Lucifer sacrificed too much for world peace

Gabriel repeated: "Coffee? The coffee I've seen before doesn't seem to taste like this..." Of course Gabriel knew about coffee, but the coffee in her impression was just like pot water, not so mellow. The aroma.

The people in line laughed: “It didn’t taste very good before, but someone roasted the coffee beans, and the coffee brewed from these beans became the flavor you smell now.

"That's right..." Gabriel nodded.

Contrary to what humans think, as long as humans don't indulge in extravagance or waste too much food in experiments in pursuit of delicious food, no angel actually cares whether the food humans eat is too delicious.

What really limits the progress of human cuisine is the self-restraint of the church and people because they don’t know the boundaries of divine punishment.

Therefore, although the coffee smelled very fragrant, Gabriel accepted it quickly and was even a little pleased: humans can finally learn to be better to themselves! Because he was very happy, Gabriel stayed in line and planned to buy a drink to try.

When it was his turn, Gabriel took out the silver coins he had exchanged for several previous visits to the human world: "How much?" "Too many! Do you have copper coins? No? I'll ask you for paper money. Do you want more milk? "The aunt at the window said to Gabriel enthusiastically, "Coffee is cheap now..." Gabriel was a little surprised: "Why is it so cheap? Is the climate in Avalon not suitable for growing coffee trees?" And why can we add milk here... It's afternoon now. She remembers that milk used to be delivered in the morning. If it is stored well, it can be drunk at noon, but it will easily spoil in the afternoon.

Or is there someone with refrigeration capabilities employed here? "How long has it been since you came out? Don't stay at home if you have nothing to do. Go out for a walk more often.

"The people in line behind Gabriel couldn't help but interject, "When the steam train came over a while ago, the whole city was shocked, but you didn't hear the news? "Gabriel was like a repeater: "Steam train? "Although he wanted to know more about the situation, his share of coffee had already been handed out at the window, and Gabriel couldn't block the way, so he could only leave with the clay cup in hand.

She took a sip.

Different from the charming aroma, the coffee is still a little bitter in the mouth, but the addition of milk makes the taste softer. The remaining bitter taste slowly returns to sweetness afterward. Compared with the previous coffee, it is simply not the same. Same drink.

While drinking coffee, Gabriel was thinking about what she had just heard about the steam train, wondering if she should go to the church to take a look first... What a mistake. She thought there wouldn't be much change in the world, and didn't even read the report. I just came down directly. I didn’t expect that I didn’t look at it this time, but a lot of new things appeared.

...Could it be caused by the group of humans who had the accident in the Soul Factory? Thinking of this, Gabriel's heart tightened, but she soon found the reason: everyone seemed happy, and there was no divine punishment, so it shouldn't matter, right? As Gabriel, who is responsible for human souls, she really hopes that this group of humans will be okay, so that this mistake will not be irreparable, and she will not have to consider whether to take the souls of human beings out of their bodies in advance.

I feel a little embarrassed to go back to heaven now. After all, she said she didn't need it... so I'd better go to the church.

After Gabriel thought about it, he was about to change direction when he heard the strange sound of selling goods.

"The latest issue of "I Walk, I Go" has arrived - the quantity is limited, first come first served - this issue contains a separate volume of essays, the content is exciting, not to be missed -" Gabriel: "...???" " What is "I go, I go"? Why does the name sound so strange? Gabriel originally went to the church to learn more about the changes. Now that new things appeared directly in front of her, of course she would not let go of this opportunity and stepped forward to buy a copy.

Hmm... Gabriel sat down by the fountain on the roadside, intending to read page by page of a strange publication the way humans would read.

The first is the relatively thick main issue. Although he missed the previous few serializations, Gabriel read it with great interest based on the synopsis, and even wanted to rush for an update.

It’s really interesting. Most of them are fictional stories. There are also columns recording recipes and food reviews, as well as a hodgepodge of riddles. Some of them are riddles that even Gabriel can’t guess. It’s a pity that the answers won’t be given until the next issue. When she came out, she was a little worried.

I won’t write about these minutiae.

What the Angels need to control is to ensure that there are no big problems at the macro level, and they really don't care much about the details.

Therefore, she should come to the human world often, otherwise she will not be able to grasp the changes in the human world. Look at how many years she has not been here, and the little brains of human beings have already come up with such interesting books.

Gabriel closed the main issue without finishing, and then picked up the supplement.

On the cover of the supplement was printed the words "The First Sage Cup Essay Contest - 'The City I Will Live in a Hundred Years' Essay Collection'", which made Gabriel feel very happy.

"Sage's Cup? There are quite a lot of tricks..." Gabriel opened the catalog and took a look, and found the article where Avalon was selected. Tufen turned to that page and started reading.

When it comes to managing the city he is responsible for, Gabriel is actually the most attentive angel besides Lucifer.

Especially when Lucifer complained to her that human ignorance almost killed a talented person, even though Gabriel and Lucifer were already at loggerheads at the time, she immediately ordered the church after the investigation, asking them to be less harsh on those who were "not so focused".

The church did it seriously, and Avalon took this as an opportunity to become more open than other places.

Gabriel did not want to blame the church, because the people in the church and the villagers who spontaneously excluded those who were different from ordinary people actually had no ill intentions, but were too afraid of divine punishment, so they went too far.

In short, in cities that are normally managed by angels, humans are more subject to the conservatism of the church, and their living conditions tend to be more stable. In cities like Avalon, where Gabriel comes down from time to time to observe and then directly orders the church to make adjustments, people will live better, because the angels can better understand the boundaries of things that the church is uncertain and dare not do.

However, because human society has been in a state of stagnation for hundreds of years, Gabriel could not observe any difference, so he had not contacted the church for hundreds of years... This time, he found such a big change, and he was a little surprised.

Did the church finally come to his senses? ! How many times have we said that God's punishment is really not that harsh, and normal development is enough, but humans are afraid. Have they finally come to their senses now? In order to better understand the changes in humans, Gabriel carefully read the essays selected by Avalon.

As she read, Gabriel frowned.

Strange... Why did she feel that Avalon's submission was not even as good as the Avalon she saw now? Isn't the theme of the essay "A Hundred Years Later"? How did this get selected? ——Regarding this, you really can't blame the person who submitted the essay.

Because the essay contest started a long time ago, there was no steam train at that time. The prices of imported products (such as coffee beans) in Avalon were still high due to inconvenient transportation, and it was easy to drink spoiled milk... In short, Avalon at that time was indeed not much different from the Avalon in Gabriel's impression.
