Chapter 7 You can ask the angel

Elder Bill Forbes left Lucifer's side sneezing all the way.

Einstein looked at the other party's back worriedly: "It seems that many people are talking about Grandpa Bill... But that's normal, after all, Grandpa Bill held a banquet today!"

"Do you have a saying here that you sneeze because someone is talking about you?" Lucifer asked a little surprised.

"Yes, so every time Grandpa Bill holds a banquet, he will sneeze from time to time. It must be because everyone is thanking Grandpa Bill in their hearts."

Lucifer: "…………"

He felt that this proverb might have been originally invented by a man who was punished by the gods for sneezing all day long, so that he could cover up that he was actually doing bad things!

However, Lucifer had no intention of exposing Elder Forbes. After all, it seemed that this man was quite popular. It would be useless for him to tell the truth. It might make Einstein think that there was something wrong with his character.

So he changed the subject and began to gossip about the elders' body.

Although this world is under the hard control of God and has not created any hierarchical divisions such as kings and nobles, it is still inevitable that resources will be concentrated on those who are capable.

Although there is no such system as a country, the city-state of Eden naturally formed a body of elders based on popular voting and statistics of public opinion, and the people in it were all highly respected. It was under the guidance of the body of elders and the Eden Church that Eden became healthy.

developed to the present.

Lucifer understood as soon as he heard the vote: "Elder Forbes must have a high number of votes."

"Of course, for a generous and kind person like Grandpa Bill, everyone respects him." Einstein affirmed.

Hmm... But isn't this just trying to bribe people to vote for him?!

[Although Bill Forbes is a bit vain, he still considers the public when making decisions - and, no one is perfect, this is your... your previous point of view.]

"That's true." Lucifer felt relieved after thinking about it, "I think so now too."

In fact, this truth is very simple. Being selfish does not mean that you are a bad person. It is just that God's punishment was stuffed in your mind before. He thought that God was a control freak in the world. People would become more sophisticated, but in the end, they were just suppressed.

ah!

I always feel that such a depressing environment will breed perverts who are very good at taking advantage of loopholes... I hope God's Punishment will be smarter.

While chatting, Lucifer noticed that Einstein's eyes kept glancing at his cup. He tentatively moved the cup, and Einstein's eyes drifted away.

Probably knowing that he had been discovered, Einstein simply tried to ask Lucifer for the half sip of wine he had not finished drinking, on the grounds that it was not good to waste it. Lucifer's mouth twitched and said, as long as you don't mind that I drank, Ai.

Einstein drank it happily.

Lucifer was amazed: "So you really think this tastes good?"

Einstein gave him a strange look: "Is this a level that can be dedicated to God? Speaking of which, I used to study how to make wine, but then I found that buying grapes was too expensive, so I finally focused on mathematics."

Speaking of studying, Lucifer thought about it for a while. Instead of asking Einstein, he asked the alarm clock because he felt that if he asked about the origin of the school, he would be regarded as a weirdo.

The alarm clock is indeed a long story again.

[Initially, in order to improve the efficiency of educating the masses, the sages who received the guidance of angels asked people to gather together to talk about it. Later, with the advent of churches, the auditorium became a fixed place to answer questions. 】

[Later, scholars and elders reached an agreement with the church to use the location to teach those who wanted to learn - because knowledge is sacred, it must be done under the watchful eye of God, and sharing the knowledge you know with others is

Virtues worthy of praise - Later it evolved into the cooperation between the elders and the church to establish a school. Scholars volunteered to teach, and anyone could become a student and attend the lectures.】

"The educational awareness in this world is very good." Lucifer was not surprised.

He was actually prepared to face a world of ignorance similar to the "Dark Middle Ages" with blocked knowledge. Later, he took a stroll and found that the signboards of major stores had evolved from patterns to text, and the only two customers were very good at mathematics.

Damn, he already knew the education level of the Eden people at that time, and now he finally knows the reason.

[In the past, there were people who wanted to control knowledge and keep the ignorant ignorant so that they could take advantage of them, but you killed several of them with lightning...]

"Well, good job...wait a minute, why is it me? Did I used to be a model worker?!" Lucifer couldn't help complaining, "You also said that I wanted to spread the Seven Deadly Sins before, but in the end, the serious and guilty ones were still hacked by me.

It’s over!”

The alarm clock replied: [You were indeed a model worker in the past. As for why you killed guilty people, I have not found any detailed information. You probably did not instill it when you created me. You should be able to find out if you ask other angels. 】

Lucifer held his forehead: "I'm just going to complain. I probably know why, and where can I find an angel..."

[This year, angels will come to visit the world——]

"Okay, you don't have to remind me about this again! Now is not a good time to meet them!!!"

If an angel knows what he wants to do, he will definitely report it to God. What else can he do when God wakes up? It's like giving a blank in the college entrance examination, which is as painful as oversleeping.

When the alarm clock brought up his troubles, Lucifer's thoughts were confused and he was too lazy to continue to delve into whether there was something wrong with the world's technology tree.

In a world where everyone can learn freely, how long will it take for it to develop into an industrial revolution?

This idea just flashed through Lucifer's mind, and then fell into darkness.

***

Although the banquet had some not-so-splendid episodes, Lucifer was not without gains.

On the one hand, he got to know a lot of humanistic customs that could not be appreciated just by looking at the alarm clock. On the other hand, he also let some people in Eden know that he had opened a store.

Although Lucifer himself didn't look in the mirror very often, he was still very conscious about his appearance. While he was chatting with Einstein at the banquet, someone came over and asked Einstein to introduce him.

Einstein was short-tongued, so of course he honestly advertised Lucifer's store, so that Lucifer's store, which opened quietly, finally had a sense of existence.

As for the effect of this wave of advertising——

"Not only are there no new customers today, but even the old customers are not coming."

Lucifer lay languidly on the counter and yawned: "On the third day of opening, I thought that according to the previous rules, there should be another new customer today..."

Why was it so deserted compared to the previous two days? Shouldn't we have gone to the banquet yesterday?

Just as he was thinking about whether he should do something to attract new customers, Lucifer noticed a familiar figure passing by outside, and he immediately opened the door and walked in.

"Good afternoon, Sage."

Ludwig Gauss said hello while introducing the newcomer he brought to Lucifer: "This is my friend, Christina Dumas."

Lucifer was silent for a moment: "...Welcome, Miss Christina Dumas."

With this surname, is he finally a liberal arts boss in this store? Although he is a gender-changer!

"Hello." Christina Dumas saluted Lucifer, her eyes quickly swept around the room, showing an expectant look.

Gauss took Christina Dumas to sit in a familiar position, where the packed chessboard was placed. The strange thing was that the two of them sat side by side, and the seat opposite was empty.

"...Huh? Will Miss Dumas not participate in the trial?" Lucifer raised his eyebrows.

Gauss nodded: "Yes, this trial is still mine - but I can use the rewards freely, right?"

"Of course." Lucifer understood.

Oh my god, the world is so miserable. It doesn’t matter if we don’t have a French meal. Instant noodles can be used to pick up girls!!!

Lucifer was complaining crazily in his heart as he sat across from Ludwig Gauss.

Cristina Dumas clasped her hands together and showed an embarrassed expression: "I'm not very good at math, and I'm very curious about the food he described, so I can only ask Luther for help..."

"It doesn't matter." Lucifer smiled calmly at Christina Dumas, saying to himself that he didn't expect Gauss to look cold, but in fact he was quite boring. After just one visit, he thought of using his shop to gain favor.

Lucifer, a single dog, had a change of thought and said to Gauss, who was already planning to guess the pieces: "You are already familiar with backgammon. Let's change the rules for this trial."

Gauss was startled, but did not hesitate: "Okay, what are the rules?"

"This time, it's not called backgammon, it's called Go." Lucifer picked up the black and white chess pieces and demonstrated the rules while explaining them until he was sure that Gauss understood.

Gauss's eyes lit up: "The rules this time are also very interesting!"

"Very good, I knew you would like it." Lucifer said with satisfaction, "Then come on."

Different from Gauss's cautious approach, Lucifer placed his own piece on the opponent's move as soon as it was made. It was a precise calculation that was enough to make the earth's chess players exclaim, "This is artificial intelligence." It seemed like

The performance of being able to hit the enemy with precision without even thinking made Gauss feel a little stressed.

Don't bring people here, you will fail the test...

Probably when Christina Dumas was about to fall asleep, Lucifer, while Gauss was still thinking, took out the "Selected Poems of Rabindranath Tagore" that he had drawn for the second time in a row and let the alarm clock turn it on.

After the text was transformed into the text of this world, he handed it to Miss Dumas: "Read it if you are bored."

Although Gauss wanted to take the girl to eat something good, he still didn't consider the girl's feelings of being left out in the cold. For the sake of being an old customer, he would help.

It's better to have something to kill time than to sit around. Christina Dumas thanked her and took the book.

When she saw the title of the book of poetry on the cover, she thought it was probably some kind of church hymn.

Cristina Dumas opened the book with a preset, and the pages turned rustlingly, stopping on a certain page randomly. The layout of this collection of poems is so wasteful that only one sentence can be found on the entire page.

Life is as gorgeous as summer flowers, and death is as quiet and beautiful as autumn leaves.

She was immediately struck by this poem.
