Mingke Street, Church.Dis is packing up his things, his work for today is done.In fact, managing even a small church is a very complicated matter, involving many aspects, not just business ability.After all, it's not just about building a church on a mountain, but there may be one on every street, and believers are the "customers", so churches also face fierce competition.
However, Dias didn't pay much attention to these things. He only focused on his own work and would go home after finishing it. He wouldn't participate in any extra activities for the development of the church.Just like his attitude towards the family business, he had long stopped participating in the specific operations.Simon, dressed in black, walked in from the door and placed a receipt report in front of Dias.Dias opened it in front of him and inside was a reply from the Rui Lan District Management Office of the Order of the God of Order regarding his handling of the group of people during the mayoral election.In the reply, they first fully affirmed Dias' keen perception and foresight in this matter, praising his loyalty to his duties and carefulness in his job.Then, they made a determination that it was an "invasion" by foreign demonic forces targeting the city of Luo Jia, and even attempted to use Luo Jia as an opportunity to subvert the entire system of the Order of the God of Order in Rui Lan.Finally, they praised Dias for eliminating the disaster with thunderous means and once again invited him to join the Rui Lan District Management Office.Dias obviously wasn't surprised by this reply and after reading it, he put it aside.Simon said, "When I came in just now, I saw Minister Kande sulking there alone.""Oh."
Dis responded with a sound;Kand Deacon is the director of the office of this church. He just took over his father's position last year and hopes to expand the influence of this church. However, every time he presents his plans to Dis, they are rejected. Because Dis is too busy to attend any events and has a negative attitude towards additional religious ceremonies."Kand Deacon is quite depressed," Simon said."He will get used to it," Dis picked up a pen and signed the receipt, "just like his father, Old Kand, did."Simon pulled out another sheet, which was the routine report for the past half month. "I need your signature here as well."Dis signed it."I have read your resume in the Order of the Gods," Simon said curiously, "you seem to have no interest in promotion."The current powerful leaders of the Order of the Gods in the Blue Region are actually from the same generation as Dis's son. One of the leaders, in his resume, clearly stated that he had served as an intern god servant in Luo Jia City.With such connections, Dis could easily obtain a better position within the Blue Region system. In the Order of the Gods, many of the older generation have gained status and treatment through this method of cultivating disciples and successors.
"What is the purpose of promotion?" Dis asked."To contribute better to the development of the Order of the Gods." Simon gave the standard answer."But before my promotion, was there no one in that position?" Dis asked."You should consider yourself more capable, so if you were in that position, you could achieve better results." "So that means the person who was originally in that position was not good enough and did not achieve enough, which should be dealt with by the Whip of Order, pulling those who have neglected their duties and lost their faith from their positions that do not match their conduct.""You make a valid point, but I am still not convinced.""So why should I make a postman from a district believe me?""You certainly don't have to." Simon bowed."Or perhaps, is it now a member of the Whip of Order standing in front of me, demanding that I make a statement on this issue according to the Internal Law of the Order of the Gods?""No, of course not, you have misunderstood."
"Have you met with Lasma?""I..." Simon gave a bitter smile and finally nodded. "Yes, Lord Lasma is already in Lojia City.""Okay." Dias continued to tidy up his desk. "He dares not come to see me."Simon licked his lips and to some extent, he felt that the local judge in front of him was right.In his communication with Lord Lasma, he had sensed the fear that the high priest had towards the person in front of him.Most importantly, the high priest didn't even bother to hide this emotion, as if it was only natural for him to fear the person in front of him."Do you have any message that you need me to convey to Lord Lasma?""Yes."Simon immediately straightened his back, indicating that he would listen carefully.Dias took out a business card from a book in front of him and handed it to Simon. Simon took the card, which read:
"Vice President of Luo Jia Pastry Association - Angers.""This is one of my followers who comes to the church to pray every week. A few days ago, I specifically asked him for a business card to pass on to Lasma. He could use it."Simon blinked,Puzzled:"Does Lord Lasma like pastries?""He doesn't like to eat them, but he enjoys the smell of pastries. He believes it can calm his mind.""I see, it's like how some people enjoy incense." Simon pondered."Yes."Disna took the things and walked around Simon, ready to leave.Simon immediately followed after putting away the business card and asked, "I have one more thing to ask you, I hope to get your guidance."
"Speak.""I originally thought that Lord Lasma came to the Rilan region for the super-standard divine descent ceremony in the city of Bellwin, but now I feel like that's not the case.""Yes.""So, do you know the true purpose of Lord Lasma's trip?""Me.""You?""Yes."Simon was shocked, he never expected the old man in front of him to give such a direct answer."But this morning, you were busy leading the believers in prayer.""Simon."
"I am listening.""If someone told you that the great god of order will return to the world tomorrow, what should you do today?""I...I don't know. Just thinking about this hypothesis makes my mind chaotic. What do you think I should do?"Dis laughed and replied,"Before today is over, send the documents I signed back to the management office of the Rui Lan district for filing and reporting. Since tomorrow has not arrived yet, you should still focus on doing today's tasks.""I understand, thank you for your guidance." Simon stopped in his tracks and placed his hands over his chest towards Dis' back as he walked out of the church. "Praise order, and also praise your generosity.""He doesn't need your praise." The voice of Lasma appeared behind Simon."Sir." Simon saluted.Lasma ignored his salute and instead reached out to take the postcard:
"Do you know what frustrates me the most about Dis?""I think...""I just wanted to talk to myself, not really hear your answer.""I'm sorry.""It's that he can casually throw away something that is important to you and give it to you, without needing your gratitude because he doesn't care, just like his previous advice to you. You've been stuck at the level of a judge for a while now, so the impact must have been great?""Yes, previously...""I can see the power of faith inside you is colliding fiercely, proving that you have been stimulated and enlightened by his previous words. You should find a quiet place now to elevate your faith and stabilize it.""No, I think what I should do now is to return the documents, it's my duty." Simon said.Rasmar saw that the vortex of faith inside Simon became even more intense as he spoke these words.
"You are a very talented little guy," Rasmar said."Thank you for your praise."Rasmar suddenly stood there, with a somewhat complicated expression."What's wrong with you?" Simon asked."I suddenly remembered something, many years ago, when I was still young and so was Dias. We were chosen by the church to form a team and enter a deserted ruin for a trial.At that time, the elder in charge appointed Dias as the leader of our team.After the successful trial, Dias said something to me:'You are a very talented little guy.'Simon: "This..."Rasmar pointed to himself, then pointed to Simon.
Laughed and said, "So, is the gap between him and me back then, just like the one between you and me now? But at that time, I coldly responded to him, 'I hope next time you're in the opposing team, I will make you pay for your previous words.' That's why the older I get, the less I like to reminisce; especially when it comes to things related to Dias, every time I remember, I become more aware of how foolish I was back then." Simon didn't dare to respond to this. "You just asked Dias, what is my purpose for coming here?" "Yes, I asked." "His answer is correct. My purpose for coming here is for him. Maybe, in just ten days, our Order of the Gods' temple will have another elder." "Sir, are you referring to Judge Dias?"
"Is there anyone else?" Rasmar asked in response."So, are you here on behalf of the Order of the Gods to prepare a grand induction ceremony for Lord Dis?" Rasmar shook his head. "No.""No?" "I am here to clean up the situation, the situation of him refusing to enter the temple.""Refusing...to enter the temple?" Simon's face showed shock, as this was the biggest dream of every follower of the Order of the Gods."Don't be so surprised. Didn't I say it before? What you think is precious, in his eyes, is often nothing. After sensing the birth of a new understanding of the Order's teachings in the temple, a divination and calculation were immediately carried out. The result was that there was less than a 10% chance that the other party would choose to enter the temple and serve the God of Order." "Less than 10%?"
The sentence below Lasma made Simon kneel down on the ground."There is an 80% chance that he will summon the Sword of Order and aim it at our supreme... Order Temple."...Dis walked on his way home, occasionally greeted by familiar neighbors, to which he responded with a smile.As he approached his doorstep, a figure in an old leather jacket appeared on the side of the road.Dis stopped and looked at him, saying:"I thought you would continue to avoid me.""I really wanted to keep hiding," Lasma said truthfully, "but I don't have much time left, and neither do you.""Yes," Dis admitted."Over the years, I never believed that you were truly depressed, because in some races, even if someone lies down and flips over, they can still achieve higher rankings than others who run with all their might."
"Thank you.""But I didn't expect that when we meet again, my once self-proclaimed lifelong rival has already qualified to enter the temple and become one of the revered beings that I would need to kneel down and worship.""You know, Rasma...""Yes, I know. You are not interested in my worship." Rasma took a deep breath. "But I think we can talk.""Yes." Dis said, "I want to negotiate with the Church of God.""You know, Dis, even the orthodox churches in this world do not have the courage to say such things to our Order of Gods, and you are still a part of our Order.""I believe the temple has done some divination." Dis said calmly, "I can also guess the result of the divination, after all, it is about my thoughts, isn't it?""You're crazy.""I'm just tired, like a child playing with building blocks. He was originally excited and carefully building it piece by piece, but suddenly, he lost interest in the game in front of him, or played enough.So at this time, he often chooses to push down the tall building blocks himself, and seeing the scattered pieces of blocks on the ground, he will not feel regret or heartache, nor will he realize that all the hard work and thoughts he just put in have become nothing; on the contrary, he will happily clap and laugh."
"Did you compare yourself to a child?""Because you are afraid of this child."Rasma placed her hands in front of her:"In the name of the High Priest of the Order of the Gods, I have come to negotiate with you."Dis shook his head and said, "Not today, in seven days, at the cemetery.""Why?""Because I have to hurry back home now to taste the lunch my grandson made for me. In the afternoon, I plan to have tea and chat with him. He has become much more cheerful lately and is willing to talk to me. I believe you will like him, a handsome and eloquent young man. Talking to him is truly a pleasure.My daughter knitted a sweater for me and she plans to give it to me tomorrow. I want to try it on so she can make any necessary alterations. She used to say some hurtful things to me in pursuit of happiness, but now that she has returned home, I know she has been wanting to apologize to me. I am prepared to comfort her and tell her that she will always be my most beloved daughter.The day after tomorrow is my second daughter-in-law's birthday. She followed my unruly son and gave birth to a son and a daughter, which was not easy. I want to celebrate her birthday in a grand way."
In this household, she has always had a difficult time. Not only does she have to take care of the family's birthdays, but also their daily lives. The Inmores family owes her too much.On the fourth day, it is the day of my grandchildren's final exams at school. I will pray for them as usual on the morning of their exams, so that they will not be anxious and nervous.Mina is doing well, she has always been calm; Lunt and Chris are more easily affected by emotions, they need care and encouragement from others.On the fifth day, it is the memorial day for my eldest son and daughter-in-law, whom I killed with my own hands. Every year on this day, I silently mourn for them.On the sixth day, it is the funeral day for my friend, Old Hoffen. The Rulans attach great importance to this whole day after the death of a person. He was my most frequent friend in the second half of my life, and this is what I should do for him.On the seventh day, it is my grandson's fiancée's birthday, and coincidentally, it is also the birthday of our family's pet cat.You see,In the next seven days, I am very busy and have things to do.So, I have decided to set the negotiation date for seven days later. At that time, after leading the believers in worship at the church, I will not rush home, but wait for you... in the church.""Your reasons are really detailed," Rasma said, "I'm sorry, I can't help but say this to you: you actually postponed and set the date for negotiation with the temple because of these trivial household matters?"
"Dis,Do you know,Not only did I come,But also with me, there are three elders from the temple with their divine thoughts.I am easy to talk to, but do you think those three elders from the temple will be as easy to talk to as me?""That's for you to find out," Dis responded, "I have set a date for seven days from now, and within those seven days, there is a chance for the temple to negotiate and make a final decision.Of course,You can choose five days, three days, one day, or even now.But I believe you should know what decision I will make.""Dis, this is blasphemy against the God of Order."
Dis's lips curved into a smile:He said:"Human affairs are not yet settled, how can I have the leisure to deal with gods.""I will convey your words to the three elders of the temple.""Okay, thank you, Rasma."Dis pointed ahead with his hand:"That is my home, you should know;13 Mingke Street.Do you want to come to my house?""No." Rasma refused directly, then said, "Maybe in the future, I will have the chance to go inside and take a look."
After saying this, Rasma regretted it and immediately corrected himself, "I was just joking, I didn't mean to threaten you."Dis nodded.Rasma breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If there is no reply, then it means you agree to my negotiation request after seven days. I'll leave now, by the way, thank you for the business card of your pastry shop."As soon as he finished speaking, Rasma's figure turned into a black mist and dissipated on the spot. He left in a hurry, not daring to stay any longer.Dis continued walking and when he reached his doorstep, he turned around and stood in front of the gate.Dis remembered the conversation he had with Karen on that day when they were standing here:"Karen, where is this?""Home!"...
Remembering that time, Karen answered and fell to the ground. Fortunately, the golden retriever was there to cushion the fall, otherwise he might have broken his skin.He knew Karen was very scared at that time because he could feel the murderous intent emanating from himself, but Karen mistakenly thought that he wanted to kill him.Standing at the door of the house, Dis slowly turned around, his back to the courtyard door, his gaze sweeping around, and finally moving towards the sky."In the future, the Inmoleis family will become a forbidden place for the church and even for God."
Arrived in Hainan to participate in the starting event, after updating last night, I immediately went to the airport. I endured the fatigue of the journey and didn't sleep all night, but I managed to write this chapter with determination. Today, there is only one chapter. Goodnight everyone, hug everyone tightly!
