Chapter 108: The Cathedral (Bonus for 600 average subscriptions)

~7 min read 1,335 words

After the three social dances passed, the banquet entered a more relaxed phase.

Some gentlemen took the handkerchiefs left behind by the ladies they had danced with and began their hunt for romance that night, following the contact information written on them.

Other gentlemen gathered in twos and threes, chatting about the recent weather, the movements of the Royal Family, and commercial intelligence.

More gentlemen gathered around the host of the banquet, William Mark, to taste the New Continent cigars he had brought.

"Allow me to introduce to everyone, this is our traveler—Mr. Aaron Yugesi!"

William Mark held a thick cigar while introducing him to the guests.

"Our Green Forest Cathedral's choir is very famous. Aaron, you can stay and listen to the beautiful singing voices of the little Angels..."

Aaron came to an empty bench, closed his eyes, and clasped his hands together, as if in Prayer.

As a former lord, seeing heretics harming his subjects and removing them on a whim was almost an Instinct.

"Turn left!"

"Turn right!"

"Doctor Hannibal, I have seen the notice for your public surgery in the newspaper, it is just a pity that something came up at the last minute, and I was unable to attend..."

Chris Tuoya's eyes lit up when he saw him.

For example... carrying a part of the deceased with them or keeping it at home; for example... enjoying visiting various bloody and terrifying exhibitions, which include public surgeries, visiting mental hospitals, and even visiting execution sites.

Aaron bluffed casually.

He asked curiously.

At the same time, he was also introducing other people to Aaron.

At this moment, his expression was solemn, completely different from the drunken state of last night, and he wore a golden Holy Emblem on his chest, featuring the symbol of the trinity of the sun, moon, and stars.

"Sir?"

Aaron answered with his hand on his chest, his every move impeccable.

"This is the Green Forest Cathedral!" the carriage driver replied respectfully.

Aaron went with the flow and came to the front.

"Can!"

Aaron went out early in the morning, took a pre-booked carriage, and arrived at the Green Forest Cathedral.

Of course, the most important thing was not listening to the priest's sermon, but—donating money!

"I have recently had the intention..."

"May the Holy Spirit protect you." Cleric Chris replied with a church salute, while introducing to Aaron: "This is the Cleric in charge of the choir—Nicholas Inamu!"

And his feelings for this land were also very complicated.

"Advance!"

But in reality... after so many years of intermarriage, even within the Invis nobility and the Royal Family, there might be the bloodline of the Sotos Family.

He looked to be under thirty, with golden curly hair, a warm smile, a medium build, clear eyes, and a magnetic voice: "Good day, Cleric Chris."

Aaron politely took his leave, glanced in the direction of Liliyat Doren, held a slender cane inlaid with White Crystal, and remained silent.

Late at night.

After the carriage continued on, he stroked the crystal on his cane and muttered to himself: "Hiding inside the Green Forest Cathedral?"

"The Lord dwells high above the firmament, He governs the sun, the moon, and the stars..."

"That would truly be my honor."

Chris immediately called over a servant, gave an order, and led Aaron toward the depths of the cathedral himself.

The two walked through a long corridor, and suddenly a young Cleric walked toward them.

Chris Tuoya smiled and said: "I wonder if you have any interest in the Green Forest Cathedral; I am willing to serve as your guide."

Doctor Hannibal responded gently.

The next day.

Aaron opened the carriage window and saw the towering Gothic architecture, carrying a rich religious style.

Inside the carriage, Aaron took out the Secret Transmission of the Song of the Worker Insect, then used his cane as a ritual tool to begin divining the whereabouts of the person who had handed the Secret Transmission to Jack.

Chris Tuoya said sincerely: "I believe the priests there can also provide great comfort to lost souls."

The carriage driver asked softly.

Just like a farmer would instinctively crush the pests on a wheat stalk!

At the same time, it was only natural that Aaron felt at ease taking as much money as he wanted, because the subjects' money was the lord's money!

Even all the subjects were the lord's property; they were just like a farmer's wheat!

"But this world has changed after all."

Aaron replied calmly.

Besides... it is unknown if the true Sotos Diji line has even been severed.

Worth doing a job!

"The Holy Spirit exists in the heart of each of us; He opened up the world and created life..."

"Don't go back yet, just drive straight ahead."

People in this world have a strange concept; they do not seem to fear death, and even appreciate it.

Chris Tuoya was a fat man in his forties, with a bloated figure, a large Ruby Ring on his right index finger, and gorgeous clothing, full of the aura of a nouveau riche.

Aaron nodded: "Alright... let's go back!"

"Of course, it is the great Holy Spirit..."

"It just so happens that Chris Tuoya will take you tomorrow; observe for a while first."

"Aaron, I shall just call you Aaron; you are indeed a devout believer of our Lord!"

Aaron wore a smile on his face, his gaze sweeping over Chris Tuoya and Hannibal.

The Clerics of this era seem quite wealthy, too.

Aaron felt a bit conflicted at this moment.

Aaron sighed softly in his heart.

Theoretically speaking, if he truly wanted to restore his family's glory, he would first have to destroy all the official organizations in Green Forest City and then go to war with the Invis Kingdom.

Hannibal, on the other hand, was dressed appropriately; he was in his thirties, with bright eyes and a resolute face, possessing a calm temperament, as if nothing could surprise him.

Aaron sighed and said to the doctor.

He was dropping heavy hints that Aaron should go to this cathedral for worship activities.

"Where is this?"

Inside the church, Chris Tuoya, dressed in a black Cleric's robe, was preaching.

"Oh, it really is here; I have to come for worship tomorrow... I'll just take a look tonight."

"Mr. Yugesi, what is your faith?"

When the worship ended, a line of believers stepped forward to donate money at the donation box.

"That would be wonderful! Although the local Saint Avalon Cathedral is not yet completed, there are other churches, such as the Green Forest Cathedral!"

In short, he did not look like a servant of God at all.

"Stop!"

"There will always be opportunities in the future."

Hannibal—a well-known surgeon.

Chris Tuoya—a Cleric of the Holy Spirit Church.

At this moment, the chubby Chris Tuoya spoke up to ask, his nose shining with grease.

It was a fake anyway, just like the Green Banyan Tree Grandmother from back then; one had to pretend to believe a little, otherwise, it would be easy to feel out of place with others.

After the dinner party ended, William Mark and his wife stood at the entrance, hand in hand, respectfully seeing off the guests one by one.

Looking at such a money-grubbing Cleric, he suddenly thought that in ancient times, the wealthiest people were often the nobility and religious figures.

"That's great! How about tomorrow? Tomorrow happens to be the day I lead the worship, and I can take you on a tour of the entire Green Forest Cathedral while I'm at it."

Boke Nanu—a senior employee of the city government.

Aaron also smiled very brightly.

After much tossing and turning, the carriage stopped in front of a building.

Aaron smiled, took out his wallet, counted out 10 pounds in banknotes, and placed them into the donation box.

Chris Tuoya's eyes lit up.

This was somewhat frustrating.

"Cleric Inamu!"

Aaron looked at this young Cleric, and his Spirituality was suddenly stirred.
