Chapter 318 Me Too

In the evening, the high priest who returned home brought his youngest son. He had many children, but he only liked this youngest son, because the two looked the most similar.

It's a bit weird to say, but the looks of the children in front of the high priest are somewhat different from him. This kind of thing can't be said to be common, but it's not uncommon.

He did not investigate whether these sons were of his own blood. When the mothers of these children married, they brought a lot of wealth, power, and some intangible wealth that could not be directly marked.

He also helped him a lot when he competed with other brothers for the position of high priest, so he would pretend to be confused.

Only the youngest son resembled him the most, and he couldn't tell how he felt, at least he felt so, so he preferred the youngest son.

The youngest son of the high priest is only 17 years old. If the unmarried girl was not ashamed to throw herself into the river, this 17-year-old boy is now the father of a child.

From the point of view of the Nagalilians, this young man is quite handsome. He is not a fat man like members of the local prominent family. He is a little thinner, and he looks very energetic.

"Father, you are looking for me."

After removing the colorful bird feathers, various decorations, and the paint on the body, the high priest revealed his true face.

This is an old man who looks a little old. His face and arms are covered with tattoos, and his skin is a little drooping, making these tattoos unable to show what they want to express when they are pierced into the skin.

It also makes the High Priest look a little scary, and a little disgusting.

"Do you know Lynch?", the high priest looked at the youngest son and asked.

The young man nodded, "I know him, everyone is talking about him recently."

The high priest nodded noncommittally, "In two days, he will board the boat that leaves Nagalil and returns to the Bayle Federation. You and him will not go to Amélia, but to the Bayle Federation."

Originally, the high priest planned to arrange for his youngest son to go to the province of Ameria, and Gefra got the right to rule this area for 120 years, and it was time for major construction.

This is a great opportunity. Originally, the high priest planned to let his youngest son go to school and do business while carrying money. It would be best to be friends with local politicians—with his father, who is the high priest, as the background wall, he will Someone wants to be friends with a young man.

Regardless of whether the youngest son can come back to inherit his position and power, at least this is a way out, and he has even thought about it. If conditions permit, he will also establish a religion in the Ameria region.

The conflict of consciousness between the local people and the Gefra people made them need a "middleman" to reconcile the conflict. This is a good opportunity, and his youngest son has also made a lot of preparations for it.

Unexpectedly, Lynch's words made him change his mind - freedom of religion, freedom of belief.

Gefra is a monarchy country, and missionary work is subject to permission. Only with the consent of the ruler can missionary work be limited, which is different from the federation.

If the federation is really so free, he can let his youngest son become a high priest in the federation, that is the real way out.

It is much better to be rich, advanced, developed, and safe than to be an emperor in this place.

"But I heard that Lynch rejected Mr. Pretton's kindness..."

The high priest frowned and said in a harsh voice, "Remember, you are a child of Nagalil, not a child of Preton. Don't speak for him, and don't be afraid of him."

His attitude to a large extent represents the worries and resentment of the ruling class in Nagalil. The younger generation has begun to become more and more externalized under the influence of these outsiders.

Some of them can't even speak the native language of Nagalil fluently, but the international lingua franca is as fluent as their mother tongue.

Their attitudes towards life and society... are not quite like the locals. This is very worrying, worrying that their descendants will suddenly change from Nagalilians to "foreigners" one day.

The high priest felt a little irritated for no reason, "That's it. You are going to study this time. By the way, take a look at the environment over there. Lynch told me that religion and belief are very free there. If possible... "

The youngest son, who had no expression at first, had a bit of astonishment on his face, but it soon turned into an expression of surprise.

He is actually more interested in religion than in business.

Born in such a family, he knew very well that what money sometimes cannot do, God can do!

The news that the high priest asked his youngest son to leave with Lynch quickly spread through certain channels. When Mr. Pretton knew about it, he just smiled indifferently. He didn't take it seriously, and at the same time Also for the sake of the high priest, let people not embarrass him at sea.

The children of the provincial governor's family didn't dare to say such nonsense that they were not allowed to leave without paying the money. With the presence of the high priest, no one would dare to stop Lynch from leaving the country unless their father confronted them head-on.

For a small person, if a new round of collision between political power and theocracy is triggered, it will not be worth the loss for the whole society.

The matter seemed to subside in this way. A few days later, Lynch took a boatload of things, and a young man who was yearning for the outside world and was out of his father's sight for the first time, embarked on the return journey back to Baylor Federation.

……

"Why are there so many people?" The federal people who had just got off the cruise ship were a little surprised looking at the reporters on the port holding cameras. They asked each other if there were any foreign heads of state or dignitaries visiting.

As the Commonwealth became more involved internationally, state visits became more frequent and regular.

There is a new player on the table, and the old players must find out what this new friend thinks and whether there are any projects that can be cooperated.

In the past few years, the state visit, which was rarely seen once in a few years, has become a daily thing during this period. As soon as the prime minister of Guafra left, the foreign minister of the Federal Republic of Leins arrived. And there's a long list of diplomatic agendas.

This also surprised the people in the Federation, and at the same time increased the cohesion and confidence of the people.

In the words of Mr. President in his televised speech, "We are participating in more international decision-making, we are becoming more critical, our status is increasing, and the great rejuvenation of the Commonwealth is at hand...", listen It really boosts morale.

Although the current economic situation is still bad, it is not as invisible as it used to be. The emergence of some international orders has allowed some factories to resume work. These are good phenomena and make people realize the importance of integrating into the international community. sex.

Of course, all this further proves the error of the "escapism" approach. The former president is currently under deep investigation. It is said that Baylor's Federal National Security Council intends to prosecute the former president on charges of "dereliction of duty" and "obstructing national security".

The rapid and dramatic changes are so overwhelming that when people see these reporters after disembarking, the first thing they think of is that there are foreign dignitaries visiting.

Some people stay at the port and want to feel the pulse of the times at close range, but they are destined to be disappointed, but not necessarily lost—this sentence is wonderful.

As an inconspicuous small and medium-sized freighter slowly approached the port, the reporters immediately became excited, and some spectators rushed forward.

The first thing they saw were some big cages sent down from the freighter. The cameras of the reporters started flickering crazily, and people kept exclaiming, and some questions arose, what the hell is this?
"Is this a lion?" asked a fashionable lady in a sun hat, a long blue dress and a handbag, somewhat uncertain. "Its fur is so beautiful, it shines in the sun!"

The male partner around her was a little uncertain, "The lion's hair is much thicker than its own, and looking at the markings on its body, I think it may be a leopard."

"I've seen leopards, and leopards don't have those hairs!", the fashionable lady immediately disagreed.

The male partner was just about to refute, but seeing the persistence in the lady's eyes, and the fact that he had just finished a month-long abstinence period, he immediately gave in, "You're right, honey!"

The lady smiled very gracefully, "I knew I was right!"

More things are constantly being shipped off the ship, these are rarely seen in the Federation, including some furniture made of red blood wood - even the children have come with Lynch, it is not a sentence to cut down some worthless trees talk?
People are talking, talking about where these things come from, who they belong to, and why there are so many reporters.

At this time, the owner of these things was on the deck of the freighter.

"I feel it, Lynch..." The 17-year-old boy has already had a good relationship with Lynch after three days of getting along. At this time, he leaned on the side of the boat and raised his head slightly, breathing deeply.

The air quickly filled his lung lobes, which also made his somewhat thin body look swollen, "This is the taste of freedom. I never thought that the smell here is so sweet!"

He turned around and looked at Lynch with some surprise. There was no stench in the air that could not be dispelled so much that it needed a sachet to cover it. Maybe there was no other smell except the smell of the sea, but this was the first time for a teenager who went abroad That being said, it was enough of a surprise.

"I said, this is the best place in the world, you will fall in love with it!" Lynch's smile has always been contagious, and his age is not much older than the boy, so it is easy for the boy to agree his point of view.

"I think so now, Lynch!"
