Chapter 269 Sincerity
“You have quite a lot of titles…”
Colin looked at Vanessa, who was so excited, and couldn't help but feel curious about the saint.
After all, when Helena was taking in the source behind "lycanthropy" and "0-09·Hunger", it seemed that she was influenced by this saint.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for Colin to mobilize the people in that city to assist him.
In this respect, he owed the other party a favor.
The only thing I don't understand is why the other party would help a stranger like me.
In addition, among the refugees that Colin himself helped, the person who was heard chanting the most, apart from the four gods of the Kingdom of Knights and the three religions, was generally the Saint of the "Light" Church.
Even many of the lower-class believers of the religion, while believing in their own gods, would pray to the Saint of the "Light" religion, giving them the feeling of being in Cao's camp but with their hearts still with Han.
Colin himself had experienced this kind of thing quite often - many refugees would thank the "Saint" for the gift of food as soon as they received it.
Of course, the reason why Colin missed the other party so much was definitely not because he saw the refugees eating the food he distributed, drinking the water he distributed, living in the houses he arranged, but praying to other people.
However, in Colin's opinion, the saint mentioned by the refugees showed some signs of being deified.
He was very curious about what such a famous person was like in real life...
"When will she come? I have to entertain her properly."
Colin said sincerely that to be able to escape from a huge-scale disaster with countless soy sauce bottles, one could tell that his strength must be very strong.
And according to the fragmentary information he collected, the other party is indeed one of the strongest people in the world.
Plus its extraordinary status...
Colin could only pray that nothing happened to the other party.
Otherwise, if those crazy believers of the other side came to kill him, Colin didn’t know if he could withstand it.
"I don't know, maybe half a month or a month?"
"Half a month or a month, that's not urgent..."
Colin pursed his lips and calculated: half a month is one month, and one month is two months.
There is plenty of time.
"Yeah." After announcing the saint's safe return, Vanessa's wheat-colored face became more relaxed. Then, she took out a small object from her pocket and held it in front of Colin:
"Mr. Colin, do you still have this thing? I, I want to ask for one, and then let Her Excellency the Saint have a taste. I can use my work time to compensate you!"
Colin looked down and saw that it was a White Rabbit candy with one third of it left.
He remembered that this thing was given to her last week, and it was obvious that she ate it very frugally.
"You gave me two before, and I wanted to keep one, but... it was really delicious. It was the first time I ate something like this, and I couldn't help it."
Vanessa lowered her head and spoke like a child who had done something wrong, and she was just short of reciting scriptures to pray for atonement.
Wouldn't it be too cheap to use this thing to entertain the saint?
Ke Lin felt a little amused and took out a few candies from his pocket: "That kind of candy is temporarily out of stock, but I do have some other fruit-flavored ones. They taste good if you try them..."
"Ah?" Vanessa was a little disappointed after hearing Colin's words, but after trying it, her eyes lit up. It tasted sour and sweet with a fruity flavor she had never eaten before, and it felt good.
If I had a choice, the white toffee would be better.
then.
The little nun was thinking about something. She closed her eyes sincerely and muttered something. Although her voice was very low, Colin still heard something like "Thank you for the saint's 'revelation' that allowed her to come here, thank you Mr. Colin" and so on...
My goodness, what does the candy I gave her have to do with her... Ke Lin narrowed his eyes slightly, and waited for her to finish praying before saying:
"I'll bring some more next time. However, I think the Saint may care more about something other than a few candies..."
"Ah? What could that be?" the little nun asked curiously.
"Given the saint's character, I think she would like to see that the people here have houses to live in instead of ruins, have food to eat instead of starving, and that everyone can live and work in peace and contentment without being sad because of illness. Compared to a few candies, perhaps she cares more about this..."
"It seems so." The little nun Vanessa nodded, thinking that Colin was right and understood the saint better than she did.
"But... you see, those houses that have not been rebuilt yet, those wastelands that are being reclaimed, and those people who are full of diseases. We are still a long way to go. This construction site, no, this area needs more people who are willing to rebuild their homes. If we can build more houses as soon as possible for everyone to live in, regardless of their status or wealth, seeing such a scene, the saint will probably be more relieved..."
Colin reached out and patted the little nun on the shoulder. During this period, he had some ideas on how to encourage this inexperienced nun who had a certain sense of "righteousness" and was very strong and could move more than a dozen bricks by herself to selflessly devote herself.
Moreover, compared to her own choice to treat patients with Lin Yilan, Ke Lin really felt that she might as well be transferred to a construction site or farm.
After all, compared to her extremely pure physical strength, the effect of her so-called "light" is not as effective as a pill of amoxicillin.
But what surprised Colin was that just as he finished speaking, the little nun suddenly said, "Mr. Colin, are you serious? Let those people... live in your house? And allow them to move in?"
She pointed at the victims who were still pale and thin but in much better condition...
"Well, we haven't been able to do that yet, but we will work towards that."
Colin nodded. He also discovered these days that the more satisfied the refugees were with this place, the purer their recognition would be. The purer the "colorless crystals" would be, and the faster the production would be.
In fact, bathed in this atmosphere, he felt that his control over the "bonfire" was becoming more and more handy.
This is probably why Ms. Rabbit asked him to do good things...
Colin wasn't sure if he could become a Fire Bearer by doing this, but... it wouldn't cost anything to give it a try.
After hearing his words, the little nun lowered her head and seemed to be struggling with something. Colin was just about to ask her to quickly resolve her doubts -
After all, Silent might have already brought in more than a dozen baskets of clay this time.
At this moment, the little girl suddenly seemed to have made a decision : "I will write a letter and ask some people from the Light Church to send people over. Then they will come to help. They are more powerful than me, and there may be dozens of them..."
She was not completely unaware of Colin's thoughts, but she didn't mind it too much.
Because doing so can really help more people, and it is in line with the only church concept to eliminate suffering after the "Light" Church reform...
There is another key point. As far as she knows, although Colin's side is the territory of the "Kingdom of Knights", because of the terrifying strength it has demonstrated before, it can be called an independent "kingdom".
Even if the nobles were dissatisfied with this place, they couldn't reach out...
"this……"
Colin was stunned for a moment, then reacted and smiled: "Of course you are welcome."
Not long after, the little nun left. Colin thought about several employees again and planned to go back and see if he could upgrade their permissions, use more advanced "gene compensation potions" to improve them, or purchase some physical recovery items.
At this moment, his clothes were pulled and his thoughts were interrupted. When Colin turned his head, he noticed that Xiaohong was pulling him.
Compared to the previous two days, she looked much cleaner and tidier after taking a shower. Her clothes had been changed into linen clothes with a few small patches on them and had turned white from being washed. Her scalp was no longer messy and there were no lice or the like crawling around on it.
Although she was still small, very poor and had a thin face due to long-term malnutrition, she finally looked like a little girl.
Before figuring out why her eyes turned red, Kelin decided to keep her with him...
"What's wrong?" Colin touched his head and took out candy from his pocket, but the little girl looked at it eagerly and did not accept it. Instead, she said in a childish voice: "I, can I do anything to help you?"
You are still a child laborer... Ke Lin looked at the little girl who was less than 1.2 meters tall and had no idea how old she was. "I will teach you something in a few days. For now, just follow me around the territory."
"Yeah." Xiaohong stared at his face and blinked.
"hehe……"
Colin reached out and touched her head, and decided to give her the children's favorite lesson and three exercises.
"Sister Xiaohong..."
At this time, a child ran over with a smile, but when he saw Colin, his voice suddenly stopped and he looked inexplicably afraid.
"What's the matter?" Xiaohong let go of the hand that was holding Kelin's clothes, like a big sister.
"The mole seems to be dying..."
After Colin rescued them, the two moles that were originally caught as snacks were temporarily raised.
But unfortunately, one of them seemed to be dying today for some reason...
However, this should be a very sad thing for a normal child, but for some reason, all Colin saw on his face was a smile that he couldn't hide -
Looks like he's looking forward to the feast.
