only god

Chapter 689 Why do you want to recognize me?

Time gradually passed, and Eden slowly climbed up the hillside.

It was getting late now, and the night shrouded this majestic city. The curfew had arrived and all the lights were extinguished. Standing not far from the Lecture Hall, Eden turned back and looked down at the city. He wondered if it was his imagination, but he always It felt like the sticky darkness was crowding every street and alley, reflecting the city's sinful nature.

He stood and couldn't help but cry in his heart, King of kings, look at this city that believes in you, what has your fear brought to it? People will still sin, they will still fall, they will still perish.

"I'm not here for everyone."

There was a voice in his heart again.

Even though it was only for a moment, just a moment passed through his heart, and Eden felt a sting and an indescribable bitterness.

Eden couldn't help but ask himself at this moment, why would a god come for everyone?

In this world, there are both good and evil, both righteous and evil, so why should God come for the latter? His sharp blade should be aimed at the latter, and His strong shield will protect the former, even if God has forgiveness. With all the power of sin, why does God need it.

The evildoers deserve to live their lives under His wrath, the righteous should enjoy their lives under His joy, and those who are unjust and evil sleep under His sighs.

Eden shook his head, trying to put all this behind him. He raised his head, turned his attention to the lecture hall again, took a deep breath, and headed there.

The four holy servants have arrived. At that time, the city fell into a boiling ocean. Countless people were cheering and celebrating. The fanaticism of jihad was deeply embedded in everyone's heart. Many people were Incited by that emotion, crimes were committed, and by evening the city was quiet as the lecture halls were dispersed and the curfew came.

There was no one outside the Lecture Hall, and there were no guards patrolling. Eden saw a fire inside and knew that the people in the Lecture Hall were not asleep yet, so he came to the gate.

Eden took a deep breath and opened the door of the Lecture Hall.

"Who comes here so late?"

The door opened a small crack, and the creaking sound alerted the people in the lecture hall. The footsteps of the deacon sounded from inside. Eden let go of his hand, waiting for the deacon to open the door from the inside out.

After opening the door, the deacon took a few steps back as usual, and at this time, Eden stepped into the lecture hall.

"who are you?"

The deacon frowned warily.

Those who come to lecture on scholasticism at this time are generally not good people.

Eden turned a deaf ear and turned his attention to the lecture hall. The main body of the entire hall was made of marble. The floor was as smooth as if you could look into a mirror. The pagan altar stood quietly. Behind it, there were religious paintings - —The door of heaven.

Surrounding the altar, there are three men and one woman standing. They are dressed simply and do not have gorgeous cassocks. Next to the three men and one woman is the officiant wearing a dark gilt cassock. His slightly bent appearance looks like a priest. Be the servants of these people.

Eden immediately realized that the three men and one woman were the four holy servants who had arrived in this city.

The deacon came up and wanted to hold Eden, but Iden walked straight forward and let the deacon miss him.

Before he could stop him, he saw four holy servants walking towards Iden.

Eden stopped and looked silently at the four holy servants and the officiant who hurriedly followed behind them. He pursed his lips slightly and said nothing, just looking at him quietly with a melancholy gaze. Then watch.

The holy servants were also looking back at him. Their faces were confused at first, and then a trace of astonishment suddenly flashed across their faces, as if they sensed something, as if the holiness of a distant place swept over their bodies and minds, and what they could see from human vision Ignorance, confusion, and confusion were completely gone. The radiance of truth seemed to appear at this moment. The most sacred dead thing in the eyes of the world was instantly shattered. Because there is no one more holy than Him, the most magnificent dead thing in the eyes of the world also collapsed. For there is none greater than Him, and that is exactly what they encountered.

While Iden stood, the four holy servants came over. They clasped their hands and stood in front of Iden. Then they slowly knelt down, held up Iden's hand, and kissed the back of his hand.

The chief priest and the deacon froze. They looked at this scene in disbelief. Kissing hands is very common. In the secular world, it is usually the person of low status who kisses the person of high status. But spiritually, the person who kisses the hand is the one who kisses the hand. The person whose hand is kissed asks for blessings.

As clergy, they had also been kissed on the back of their hands by many people, and when the four holy servants arrived, it was they who kissed the rough and wrinkled backs of the hands of those holy servants and begged for blessings from them.

Before they had time to tremble or exclaim, the holy servants had already slowly stood up under Iden's gaze.

Eden looked at these people with complex eyes. The priest didn't know what to say for a moment. He stood quietly.

The Lecture Hall suddenly fell into a quiet atmosphere. No one spoke first. Only the sound of people's breathing was left in the air. It seemed that in this place, only one person had the right to break the silence first.

After a long time, Eden organized his thoughts and slowly asked:

"You guys...why do you want to recognize me?"

Eden felt strange asking such a question.

No one knows better than himself why the holy servants do what they do, and no one knows better than himself what the actions of the holy servants mean.

The saint servants looked at each other, their eyes intertwined, as if they were communicating silently, and thinking. Finally, Endo, the oldest saint servant among them, slowly spoke:

"'It is trouble if we deny God's will before us.'"

Eden knew the scriptures he was quoting.

"'The King of Kings said: 'Come to me and you will understand.' And he said, 'I mean what Al-Azhar means, what Elad means, what Prodor means, because these people All the prophets and messengers must act according to my will.'"

The female holy servant Nelas slowly added.

Those holy servants all looked at Iden, as if they were looking up at something otherworldly and sacred. Such a look of reverence cannot be enjoyed even by the angels of that kingdom, because angels are always there, and he, our king The king's messenger is unique.

Eden bore their gazes silently, feeling a little confused.

At this time, the four holy servants were looking behind him. They all looked at the open door behind him doubtfully, as if they were looking for something. "What are you doing?"

Eden asked.

The holy servants slowly withdrew their gaze. They looked at Iden, and one of them slowly replied:

"We are looking for the great enemy the scriptures speak of.

He has sent prophets to reveal to us that messengers will go with great enemies. "

The great enemy of my King of Kings?

Eden suddenly woke up from his slight confusion.

He had read their scriptures and knew the rumors about their great enemy.

It is written in the scriptures that when judgment comes, Azabel will go with the messengers of our King, to the end of the sky and the sea, and fight decisively with the great enemy of our King. The day of victory in the decisive battle will be when the truth will be revealed. time.

The messenger must go with the enemy...

Eden lowered his head, raised his hand, and fell into silence.

The so-called enemy...could it be myself? !

Looking back on the past, haven't I been trying to stop the cult, haven't I been trying to reverse the future?

"I...I am both a messenger and an enemy."

Eden declared slowly, his fingertips couldn't help but tremble slightly.

The four holy servants were all stunned for a moment, and then the eldest holy servant Endo turned around first and knelt down towards the door painting of the Kingdom of Heaven. He opened his arms and praised the gods loudly.

"Great God, the most wise God, how could you have such ingenious arrangements? There are countless mysteries hidden in your arrangements!"

When he did this, other holy servants followed suit, and the chief priest and aide also followed. Only Eden was still standing, with complicated eyes and hesitant mood.

He understood that if he were a pagan, or if these clergy were praising the Lord, he would do the same.

After a while, several holy servants stood up and slowly turned around. They seemed not surprised by Eden's action of standing where he was.

.............................................

.............................................

Eden took up his residence in this lecture house.

And he saw the deputy priest from last time again.

"The king of my kings...I, I didn't expect,"

When the deacon saw Eden, his whole body was shaking and he was so excited that he could not speak.

"It turns out, it turns out that you are..."

Eden said:

"Messenger of the king of my kings? Is this what you want to say?"

The deputy priest swallowed and nodded slowly.

After a while, he clasped his hands together and said regretfully:

"I, at that time, I actually put such a heretical book in front of you. How sinful and shameful. I hope you can be magnanimous and avoid my mistakes."

Eden sighed and said slowly:

"I forgive you."

The deacon felt ecstatic and recited scriptures:

"'I lay my sins before God, and all my good deeds are exchanged for a sigh.'"

When hearing these pagan chants, Eden would often respond with silence.

Before, when nothing was clear, the priest would echo a few scriptures in order to pretend to be a pagan, but now, he has become clear about his identity as a messenger.

Although I cannot accept it, I have been truly abandoned by God.

"Bring me some scriptures."

Eden thought of something and spoke slowly.

The deputy priest nodded quickly. He did not ask Iden what he wanted the book for, and he did not dare to ask, but he felt that the envoy of the King of Kings must have his purpose in doing this.

After the deputy priest left his sight, Iden turned his attention to the long sword.

The legacy of Solamus shone silvery in the sunlight outside the window.
