Chapter 521: People's Choice (1)
"My Madam Phil, noon."
The apprentices in the corridor greeted the old lady. They looked at the old lady in front of them with respectful eyes. The latter nodded with a smile: "Wuyang, children, is the food in the canteen still fit your appetite today?"
"Of course, mama." The apprentices nodded with a smile, obviously very satisfied with the lunchtime food.
This made the old lady feel joyful. In her life, there was no more important thing to let the children have enough food.
"Go and have some rest. You have classes in the afternoon." She ordered.
So the children quickly ran away after bowing their heads and saluting.
An old woman known as Phil walked in the corridor, and the whistling sound of wind and snow came from outside the window.
"My Madam Phil, this winter is particularly cold."
The young member of the Night Watch still called her name like before, which made her squint and confirmed the child's identity: "Do you have a break today, Harsan."
"Yes, Mama, I just came back from the south yesterday and heard that the Chaos War Gang appeared in the southern part of Copenhagen?"
"Yes, these chaos and chaotic." The old woman could no longer maintain her grace at this moment. She sighed, and then heard what the young man said-"There should be a joint reconnaissance operation between the church tomorrow. Madam, I have signed up."
"... May God bless you, child." The old woman pursed her lips, and she walked to him, stretched out her hand and wiped it on his forehead.
She has seen too many apprentices who grew up and too many young people who died in battle on the battlefield, Chaos War Gang, Chaos Cultist, Out-of-control Souls, Crazy aliens, and every type is so deadly. And these young people... still walked onto the battlefield, just like their fathers and her descendants.
"May the gods give mercy and may you be saved." She lowered her head and prayed for the children in front of her.
"It's okay, mama, I'll definitely come back." The young man lowered his head, held up the old woman's hand, and kissed her middle finger ring.
Watching the young man leave, the old woman sighed - many children smiled and said goodbye to her, and then walked onto a battlefield that she never returned.
Is it because humans have been suffering so much since history?
The old woman didn't know, just as she couldn't figure out why she chose to marry the Southerner.
She was obviously born in the purple room and should have given birth to the strongest offspring with a child of the same origin. Why didn't the king stop it? Why didn't her family stop it? What the nobles were thinking? No matter how good the child named Marin Gaiat was... Any of his stories, which was a sense of exaggeration that only a legendary story would have. How could he do everything?
This is not true, she felt it was too unreal. How could there be another god in this world who walks in the world in his flesh besides the Lord of Justice?
But the truth is done, she will eventually marry that southerner...Phil, my old sister, can you stop this from happening?
Standing under the eaves of the open-air corridor, the old woman noticed a man from the southern Thai came over with the priest.
"Phil, my sister, why are you here? It's too cold this day, go back to your room." The priest Lord saw the old woman and immediately spoke out for advice.
The old woman nodded, and as she walked past the Thai man, she noticed the tattoo on his arms.
Is it the Tainan War Witch? I heard that they have a set of practice techniques independent of wizards, which can avoid being distorted by chaos.
What are they here for?
The old woman smiled and nodded: "Wu'an, a foreigner, I wish you a safe journey."
"Wu'an, ma'am, I wish your life will be smooth sailing." The war witch gave a chest caress.
This made her feel a lot better about him, and a polite young man would always be popular.
"Mr. Ming, please come with me. Your Excellency the Bishop is waiting for you." When the priest said this, he still showed apologies to the old woman.
So the young Tainan War Witch smiled and said goodbye to the old woman, and then followed his guide to the inner hall.
The old woman continued her itinerary, with the goal of a side hall where she should be preparing the equipment for tomorrow's joint reconnaissance operation. She was going to check every bottle of potion to make sure any of them worked properly.
After entering the side door, before entering the side hall, she looked at the hall in a strange way and saw a small figure.
tutor!
She widened her eyes, and the magic array implanted into her eyes was immediately activated, and then she was disappointed because it was not her mentor.
Yes... her mentor has long been no longer in these worlds.
"His Excellency Marin, we have received the equipment needed for tomorrow's operations. It is very new, and the young people on the shooting range are full of praise." Beside him, the not-so-young Assistant, said with a smile on his face.
Marin?
Marin Gaiat?
Is this the kid from Carterburg?
The old woman thought about it in silence, recalled the last time her mentor had, and finally thought of the mixed-race child of the Giant Frost Man.
Ah, yes, it's her... she really looks like her, this child is unexpectedly like his mother.
Whether it is hair color, eyes, or the slightly raised mouth... it turns out that he is the child who is highly expected by the mentor. It turns out that the child threw her son to the south. How could she know that fate is shackles. Everyone is born to carry a burden and everyone has their own way. She cannot change the fate of the child, just like she cannot change the end of the mentor.
Not many people know that there have been sons from the outside world in this world, and not many people know that he once wanted to fill this huge hole.
Speaking of this, his stories seem to be true - because if it is really this child, then everything he does seems to be real and natural.
Thinking of this, the old woman walked towards the door of the side hall, and the guard in charge of opening the door opened the door for her.
"My Madam Phil, Wu'an, why are you here today?" the young guard was also an apprentice, he asked with a smile.
"Help the children who are preparing to do things outside to check," said the smiling old woman, and at the same time, she walked slowly into the side hall. The senior apprentices were sorting out various tools and props. Looking at their actions, the old woman did not disturb them, but turned her head to look at the hall.
In the gap of the gradually closed door, the child who was talking to the Assistant God turned his head and looked here. Perhaps he sensed that there was a vision peeking at him. When he saw that it was an old woman, the child smiled and nodded.
The old woman also smiled... To be honest, Lulu is a child who is quite compatible with Marin.
Whether it is the Majesty of the Mannheim clan or the old guy from the Hagerbery family, he still has a sense of knowledge.
……………………
Marin looked at the old woman, and she smiled at him until the door closed, insulating his gaze with her.
"Mr. Marin, what's wrong with you?" Mr. Suiji's question came to his ears.
"It's nothing, I'm thinking, there will be not many people tomorrow. I heard that you have gathered about forty people. To be honest, if you are together, it will be too conspicuous." Marin turned around and looked at the assistant god in front of him and said.
"You see, every church has countless young people who want to join them, and we have selected the most elite young people, just like before." Mr. Suiji said it very naturally.
"In other words, I did this before?" Marin asked.
"Yes." The assistant nodded.
Marin thought about it and felt that since all this was a routine, there was no need for him to challenge it.
So he accepted the invitation from the Assistant Festival and prepared to go to the underground shooting range to see the young people - perhaps he could choose a few kids who were born to be sharpshooters.
By the way, when talking about the Sharpshooter, when he came back with the townsmen of Walding, he had seen the hunter named Suddle and his cousin Rhodes. They had good marksmanship and could even hit targets with their front guns in a blizzard that could even hit a target with a hundred yards away from the snowstorm.
Well... Maybe they should be recruited into the team, Marin believes that with the help of the new musket, they will be the most reliable marksmen.
Thinking of this, Marin called out and then turned his head and talked to the messenger who followed him, asking him to find someone to drag Suddle and Rhodes out of the quarantine.
Marin believed that they would not have any problems. Besides, if there was a problem, even if there was a big change in a living person, Marin could purify them.
Thinking of this, when Marin walked to the basement, he passed by the side hall on the way to the underground floor, some apprentices pushed the cart through and opened the door, which gave Marin the opportunity to look at the old woman: "By the way, that lady is..." He pointed at the old woman who was checking the potion one by one.
"Mrs. Fei, the oldest nanny in our national religion, has led a priest, sixteen bishops, fourteen seven priests, three hundred and fifty priests, and countless priests and priests, including me." Mr. Suiqi introduced him here with pride and reached out to ask: "Your Excellency, please come with me."
"It's a respectable nanny." Marin nodded, and followed the ritual to the stairs leading to the underground level.

"Why can that adult leave, but we have to live in the same cage with the damn wild boar?" Rhodes wiped the soup base in the plate in front of him clean, while looking at the huge legendary wild boar lying there on the other side of the isolation area. He had a deep sense of envy and jealousy about the quantity and quality it had just eaten: "I just took a look and it was eating fresh corn. Oh my God, it ate better than us."
When the young man said this, he seemed to be sad from it, and he squeezed out several drops of tears that would eventually disappear in the wind and snow.
"If you are a legend, you can also eat fresh corn and beef." His cousin Sudel had no complaints about this. After drinking the last hot soup, the young acting mayor burped: "If I were you, I would remember this meal in my heart."
"Why do you need to remember it in your heart?" His cousin seemed completely unable to understand this. He lay on the table, feeling the almost endless gap between eating well and eating full.
"It's very simple. In the following days, it may be difficult for us to have bread and hot broth base at a lunch. Please, there is salt in it." Speaking of this, Sudell also used half of the bread in his hand to apply the soup bowl, then threw it into his mouth and swallowed it. He was very satisfied with this.
"...I feel like there is a deep gap between us, cousin." His cousin looked at him, his face full of helplessness.
"Faced with the Chaos War Gang, we are just two-legged sheep with human heads on the head, and there is still a gap. We have had church lunch in Copenhagen for several years, so let's see you proud." Suddle said this and got up, picked up the two plates and put them on the table near the door - this is the only connection channel between the isolation area and the outside.
When he returned to his seat and turned to sit down, he and his cousin noticed that the door of the isolation area was opened and a man in military uniform stood there.
"We're finished quarantine?" Soder asked carefully.
"No, but news came from Your Excellency Marin that he said your brothers have good shooting skills?"
"Of course, I am the best apprentice in the National Order's shooting skills!" Rhodes shouted loudly.
The man said 'oh' and looked at Sudel: "Where are you, boy."
"I'm Old Hawk's child," Suddle said.
"Old Hawk? Hawk Walding of Walding Town?" asked the soldier.
Suddle nodded: "Yes, my father has been in the Sidney United Army, and he taught me how to shoot me."
"Okay, it seems that Your Excellency Marin is indeed interested in your talents. Okay, come with me." After the soldier said that, he gave way for them.
Rhodes ran out of the yard quickly, and enjoyed his freedom again, happily spread his arms: "I have never felt happy like I am today. Cousin, have you seen it? It's so happy to leave the clamping of the shackles."
"Your Excellency, we have not finished the quarantine period yet. Is there any problem with leaving now? We are not a legend like Your Excellency Marin." Sudel asked curiously as he followed the soldiers.
"I'm really not worried about this. Your Excellency Marin is looking for you to join tomorrow's reconnaissance operation. He is attracted to your shooting skills." The soldier replied.
"Hey, what if we distort in action?" Rhodes, who followed him, asked.
"Don't worry, Mr. Malin will save you." The soldier smiled without looking back.
When his cousin noticed that his cousin was a little silent, he raised his eyebrows: "Rodes, what are you thinking?"
"I think of the taste of the broth I just had." His cousin replied with a broken face: "It doesn't seem like my bowl is filled with salt."
"Our soup is served from the same pot, so that's because you taste too strong, you fool," Suddle replied indifferently.
