This is the consensus of many people.

Whether it is white bread or black bread made of dark wheat bran, Europeans need a lot of bread.

No one knows why everyone has sheep but no mutton, and why everyone can farm but no bread.The Holy See of Destiny is plundering people's last bit of wealth, and the price is only a ridiculous and pitiful belief.

Xia Chen watched silently as people continued to die from the Black Death.

He once heard a nun ask another clergyman: "What if we do this and everyone dies?"

The cleric was surprised: "How could they all die? Human life is like bugs, which are always fragile and hard to exterminate."

This is the attitude of the Holy See towards people in this era.

Human life is too fragile, but it has always been tenacious.So they squeezed as much as they could.

The destiny of this era has a grand goal, which is to make the whole world worship at their feet.For this reason, they did not hesitate to prepare for the Eastern Expedition in the era of the Black Death.

And Xia Chen's duty is also very simple, that is to 'sell' indulgences.

Inflicts cruel divine punishment on pagans who do not want to buy indulgences.

Of course he wouldn't do that.

After the church gave him the indulgence note, he threw it aside. As for the money handed over to the church, Xia Chen gave a simple answer: "All the areas I have sold have been sold by people before. They said they used rat meat I found it disgusting to exchange coupons, so I didn’t accept it.”

The people in this land are almost too poor to squeeze out oil and water, so it is understandable to return without success.

In fact, he is not the only one who said that, but there are also a few people complaining that the poor people's oil and water are clean, and they should sell indulgences to the rich.

But no one will.

The reason why the destiny is so stable is because the children of those rich people hold the priesthood in the Holy See.

When a person has cancer, no matter how fast the cancer cells grow, the cancer cells will cool down after death.However, Tianming at this time did not understand this truth, and insisted on exhausting the water.

On the first night when he came here, he fell asleep with countless mourning and howling.

The night in this city is like a night of ghosts.

-

The Black Death is still raging.

The so-called isolation does not exist in this era, but the rich have consciously avoided activities outside.

The small merchant has gone bankrupt, and in order to survive, he has to find a loan from the Holy See staff.And the collateral they can pay is undoubtedly real estate.

If the real estate mortgage is not enough, then it is the wife and children.

In this era, people are also collateral, and the price is clearly marked in the Holy See.

"What a disgusting world."

The more Xia Chen understands this era, the more he feels physiological nausea.

People in the Middle Ages couldn't imagine the barbarism of primitive people, and people in modern times can't understand the cold blood of people in the Middle Ages either.This kind of hell-like picture scroll actually made him have a kind of expectation of 'quickly let Honkai end everything'.

Today he was assigned to sell indulgences again.

And because it was not sold yesterday, the task on him has increased again.

The so-called indulgences are nothing but inferior bamboo paper.Xia Chen was naturally too lazy to sell these, but the church was too noisy, so he could only come out for a walk.

This time, he smelled the meat buns again.

Karen had already prepared, the cart behind was full of white flour and meat buns, and there were more people around her helping her distribute food to these poor people.

Those people are like mice or cockroaches, and they attract friends when they see food.

Xia Chen stopped at the spot, looking at the big cart full of steamed stuffed buns, which were quickly consumed.

Yet people seem to be hungrier.

"Please...please..."

"I haven't eaten yet!"

"Give me another..."

People were crying and wailing. For some reason, there were so many thin people in front of them, but Kallen, the powerful Kaslana family, couldn't help but retreat.

She is not afraid of them.

But she is afraid of herself and it is difficult to change the status quo.

Not far away, another clergyman walked up to Xia Chen and commented on Karen with a sneer: "What's the use? The Kaslana family will also share part of the money collected from these poor ghosts. Now Such hypocrisy, if you have the ability, you won't charge a penny."

Despicable people always want to drag noble people into the water, and if it is difficult to drag them into the water, they will still pretend to be hypocritical and eccentric.

This world is already turbid, why are you so noble?

Xia Chen was silent about this.

It is too difficult for good people in this era to do some things, and it is too easy for bad people to do some things.But what is surprising is that good people are different, and everyone should be in the same boat.

Seeing that there were more and more people surrounding Karen, the guards of the Kaslana family also aimed at these people with knives and guns.

Kallen took a deep breath, as if promising something, but there was nowhere to retreat.

Xia Chen sighed slightly, again like yesterday, manipulating the fluid and using the hurricane to disperse the crowd.

The ignorant people would naturally run away when they saw the hurricane, and even members of the Kaslana family urged Karen to leave.

When the hurricane dies down, the streets are deserted.

Xia Chen couldn't help shaking his head, and then left.

On the same day, he heard from other people that Karen had a dispute with the Bishop of Destiny, and was locked up by the old Patriarch of the Kaslana family and returned home.

Correspondingly, there was no bread on the second day.

People waited here for a long time, only the Kaslana family sent black bread made of wheat bran, and the rest had nothing.

They are cursing, complaining, and howling.

They are looking for salvation.

Xia Chen suddenly realized the frightening aspect of this 'collapse'.

Although there is no Herrscher or Houkai Beast, a plague will completely release the darkness in human hearts.It is hard to imagine that in the hundreds of years after the Middle Ages, human civilization was as brilliant as a pearl.

This era is an era where the dawn cannot be seen.

These repressed and crazy despairs are enough to give birth to a brand new and terrifying Herrscher.

How will this incident end?Was the Black Death eradicated?Or are people saved?

Xia Chen didn't know.

He stood in the church and listened to the priest's prayers. Those gods who were not believed in became very useful tools.The more pious the people here, the more disgusting they are.

Just then, he saw an acquaintance.

The bishop of destiny also came to the Holy See with his two sons.The Otto who had mastered everything in his impression was just a weak, even shy boy at the moment.

The priest of the Holy See nodded and bowed to the Catholic Bishop. I am afraid that even the gods may not make him so pious.

Xia Chen was watching Otto, and Otto seemed to feel something, and looked towards him.

Fortunately, the beak mask makes it impossible to see the face, although it doesn't matter if it is seen.

Chapter 9 Simulation, Dawn in the Darkness

Xia Chen didn't know what the Bishop of Destiny came here and said. Not long after he left, his day's work was over.

However, just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by the priest of the Holy See.

"You still haven't sold any of today's indulgences."

"This piece of land has been plundered by the Holy See hundreds of times, and the oil and water are gone, let's change to another piece of land next time." Xia Chen said indifferently, and didn't care whether he contradicted him: "If you want money, it's better to change to another land." Search the place slowly."

"Okay."

The potbellied priest said to him, "There's a place for you to loot."

"Tomorrow you will sell the indulgences to the Kaslana family."

Xia Chen: "???"

"Father, are you serious?"

In the past two days, he also understood how high the Kaslana family's prestige among the people was, and it also held an extremely important position in the destiny.Asking the Kaslana family for money is because the people in the church don't want to...

Wait, no.

This priest still knows his character. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is greedy for life and afraid of death, and he will not take risks for some money.

Obviously, it was Nicholas, the Catholic bishop who came today, who promised something to this priest.

Perhaps the behavior of the Kaslana family made the nobles dissatisfied, or it was just a simple temptation.

In short, no matter which one it is, it means that a power struggle is about to start.

The priest stared at Xia Chen with squinted eyes: "When did I tell a lie?"

"Yes, while praying."

Xia Chen pointed to the enshrined cross.

He said casually: "I don't guarantee success."

"Then you wait to leave the Holy See. At this time, apart from the Holy See, where else can I protect you?"

The priest's words were menacing, but not harsh.Apparently he also knew how difficult it was to get Xia Chen to do this.

To offend Nicholas is to offend the destiny, but to offend Kaslana is not to offend the destiny?Nicholas can throw out the Holy See when the situation is not good, so what should he do?

Xia Chen said casually: "Whatever."

"Forget it, I don't ask you how much money you want, but you must go to the Kaslana family tomorrow, even if you only sell a penny of indulgences."

The priest relaxed the conditions.

Xia Chen said casually: "I won't do things that ask me to die, you can find someone else."

He went straight away.

The priest was furious: "You will never come back!"

-

After leaving the Holy See, Xia Chen took off the bird beak mask, and there was a trace of bewilderment in his eyes.

In this era, he neither has the spell to conjure food out of thin air, nor does he have superior wisdom. Even if he has an excellent ability to resist Honkai, it is actually of little use.

He didn't even know what he was supposed to do or how to do it.

Xia Chen couldn't help thinking, if there is more than one way of Honkai, then the temperature will rise infinitely, or decrease infinitely... How should human beings preserve the fire of civilization under extreme conditions?

Mining leylines, looking for geothermal heat?

He shook his head.

Why bother with problems that don't exist?

For some reason, Xia Chen suddenly felt that his brain was a little groggy, and at this moment the sky outside had turned into pitch black.

"This power..."

"Crash?"

The familiar force forced him to think, Xia Chen bit the tip of his tongue lightly, and then rushed towards the source of Honkai.

It was a Herrscher, the little girl who was still catching mice three days ago.

At this time, she was still holding a mouse in her hand, and beside her were people who had fallen in all directions.

Xia Chen sighed slightly.

"This damn world."

-

The source of the Honkai was quickly cleaned up, as if nothing had happened.

People just found a few more bodies, which is all too common in this city.The priests of the Holy See said that this land is a land protected by the gods, but those who have lost hope feel that it is more like a land abandoned by the gods.
