Mystery: Paradox Path - Chapter 464
Passing through the noisy commercial street, a river with a lot of water appeared in front of Snow, just like the Tussock River that traverses Backlund. It seems that the capitals of major countries in the world have such a big river that runs through the entire city. .
This river is called Selenzuo, and the two sides of the river grow different varieties of roses. Unlike the beggars in the commercial area, most of the people squatting on both sides of the road are bards with bagpipes and harps, or they are erected. The drawing board is a painter who paints for people.
Only by coming here can people feel the artistic atmosphere of Trier’s legend, but this is probably not because beggars and homeless don’t want to get close, nor because the artist’s fighting power is too amazing, but it is too close to the Cathedral of Light. ?
Not because of belief, of course, but because of…
“The land in this area belongs to the property of the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun, so the Cathedral of Holy Light will collect taxes on those who ‘occupy the road’ in the surrounding area.”
Yin Li’an pointed to the clergy who wore the emblem of the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun, and gave a somewhat speechless answer to Snow.
“As expected of the **** of business.” The corner of Snow’s mouth twitched slightly, looking at the Cathedral of Holy Light on Hexin Island. Compared with the relatively restrained St. Samuel Cathedral, this is not too much in nature. The large church looks extremely magnificent, full of Gothic Christian style, and at first glance it is an aesthetic left by the white building.
The pure white walls reflected golden light in the afterglow of the setting sun, and under the repeated refraction of the river water, a sacred halo was produced, as if the holy power was being spread all over the banks.
Snow’s eyes passed through the dazzling rays of light, examining the structure of the entire church, but helplessly found that the only way to the island in the center of the lake was a bridge in the center. possible.
“Fortunately, I didn’t plan to sneak in.” Snow walked along the river bank, occasionally buying a bunch of flowers with the girl who sold flowers, then rejecting their suggestive eyes, and continuing to measure the banks of the Serenzo River with his footsteps , but his eyes always stay on the clergy who collect taxes from street artists.
“Can these clergymen be accepted?” Snow looked at the dozen or so clergymen and asked the locals around him. Yin Li’an nodded lightly and said:
“This is the land that is watched by the gods, the eternal blazing sun is the **** of business and the **** of contracts. The business behavior carried out here is equivalent to the contract of ‘shop lease’, and no one can violate the contract with the true god. .”
“So the usual job of the ‘Daywalker’ is to collect taxes?” Snow looked at the Beyonders who were fiddling with the abacus and artists to collect money, and always felt that something was wrong. Did Roselle also come up with the abacus?
“There are also notaries, stock exchanges presided over transactions, shopping mall appraisers, pawnshop valuations… Now what you see are actually just ordinary people at the bottom, wait a while, those in the surrounding stock exchange centers, department stores and other places When the Extraordinary on duty gets off work, you will be able to see more official Extraordinary.”
Yin Li’an said that no matter how one listened, it should not be the occupation of an official Beyonder, which gave Snow a new understanding of how grounded the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun was.
“That is to say, the official Beyonders of the Church of the Sun will go to major commercial establishments to make money every day, and then return to the church before the sun goes down? The church doesn’t give them small fish?”
Lily asked in a low voice, Yin Li’an’s face darkened when he heard the words, and then explained:
“They are not going to make money, but to preach. For the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun, the development of business is the development of faith. Of course, there are also special combat teams. They are different from the ‘Daywalkers’ who are responsible for business during the day. The Lawful’, they have at least the level of Sequence Seven.”
“Is it an institution similar to the Red Gloves of the Church of the Night?” Snow looked at the clergy who opened their hands to protect the sun from time to time, and had a general idea in his heart. Yin Li’an nodded and shook his head again:
“In terms of strength, they are similar, but the night watchmen and red gloves of the Church of the Evernight are equivalent to the difference between the police and the special forces, while the daywalkers and law enforcement of the Church of the Eternal Sun are equivalent to the difference between civilians and combatants.”
“What about the battle configuration of the Lawmen? Usually a group of several people, do they carry a sealed item?” After Snow finished speaking, he waited for a while, but he didn’t get an answer. He immediately turned to look at Yin Li’an, only to find that he had a face on his face. Looking at myself helplessly:
“Master, I’m just a personal servant. Even before this, I was just a side child of the Sauron family. It’s good to know so much!”
“Okay…” Snow thought for a while, and then said:
“Come on, we’re going to Congressman Patrick’s dance later.”
…
The sky was getting darker, but the Versailles area was brightly lit. The lights of the villas illuminated the street scene outside the window, and dances came from different mansions, interweaving into a noisy movement.
However, this situation only occurs on the periphery of Versailles. The closer to the inner ring, the fewer villas holding dance parties, not because these high-class people have abandoned low-level taste, but because most of them get together in a certain villa. .
Snow took the invitation from Mr. A and brought Yin Li’an to Congressman Patrick’s house. It was different from Ruen’s strict rules and even asked the host to remember the preferences of each guest. Intis’s dance was more Casual, the dance party here adopts an invitation system. The host sends some invitations to friends he is familiar with, and then the friends decide who to invite. This often involves a series of exchange of interests, and spends money for an invitation that can meet a specific person. There are not a few businessmen with huge sums of money. In the eyes of some people, the dance party is actually a business.
In the eyes of the old Ruen Zhengmiqi, this is undoubtedly a vulgar behavior that is even more upstart than the upstart, but the Intis people are obviously more pragmatic. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
On the dance floor, women dressed in fancy dresses led men they knew or did not know, danced unusually bold dance steps, twisted their waists without any scruples, and some even disappeared on the dance floor together without waiting for the end of the dance. middle.
“Mr. Paradox, you don’t seem to be very comfortable with the Intis ball?” The lady who looked about twenty-eight put her body against Snow’s body and said with a smile on her face.
Snow nodded slightly, while stepping on the standard dance steps, he responded with a hint of embarrassment:
“I only recently came to Trier and have been living in Backlund…”
“No wonder, Intis is different from Loen. The girls here are very enthusiastic! Do you want me to teach you how to get along with the ladies of Intis?” The lady’s face was full of suggestion. With the expression on his face, Snow seemed to be forced by her to be a little helpless. Just after the end of a dance song, Snow let go of his hand apologetically and said:
“Sorry, Mrs. Morelde, I think I need to go to the bathroom.”
“It doesn’t matter, there is still time until the next dance.” Mrs. Morede blinked, not intending to follow along, which made Snow slightly relieved.
Following the guidance of the waiter, he came all the way to the door of the bathroom, and then suddenly said:
“You’re finally back meow! That woman’s perfume smell is too strong! Meow bears a lot of hard work!”
As the voice fell, the phantom of an angel appeared beside him. As the two slowly overlapped, his body gradually shrank, and finally turned into a black cat.
At the same time, the other Snow showed his body. He stretched out his arms to hug Lily and said with a smile:
“I know, I’ll go back and make boiled fish for you.”
“Boiled fish is so exciting! I want to eat sweet and sour fish!”
