The next day, Gu Ruojiao was woken up by the maid to clean herself.
Today's purification ceremony was much more complicated than before, because she had to meet not only the Pope, but also the king and people from the churches.
After some fiddling, Gu Ruojiao put on the saint's dress made of cotton and linen under the service of the maid.
Women in this plane do not need to wrap themselves up from beginning to end, because this plane is a relatively open world.
So the so-called saintly dress simply wraps up the chest, waist and hips, and adds a long floor-length hem behind it.
Gu Ruojiao didn't care much about this, but in view of the subsequent development of the plot, she asked the maid to bring her a cloak.
After getting dressed, Gu Ruojiao finally left this suffocating attic for the first time.
Knight Chang Milu is waiting outside.
When he saw Gu Ruojiao, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he was even stunned. He didn't come back to his senses until the maid reminded him.
"Lord God." He knelt down on one knee, took off his hat with his right hand, held his right chest with his left hand, and gave her the highest level of knighthood.
Gu Ruojiao glanced at him but did not pass her hand over.
But Mi Lu was not disappointed either. Instead, he stood up respectfully and went to the front to personally take Gu Ruojiao to the conference hall.
This is a typical Gothic building covering a very large area.
Gu Ruojiao and the maid walked down the long stone steps, turned several turns, and passed through several long stone corridors before finally arriving at the church's conference hall.
As soon as the door opened, everyone sitting inside looked towards Gu Ruojiao.
In addition to the Pope, there were also high priests, bishops and priests sitting in the conference hall.
At first glance, he was stunned by her appearance, and his appraising eyes unabashedly fell on Gu Ruojiao.
Except for one person.
There was no greed in his eyes, only interest.
It seemed like I saw something fun and worth looking forward to.
Gu Ruojiao followed this line of sight and saw a man wearing a red and white priest's uniform sitting on the lower left side of the Pope.
He had long golden hair, which was simply tied up with strips of cloth. A few strands of hair hanging down his cheeks made him look very gentle.
The nose is high, the eyelashes are long and curled, and the lips are slightly thin.
The light and shadow fell on him through the stained glass, splitting his upper and lower bodies into a dividing line of darkness and light.
I wonder if it was because half of his face was hidden in the darkness, which made him look a little more evil and sycophantic.
Just one glance made Gu Ruojiao feel frightened, and she hurriedly lowered her head to avoid his sight.
This small movement was slight, but it did not escape Icarus's attention.
He raised his eyebrows in surprise, but his eyes fell on her without hesitation.
Gu Ruojiao couldn't help but want to hold up her hood to block his sight.
Then an old but rich and powerful voice was heard.
"Dear God Yunia, please allow Baron to introduce you to your most loyal believers."
The speaker was the current Pope-Barron.
He is an old man in his sixties.
There were deep wrinkles on his face, and his temples were all white.
But those eyes were very bright, with a shrewd light.
He looks amiable, but he is actually a cunning old fox.
Gu Ruojiao disliked him very much.
Because all the tragedies of the original origin originated from him.
The original person has been locked in a tower since he was a child. He has met only a handful of people and learned how to care for others. To put it bluntly, he has been brainwashed since he was a child.
She had never met many people, so she developed a character that was timid and did not dare to express herself.
She even followed the words of the pope who had always treated her amiably, mistakenly believing that what she was doing was really purifying the world's filth.
Until she heard the noble ladies and maids laughing and insulting her.
Only then did she realize what she had been doing.
