Lily followed the old monk to his residence, which was a large room made of wood and stone. Like most rooms in this chapel, there were not too many decorations except the necessary furniture. Perhaps the most conspicuous one was
Is there a statue of a goddess as tall as one person placed right opposite the door outside?
The statue was carved from a strange white stone. It exuded a hazy light in the darkness of the night and looked extremely holy! Every part of the stone statue was carved to perfection, even the strands of hair.
The silk is clearly carved out. However, the only thing that has not been carefully carved is the face of the stone statue. It should be that mortals cannot imagine the appearance of the goddess, so the carving is deliberately blurry.
Because Vincent used the Holy Light on herself before, Lily specifically asked Sophia for information about the Church of the Holy Light. To Lily's surprise, the Church of the Holy Light is very different from Christianity on earth. They are
A relatively moderate sect, they advocate equality and mercy, hoping that the holy light can shine on every living creature to redeem all lost souls. However, the only consequence of letting dark creatures bathe in the holy light is that they will disappear... It should be said
Is the Holy Light Church stupid, or should I say they are shady...
As for the question of Lily not being affected by the Holy Light, neither Sofia nor Vincent could give a definite answer. In the end, they had to classify her as having a "pure soul" and therefore was recognized by the Holy Light. This statement made Lily ashamed -
—Maybe I was still "pure" before I entered the house, right?
It is precisely because of the mild attitude of the Holy Light Church that there are many sects in Blake's church district. Moreover, according to rumors, the goddess of light has a very close relationship with the goddess of frost and the goddess of nature, so the two churches separated in Blake's church district.
The Church of Holy Light is the nearest, while the Church of the God of Darkness and the Goddess of the Undead is in the most remote corner of the church district.
The old monk took Lily to the inner room, which was still surprisingly simple. Apart from a big bed that was still big enough for Lily and Fan to sleep side by side, there was only a table and three chairs. Lily was very curious.
Why do each table have three chairs instead of four? Is there any special meaning?
Thinking that there were only the old monk and his granddaughter in this small chapel, Lily couldn't help but shudder - could there be a third person that she couldn't see?! Speaking of which, she often saw it too
Alison was muttering something alone in the room, but when she peeked out of the window, there was no one around Alison. She originally thought Alison was praying or something like that, but
Lily suddenly became terrified when she saw the chair...
The old monk looked doubtfully at Lily, who suddenly became nervous, and motioned for her to sit down. He couldn't wait to learn more about Vincent. The last time Vincent and Freya came back to Harlei was three years ago.
.Although I have recently heard from businessmen passing by occasionally that Vincent is doing well now, but there is no other detailed news other than that. It is not easy to meet someone who has lived with his adopted son and adopted daughter.
After a period of time, Lily and the old monk were naturally overjoyed.
Lily sat there awkwardly and stared at the empty chair beside her. She was wondering if there was someone sitting there that she couldn't see... Although she wasn't very afraid of ghosts or anything like that... Well, she was really not afraid.
Oh! But this always gives me a fluffy feeling...
"Child, how did you meet Vincent?" Seeing Lily's uneasiness, the old monk suppressed the eagerness in his heart, slowed down his speech and asked slowly, "Don't be nervous, there won't be any tension here.
Someone hurt you."
Lily turned her head and slowly calmed down under the gentle and kind eyes of the old monk. She began to recall what happened since she first came to this world: "Well... in the beginning, Fan and I... ah! That's what I am doing now.
The companion who was recovering from his injuries... We were on a night journey. It was said that we wanted to sneak into Blaeno, right? But we were caught by Uncle Vincent's men. At that time, Uncle Vincent seemed to be discussing with Sister Sophia.
Regarding the matter of Dix’s undead, fortunately Sister Sophia recognized Van, otherwise Van and I would probably have to spend the rest of our lives in Breno’s prison, right?”
"The undead of Dix?" The old monk remembered the purpose of the Dragon Spear mercenary group here... This afternoon the mercenary group visited this small village and asked him and the village chief if there were any necromancers or undead nearby.
Traces of hauntings. The old monk was not someone who liked to lie. He hesitated and told them about Lily. As a believer in the goddess of light, the old monk, like Vincent, could naturally sense that Lily was actually an immortal species.
However, after getting along with her for a few days, the old monk did not find that Lily had done anything evil.
The Dragon Spear Mercenary Group decided to rest in this village for one night and deal with Lily's matter tomorrow. However, they did not expect that Lily accidentally came to Lan Tian, Lan Han and Olivia Bate.
Outside the room, this made the three of them think that the whereabouts of themselves and others were exposed, and Lily wanted to strike first! Lan asked Olivia to slip out of the window and inform the group leader next door, Garudo and the old monk who was chatting with them at night.
, at the same time, he and Lan tried every means to buy time. After Olivia informed the group leader and others, Lan took Lily to the room where the group leader had been ambushed, while Aurelia quietly surrounded him from behind.
Lily couldn't escape...if Lily knew that she was being treated as an enemy because of her curiosity, she would definitely be dumbfounded, right?
"Sister Sophia seems to have said that there are many undead and the like appearing over Dix...I don't know much about the details..." Lily didn't pay much attention to this kind of thing, so she only remembered a few words, "Later Vincent
Uncle Te agreed to take us into Blake City - speaking of it, when we were resting in Levin Town, we met the mercenary with the little dragon on his shoulder (Lily only remembered the cute dragon). At that time, they seemed to be killing
We found an undead creature called the Undead Owl and were having a party... Later, we followed Uncle Vincent into Blake..."
Lily began to slowly talk about her experience in Blake, including how Vincent used the Holy Light to clear Siana's suspicion of herself after breaking into the Yunique Obelisk. Because Lily knew that the old monk wanted to
What she heard was about Vincent, so she deliberately skipped the irrelevant stuff and focused on Vincent's current situation: "Later, sister Sofia asked us to participate in the knight competition, which was recommended by Uncle Vincent.
Before participating in the official competition, we also went to a dance... Speaking of which, before the dance, a beautiful sister suddenly came to the hotel to look for Vincent..."
"Huh?" The old monk who knew his adopted son's personality was obviously shocked, "Who is that girl? Is Vincent's lover?" The old monk suddenly felt like "the child has grown up" in his heart.
Lily said helplessly: "That sister probably likes Uncle Vincent, but Uncle Vincent is just like a piece of wood... That sister seems to be called Freya?"
The old monk suddenly realized this time - it turned out to be Freyna's child... But when he adopted Vincent and Freya, they did not show any affection beyond family affection. Now Freya has feelings for Vincent.
Has the special feeling turned into love that even a child can see?
Lily and Vincent didn't get along for long, so he couldn't get anything more from her, but the old monk was already very satisfied... His biological son had a quarrel with him because he didn't want to believe in the goddess of light.
After a fight, he ran away from home. Although Old Parnmore did not mean to blame his son, he tried to find his son but found that his son had disappeared... After a few years of confusion, Old Parnmore
On the advice of the Archbishop, More came to this land to cultivate his character, and adopted Vincent, who lost his parents in the war, and Freya, a street child who suddenly appeared in the village.
Accompanied by Vincent and Freya, old Parnmore gradually became cheerful, but within a few years, he received news about his son... His son turned out to be married outside, and he was still married.
He has a lovely daughter...but along with his young granddaughter, what was sent by Officer Blaino was his son's belongings and a cold sum of gold coins!
After little Parnmore left Old Parnmore, he ran to join the army, and was soon promoted to a non-commissioned officer and married a female mercenary. However, during a raid launched by Carretta,
Both he and her wife were killed on the battlefield. After losing her parents, little Alison had no one to take care of her. Originally, the commander of Little Parnmore wanted to send her to an orphanage, but little Alison said that she still had
A grandfather was in Blano. After many searches, little Alison was delivered to the hands of old Parnmore... Only then did he realize that his son had always missed him...
However, at this time, the war between Blaino and Carretta was approaching a fever pitch, and the village where old Parnmore was located was also invaded by Carretta many times. The young Vincent, with his passion, never looked back.
He followed the sergeant who sent Alison to join the army, and it wasn't long before Freya also joined the army because she couldn't worry about Vincent! In this way, old Parnmore couldn't help but think of the scene when his son left him...
…
Fortunately, Vincent did not die like his biological son. Instead, he became one of the three famous legends of Blano! The old monk believed that this was because Vincent believed in the goddess of light, which made him even more
He strengthened his faith and almost became a fanatical believer.
And little Alison also worried old Parnmore - probably because of the psychological trauma left by losing her parents. When little Alison was alone, she often talked to her "air friends", although
Little Alison began to believe in the goddess of light because of the influence of old Parnmore, but the old monk could clearly feel that her belief was not firm. This made the old monk very worried.
"By the way..." Lily pointed to the chairs next to her carefully and asked weakly, "Can you tell me why there are three chairs on each table?" Lily always felt that she wouldn't even be able to sleep well unless this question was asked.
.
The old monk recovered from his memories and explained with a smile: "Generally, villagers in the village will come to me for help because of various worries and problems. I usually let them sit down and listen to their stories quietly. But the seat next to it is generally
It’s used by little Alison to study after finishing her homework.”
Doing homework? Is there such a thing as school in this world? Lily thought for a while and suddenly understood - it should be the homework for monks to practice, right?
"Isn't there something like a confessional here?" Lily was curious as to why the interview had to be held in a room. Although she had never been to a church, Lily still knew that there would be a small room with a partition in the middle, where the priest usually sat.
On one side, and on the other side, sit people who come to seek help, or talk about their worries or sins... Because some people can't express the darkness in their hearts in front of others, so they specially make
A hut where both sides can't see each other...
Under Lily's description, the old monk nodded thoughtfully, and then said with a smile: "Although this is indeed a good method, I prefer to talk to believers face to face, so that I can personally understand their doubts.
and pain...but I will report the idea of the confessional to the Archbishop, and I think it will be very popular if implemented within the church, right?"
Lily couldn't help but be speechless - does this count as helping the enemy? Ah~ Forget it, anyway, the Holy Light Church does not reject vampires like Christianity, and she has also considered converting to the goddess sister~ Ah~ Sure enough, it feels much better to believe in cute girls
Ah! Do you really want to change your beliefs?
Putting aside Lily, who was so unscrupulous that she was ready to give up her faith, on the other hand, everyone at Dragon Spear held a short meeting after temporarily lifting their suspicions about Lily.
Silla, who looked like an iron tower, sat at the front seat with her arms folded, and the remaining four people sat around the table, waiting for Silla to speak.
"We have lost a lot of companions." Silla's poker face, which has remained unchanged for thousands of years, can't help but show a trace of disappointment at this moment, "I know you want revenge, but don't be dazzled by hatred. What we need is to defeat the enemy.
, not to be wiped out by the enemy in one fell swoop.”
"But my patience is about to reach its limit!" Garudo said angrily, "Now I just want to kill all the undead creatures and necromancers to avenge the deputy captain!"
"Calm down, Garudo." Silla put her bear-like hands on Garudo's shoulders, letting him calm down slowly, and then said to Lan, who was teasing the little dragon, "Tianlan, except for us
Apart from the new members, have you sensed the existence of other undead?"
"Captain, are you really prepared to accept those two guys?" Lan tilted his head and squinted at the commander, "I don't recommend incorporating them into the mercenary group."
"I think they're okay~" Lan on the side said weakly, "Actually, I don't feel that the undead has any malicious intent..."
"What about you? Olivia?" Silla will listen carefully to the opinions of all members and then make a decision based on the actual situation, so the members of the group are very convinced of him.
The winged girl seemed to be drinking Silla without much expression on her face - unlike Silla's majestic face, Olivia gave people a more cold feeling: "I have no objection."
Silla nodded and made the final decision: "Try to accept them first. Then make a decision after getting along with them for a while."
Dragon Spear was created and maintained by Silla and Randy alone. Regarding Randy's death, Silla was even more angry than anyone else! But he knew that anger could not solve anything, and he needed to ensure the safety of other members.
Instead of taking them to die. He also had his own considerations in accepting Lily and Van. In fact, his view was the same as that of old Parnmore. He also believed that Lily would not be the undead summoned by the necromancer.
Garudo is not the only one who hates all undead and necromancers, so Lily is needed to resolve this extreme understanding to prevent him from being burned by the Dragon Spear and the fire of revenge.
