Lucifer sacrificed too much for world peace

This wave of replenishment from the sky, as if someone pulled up a banner at the scene "Eat what you want, I pay the bill", the atmosphere suddenly became more enthusiastic.

Lucifer finally found out where the host was, because suddenly there was a place where the voices of toasting and praise were louder than other places.

Einstein followed Lucifer's line of sight, found the person surrounded by people, and confirmed Lucifer's guess: "That's Grandpa Bill."

Lucifer raised his eyebrows subtly.

He used to be more sensitive to other people's emotions, and after he came to this world, he could clearly recognize it—this Bill Forbes, with gray hair and a red face, the emotion that was brimming with him at this moment was undoubtedly complacent , and enjoy.

It is estimated that he is enjoying the flattery of others.

"It wasn't struck by lightning???" Lucifer went to poke the alarm clock again.

[He often holds large banquets regardless of the identity of the guests, which is not harmful to others, and even has benefits. For example, his funds flow into the hands of bakers, chefs, etc., while ordinary citizens save a meal Fan, this move has slightly promoted the equality between him and others, it is charity, the merit outweighs the demerits, and it will not be struck by lightning. 】

[In fact, except for Bill Forbes, people with more money in this world will conduct some charitable acts from time to time, because if the gap between the rich and the poor is too large, the richest people will be unlucky due to divine punishment. 】

Lucifer understood.

The church’s censorship attitude is tough but there is no divine punishment. That’s because people don’t care about their deeds, and when rich people entertain guests to show off their wealth, they start to disregard their deeds and their minds again.

The loopholes in this divine punishment system are not small. It is estimated that some operating logic has been deduced, which is why the elder Forbes dared to be so unscrupulous.

[Actually, gods have gone to rest in recent hundreds of years. In order to avoid accidental injury, the rules of the automatic god punishment system have been relaxed, and people have gradually learned to exploit loopholes. 】

"Well, it's good, I can do things when the god is asleep... Speaking of which, how long will it take for the god to wake up?" Lucifer suddenly realized this important question.

【have no idea.But this year, there will be angels coming down to patrol. If the angels find something is wrong, they may wake up God in advance. 】

Lucifer: "... Please tell me about this kind of thing earlier!"

I thought it would be good to hide from God's sight, but now I have to hide from the angel, maybe it's still my former colleague, although he doesn't remember anything...

Forget it, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. He only has two guests now, and he has no impact on this world at all, and the angels probably won't notice him.

Because he didn't want to waste food, Lucifer didn't go to get food at all, and the plate in front of him was always empty.Einstein next to him also had no interest in this kind of ordinary food because he had just eaten instant noodles, and the plate was empty, which made the two of them a little conspicuous when they got together.

At least after Bill Forbes walked out of the crowd, he glanced around a little, and his eyes immediately fell in the direction of the two of them.

The kid from the Einstein family talked enthusiastically to the person next to him, but the person sitting next to him was an unfamiliar face, far beyond the most beautiful face in Eden City, but his face looked a little cold, the kid from the Einstein family said for a long time Only then did he respond.

I don't know if the man noticed it, but many people around were watching him secretly.

Maybe it was because I had been staring at him for a long time, but the stranger suddenly turned his gaze to him, and his golden pupils looked over clearly, instantly waking him up from his slightly drunk state.

…So many people were looking at the young man, but he only looked at himself seriously, and Elder Bill Forbes felt inexplicably joyful.

He collected himself, exchanged greetings all the way, walked through the crowd, and walked in front of the stranger and the boy from the Einstein family.

"Welcome!" He looked at the empty plates of the two of them, as well as the seemingly untouched bread and barbecue on the big plate, and asked if the food was okay, of course he couldn't say it, and he got stuck for a while.

Einstein didn't pay attention to this, he was busy introducing the two parties: "Grandpa Bill, this is—"

Having said this, Einstein suddenly realized that he didn't even know what Lucifer's name was!

So he got stuck too.

Fortunately, Lucifer answered calmly: "Hi, my name is Lucifer."

Bill Forbes noticed that this overly handsome young man did not give his last name.

The custom in this world is to introduce yourself with your first and last name, or just report yourself as a member of the xxx family.However, it is not uncommon for people not to report their surnames. The common situation is that the other party is in the middle of a family trial. After the trial is successful, he is eligible to announce his surname to the outside world.

However, Einstein felt that the owner of the store did not look like he was on the way to the trial, but rather like a sage who kept his name and passed the test of many people, and finally chose the one he liked.

Sure enough, as Einstein expected, when Elder Forbes asked kindly with a smile, "Are you on the way to the trial?", he got a negative answer.

He just said, the shopkeeper's series of actions, whether it is the test called backgammon, the astonishing rewards he gave, or not reporting his surname at this moment, are all very commensurate with the status of a rare sage.

Moreover, when he tentatively called the other party a sage, the other party did not deny it!Then he must have guessed correctly, right?

So Einstein showed such an expression, and said, "Mr. Lucifer should be a sage."

Elder Forbes was stunned: "Have you tried it? What kind of test? What have you got?"

Lucifer found that the situation seemed to be different from what he thought, and he hurriedly asked the alarm clock in his heart: "What's the matter, isn't this sage just an ordinary honorific title?"

[Sages in the age of heroes refer to people who are full of wisdom, teach others, answer doubts, give advice, and even become life mentors. They are mostly circulated in hero biographies. Now they refer to imitating the behavior of famous ancient sages, creating Trial puzzles, who provide corresponding rewards for those who pass the trial. 】

[It is easier to be knowledgeable and knowledgeable. The knowledge of this world is public. Anyone can learn as long as they are willing to learn, but the sage has to be tested differently—because in the legends that have been handed down, the sage in it has a great understanding of the heroes. The tests are very imaginative - people must be interested in the content of the test and take the initiative to participate, otherwise they are just ordinary testers, and every tester hopes to become a sage. 】

Lucifer couldn't help complaining: "So the current sages are actually retro performance artists?"

If playing games is considered a trial, then judging from the attractiveness of this trial, he must be at the level of a great sage! ! !

When Lucifer was communicating with the alarm clock, Einstein was also talking to Elder Forbes: "The content of the trial is related to mathematics, and the method is very novel. I have never seen it before. I don't think I will get tired of it no matter how many times I go. As for the rewards Well... very delicious food."

"Gourmet food?" Elder Forbes said meaningfully, "Mr. Lucifer is really bold to take food as a reward. If you think about these ordinary foods, you should not look down on them."

Although he had a good impression of this young man at first, he was not someone who would be fooled by appearances!This person didn't feel anything about the banquet he had prepared, he didn't move a bite, and he didn't know what he was here for, did he mess things up?

Lucifer smiled indifferently: "Thanks to the Lord's love, I have never encountered any divine punishment so far, and I am indeed a little picky."

The divine punishment system has opened a back door for him, and it would be a ghost to be punished.

Einstein was very surprised: "Have you never encountered God's punishment? I have fallen on the ground several times, and you have had a very smooth life, right?"

Lucifer: "..."

Probably because he knew what he wanted to ask, the alarm clock took the initiative to explain: [The most severe divine punishment is lightning strike, but for minor crimes, falling on the ground, spraining your feet, and breaking your breath are enough.Many times it is just a coincidence, and it is also regarded as divine punishment by people, which makes them more accustomed to introspection and self-censorship. 】

Oh, no wonder Einstein dared to come in. He thought that the other party was risking being struck by lightning. In this case, the difficulty of attracting new customers was a little lower than expected.

It's just that God's punishment covers such a wide range, Lucifer didn't want to look too strange, so he had to change his words: "I mean, I have never been punished for eating."

Well, that's normal.The expressions of Einstein and Elder Forbes relaxed.

Archbishop Forbes found an explanation himself: "It seems that God has other expectations for you, and maybe you have some contributions that you didn't realize... If so, you must taste my wine!"

Einstein's eyes lit up: "Is it the batch dedicated to God last year?"

"Exactly." Elder Forbes said in a steady tone, but Lucifer could feel the complacency that was gradually evident in him, "Even the Archbishop was full of praise, saying that it was God's blessing that made this batch of wines so perfect. It is the well-deserved 'God's Blood'!"

Although he didn't give Lucifer much face just now, Elder Bill Forbes still couldn't help but want to impress the other party.

What is going on with this strange impulse, Elder Forbes doesn't understand, he has never been so persistent in his father's approval...

Alarm clock self-conscious science popularization: [The earliest wine in the world was a person who lost his way in the forest. He was tired and thirsty and afraid of eating poisonous things, and there was no water source nearby. God led him to a place where grapes used to grow. There is wine formed by chance after the grapes ripened and rotted. Because the wine is red, it was passed down as a miracle, and it turned into the blood of the gods and turned into wine to save this man's life. 】

Lucifer was silent for a while: "God... Is it too much to do it yourself? Are you so dedicated?"

[You used to be very serious and careful in doing things, and you were very worried. 】

Lucifer couldn't imagine it.

As soon as he was so distracted, Elder Forbes had already taken out a bottle from his arms, and carefully poured a little into the cup that flew over in the air, and it seemed that it was only a mouthful.

They don't have the habit of drinking boiled water, and ordinary water often has a strange taste or germs, so after the method of brewing wine, everyone drinks light beer since childhood, and everyone drinks wine as a drink.

This is just a need, and wine is a necessary sacrifice to the gods, so a small punishment can't stop the relevant people from continuing to improve wine-making techniques. Forbes is one of them, and he is very confident in the wine he brews.

Einstein was a little envious when he saw the wine, and urged Lucifer: "Try it!"

Lucifer couldn't refuse, so he accepted.

Not liking to drink doesn't mean he hasn't drunk it. He took a small sip and took a sip in his mouth. He just felt a little sour, so-so, no matter how much he tasted, he just swallowed it. go down.

The other two watched him put down the cup, and said calmly: "Not bad, very delicious."

——But your expressions and actions don’t say that! ! !

Elder Forbes saw that there was still half a sip left in the other party's glass, and suddenly felt that his wine was looked down upon.The wine he distributed to others has never been left behind. Which one doesn't keep a drop?Which one is not full of excitement and praise?

He sneezed (Lu: Is this God's punishment?), a little disappointed and unhappy, but he still restrained his emotions and said: "It seems that Mr. Lucifer has drunk better wine, no I know if you can offer a share of the sacrifices offered to God this year."

Lucifer immediately thought painfully of his sky-high price of red wine, but he was not interested in offering sacrifices to the gods, so he said casually, "Let's talk about it later, after I pass the church's review."

"Oh? Are you on the street where you're about to be censored?"

The favorability of Lucifer has dropped from 80 at the first meeting to failing. The elder Forbes raised his eyebrows, and he sneezed three times in a row before finally finishing his sentence.

"It's just right... ah! The elders group is me... ah!——I assisted Bishop Gregory to review... ah! It seems that I have a chance to try your trial——hmm!"

Lucifer: "...I am looking forward to your visit, please take care of yourself and don't bite your tongue again."

——This guy is either scolding him in his heart, or he is uneasy and kind in reviewing his shop!This divine punishment is still too light! ! !
