Chapter 4: Chariot climbing techniques (6)
"The Technique of Chariots Climbing the Sky?" Gregory and Gottfried shouted in unison. Habiba was so scared that he looked around and found that many people were looking at them.
"Trails of Chariots" is one of the mysterious documents of Gottfried's ancient Abraham church in Gregorian in a cave. It is said that it records methods that allow people to get close to the infinite god.
Fortunately, the onlookers didn't know what the "Carrying Technique" was. They were just attracted by the sudden sound. After discovering that nothing special was happening, they went to do their own things.
"So Master, do you want to buy "Carrying the Sky"? You said that this auction will attract wealthy businessmen from all over the world. Do you want to compete with them? When did you become so rich?"
"It doesn't cost so much! "Carrying the Sky" is just a trivial thing on the auction list. Who knows its value except us? If you were a wealthy businessman, would you buy an ancient book that you had never heard of?"
“…so maybe it can be bought at a low price?”
"That's right!" Habiba happily patted Gottfried's shoulder, thought for a while, then patted Gregory's shoulder, and said, "Disciples, we are about to become great masters!"
"Sorry, interrupt," Gregory reminded calmly, "Since the auction specifications can attract wealthy businessmen, we may not be able to enter the market with our clothes. Do you each have better clothes?"
"this……"
Habiba and Gottfried looked at each other, and then looked at Gregory together. This time, before they could speak, Gregory said, "I don't have the habit of bringing a lot of money on you. All the money was spent when you ordered three roast chickens."
"Then..." Gotfried and Habiba looked at Ella, who was a rich family. But Ella suddenly thought of something and hugged her head and shouted: "It's over! I thought I could make a big profit today by selling carrots, and I didn't leave a penny! I didn't even have the money for staying at night!"
"Accommodation? Oh, my god!" Habiba also hugged her head as if she suddenly remembered something, "I forgot that the bridge where I live was snatched up today! We are going to find a new bridge before the night comes!"
Looking at the unreliable three people, Gregory seemed to give up and said, "Okay... I will solve my residence tonight and I will prepare my clothes. You will come with me after you finish eating."
Gregory took Ella and the others to a remote corner where a small church stood. Looking at the religious place of the Abraham Orthodox Church in front of him, Habiba and Gottfried obviously hesitated.
Gregory deliberately tempted them and asked, "What's wrong? Although you are members of the ancient Abrahamic church, you should be the same God as the Abrahamic Orthodox Church. There will be no inconvenience, right?"
"Although it is the same god..." Gottfried said hesitantly, "but the Orthodox Church always put a cross in the church, and there was a strange man nailed on it, just like another god, which made people feel..."
Habiba suddenly covered Gottfried's mouth and said with a pity, "What's the problem? Seeking common ground while reserving differences, do you understand - can we really stay here for one night? Isn't it really a money?"
Ella also had a little hesitation. She couldn't figure out the matters of those gods, but the Abraham Orthodox Church was the state religion of the Tianfang Empire after all. If she wanted to enter their religious places and even stayed, she would have some resistance in her heart.
However, Gregory did not pay attention to Ella. Seeing that Habiba and the others did not object, Gregory stepped forward and knocked on the door of the church. A young nun came out of the church. Gregory owed and said, "We were brought here to sell radishes from the Duke of Anglia. But the radishes were crushed by someone else's carriage halfway, making us penniless now. I wonder if we can take us here for one night?"
"Are you also a believer in our church?" The nun smiled and turned halfway, "Come in."
"Wait, wait a moment, let's stay in?" Ella asked in disbelief, "We don't have Yifen on us either? I really can't pay the accommodation fee?"
"The Archbishop of Cologne always teaches us to cherish our believers like we cherish brothers and sisters. Anyway, there are many rooms, so what's the point of staying for one night? Everyone will be sleepy. Come on, we still have some bread and porridge left."
Although the nun said this, Ella still had concerns. She walked the last part of the team, looking around with her eyes, searching for suspicious places. However, the suspicious places were not found, but a group of children ran out of the restaurant. The group of children were men and women, both old and young, the youngest looked only five or six years old, and the oldest was fourteen or five years old. They greeted the nuns one by one, and then ran outside the church led by the older child to play.
"Are these kids..." Ella asked in confusion.
"There are all poor children. The priests here took them back one by one from the street and adopted them."
"That's really worthy of respect."
In order to show his respect, Gregory bowed to the nun. When he got up, he realized that Ella also bowed and just looked up.
The nuns really brought them bread and porridge. They had actually eaten three roast chickens, but Habiba was still hungry for three days, grabbing one bread with one hand and chewing it. Ella hesitated for a while, and then prayed before the meal in imitation of Gottfried and Gregory. After the prayer, Ella picked up a piece of bread and took a careful bite. The bread was soft and hot, no different from the bread she had eaten in the Seven Hill Empire.
After dinner, Habiba yelled to let Gregori understand the endless mysteries of Kabbalah and pulled him into the room. Ella walked into another room under the guidance of the nun.
"You should be a native Almani?" Before entering the door, Ella suddenly stopped and asked, "Why are you willing to pray to the gods of the Tianfang Empire?"
The nun shook his head: "It is not the god of the Tianfang Empire, we believe in the universal god."
"The universal god?" Ella repeated the four words word by word. Suddenly, Ella realized that she had said the wrong thing. Because the problems just now meant that she was not a believer in the Orthodox Church of Abraham.
However, the nun didn't seem to mind very much, and replied with a smile: "Yes, so it's your god."
As she said that, she stretched out her hand and gently drew a cross on Ella's forehead. Ella did not resist and waited for the nun to finish drawing the cross.
