Chapter 2 Who will redeem

Jupiter is the capital of the Turing Empire, and the Turing Empire is the fifth empire on the epic continent.

The Vantas Holy See is the state religion of the Turing Empire, and it was divided by the Holy See of the Holy See.

The faith guides of the epic continent have always been [Sacred Church] located in the Holy Empire. There, the power of the king is granted divinely, and the power of the god is higher than that of the king. The spiritual papa of the continent, the pope of the world, is even more [indescribable]!

Until seventy or eighty years ago, the Holy Church issued [indulgences], and with some doctrine differences, several cardinal archbishops united to oppose the pope. As the situation developed, the pope and his opponents eventually developed from the initial debate to an open break.

During the battle, after countless fierce struggles, the Pope won. The loser was forced to flee and was chased all the way, as embarrassed as a dog with a broken family!

In the end, these losers who left their hometown came to the Turing dynasty at that time, were accepted by St. Peter I, and created the Vatican Holy See. The supreme leader of the Holy See was called the Patriarch, and religious gestures also changed from the Holy Cross to the Holy Triangle.

After the establishment of the Vatican Church, the Pope of the Holy Holy Church ordered St. Peter I to surrender his rebellion. After being rejected, the furious Pope issued an order to expel the Patriarch of the Vatican Church and St. Peter I and named it a heresy!

It is a very serious matter to expel the church and be regarded as heresy. The fifth emperor of the Holy Empire was expelled from the church because of a conflict with the Holy Church. Three months later, the imperial emperor was driven off the throne by the nobles and died miserably!

The Patriarch of Vantes, who received the news, was also unwilling to be outdone and also expelled the other party from religion and listed it as a heretic, for tooth for tooth and for eye for eye!

Subsequently, the Patriarch crowned the Emperor of St. Peter I, and since then, the Turing Dynasty has become the fifth empire of the epic continent.

Xia Mo's home is located in the Feruda district in the northwest of Jupiter City, and is a slum that was despised by the nobles as a "trash dump"!

Here are a large number of poor people without much property, beggars, prostitutes, thieves and other poor people struggling at the bottom of society.

The nobles never set foot on this street where black smelly water flows everywhere and garbage everywhere. Even if you pass by, you have to go around far away, for fear of being infected with the dirty and poor atmosphere here!

The vast majority of people in the Feruda District had a meal without the last meal. Like the dead lizard thrown to Xia Mo as compensation, it was a rare meal here!

The reason why Xia Mo, who had accepted the memory of the original owner of the body, ran back into the house hurriedly was because he was afraid of attracting others' covetousness! You know, he is just a six-year-old child now and has no power to protect himself at all!

Xia Mo returned to the house and first put the toilet back in the original place, then took out a rusty short knife from the hay on the bed covered with wooden boards.

Xia Mo put the dead lizard on the wooden table. While he was hesitating about where to cut the knife from, he suddenly saw the eyeballs under the tightly closed eyelids of the big-bellied lizards moving!

Xia Mo was stunned. Could this Teddy-sized lizard be alive? In order to verify his guess, he pressed the neck of the lizard with his left hand, held a short knife in his right hand, and said to himself:

"Does it be cut from here or from your mouth?"

He said, using the tip of the knife to gently slide the lizard's big soft belly!

As the tip of the knife moved, Xia Mo felt the body of the lizard in his hand trembling slightly.

At this time, he was very sure that the unknown lizard in his hand was pretending to be dead. Looking at the lizard whose eyes were spinning under his eyelids, Xia Mo's corners of his mouth curled up in a funny way!

He moved the tip of the knife to the lizard's neck, deliberately increased the strength and poked it, saying:

"Well, this place is the most convenient, so start here!"

As Xia Mo finished speaking, the Teddy-sized lizard in his hand seemed to feel the crisis and struggled suddenly!

Xia Mo only felt a great force coming from his hand, and the lizard seemed to have suddenly become slippery and unrestrained! Even though he was already prepared, he still couldn't control it!

Just when Xia Mo didn't know whether to praise the great power of life in danger or lament the thinness of this body, the lizard with a little gray skin suddenly leveraged the force on the wooden table, jumped to the edge of the wooden table, hung above the mouth of the fireplace, and was on the urn used as an iron pot, then turned around at the edge of the urn and disappeared in an instant!

Xia Mo looked speechlessly, is this asking you to fall into the trap?

No, maybe it's not accurate enough, it should be a self-inflicted person? I really don't know if he's smart or stupid if he's cheated on mercenaries and his little guys!

Xia Mo thought for a moment and gave up the idea of ​​adding water to the jar to create fire. Creating fire is good, but it is not easy to get water.

There was a well dozens of meters away from the door, but it was not easy for six-year-old Xia Mo to turn the wooden wheel and lift water from below.

There is also a piece of black bread hidden by the predecessor behind the wooden cabinet. This was what my predecessor finally received from the nun when he was doing mass in the church. Let’s use it to deal with my hunger first. When the church is doing mass tomorrow, try your luck and see if I can get another piece from the nun.

Thinking of this, Xia Mo walked to the side of the wooden cabinet, stretched out his skinny arm and groped in the air between the wooden cabinet and the wall, and then found a previous life Diaopai laundry soap, wrapped it tightly with a few green leaves.

Xia Mo took the package and put it on the wooden table, then carefully peeled off the layers of stinky miasma leaves one by one.

These stinky miasma leaves have an unbearable stench. Not only are they unbearable, but even those insects who like to eat green leaves are very stingy to bite even a small bite!

It is because of this characteristic that stinky miasma leaves have become the first choice for poor people in slums to preserve food and valuables to prevent ants and bugs from gnawing.

When a piece of black bread was exposed intact, Xia Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

Through memory, he knew that this small piece of black bread was the food he had in his previous three days, and it was not easy to get such a piece of black bread!

Although the church will distribute some for free when the mass is held every day. However, there are too many poor children who make a living by this, and the nuns' free black bread distributed almost every time.

In addition, Xia Mo's predecessor, Austin, was only six years old and was small. When he squeezed into the crowd, the food was often distributed!

Xia Mo carefully broke off a small piece of the black bread, put it gently in his mouth, and chewed it slowly. The black bread didn't taste good and a little sour. But Xia Mo still ate it very seriously, and even a little bit of tiny crumbs would not waste it, which was pious.

This not only contains respect for food developed in the past life, but also provides compromises about the current difficult situation.

Just as Xia Mo was eating black bread silently, a small head suddenly appeared from the jar hanging at the mouth of the fireplace. A pair of dripping little eyes first looked at Xia Mo who was sitting at the table eating food silently, and then stared firmly at the black bread in Xia Mo's hand, without blinking.

Xia Mo, who was eating black bread, suddenly heard two "cuckoo" sounds. He looked up in the direction where the sound came, and immediately met the gray lizard!

Xia Mo was slightly stunned, while the gray lizard was shocked and suddenly shrank his little head into the jar.

"I'm hungry!"

Looking at the empty mouth of the urn, Xia Mo thought while deliberately making the "bar-squeezing" sound when animals were eating.

Sure enough, a small head appeared again at the mouth of the urn. After seeing Xia Mo staring at him with his eyes, the little guy "swooshed" and shrank back again.

But soon, the little guy couldn't stand the temptation of the "baji" and "baji" sound, and his head emerged from the jar again. This time, after seeing Xia Mo still staring at him, it did not retract as it did last time, but looked at Xia Mo timidly.

Xia Mo stared at the little guy for a while, reached out and broke off a small piece of it from the black bread, gently placed it on the table, and then pushed it towards the fireplace. The gray lizard looked at Xia Mo, then looked at the bread cubes, and the throat made a "cuckoo" sound.

After a while, the hungry little guy could no longer bear the temptation and slowly crawled out of the jar. While crawling, it looked at Xia Mo from time to time, ready to escape back to the jar.

Soon, after confirming that Xia Mo had no malicious intentions towards him, the gray lizard jumped from the urn and then jumped onto the table with a "click". The little guy who fell on the table did not rush to eat food, but looked at Xia Mo carefully.

Xia Mo sat at the table like a sculpture, motionless. After watching for a long time, the little guy put down his guard and bit the bread into his mouth. He raised his head and stretched his neck, and a piece of black bread as big as an adult's thumb was swallowed directly into his stomach.

Seeing this, Xia Mo broke off a small piece of bread and put it in front of the gray lizard with his hands. As Xia Mo's movements, the little guy took two steps back in fear and shrank his head. After Xia Mo put the cubes down, it stepped forward and swallowed it.

What a good guy! He has a small figure and a lot of appetite!

Of course, this is not big, Xia Mo is a reference for himself. Looking at the gray lizard that was still unsatisfied, Xia Mo waved his hand and wrapped the black bread that had been missing nearly half again with stinky miasma leaves layer by layer.

Seeing that there was nothing to eat, the gray lizard jumped back into the jar. However, this time it did not immediately get inside and hide, but instead lay at the mouth of the jar, revealing a pair of small yellow eyes looking at Xia Mo hiding things.

After Xia Mo hid the bread, the little guy looked at Xia Mo and then saw the place where the black bread was hidden before he got into the jar.

That night, while Xia Mo was sleeping soundly while she was lying on a bed made of wooden boards and hay covered with a torn and dirty blanket, the gray lizard secretly emerged from the urn.

It looked at Xia Mo who was sleeping sweetly, jumped onto the table, then climbed down from the table, and slowly climbed onto Xia Mo's bed. After climbing onto the bed, the little guy sniffed, then suddenly raised his head and let out a silent roar!

With the roar, cockroaches, ants, centipedes, lice and other insects were centered on the bed, and they ran towards the deadly surroundings as if they were in trouble! Outside the house, with the Xia Mo family's house as the center, various rats and insects also ran away in a hurry!

After the insects ran away, the gray lizard looked around with its yellowish eyes, and then crawled to Xia Mo with satisfaction, got into the blanket and fell asleep.

The street to the east of Xia Mo family is called Viadoro Avenue, which means "the way of suffering" in the common term in mainland China.

To the east of Viadoro Avenue is the huge Plaza de San Angels, and to the north is connected to the Cathedral of St. Karen, the heart of the Vantes Holy See.

Every morning, a Mass is held in front of the Cathedral of St. Karen. The people who preside over the Mass are also different. Sometimes they are ordinary sacrificial priests or nuns, and sometimes they are noble archbishops with a noble status.

If you are lucky enough, you may encounter Saint Dias, the pastor of the Vantes Holy See, wearing a holy white robe, a kind and short and slender old man.

Today, before the Mass was held, a large number of believers gathered in front of the church, including civilians and nobles. The two were like two parallel lines that never intersected, clearly distinguishing!

Although Albert was only thirty years old, he was already a bishop. At such an age, he was promoted to bishop at St. Karen's Cathedral, the heart of the Vantes Holy See, and he could be said to have a smooth road ahead and a bright road!

But at this moment, the promising bishop was humbly accompanying an old man toward the church door.

The old man was the cardinal, Alexis, who had just arrived from the Northern Diocese to Jupiter under the escort of the Templar yesterday.

The Cardinal is also called the Archbishop of Cardinal. There are nine Archbishops in the Vantas Holy See. Behind them are each represented by a diocese, who are the most noble and powerful people under the Patriarch.

Since the Cardinal Archbishop Alexis had just been promoted from the Northern Diocese, Albert had limited knowledge of it. So in front of him, he could only show respect and respect, fearing that somewhere would not be done well enough, which would cause the great man's displeasure.

At the same time, he also secretly prayed in his heart that there must be no trouble in the next mass. This is the first mass that the Cardinal presided over after coming to the church!

Although the probability of trouble is almost nowhere, he still can't help but worry secretly!

Albert accompanied Archbishop Alexis to the church door as soon as he stood still, he saw a scene that stunned him!

On the San Angel Square in front of the church, a shabby six or seven-year-old child was shook his limbs and ran towards the San Angel Fountain standing on the square!

When he ran closer, the child, who was obviously from the slums, stretched his hands forward, closed them, and then jumped. His thin body drew a graceful arc in the air and fell into the clear pool water of the circular Holy Angel Fountain!

Albert's mind suddenly became blank, and he was like a doomsday judgment! Then, a rage rose in his heart!

Blasphemy! This is blasphemy!

He was about to raise his hand and ask the Holy See knights beside him to capture the ignorant slums, but suddenly he felt that his arm was gently pulled!

He turned to see that it was Lord Alexis, the Archbishop of Cardinal.

The old man in red robe showed a kind smile on his face and said softly:
Chapter completed!
