0034 Did you really make me bow down to the Flying Goddess?
After Zhou Yun threw the eagle-headed statues pointing at Tzeentch into the donation box of the Temple of the War King,
He arrived at the Catholic church, where dinner was being served. Five or six children, about the same age as Diana, were sitting obediently on the church pews, waiting for the meal to begin.
Diana is cooking soup in the mosaic, Bishop Agrippa is chopping tomatoes, and a strange old man with a soup pot on his head is cooking noodles.
"Cooking? Mind if I mooch a meal?" Zhou Yun walked in with a smile and greeted Bishop Agrippa and Diana.
Diana waved happily when she saw Zhou Yun, while Agrippa frowned slightly.
"Wizard, what brings you here today?" Agrippa said. "Today is our pasta night. If you want to perform witchcraft, wait until tomorrow. The children are here, and I'm afraid you might do something dangerous."
"Can I wait until 1 a.m. tomorrow?" Zhou Yun walked up to Agrippa, who was cutting tomatoes, and quickly stole a tomato from the table in front of Agrippa and stuffed it into his mouth.
Mmm...it's sweet and sour, very delicious.
At the same time, Zhou Yun took out ten dinars from his pocket and placed them on the table: "I'll be using that room frequently lately, this is the rent."
"Fine, do whatever you want after the kids leave, just pay me." Agrippa's attitude softened a bit when he saw the money.
What Zhou Yun found a little strange was that Agrippa didn't ask for money for the tomato he had just eaten.
"So, can I mooch a meal?" Zhou Yun asked again.
Agrippa shrugged and looked at the strange old man with a soup pot on his head.
"Are you hungry? If you are, I'll cook noodles for you whenever you want," the fat old man said with a smile.
"I'm actually quite hungry," Zhou Yun said, clutching his stomach. "Also, could it be that you are...?"
"I'm the first eater of this year's Flying Spaghetti Monster. You can call me Laganon, my wizard friend."
The Flying Spaghetti Monsters' recipe calls for eating laganon first...
"First of all, I am not a wizard, I am just an ordinary grammar teacher. You can call me Zhou Yun."
"Secondly, I thought it was a Catholic church."
Zhou Yun gestured around and said.
"Zhou Yun..." The man muttered Zhou Yun's name for a moment, then looked at Zhou Yun with curiosity: "So that's how it is. You are Zhou Yun, the grammar teacher who won more than 50,000 dinars in one go at the bathhouse run by the Temple of Simeneta."
"As for why I'm here, haha, I don't care whether anyone has any faith or not, I only care whether anyone is hungry."
Zhou Yun frowned. Although he had won a lot of money, 50,000 dinars was just a single betting chip in the hands of many Macurac nobles. How could this person know about him?
He became slightly more wary, his gaze tightening as he looked at the person who was eating first... He noticed some faintly visible noodles swirling around the person eating first.
What is this thing? It looks like some kind of subspace entity... Dude, does this flying spaghetti monster really have a subspace entity? You actually conjured it up?
Zhou Yun's expression turned strange.
"I know you, simply because I have a fairly good relationship with the High Priest of the Shattered Lighthouse Church. You may not know this, but the Shattered Lighthouse is not very popular with the Macragge nobles. They prefer to deposit their money in the Temple of Simeneta, the Temple of the War King, or the Temple of the Tarrassa. The Shattered Lighthouse only accepts small deposits."
"A single deposit of 50,000 is enough to attract the attention of our meticulous High Priest of the Broken Lighthouse, Imhotep."
The High Priest of the Broken Lighthouse noticed him... just because of the savings? Zhou Yun didn't quite believe the explanation that the man who ate first was right.
"Please find a seat, my noodles will be ready soon."
Zhou Yun found a seat in the front row, then turned to look at the children behind him. He took out a few dinars from his pocket and gave one to each child.
The children were initially a little confused, but once they realized it was a gift from Zhou Yun, their expressions immediately became excited. They repeatedly expressed their gratitude to Zhou Yun, which caused Zhou Yun's spiritual energy derived from faith to rise slightly... well, this gratitude provided more than the students' admiration.
Before long, Bishop Agrippa, Diana, and the man who had eaten first, Laganon, brought out plates of pasta and vegetable soup and distributed them to Zhou Yun and each of the children.
The noodles were very chewy, the tomato meat sauce was sweet and sour, and the vegetable soup Diana cooked was also good.
After taking a couple of bites, Zhou Yun looked at Bishop Agrippa sitting next to him and asked, "Who are these children?"
"The children of the fallen warriors after the last Illirium Expedition," Agrippa said, glancing at Zhou Yun after taking a couple of bites of pasta.
"Don't they have a large sum of compensation?" Zhou Yun asked, raising an eyebrow.
"They also have greedy relatives," Agrippa sneered. "Many greedy and foolish people don't have the guts to rob nobles, but they do have the guts to rob children's pensions."
Oh... Same situation as Tita. If Tita didn't have a predecessor, she probably would be with these children too.
"Lord Connor is a good ruler, but he is still human after all. He can make Macurag better, but it's difficult to make everyone better." First, Laganon finished his pasta very quickly, looked up at Zhou Yun and Agrippa, and said, "That's why I teach us to start by loving those around us, because it's not the monarch who can help them, but ourselves."
"Lord Zhou Yun, you must be a good person too." With that, Laganon looked at the children who were delighted to receive the silver coins and said, "You should also know something about what's in those 'Magnificent Noodle Soup,' so I advise you: the divine 'Lewd Great Burner' behind that priest Libo is far superior to what I could cook."
"If you've recently sensed any hostility directed at you, your only hope is to gain the protection of the 'Fiery Violent Maniac' deity behind the Temple of the Warlord, or... try your luck at the Temple of the Shattered Lighthouse."
"......" Zhou Yun could hardly contain his excitement when he heard this person say that he should eat first.
"Magnificent noodle soup" likely refers to subspace.
"Lustful and rampant burning of the penis," is this not a sin of lust?
"Fiery and violent maniac" should be interpreted as terror.
How did they come up with these words?
And then there's the broken lighthouse... Although Zhou Yun wanted Pharos, he didn't have much trust in the divinity within it.
That's a Star God. According to Zhou Yun's memories from his previous life, there was a Supreme Star God fragment in the Pharos Lighthouse. It was made up of more than ten or even a hundred Star God fragments. In addition, there were eight Star God fragments of unknown identity sealed in the lighthouse. In the worst case, they were all Supreme Star God fragments.
If they hadn't been sealed away by the undead and used as batteries, these fragments of the Star Gods could have turned the entire Eastern Galaxy upside down.
If Zhou Yun were to accidentally release them, he would have no choice but to devoutly embrace Catholicism and pray that some primitive Roman knight with a dead eagle strapped to his chest would appear with a silver spear.
Zhou Yun ignored Laganong, closed his eyes and waited until one o'clock, after the children had all left, before stepping into the triangular room deep inside the church.
