It was already late at night when we returned to the hotel. We had experienced too many things tonight and everyone wanted to have a good rest. Although a certain little bat felt that he did not need a rest, he resisted desperately, but his grandma grabbed him by the collar and forcibly carried him back.
However, before leaving, Neville did not forget to tell everyone the information she collected in Professor Heinrich's secret study. In fact, there was no important information. It was nothing more than the Witches' Association, except for the Eden Project.
There is also the so-called "Realistic Project", which seems to be more secretive than the Eden Project.
The religious group jointly excavated the ruins of the ancient city of Alders underground in Lunweiting, which seems to be to promote the progress of the real plan. However, Neville does not know the more specific content of this plan, and it is estimated that Professor Heinrich's
There is no information about this in the secret study. After all, it is the highest level of confidentiality. Even if he is a philosopher of the association, he cannot use it at will.
After listening to the information collected above, Alice muttered: "The Witches Association has so many messy plans. The Eden Project is terrifying enough. What is this real plan messing with? Dear Countess,
Ah, you've already sneaked into Professor Heinrich's study, can't you just take a quick look and collect more information and come back?"
This attitude of standing and talking without pain immediately aroused Leticia's dissatisfaction. She was lifted in mid-air by her grandma and she immediately raised her head and showed the sharp fangs in her mouth towards the talented player: "Alice, trash, just
He can talk sarcastically! If you have the ability, go ahead and do it yourself!"
She said if you're good, you can go. Alice said I'm really good, but I can't go anyway.
Now not only Leticia, but also everyone else despised her. For the sake of her innocence, the countess had to explain: "The main reason was that I encountered a witch from the association at that time. She was very powerful. Leticia and I
It’s already difficult for West Asia to escape from her hands without having a chance to collect more information.”
She did not shy away from her failures. Although as the countess of the Scycilia Peninsula and the ancestor of the Bloodtooth Valenhild family, she seemed to need some face to maintain the dignity of the nobility, but she had not failed.
There were so many battles when Tosh founded the country, could she not win every one of them? Then the first emperor of Tosh would not be Neo, but her.
Besides, is losing to a witch something embarrassing? On the contrary, being able to fight a witch and escape safely is something worth boasting about.
"Alice can't catch any move, she's the weakest!" Leticia waved her fist as if to vent her anger, and then her grandma took her away and went back to sleep.
The genius player didn't care about the child's careless words. After stretching, it seemed that all the remaining energy in his body had been exhausted, and he said feebly: "Then I'll go to bed first."
Then she walked up the stairs in vain, her back swaying like a decadent ghost - the kind that had just died. Judging from her work and rest time, it was really embarrassing for her to go to bed so early.
"I want to clean the wine utensils and make some supper for Ietta." The bartender walked behind the counter: "She has really worked hard tonight. Oh, there are also Xiao Yang and Xie Mi in the windmill tower room. Although
They are of no use."
"Then, Miss Gloria, please come with me." The proprietress Shesta turned her head and said to the gray-haired girl next to her with a smile: "I will help you arrange a room. There are many free rooms on the second floor. Please don't
Don’t worry, choose the one you like! Ah! By the way, I have to prepare some daily necessities for you. Do you prefer a cotton quilt or a velvet quilt? What pattern do you want on the pillow? The fragrance in the bath should be violet.
Flavored or lime flavored?”
St. Shalia took advantage of the opportunity and interjected during the gap between Siesta's words: "I'm here to help, too."
When a new sister comes to the island, as a good sister, she naturally needs to take good care of her.
The enthusiasm of the two people made Gloria a little overwhelmed, but as the third princess of the Victoria royal family - at least for now - she nodded politely and thanked you: "Thank you both for your kindness, Miss Siesta, and also
There is Miss Saint Shalia."
"Oh, don't be so formal, just call us by our names."
Shesta held Gloria's hand and walked toward the stairs. Saint Xalia originally wanted to say that you can call me sister, but she paused for a moment before she spoke, and finally took it back. I don't know why.
Whether she was worried about Gloria's thoughts or the thoughts of another personality in her mind. When they reached the stairs, Siesta suddenly remembered something, turned around and said to the young man who was still standing there: "I almost forgot.
Say, Mr. Ringer, Miss Livia is resting in the last room on the left in the corridor, and Metien is taking care of her. If you are worried, you might as well go over and take a look."
"kindness."
Ringer responded softly, and then watched the three figures disappear at the top of the stairs, until the footsteps gradually faded away, and finally disappeared. He still stopped where he was, and what he was thinking about was what Neville mentioned.
The name of the reality plan is very meaningful, because the leader of the association Tiandis is the self-proclaimed reality witch. Ringer has an instinctive feeling, suspecting that this plan has a deep connection with her power of kingship, and even
It is very likely that it was formulated with this as its core.
However, Tiantis' power of kingship has never been exposed from beginning to end. Therefore, even if the young man tries to see the big from the small and piece together a complete pattern from an inconspicuous fragment, he cannot find a reference direction. He can't even find the fragment.
None, how to piece it together?
He simply shook his head, threw these unnecessary thoughts out of his mind, and walked towards the stairs.
It’s better to check out the situation on Metien’s side, as well as why Sister Livia appeared on Cloud Whale Sky Island and how she was injured. These things need to be clarified.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Ringer always felt that he would not be able to sleep tonight.
…
The corridor late at night... is actually not quiet either.
There was the sound of the clinking of drinking utensils downstairs. In the third room from the right, Leticia was trying to gain sympathy from her grandma. Across the way, Siesta and Saint Xalia were teaching newcomers how to integrate into Cloud Whale Island more quickly.
Further away, Alice hit the handle hard, and the game console groaned under the pressure - didn't that guy say he was going to sleep, why was he still playing games?
The joys and sorrows in the world are not the same, and Ringer only thinks she is noisy.
He came to the last room on the left in the corridor, raised his hand and knocked on the door. A familiar voice soon came from the room: "Please come in."
Ringer pushed the door open and walked in. At a glance, he saw the pale Sister Livia leaning on the bedside, gently pressing the snow-white quilt with her hands, listening intently to something, and the person who was telling her story was
It's Madien. The pink-haired girl moved a chair and sat beside the bed, with a book spread out on her knees. Her fingers moved sentence by sentence on the soft white pages, and she spoke to Li Wei in a clear voice.
Sister Ya told the meaning of these words, but the content she told became more and more familiar to Ringer. Finally, he was shocked to realize: Isn't this the motto left by the goddess in the "Canon"?
"Ah, it's Ringer!"
The sound of him pushing the door attracted the attention of both of them at the same time. Metien raised his little head and showed a surprised expression when he saw his brother. Then without waiting for Linge to respond, he excitedly told him an even more surprising piece of good news.
: "Let me tell you, Ringer, Miss Livia, has decided to convert to the faith of our Holy Goddess Sect!"
Ringer: "?"
Did I open the door the wrong way and accidentally entered another time and space line?
A devout believer who had been at St. Anvil's Cross Church for more than ten years suddenly decided to throw himself into the arms of the goddess. If Alice said this, Ringer would definitely think that she was crazy, but if Metien said it...
...Okay, it's not that believable, but maybe the pink-haired girl just wanted to play a joke on her brother?
Even so, you shouldn't make such a joke in front of the person involved.
Ringer straightened his face and scolded his sister in a rare move: "Don't make such a joke, Metien."
For some people, faith is a tool that can be used immediately, but for others, it is a spiritual pillar that cannot be profaned. Making fun of their faith is not only rude, but may even lead to more serious consequences.
The consequences, such as several religious wars in history, were that the fighting between fanatical believers was even more intense than the game between several big powers competing for hegemony in the Western Continent.
When his brother said something, a look of grievance suddenly appeared on Metien's face: "But, I'm not joking..."
The person involved also stood up and spoke for her: "Yes, I can prove it, Mr. Ringer."
The nun, who was still wrapped in a bandage, put a hand on her heart, feeling the steady heartbeat in her chest. Her sea-blue eyes were bright, reflecting a drunken light under the warm candlelight: "I am sincere.
I want to return to the embrace of the Goddess, because His teachings, His maxims, and His admonitions to the world have all moved me deeply. My soul has been guided by Him, and I have decided to embark on a destined path for my life.
I regret my immaturity and pray for a better future for mankind... I hope you can agree to my request, Mr. Ringer."
Her tone was sincere and sincere, not like a joke, but what she said made Linger frown even more tightly: "So, do you want to betray the True Spirit Sect, Miss Livia?"
betray.
He spoke very straightforwardly and sharply. After all, young people never know what euphemism is. Or maybe he does, but he just doesn't want to do it. If you want to talk, let's talk openly and honestly. Why go around and around
Go ahead and use polite words and polite smiles to hide your true intentions? This is probably what young people think?
Not everyone can accept this set of remarks, especially those who are soft-hearted and kind-hearted, such as Metien. She was originally worried because Miss Livia was seriously injured, but now she sees her brother using such direct words.
Stimulating her, she couldn't help but puff up her cheeks: "Don't use such ugly words! Miss Livia did not betray the True Spirit Sect, she just, she just..."
The pink-haired little girl racked her brains to find a suitable reason for Livia's actions, but she actually didn't know why the nun suddenly wanted to join the Holy Goddess Cult. When she made this request, the little girl herself was frightened.
She was startled. Without knowing the reason, she was shocked to find that although Ringer's statement was unpleasant, it was actually the most appropriate.
It's stuck there.
"I just returned to the right path." Sister Livia calmly took over the words and said to Ringer: "People will always make many mistakes in their lives. Sometimes they think they are pious but never understand what faith is.
What kind of thing is that sometimes I feel confused about the world in which I live but never want to pursue the truth. In the past, I made these two mistakes at the same time, thinking that as long as I stayed where I was, I could get what I wanted. But
Now I have woken up and I want to make up for the mistakes I made."
Her eyes were so clear, like the sky washed away by a heavy rain: "I hope you can understand me, Mr. Ringer."
"Yes, yes, yes, I understand very well!" Metien couldn't wait to agree for his brother.
Lin Ge was indifferent: "So, you think the path of the True Spirit Sect is wrong? Why?"
Observe the boundaries of the circle of human reason and never touch forbidden knowledge. The philosophy of the True Spirit Sect is quite restrained and conservative. Can such a religion also make mistakes?
"The path of the True Spirit Sect may not be wrong, but some people have gone astray."
"In this case, what you should do is clean up those people and then use your own strength to bring it back to the right path."
"I also want to do this, Mr. Ringer, but I can't do it alone." Sister Livia shook her head sadly: "It's better to leave it to someone who can really shoulder the heavy responsibility, such as Pan
Lord Claes, and I, I just want to go my own way now."
She lowered her head and glanced at the scripture held in Metien's hand, and whispered: "In the doctrine of animism, the system of the Holy Trinity led by the Virgin, the Saint and the Holy Spirit is the most important component.
And the Holy Mother is its fulcrum and core. Without the Holy Mother to create all things, there would be no birth of spirit, let alone souls like us who follow spirituality and understand life. However, whether it is the True Spirit Sect or other animist
The various branches of the school deliberately concealed the existence of the Virgin in their classics, and only praised the saints and the Holy Spirit. Some even worshiped the saints like gods. This undoubtedly violated his original intention. It is in view of this
Because of this situation, I want to start from the beginning, from the origin of everything, from the Virgin who opened up chaos and created the universe, to re-understand our teachings and gain new understanding."
"How are the scriptures and legends of the Holy Goddess Sect similar to the legends of the Holy Mother? I have reason to believe that the two originated from the same source. Therefore, when I return to the embrace of the Goddess, I can only say that I have followed the path of the True Spirit Sect.
I have found another path without betraying animism." Sister Livia said word for word: "You may think I am quibbling, but this is indeed what I think in my heart."
"It's not sophistry, it's obviously very reasonable!" Metien raised his little head and looked at his brother: "Linge, you must feel the same way, right?"
Lin Ge remained silent and did not answer.
The little girl's expectations were disappointed. She was a little angry. She didn't know whether she was angry at Ringer's stubbornness or because he allowed the believers who came to his door not to behave like this. He was really not a qualified pastor... Hey, wait a minute.
?
She suddenly remembered something, her eyes gradually brightened, she turned around and said happily to the nun on the bed: "Miss Livia, if you want to join the Holy Goddess Cult, you don't need to ask Ringer's opinion!"
"Eh?" Livia blinked: "Why?"
"Because after the closure of Tianxin Church, Lin Ge is no longer the pastor of the Holy Goddess Sect, and he has no intention of reopening Tianxin Church. In this case, according to my father's wishes, I am the most orthodox successor of Tianxin Church!" The little girl
He puffed up his chest proudly: "Now, I agree with you to join our Holy Goddess Cult!"
