　　 "The priest is here!"

　　 When such a shout erupted from the audience, everyone looked at the door of the church.

　　 Wearing a long white garment that symbolizes the holiness and innocence of the soul, and wearing a holy belt that represents the "Yoke of God" on his shoulders, Todd slowly walked up the stairs along the stairs. Looking up, he was slightly dizzy with hundreds of faces with different expressions in front of him.

Closed his eyes and settled, Todd squeezed the palm of his hand secretly with his nails, then opened his eyes and shouted at the people with his loudest volume: "Lambs of God, children of the highest. Today we gather here to hold This "Tea Talk" is to promote the goodness and love of the salvation God!"

　　 Someone whispered in the audience. It turned out that after a long time of trouble, the "tea party" was a church evangelistic meeting, but there was something to eat and drinks to drink. But soon, the priest's next speech completely subverted their judgment.

"I looked at the history of this land under my feet, and it was shocking! With the increasingly frequent wars, the piled-up bones, and the uninhabited wilderness, the dignitaries ignored the admonitions of the heavenly Father and the dissuasion of the church, and regarded power and life as a game. , Using soldiers and weapons as a bargaining chip. Before the light of "Father's Radiance", deliberately pretend to be blind and blind. What a desolate and sad thing this is!"

　　 The priest's words stunned everyone, which was completely different from the preaching they imagined. There is no bible story, no prayer of salvation, and he actually aimed the spearhead at the Kingdom of Silver Ring.

Todd's speech is not over yet: "Some of you have fled to this point because you can't bear the tax burden, and some have left their homes because of being bullied. Who took you in in times of crisis, gave you shelter, and gave you food? Yes. Good and loving heavenly Father! Who saved you from taxation and free from servitude, and gave you the paradise of "Musi Town"? He is the servant of the heavenly Father-the most holy, holy, and catholic church! "

　　 The believers under the stage recalled their experiences in their hometown. The lord launched a war and imposed heavy taxes. The nobles used power for personal gain to oppress the good. Some shed tears, and some echoed loudly.

　　 Raising his hand to the far east, the priest said to the sun: "The Almighty and Noble Lord, whoever believes in him, love and obey, everyone is equal. Amen!"

　　 The people of Muxi Town bowed their heads piously and crossed them and said in unison: "Amen!"

　　 For Todd, this speech was a difficult "stand in line".

　　The differences between the church and the Silver Ring Kingdom are getting bigger and bigger. This is an indisputable fact. There are two specific things that can be seen: the fight for control of the San Sidro Monastery, and the crystal relics were robbed of the first time they entered Silver Ring City. When he thought about it, these events were merely appearances. In fact, the biggest contradiction between the church and the kingdom should be the silver mines in the North Quarry. According to the records of the monastery library, the Silver Ring Kingdom is the richest country among the many kingdoms in the west. The income from the North Stone Mine accounted for almost two-thirds of the total income of the Silver Ring Kingdom, and the kingdom’s annual contribution to the church’s wealth is still less than 1% of the total income. How can this not make the church angry?

When he was in the monastery, Todd, as a monk, was still in the "Ascetic" and "Ecclesias", both in the spring and innocent, one is because people are light-hearted, and the Silver Ring Kingdom and the Heavenly Father Church are not treated to him. Very concerned; secondly, because the monastery itself does not participate in the struggle between the church and the secular, it has played a certain buffer role.

　　 But in Muxi Town, the situation is completely different. With the advent of crystal sacred objects, increasing population concentration, and growing industry, this coastal town will undoubtedly become the focus of attention of the church and the Silver Ring Kingdom in the future. The past way of betting on both sides has become extremely unrealistic.

　　 Todd fully considered the origin, position, experience, and power comparison, and finally decided to choose the church as the object of the "Tea Party", and this "tea party" speech was the first step.

　　 After finishing talking about "Standing in Line", he intends to start talking about the topic.

　　 gestured, he let the representative of the farmers, Sassoon, step onto the high platform.

　　 The old man climbed up tremblingly and looked at the crowds of people in the audience, his lips trembling and his legs fighting. The lines that I had repeatedly confirmed and prepared with the priest were unable to recite a single word that was unexpectedly nervous on the court.

　　 Todd frowned deeply, originally intending to let the old farmer talk about his tragic situation and win the sympathy of the residents of Muxi Town. Now it seems that this thing has to be done by yourself.

"The residents of Muxi Town, while you are enjoying life, there is a group of poor people living by your side, struggling between survival and death. A few days ago, they borrowed money to buy seeds and worked hard. All the hard-grown crops died in the fields.” Todd pointed to Sassoon, who buried his head in his chest, and singled out the tragic incidents of the farmers and said one or two representative ones.

　　 Amidst the sighs of surprise, pity, and sadness from the audience, Todd's next sentence scared everyone to their feet.

　　 "But I don't think they deserve sympathy!"

　　 The people opened their eyes, some reached out their hands to support their foreheads, and some opened their mouths wide. They couldn't imagine that the priest, who was known for his kindness and humility in the past, would speak bad words to a group of humble farmers!

After a pause, Todd looked around the expressions of the people in the audience, nodded and continued: "Because when they are working, they only think about food and clothing and harvest, but they have forgotten the duty of a believer-pious , Forget what kind of place "Musi Town" is. This is a refuge granted by the church to believers, and it is also a place of miracles given by the Father to their children!"

　　The place of miracles?

　　People began to talk about this term out loud~www.readwn.com~ Some people began to question the priest's statement, but there were also pious people who firmly believed that as long as the son Todd said, then it must be true.

　　 In the wave of human voices, a group of catechumens in the church moved a wooden table covered with white cloth on the high platform.

　　 Todd walked down from the high platform and walked to the well on the square. The crowd followed in his footsteps and automatically separated a road and merged. He shook the wooden handle next to the well, and under everyone's gaze, he drew a half bucket of water from the well, refused the help of the believers, and lifted his hands on the high platform with difficulty.

　　 He put the bucket to his feet, grabbed the white cloth with both hands, and opened it. On the white table cloth was a gray pot, about twenty centimeters high and piled with dirt.

"I know some of you doubt Heavenly Father's blessing to "Music Town", doubt whether piety can really create miracles. Words have no intention, I can prove everything to you with facts." After saying this, Todd Use a wooden spoon to scoop up the well water and pour it down along the edge of the earthenware basin.

　　 In less than 30 seconds, some people who were closer to the high platform suddenly shouted loudly behind them: "It has sprouted! The plants in the pot have sprouted!"

　　 The shocked people stood up and squeezed toward the high platform like a tide.

In the 　　 tile pot, two tender green leaves sandwiched the flower buds, drilled out of the soil, and grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.

　　 Todd poured water on the plant in the center of the flowerpot, and the holy white smoke floated from the flowerpot to the air. The buds gradually bloomed, giving birth to a small light blue flower.

　　 "The place of miracles!"

　　 was a low voice first, then a cry, and finally the whole square fell into a carnival.

　　 Our Muxi Town is a sacred place blessed by Heavenly Father!
