Stepping on the blue stone bricks and walking in the spectacular church, Todd was finally able to see the world with his own eyes again.
A stone barrel vault is arranged above the long central hall. High side windows are distributed on both sides of the roof. The floor and walls are alternately paved with dark and light marble, and metal grilles.
There were carved stone screens, choir seats, wood carvings on the pulpit, and sculptures of the Holy Spirit. As he spun his feet and looked at everything around him, Todd was amazed. In his previous life, he never imagined that one day he would be able to travel to
Such a medieval world.
A monk in gray robe walked past him and cast a strange look.
His sight penetrated the large robes, and Todd saw the blood and organs in their chests. When the monks looked at their leader, Huggins, their hearts beat faster, and the steps beneath them became softer.
Get in a hurry.
Nervous? Fearful?
Returning his gaze to the man in front of him, Todd found that Huggins had a standard Slavic face, with a long head, a high forehead, low cheekbones, thin lips, a slightly protruding chin, and a tall figure.
Thin, pale, and with his neatly combed goatee tied into pigtails, the whole person does give people a fierce and inaccessible feeling.
But after getting along with him for a few days, Todd felt more and more that there was nothing scary about this man. His appearance was just superficial. Huggins was calm and thoughtful, but he had a cheerful personality and loved singing.
There is only one place that makes people a little concerned.
From the first encounter, Huggins wore a pair of leather gloves, and he was never seen taking them off during the trip.
Maybe it’s because of the wounds on my hands, or maybe it’s just out of habit...
It took more than an hour to walk around. Todd gradually learned about the place and era he was in through the introduction of the man along the way.
From the perspective of the degree of civilization development, the technological and cultural level of the world I traveled to was similar to that of medieval Europe at the end of the 12th and early 13th centuries in the previous life.
From a geographical perspective, according to the results of navigators and cartographers, the entire world is divided into a continent and several islands. The extreme north of the continent is covered with ice and snow all year round, and the rest of the land is covered by three horizontal and two vertical mountains, two large and three
The small lake is cut into several terrain regions: the archipelago region in the northwest, the plains region in the central west and southwest, the highlands and snowfields in the northeast, the desert region in the central east, and the grassland region in the southeast.
From the perspective of country distribution and religious regions, the central and western regions are composed of the Papal State and the Secular State, and believe in the Church of the Father. The place where Todd is located is the San Sidro Monastery next to the Silver Ring Kingdom in the western coastal area.
Speaking of San Sidlo Monastery, this building with a history of nearly a hundred years is a landmark building in Yuexi Plain. In order to commemorate the ascetic monk Sidro, the Silver Ring Kingdom built this monastery in 1031 of the Christian calendar.
The prototype. When it was first built, it was just a small gathering area for monks with only three buildings: a ceremonial classroom, a holy church, and a rest house. After several renovations and expansions over nearly a hundred years, the San Sidro Monastery expanded into one of the largest monasteries in the southwestern countries.
A well-known religious place.
Hundreds of monks gather here, adhering to hermit-like monasticism and yearning for inner peace and piety.
This is what Huggins told him.
But as the tour route went deeper and deeper into the monastery's basement, Todd began to doubt this statement more and more.
The dark and long corridor, the swaying and strange torches, the damp and black floor.
If no one had just walked through that bright and sacred place, no one would have imagined that this was like a passage in the catacombs, which happened to be built under the monastery.
The two of them reached the end of the corridor, and a door with shining metallic luster appeared in front of them.
These four sentences are engraved on the door.
"As it is within;"
"As it is outside;"
“As it is above;”
"As it is below."
Who came up with these four funny sentences?!
With his head full of questions, Todd followed the tall man into an underground chapel.
The sculpture of the Holy Father stands high at the top of the underground hall. Although its appearance is the same as that in the church, the dim firelight always gives him a different illusion.
Master Mairis stood on the high pulpit, and his clothes looked much more formal than before. He wore a distinctive trumpet-sleeved robe, with an inverted triangular pointed collar, and several stripes on his clothes and hat brim.
Decorated with raised patterns and sewn with gold and silver threads.
Below him, there were several benches, with three men and one woman sitting on them.
The moment Todd walked into the lobby, everyone focused their attention on him.
Todd, who was a little nervous and didn't know how to deal with himself, was pushed by someone behind him. Looking back, what he saw was the encouraging and approving smile on Huggins' big face.
Bracing his nerves and under the gaze of everyone, Todd walked up to Master Miles. Looking at the old man's warm smile, he always felt like he had entered a pyramid scheme by mistake.
"Today, we are gathered here to witness the joining of a new member."
"This child was born in a peasant family and has not received any church education, but he has unlocked the 'box of proverbs'..."
Someone in the audience made a surprised sound.
Master Miles looked at the audience's expressions with a bit of mischievousness. After the people's mood calmed down, he calmly revealed a bigger piece of news: "He came into contact with the 'Sutherland Relic'..."
"Oh my God!"
"What?!"
Several people screamed loudly, and some even kicked down the bench beneath them.
The old man raised his eyebrows, seemingly satisfied with everyone's reaction: "I declare that as a mutant, he is now officially a member of our family."
After waving to Todd, Master Miles motioned for Todd to follow him and walked among the people below.
The old man turned his palms upward and made a half-circle towards the men and women in front of him. Finally, he pointed at himself and said to Todd: "Child, as you can see, we are all aliens. What are aliens?"
Different from ordinary people, we have more or less abilities that ordinary people do not have. This is given to us by God.
Blessings and favors, but there are people in the world who are afraid because of ignorance. Because of fear, they develop hatred. They call us "the devil's posthumous children" and want to get rid of them. Therefore, the aliens can only be protected by uniting into a family and hiding their abilities.
Self...come to me and I will introduce you to your family..."
The two first stopped in front of a pair of middle-aged men and women who bowed and bowed. Master Melis said: "This is the Raglan couple. They run a bakery in the town and are also responsible for the material trade and food supply of the monastery.
.”
Looking at the middle-aged couple in front of him, who were about forty years old, short, fat, and kind-hearted, Todd followed the other's gesture and bowed. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Raglan took advantage of him not paying attention and started to squeeze it.
He grabbed Todd's cheek and looked at his teeth curiously.
"They say that even the bones of people who come into contact with the relics will turn into gold..."
Listening to his wife's meaningless words, Mr. Raglan quickly opened her hand and apologized to the boy in a hurry.
Master Miles rolled his eyes and led his followers to the tall, lanky man with a silly smile on his face, looking harmless to humans and animals.
Watching the other person stand up from his seat, Todd raised his head and opened his mouth in surprise.
Huggins was already tall in his mind, but compared with this tall, thin man who looked like a bamboo pole, he became a veritable dwarf.
Oh my god, 1.8 meters? No, this is probably closer to 2 meters.
"This is little Jerry. He just celebrated his eighteenth birthday the day before yesterday. He is a pious and kind-hearted child."
Hearing the old man's introduction, Todd was surprised again.
If you can grow like this at the age of eighteen, wouldn't it be possible to grow to the sky in a few years?
Moreover, listening to this name, Little Jerry... always makes people think of the omnipotent little mouse in "Tom and Jerry". The contrast is really great.
"That's Edgar..."
Todd looked over as he was told and saw the lonely figure of a thin boy in the corner of the lobby. His cold eyes looked a little uncomfortable.
"He is our messenger and the liaison between us." Master Miles looked around the lobby and asked: "Where are Marcos and the Black Sheep?"
Mrs. Raglan moved closer to Todd, who dodged her outstretched fat hand. The woman replied respectfully: "Marcos has gone to Fort Watch in the east. There is no news about him yet."
Edgar said coldly: "Black Sheep followed the circus to the next city to perform. Before she left, she said that compared to the boring days here in the monastery, she felt more comfortable there.
." After saying that, he turned around and disappeared into the aisle.
Hearing the melancholy sigh of the old man next to him, Todd suddenly felt that the brainwashing work of the MLM organization he had joined was not particularly bad...
