Chapter 690 The deep meaning of the messenger

When morning came, the Lecture Hall was buzzing with people. Pagans crowded inside and outside the Lecture Hall. The momentum was far greater than yesterday. Everyone was looking forward to seeing the four holy servants who arrived here. The masters of the city were among the pilgrims, and they regarded the Holy Servant as a semi-sacred figure.

When the Holy Servant appeared in front of them, at this moment, as if their faith had been confirmed, the crowd's excitement became louder and louder. For a while, cheers came and went, and people shouted "Holy Cause" and "Confirmation of Prophecy" in unison. The sound of similar words spread throughout the city, and Eden could hear it clearly even in the quietest corner of the Lecture Hall.

Eden turned over the scriptures silently, feeling uncontrollably irritable in his heart.

The louder the cheers, the more Iden remembered the true believers who suffered in this city.

Normally, when beliefs are not fanatical, people with two different beliefs can still get along peacefully. In daily life and communication, people do not care what the other party believes. However, in this kind of emphasis on belief, In the fanatical atmosphere, everything has changed. People will clearly see that each other believes in different gods, and they hate each other, and even persecute each other. The more persecute the less, the greater persecute the smaller. People not only care about what the other party believes in, They care more about whether people who believe in the same faith as themselves believe deeply enough.

In such an atmosphere, small details will be magnified countless times.

Eden breathed out, flipped through the book, feeling a little thirsty, but couldn't find water, so he walked out of the door and walked towards the kitchen of the Lecture Hall.

Stepping into the kitchen, Eden took out the water bag and looked at the water tank to get water. At this time, someone looked at him behind the door.

Eden turned around and saw a boy who looked a little cowed.

"who are you?"

Eden looked at it for a while and suddenly asked.

After the words fell, the boy was startled, and he immediately knelt down in a hurry.

"I know you are the noble man here."

The boy shouted in panic,

"I-I came here with my mother, she told me to look here."

Eden looked at him, wondering why he was so panicked.

As a result, Eden entered a state of spiritual practice. He looked at the boy and found that the child's soul was pure and he had not committed any crime.

"Why are you so panicked?"

Eden asked.

The boy raised his head, a little confused. He felt that Eden was asking questions knowingly, so he said cautiously:

"My mother is the one who serves you. And I am as much a slave as my mother."

Eden was stunned for a moment, and then asked:

"slave?"

The boy nodded and continued:

"My mother's name is Smli. You will know as soon as you hear it. That is not a name that a believer should have."

Iden remembered that "Smli" was the name of a cosmetic made from a mixture of various spices, which was often decorated on the faces of noble women.

When such a name is used on a person, her identity of serving and beautifying people suddenly becomes clear.

The boy's mother was a female slave.

Eden frowned and said slowly:

"There are words in the Scriptures that abolish slavery..."

Whether it is viewed from the several sacred scriptures inherited by the Giant King Sect, or from the scriptures unique to the Giant King Sect, this belief is like the true religion and does not allow people to enslave others.

The boy nodded carefully, and then whispered:

"But my mother and I are stupid."

Eden was stunned for a moment, and then he understood something instantly.

In those verses, it is indeed clearly mentioned that enslaving others is not allowed.

If that's the case, how do you enslave people like this little boy?

Just don't think of them as "people", just don't think of people as people except those who believe in the King of my King.

"This is a violation of scripture."

Eden murmured.

At this moment, he didn't know whether he was speaking as a true believer or as a messenger of the King of Kings.

Before meeting this child today, Eden didn't know that many people here were slaves. He did not belong to this time and space, and he had never been deeply involved in the lives of these people.

"It's your fault, my king, it's your fault!"

As if he had found some favorable evidence, Eden raised his head and complained in his heart,

"You didn't show it to them!"

After a while, Eden seemed to hear some answer, and his slightly raised head immediately dropped down.

"Has my Father ever revealed himself to this?"

The voice from the bottom of his heart came again, and Eden was instantly surrounded by pain. He wanted to struggle, but he felt suffocated. He wanted to run, but he felt cold.

After a while, Eden turned around, sighed and said:

"Help me get some water to drink."

The boy was stunned for a moment, then walked over carefully, took the water bag from Eden's hand, filled it with water from the water tank, and returned it to Eden's hand.

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

When the hustle and bustle outside the lecture hall temporarily subsided, the deacon came and knocked on the door.

"What you are reading is..."

The deputy priest said in surprise:

""The Book of Envoys"?"

Eden nodded slightly, his eyes still falling on the book.

The "Book of Envoys" of the Juwang Sect is a scripture that records the prophets and messengers of our king. This is the scripture with the most records of people among all scriptures, and there is no one.

Because of this, this book has also become a collection of names for many pagans.

Seeing that Eden didn't speak, the deputy stopped interrupting and turned to leave.

But at this time, Eden suddenly asked a question.     “Do you know Verdo?”

The deputy priest immediately blurted out,

“I know, the righteous in the Scripture.”

Eden looked at the contents of the scripture, and he clearly saw Verdo's name.

There are many people named Verdo in the world, and in this scripture, it is clearly stated that he is a dwarf priest, so Eden is sure that this is the Verdo he knows.

“He saved the messenger of my King, so even though he was a fool, it is written that he was righteous.”

The deacon added, casting a confirming glance at Eden.

After a long time, Eden nodded slightly.

Touching the name in the scripture and seeing that Verdo was recorded in the scripture, Eden felt amazing about the interlacing of time and space.

"Verdot told a story..."

Eden seemed to be talking to the deacon, but also seemed to be talking to himself.

The deputy priest showed surprise and curiosity. He could tell from Eden's tone that the envoy seemed to have met the righteous Vildor before.

How wonderful, O King of kings, I praise you.

The deputy priest said in his heart.

"Verdot met a hermit on the road. Seeing that he did not understand the sacred scriptures, his eyes were fogged, and he could not see the truth, he preached in front of him, and then left in a complacent manner. When he left, The hermit gave him a book.

On the way back, Verdo kept reading the book and couldn't help but curse the words in the book, thinking about when to teach the hermit again. "

When he said this, Eden paused.

The priest unscrewed the water bag and took a sip of water.

The deputy priest opened his mouth slightly and waited patiently with curiosity on his face. He had never heard such a story in all his years of serving the King of Kings.

"After that, Verdo encountered a disaster and met a murderer on the vast sea. The murderer's butcher knife was waving wildly, trying to take his life. At this time, a storm suddenly approached, the color of the sky and the earth changed, and the rain poured down. I saw someone riding the wind and waves. Come and appear before him.

Only then did Verdo realize that the man had already been justified and sanctified. The man's name was Zealand, and he was a prophet. "

When he said this, Eden suddenly fell silent, as if he was trapped in a distant memory.

After a while, the deputy priest couldn't help but asked:

"Then...what happened next?"

The deputy priest felt that the story was not over yet.

"later…"

Eden exhaled slowly,

“Seeran rescued him, got off the boat, disappeared, and he has not seen the Prophet since.

but,

That book has been with him to this day. "

Eden relayed the story of Verdot. The deacon listened attentively and quickly fell into deep thought. He first delved into the mystery of the story, then searched for similar verses in his mind, and then continued Make a mental "oh" sound of realization.

However, with further reflection and exploration, the deacon felt confused again. He couldn't help but recall Eden's actions. He suddenly felt that the significance of this story lay not only in the story itself, but also in the messenger who told the story. .

Thinking about it this way, it seems that every pause when the messenger speaks has a special meaning.

Eden turned around and asked:

"Are you thinking about the meaning of this story?"

The deputy priest nodded slightly and Hao Yan said:

"May God have mercy on me... my wisdom is limited and there is much I don't understand."

Eden looked at him and asked again:

"Do you want me to answer your questions?"

The deputy priest's eyes were bright and he was about to nod.

But Eden said at this time:

"I don't know what the story means either."

These words were from Eden's heart.

When he heard Verdo tell this story before, he also suspected that there was some deep meaning in it, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't seem to find any meaning.

Everything seemed to happen, but it didn't happen.

This is what Eden feels like.

The deputy priest was startled by the messenger's words, and then his face showed disappointment. But soon, he suddenly thought of something and his whole body started to tremble.

No, it can't be meaningless.

Don't just believe the superficial words. The messenger must have hidden some deep meaning inside. You must write them down intact!

In an instant,

The deacon felt that even though the messenger said, "I don't know what the meaning of this story is," in fact, even the sentence itself was meaningful.

Thinking of this, the deputy priest hurriedly praised the gods, and then praised the messenger of the King of Kings. Then he looked around the room and kept the layout in mind. He believed that the messenger's deep meaning was hidden in it. .

Finally, the deputy priest's eyes fell on Iden's sword, and after remembering it in his heart, he left.
