The Cathedral of the imperial capital has no obvious reputation. In the past, there were two holy cathedrals in the imperial capital. At that time, it was indeed called the holy cathedral.
Later, for various reasons, the night patrol auxiliary sacrifice of one of the holy cathedrals inadvertently ignited the decorations in the church, resulting in the most terrible fire in the history of the imperial capital. The whole holy cathedral was only broken walls and razed to the ground soon after.
Another holy cathedral is relatively well preserved, but if you ask a believer who is not an orthodox church on the road, he probably won''t know where the cathedral is.
Since religion withdrew from the political stage, its behavior style has been much lower key. The only church in the imperial capital that can be called "cathedral" is in the old urban area of the imperial capital.
Today''s urban planning is much more complex than before, and there are many buildings. If it was hundreds of years ago, standing at the west gate of the imperial capital, looking east along the road, behind the spire of the watchtower at the easternmost end of the palace wall, is the cathedral.
Every morning when the sun rises in the East, the sun will penetrate the painted glass of the cathedral and dye the road to implement the East and West into colorful colors, including the palace.
At that time, believers would get up before dawn, and then kneel down on both sides of the road to pray according to the order and customary rules, quietly waiting for the moment when the sun appeared.
They call it "the baptism of Holy Light". Some people think that those gorgeous colors are not simply colored light, but the projection of the kingdom of God. As long as you often stay in this halo, you can go to the kingdom of God to enjoy happiness and health after death.
Later, with the continuous change of power and the transformation and expansion of God for several times, it is difficult to see the scenery that once seemed to be in a fairy tale, and can only sigh the magic of human skills from paragraph by paragraph.
Durin and kubal simply explained and left. He took advantage of the car and asked the driver to take him to the cathedral. Conti was already waiting for him at the door.
Kangti didn''t let Du Lin get off, but took the initiative to meet him, opened the door, and then sat in, "find a meal. I''m starving. I have to get something to eat!"
The driver didn''t start immediately. The car didn''t start until Dolin said to drive.
Conti didn''t pay too much attention to these small things. He couldn''t help complaining, "I really should bring a chair myself. You know, I stood there for at least four hours. It''s terrible. It''s the most... No, the second terrible thing I''ve experienced in my life!"
He expressed his hatred for that time with exaggerated expressions and actions, "can you imagine? Four hours, four hours! I can''t move or speak for four hours. They haven''t prepared anything to eat yet. I''m hungry and tired. If the old man asks me to go with him next time, I''ll bring a chair and some food."
When conti complained, Turin kept looking at him. Turin didn''t know how conti''s somewhat "rebellious" chatter succeeded in crowding out other competitors and becoming the next Pope.
Many people think that the church, a bright place, must be bright inside. Everyone is really a happy family as the Scripture says.
In fact, these are bullshit. The struggle within the church is even more intense and cruel than the political struggle.
Every sectarian dispute means that tens of thousands of "dissidents" are secretly hanged or burned, most of the time, which is their way to treat the losers and their only end.
There were several very cruel sectarian struggles in the history of the church, especially the bloody sect, which advocated blood and killing, and slaughtered at least two hundred thousand "dissenters" believers who shared the same doctrines as believers, by predatory blood essences of other lives.
Battles on the political stage come and go. Winning or losing at one time does not mean anything. Sometimes some losers still have the opportunity to turn defeat into victory after dormant for several years or more.
However, in the church, there is no such situation. No one can get up after failure, just like the blood sect that is so strong that some people even have the idea of killing false gods and pagans, it is finally killed by the new sect, and even the doctrine and so-called divinity are completely erased.
Including the current church, basically everyone knows that its full name is "Tianzheng church". Before it, the church had other names. It is precisely because the sect of the Lord of Tianzheng successfully suppressed other sects that today''s church came into being.
Those divine officials who used to show their kindness have long been immersed in blood donation.
These real past has been completely buried by the "truth" that people think. The church also claims that the things recorded in those records do not have any reference significance, because the world in which people coexist with gods often described above does not exist, so it is more likely to be a kind of imagination, a kind of monk within the church according to the contents of some scriptures, Supplemented by some folk stories as a reference, extended stories.
Even now, the struggle within the church is very fierce, which represents the peak of the Empire and even the surrounding areas in the field of faith. There will be no higher mountain top. Whoever chooses will be the first person.
Kandy doesn''t look like a very powerful role. Why can he "ascend the throne" because he can nag all the time?
Driving for Du Lin is the nephew of the president of the local association. Unfortunately, the president did not become the president of the gods, but his current position is also very important.
His nephew has served for Du Lin more than once. The young people are familiar with emperor Du and are reliable enough. Therefore, Du Lin only needs to use a car when he comes to Emperor Du, and he is the driver.
After listening to Kangti''s nonsense for more than ten minutes, I finally arrived at a very distinctive restaurant before 9 o''clock. The owner and cook of the restaurant, including the waiter, are all Oriental.
In the past two years, the connection between the Empire and the East has not been broken, but more in folk exchanges, mainly in culture and trade.
Some businessmen from the east also began to appear one after another, which always makes people feel very fresh. The mystery of the East tempts everyone. Even if it is just a restaurant, people also want to try to feel some Oriental mystery from here.
After entering the restaurant, there was no table in the wide hall. The president''s nephew explained in a low voice that the restaurant called "the special significance of bamboo" did not have an open way to eat in the hall. They preferred to eat in a private environment.
This style is very popular with the upper class, especially those who need to talk about some secret things. Now most of the imperial restaurants have boxes to entertain customers in need.
Du Lin looked up and saw bamboo rhyme. It''s a good name!
After waiting for more than 30 seconds, a young Oriental woman of about twenty-four or five years old came up wearing a neutral long shirt with oriental style, with a red edge on a black background and a very cumbersome square character written on her chest. Du Lin didn''t know it, but it was vaguely like... Tai or Qin?
It may also be playing. In short, it''s a bit old-fashioned.
The apparently different looking girl spoke fluent lingua franca and knew Dooling, which made conti a little jealous, so that he still said it at dinner.
Led by the girl, the group entered a room called "the noble style of bamboo". This sentence was translated by the president''s nephew. The girl used a pure Oriental Language with short pronunciation and the elegance of bamboo.
After ordering 18 dishes, the others withdrew, leaving only Turin and conti in the room.
When they sat at the table, conti suddenly stopped talking. He frowned as if he was thinking. After a while, he smiled and apologized for his absence, "I''m very sorry. I just thought of a very important thing, and then I was too involved in thinking. You know, most successful people have the habit of ''focusing'', so I have..."
From the beginning of concentration, he talked about the weather in recent days, and then predicted the weather in the next few days. Then he talked about the tourism and charity in ambillo. During this period, he stopped several times for the sake of serving dishes. After all the dishes were served, he finally talked about the previous top Parliament.
"Did you hear that they are so openly discussing the subversion of another state power? I''m afraid the old man of God will fall from the sky. I always thought we should discuss some good things."
"For example, charity activities and donations, or going for an outing somewhere, because spring is coming. I like spring, not so cold or so hot. You know I''m a little fat. Summer is hell for me. Of course, winter is not so comfortable because I have to wear a lot."
"I especially like my one..."
Durin couldn''t help tapping the table with his knuckles. "Say the point, my friend."
Conti was stunned for a moment, then quickly recovered, and covered up his little embarrassment with a shy smile. "I''m sorry, I turned the topic away again. I mean, they were terrible. Everyone in that room had a devil in their heart and filled everywhere..." he was stunned again and smiled again, "I didn''t say you, I said someone else."
Turin closed his eyes and nodded slowly. He felt that conti could become Pope probably because no one could convince him. He often persuaded him.
"The atmosphere there is very bad, lack of friendship, and everyone''s heart is very dark. Look, you must know that there is no you among the people I said, so I think we should unite. Only in this way can we fight against darkness and evil." after he said that, he looked forward to Turin, and almost wrote the hint "hurry up" on his face.
Durin remained silent. He skillfully took some food with his chopsticks and glanced at conti. "Is this your real idea?"
"Just because of this?"
He put his chopsticks on the chopstick rack. The environment here gave him an inexplicable sense of out of control and confusion. He leaned back, pressed one hand on the edge of the table, pressed the other arm on the back of the chair, leaned sideways, raised his legs, and calmly looked at Kangti. Two different periods of time and space seemed to coincide for a moment at this moment.
"There is no one else here. We can tell the truth."
In a trance, Turin hasn''t recovered yet. Conti first moved his eyes. He soon moved his eyes back unconvinced and met Turin''s eyes. "This is the truth. Those people think too much and each one is hard to contact. I don''t like the style there and the character of those people, except you."
"We are friends and should help each other, and I only know you and can only contact you.", he looked at Turin sincerely, "we are friends!"
In fact, when this sentence came out, durin wanted to laugh. Would an archbishop who could sit quietly and steadily as Pope in the internal struggle of the church be a fool?
If you think about it with your eyes, you know it is absolutely impossible. The only explanation can only say that all this is an illusion created by Kangti. He hides his real self in a place where no one can see.
Such a person with means, ability and strategy showed the appearance of "I''m mixed with you" after the first time participating in the meeting. It''s certainly impossible to say that Turin has no doubt.
But at the same time, he also has some confusion. What is the purpose of doing this?
He nodded his head quietly, then stretched out his hand, "you''re right, we''re friends!"
Conti looked at his hand, then looked at Turin''s smiling eyes, held out his hand and shook Turin''s hand, "so we have reached a covenant?"
Turin nodded again, "yes, the offensive and defensive alliance!"
Kangti was satisfied and relieved. "This is what I need. To be honest, I''m hungry. Can we now..." he looked at the dishes on the table and began to eat with a smile after Turin nodded.
Neither of them seemed to question the covenant just now, as if it were true.
Of course it is true!
While eating, they talked about the people and problems in the conference room, as well as today''s unique meeting.
This meeting has an absolutely different meaning for their lives, and even opened a new page for their lives.
Before today, they may think what they see is already the ceiling, but they didn''t expect that there is an invisible layer behind the ceiling - on the top!
