"As you all know, you are all guests appointed by His Majesty Feir. Since our farewell in the Thalia Fields, Your Majesty has been sincerely looking forward to your visit and eager to have a sincere conversation with you.
Therefore, please allow me to apologize for my previous rudeness, and accept this sincere invitation to stay here for a while. After Your Majesty defeats her enemies, I will come to entertain you in person. I believe you will not be disappointed.
”
After saying that, Dickens put his palm on his abdomen, put his other hand behind his back, bent down slightly, and performed an elegant courtesy.
The expressions of shame that don't look like hypocrisy reflect the grace and self-cultivation that the classical aristocrats in the Middle Ages were proud of, making it impossible to find any fault with them.
At least, in Alice's eyes, he is definitely more like a noble than a certain Countess of the Valenhilde family.
"Really?" Neville sneered disdainfully: "Then I really appreciate your warm hospitality. We almost died here. But I think, if you are not the best among humans to greet guests from afar with gunfire,
As a matter of common etiquette, you'd better plant dahlias and phoenixes here, plant the tallest olive trees and fig trees, cover the meadow, hold up a parasol to block the moonlight, and put it on the table.
Chairs and tea sets, prepare desserts and cakes, and brew a pot of mellow Baishanbao black tea - so that I reluctantly recognize your sincerity, although night is not the best time to enjoy black tea, except for your pretentious posture.
The only flaw."
Look, real nobles are so troublesome, and they are also venomous, unforgiving, and like a shrew.
Alice thought so, but didn't dare to say it.
Dickens's smile did not change, he nodded in a gentlemanly manner, and replied: "This time we did not think carefully. If there is a next time, we will try our best to meet your needs. If you think it is boring to just wait here, I will
I’m also happy to chat with you, what do you think?”
"No need." Neville looked indifferent: "You and I have nothing to talk about."
Others probably feel the same way, and they also feel that the middle-aged gentleman in front of them is an extremely scary person. Although he always has a gentle smile on his face, he is actually more serious than the unsmiling Ronning Lavelle and others next to him.
The indifferent Christian Huygens was even more terrifying, like a dark night, too deep to be seen through, so everyone avoided his sight.
Ringer did not avoid it. His eyes met Dickens's. Just as he was about to shake his head to show that he had no interest in chatting, Alice pushed him from behind and encouraged him in a hurried tone: "Talk to him.
Talk to him! Come here to find out more information, and buy me some time so I can think of a way to escape!"
Only then did Lin Ge notice that the golden-haired maid had unknowingly shrunk into the middle of the crowd, letting others cover her movements with their bodies. She was taking off her game console from her belt, and at the same time facing Lin Ge and the other friends
Wink and hint to them not to look this way, and to disguise themselves so as not to reveal what they are doing. The sneaky look will leave people speechless at first sight.
Did she forget that there are robots from the Scales of Order in the sky who are watching? Any movement on the ground is clearly visible to them - but even if they notice Alice's little movements, they probably won't be able to understand what she is doing.
Well. All their actions depend on whether they capture abnormal magic fluctuations. However, Alice's SLP game console does not have the properties of a holy relic, so it will not emit any magic breath.
This itself is a natural disguise.
To be fair, Ringer didn't think she could come up with any reliable ideas. After all, the activated game cartridges seemed not suitable for the current situation. But he still decided to delay for some time - not for Alice.
Instead, I hope that Iyeta in the distance can notice the abnormality here early and drive the cloud whale to come for support. This may be the only feasible escape strategy.
So when his eyes met Dickens's, he did not avoid it, but hesitated. This hesitation was immediately discovered, and Dickens smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Ringer, do you have anything to say?" Ringer shook his head: "No."
"That's a pity - I have some questions that I'm very interested in and want to ask you for advice."
"What's the problem?"
Ringer was thinking as he answered, Alice asked herself to get some information from the other party, but it seemed that the other party didn't have the same idea?
Dickens was not in a hurry to ask, but instead looked at the young man in front of him with great interest. From the palms of his hands that were deliberately hidden in his sleeves, he could see the rough calluses and the slightly inconspicuous deformation of the knees of his legs. These were all
It’s a very striking feature.
On the issue of how to judge whether a person is a devout believer, Dickens considered himself quite experienced. After all, he had come into contact with many similar people. In the Western Continent, various sects have different deities due to the gods they believe in, the concepts they believe in, and the original intention of their birth...
... and other differences in various aspects often give rise to different religious cultures, which are complicated and difficult to summarize. The most typical symbols are the gestures, rituals and prayer words during prayer. Each set is extremely complicated and trivial.
As if not doing this is not enough to reflect your own unique style.
But generally speaking, there are two places that are exactly the same: First, the scriptures. Devout believers will always read the scriptures that record the words and miracles of God, and keep their contents in mind to warn themselves to always follow God’s teachings.
, do not make mistakes. Over time, the soft paper will wear calluses on their fingertips and palms. At first glance, they look like farmers who often work in the fields; the second is to kneel down, which is one of the most important religious rituals.
The most emphasized posture is intended to reflect the majesty and solemnity of the gods through the insignificance of the person when kneeling, to highlight the contrast between humbleness and holiness, and to psychologically put believers in a state of subjugation and dependence. It can be inferred from this that the more pious the person is.
Believers tend to kneel and pray longer. Therefore, their knees often have slight joint deformations compared with normal people. This does not affect daily actions, but in the eyes of experienced people, it is a matter of one glance.
Basis of identity.

So, judging from these two characteristics that Dickens observed, the temperament and personality of a devout believer in this young man named Ringer are actually already evident.
"I heard that you were originally a clergyman," Dickens asked. "Would you mind telling me about the sect to which you belong, and about the god you believe in, his teachings, and his ideas, who brought you together?"
What is the purpose of being under the same crown? Have you ever thought about these questions yourself? I think thinking about these will be of great benefit to your future path in life, even if it helps you to understand your own beliefs clearly.
Things."
His tone was meaningful. After hearing this, Saint Xalia immediately raised her head and glanced at Linger, her eyes silent and worried.
"I don't know." Ringer replied coldly: "I have never thought about these issues."
This answer is a bit perfunctory, but it is the answer from Ringer's heart. He has indeed never thought about these issues. After taking over Tianxin Church, he just did what his adoptive father did in the past, silently reading the scripture once a day and praying once in the morning or at night.
, just hold a seven-day ceremony every weekend. As for other things, they may be important to other people, but in this young man's life, they are just superfluous things.
After receiving such an answer, Dickens was not disappointed. He then asked: "I heard that devout believers will receive revelations of divine grace, which people in the religious world call divine revelations. Mr. Ringer, have you learned from this goddess?"
Have you received His revelations in your teachings? Has He guided you to a certain destined path? Will the things you are experiencing at this moment also be under His gaze and within His prophecies?
What?"
"I don't know."
"...What if I want to know the essence of your sect's scriptures?"
"Okay."
"For example?"
"Care for your family and unite your friends; be tolerant to others, forgive each other's mistakes, and tolerate each other's negligence; do not make unreasonable remarks about other people's faults, it is rude to criticize others behind their backs; only by correcting your mistakes when you know them, can you have a pure soul; and, early on
Go to bed early and get up early, and don't bring fatigue into the next day's life. In addition, there are many more. It is said that if you can firmly practice every word of the oracle in the scriptures, you can develop a flawless personality for yourself
.Would you like to continue listening, Mr. Dickens?"
"...No need, Mr. Ringer, let's change the topic. What were your actual considerations when you decided to accept the control of the "Religious Decree" and close the church?"
