Terra's Magnetic Field

Texas was not like Gui Shao who would ask Handsome if he had eaten in the morning while driving. She drove straight to the Penguin Logistics workstation and hardly stopped except for turning to pick up Kong.

Sora lived in a middle to upper-class residential area not too far from Penguin Logistics. Most of the people living in this area were elite operators above four stars. Rhodes Island made an exception and allowed her to have a house here, considering Sora's idol status with mass influence.

Usually after living here for more than three years, some people will be promoted to senior elite operators, while some people's careers will end here. It can be said that the first three years here are the key to one's career.

The handsome boy saw a lot of busy young people here. Maybe they are the "rising stars" here? A blonde Sarkaz girl with black horns and a bag on her back trotted past his window. The handsome boy recognized her as "Ifrit". He had seen her ID photo in the Rhodes Island brochure before.

After getting on the bus, Kong Yi greeted Texas in the Eastern language, with a very lazy tone. The handsome boy heard her "Oh Ha Yo, Texas-san" which meant "Good morning, Texas-senpai". Her tone reminded the handsome boy of the documentary he had watched in the past about the Eastern workplace, in which new employees would greet their seniors like this when they arrived early.

"So she's from the East?..." The handsome guy looked through the rearview mirror at the girl who was putting on makeup in the back seat. He could tell that she came in a hurry and the edges of her bangs were not even trimmed.

"It's very dangerous, this..." said the handsome guy.

After hearing this, Kong looked forward. Her pupils were particularly small without the contact lenses, and she looked a little fierce when she looked down at people.

The handsome guy said, "You use an eyebrow pencil to draw your eyebrows, right? It's easy to poke your eyes like this in the car..."

"It's okay, I trust Texas' driving skills." Kong said coldly, she didn't seem to be interested in the handsome guy's kindness.

The handsome guy had no choice but to turn his head and continue looking outside the car, looking at the roadside scenery and fell into deep thought.

In the past, he had hooked up with many beautiful women with his handsome appearance, and almost all the women he met were attracted to him the first time they saw him. This once annoyed him, but now the women around him are not so fond of him.

What's going on? Are these women immune to handsome men? Or do they care more about the heart than the appearance? Or maybe they just don't like men?

The handsome boy didn't think about these things. He stared at the handsome men and women passing by the window in a daze, thinking about what to report to Chen Huijie this month. He would take at least one day every week to observe Tallulah's movements, but in the past two weeks, Tallulah seemed to have stayed in the Ocean Mansion without going out. I really don't know what she was busy with.

The car wobbled to the Penguin Logistics Workstation, and the three people in the car got off one after another.

After getting off the car, the handsome guy stretched out of habit. Texas walked up to him, patted his back hard, said to him "Cheer up" and walked towards the main entrance.

The handsome boy rubbed the remaining Texas touch on his lower back, feeling that this woman was really scary. She suddenly walked behind him with cold palms.

The roar of a motorcycle came from the road outside. The handsome boy habitually looked towards the intersection and saw Croissant riding a retro motorcycle with a cool shape. Her handlebars were modified very low, the front fender was completely removed, and the smooth wheels were completely exposed. The modification style was somewhat similar to the "Bobber" style popular in Colombia. This style was originally the masterpiece of soldiers who retired from the battlefield.

(Sareya: Yes, it is my masterpiece!)

The handsome boy then remembered that the last time he saw Croissant was three days ago. Croissant's presence in Penguin Logistics was not very strong. Compared with Guishao and Texas, she seemed too "ordinary".

Croissant parked her car next to the delivery van and took off her matte black helmet. She shook her head and shook off the wet helmet soaked with sweat.

Her hair was long and her round cheeks were slightly red like red apples. Her figure was not as slender as Texas and Kong, but Fengti's unique plumpness, with bulging and raised where there should be meat, and she looked full of vitality with the hot pants and motorcycle jacket she was wearing.

The motorcycle jacket that Croissant is wearing is as retro as her bike, but the little bit of orange-red on the zipper adds some passion to this otherwise old-fashioned outfit.

The smell of sweat from Croissant's body filled the air. The people standing at the door didn't pay much attention to her change this time. Only Texas greeted her calmly:

“Nice car.”

"Ah... everyone's reactions are so bland. I thought you would be more surprised. This is a new bike I just picked up from a famous car modification shop in Colombia. It is said that even the first director of Rhine Life Defense had a motorcycle customized from them. This jacket is also an old brand in Colombia. It is the most expensive piece of clothing I have now."

Although Croissant's voice sounds like a little girl complaining about her boyfriend, it doesn't feel artificial. Her coquettishness and mischief seem to come from the heart, with the youthful sweetness of a little girl, completely different from the overly mature women like Texas.

At least that's what the handsome guy thought, because he could see through a pretentious woman at a glance, and Croissant didn't arouse his disgust. He even liked this plump little girl. If you want to know why, it's probably because of her special "innocence", right?

The living environment of the handsome boy since he was a child has caused him to rarely meet sincere girls like Croissant. In his impression, all the women he has come into contact with are full of strong social atmosphere, and most of them want to use him or put him to death.

So now when the handsome guy looks at the croissant, he thinks, "It's good to be ordinary, plain and daily, isn't it?..."

When he looked at the croissant, he felt the long-lost sense of security, a sense of family comfort.

Of course, he would not tell this to anyone, including Chen Huijie and Croissant, because he was not destined to stay here for long, and people like Croissant and Texas were destined to be just passers-by in his life.

The handsome boy's eyes moved from Croissant's chubby face down to her muscular belly. Croissant was wearing a belly-baring vest under her open leather jacket.

Kong noticed that the handsome guy's eyes were much gentler when he looked at Croissant from behind his sunglasses, so he suddenly asked, "Why are you staring at her belly button?"

"Ah?" The handsome boy was stunned. He turned his head and looked at Kong in confusion. For a moment, he was at a loss for what to do. He was the only male in the place without Guishao, which made him look extremely embarrassed. How much he wished Guishao was still there.

"No, I was just looking at the motorcycle behind her," the handsome boy quickly reacted, pointed his finger at the motorcycle behind Croissant's abdomen, and said with emotion, "The engine of this motorcycle sounds very powerful, the foundation should be very good, is it modified from Honda's CB series? I think the frame looks like it."

The handsome guy used all his knowledge about motorcycles to make himself look like an expert, an expert who valued motorcycles more than women.

"Yes, it's a modified Honda. If you're interested, I can lend it to you after work," Croissant patted the seat, then pulled the car key out of the car and put it in his pocket. The whole movement was smooth and fluid.

She walked up to the handsome boy, winked at him, and patted his back like Texas, but her pat was very gentle and light, with a teasing feeling.

"Oh," Texas sighed. She always turned a blind eye to such things. Although the emperor forbade employees from having workplace romances, it was not his turn to say anything about the interpersonal relationships at Penguin Logistics.

"Just don't do anything that affects your work," Texas said to the handsome guy and walked into the workstation. Kong followed closely behind him. The handsome guy stayed there for a few seconds before following in.

During the morning meeting, Texas smoked inside the house for the first time in a long time. The window of the meeting room was half open to let in the air. The handsome guy saw some worry between Texas' slightly frowned brows.

Handsome remembered that this was the first time he saw such an expression on Texas' face. She usually looked indifferent. Handsome looked at the empty seat next to him. This was usually Lapland's seat. Everything was self-evident.

Maybe something happened to Lapland, but what could have happened to her?

Texas said a few irrelevant words at the meeting and then adjourned it. She didn't like to talk useless nonsense.

After the meeting, Texas assigned tasks to everyone. According to the shift schedule, Gui Shao and Liang Zai were supposed to be responsible for delivering goods today. However, Gui Shao was not there today and she had to deal with other things at the workstation, so she could only arrange Croissant and Liang Zai to work together, because Croissant had recently passed the truck driving test.

"Great! I'm your partner today! Please give me your guidance!" Croissant said in a plastic Dong Guoyu as she came closer. Her enthusiasm made the handsome guy subconsciously avoid her, and she missed.

The handsome guy pretended to be calm and supported Croissant who was about to fall to the ground. He took the van key from Texas, held Croissant's left hand and put the key into her warm palm. At the same time, he also smelled the mixed smell of shampoo and sweat on Croissant's body.

The handsome guy’s two fingers are hot, and his three fingers are cold.

The handshake only lasted for a moment. The handsome boy withdrew his hand and turned his back to walk towards the exit. He turned back and called Croissant, "Then let's go quickly."

"Oh," Croissant echoed and ran after him.

At the same time, in a dungeon in Colombia, Saria woke up from a long coma. When she opened her eyes, she saw Elini, who was also hung by chains.

Saria's confused mind began to recall her

Why am I here? I remember a tall man wearing a top hat. Was it that man who brought them here?

Saria hurriedly pulled the chain, but it seemed to be strengthened by some force, and brute force alone could not hurt it at all.

The electric current leaked out when Saria exerted her strength woke up Elini who was gradually regaining consciousness. Suddenly, Liberi stood up from a half-kneeling position with his fur standing up like a frightened duck.

"Hey! Are you awake?" Saria shouted at Elini. When she found that their chains were connected, she pulled harder on her side, while Elini on the opposite side went up and down like a bungee jumping.

After being tossed around by Saria for several times, Elini's face showed a look of pain. She begged Saria with a bitter face, "Stop shaking! Stop shaking!"

But the pulley directly above was almost scrapped after being repeatedly destroyed by Saria. Although the chain had been strengthened by external forces, the pulley that fixed the chain was just an ordinary object.

Just like that, the pulley right above broke, and the chain connecting Saria and Elini fell from mid-air. Elini fell on her butt again, very heavily, and her pelvis was probably broken.

"Wow!" Saria rushed over and used her strength to help Elini repair her broken pelvis. Her strength control has always been rough, which was not obvious when repairing her own body, but it was clearly exposed when repairing ordinary people.

When Saria's cells are reorganized, it is inevitable that some of the opponent's original cells will be crushed, causing the opponent to suffer excruciating pain.

(Sareia cannot repair existing cells. She can only destroy the original parts and then roughly reconstruct them. It is probably similar to Kiritsugu's Origin Bullet, but hers can indeed be repaired)

"Quack! Quack! Kill me now!————"

Elini's screams echoed throughout the dungeon.

That’s all for today.

Postscript: I have been cutting my own hair for more than two years now, using the electric shaver I bought from Taobao, and I always end up with a bald head. The reason I don't go to a barbershop is that more and more barbershops in our area have begun to change into so-called "beauty salons", where there are a few young men who, to put it bluntly, are there to swindle stupid women.

Two years ago, I went to a salon on the street and met a barber who tried to sell me betel nuts. I naturally knew what that thing was and never went there again since then.

Moreover, nowadays young haircutters like to give orders when cutting people's hair, and force you to have a certain hairstyle based on their own ideas. Usually, the result is the kind of silly internet celebrity hairstyle with a strong Douyin social style. I can't stand this at all. It's more comfortable to just shave your head.

Nowadays, many businesses that used to be cheap are now cheating people out of money under the banner of so-called high-end, but in fact, their basic skills are not as solid as those street vendors that used to be everywhere. At least when I went to the master hairdresser to get a haircut, he would give me the same look as I asked, that's called fucking service!

Finally, those who promote betel nut are drug dealers, there is no way to deny this. Betel nut is a banned substance in many countries, I don't know why it is sold so high-profile in China, and some people even promote it in public places, which is really stupid and bad.

Chapter 467: "Saint Carmen" and "Deep Sea Church"

"Saint Carmen" is a well-known hero who protects the country in Iberia. It is said that Carmen resolutely refused the Pope status granted by the Iberian royal family in order to free Iberia from the control of the Lateran Church. He and eight other like-minded friends declared themselves "saints" and changed their original surnames to the name of the country "Iberia", representing that the saints of these nine people are the country itself.

Finally, through unremitting efforts, the saints transformed the state church into an inquisition system. In this way, Iberia finally achieved true independence after being controlled by the Lateran for more than a hundred years.

Therefore, in the hearts of the Iberian people, Carmen is a great hero who is as famous as the hundreds of emperors of the Yan Kingdom. His great achievements are widely sung in Iberia. It can be said that his prime years symbolize the golden age of the entire country!

Iberia's independence and prosperity essentially relied on those nine saints. After the golden age lasted for more than 20 years, the saints began to age one after another, followed by death.

Human life is always short, and this is especially true for those whose strength has not yet reached its limit. Compared to those strong people who live for hundreds or thousands of years, Carmen ages faster.

After Carmen grew old, Iberia also began to decline. At this time, the Lateran Church, which had been expelled, "took advantage of the opportunity" and once again expanded its influence in Iberia in the form of missionary work. However, even if the Inquisition tried its best, it could only compete with the church.

In this land where the strong are respected, whether a country can be respected by other countries does not depend on its land area and population, or its economy, technology, politics, etc., but on how much top combat power the country has.

It can be said that the reason why Yan Country has been at the top of Terra for so many years is because there are so many strong people in their country.

It was unprecedented for a remote country like Iberia to produce nine saints. The birth of the saints was just a coincidence, and their experiences and insights could not be replicated artificially. Even if the Inquisition trained new people day and night, it would not be able to train saint-level people. Because of the population base of Iberia, there were only a few children with magnetic field talents in each generation, and it might take 20 to 30 years for a slightly better one to appear.

(A saint may only have 500,000 horses, and may not even live for 300 years. In Iberia, 300,000 horses is a genius. Vina is here.

This is all a dimensionality reduction attack…………)

But the saints could not wait. Fiftieth year after the establishment of the Inquisition, one of the nine saints passed away, followed by the second, the third, and so on.

Finally, when old Carmen was eighty years old, he was the only saint left in Iberia. He sat in the cold meeting room of the Inquisition and watched the Lateran's comeback in silence. It seemed that the restoration of the Holy See was only a matter of time.

In the end, Carmen attributed all of this to the fact that he was not strong enough, and he began to develop an extreme desire for power (Pava).

Even the strongest heart will waver in faith after witnessing the deaths of close friends and the gradual disappearance of the fruits of one's lifelong struggle. Even someone as strong as Carmen was like this. After the death of his last close friend, his mentality changed subtly. This change seemed insignificant at the time, but after experiencing something, it completely broke his heart.

Until he witnessed with his own eyes the "incarnation of the sea" bringing down divine punishment on the evil god at the seaside...

Iberia, a coastal country, has always held a respectful attitude towards the giant beasts living in the ocean. There is also a custom of deifying the giant beasts among the people. Some ignorant people believe that as long as they regularly offer sacrifices to the so-called "sea god", they can ensure temporary peace, so the so-called "Fool" was born.

Every year, a cruise ship full of mentally ill and disabled people sails to the sea in Iberia. Although the official claim is that it is a pilgrimage to help the mad and the idiot regain their sanity, every time the cruise ship returns to the port, there are no other passengers except the crew. At this time, the official will explain that the people who have regained their sanity "voluntarily" stay in the holy land in the sea and enjoy a beautiful life like heaven.

But anyone with a little common sense would know what was going on. Those poor people were simply thrown into the sea by the ship crew to feed the fish, in order to please the giant beasts by turning them into a buffet.

This custom was still in place when the nine saints were in power, because even the saints could not do anything to the beasts... Although the Laterans were cunning and insidious, they were at least reasonable. But how could you reason with the beasts? They did not listen to public opinion or coercion. If you angered them, you would end up being destroyed by a tsunami. Iberia could not afford to take that risk.

(Lafite: Galatrons! Humiliate this land!)

(Galatrons: Kill, kill, kill! Rape!)

Even the noble saints chose to turn a blind eye after knowing the truth about the "Fool". While they condoned this barbaric behavior, they also made up all kinds of reasons in their hearts to comfort their conscience. Carmen thought that no matter which country encountered such a thing, they would make the same choice as him, right? Even the emperors and ancestors of Yan country could only give in when faced with the threat of the giant beast.

Thinking in this way, these old men who hold high positions in Iberia sit in the hall with peace of mind, and even participate in the farewell activities of the Fools every year to give blessings to the Fools.

When Carmen was 87 years old, he stayed in the port overnight on the night he said goodbye to the Fool. The sea in front of them was often haunted by giant beasts, so ordinary people were prohibited from going out to sea. Therefore, this place sometimes became a private beach for dignitaries.

That night, Carmen walked barefoot on the warm sand. The remaining conscience in his heart told Tallulah that this was wrong, but his rational side told him that he had no choice but to do so, and his current choice was the only correct approach.

Carmen had been paralyzing himself with this reason all along. He didn't believe and couldn't believe that there was anything in the world that could compare with the giant beast. Because once such a thing existed, it would mean the bankruptcy of his self-consolation, and then all his efforts would become a meaningless joke.

But then a sharp feeling spread throughout his body. It seemed like a murderous intent, a strong murderous intent that he had never felt before! After feeling this, Carmen was even stiff and unable to move. After he regained consciousness, he immediately went to the direction where the murderous intent came from.

Then he witnessed everything in the sea a hundred miles away from the shore. The Fool was attacked by a giant beast while sailing on the sea. The beast was the deep sea queen "Tiamat" who was widely worshipped in Iberia. But after Tiamat tore the Fool into two pieces, a blue light descended from the sky and instantly subdued her, or more accurately, "killed her with one blow."

"Well…………"

"roar!…………"

There is not only Tiamat in this sea, but more giant beasts are hiding under the sea, waiting for an opportunity to come out. However, after seeing the power of the blue light, they all lowered their heads and swam away, which obviously symbolized "surrender".

In the face of this light, those giant beasts that were once omnipotent in the eyes of the Iberian people seemed so weak, no different from animals to be slaughtered.

Carmen felt an absolutely overwhelming "power" from the blue light, the same surging momentum as the sea, and the mysterious and ancient divinity. This made him firmly believe that the blue light was the embodiment of the sea's will, and it must be the sea's own punishment on the false gods and evil gods in the sea! Yes, it must be like this!

Then the blue light stood on the sea and turned into a giant, the towering giant was like a god. In Carmen's eyes, this giant was simply the TMD "God of Pava"!

(This is actually a little different from the description from Xiaoer's perspective, because in Xiaoer's perspective he directly punched Tiamat to death, while Carmen saw his transition from a ball of light to a giant)

After witnessing all this, Carmen turned away. He didn't need to watch any more because he already knew what he should truly worship and serve...

The blue giant completely shattered Carmen's atheism. He realized that he was not actually against theology, he just had never met the true God.

After returning to the Iberian capital, Carmen immediately announced that the Inquisition would be reorganized into a religious organization. Although this decision, which went against the ancestors, caused an uproar in the Inquisition, many people who were still sane thought that Carmen must have suffered from Alzheimer's disease like Kal'tsit in Rhodes Island. However, because Carmen was the most powerful person in Iberia, his decision could not be opposed in the end, and everyone could only let him do whatever he wanted.

Then something unexpected happened. All the passengers on the Fool who were supposed to go to "heaven" actually returned home. After returning home, they widely publicized the "miracle" they had seen. Even the mentally normal crew members promoted the "true God" they had seen like devout believers.

A giant blue leather man.

They told how they were attacked by a giant beast at sea, how their gods defeated the beast, and how they repaired the damaged Fool.

The passengers of the Fool were more fanatical and devout in their missionary work than the Lateran missionaries. Their words soon spread widely in the Iberian countryside, where the people's education level was generally low, and there were even signs that they were replacing the power of the Lateran Church.

Three years after the Fool returned, the Giant Worship Cult founded by Saint Carmen became the state religion. Because the god they worshiped was the incarnation of the deep sea, it was also called:

【Deep Sea Church】

Facts have proved that only a more fanatical religion can suppress religious power. After the establishment of the Deep Sea Church, the Lateran orthodox religious power in Iberia gradually declined, and finally had to "localize" and survive by stitching together the outrageous doctrines of the Deep Sea Church.

The teachings of the Deep Sea Church are as follows:

1. The Deep Sea Church was founded by Saint Carmen. The most basic theory is that the entire universe is a large plane, supported by nine giant Buddhas. Whenever a great enemy appears in the world, one of the giant Buddhas will come down to solve the problem. The birth of the universe was also caused by a big explosion caused by the arm wrestling between two giants.
