Chapter 2 The Backward World

The reels of the carriage were making a "squeak" sound. The ground of Blackwater City was paved with irregular bluestone, which was very uneven. Sitting in the carriage felt a little bumpy.

Mei Xue was sitting beside Merlin, and the faint girly fragrance wafting from her made Merlin feel very comfortable, but the carriage was too bumpy. Slightly bent, this position made him feel more comfortable.

However, Mei Xue was very dissatisfied. She glanced at Merlin's legs in front of her, frowned slightly and said, "Merlin, can't you put your legs away? You are a nobleman, and you should have the demeanor of a nobleman."

"I'll lie down for a while, I didn't sleep well last night."

Merlin was perfunctory, still going his own way, maintaining the most comfortable posture for him.

Mei Xue unexpectedly did not compete with Merlin. She bit her lip lightly with a worried look on her face, and asked cautiously, "Is it because of Avril?"

Merlin didn't answer, but Mei Xue continued on her own: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much, Avril is officially engaged to you after all. This is the testimony of decades of friendship between the Barman family and my Wilson family. Avril will marry you eventually. But don't fool around in the future, spend more on Avril, maybe she will like you."

Although Merlin closed his eyes, he didn't really fall asleep. He also took Mei Xue's words firmly in his heart.

"Avril is my fiancee? But what Mei Xue said, it seems that Avril doesn't like me... How come I don't have the slightest impression in my memory?"

Merlin only gained a part of his memory, while some memories disappeared permanently. In order not to reveal his fault and be suspected by others, he had to pay attention to every word of everyone around him and analyze the key information.

Like Avril mentioned by Mei Xue, it must be very important information, and Merlin also secretly memorized it in his heart.

After lying down for a while, Merlin also felt a little bored, so he lifted the curtain of the car, and a cold wind rushed in, causing Merlin to shiver suddenly.

"It's almost winter..." Merlin said with emotion, it's already September, the last month of autumn, but the cold seems to have arrived earlier.

"Yeah, it's almost winter, and I don't know why this year, the weather is getting colder and colder."

Mei Xue wrapped her clothes tightly and curled up in the corner of the carriage.

It seemed that it was still raining gray and drizzling, and there were not many people on the street. Some were just a group of a dozen homeless people, kneeling on the ground and begging for money from the gorgeously dressed people walking on the street.

These homeless people were dressed in rough linen they didn't know where they came from. They were as thin as hemp ropes. Their eyes were full of longing. There were even some very young children.

When other people saw these homeless people, they all looked disgusted. Some of them covered their mouths and noses and sped away. Merlin glanced at the homeless people lightly, and then focused on a group of riders on the street. young knight on horse.

These knights were all dressed in silver light armor, covering their upper bodies, holding a wooden shield in their hands, and carrying a half-human-high sword behind their backs, which looked majestic. The crowd on the street seemed to be in awe of these knights, and some children showed a hint of envy on their faces when they saw these knights.

Merlin frowned, he didn't know these knights, but he didn't dare to ask Mei Xue.

Mei Xue was in the carriage,

Seeing these knights as well, he seemed very disdainful, and said coldly: "It's these guys again, the knights of the city defense regiment, they are not very useful. With so many people leaving the city, I am afraid which town has encountered thieves again. It's getting more and more uneasy, and there are a large number of thieves in many small towns around Blackwater City."

Merlin didn't speak, but quietly kept all these information in his heart. Now that he has just arrived in this world, the memory in his mind is very confusing, and it is not appropriate to talk too much.

Merlin observed secretly for a while. Although there were only more than 100 knights in the city defense regiment, they were well equipped, and each had a chilling aura.

These knights were about to leave the city, and soon disappeared from Merlin's sight. After watching for a while, Merlin also felt the biting cold wind, so he lowered the curtain and hid in the warm carriage.

I don't know how long it took, the carriage gradually stopped, and Moss, the servant who was driving the carriage, shouted softly, "Master Merlin, Miss Mei Xue, they have already arrived at the church."

"Okay, get out of the car, the church is here!"

Mei Xue seemed full of energy, and jumped out of the carriage at once, and Merlin got out of the carriage after him. He slightly stretched his body and twisted his slightly stiff neck. Only then did he raise his head and saw a church in front of him.

This church covers an extremely wide area, almost the size of four or five football fields. There are ordinary believers and some noble men dressed in noble costumes. They all come to the church in the morning to pray.

The Kingdom of Light believes in the God of Light, and the church is very powerful. There are churches of the Light Church in almost every city. There are many people who come to pray in the morning like now.

Merlin also followed the crowd to the church hall. On the whitewashed walls of the hall, there were huge murals. These brightly colored and vivid huge murals were obviously religious murals praising the God of Light.

Merlin saw that on a mural in the center, there was a tall, blurry, indiscernible deity, exuding a soft holy light. The white holy light shrouded many ordinary believers, including the elderly, children, men, women, nobles, commoners and even criminals. Under the illumination of the holy light, these people showed pious and serene smiles on their faces.

The name of this religious mural is called God Loves the World, and it was written in bright words. Merlin inherited part of the memory in his mind, so he also knew the bright words on the mural.

In addition to this mural of God's love for the world, there are also some murals such as God expelling darkness, God brings light, God punishes the devil, God descends miracles, God blesses believers, etc. Although the stories on the murals Different, but the meaning of the expression is the same, they are all singing praises to the glorious deeds of the God of Light.

The devout believers bowed their heads, put their hands on their chests, and were guided by the pastor. They were praying. For a time, the huge church was filled with the voices of various prayers.

Merlin thought of the scrawny homeless on the street just now, and then seeing people praying devoutly, he finally realized that this is still a very backward world after all!
