In the suburbs of Walsabak, the carnival party is coming to an end.
Chu Yuexi helped the shaky Alicia and sat down to rest away from the crowd.
Alicia was almost drunk. After sitting down, she snuggled on Chu Yuexi's shoulder like a child, with a touching blush hanging from the corners of her eyes.
The silver pendant slipped from the neckline of her dress, and Chu Yuexi couldn't help but take a second look.
It was a pair of stars and moons connected together, with rice ears and lion patterns engraved inside, as exquisite as a work of art.
"Are you interested in the Cult of Istar?"
A magnetic voice sounded to their left, and Chu Yuexi was slightly startled. She turned her head and saw Abraham, the host of the party, holding a tray in his hand. The tray contained several glasses filled with golden transparent liquid.
"Mr. Abraham, this is..." Chu Yuexi's eyes fell on the glasses filled with liquid. She noticed that the golden liquid in the glasses was very pure and did not look like wine.
"This is a functional drink launched by the medical and health food group invested by my family. It has many functions such as anti-aging, anti-fatigue, and immunity enhancement. It is worth mentioning that it also has the ability to sober up." Abraham said, taking one.
The cup was handed to Alicia, who was drunk and confused.
"Abraham, thank you... thank you..." Alicia seemed to have retained a little consciousness, squinting her eyes and recognizing Abraham.
"Be careful, hold on tight, Alicia." Seeing that she was very drunk, Abraham bent down very considerately.
Chu Yuexi hurriedly reached out to help hold the cup. She was worried that Alicia would spill the drink in the cup on herself if she lost her grip.
"Miss Chu, would you like a drink too?"
"Ah... no, no, thank you, I didn't drink." Chu Yuexi thanked her politely.
Abraham smiled and said: "Sobering up is just a side function."
"Thank you, but I'm used to only drinking boiled water." Chu Yuexi shook her head slightly.
"This is in line with my conservative stereotype of Easterners... Haha, just kidding." Abraham winked humorously and changed the subject: "Although I strongly recommend the products my family invests in, I don't
It's a habit that will barely offend others. If you want to try it, there are still many unopened boxes in the tent over there, so feel free to do so."
"Okay." Chu Yuexi replied politely.
Abraham nodded and turned around to "sell" elsewhere, but he turned back after taking a few steps: "I almost forgot the original topic, are you interested in the Istar sect?"
"How should I put it... It's not so much curiosity, but more like a desire to explore new things." Chu Yuexi thought for a while and then answered him seriously, "There are very few people in my hometown who believe in religion. To be honest,
The religious group I had the most contact with before this was the infamous Advent sect.”
Abraham couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "Strictly speaking, it is a cult terrorist organization. The Istar sect is not that extreme, and we are not a hierarchical and tightly organized group, and the sect will not interfere in the private lives of believers. To put it simply,
We are very secular."
"I heard from Alicia that your grandfather once served as the pope, and your family runs a huge industry locally. It seems that it is indeed very secular." After Chu Yuexi finished speaking, she felt a little uneasy. She didn't know
Could Abraham understand that he said this out of humor?
Soon, the raised corners of Abraham's mouth dispelled Chu Yuexi's worries, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the other party did not misunderstand her humor as sarcasm.
"Just like every renaissance city has its own characteristics, sects play a very important role in Warsabak. The Istar Foundation, which was spontaneously established by believers, provides strong support for the prosperity of this city.
"My family makes large donations to the foundation every year." Abraham seemed to be explaining his family's business and religious activities.
"Before coming to Walsabak, I had no idea of the prosperity here." Chu Yuexi laughed at herself, "Before that, I only knew that this was a renaissance city built in the desert, and I imagined that the people here were...
Not plagued by barrenness and drought.”
"When I studied abroad in other Fuxing cities in the past, most of my classmates thought so." Abraham shrugged helplessly, "In fact, many people's concepts of desert, sky or sea only remain at the level of very limited popular science knowledge and imagination.
Only when you really go deep into it can you have a real feeling, and this is actually the same for the Istar sect."
Chu Yuexi nodded and said jokingly: "Your eloquence is so good, it makes me fall in love with your religion."
"You might as well give it a try."
"No, no, I can't do it."
Abraham kept smiling and asked: "Can you tell me the reason? At least I don't think there is any conflict between believing in the Istar sect and advocating science."
"Because my boyfriend is a staunch atheist, I want to maintain a united front with him." Chu Yuexi had already prepared a plan and used Yu Zhesen as a shield.
"I see, I wonder if your boyfriend is also participating in the training camp with us? If it's convenient, I would also like to get to know him and make some friends." Abraham showed a very strong social cow attribute.
"No, he's not here, he's in Qidao City." Chu Yuexi's eyes showed a hint of loneliness, but she quickly regained her composure and said: "He doesn't need training, because he is already powerful enough. I'm here.
I also want to catch up with him as much as possible and not be left too far behind."
Abraham opened his mouth in surprise and confirmed to Chu Yuexi: "He works in the Qidao City Security Bureau?"
"Um."
"Then I may know who he is." Abraham's expression changed completely. "It is said that he was a heroic figure who almost single-handedly defeated the invasion of the Adventist sect. I really hope I can meet him for a while."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Alicia, who was leaning on Chu Yuexi's shoulder, suddenly woke up, sat up straight and shouted: "Who? Who are you talking about? Fight with your own strength
The invasion of Qidao City by the retreating sect? Which novel is this plot?"
"Alicia, this is not the plot of a novel." Abraham explained to her seriously. "Although it was not mentioned in the official summary, my family learned about the general process through some special information channels. The statement just now may
It's a slight exaggeration, but that man did defeat the two major imams that even the Security Bureau was afraid of."
Alicia turned to look at Chu Yuexi: "Chu, is this true?"
"Probably...it's true." Chu Yuexi smiled and pretended to be stupid. Although she knew that it was indeed Yu Zhesen's contribution, as a member of the Qidao City Security Bureau, it was important to have a unified voice with the outside world.
"Is he the person who contacted you on the phone at the beginning of the party? Please! Let me get to know him!" Alicia grabbed Chu Yuexi's shoulders and demanded strongly.
"Okay, if there is a chance..." Chu Yuexi couldn't resist, so she had to agree perfunctorily.
Abraham seemed to be very confident and said: "There will definitely be a chance. I think I will see it soon."
Alicia asked excitedly: "Really? How do you know? Could it be that he will come to Warsabak to perform a mission?"
Chu Yuexi was also curious why Abraham looked so confident, as if he already knew that Yu Zhesen was going to come here to perform a mission.
"There will be changes in the instructor team at the training base in the future. Two instructors are going to take leave for recuperation." Abraham lowered his voice and revealed the secrets he knew to them. "The replacement candidate will ultimately be decided by the General Administration, but we have suggestions here.
power.”
Alicia understood instantly and nudged Chu Yuexi with her elbow: "Did you hear that? Chu, you have a chance to reunite here!"
"Wait, what do you mean? I don't understand." Chu Yuexi didn't understand their plan.
"Hehe, with Abraham's influence, it will be easy for the instructors to choose your boyfriend when nominating substitutes!"
Chu Yuexi looked at Abraham in disbelief, and the latter raised his eyebrows slightly with a confident smile, as if to say, "That's it."
