Three hundred and thirtieth eight chapters Joe's confession (2)
St. Mayan Cathedral, the base camp of the Yingui Church in the imperial capital.
Compared with the imperial capital complex with heavy tones and conservative shapes, the St. Mayan Cathedral, made of white marble and covered with large crystal glass vaulted floor-to-ceiling windows, is like a white swan mixed in a black duck, dazzling, gorgeous and full of charming brilliance.
This cathedral is located in the northeast of the Hydra Palace, three miles away from the Hydra Palace, covering an area of nearly a thousand acres, and is surrounded by exotic silver osmanthus trees.
The snow falls in the cold winter, and the snow on the ground is several feet thick. The silver osmanthus trees around the St. Mayan Cathedral are still lush with branches and leaves. Silver osmanthus flowers dot the green leaves, emitting a rich fragrance in the wind and snow.
Early in the morning, a group of nuns in white robes took brooms, dustpans and other tools to clean up the snow around the St. Mayan Cathedral. The broom rubbed against the marble floor tiles on the square at the entrance of the cathedral, making a crisp "rustling" sound.
When Joe brought a large group of men to St. Maya Cathedral, a group of young nuns, who were about twelve or thirteen years old, were standing in a row in the cold wind, standing on the side of the road at the entrance of the cathedral.
The cold wind was bleak, and as the pedestrians walked by, the young nuns gently shook the piggy bank in their hands.
Some pedestrians would come to them and leave one or two silver Finneys or copper penis, and these young nuns would bow to them devoutly and say some auspicious words such as "The kind goddess will bless you."
Qiao came to the door of the cathedral, jumped off the horse's back, tightened the dark gray coat wrapped around her body, stomped her feet hard, and sneezed: "This damn weather...hey, you little guys..."
Qiao looked at the little nuns who were cold and had red faces with disapproval.
They were a little younger than Weima, and they were blown by the wind here early in the morning, which in Qiao's opinion was a bit too much.
He took out a stack of banknotes, and put a hundred gold marks into the piggy bank of these little nuns, and then patted a little nun on the head: "Hey, stay in the room, don't blow it to frostbite... Well, who can take me to the confessional room? Then, help me find a grand nun with a high status...?"
The young nuns looked at Joe with great joy in their eyes.
The little nun who was slapped by Joe handed the piggy bank to his companion around him and raised his hand very actively: "This...Mr. Major, please come with me. St. Mayan Cathedral, the Grand Monk Eliza is in charge of the confessional room."
Marcos and Ivan Da got out of the carriage, and the two stood outside and waited with their men.
Lan Mujin and Lan Likong brothers followed Qiao and entered the cathedral under the leadership of the young nun. Perhaps they had completed today's "donation fundraising" work. The young nun named "Joli" was very lively and introduced the names and functions of various halls to Qiao.
The St. Mayan Cathedral is the first cathedral built by the Yingui Church in the Delun Empire, and is also the center of the Diocese of the Delun Empire of the Yingui Church. This cathedral covers a huge area. In addition to the main building in the middle, there are also a large number of outbuildings in the southeast, west and northwest.
For example, the Yingui Church's church hospital, church school, church orphanage, shelter, and even a church cemetery covering an area of hundreds of acres, etc.
Qiao Li is an orphan adopted by Yingui Church Orphanage since childhood. She studied and learned literacy in church schools and learned classic teachings of Yingui Church... When she is older, if her grades are good enough, she will stay in St. Mayan Cathedral to serve as a clergy; if her grades are not ideal enough, she will be sent to the surrounding provinces, towns, and villages to serve as missionary nuns.
Of course, if she showed her talent to transcend the world, then she might be sent to the holy land Daboku, received higher level of training, and had the opportunity to grow into a big figure in the core center of the Yingui Church.
Pass through the main square, through the ornate and sacred corridor of the main hall, through the semicircular worship square behind the main hall, to the west of this semicircular square, next to a frozen small river channel, a long building surrounded by a corridor is the confessional hall of the St. Mayan Cathedral.
The long corridor surrounds the entire confessional hall, and behind the thick wooden doors are separate confessions.
There are hundreds of confessional rooms in the confessional hall... It can be seen how prosperous the ‘business’ here is.
Qiao Li looked at Qiao's uniform, then at the Royal Hydra badge on his neckline, a row of medals hanging on his left chest, nodded vigorously, took Qiao through the confessional hall, through a small garden, and arrived at the door of an exquisite three-story hall.
"Mr. Major, the confessional hall outside is for ordinary citizens of Fort Heidra... A gentleman with a noble status like you has a special and more private confessional room for you."
Qiao Li seriously introduced the functions of the three-story small hall in front of Qiao.
Qiao whistled in surprise: "Wow, what a special design. I'm from Tulun Port, there's no such thing..."
A soft but powerful voice came: "Dear child, this is the imperial capital, there is always something special. In the eyes of my Lord, all believers are equal, and we should treat them equally."
A great nun wearing a silver robe and a silver osmanthus leaf crown made of sterling silver, looks only in his forties, but his eyes are full of vicissitudes of time and a wise "smart" look, slowly walked out of the three-story small palace.
She looked at Joe with a gentle look and said softly: "We will never deliberately treat some believers... However, we are good at our special requirements for believers."
"There are some believers with special identities who require more private confessional space, so we provide them with more private confessional space." The great nun whispered: "We are just to serve believers better and make it easier for them to feel the glory of our Lord, that's all."
Qiao looked at the great nun deeply.
He compared the great nun with the great nun Rosa of the Yingui Church in Tulum Port.
Grand Sister Rosa makes people feel gentle and kind.
The person in front of him, according to Qiao Li's introduction, should be the Grand Sister Eliza, who is the chief executive of the confessional room of St. Maya Cathedral... Dangerous and dangerous. Her strength is so strong that she does not pretend to be a good person, Joe can feel the great danger.
"You are right... all believers are equal. But we always have some special requests, such as, I just ask to meet a great nun with a high enough status." Joe sighed heavily: "I feel that I am guilty, so I must confess to you and pray for forgiveness from the merciful Muteste."
Sister Eliza nodded with satisfaction, and she looked at Qiao Li deeply: "Joly, you have done a good job. Now, go and finish your morning class... Mr. Major, please follow me."
Sister Eliza smiled happily.
A major of the Imperial Army is not rare. In Fort Hydera, generals at all levels walk all over the ground, and colonels and lieutenant colonels are not as good as dogs... let alone a mere major.
However, the badge and medal on Qiao represent his strong background.
Such believers... Even if the Yingui Church has always claimed that all believers are equal... In fact, believers are also divided into hierarchies. Believers like Qiao are the high-quality resources of the Yingui Church!
Without the rich and wealthy believers like Joe, they sold the magic potion of 300,000 gold marks to ghosts!
A short while later, in a confession room that was thirty feet long and twenty feet wide, Qiao knelt on a futon made of silver brocade, put his hands on his chest, and closed his eyes and murmured at the silver osmanthus statue made of sterling silver hanging on the wall.
"Muthesti, may you forgive my sins,"
"I follow my mother, Riya, and become your believer...My sin has nothing to do with my mother, it is all my own fault."
"I should have come to you long ago to confess to you my past mistakes and future mistakes. They are His Highness Salian's faults. He stuffed me into the military university, and I have no time to come to you."
Grand Sister Eliza stood quietly beside Joe. When she heard "His Highness Salian", her ears trembled slightly, and the smile on her face became more gentle, more friendly, and more warm.
"Forgive me...I broke my oath."
After that, Qiao did not speak, but instead muttered in his heart.
When accepting the apology from the Super Junkers of Ruhr City headed by the Bergman family, in front of Sallyan, when he promised to resolve all the previous conflicts and disputes, Joe swore to Muteste that he would keep his promise and would not pursue any investigation against Justice Bell and Viron.
In the past, when Qiao had not yet opened up his spiritual sea and was still stupid and honest, he would keep his promises.
But now Joe has become smarter...
"Mutestestra, I will break my oath, and I must respond to them... They threaten my family, my only relatives in the world."
"Uncle Ghost Face is right. The best enemy is the dead enemy. Only by killing all enemies, my relatives, my friends and we will be safe and we can live a peaceful and peaceful life."
"I will inevitably break my oath, this is disrespect for you... Therefore, I will confess to you, express my repentance to you in advance, and at the same time redeem my sins."
"May you bless my father Hesen, my mother Lia, my brother Gorkin, my sister Tifa, my sister Weima... Bless Mr. Si Gengs, uncle Ya... Bless Lan Mujin, Lan Likko... Bless Marcos... Bless... Uh, if you have time and are in a good mood, take care of Da Yifan..."
"If you are in a bad mood and have no time, he will die if he dies... He came for no reason, and I am not at ease with him!"
"Well, please bless the Weitu family, bless the Rose Chamber of Commerce, bless the ocean cargo ships of the Rose Chamber of Commerce... bless all the sailors of the Weitu family... all the guards... bless the cute big dogs of the Weitu family..."
Qiao was nagging, and kept talking for half an hour.
Finally, he stood up and handed a traveler's check to Grand Sister Eliza: "Great Grand Sister Eliza, please add some blessing oil to me and my family in front of the statue of Muteste!"
Sister Eliza glanced at the numbers on the check quickly.
Chapter completed!
