Chapter 41 Is it better to be as far away as possible?
On the 12th, although the temperature was still dropping, the weather was surprisingly sunny, making it a suitable day for an outing. Therefore, when Alice made such a suggestion, she was immediately rejected by Metien.
"What are you talking about, Sister Alice?" The little pink-haired girl looked at her with a strange look: "Aren't you going to witness the results of the negotiation today? If you want to go on an outing so much, how about waiting for the next time?" p>
"But," Alice grabbed her hair, raised her hair manually, and said casually, "will it really be that smooth? In my impression, this kind of negotiation usually takes many days, if both parties are obsessed with details.
, it’s not impossible to delay it for a year and a half. We can’t wait every day for such a long time, right?”
"You don't need to worry about that."
The person who answered her was not Metien, but Ringer who had just walked out of the church. After he checked the house and made sure that the gas valve and faucet were tightened properly, he planned to lock the door, but happened to hear Ellie's voice.
Si's words corrected her misunderstanding: "Negotiation is indeed a long process, but both parties have already negotiated everything in secret. Perhaps even the treaty has been signed, but they just chose to make it public at today's meeting.
."
"So that's it."
Alice's knowledge increased and she made an unexpected discovery: "You know so clearly, are you secretly paying attention to this matter?"
Ringer said with a cold face: "This is common sense."
After saying that, he lowered his head and locked the door, not wanting to talk to Alice any more.
The golden-haired maid curled her lips: Cold on the outside but hot on the inside, are you a tsundere? You should have withdrawn the version a long time ago!
After locking the door, Ringer took his sister and his maid to the No. 7 public transportation stop, but met a special person on the road.
An old woman with gray hair, gentle eyes and a kind smile, Mrs. Maggie.
She was setting up a stall on the roadside, selling a homemade drink called fragrant fruit tea and some snacks. When she saw Lin Ge passing by with two girls, she took the initiative to speak and said hello with a smile: "Good morning
,Pastor Ringo."
Then he moved his gaze behind Ringer: "Good morning, Metien, and Miss Alice. You look very energetic. Do you want to try the freshest fragrant fruit tea?"
"No need." Alice decisively refused, and also blamed her employer: "I have no money because Ringer doesn't pay me a salary!"
Mrs. Maggie smiled, thinking she was joking and not serious. In more than two weeks, the residents of Songshi Street basically got to know the maid from Tianxin Church and had a basic understanding of her, including her personality.
Weird thing.
Meridian also declined politely, because she had just finished breakfast and was afraid of having a stomachache.
Ringer said in a serious tone: "I am no longer the resident pastor of Tianxin Church, so you can change my name to Mrs. Maggie."
"Sorry." When Mrs. Maggie heard this, an apologetic expression appeared on her face: "It happened so suddenly that I always forget about it. Until now, I still can't believe that you really didn't plan to
Are you continuing to serve as the pastor of Tianxin Church, Mr. Linge?"
Ringer nodded lightly: "If nothing else happens."
Mrs. Maggie sighed: "That's a pity. The residents of our neighborhood all know that you are a good person, and so is Mr. Yangke."
Lin Ge was unmoved. Only when he heard his father's name, his eyes flickered slightly. At this time, Metien next to him interjected: "It doesn't matter. When the results of today's negotiations come out, the situation will definitely change."
It's getting better! When the time comes, Mrs. Maggie, you can continue to go to the church to pray to the goddess!"
Despite the incident of the interview, the little girl's attitude towards Mrs. Maggie has not changed at all. Perhaps Ringer's words played a role in making her believe that Mrs. Maggie accepted the interview for the sake of the church. Although the result was that she was taken advantage of.
However, that is also the fault of the user, and the good original intentions will not change because of this, right?
Mrs. Maggie smiled kindly: "Thank you, Metien, I will hope for it."
Alice, who was observing secretly, could not figure out why this kind and kind old woman in front of her was someone to be wary of in Ringer's mouth, and he could not believe every word she said. Such suspicions,
What position is it based on? As the pastor of the church, or simply as "Linge"?
Ringer didn't give her time to think it over, and reminded her lightly: "It's almost time, we should set off, Metien, and you, Miss Alice."
"Okay! Then, goodbye, Mrs. Maggie, I'll buy your fragrant fruit tea when I come back!"
Metien said goodbye politely. Just as the three of them were about to leave, Mrs. Maggie stopped Ringer and reminded him in a gentle tone: "Mr. Ringer, if you want to pass near the Municipal Square, it is best to
Be careful, there are a lot of people gathered there today, I heard the kids selling newspapers mentioned it."
A lot of people gathered near the Municipal Square? Is it because of the negotiations?
How did Mrs. Maggie know their destination?
Ringer was silent for a moment, and then said softly: "Thank you for the reminder."
After saying that, she turned around and left with her sister and maid. Mrs. Maggie kept looking at their backs until they disappeared around the corner of the street, and then she looked away. At this time, the kindness and kindness on her face had disappeared, and she remained
Yes, there is only a somewhat melancholy look, and perhaps a desolation immersed in memories.
"You are indeed a good boy, Pastor Ringe, and so is your father, Mr. Yang Ke." She whispered, as if talking to herself: "How great would it be if all good people could have good luck?"
"Alas."
A heavy sigh.

The Municipal Square is located in the center of the church district. To the east is the Tianxing District where the city hall is located. To the north is the Fischer District where aristocrats, wealthy businessmen and barristers live. To the south is St. Anton Street. The office building of the Municipal Parish Council is here among the vegetation.
The Church of the Healer looks across from the garden in the distance. After passing through the Municipal Square and walking another 300 meters, you can reach the Street of Saints, where you can see the seven-story Maintes Conference Building standing here like a silent giant.

Its shape adopts the classical Renaissance style, with large glass windows facing the street, a slightly convex structure at the corners, and the support surface is cleverly integrated into the decoration, making it easy for people to mistake it for a whole piece of glass.
As soon as the sun shines, it refracts thousands of rays of light, and the scene is spectacular.
It is the headquarters of Linville Business Union Federation, Securities Center, Financial Association, Accountants Association and other organizations. It is also rented to private individuals as an event venue and conference center. It has witnessed many thrilling events. There are also people
It is said that during the Hundred Years' War, Queen Victoria I honored Marshal Napoleon here. Therefore, it can be said to have a long history, not much worse than the floating ruins outside the city.
Today, it will usher in another negotiation worth remembering.
After getting off the steam train, Ringer asked Meridian and Alice to wait where they were. He took a look at Saints Street and found that the front of the Maintes Building was indeed crowded with people. In addition to carrying film cameras, he planned to do something.
Except for reporters who made big news, everyone else was dressed as ordinary citizens, holding various slogans in their hands and showing excitement.
Someone expressed his appeal concisely and concisely: "Bread, milk, and freedom of belief!"
There is a strong religious meaning: "The lambs will find their own gods!"
There are also direct personal attacks: "The "Religious Decree" is a piece of shit!"
It opened Ringer's eyes a lot.
He felt something was wrong and left the scene quietly. After returning to the Municipal Square, he told Metien and Alice about the situation. Then he frowned and thought: "How come there are so many people gathering?"
Alice said nonchalantly: "The "Religious Decree" is indeed too overbearing, so everyone comes to oppose it. Isn't this good? We must unite all the forces that can be united and fight to the end!"
She waved her fist, and Merdine next to her felt that what she said made sense, and nodded in agreement, like a little squirrel knocking pine cones.
The problem lies here.
As a continental policy, the "Religious Decree" can never be abolished, and even concessions are a luxury. In this case, the attitude of the religious organizations must be tough, so why are these people allowed to gather to demonstrate against it?
It feels like there are people pushing behind the scenes, and there are also people letting go.
As for the purpose?
How does Ringe know?
The only thing he knows is: no matter what the inside story is behind it, in short, the farther away, the better.
