I'm really a crispy French

Priest Hogan rubbed his face against the "door" and then touched it with his hands. He finally opened his eyes a little wider: "Huh? This..." This is not my door, where is it?where am I?why am i hereI……

Priest Hogan's head gradually cleared up. He turned around and saw sitting side by side on the sofa, looking at his two children with big pure (chen) clean (mi) Wu (kan) flaws (xi) eyes .

"Goo!" Priest Hogan swallowed a mouthful of saliva: God of nature!Please give your people a burrow, let me get into it, and return to the natural cycle!

An hour later, Priest Hogan finished washing, finished breakfast, and prepared himself to forget the scene in the morning—although he still didn't dare to look directly at the two children, and didn't even dare to ask why he was in the entrance yesterday. Completely lost consciousness after the house...

Anyway, Reverend Hogan got down to business.

This is a series of mysterious incidents reported to the Church of the God of Nature half a month before the big explosion in the Iron Tree District.The first mysterious incident can be traced back to half a year ago. In the manor on the outskirts of Diller City, someone heard a smiling child knocking on the window or door in the middle of the night. The milk from the farmer's house and the sugar from the manor's kitchen disappeared. .

At that time, the manor thought it was a thief, but the thief was never found.Until four months ago, the three little girls disappeared suddenly. The adults searched for a day and a night. When they were about to give up, they found the little girls sleeping in the grain drying field.There are always people in the drying field, which can rule out the pranks of the girls themselves.

When they woke up, they didn't know that they had been missing for a long time. They just said that they met some children from other places, and everyone played hide-and-seek together, but they were too tired to play anymore, so they fell asleep. It's time to dry the grain.After the children came back, they rested for two days because of exhaustion, so nothing serious happened.

But since then, more and more children have disappeared, and the missing time has become longer and longer.Sometimes parents can hear their children's voices at home, but they just can't see them.Moreover, there is no "immunity" to this matter. If a child is lost once, it will be lost again next time, including the sons and daughters of the manor owner himself.

Regarding what happened during the lost period, they can only recall that they were playing with a child they didn't know, but no one could remember who the other party was and where they played.The children are also afraid, but they still disappear.The manor owner once sent away all the children under the age of ten in the manor, but the next day, these children lay neatly on the grain drying ground.

Even if the parents take the children away, stare at the children without blinking, hold them in their arms, and hold them tight, the parents will suddenly feel extremely sleepy, and when they wake up, the children gone...

The manor owner first asked the awakened one to deal with it.But the Awakened gathered the children together in the barn. One night passed, the farmers opened the barn, the children were sleeping, and the seven Awakened were still where they were yesterday, but six of them died in a miserable state. Beheaded in half, beheaded, burned to death, torn to pieces... The only one who survived, his eyes were dull, he didn't speak, he seemed to have become a fool, and within a few days he was also killed because he couldn't eat. I was starving to death.

The deaths of the adventurers further proved the danger and seriousness of the matter.The owner of the manor finally sought the help of the church, and the church reported the matter to the city hall of Dillier City, waiting for the gray hyena to solve it.

Later, the big bang happened, and the gray hyena suffered heavy losses. It is not known whether it will be able to resume its mission in the short term, and there is a serious crisis of trust between the city hall and the church. The church is not ready to wait for others to touch it, and decides to do it by itself up.

"Did you only find our church?" Leon asked curiously.

"Of course! If this kind of thing involves multiple churches, does the owner of the manor want to die?" Priest Hogan gritted his teeth and looked fierce.

"Master Hogan, please forgive my impoliteness. I also hope that you will not start purely from feelings. Please tell me, what kind of identity is our church in Diller City?"

"Our Church of the God of Nature is of course—" Priest Hogan is an upright person after all. He was impassioned at first, but he was soon discouraged. He sat there with his lips tightly pressed and thought for a while, "This is actually a pretty good idea." Complicated issues, first of all you have to know that the God of Nature is a new God, a god who was born at the end of the Fourth Epoch and the beginning of the Fifth Era. He is still very young, and his church is also very young. Although a person can There are multiple beliefs, but human energy is very limited, so the gods compete for believers."

"I understand this, so as a new god, will you be suppressed by the old god?" Leon said.

"Yes, and the priesthood of our God of Nature is very broad. He manages crops, weather, love, fertility, disease, and even death. Birth, old age, sickness and death in a person's life are included, because this is the cycle." He took a prayer posture, and it seemed that he was going to preach on the spot.

Subconscious mind: Come and believe me!You don't have to believe a hundred, or even ten!Just trust me is enough!I hit ten of them!

Leon: ...

Although the rationale is good and the words are true, but I always feel that if the subconscious mind can really transmit the sound, then he will be struck by lightning.

He and Eldi looked at each other. Although both of them wanted to complain a little, it is better to shut up and wait for this kind of question about faith.

"And in our Church of the God of Nature, baptism, healing, blessing, and funeral are all very cheap! Very cheap!" Priest Hogan widened his eyes and looked at the two boys, who had changed from missionary to Promoted, "But in recent years, those big cities don't know why there has been a trend of seeing doctors, saying that God's grace should not be wasted, thinking that we don't know that it is suppressing our cheap churches?!"

"I feel that Archbishop Herta is very prestigious, but our Church of the God of Nature is not very prestigious?" Leon asked tentatively. After all, saying something bad about the church is likely to anger Priest Hogan.

Priest Hogan first shouted excitedly with his real arms: "The Archbishop of Herta is the most capable demigod in Diller City, and of course he has the highest prestige!"

Subconscious: =. = Let me say one hits ten, right?

Priest Hogan became sluggish again: "But our Church of the God of Nature has fewer and fewer believers over the years, and the upper-class believers dislike us for having the nickname 'Cheap Church'... Let me know who came up with this nickname, I want it Get his balls off! Shove him in the ass!"

"..." Leon and Eldy continued to be well-behaved. Faith really turned a little white rabbit into a big bad wolf.

Priest Hogan also realized that he shouldn't swear in front of the two children. He blushed a little, but quickly continued: "The number of believers in the lower class is also decreasing...at least in Diller City. Just to be able to have a place to sleep, or get a free piece of food every Sunday."

"Tell us about the relationship between the Church of the God of Nature and other churches," Eldy said, "in case we go out and do something inappropriate."

"Of course!" Priest Hogan was excited again, "Let's talk about the bad first. Among the gods who are in an absolutely hostile relationship with the God of Nature, the first one is the Mother Earth. Absolute hostility, do you know what it means?"

Just as Leon was about to shake his head, Eldy leaned into his ear and said, "Believers will spit at each other when they see it, and priests must fight each other face to face. Two gods will never appear in the same place."

"Yes!" Priest Hogan nodded.

"But isn't the God of Nature just absolutely hostile to the Mother Earth?" Eldi's green eyes flashed with curiosity.

Leon also raised his hand: "I know this too, but I've always wondered why the God of Nature and the Mother Earth disagree?"

"Yes, besides the Mother Earth, there are also the God of Drought and the God of Calamity." He looked at Leon again, "At the beginning of the birth of the God of Nature, we were in harmony with the Church of the Mother Earth, There was cooperation with each other. But later, for some reason, the Mother Earth not only refused to cooperate with the God of Nature, but even deliberately used earthquakes, mudslides, and landslides to interfere with the cycle of nature. The God of Nature had no choice but to fight back, changing the spring and summer The cycle of autumn and winter and the rainy season has flooded the earth and eroded it by the wind, so our two sides have become absolute enemies."

"Wouldn't that have an effect on each other?" Leon asked.

"It doesn't matter. After all, the Mother Earth is the earth. This god doesn't care what grows on the earth, whether the soil is fertile or barren, or whether life is born on it. But what the God of Nature doesn't care about is the earth itself. Even if The earth is eroded by magma, covered by ice and snow, and submerged by oceans and lakes, which is also a natural cycle."

So the root cause is still the private affairs of the gods, and it has been going on for a long time, and it is difficult for a mortal to know.

"As for the hostility between the God of Drought and the God of Calamity, although these two gods are righteous gods, to ordinary people, they are almost the same as evil gods. This is not our discrimination against priesthood. After all, the God of Frozen, God of Storms Gods, Gods of Pests, Gods of Plague, and other gods with disaster attributes have better reputations than them, and we are not absolutely hostile to them. Only these two gods are too irritable and unrestrained , and often do things that affect the normal cycle of nature."

Leon asked: "So, how to divide the righteous gods and evil gods?"

"See if they devour souls. Those who devour and distort living beings, no matter how they decorate their faces, are evil gods. Those who lead souls into the underworld, no matter how many lives they kill, are righteous gods. Therefore, the God of Death and the God of Plague are righteous gods." , but like Mr. Repair and Ms. Baoying, they are all evil gods."

The two evil characters that Leon had never heard of, their names sounded very harmless to humans and animals.

"As for the gods who have a good relationship, our God of Nature has a good relationship with the God of Water, and there are two Gods of the Moon...Of course, we also have a good relationship with the God of Light." Speaking of the God of Light, Priest Hogan The corner of his mouth curled up in particular reluctance.

Leon suddenly remembered the last time Priest Hogan told him that the God of Light was the god of homosexuality...I always felt that Priest Hogan liked to gossip, especially the way the gods gossip. It can be regarded as compelling gossip.

"Is there any problem with the God of Light?" Eldy also asked, judging from his curious eyes, everyone likes to hear gossip.

Hogan rolled his eyes, shrunk his neck to cover his mouth, and said in a low voice: "I tell you...the God of Light and the God of Sun are actually pursuing the God of Nature, but neither of our gods agreed. The two gods who always boast that they are bright and dignified are actually very... ahem! In short, the Sun God and our God of Nature had conflicts, and of course the churches on both sides also had conflicts. The God of Light kept his face down, really... "

It turns out that God not only has gossip, but also love triangles.

etc!The God of Light is the God of gays, so doesn't that mean that the God of Nature is also a man?In other words, Leon still doesn't know whether the God of Nature is male or female.

"The God of Nature is a man?"

"The God of Nature is similar to the God of Flowers and Trees. It has both masculine and feminine characteristics. It is both male and female. It cannot be judged simply by men and women." Priest Hogan made a gesture of praying to God, and his expression finally broke away. For the vulgar taste of gossip...

Leon nodded, bisexual.

"Ahem! Let's get back to the topic, remember that Captain Morifio? He will lead people to act with us this time, and now we are waiting for you to decide when to start."

"Of course...it can start anytime."

It can start at any time, which means that they boarded the carriage and set off early the next morning.However, Captain Morifio did not bring the Cycle Knight with them.

"You are too conspicuous." Leon said, "You can tell that you are going to cause trouble. You will only increase the difficulty and danger of the mission. After all, so far, no children in this mysterious incident have been injured. On the contrary, adults cannot guarantee safety."

Even though there are many mixed races in Dillier City, the mixed races are divided into classes.Half-demons, half-dwarves, and various orc hybrids are all low-level.But the half-elves are different. The elves are one of the traditional overlords of the earthly world. The dwarves have once been subjugated, and the elves have been suppressed to the depths of the Great Green Sea at most. With the power, he will definitely retaliate.In the recorded history of the world, there are so many lost human empires that cannot be counted on one hand.

The elves are proud, proud of their bloodlines, and value appearance and family affection.And there is another characteristic of elves, that is, elves can decide whether to ovulate X, and they must be in a normal state of mind. Exception?After all, there are no absolutes in the world, and people's greed will make them burst out with amazing wisdom.

Morifeo, a half-elf with a strong elven blood, can walk freely in human cities safely and unharmed. Either he is an official figure sent by the elves to Diller City, or he is a knight serving a certain god. exception.Like the fairy magic/archer teammate in the legend, that only exists in the story.

Morifio was not a stickler, and he agreed to postpone his trip to the scene of the accident for two days. .

——Jerome Manor, this is not a big manor, it is too close to the city of Diller, there is no beautiful scenery, and there are even few trees. It is not so much a manor as it is a large farm.

However, if this is a large manor in the outer suburbs, belonging to a certain big man, and every summer and autumn, a large group of rich people will go to the manor to hunt and hold banquets, then it is not the God of Nature's turn.

This is reality~

They were still in Marcos’ carriage, and they were supposed to send people to him and then go back, but Marcos asked when they would come back, and after getting Leon’s answer of “I don’t know”, he expressed his willingness to stay in the manor as a The attendants serve them, and when the matter is settled, send them away.Even though Leon explained the seriousness of the matter to him, he was still unafraid.

"This is for the Church of the God of Nature. If he dies, the church will of course give his wife and children a generous pension. If he dies, he will be able to get enough compensation." On the carriage, Eldi he explained.

"In the city of Diller, the living conditions of the poor rank high in the entire Muller Federation?"

"Correct."

This is almost the state of "the people are not afraid of death, why are they afraid of death", and it is still good?

"So how does it compare to other countries?"

"I don't know. My family has never noticed it, let alone talked about it." Eldy shook his head, so the two children looked at Father Hogan together. He was holding a book and was reading desperately, like a big exam Like former students.

"Ah? What?"

"How are the living conditions of the poor in the surrounding countries? Is it better or worse than Diller City?"

"I can't give a definite answer. After all, I haven't been to other countries. I can only tell you... a large part of those who went to Dillier City to work as workers are farmers from the Cairns Empire next door."

"The Keynesian Empire is the country with the highest military strength now?"

"It is very powerful. It has a powerful military force that is unmatched by other countries. Their military treatment is very high, the awakened people's treatment is very high, and the nobles' treatment is very high, but their country's tax policy is very strict. For example, the Cairns Empire Farmers at the bottom, even if they don’t have land, have to pay farming tax, in addition to drinking water tax, breathing tax, sleeping tax, and even defecation tax.”

"The people have to pay so much tax, but it's still the strongest country?" Leon couldn't understand.

"This is the tax that ordinary people have to pay. For a country, ordinary people are not that important, unlike gods. Gods need faith. The belief of ordinary people in difficulties is stronger than that of wealthy awakened people. And , The stability and strict laws of the Cairns Empire are unmatched by other countries, and there are the fewest robbers and dangerous monsters in their borders, which is even unmatched by our country.”

After thinking about it, Leon nodded.

This situation is actually equivalent to the political power emerging from the pole of the wooden warehouse, but the wooden warehouse in another world is a living person and an awakened person.It doesn't make sense in another world that water can carry a boat or overturn it. As long as you master the awakened ones and have a good relationship with the church, the imperial power will be stable.Ordinary people can't survive?Then die.Don't want to fight to the death?The same is dead...

Leon saw Eldy lower his head, looking a little depressed, but this was in the carriage, and there was a big outsider like Priest Hogan, so he kept silent for the time being.

The owner of Jerome Manor, Mr. Jerome, specially took his eldest son to the intersection of the manor to meet them. This is a thin old man with red eyes, chapped lips, dirty beard and dirty clothes. It's not very decent, it seems that I haven't been able to take care of myself for a while.His son was like him, but much younger.

Priest Hogan signaled Mr. Jerome to get into the carriage to chat. Mr. Jerome found that Priest Hogan was only wearing a priest's uniform. He couldn't help showing a little disappointment, but when he saw Leon and Eldy, his disappointment turned into Angry, he stood at the door and did not come up: "Dear Priest Hogan, I am very grateful that you came to help my manor, but I hope you can know that what I reported is not a joke, let alone something that can be entertained. Things. It is a very immoral behavior for you to bring two children here!"

His son was trembling in the back, but Priest Hogan smiled happily: "Mr. Jerome, don't worry, we know the seriousness of the matter, and we are sent here because we know the archbishop. Also, please know, I am not I am not the leader of this matter, I am just a companion, these two children are the key figures to solve the problem. Please don't underestimate them, this Lord Leon is already an awakened person who can be called your Excellency. "

Mr. Jerome's expression...was expressionless. He obviously couldn't understand what Priest Hogan said. After all, it was too unbelievable.

"I am a priest of the God of Nature. I will not deceive God's believers with lies, or I will suffer God's punishment." Priest Hogan raised his hand and swore.

"No, I..." Mr. Jerome was a little more convinced now, although he only had to look at the two children to feel that he was dreaming again.

"Okay, Mr. Jerome, please come up. Tell us in detail what happened. None of us want something bad to happen while waiting." Priest Hogan waved his hand.

"Yes, you are right."

Monsieur Jerome got into the car, so it seemed that the Reverend Hogan could still be trusted.

For the rest of the short journey, Priest Hogan and Mr. Jerome were asking and answering questions. However, the results of the questions and answers only proved that the report of the Church of the God of Nature was very detailed and nothing was omitted.

"Let's go and see the farmer who disappeared first, okay?" The carriage entered the village, which was called Jerome Village, and the Jerome Manor was further east.The villages are populated by farmers serving the Jerome Manor, as well as various shops established because of the existence of these people.
