Chapter 7 God and the Church
"Isn't it really my bad luck?"

Shade speculated in his mind about the chance encounter with Dr. Schneider just now. Fortunately, the gu gu ~ of his stomach brought him back to reality, and now it is still the most important thing to entrust.

With less than twelve hours to go, Shade must learn to endure hunger. If he crossed into the forest, he might have a chance to hunt, and if it was a chaotic era, he might also have a chance to get food.

It is such a big city with order, and if you want to fill your stomach, you must obey the observe order. Shade stood at the door of the newspaper office, watching the clubs where the "gentlemen" entered and exited not far away, waiting for the hunger to pass. Fortunately, now he only needs to stand in the fog and wait. If he needs to pursue, he really has no choice.

"I've never heard of any transmigrator starving."

He wanted to complain about his incompetence, but the current situation was helpless, and he could only hope that the lady would appear soon, So that he can go and file a report with his employer.

Standing there thinking about something, someone handed a flyer, and Shade took it. Looking up, it was a smiling priest with a round face, wearing a white sacrificial robe, the holy emblem of the church on his left chest, and a black pendant hanging on his chest, distributing papers to the nearby crowd.

Looking down, what was stuffed into his hand was the church propaganda belonging to the [Church of War and Peace]. When Shade was looking for items in the house, he learned about the state of belief in this world, and knew that this was the righteous god. one of the churches.

In the past era of this world, there are quite a lot of stories of gods, but in the current era, only five gods are officially recognized by the government and the public. Therefore, the mainstream beliefs of the world are these five gods. God——

Peaceful Father, also known as [God of War and Peace], the holy emblem is a white dove, with light gray wings;
Mr. Dawn, also known as [God of Light and Shadow] ], the holy emblem is the upper notch ring, brass;

The old man with the lantern, also known as [Sun and Earth God], the holy emblem is the sun pattern, golden;

The creation lady , also known as [God of Creation and Destruction], the holy emblem is a wrench, white silver;
The Lord of all things, also known as [God of Nature and Evil Thought], the holy emblem is two overlapping leaves, a withered yellow , a piece of green. The old man who transported the body not long ago was a member of the Church of Nature.

"en? Why are the priesthoods preached by the gods all relative concepts?"

Thinking of this, Shade suddenly had more ideas about this world. But that kind of inexplicable feeling cannot be better expressed to myself. There seems to be some kind of power in the blur, and a whisper sounded in the ear:
[You feel 'Miracle'. ]

This time it is "Miracle", one of the four elements. So far, Shade has been exposed to all except [Blasphemy]. According to the information mentioned by the voice in his mind, it seems that only by touching the complete four elements is he qualified to touch the mysterious door and open the transcendent door.

"It seems to be simpler than I thought, and it only took me half a day to get in touch with three-quarters." It's really catchy.

The five Orthodox Churches are not hostile to each other, and their relationship with each other is at least much better than the relationship between the Human Kingdoms.

The strength of the church is different in different regions, and in the northern pearl city of Tobesque, there are five churches in the church, and there is a relatively "friendly" competition with each other.

Shade thought about these things, looked at the printed matter in his hand, and lamented that the printing press did not need to be "invented" by himself. Although the printing quality is not very high, at least.
I suddenly found important information when I stared at it. Most of the leaflets are to introduce the teachings of the righteous God [Peace and Loving Father], and believers and heretic are welcome to go to the church to listen to every message. Weekly scheduled Scripture Lecture and evangelistic events.

The important thing is that it says at the bottom of the paper that if you hold this flyer and queue up at the church gate at 5:30 pm on weekends, you can receive free food relief. And it was written in small print that no matter how long the line was, as long as you showed up before six o'clock, you would definitely be able to get the number plate and food.

Even if it's humiliating to pick up this kind of relief food, at least let Shade know that he's definitely not going to starve to death today. He touched his nose, wrote down the church address of [War and Peace Church], and then quite solemnly folded the heavily ink-scented flyer and put it in Mr. Hamilton's notepad.

I thanked the god in a low voice in my heart. Although the feeling of hunger has not subsided, at least I am in a much better mood.

"It's not too bad luck actually."

Shade thought to himself, knowing that once the Mrs. La Soya who was being investigated entered the club, it would not be an hour or two. When I came out, I wondered if I could chat with the priest.

This world belief in God is universal, and atheists are the minority among the minority. Of course, as long as you don't publicly shout that you don't trust God, it's fine, but Shade wants to know about these so-called righteous gods. In a world where belief exists, it is more dangerous to be ignorant of these things.

He was still thinking about how to talk to the other party, but the rumored priority had already gone a long way. I was very sorry, but I didn't catch up, but continued to stand there and wait. After all, when I got a firm footing, I had time to understand all this.

There are actually quite a few people standing at the door of the newspaper like him. Most of them are reporters waiting for news, and a few are idlers who work for the newspaper. Today is Saturday, even though the weather is foggy, Valente Pedestrian Street, which is the main road, is very lively, so it is not unusual for so many people to stand here.

Although it's called a "pedestrian street," it doesn't prohibit carriage. As Shade observes the club, he looks at the passing pedestrians and the carriage, which he thinks helps him fit in better.

There is a burning smell in the air, which of course is smog. But the smell wasn't heavy, just a mist that hung in the air, thickening as the sun moved from overhead to the west.

Shade was worried about his physical condition. In his thoughts, he saw another carriage parked in front of the club. Immediately looking up, it was Mr. Lawrence, the client's husband.

"Interesting, unexpected harvest."

He whispered, wrote down the current time, and wrote the information in a notebook.

The client, Mrs. Lawrence, made a lot of money. If on the day of submitting the report, she caught her husband and his lover having a tryst at the club, she might be able to pay more.

"But it's also possible that an angry woman is implicated in me."

Shade thought wildly, hoping to see Mrs. La Soya greet Mr. Lawrence at the door of the club, but it's a pity Lawrence The gentleman walked into the club by himself.

Even a block away, Shade could see the smile and excitement on Mr. Lawrence's face. He definitely didn't come to the club to play cards or drink tea.

"Good luck."

He said in his heart, shaking his head and making a detailed record of Mr. Lawrence's outfit today to prove the authenticity of his report.
