After seeing the appearance of the visitor clearly, Miss Rabbit suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Just like a small business owner caught on the spot by the tax officer while evading taxes, her first reaction was to run away, but the place where she sat was too conspicuous.
It would be too much noise to run away now, and it would also be disrespectful to the actors who are performing seriously on the stage, so the girl could only bite the bullet and said, "High Priest Martina, long time no see."
"Actually, it hasn't been that long. Just a year ago, I gave you a lesson."
"Hahaha...yes." Miss Rabbit laughed a few times, looking for something to say, "How is your health, High Priest Martina?"
"It's pretty decent. I still have a few years left to live."
"How is that possible? You are only over two hundred years old. You can at least live another hundred years."
Martina glanced at Ilea, but did not answer her words. She suddenly said, "Adele is at your place now."
"Well……"
"With that child's character and relationship with you, he will definitely find a way to help you when you are in trouble."
"Adele did come to see me." The girl admitted.
"Is she still in your castle?"
"No, she didn't want to come in. When she came to see me, she kept saying that her life was over and she couldn't hurt me anymore."
"Are you resenting the church's treatment of her?"
"No."
Ilea paused, "Well, it's a bit... no, actually quite a lot. I think what the church did is quite chilling. You should know very well that it was not her fault that she lost that competition. In fact,
Anyone else would definitely lose against Merlin.
"The church is unwilling to send those famous priests to challenge Merlin openly, so it asked Adele, who has just become a priest, to come forward and test Merlin's depth for you. With all due respect, this is actually quite shameless.
"Adele is my best friend. I understand her very well. She is not the kind of person who wants to win by any means necessary. You arranged for her to get involved, and then blamed her for all the mistakes afterwards, ruining her career."
In life, you have to pluck yourself cleanly. This is not only shameless, but also disgusting!"
Miss Rabbit finished speaking in one breath and felt refreshed.
Looking at High Priest Martina on the side, a look of relief appeared on her face, "You must have been holding these words in your heart for a long time."
"Well..." The girl was a little confused about the road on the other side.
"It's not just Adele's matter, but also the lizard people's previous attack on your territory, and the evil dragon's rampage in the Western Territory not long ago. The church didn't take much action, which must have disappointed you."
Ilea shook her head, "I've actually figured it out during these days. The church doesn't have an army, and it really can't help much sometimes."
"Then do you know why the Silver Moon Church doesn't have its own army?" Martina asked.
"It is said that this is an agreement between the Silver Moon Church and the lords of the Western Region. If I remember correctly, this agreement should have been made a long time ago."
"That's right, High Priest Caokas believes that the main responsibility of the clergy should be to save lives, not to take lives."
"But the enemies are coming. If you don't fight back, you will be dead." Miss Rabbit felt that she still had a say in this matter.
"This is why there are lords in the Western Region. Each major family will form its own army to provide protection for their subjects." Martina said, "Look, Ilea, the goddess has her own arrangements for us.
.”
"…………"
"I don't think it's a big problem for the church to form its own army. Without the help of Merlin and Shuangxiu, I wouldn't have been able to survive this crisis."
"You are too kind, my child. This may be why Merlin chose you." Martina sighed, "Because he knows very well what he wants and cannot get it from other lords."
"So this is the purpose of your coming to see me, High Priest Martina, to sow discord between me and Merlin?" A look of vigilance appeared on the girl's face, "I'm sorry to disappoint you. I believe in Merlin.
Just like I believe in myself.”
"It seems that Prophet Merlin must be a very charming person. It makes me more and more curious about him. Why didn't he come to Yanxue City with you this time?"
"Merlin, he is on vacation. This is the commandment of the church on double holidays, and he must abide by it as a prophet."
"Really, that's a pity. I originally wanted to meet him." Martina said, "I can understand the strong bond established between you and Merlin through shared hardships."
"Great, then you can save some effort." Having said this, the girl simply stopped being secretive, "Actually, I will become a Saturday believer in some time, I am not
Saying that the goddess is not good enough, it’s just that I think I might be more suitable for the other side.”
"Have you really thought about it? This is not a matter for you alone. It also affects your family and future generations." The old man looked at the girl.
Her words indeed aroused the last doubt in the female lord's heart. Ilea believed in Li Yu, but the girl did not know whether her descendants' relationship with other prophets of Shuangxiu Sect would be as good as hers and Li Yu.
Who can really say what will happen in the future?
Martina's voice continued, "Although you don't want to call me teacher now, I still remember the girl who studied in the temple, the girl who believed in Pisiya wholeheartedly.
"Like all things that are old, the church certainly has its faults, and the words you criticized before are also what I want to criticize, but fortunately, we still have time and opportunity to correct all of this.
"If you still want to return to the embrace of the goddess, the church is willing to grant you the status of high priest."
"High Priest?" Ilea was surprised, "Isn't there only seven high priests in Silver Moon Church? Is someone absent?"
"No, the church plans to establish another high priest position. This eighth high priest does not need to participate in the church's affairs on weekdays, but he has the power to supervise the church. If he has objections to a certain priest or something,
, an investigation can be launched, and everyone, including other high priests, must cooperate unconditionally."
"But I am a lord. Can a lord also serve as a high priest? There has never been such a precedent before."
"No, but there is a first time for everything. There has been discussion within the church and it is believed that with your current reputation in the Western Region, you can fully serve as the high priest."
"In addition, the church is now beginning to self-examine and correct the mistakes it made before, including the matter of Adele. Her reputation will be restored soon."
"In addition, as long as you are willing to nod, we will also build a temple on your territory and store a sacred artifact there. In this way, a large number of believers will rush there for pilgrimage. You can also take advantage of this opportunity.
It should be easy for you now to attract some people to settle down in Greenfield.
"In this way, you can build a city nearby in a few decades, and you don't have to worry too much about the funds for building the city. The Silver Moon Church is willing to sponsor half of it."
