C303 Kiss of the Bishop (1/2)

Ever since the day religion was born, it had been entrusted to the human soul. When humans encountered natural disasters, man-made disasters and other irresistible forces, only religion could calm the emotions of humans without breaking down.

In his previous life, Xiao Letian had once heard of a rumor that told him who was the largest real estate agent on Earth and the richest in the world. The answer was without a doubt Christian, the head of the three great human religions. From the time of the Ancient Rome, he had already taken control of the core of Europe.

In addition to the fact that Europe began to colonize the whole world after the The Age of Great Navigation, the power of Christianity expanded rapidly along with the warships and colonies.

The church would always get the best land, and the church would also get the most money to donate, and the wealth would once again be invested in the church. This was a virtuous circle, and the growth of Christianity was very reasonable.

Why was the France always known as the center of aristocratic culture in Europe? Why not the Vienna? This is the cleverness of the French, whose kings have made it their duty to promote Catholicism. They were using complicated Catholic etiquette mixed with aristocratic etiquette to create what looked like a lofty and noble court.

It was this kind of court model that made the French look at the surrounding countries as if they were bumpkins, which then became the mainstream values of Europe under the great propaganda of the Catholic Church.

Thus, Christianity's place in the European mind was such that even the word fanaticism could not properly describe it.

Right now, Bishop of Yax had already stayed in front of Xiao Hexin for more than a minute, the music in the garden had become quieter. Countless barons, viscount, counts and their wives were all paying close attention to the bishop's every move.

The conductor became more and more diffident as she hurriedly controlled the band to lower its pitch. In the end, she decided to stop what she was doing.

”Kid, can you tell me where this scar came from?” When the Bishop finished speaking, Jonas, who was in the crowd, anxiously squeezed forward to translate. Before he could finish, Xiao Hexin had already opened his mouth.

Xiao Hexin had only been in contact with German for less than five months, but for smart people, he could already learn a lot in these five months.

”Bishop... Sir! This is a... Scalded Scar... is in the outskirts of hamburger. ”The ones injured in the fire …” Xiao Hexin's German was extremely stuttering, but he was able to speak every single word accurately, allowing everyone to understand what he meant.

The crowd whispered to each other. Bishop of Yax had a pained expression, ”Oh, child. May God bless you. Please receive the blessings of the Lord …” After saying that, the Bishop actually opened his arms and tried to hug Xiao Hexin.

”Oh, God! The bishop is going to bless the Chinese... ” In Christianity, a bishop's blessing was a very glorious thing. Many times, it was the right of nobles. If ordinary people could obtain the blessing of a priest in a chapel, it was worth being proud of for the rest of their lives.

The higher the rank, the harder it was to obtain such blessings. If the Vatican's Pope were present, even the nobles would kneel down and kiss his feet.

Countless fiery gazes were thrown towards Xiao Hexin. Everyone present knew very well that those who received the blessing of the bishop would not be insulted by any Europeans, because that was a betrayal of God.

But what was inconceivable was that Xiao Hexin actually started to hesitate. He looked around the crowd, looking for Xiao Letian's figure.

In just a few seconds, the entire place was filled with discussion, many people were looking at him with unfriendly eyes, especially Viscount Ah Lan who came from the Austria, he had already taken two big steps forward, and berated him.

”Oriental! Do you dare hesitate before God? You are disrespectful to the Lord... ”If you stand up, I want to duel with you. I definitely won't allow the glory of the Lord to receive even the slightest bit of disrespect …”

My god, this is an intentional scene. If this was a duel, Xiao Letian's political appearance in Europe would become a farce.

Countless people were discussing, and the eyes of the new army youths were spewing fire. If not for their mission today with the ceremonial soldier, they would all have had to pull out their sleeves and beat him up. What dogshit viscount? She was slightly bigger than a cat or dog, yet she still dared to come and ruin the scene.

Just as Ah Lan's farce was about to begin, he was met with a gaze that was like lightning from a bishop. Bishop of Yax merely turned his head slightly and glanced at him. In the end, with just that one glance, Viscount Ah Lan seemed to have gotten an electric shock and immediately shut her gaping mouth, not daring to utter a single word.

In the internal struggle for power in Europe, even if there were two world wars, no one would dare to challenge the dignity of the Pope. No matter what the outcome of the war was, the respect the people and the political leaders of the countries had for the church would not change.

Yaxing gazed at the arrogant Viscount Ah Lan with an intimidating gaze, but he did not retract her open arms. Instead, he continued to look at Xiao Hexin with a smile, and her eyes were filled with benevolence.

This time, Xiao Hexin was under a lot of pressure. They had never thought of this kind of unexpected situation, and did not know how to deal with it. If he accepted the blessing of the bishop, no one could say for sure what would affect his plans for future generations.

Of course, this was only what the new army brothers said afterwards. The most important reason was that everyone had gotten used to Xiao Letian's orders and it had already become a kind of subconscious reaction.

Xiao Letian was not present, so these young men were all dragons and tigers. However, as long as Xiao Letian was by their side, they would subconsciously choose to evade, with the baton forever in Xiao Letian's hands.
