Father Mavie

Chapter 18 News of the War (Please ask for tickets!!!)

"Bills Barber, in the name of the priest, I officially baptize you."

Ma Wei held the porcelain bowl in one hand, dipped some holy water in the other, flicked his fingertips, and some drops of water fell on the man in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, he began to circle the man, stopping once in each of the four directions, front, back, left, and right, repeating the operation just now, and finally returned to the front.

"May the goddess protect you, and go forward bravely on the path of seeking the truth."

The man lowered his head and let Ma Wei's palm dipped in holy water press on his forehead, then straightened his waist, put his left hand on his chest, and said softly: "Truth is supreme."

At this point, the baptism ceremony is over.

The man who completed the baptism formally became a believer in the Church of Truth. He took out a few copper pennies and threw them into the copper cage in front of the statue, and left happily.

This is already the 58th believer that Mavi has baptized today.

His speech was very effective and attracted countless passers-by, and he believed that what can make people yearn for must be the truth.

The charm of truth is so great.

After recording the funds donated by the man in the believer's register, Ma Wei looked at the next man: "What's your name?"

"My name is Dion Bellomo, Father."

"Are you willing to follow the truth?"

"I am willing."

"Very well, Dion Bellomo, I will officially baptize you in the name of the priest."

A new round of baptism started again, Gray Wolf Dino sat in the corner of the church, watched this scene with a smile, and waited patiently.

Near noon, when the sun was rising, Junia, who had just woken up, rubbed her eyes and came down wearing a white cotton pajamas. Seeing that her father was still busy, she obediently sat on the chair behind Ma Wei and played with the little bear in her hand .

until 1pm.
Ma Wei sent away the last believer.

"it is finally over"

He put down the porcelain bowl containing the holy water and slumped on the bench, his tired shoulders almost unable to lift.

"father!"

Junia ran to him very happily: "Younia's strength has increased again! It's about to reach the critical point!"

"critical point?"

Ma Wei wondered: "Is there an upper limit to your strength?"

"Younia is not very clear about the specific details." Younia shook her head: "But Younia can feel that as long as the power of faith given by believers reaches a certain amount, Younia will become stronger !"

A small church that has only been established for three years must not be able to compare with those large churches that have hundreds of thousands of years old. Ma Wei also knows in his heart that he is not even an entry-level church in terms of understanding of gods.

More information about the gods needs to be obtained from insiders.

"Father."

Just as Ma Wei was thinking, a shadow enveloped him, and along with it came the strong and pungent smell of perfume.

"Dino, your taste in perfume is still as bad as ever." He said without looking back.

"Difference?"

Gray Wolf Dino sniffed his wolf fur jacket and muttered, "This is the most popular cinnamon pepper rose essential oil in the upper class! I'm very fashionable, okay?"

"The smell on you reminds me of roasted whole lamb in a bath sprinkled with rose petals."

"."

The corners of his mouth twitched, and Gray Wolf Dino couldn't refute. He sat down beside Ma Wei with a dark face, glanced at Junia beside him, and asked, "Who is this beautiful lady?"

"My daughter, Nia."

"You who have never been close to women, where did your daughter come from?"

"First of all, it's not that I'm not close to women, it's just that I haven't met anyone I like. Secondly," Ma Wei said calmly, "Is it strange that I have a daughter?"

"Strange, of course it's strange, it's just too strange, isn't it?"

Looking at Junia who was shrinking behind her father, Gray Wolf Dino snorted and smiled: "From the outside, your daughter looks like our beautiful and handsome Eastern Slavs, but you are an authentic Celtic. You can't match people's appearance. You can't lie to me, she is not your own at all."

Ma Wei touched his cheek subconsciously. To be honest, he was not sensitive to the differences in the looks of different ethnic groups, but the grocer who traveled around all the year round could tell the clues at a glance.

"Is appearance important?" Ma Wei asked back: "Whether there is blood relationship or not, she is my daughter."

"Whatever you say."

"You are not a church believer, what are you doing here?"

"Hey, hey, don't drive people away just because you disagree!" Gray Wolf Dino smacked his lips: "I came to church to find you."

"Why, come to me and ask for bottle money?"

".Do you remember what I said when I left the church?"

"Of course, you said that from now on, if you have something, I will also have it."

"This is a promise." Gray Wolf Dino put away his smile and said seriously, "My promise to you."

"Last night you said you were a businessman."

"Yes, I'm a businessman, but I'm not a villain. People say that I'm as cunning and treacherous as a wolf, but those tricks are used by outsiders. To you, my friend, I can always use them." Treat each other with sincerity!"

"So the purpose of your coming today is to tell me this?"

"No, I'm here to tell you I'm leaving."

Ma Wei turned his head, his tone became more serious: "Where are you going?"

"Go home, go back to my hometown"

Looking at the statue bathed in the sun, Gray Wolf Dino rarely showed nostalgia, and said with some emotion: "This morning, I received a gossip that the Kingdom of Windsor will soon declare war on the Kingdom of Romanov. .”

"Declaration of war?"

Frowning deeply, Ma Wei asked: "Why do you want to declare?"

The sound stopped abruptly.

Ma Wei suddenly remembered the development history of the Romanov Kingdom.

The Kingdom of Romanov was formally established 200 years ago. The first king was Mikhail Romanov. This man was clever, but he relied too much on the church, which caused the kingdom to fall into corruption for more than 100 years. The situation of lazy government, all kinds of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes continue, and the people suffer unspeakably.

And his fifth successor, Peter I, started to reform immediately after assuming the throne, and used iron fists to completely wash the Romanov Kingdom with blood, which directly led to the disappearance of the Apocalypse God Sect that originally belonged to the Romanov Kingdom.

The kingdom has finally reached its peak in the hands of Peter I, and its strength is growing stronger and stronger, but they have no state religion!

Not only is there no state religion, even small churches are not allowed to exist in the territory of the Romanov Kingdom!
In the past, this kind of decision-making is certainly not a problem, but now the gods have descended, and the Romanov dynasty without the church.
Wouldn't it be a persimmon?
More importantly.
Peter I, who was awarded the title of Great Emperor, died of illness three years ago, and his successor was his young son Paul I. Paul I obviously did not have the iron hand of Peter the Great. It has been rumored among the people that he is a monarch with abnormal mental behavior and eccentric behavior. We don't know the specifics, but Paul I was definitely not as popular as his father.

On the contrary, Paul I's sister, Katerina, is said to be a once-in-a-century talent
"I'm not particularly clear about the reason for the declaration of war, but the news must be true."

Gray Wolf Dino smiled helplessly: "My hometown is in trouble, how can I stand by and watch? So I decided to sell all my property and go back to my hometown."

As he spoke, he stood up, stretched his muscles, and recovered a little bit of his mood: "Of course, it is impossible to fight a war as soon as you say it, and it is impossible for me to sell all my properties tomorrow, at least I will stay here for half a day." more than a month."

"During this period, if you have any difficulties or troubles, Father, just come to me."

"okay, I get it."
