""The Technique of Chariot Ascension to the Sky"?" Gregory and Gottfried shouted in unison. Habiba was so frightened that he quickly looked around and found that many people were looking at them.
"Chariot Technique" is one of the mysterious documents of the ancient Abrahamic Church that Gottfried mentioned to Gregory in the cave. It is said to record a method that allows people to approach the infinite God.
Fortunately, none of the onlookers knew what the "Chariot Ascension Technique" was. They were just attracted by the sudden sound. After discovering that there was nothing special, they went back to their own business.
It's over.
"So Master, do you want to buy the "Chariot Ascension Technique"? You said that this auction will attract wealthy businessmen from all over the world, and you want to grab something from them? When did you become so rich?"
"You don't need so much money! "The Techniques of Chariots to the Sky" is just an insignificant thing in the auction list. Who knows its value except us? If you were a wealthy businessman, you would buy a copy without even hearing about it.
Is it an ancient book?"
"...So maybe you can get it at a low price?"
"That's right!" Habiba happily patted Gottfried on the shoulder, thought for a moment, patted Gregory on the shoulder again, and said, "Disciples, we will become archmages soon.
Got it!"
"Sorry to interrupt," Gregory reminded calmly, "Since the specifications of this auction can attract major wealthy businessmen, I'm afraid we may not be able to enter with our clothes. Each of you has better ones.
Clothes?"
"this……"
Habiba and Gottfried looked at each other, and then both turned their attention to Gregory. This time, before they could speak, Gregory said: "I don't have the habit of carrying a lot of money with me. All the money is
You just ran out of money when you ordered three roast chickens."
"Then..." Gottfried and Habiba both turned their attention to Ella, who looked like she was from a wealthy family. But Ella suddenly thought of something, held her head and shouted: "It's over! I
I thought I could make a lot of money selling radishes today, but I didn’t even have any money left! Even the money for the night’s accommodation was gone!”
"Accommodation? Oh, my God!" Habiba also held her head as if she suddenly remembered something, "I forgot, the bridge where I live was robbed today! We have to find it before night comes.
A new bridge opening!”
Looking at these unreliable three people, Gregory seemed to have given up and said: "Okay... I will take care of the accommodation tonight and prepare the clothes. You can follow me after you finish eating."
.”
Gregory took Ella and the others to a remote corner, where a small church stood. Looking at the religious site of the Abrahamic Orthodox Church in front of them, Habiba and Gottfried visibly hesitated.
Gregory deliberately tested them and asked: "What's wrong? Although you are members of the Ancient Abrahamic Church, you should worship the same God as the Abrahamic Orthodox Church. Is there any inconvenience?"
"Although it is the same God..." Gottfried hesitated, "but the Orthodox Church always puts a cross in the church with a strange person nailed on it, just like another god.
, it makes people feel..."
Habiba immediately covered Gottfried's mouth and said with a complacent smile: "What's the problem? Seek common ground while reserving differences. Do you understand - can we really stay here for one night? We really don't charge any money."
?”
Ella was also a little hesitant. She couldn't figure out the things about those gods, but the Abrahamic Orthodox Church was the state religion of the Empire after all. If she wanted to enter their religious sites or even stay overnight, she would have some resistance in her heart.
However, Gregory did not pay attention to Ella. Seeing that Habiba and the others did not object, Gregory stepped forward and knocked on the church door. A young nun came out of the church. Gregory bowed and said:
"We came here from the Duchy of Anglia to sell radishes. But the radish was crushed by someone else's carriage on the way. We are now penniless. I wonder if we can be accommodated here for one night?"
"Are you also a believer in our church?" The nun smiled, turned halfway, and said, "Come in."
"Wait, wait a minute, are we allowed to move in now?" Ella asked in disbelief, "Do we really have nothing on us? We really can't pay for the accommodation?"
"The Archbishop of Cologne always teaches us to cherish us believers as we cherish our brothers and sisters. Anyway, there are many rooms, so what does it matter if we just stay for one night? Everyone will be sleepy sometimes, come on, it just so happens that we are still there
There's some bread and porridge left."
Although the nun said this, Ella still had concerns in her heart. She walked at the end of the team, her eyes constantly looking around, searching for suspicious places. However, the suspicious place was not found, but a group of children came from the restaurant.
ran out. This group of children were boys and girls, old and young. The youngest looked to be only five or six years old, while the oldest looked to be fourteen or five years old. They greeted the nun one by one, and then
Under the leadership of the older child, we ran outside the church to play.
"These children are...?" Ella asked with some confusion.
"They are all poor children. The priest here picked them up one by one from the street and adopted them."
"That's really respectable."
In order to show respect, Gregory bowed to the nun. When he stood up, he realized that Ella had also bowed and just raised her head.
The nun really brought them bread and porridge. They had actually eaten three roast chickens, but Habiba still grabbed a piece of bread in one hand and gnawed it as if she had been hungry for three days. Ella hesitated.
After a while, she imitated Gottfried and Gregory and prayed before the meal. After praying, Ella picked up a piece of bread and took a bite carefully. The bread was soft and warm.
, no different from the bread she had eaten in the Seven Hills Empire.
After the meal, Habiba shouted that she wanted Gregory to understand the endless mysteries of Kabbalah, and pulled him into the room. Ella walked into another room under the leadership of the nun.
"You must be a native Alemanni, right?" Before walking into the door, Ella suddenly stopped and asked, "Why are you willing to pray to the gods of the Tianfang Empire?"
The nun shook her head: "It is not the god of the Tianfang Empire, we believe in the universal god."
"Universal God?" Ella repeated these four words one by one. Suddenly, Ella realized that she had said the wrong thing. Because those questions just revealed that she was not a believer of the Abrahamic Orthodox Church.
.
However, the nun didn't seem to mind very much and replied with a smile: "Yes, so I am also your god."
As she said that, she stretched out her hand and lightly drew a cross on Ella's forehead. Ella did not resist and waited blankly for the nun to finish drawing the cross.
