One of the two priests was older and the other was younger. They both wore roughly similar clothes.

A cloak similar to that worn by ancient priests. It has a loose shawl, a dress that looks like a long skirt, a simple waist, some mysterious patterns and decorations, and the most important thing, a hood.

They walk barefoot on the clean floor that can illuminate people's faces. Every step will leave a gray footprint, but they don't seem to care or care. At least in a way, they do have some characteristics.

"Mr. Lynch, do you believe in God?"

The older priest looked at Lynch with muddy eyes, but it made people feel that there was an indescribable power, "do you believe in our God?"

The eyes of the two priests fell on Lynch, just as mishahaye asked the police chief to test Lynch's attitude. They also wanted to know Lynch's views on the religion of nagalir and their gods.

This is a very important test. In the past many years, some people who came to nagary from the outside world are atheists. They insist on not believing in any gods, which is completely contrary to nagary's religious teachings. These people are blasphemers.

Some people believe that there are gods, but they only believe that the gods they believe in exist and are upright, and others are evil gods, which is more terrible than atheists. They directly deny the teachings of local religions and pollute the sanctity of gods.

Temptation becomes more and more important. In particular, Nagar is still a religious theocratic country. The sanctity of God does not need to be questioned or can not be questioned.

Lynch nodded without hesitation, "I believe it!"

His decisiveness stunned both priests. They had prepared some words, but they obviously couldn't use them now.

They had planned to convince Lynch with some facts when he said "don't believe it". These words were useless, which also made the atmosphere a little awkward.

In embarrassment, the silence lasted about four or five seconds. The older priest had more expressions on his face. He nodded slightly, "Mr. Lynch, although you say you believe it, I think..."

"You haven't touched our religion, read our teachings, and don't know anything about the great gods we believe in. Can you tell me why you think so?"

His expression gradually became more serious. "The gods are omnipotent. You can deceive me, but you can't deceive it!"

Religious issues and belief issues are very serious for some special people. It can even be said that these people exist around these things.

They can not pursue other problems, but they will adhere to some rigid and strict requirements in terms of faith.

Lynch said Thaksin so quickly that the two priests doubted whether Lynch really believed or just to deceive them.

Faith cannot be reserved or full of deception. These are blasphemies against the gods.

They would rather Lynch say he is an atheist than deceive himself and the gods.

Compared with the seriousness of the older priest, Lynch was quite relaxed. He sat on the sofa, cocked his legs and asked a question, "how do you know I'm cheating you, and how do you know I don't really believe it?"

"Based on your guess?"

Before the elder priest could say anything, Lynch robbed him of the opportunity to speak. "I am a theist and believe that the gods really exist. I didn't want to explain these problems, but your words may have some bad effects on me, and I have to correct your mistakes."

"In fact, anyone who can think independently will understand this. Every religion is an extremely huge and complex system. Many people can't study everything in a religion all their life."

"If there is no God in the world, where did these things come from?"

"It cannot be born out of thin air. If someone lied and fabricated these things, not to mention whether people have the ability to make the system and content of each religion so perfect, why should others believe a fabricated false story?"

Lynch's voice was full of a taste of exploring the mystery, which made people unconsciously immersed in it, "you made up such a huge lie, people will know. People in your age know that no one had said such a thing before you, then these are false, and they won't believe it."

"Others will not believe it. When you die, no one will pass on your lie, because everyone knows it is false. People will pass on their real experience, experience and perception of life to the next generation, but no one will pass on the lie."

"People know these things and inherit them, which means that these things must have happened. At least people know that they did happen before they can pass them on."

"And if you don't understand other gods so narrowly, you will find that some doctrines and stories related to gods are not unique to you, but common and common."

"I am not an atheist or a believer of a certain belief, but I believe that Gods exist. In the years that we don't know, people can't leave the area where they live. How do they cross the road that even today we will feel far away and record the same things?"

"Perhaps because of language, customs, habits and other reasons, we have different understanding and records of the same God, so that we have different views on some things of the same root and origin, but this does not prevent me from believing that God exists."

Lynch's words stopped here. He tilted his head slightly and looked at the two priests with a very calm look. "Do you still think I'm cheating you?"

The elder priest stroked his chest and bent down, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lynch, I was wrong!"

Lynch raised his hand generously and said, "I forgive you. We didn't know each other before. Strangeness makes us alert to each other. Now the misunderstanding has been solved."

The old priest straightened up, nodded his head, "yes..." he glanced at the young priest around him. The latter took out a red velvet cloth bag from his sleeve cage. After opening it, there was a white sign three inches long and two inches wide in the middle.

It looks like an animal's bone or something. There are mysterious patterns carved out of gold on the brand, which is very noble as a whole.

"This is the blessing card of the divine power that the high priest personally added..." the elder priest took out the card and handed it to Lynch. "In addition, there will be an activity at the weekend of next week, and the high priest also hopes you can be there!"

This kind of invitation is a formal invitation only after it is determined that Lynch meets their invitation conditions. Otherwise, they may just come for a show today. They can't invite an atheist or believer of other beliefs to participate in local religious activities, which may lead to some unpredictable consequences, which they have encountered before.

The sign they sent was made of the horn of a horned animal. This sign represents a religious status in Nagar. The high priest will only give it to some special people to express his affirmation to them.

For example, bitter friars, these people prove the purity of their faith by abusing and torturing themselves. These people look very thin and sloppy, but they can always burst out unimaginable power.

In the history of the confrontation between theocracy and political power, theocracy always fell into the disadvantage several times, and even almost lost control of power several times.

It was these bitter monks gathered from all over the country that saved the situation and stabilized the theocracy again.

After that, the native religion of nagaril began to improve the social status of bitter monks, and the high priests would give them divine cards to make them respected.

Their children also have the right to enter school and enjoy various social benefits higher than citizens.

But don't think that becoming a bitter friar is a simple thing. In fact, it's not so simple. Becoming a bitter friar requires a deep understanding of the doctrine and discipline.

They need to cut off the family affection with their relatives and the connection with worldly views. The only thing they can contact is the God and the spokesman of the God - the high priest.

Then they have to choose refined repair or mobile repair. Of course, this is another matter.

The person who holds this divine card is equivalent to an alternative religious aristocracy. The believers of nagariel will respect the holder.

Lynch thanked the two priests again and again and watched them leave. When he closed the door and came back, he glanced at the magic card on the tea table and played it in his hand for a while.

In fact, Lynch has faith, real faith. He believes in wealth, power, giant ships and cannons, but he doesn't believe in gods.

However, in order to better integrate into this society, he needs to put on a coat of faith for himself. Fortunately, these people are easy to deceive.

After an afternoon's rest, when the sky outside the window began to darken, Lynch and Asher came to a dinner party specially held to welcome him.

The host was mayor mishehaye, who invited local celebrities and tycoons, and even the governor was on his invitation list.

He organized it, rather than the provincial governor, but only through his mouth.

At half past five, a luxury motorcade appeared in front of the hotel. Looking at these luxury cars, it was hard to imagine that there would be such a luxury motorcade in such a backward place, but Lynch would not, because he knew that this was the role of wealth and power.

Sitting in the car, looking out the window at the policemen riding bicycles or walking constantly beating the people to drive them away, providing a wide driving road for the team. Looking at the eyes full of hatred or anger, Lynch was in a good mood.

He even hummed a traditional minor of Baylor Federation, a victory minor!
