Dragon Tongue City Nancheng.

Old church of Holy Angel Church.

This place should obviously be a sacred place, but it always feels a little strange.

Today is a pilgrimage day to the old church.

In the square in front of the old church, countless pilgrims kneel.

Some of them knelt in front of the church, clasped their hands and kept muttering something.

Some were lying on the ground, kissing the ground in front of the church.

Some were lying quietly on the ground, skinny as a stick, with gray eyes and mouths opening and closing unconsciously.

A few brown pigeons jumped wildly among the pilgrims on the ground, making "coo, coo" sounds.

"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

Three long bells rang, and two nuns wearing white and black robes came out pushing a cart.

On the car is a large pot of mushy broken wheat. The broken wheat is steaming with heat, and a few wisps of faint fragrance dilute the fishy smell in the air.

The believers in front of the church stood up one after another. They did not make any noise or argue, and they lined up in two long lines very consciously.

Seven pigeons walking among pilgrims were bumped by an old man in ragged clothes.

The one who was hit was fine, but the one who hit someone fell down.

The old man's skin was thin and wrinkled, wrapped around his bones, as if it had been drained. There was no flesh and blood left, leaving only the skeleton and skin.

His eyeballs were sunken and his eyelids were tightly closed. Even when he fell to the ground, he never opened his eyes. He was probably blind.

"Old sir, are you okay?"

Qi Ge squatted down and helped the old pilgrim up. The nun at the front desk who was leading the way also stopped and looked back at Qi Ge.

The old pilgrim who was helped up by the seven pigeons did not respond to the seven pigeons. If you look closely, you can see that his upper and lower lips are opening and closing slightly.

When Qige helped him, she put her head close to his mouth and heard a sound like gasping from his breathing.

"Holy angel, holy angel."

After being helped up, the old pilgrim walked forward tremblingly.

He clearly couldn't see anything, but he accurately walked to the back of the pilgrim team and moved slowly with the team.

Qi Ge felt like something was blocking him in his heart.

He stopped and stood, looking in the direction of the nun.

The nun of the church took a spoonful from the steaming large basin and poured the hot broken wheat porridge onto the hands of the pilgrims.

The hot broken wheat poured onto the pilgrims' hands, as if injecting a little strength into their dry bodies.

The pilgrims couldn't wait to bury their heads in the broken wheat porridge. The broken wheat turned into light and shattered, and was directly absorbed by the pilgrims.

For a moment, the pilgrim's gray body seemed to have color, and even his movements became a little stronger.

They "ate" the Holy Communion and returned to their original positions. As their mouths opened and closed, the color on their bodies began to fade quickly again.

The seven pigeons are kind-hearted and cannot see this.

He sighed and followed the nun at the front desk again towards the old church.

The food in the heroic soul world does not need to be eaten, the food itself is just a kind of energy.

As long as you think about it, you can absorb it directly.

But generally no NPC will do this.

After all, the process of chewing delicious food itself makes people feel happy.

Unless, that thing is really hard to swallow.

In the teachings of the Church of Holy Angels, enjoying delicious food is a sin.

"Holy Gospels: Sin"

[Sacrifice is noble, devotion is noble, praying to angels is noble.”

Enjoying delicious food is a sin and is considered gluttony.

Indulgence of the flesh is a sin and belongs to sex.

The pursuit of victory is a sin and a form of arrogance.

The pursuit of money is a sin and belongs to greed.

It is sin to want to rest, it is laziness.

Envying others is a sin and belongs to jealousy.

Sin will become a breeding ground for hell. These sins must be abandoned before you can enter the kingdom of God after death.】

Qi Ge felt in his previous life that the person who made up this doctrine must be a bastard who had lost his conscience and should be chopped into pieces and fed to the three-headed dogs of hell.

I'm talking about you, Inheim.

This doctrine suppresses the normal instincts of living things to the limit, thereby cultivating a bunch of walking zombies with only praying angels in their minds.

This kind of walking dead is the so-called pilgrim.

In other words, the production machine of NPC angels.

They go to bed and wake up every day, pray to the angels, and eat a so-called "Holy Communion" at the same time.

After eating, continue praying to the angels until you fall asleep from exhaustion.

Their prayers will generate faith values, which are transformed and absorbed by "Cloud City" and become the nutrients that constitute NPC angels.

Erathia does not lack Cloud City, nor does it lack resources. What it lacks is faith.

In the previous life, Seven Pigeons received the mission from Adela to change all this, but before they could succeed, they encountered the invasion of Chaos.

During the Chaos invasion, Seven Pigeons and Adela had to suppress their ongoing plans.

Because no matter what, the pilgrim system is the source of the birth of angel NPCs.

If the pilgrim system is suddenly overturned, the Angel NPCs on the front line will be unable to connect, losing the main force against Chaos, and Erathia will die.

No matter how miserable those pilgrims lived, at least they were still alive.

To be swallowed by chaos is to die without a burial place.

One can only choose the lesser of two evils.

The seven pigeons walked through the procession of pilgrims and followed the nuns step by step into the church.

On both sides of the church, there are various angel statues. The angels are in various postures, charging, flying, praying, or reading.

These stone statues are all dead and have no warmth at all.

Walking in the church, it is extremely quiet.

Except for the footsteps of the seven pigeons and the nun, there was no noise at all.

With the pilgrims queuing up in front of the church to receive "Holy Communion" like a bunch of living dead, it's an unspeakable underworld.

It was as if Qi Ge had entered a zombie factory.

When you go in, you'll find seven pigeons jumping around, but when you come out, they'll be like zombies.

If possible, since this is a zombie manufacturing factory, Qi Ge would rather enter the succubus lair.

Rather than having his soul drained dry, Qi Ge would rather have his body drained dry.

After all, Qi Ge has a good physique, can last longer, and the process will be happier.

It's a pity that I don't have a choice.

Arriving at the prayer hall of the old church, Adela was alone.

Her back is to the Seven Doves, and in front of her is a colossal statue of an angel that reaches to the top of the church.

The nun who was leading Qi Ge turned around and said to Qi Ge with some guilt: "

President Qi Ge, in fact, it is Adela Legend who wants to see you.

For some reason, this meeting cannot be discovered by others.

I'm sorry for deceiving you."

Seeing her bowing hard, Qi Ge stretched out his hand to help, but also thought that she might be disgusted by male touch, so he changed it to a gesture commonly used in the Church of Holy Angels and said:

"No need to feel sorry, angels will bear all your sins for you."

The female receptionist was stunned for a moment when she heard a line that was often spoken by the bishops of Holy Angel Church suddenly coming out of Qi Ge's mouth.

She raised her head and saw Qi Ge's eyes that seemed to see through people's hearts. This made her a little shy, and she ran out covering her face.

"Are you the president of the Timely Rain Chamber of Commerce, Qige?"

Adela's back was turned to Qi Ge, and her voice was gentle and pleasant, just like a virtuous wife who would put out the bath water for you every time you returned to the territory.
