The Wizard’s Fairy Tale

The bearded man had a look of "I am serious about being funny, why are you still not laughing", which successfully made William smile awkwardly.

There was a flash of joy in his eyes, his brows and eyes stretched out, showing a victorious look, and then he said, "Joseph, haven't you heard the story of Saint Joseph, Joseph?"

William was stunned: How do I know the story of the ghost Joseph, I just made up a random name.

Usually, there is a magic mirror on his body. As William's "magic version of personal smart assistant and radar", the magic mirror will always provide William with all kinds of information he wants in a timely and accurate manner.

But now that William is "deep into the tiger's den", the magic mirror is not on him.

Faced with this situation, William had no choice but to show an awkward yet polite smile, facing the bearded man.

The bearded man waited for a while, but he didn't wait for William to speak. His comfortable expression gradually turned into surprise. He looked at William, "No way, Joseph, you don't know the deeds of Saint Joseph? Don't your parents know?" Didn't I tell you? Didn't the pastor of your church say it when he preached?"

The polite smile on William's face became wider, and he said uncertainly, "Maybe...maybe...you said it."

The bearded man was speechless, "Well, Joseph, I really doubt if you are a true believer... Sorry, that's not what I meant... I was just talking nonsense..."

As soon as Xi Lu said the words, he realized that the words were extremely hurtful, and apologized quickly.

In the Church of the Holy Light, doubting whether a person is a true believer is enough words and deeds to cause war.

The bearded man was only surprised by William's ignorance, but he didn't want to become an enemy with William, whom he had just met.

"The Holy Light will know everything." William said calmly. As the "son of the evil god", he was not a believer of the Lord of the Holy Light.

"Yes, Joseph, your words are always very philosophical. Yes, the Holy Light will know everything." Silhouette, the bearded man, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and said to William.

"Hehe..." William smiled awkwardly but politely again.

Xilu, a bearded man, was talking by himself, but seeing that William didn't answer, the topic stopped abruptly.

The surrounding quiet down.

The atmosphere was a little awkward—at least, the bearded man Xilu felt a little embarrassed in his heart. He felt that on such a holy day, the pilgrims from afar should not be disappointed.

So he thought about it, found a topic for himself and said, "Joseph, let me tell you the story of St. Joseph."

"..." William still smiled awkwardly and politely, but he rolled his eyes in his heart: Big brother, did you see through my identity, and was sent by the Holy See of the Holy Light to test me?

Of course, William secretly observed the bearded man Xi Lu for so long, and felt that the possibility of this Xi Lu being a spy of the Holy See of the Holy Light was very low, because the actions of the Holy Light of the Holy See had always been domineering. If they found William, first What to do is not to send people to test, but to directly send people to capture, and even execute him on the spot. How can Xi Lu have such a gentle chat.

In William's heart, he prefers that the bearded man Xilu is just a boring old man.

William didn't speak, and Xilu, a bearded man, felt that William had acquiesced.

So he happily told William the story of Saint Joseph.

"St. Joseph is a respectable old man with a white beard! He practiced the path of the Holy Light, walked with the Holy Light, he did not pursue fame and wealth, and did not miss power. He was a noble hermit... "

William listened casually, and some information about the Holy See of the Holy Light also entered William's mind from the mouth of the bearded man Xilu.

The bearded man Xilu said that in the history of the Holy Light's development, there are two kinds of people who are most respected by believers.

One is the Red Martyr.

After the Lord of Holy Light came, he fought against evil gods and false gods. At that time, some believers or priests with firm beliefs,

Killed by evil forces.

These people are called the Red Martyrs.

Among the red martyrs, many were later canonized as saints by the Holy See of the Holy Light.

The other is the white martyr.

After the forces of evil gods and false gods were wiped out, the Holy Light's Holy See began to rule this land.

Corruption comes with human nature.

Some devout believers or priests, who don't want to be filthy, don't care about power, go into the deep mountains or forests, and practice the path of the holy light alone.

These believers or priests who sacrificed their power and status and a comfortable life are called white martyrs.

And according to Xilu, a bearded man, St. Joseph was one of the white martyrs.

"... St. Joseph lived in a small house in the forest. Once, a little girl who was not liked by her mother got lost in the forest and came to the house where St. Joseph lived."

"Saint Joseph let the little girl into his room, warmed the little girl by a fire, and gave the little girl some carrots."

"This poor little girl washed and scraped the carrots, took the pancakes and bread cubes given by her mother, mixed them together and cooked a pot of porridge. When it was cooked, St. Joseph suddenly came to test the little girl , So St. Joseph asked the little girl to give him something to eat, and the little girl spooned a big bowl of porridge for him. In the middle of the night, the little girl took the initiative to sleep on the grass and let St. Joseph sleep on the bed..."

"St. Joseph was very satisfied with this. When the little girl woke up the next day, he specially left a bag for the little girl and showed her the way home..."

"After the little girl came home, she talked about it with her eccentric mother..."

"In this way, her eldest sister was bitten to death by a poisonous lizard, and her mother was also bitten. This is a punishment for the mother who did not educate her daughter well..."

After telling the story of Saint Joseph, the bearded man Xilu sighed, and he said to William seriously.

"Joseph, this is Saint Joseph teaching us that kind people will be treated with tenderness by the world."

And William, who had no emotion after listening to the story of Saint Joseph, didn't feel any disturbance in his heart, but when he heard the summary of the bearded man, William couldn't help getting goosebumps all over his body.

Kind? gentle? Hehehe!

But looking up at Xilu, a bearded man, he looked very serious and approved, and William instantly gave up the desire to reason with him, even if it was only a little bit.

However, the bearded man Xilu's familiarity with many allusions gave William an idea.

If William remembered correctly, the former owner of the thing he was looking for seemed to be a so-called white martyr.
