a completely different life from now on.
If Iger agreed without thinking, Maria would think that Iger's answer was a bit unreliable.
This is the result of careful consideration and is a reliable reply.
Thinking of the strategy, Iger suddenly came up with an idea.
He remembered that several directors of Ross Town all mentioned that Sister Alison brought some members of the reclamation team to Quick Creek Town to serve as Maria's assistants.
This means that although Mary has taken off her monastic clothes, she is still the actual controller of the Evangelical Church so far.
The Evangelical Church takes root in Ross Town, which is its headquarters.
When Mary allowed herself to be the priest of the Evangelical Church, did she have the trust to entrust her most fundamental strength to your care?
Hey, it makes sense to think about it this way.
Didn't Xiao Guizi also serve as an abbot for several years at Xiao Xuanzi's request? This is called becoming a monk by decree.
Xiao Xuanzi knew that Xiao Guizi was going to become a fake monk.
Xiao Guizi also knew that she was going to be a fake monk.
Therefore, it is not important whether the monk is genuine or not. What is important is that Xiao Xuanzi entrusted his old monk to Xiao Guizi. This trust alone was something that Xiao Guizi could not refuse.
The situation today is the same. Maria didn't really want to be a priest, but it was a way for her to win over Egg.
Actually, there is nothing wrong with being a priest.
For a truly unbeliever like Iger, whether he is a priest, a priest, a monk, a Taoist priest or something else, it is nothing more than a profession.
There is nothing there, so where is the dust?
People who really see things through will not have any resistance to this kind of thing.
However, Egger still wanted to finally confirm what Maria meant. It would be bad if he understood it wrong.
Egg thought for a while, and he thought of a key point, so he raised his head and said to Maria: "You can also be a priest. After all, it is Father Locke's last wish. But I already have a fiancée, can I get married in the future?
?”
Maria was caught off guard by Egger's words. She didn't expect Egger to have such thoughts at all.
Maria struggled internally.
It's time to let go of some rules.
For some more important things, whether to get married or not is not the key thing.
Maria gritted her teeth, nodded to Iger and said, "If you reach the age of marriage, I will allow you to get married."
After hearing what Maria said, Ige was fine with it.
Sure enough, he was just going to be a fake, no, he was a real priest.
The exchange of interests is not shabby.
Egger breathed a long sigh of relief and said to Maria: "I am willing to serve as a priest of the Evangelical Church."
