Cosma Empire

"This is a private place, you can't enter without permission!"

Carter, who was receiving members, frowned. He smiled and said sorry to a member, and then walked outside the church.

Members will gather here every Saturday to exchange what happened in the past week, and perhaps discuss some topics of interest to everyone. Time never seems to be late, and there is no doubt that Saturday is here again.

When this small church was built, some people were very curious, and some church members even thought it was a church of God, and they even wanted to come to pray and repent.

In the early days, under the influence of the church, the empire did not recognize other sects except the church. Until later, in order to dilute the power and strength of the church in the empire, during the seventh emperor, the old man had an idea and announced a new imperial law to promote religion. Freedom, so the church of the gods of the Gushaya people, the witch religion of the barbarians, and the religion of the gods of the Irians all began to spread. Except for remote areas, there are always these churches called "pagan" churches in prosperous cities.

After dismissing many misunderstood residents in a row, the place is finally a lot cleaner, and no one thinks about coming to pray. In fact, not to mention the statues of the former kings and gods here, there is not even a colorful painting here. Even if people come in, they are probably confused, and they can't tell what kind of church this is.

Hearing the voices outside, Carter realized that there might be some "stupid people" trying to break in. As soon as he stepped out of the church gate, he saw a few drunks outside the yard with wine bottles in their hands, reuniting with their fellow countrymen. The members pushed and shoved. Perhaps seeing Carter, the members became more active. One of them pushed a drunk man to the ground, and the other drunks suddenly became violent under the influence of alcohol.

When a wine bottle was about to be smashed, everyone seemed to be frozen. Their eyes were all locked on the body of the Haus Luwei slowly parked on the side of the road. The silvery car paint is like a small moon even in the dark night, reflecting the silvery white moonlight. Don't say they can't afford such a car, they probably can't even afford a wheel.

Duffer, who was wearing formal attire and a yarmulke, glanced at the drunks, and got down from the co-pilot to open the car door for Durin. Durin was dressed similarly to Duffer, with a formal attire and a hat. He glanced in disgust at the drunks who were about to fight under the light, and walked directly towards the church. The drunks suddenly sobered up a lot, and there was a trace of timidity hidden in the eyes looking at Du Lin's back.

Duffer was smoking a cigarette, and when he walked to the light, he put the cigarette in his mouth, and looked at the drunks, his eyes swept over the faces of each of them, and then directly from the drunk who raised the bottle high He snatched the wine bottle from his hand and slammed it on the man's head. Broken glass slag, blood, and wine are like a flower that suddenly blooms in an instant. Whether it was the members guarding outside the church, or the group of drunks who used alcohol to make trouble and wanted to extort some money, they were all dumbfounded.

Duffer looked at the limp guy on the ground,

He took out a circle of money from his pocket, counted five two-dollar bills and threw them on the drunk who seemed to be unconscious. He didn't even bother to take another look, and followed Du Lin again. Just as he was about to enter the church yard, he showed a stern expression to the fellow members guarding the iron gate, "Remember, the Guarts have no cowards. Either die in battle or win!"

Those drunks look at me and I look at you, it seems that the alcohol has passed. They silently dragged the two arms of their companion who fell on the ground, picked up the ten yuan, and left in silence. They can play tricks with the residents who also live here in the fifth district, but facing characters who can afford such a luxury car, even if a hundred of them together are not enough for everyone.

"You are here!" Carter bent down very respectfully. In fact, from the day he first met Du Lin, he was not an ordinary Guart. According to the custom, Carter is already Du Lin's retainer, he is Du Lin's private "item", and Du Lin can decide his life or death with one word. So he is very respectful to Du Lin, not only because of the relationship between him and Du Lin, but also because Du Lin gave him the opportunity to kill his enemies.

If it wasn't for Du Lin, let alone taking revenge and beating that old bastard to death with his own hands, he might even be slaughtered by that old bastard.

Du Lin nodded slightly, and stepped into the church. The originally noisy church became silent in an instant, leaving only the sound of kicking when the sole of a shoe touched the floor. Under the "all eyes", Du Lin walked to the supporting platform, he looked up at this simple church, and quickly withdrew his gaze. He took off his hat and put it on the host stage. With a smile on his face, he pronounced his name clearly.

"Others like to call me Mr. 350,000, but you can call me Du Lin!"

The entire church was silent, and Du Lin didn't feel any embarrassment. He understood the mentality and emotions of these people at this time. It was like a fairy tale that suddenly became true one day. accepted in time. He shrugged his shoulders and continued, "Carter wishes I could come once, and I think so too. Don't think I'm any different from you. We're no different!"

"I'm a guart, and a year ago I wasn't much different from any of you here. I'm from a small city, and the first money I got was running errands, the first money I made It’s for those rich people to wash their cars, and they gave me a car wash fee.”, these things Dooling said do not seem to be much different from the lives experienced by these Guarts living in the fifth district, and at the same time his special The angle immediately caught the hearts of these young people.

A year ago, he was just a car washer, but a year later, he already owned a manor worth 350,000 yuan, drove a luxury car, and held a lot of money in his hands. The members who can appear in the church today are not "honest" children. They also want to hear how this Mr. Du Lin with 350,000 yuan completed his transition from poverty to wealth in a very short period of time.

"I used to think that I could open a regular car wash shop with the money I earn from car washing, and I can also repair or decorate cars by the way. I would open my shop all over the empire. When people see me, they will be right. The people around them said, look, that is the car wash tycoon of the empire!", he couldn't help laughing when he said this, and some members had smiles on their faces, he shook his head, "Ideals are just ideals after all, It's nice, but not realistic."

"My mind was soon bloodied with a hostile reality, and I asked myself why when you find a path that seems to lead to the light, you never take the last step? I thought After a long time, I suddenly understood, because I don’t fight, I don’t grab, because I haven’t learned to resist, I can’t do anything except bow my head. I asked myself again, how should I choose, if I go back to the countryside to be a farmer Maybe I won't encounter any troublesome things in this life, and those crops won't hit me..."

His self-deprecating and ironic words resonated with many members, and the atmosphere suddenly became heated, and some people laughed out loud.

"But!" He pointed at the sky with a finger, and the smile on his face gradually turned serious, "Will I be willing? Will I be willing to exchange the most precious thing in my life for a mediocre one? ", he was asking himself this sentence, and at the same time interrogating the hearts of every member present. He shook his head slowly and spit out a heavy syllable, "No!"

"I can not be reconciled!"

"Then I did some disgraceful things and broke the law, but I didn't get the consequences people told me I should have. Instead, I got status, prestige, wealth, power. What happened to this society, this country? ? Did they deceive me, weaving a lie to deceive me for more than ten years, or did I deceive myself?"

"I think I lied to myself, and I told myself, to be a person who conforms to social morality and ethics, life will be better!"

"I told myself to abide by the law and not do things that are not allowed by the law, so that I will have a perfect life!"

"I told myself that if I live honestly, there may be things that don't go my way in this life, but I won't have any regrets!"

He nodded and met the eyes of those people, "Yes, I lied to myself! There has never been any karma, so many people who have done bad things are still at large, so many people who have violated conscience and morality Still drunk, so many people who are not willing to live an ordinary life are feasting and feasting!"

"Who is lying to whom?"

"Today, you can choose to bow your head, but you have to remember that if you still have hope in your heart and the future, you can't see it when you bow your head. There is a saying I want to tell you, it's easy to be a coward, bow your head See where you're going, and you'll never fall, but if you want to run, and embrace the bright future and hope, hold your head up."

"There is nothing more terrifying than living a mediocre life. Living in mediocrity, I would rather die in the fire. At least I declare to the world that I have tried."

"In five days, our first batch of wine will leave Irian and send it to some places to bring hope to those compatriots who are still living in darkness. In fact, I hesitated before making this decision. I I brought them hope, but also brought them destruction. They will bleed to death because of one of my decisions, and many of my compatriots will fall on the road to the future. Is it worth it? Is it appropriate? "

A smile appeared on Du Lin's face, and he said firmly, "It's worth it!"
