the days before i bought the galaxy

When Warren and Odin arrived on the archbishop's ship, they received a rather warm welcome.

As soon as they entered the spacecraft, they boarded a purple disc under the guidance of the earthlings who came to receive them.Judging from the vibration without inertial effect when the disk is activated, this should be a special aircraft that can affect the position.The archbishop's ship is full of a majestic feeling like being on a planet rather than inside a spaceship.There are even man-made lakes and rivers here.

A few minutes later, the purple disc under their feet slowly flew into a hall with a height of tens of meters.The hall is generally circular, and there are extremely realistic large statues of various alien life forms on about three-quarters of the walls.The characters in each painting have a commonality, such as the same purple nails and purple vertical pupils.

It dawned on Warren after he saw one of the portraits, which might be the image of Ulysses in the eyes of various living beings.And the work that surprised him was undoubtedly the work of a very outstanding human painter.Except for the golden halo and clouds with a strong religious meaning, the degree of lifelikeness and vividness of Ulysses in the painting far exceeds any kind of high-tech recording methods.

Between the paintings hangs a white curtain that is tens of meters long, which shows that these paintings may be usually covered by the curtain.The only side of the hall without portraits is the huge star projection.The quiet and deep picture is in sharp contrast with the brilliant lights in the hall, giving people a feeling of becoming smaller and smaller in the universe.

What really surprised Warren was not only these, tens of thousands of life forms gathered in the entire circular hall!

Warren could only recognize a tiny part of it, and he saw humans scattered among the crowd.The disc under his feet was slowly driving across a straight river in the center of the hall, and at the end of the river were twelve gently rising stairs.Ulysses can be vaguely seen standing alone on the circular platform at the end of the stairs.

After seeing Warren and his party, all life forms sang a low and melodious melody together.According to the earthlings in charge of the reception, "chanting of hymns" is a treat that only the distinguished guests of the archbishop can enjoy, and this is listed as one of the twelve grand events in the teachings of the Holy Light Sect.

A few minutes later, they finally saw Ulysses himself on the dais at the end of the staircase at the end of the hall.At this time, Warren already knew that Ulysses did not have many opportunities to show up, and only about [-] followers were lucky enough to listen to the archbishop's speech every year.Some people have been waiting on this spaceship for decades or even hundreds of years, but they still haven't waited for their opportunity.Even so, being a follower of the Archbishop is still the highest honor for a Cultist of the Holy Light.A welcome ceremony like today is undoubtedly the best opportunity to pay homage to the Archbishop up close.

Ulysses is still wearing a white robe, but unlike last time, his robe looks more complicated and solemn today.The collar and cuffs of the robes are trimmed with gold, and there is a deep purple cloak over at least three layers of robes.On his head is a towering crown with a golden dove representing the incarnation of God and twelve spiritual symbols representing the twelve archbishops painted in the center of the crown.

"What a beauty..." Odin couldn't help but let out an admiration.At this moment, the half-human's ears were bowed obediently to the back of its head, and its tail was wagging excitedly.He looked away quickly, as if it were a shame to be attracted to the Archbishop.

"Indeed." Warren nodded.

Every time he sees Ulysses, he has a feeling of spiritual cleansing.He doesn't believe in the Holy Light sect, but he can't deny the strong divine radiance in Ulysses.

This is probably the feeling of a mortal standing in front of God, right?

The purple disk landed on the platform where Ulysses was.

"You can kiss my index finger, if you want." Ulysses smiled and raised his left hand, the tapered nails flashing with eerie light did not damage his sacred temperament in the slightest.

He wore a dark purple crystal ring on his index finger, which was flatter and wider than ordinary crystal rings, almost covering a knuckle.The style of the ring is very simple, and only the inscription representing Ulysses is engraved on it.It reminded Warren of the red ring he still wears on his left middle finger.The two should also be from the hands of Ulysses, and the archbishop seems to have a soft spot for this style of ring.

Warren gently took Ulysses' hand.Different from five years ago, this time, when he touched Ulysses' finger, he suddenly felt an overwhelming spiritual tremor.Countless images seemed to flash before his eyes in an instant. The people in these images were both familiar and unfamiliar, but they all disappeared when he tried to see clearly in a panic.He was back at the welcome ceremony.

Warren glanced quizzically at the small part of Ulysses's arm that was exposed in his robes.The archbishop's hand is slightly narrower and longer than that of the earthlings, and the index finger is slightly raised.Warren couldn't figure out what the scene had just been for a split second, but he didn't want to delay the session for too long.He burns a kiss on the amethyst ring Ulysses wears on his index finger.

"Welcome, my friend." Ulysses nodded to Warren.His eyes stayed on Odin.

"This is my lieutenant Odin." Warren introduced.

"Red Fox, what you want is not what you want."

Faced with such advice, Odin was slightly taken aback, and then resumed his cynical expression: "Your Majesty the Archbishop, will your next sentence be to remind me that what I really want will never be obtained?" Are you there?"

"No, you can get what you want in the end, your life is connected with the man standing by your side." Ulysses said calmly.

Warren suddenly felt a sadness welling up from the depths of his soul.It took him a few seconds to realize that this emotion should not come from him. For some reason, Ulysses' emotion seemed to pour into his heart without hindrance.He didn't understand how he had discovered this, but it was true.

Why is Ulysses sad?

"Ah!" Ulysses let out a low cry. "Come on, my guests, please come with me to the reception room." He looked a little annoyed.

This time Warren's feeling was stronger, and Ulysses' inner restlessness and regret rushed into him, and there was an indistinguishable emotion.

Why the sudden telepathy for Ulysses?

As Warren pondered this question, the platform beneath their feet began to move slowly forward.They left the hall amid the chants of the believers.

The platform flew over a forest-like place, and finally stopped beside a staircase. Ulysses walked with Warren and Odin for about ten minutes before arriving at the place where he received Warren last time.Seeing the four-legged ostrich watering the plants with its extra two legs, Warren suddenly had a strong sense of home.

"Sorry." Ulysses waved his hand, and the world in front of them suddenly stopped.The water droplets from the nozzles stagnated in mid-air for an instant, which surprised Warren.

"Did you stop time?" Warren moved and found that he was not within the limits of Ulysses, but from the fact that Odin was motionless like a wooden man, Odin's time should also be stopped.He remembered the last time Ulysses stopped the time of everyone except them in a purple light, maybe because he was in Ulysses' ship, this time there was no purple light.

"Psychic power is omnipotent." Ulysses smiled, "This will make you no longer be affected by spiritual resonance. But it seems that I can only entertain you in person." He glanced at the same immobilized Four-legged ostrich.

He led Warren to the window sill where they sat last time, and the pillows on the window sill had been replaced with crimson.

"Would you like Qiqi biscuits? I haven't made tea for a long time, I hope tea art has not deteriorated." Ulysses said while taking out a silver tray, and he quickly prepared two cups of tea and a small saucer on it biscuit.

"What is Chikki? You just said spiritual resonance? Also, can't Odin hear our conversation?" Warren glanced at Odin who was still standing at the door blankly.

"You have so many questions, but fortunately we have plenty of time to talk this time." Ulysses smiled, "First of all, chiki biscuits are a kind of miraculous food. It won't melt." He handed Warren a small biscuit.

The chocolate and cream colors on the round biscuits are arranged like a palette at intervals. The appearance looks very delicious, but Warren still can't imagine how to eat this high-temperature resistant food.

"But it can be completely digested in an environment of 35 to 40 degrees." Ulysses added with a smile, "Try it, it should taste good to people on earth."

Warren took a bite of the Kiki biscuit, and it tasted really good, with a very mellow and rich taste.

"This kind of food tells us that sometimes the temperature is not as high as possible, and the correct temperature is the most important thing. By the way, the materials used to make Qiqi biscuits are inseparable from the technology of the earth people, but those who know how to use spiritual power People on Earth can bake it into edible food." Ulysses looked very excited, and he took another biscuit and handed it to Warren.

"So you did it?" Warren blurted out.

"Yes." Ulysses smiled, "Although I no longer need to do such mental exercises, but considering that you might like this kind of food, I specially prepared some before coming here."

"Thank you, I like it very much." Warren was a little moved by Ulysses' kindness.

"You can take away what you can't finish. By the way, speaking of spiritual resonance, I almost forgot, are my earrings still on you?"

"Yes, I plan to return it to you." Warren solemnly took out Ulysses' earrings from a small box, "Thank you very much for your help this time." He said sincerely.

Though he didn't think Ulysses would mind a tiny earring, Warren thought it better not to keep it for himself without saying a word.

"This is something I have to do, you don't have to take it to heart." Ulysses took the earring and put it back on one empty earlobe, then heaved a sigh of relief. "Does that look to you like an earring?" he asked.

Warren raised his eyebrows in surprise: "What I saw was a long prismatic purple earring."

"That's it...it should be regarded as the most used thing for people on earth!" Ulysses laughed, "Actually, this is a part of my body. If it is separated from the main body for a long time, it will be difficult for me. It's very inconvenient."

"A body part?!" Warren was taken aback.
