Chapter 46 Preparation
Africa is divided into two seasons, namely the rainy season and the dry season. Now the rainy season has passed, and the dry season has passed by nearly a month. The Pope Palace in Luxi City, Soma is becoming more and more perfect. With Zhou Jue's personal supervision, it has now come to the end of completion. After the end, it will be the renovation of the Pope Palace. This is a huge project, but of course it is countless times smaller than the construction of the Pope Palace.
Since the construction of the Pope Palace is coming to an end, we will also begin to prepare for the founding ceremony. This matter is of great importance, which makes both the Soma government and the Church more nervous. The agreement between the Church and the Soma government has been settled, and the new code has been formulated and completed. Of course, there may be many imperfections and unreasonable aspects, which can only be revised and improved one by one in the future. It should be noted that establishing a code cannot be completed by thinking about it. What is required is practice, and no one can fully predict the future.
"Luqi, go and hand over this order to the procurement department and let them purchase it as soon as possible." Zhou Jue handed a purchase order to a young priest. The pastor's face was full of piety, which was his piety to the Lord. He also showed a meticulous expression in his eyes. This was also the reason why Zhou Jue asked him to follow Zhou Jue.
"It's my lord!" Luqi took the purchase order and retreated from the office. He silently recited a praise in his heart. His expression was particularly serious. This was very important to him. This was related to the Lord's majesty in the mortal world. God is supreme. At the same time as the founding ceremony, a divine grace event was also held at the same time, so he must be cautious and cautious. He does not allow any problems to occur on his own. This is to show that his faith in the Lord is pious enough.
After Zhou Jue handed over the purchase order, he devoted himself to another thing. It seems that there will be nearly five months left before the National Convention officially begins, but in fact these five months are not enough. Many things will flow into him in a series. Of course, he is not the only one who is so busy. Zhang Xiaojian, who is temporarily living in the Soli Temple, agrees to be busy.
The invitations will be written by him to hand over to the heads of neighboring countries around him to attend the founding ceremony held by Soma. Even if the other party does not come here, they must write it, because this is a matter of etiquette. At the same time, the Soma will become a new country and hand it over to the United Nations.
...
In a small family in a 50% building in Luxi City, a Soma resident is preparing a sumptuous meal. This is a sumptuous dinner to celebrate the coming of the new day. Such sumptuous dinners will be held every weekend night and will last until the founding ceremony officially begins.
This is a preparation for a new life. There are five people in this small family, the Soma and his three children. The oldest is fifteen years old and the youngest is only four years old.
Elro was gathering with his three children at the dining table, full of hearty and delicious food, including fresh and delicious bread, fried fish and barbecue, and of course turkey. On the table, there was also a local specialty roasted bat. A pot of earth mud, and a plate of golden fried rice in front of each person, with corn kernels and ham, which was very fragrant.
All three children set their eyes on the food on the table, while Elro had a pious face, his hands clasped on his chest, and a balance necklace hung around his neck, which was the upper part of the Holy Emblem. The Holy Emblem is composed of a shield and a balance sword. Separated it happened to be a balance and a shield.
Ordinary people are not qualified to wear the holy emblem, because it is a holy thing, a sacred thing, and he symbolizes the great master of fate, Tuluo. Wearing the holy emblem is equivalent to God's eyes staring at the wearer. This will make ordinary wearers uncomfortable, and of course they do not have the qualifications.
Only priests can wear the holy emblem, and ordinary people can only wear the upper or lower part of the holy emblem. To wear it, it depends on the believer's preference for the doctrine. In the doctrine of the Temple of Destiny, it is mainly divided into two parts, one is destiny, and the other is protection and light.
Elro was muttering a word, and he was reciting the doctrines about the Lord, and they kept spitting out of his mouth and falling into the ears of the three children on the dining table. As he read more and more, the three originally hungry children all focused on their fathers.
"Thank you Lord! Allow is kelp soup!" Allow's wife walked out of the kitchen. The house was not brought and was not decorated, so it looked very simple, but the room was filled with a warm atmosphere.
Elro's wife put the bowl of kelp soup on the dining table. Suddenly, the heat emitted by the kelp soup erupted, mixed with various foods, which made everyone unable to help swallowing their saliva and their throats kept squirming. Even Elro was not included, and he couldn't help it at this moment.
"Praise the Lord!" Elro said loudly. This voice was like a clear spring that instantly poured from his head, making him smart all over, making him awake immediately and suppressing his inner desire. "Praise the great Tulo, giving us food, allowing us to feel this unprecedented warmth, and freeing us from suffering!"
"Praise the Lord..." His wife and children praised them, and they were all grateful to the Lord in their mouths. If his church had not appeared, they would have been wandering around the streets and alleys to seek food to maintain their lives. How could the table be filled with food like now, which they dared not think of before.
After they read this praise, they started to pick up the new tableware they were not familiar with - chopsticks. This is a new rule issued by the church. Soma must use tableware to maintain hygiene in the future to increase their lifespan. The main tableware recommended by the church is naturally chopsticks, and explained in detail its benefits.
Of course, this does not require everyone to obey. Elro immediately implemented this regulation because it was said that it was God's will. It has been passed down by the hands of Africa for thousands of years, so how could it be changed at once? At that time, Zhang Xiaojian had to use the name of the main soul again. Eating with chopsticks was very helpful for extending the lifespan of the Soma people, and he also asked the church to start promoting new food practices.
The most mainstream food in Africa is naturally fried and roasted, everything must be roasted. As we all know, fried and roasted are not good for health. If Zhang Xiaojian wants this country to truly enter a well-off society, natural diet needs to be improved. Of course, it is more important that believers live longer, the better. One thing that makes Zhang Xiaojian care is that after the death of believers, they become prayers in the Kingdom of God, and it is only one-tenth of their daily faith that they have during their lifetime, and it is even more difficult to achieve. This extra twenty-year life span can produce too much faith power. (The average life span of Africans is nearly twenty years lower than that of normal people.)
When the first mouthful of food came into their mouths, they couldn't help but sigh and told again to praise the Lord who gave them all.
"By the way, how is my lovely wife preparing for the founding ceremony recently?" Elro asked his wife.
"Ailo, don't you believe me? Don't worry, I'm ready for the divine grace activity you value most, and wait until that day comes!" Allo's wife's face was full of happiness. She looked like she had recovered due to malnutrition. "By the way, whenever I see that magnificent Pope Palace, I can't help but feel excited. I really want to go in and visit. But only the priests can enter the palace that is so close to God!"
Speaking of this, she felt a little disappointed.
"Don't worry, my dear!" Allow looked at his wife, "Don't worry, I will definitely become a qualified priest in the future and enter the magnificent palace. I will definitely invite you to visit at that time. Now you only need to keep that pious heart."
Their children are burying their hardships, and those who have not experienced hunger will never know how heavy the meaning of this sumptuous supper is to them.
Such stories are staged one by one throughout Soma. They are all devout believers, who welcome the upcoming divine grace activities and founding ceremony with a sumptuous supper. Only in this sumptuous supper can they better experience this hard-won life, and thus their faith in their hearts is stronger, for themselves and the god.
...
The whole Soma was silent in joy, and countless songs and laughter were present in Soma. The gloomy past of Soma was swept away. With the help of the church, the people of Soma have once again received this long-awaited warmth, sitting with their closest people, enjoying the late warmth.
Looking down from Soma, you can find that the entire Soma is shrouded in a layer of faint milky white light, which is particularly rich in Soli Port near the sea. This is the spiritual light of faith. The spiritual light of faith formed by a country's faith. As time goes by, the faith of the Soma people become more and more pious, and this spiritual light of faith will become more and more intense.
Under the cover of this spiritual light of faith, it is enough to ensure that believers are free from illness and healthy throughout their lives. It ensures peace and prosperity in Soma and good weather.
Soma is welcoming the founding ceremony, and the holy mountain of Country Z is also in joy. His Highness is preparing to return home the next day, and Archbishop Li Liang also issued an order to slow down his work in the near future without having to work so hard.
In the temple on the holy mountain, this temple is much worse than the temple of Sori, but its momentum is not at all, or even more intense, because the statue carrying the statue space is in the back garden of the temple, and divine power will naturally cover the entire holy mountain.
"Thank you, Lord!" Li Liang stood in front of the statue and prayed quietly. After a long time, he stopped. When the moment he stopped, his whole body suddenly changed, and the pressure filled his body became heavier and heavier. This made the temple knights in the temple look shocked. They all felt the strong aura on the Archbishop, like a mountain, which was enough to be comparable to the momentum before the Pope left. (To be continued.)
