Father Mavie

Chapter 115 The Evacuated Church (Please subscribe!!!)

“A macaron is a circle with a lace layer on the outside, a chocolate chip cookie has four dots in it, and a custard is a small square”

On the way back to the church, Junia held the record sheet and kept telling Ma Wei her own "words". Seeing her with relish, Ma Wei couldn't help but sigh.
Junia is seriously biased.
"Boss, I'll go find Gina at night." Levin took out a necklace out of nowhere and tied it on the border of the magic circle: "Persuade her to join the Church of Truth, so that the goddess can give her a gift gone?"

"Anyone who truly believes in the goddess will have the opportunity to receive gifts."

"That's good, that's good. Huh?" Levin suddenly thought of something: "Boss, the goddess is so close to you, you should be the one who has received the most gifts, but..."

After getting along for such a long time, Levin has also observed many details. For example, when Mavi uses his strength, he must always hold Junia's little hand, otherwise he is just an ordinary person.

This situation is in sharp contrast with the fat orange and little black, how can people not be confused?

"As I said, what I believe in is the truth."

Ma Wei touched Junia's head and said, "What father would believe in his daughter?"

"Then why do you still let believers follow the goddess? Isn't it better to directly believe in the truth?"

"Most people are blind, and it is difficult for them to firmly believe in some illusory things, so they need a god to guide them, so that when they encounter difficulties and setbacks, they will pray to the goddess instead of doubting themselves Do you understand?" Ma Wei explained: "Truth is the core idea of ​​the doctrine. If you want to show this idea and make believers cohere, you need to create a fixed and credible goal to give believers hope. "

"in short."

"It is to visualize the truth and present it to believers in the form of gods, so that they feel that they only need to follow the gods and make continuous progress."

"Well, it turns out that this is a simpler and easier-to-understand method of preaching." Levin suddenly realized: "No wonder other churches also like to invent a god. If you let me believe in you, I will think you have a brain problem. But if you let me believe in a certain god, I won't point the finger at you."

"That's right, it's a liability transfer mechanism."

"Before the god comes, this impure person is just fooling people!"

"Not really, because these things belong to one willing to fight and one willing to suffer." Ma Wei said with a smile: "Aside from some accidental factors of small probability, many believers actually know that the gods cannot provide him with any substantive help. , The reason why they are willing to continue their faith is because subconsciously, the gods have given them a sense of security, given them a glimmer of hope, and a glimmer of comfort after making mistakes."

"It's like a drowning person. He knows he's going to die soon, and his heart is full of panic, but at this moment, a voice tells him that as long as he prays to God, he can be saved. What will he do?"

"Perhaps God did not redeem him in the end, but before he died, through prayers, a little hope arose, diluting the fear of death, and in a sense, this also reduced his pain."

"Everyone needs hope. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, people can become strong and brave. The real despair is the darkest moment when you can't even see a little light. That is the double torture both psychologically and physically."

"So often the darker the age, the faster the church can develop."

Levin nodded slowly, and after pondering for a long time, he suddenly said, "I don't think it's better not to tell Gina about these things."

"It doesn't matter if you tell her. The past is the past, and now is the present. After the gods come, what I just said is no longer in line with the actual situation." , will also begin to give birth to faith, and the next era is destined to be the era when theocracy reaches its peak."

The three of Ma Wei had just stepped on the stone steps in front of the church when they saw Kasim standing at the door and looking around.

"Father! You are back!"

"What happened?"

"A maid named Beth sent a letter just now, saying that there is something very important."

Walking into the church, Kasim immediately took out a letter painted with wax. There was no sign on the envelope, and there was no name for the letter, but Mavi knew.
Beth is the housemaid of the Rickman family, and she was the one who sent her the invitation yesterday.

After tearing off the sealing paint, Mavie took out the only piece of paper in the envelope and read it quickly.
Before he could speak, a puppet cat suddenly jumped onto the window, looked at Fat Ju lying on the edge of the window sill with big eyes, and then at the believers and Kasim in the church, and was in a dilemma for a while.

Fat Ju jumped off the window sill, stretched his waist, and ran out of the gate in a flash. At the same time as he disappeared, the puppet cat by the window also disappeared.

"fine."

Ma Wei closed the letter, smiled, and put away the letter paper: "Mr. Sean wanted to invite us to have dinner at a newly opened Sardinian restaurant on Ross Avenue in order to thank you for the work of eradicating rats in the past few days."

Of course, Levin didn't believe what he said. Fat Ju, who left suddenly, and Beth, who came again.
Something big must have happened to New Ross City!
"Kasim, leave the church to me. You send these ingredients to the kitchen. There are seasonings and jams that Mrs. Cecil asked for."

"it is good."

After taking the oil paper bag in Levin's arms, Kasim walked into the small door on the side of the statue. After he left, Mavi took off his coat and began to receive the believers.

When it was lunch time, no other believers came to the door. After solving the problem of the last person, Fat Ju and Levin immediately gathered around.

"Boss, what happened just now?"

"problem occurs."

"Don't worry, come one by one, Fat Ju, what happened?"

"Just received the information that the three big churches of Wisdom, Judgment, and Abundance in New Rose City are packing up, and they seem to be planning to leave New Rose City." Fat Orange said with a serious expression: "They want Run away!"

"Well, as expected. Levin, what did you just say?"

"I said, didn't Miss Beth send a letter? What's in it, doesn't it really invite us to have dinner together?"

"of course not."

Ma Wei shook his head and said: "The letter was written by His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince. Bishop Fowler wanted to take away the actual control of New Rose City. His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince disagreed. After some negotiations, the other party made a condition. As long as His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince agrees, New Rose City will still be under our control."

"What conditions?"

"Marry the Virgin of Wexford, Evelyn."

"Marriage?" Levin frowned: "This is not a trivial matter. Once he agrees, the situation of His Highness the Fourth Prince will become extremely difficult. He agreed?"

"Well, there is no other better choice."

Ma Wei said in a deep voice:

"If he disagrees, Bishop Fowler will intervene in the affairs of New Rose City. The biggest threat to us is the upcoming establishment of the Religious Affairs Bureau. Otherwise, the Religious Affairs Bureau will be under the control of His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, thereby protecting the truth. Believers of the Church."

"he"

"This is a dead end."
