Ruby's Otherworldly Adventure
Chapter 22 The Penitent
It was May in a blink of an eye, and on this day, Pastor Noah was going to the city to find a familiar pastor to deal with some matters.Before leaving, he asked Meyer to replace him and help him with the work of the confession room. After explaining to Meyer the things that need to be paid attention to, Noah left with peace of mind.
At this time, the apprentices Meyer was in charge of teaching had all left their teachers, because she had basically taught all the commonly used characters, which were enough for those reserve priests.For now, Mayer really has nothing to do every day except singing and playing the piano to improve her cultivation, so she is quite happy to be able to help the pastor and pass the monotonous life by the way.
With Noah's conscientious management, the reputation of the temple has gradually spread. Of course, it is also because of Ruby's infinite battery life.Unlike ordinary priests who withered after using a few magic spells every day, Ruby could release magic spells non-stop from morning to night, so many people who couldn't get in line at the Temple of Light went to the countryside to seek medical treatment.
The confession room is next door to the treatment room, both of which are made of ordinary white stone, and the sound insulation effect of the stone wall is very good, but this will not be of much use to professionals with sensitive ears and eyes.For the sake of confidentiality, the confessional room of the Temple of Light uses black haze stones that can block even the senses of professionals. The black haze stones have a very strong blocking effect, and even with the spiritual power of the magister, it is impossible to know what the people inside are talking about.
Although the Temple of Life has gained some fame in the past two years, professionals still don't take the initiative to come to this shabby temple, and the confession room receives ordinary people.After all, if he can't even keep secrets well, which professional dares to reveal his inner secrets?
But there are other benefits to being all ordinary people, at least you won’t encounter the kind of mental illness that you can’t help but confess your crimes to the priest with inner torment, and then suddenly regret and want to silence him after you say it. The sad thing is that you can’t beat him.Ordinary people want to go crazy, but the priest who is a professional can clean him up in minutes.
The two people near the workplace chat with each other and drink tea when they are free, but most of the time is Ruby’s free time, because the treatment only needs to lose a magic spell and it’s over. It's useless to try again and still have the same result.
As for those who are dissatisfied with the treatment results and feel that the priest is perfunctory and wants to make trouble, he will find that the priests with backing behind him are more cool than the other: this is the healing technique of our temple.This group of healers who rely on the gods to enjoy the coolness are much happier than their colleagues in another world who are often troubled by doctor-patient disputes.
The work of confession is different. In order to maintain a good external image of the church, the pastor must not only listen patiently to the voice of the confessor, but also shoulder the role of persuasion and admonishment.Generally speaking, this work takes quite a long time, and all kinds of wonderful things emerge in endlessly, which extremely tests the patience of the pastor, so formal priests leave this kind of work to apprentices, and only those professionals who come to confess will do it. Going into battle in person, but the psychological quality of those who can become professionals is not very bad, and the lower limit of acceptance is relatively low. Very few people will take the initiative to talk to the priest to relieve the pressure.
However, the apprentices in the Temple of Life have just finished learning characters, and their cultural level is not enough to fool the believers who come to confess, so Noah has to do it himself. Cylinder.
Unfortunately, not long after taking office, Meyer encountered a superstar.
A fat middle-aged wealthy businessman walked into the confession room. He walked to one end of the dark room and sat on an iron chair, twisting his body uncomfortably. Silent.The confession room is dark and will exert invisible pressure on people's hearts, so Meyer took the initiative to say: "Brothers who come to confess, nothing you say in this place will be leaked. No matter what you have committed No matter what sin, as long as you are sincere, the goddess will forgive your sin."
The rich businessman whispered, "My lord pastor, I'm guilty. I shouldn't have cheated my partner."
"What have you done?" Meyer asked following his words.
"Once, I went out to do business with two businessmen. One of the businessmen brought a large sum of money, which made me very envious. I set up a scam with the local acquaintances, trying to cheat him. No Thinking of how greedy he was, he refused to return all the money he had lost, and finally owed a large amount of debt. He didn’t have the face to go home to see his wife and children, so he committed suicide on the same day. Now that I think about it, it’s really my fault.” The rich businessman felt uneasy. Said.
Meyer frowned in the shadows, and said coldly: "This is indeed a big crime. You coveted your companion's property and designed to seduce him, which led to this misfortune. However, most businessmen are greedy for profit, and death is his own after all. The choice is not up to you. If you repent from now on and never do this kind of thing again, God will forgive you.”
The rich businessman breathed a sigh of relief. Although the pastor's tone was cold, these words reassured him a lot. He continued to confess: "There is one more thing, I don't know whether I should say it or not."
"Whatever you have done, just say it. The goddess can tolerate everything. As her spokesperson on earth, I will listen to the sins committed by believers for her." Meyer said.
The rich businessman gritted his teeth, the flesh on his face trembled, and finally said it: "Actually, just a few weeks ago, I did something wrong, and my wife died because of it."
Speaking of this, the rich businessman's face was a little ugly, he said half regretfully and half unwillingly: "She is a beautiful woman, otherwise I would not have married her at the beginning, but after I got married, I realized how stupid this woman is. Even a cup of tea is not good, and I don't know how to please my husband at all, and even threatened me to go home, so I hit her a few times occasionally, but I didn't expect the last time to be too hard, and she died after the spanking. Infected and died in a few days."
A trace of pain flashed across the rich merchant's face: "However, I was punished because of this. I was fined a large sum of money by the judge. I spent half a year's income here. I think this is the goddess's punishment for me."
Meyer felt disgusted for a while, listening to this kind of person was simply tormenting himself, but the rich businessman continued to repent.
"My wife's elder brother found out about this and thought that I beat my wife to death on purpose, so he kept making troubles for me, wanting to accuse me of homicide and sentence me to hang. The crime only punished me with money." Thinking of the amount of money, the rich businessman felt very distressed.
"My wife's brother, not satisfied with the result, stabbed me himself, but luckily fell to my bodyguards. He was convicted of attempted murder and hanged next week. Although it was his own fault, I still feel sorry for a young man who is about to die. I feel sad for losing his life. After all, this matter has something to do with me, and I can't understand how he feels sorry for his sister." The rich businessman looked regretful, he thought his heart was quite kind, and he actually sympathized with a man who wanted to kill his sister. own people.
"You should reflect on your sins. If you abused your wife to death, God will not forgive you." Meyer advised him: "If you want to repent, go back and honestly explain your crimes to the judge. If it can help you The wife’s elder brother should help as soon as possible, this is also an atonement, if you sincerely repent, then do as I told you.”
"What you said is true." Although the rich businessman said this in his mouth, he actually didn't take it seriously in his heart. He felt that the female pastor, like his wife, was an idiot who couldn't tell the difference. Even professionals are the same, as for those without breasts, are they still called women?
He wouldn't throw himself into a trap foolishly, these two people were ultimately to blame.He came to the temple mainly to seek psychological comfort. After all, two people died, and he believed in the gods. He felt somewhat uneasy, so he came to the temple to find peace of mind. He didn't expect this new priest girl to be so dishonest.
Unlike the temple he had been to before, the priest there told him that as long as he prayed to the gods with his heart, the gods would forgive your sins, and he patiently relieved him, making him feel very comfortable.Still the same sentence, what does a woman know, she should have known that he shouldn't come, and she was blind to the traveling expenses he paid for rushing to this small rural place.
The rich businessman only dared to say these words silently in his heart, he didn't want to offend a naive professional.Just like that, he left the gate of the temple with a full belly, patted his sore buttocks and rode away in a carriage.
Meyer let out a long sigh of relief after sending the believer away. She left the confession room and wanted to meet Ruby next door to relieve her depressed mood. Dealing with this kind of scum was a test of her patience.
The treatment room where Ruby was in was empty, and it seemed that Ruby also finished her work very quickly today.
Different from the dark and oppressive confession room, the walls of the treatment room are paved with white tiles, and a wooden window is opened on the ceiling, so that the room is full of sunlight, full of openness and holiness.
When Mayer arrived, Ruby was happily eating cookies and drinking the newly harvested scented tea, enjoying the afternoon tea time leisurely.
Ruby used to drink afternoon tea and listen to the gossip in the confessional next door, why did I beat my sister in anger today, accidentally trampled to death a chicken in the neighbor’s house, and quarreled with my parents when I didn’t listen to my parents? Little things, I lost interest after listening to them for a long time, and only listened to them occasionally when I was interested, like today, she didn't listen to the corner next door, and just missed this disgusting thing, if she heard it, she probably spent the afternoon Tea spit out the heart has.
"How about Meyer, it's nice to help Pastor Noah take over, doesn't it? It's just that it's easy to get impatient after sitting for a long time." Ruby raised the cookie in her hand: "Would you like some snacks?"
Meyer smiled at Ruby, took a sip from the teacup, and asked Ruby, "Is there any extra letter paper in the temple?"
"Yes, I'll look for it. I saw that Pastor Noah used it a few days ago." Guessing that Mayer was in a hurry, Ruby hurried to Noah's room and found a stack of it from a wooden box on the table. Letter paper, took out two pieces and handed them to Meyer.
Meyer got the letter paper, took out a quill pen he used to, dipped it in ink, and quickly wrote a few lines of cursive characters on it, then dried the ink on the letter paper, rolled the letter paper into a roll and tied it to the pigeon's leg , and tied a small bag to the other leg of the pigeon, which contained a gold coin.
Meyer said a few words to the pigeon, patted it on the head, fed it a cookie, and it flapped its wings and was on its way.
It is said to be a carrier pigeon, but it is actually a kind of pigeon and half monster. It can track and deliver letters according to the familiar smell, and has a good ability to survive in the wild. It will not be caught and eaten by other wild animals halfway, so the price is not cheap.Pastor Noah was very distressed when he bought it. It was part of the sponsorship from Meyer and Ruby that made him decide to buy it.
"Why do you suddenly want to write a letter?" Ruby asked curiously after Meyer finished all this.
"I want to help someone, because this is something only I know and only I can do. If I don't do it, no one will do it in the future, so I have no choice." Meyer replied indifferently .
At this time, the apprentices Meyer was in charge of teaching had all left their teachers, because she had basically taught all the commonly used characters, which were enough for those reserve priests.For now, Mayer really has nothing to do every day except singing and playing the piano to improve her cultivation, so she is quite happy to be able to help the pastor and pass the monotonous life by the way.
