Chapter 59: Fifty-One I could have not become this kind of person!
Tim opened the door and looked at the priest standing outside with some surprise, “You’re not the one from before…”
“Um, I am the one who borrowed this book just now.” Ulu raised the “West Cathedral Chronicles” in his hand and said, “There are some things in here that I can’t quite understand, but seeing you seem pretty knowledgeable about this book, I wanted to seek your guidance. May I know if you have the time?”
When Ulu asked this question, he kept staring into Tim’s eyes as if trying to discern something.
“Is that so?” Tim hesitated a bit, “But I’m still teaching those two children.”
“It won’t take too much of your time,” Ulu tried hard to keep his tone calm, “You can treat me as a student too, since they also need to know the content of this, right?”
Ulu had thought Tim would continue to refuse, but to his surprise, after hearing his words, Tim thought briefly and then smiled and nodded, “You’re right, young people who still have such a strong desire for knowledge like you are rare. I really can’t refuse you, and indeed, it would be my honor to give you some advice.”
Saying this, Tim stepped aside and made a “please” gesture.
Ulu was a bit surprised.
He just let him in like that?
He pursed his lips and didn’t show what he was thinking, but just nodded lightly and then walked into the other’s room.
It was a rest room, not very large, but clean and tidy. The sunlight coming through the window was enough to illuminate the entire rest area, giving a sense of peaceful tranquility, at least enough to calm down Ulu’s previously restless heart.
A curtain divided the rest room into two parts, one for resting and the other for reading and working, with a small table that held three cups of tea and two copies of the “Rhein Covenant” filled with dense notes, but no one was there.
Before Ulu could even ask, Tim, who was behind him, had already closed the door and walked to the table with a smile, “The two children went to the restroom, they’ll be back soon, have a seat first.”

Ulu nodded and then sat down at one of the empty spots.
“About that book, what don’t you understand?” Tim asked curiously, “It’s just a history of West Cathedral, not a reference book. What did you find puzzling?”
Ulu placed the “West Cathedral Chronicles” down, but didn’t immediately answer Tim’s question. Instead, after being silent for a while, he slowly began, “First I want to ask, do you know the content of chapter seven, clause eight of the Rhein?”
Ulu again stared into Tim’s eyes after asking the question.
Then he noticed that there was no oddness in Tim’s eyes, they were still very natural, “Are you referring to the Lord’s clause on how believers should respond in adversity?”
Ulu’s eyes widened, “You actually know?”
“Why wouldn’t I know?” Tim seemed puzzled, “I know all 534,826 words of the ‘Rhein Covenant.'”
Ulu opened his mouth in disbelief, “But, I’ve been to many churches, and the priests there don’t know it.”
Hearing Ulu’s words, Tim immediately showed an ‘I see’ expression, “Ah, I understand now. So that’s why you came.”
He paused for a moment and then looked at Ulu with a suddenly softened gaze.
“You’re not a priest from Somo City, are you? If you’re asking this question, you must have come here for the examination but didn’t get a satisfactory result, right? Over the years…” He paused again, sighed softly, “You’ve suffered too.”
Upon hearing this, Ulu’s body trembled violently.
For the first time, this was the first time.
In all these years, nobody ever spoke to him like this. When he failed the examination, Lu Ji laughed and scornfully told him he didn’t know his place, still dreaming of entering Somo City. The day before the examination, Kelsay beat him up, feigning an apology.
Only Tim, whom he had met for the first time today, managed to instantly understand him with just a few words.
His opinion was not wrong; his view of Tim was not wrong.
At this moment, he couldn’t contain the surge within himself, screaming inwardly at Bai Wei, “Visas, you are wrong! You are so wrong!”
But Bai Wei did not respond, as if he had fallen asleep again, leaving Ulu feeling a bit of the helplessness of punching cotton.
But it didn’t matter, as long as he knew he was right, knowing that what Bai Wei said before was nothing but the desecration of Evil God trying to smear the Rhein God.
After taking several deep breaths, Ulu gradually calmed down, and during this time, Tim also did not speak, as if purposely giving Ulu this time to recover.
“Do you…always know?” Ulu inadvertently used an honorific tone with Tim, “That so-called examination is problematic.”
“How could I not know?” Tim sighed lightly again, “I’ve worked here for many years and taught countless children who wanted to stay in this city, but most of them couldn’t stay.”
Now, Ulu could confirm that Tim was a disappointed man like himself.
So he looked at Tim as if seeing a kin, very seriously saying, “Compared to those who can’t even memorize the ‘Rhein Covenant,’ you are much more suited to be in the Great Cathedral.”
