Chapter 64 The Cunning of the Clergy
"Everyone is quiet, quiet." The old bishop Keane raised his hand and suppressed the chaotic voices that were mixed together while whispering hundreds of people, and raised his voice and said: "Although it has been a long time, some of the church members here should still remember these two children, sisters Helena and Betty, and my only two students. In recent times, many church members who have only been transferred back here from other parishes in recent years have mentioned that they have intentionally or unintentionally established the Lord as soon as possible when chatting with me in private.
I understand the good intentions of teaching heirs. For a large-scale church, it is very important for the Archbishop to have a clear heir at my age, and it can avoid many unnecessary conflicts. However, I understand, but I did not accept it. In fact, the church members who have worked in the Holy Land for more than ten years should be very clear in their hearts, because I have already had a candidate for heirs in my heart. Oh, now you should easily guess that it is these two children."
There were waves of buzzing whispers in the restaurant again, and there was a trend of gradually expanding. The arrangement of banquets in the Earth Church seemed very interesting, and seemed to be different from the banquet modes in most Yara Worlds. In most areas, when holding such large banquets, there were often no fixed seats, and the food was placed in the middle, and some seats were placed in the corners of the wall. After choosing the food in the middle, people who wanted to eat formally walked to the unobtrusive corners to enjoy, while most people who were unintentional to eat just holding wine in their hands, walking back and forth everywhere, and having a brief communication with familiar or wanted to contact. For the organizer, this banquet method can save a lot of trouble
For example, there is no need to bother to worry about whether the status and seating of the participants are consistent, nor do you need to consider the relationship and identity gap between the adjacent participants. Therefore, it is deeply loved by the organizers. Moreover, for the participants, the loose banquet form also brings more opportunities to people whose purpose is not on food, whether it is to seek cooperation or take the opportunity to win over allies. Even just to pursue a romantic encounter with the smell of perfume, it is much more convenient than the traditional and old-fashioned banquet form. Therefore, over the past three hundred years, it has gradually become the standard banquet method for the upper class in Yara. Even some churches like to use this form in banquets.
However, the Earth Church did not follow this habit this time. The reason is actually very simple, it is different. The purpose of most banquets is not at the banquet, but to other people participating in the banquet. However, the Earth Church is different. The main purpose of their holding this banquet is to get together and have a good meal. As for what heirs establish and what sages return, those irrelevant trivial matters are not too late to think about them after they have a good meal. Therefore, today's banquet adopts a very traditional arrangement, with a large table in the center of the restaurant, which is the Archbishop, the Prophet and several church leaders, who are the Archbishop, the Prophet and several high-ranking churches.
At the level, Betty and Lina naturally have to be with the Archbishop, and they are the protagonists of today's banquet. Well, of course, they are the protagonists except for food. Around the main seat in the center, there are about twenty long tables placed in a circle, and all the participants are sitting around the table. The chefs have already distributed the rich food to the tableware in front of everyone for everyone to enjoy. According to Margaret's arrangement, today's food should be eaten casually to ensure everyone is satisfied. Therefore, the young people attending the banquet feel as happy as entering the Kingdom of God, and are full of gratitude to Lina and Betty, the protagonists of the banquet.
They only care about eating, and the whispering is naturally the church members who are no longer young. They have their own positions in the church and their own income. They usually have much better life than those apprentices who live in the church, so they will not keep their food in the same way as they do. When they hear the words of the old bishop Keane, they are more thinking about the changes that may occur after the establishment of the heirs, and are also discussing the meaning and truth hidden behind the sudden appearance of the two people.
.The few people who know a certain fact did not speak out the truth. They were qualified to contact real clergy more than ten years ago. Now they are at least qualified to enter the church's top leaders, and they are no longer young. These people are not stupid enough to tell the truth everywhere. Each of them squinted their eyes and smiled like an old fox who only stole chickens, pretending to know nothing, and discussing it with some people around them who really didn't know anything.
"Okay OK, let's be quiet." Keane knocked on the table, stopped the buzzing whisper with a smile, patted the shoulders of the two girls and said: "Fourteen years ago, the two of them suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight. Most of the people who knew them felt very strange, and some people asked me intentionally or unintentionally, but I have never explained the truth to everyone. Here I want to apologize to everyone. It's not that I don't trust all the church members, but mainly because I don't want everyone to disturb their self-training."
"That's right, it's self-training, especially spiritual perfection and tempering. From the very beginning, their talent and firm beliefs made me plan to train them into the new archbishop. However, in daily study and life, we have found that there are still many loopholes in their hearts. Although it is enough for them to become the new archbishops at that time, it is still a little insufficient if they want to spread the glory of our Lord more widely. Therefore, these two children took the initiative to carry out hard self-training so that their souls will have no defects and can better bathe in the love of the earth." Keane said a lie as if he was strict.
