51. Worship
Besides Yvette, there is another place that can help Hevin investigate.
A place where Hewen can go openly.
Firth Cathedral.
Hevin appeared at the door of the church again.
Although the construction has not yet been completed, the church will naturally not refuse believers' visits. The first step in the construction is to ensure that it does not affect believers' coming to worship, secondly to ensure the quality of the construction, and finally the speed of the construction.
However, although the expansion is still continuing, the church now looks a lot different. The biggest change is the pink ore that covers the walls and ceiling of the entire church.
It is the magical alchemical material, dragon crystal diamond.
The expensive magic ore is set on the wall for decoration. Although the luxury is not as luxurious as the Holy Church, it is still a huge wealth that can attract poor dragons and magicians.
And Alec's choice to use dragon crystal diamonds for decoration is also telling everyone that even if dragons and wizards come, he has enough ability to deal with it.
In other words, he is showing his confidence.
The huge church covers a huge area. If you walk on the street next to the church, you will find that several intersections here are missing a direction. This is a road specially changed to avoid the church.
But there are only twenty-four priests in Firth Church, which is far fewer than other churches. Even though there are many congregants, it is still obviously empty.
This is because the twenty priests of Forth Church were transferred from various countries, and only four were natives of England.
Generally speaking, the bishop is responsible for appointing and promoting many local residents into the church in the diocese, and gradually become priests.
However, the Kingdom of Inlans does not believe in the original fire goddess Gafunan at all. In addition, it has only been settled in Forth City for more than 20 years, and there are only four priests who are qualified enough to find no faults.
Fortunately, he recruited a lot of monks and nuns, which made up for the shortage of priests from another angle.
A nun saw Hevin and came over.
"Hello, how can I help you?"
Although he had to start with the church, Hevin didn't plan to find Alec.
After all, he is now an important member of the evil organization that wants to trigger a war between the church and the knights. It would be too stupid to find the enemy leaders to investigate how to deal with them.
"Hello, is there a priest presiding over the service now?"
The nun smiled apologetically:
"This week's service is co-hosted by Father Barton and Father Gary, but I'm very sorry, only believers can join, and the service is about to start."
The nun declined him politely. After all, she had never seen Hevin come to church before.
Hewen said politely:
"Although I don't come here often, I am actually a devout believer. You may have heard of my name."
The nun blinked and asked:
"Sir, you are."
"Wright, well, that's the one..."
The nun replied excitedly:
"I know, I know, is that Mr. Wright who built us a new house and improved our food? I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you because you don't look like the one in the newspaper."
The nun looked at Hewen again and realized that it was indeed somewhat similar to the one in the photo.
When the photo was taken, Wright had not shaved off his beard, so he looked like a middle-aged man in his thirties. After shaving, he looked like a handsome young man in his twenties or fives.
Although the nun was a little timid, she couldn't help but said curiously:
"Mr. Wright, are you so successful at such a young age?"
Hewen smiled modestly:
"I just look young, and the main thing is that I take good care of myself."
Little stars lit up in the nun's eyes:
"Mr. Wright, could you please tell me how to maintain it?"
Hewen said seriously:
"Of course, but this is a secret, you can't tell others casually."
The nun solemnly patted her huge breasts:
"Don't worry, Mr. Wright, I won't tell anyone else."
Hewen lowered his voice mysteriously:
"Go to bed early and get up early, and eat three meals a day."
The nun seemed to have been deceived and said disappointedly:
"Ah, is that it?"
Hewen still teased her with a serious face:
"That's it, but are you sure you really did it?"
The nun fell into deep thought after hearing this. Well, it seemed that she slept until noon every day and didn't even eat breakfast. It was because she was too lazy that she was rushed to see the door.
The nun suddenly understood and said:
"I understand. In fact, the truth is hidden in the details that we usually ignore. Mr. Wright is indeed a famous believer. You want to take this opportunity to teach me this truth."
Having said this, the nun couldn't help but lower her head in shame:
"I still sleep until noon every day. I'm really ashamed of Goddess Gafunan."
"Well..." Hewen opened his eyes slightly. He didn't know how he was deceiving him, and the other party began to reflect on his late rise, "Well, can you take me to worship?"
The nun who was blaming herself for being interrupted was stunned for a moment and said quickly:
"Huh? Well, okay, Mr. Wright, come with me."
After saying that, Hewen followed the nun to the chapel.
The chapel is spacious and bright, with sunlight entering through the red, blue and green glass, and several torches one meter in diameter hanging high on the wall.
There are about 800 believers in the chapel, and the entire auditorium is very spacious.
These are not all the believers in Forth City. Even though this is England, there are nearly ten thousand believers.
However, not all believers will come to worship. Firstly, this is because most believers are not actually that firm in their faith, and secondly, because there is only one church of Primordial Fire in Firth.
Generally, as the chief bishop of a large diocese, there will also be diocesan bishops of some small dioceses, and they will be in charge of some branch churches. However, due to the special characteristics of the city of Forth, there is only one church in the city.
This also makes it difficult for believers who live far away to reach the church. Although the city of Forth has followed Wharton's example and begun to deploy public buses in recent years, expensive horse-drawn carriages are still the mainstay.
At the front of the chapel, two priests were blessing the believers and preparing to lead the congregation in Bible reading and prayer. The choir had just finished playing and was returning to their seats.
Father Barton also serves as the auxiliary bishop, whose status in the church is second only to Alec, and Saint Gary, who monitors Alec.
Although both parties knew Gary's identity well, they could not tell it directly.
So Alec asked his first deputy to always stay by Gary's side to restrict his movements, but Gary actually didn't pay attention to monitoring Alec.
He has now devoted his whole body and soul to the great cause of Tire.
Gary, who was at the other end of the church, suddenly saw Hevin, and his expression suddenly became very bad, as if he was asking why Hewen was here.
