It has been three days since Luya was locked up in the temple with this woman.
I don't understand what's going on with Jerrod. He hasn't shown up. Their freedom is completely restricted, and their activities are limited to the inside of the temple. There is a clay pot in the room if you want to use the toilet, but there is no air circulation, no windows, which makes the room smell quite bad.
However, the monks in the temple will deliver food three meals a day, and they will be given bath time every day. With female monks accompanying the guards, there is basically no possibility of escape.
Luya has always been very obedient and cooperative, but Eve Latil finally couldn't take it anymore after two days of hunger strike. After the monks brought the food, she would wait for Luya to eat first, and after seeing that Luya had no reaction after eating, she would continue to eat the rest of Luya's food.
...I always feel that she is a little too neurotic, and it gives people a bad feeling. Can someone so selfish be a saint? By what criteria are the gods selected
And how did she determine that she was a saint? When Lu Ya asked her why, she was also mysterious and refused to say more. She only said that everything would become clear after she saw something, and she absolutely couldn't be trapped here and stand still.
"But I don't think people should be greedy. What does it matter if you are a saint or not? That's not something we mortals can think about. We should be grateful if we can escape from the empire. As long as we can live a stable life Life is just fine..."
Lu Ya felt that it was unnecessary, so she rejected the other party's invitation to escape together. Where can I escape even if I escape? Isn't it as dangerous in the wild as the continent of Asdra? There is no point in escaping here to pray for the blessings of the gods, and there are only the two of them, how can we go to the holy capital through the foggy forest? Don't go looking for death casually.
At least it is safe to eat and drink here. In a strange and unknown land, it is better not to act rashly. Luya felt that Gerald should be given a little confidence, he could think of a solution at all. If it doesn't work, she can wait.
"I have nothing to say to you... How stupid! Then you will be locked up here alone to mold!"
Seeing Luya's stubborn look, Ratier returned to his bed in a state of dismay, and ignored her no more.
…
that night.
Lu Ya slept defenselessly, she didn't have any worries at all, as if she didn't have the consciousness of being locked up at all. And at this time, suddenly, not far from the door, the footsteps of many people approached, and the sound of conversation sounded.
"Have you made sure? Which one are we looking for?"
"From observation, it should be the girl with black hair... She must be right."
At this moment, Luya woke up. She was startled, but she didn't move. She closed her eyes and continued to pretend to be asleep. Soon the locked door was opened, and the men bypassed her bed, waking Latile awake.
"What are you doing! Let me go!"
Shocked and panicked, Ratier pulled out glass shards from under the pillow and threatened those people, "What do you want to do?!"
"We are here to welcome you back to the holy capital under the orders of the great priest Lambda."
Those dressed as priests were followed by several paladins, all of whom spoke respectfully.
"..." Latil hid in the corner and didn't move. She stared at them very vigilantly, and couldn't help but sternly said, "Do you have evidence to prove that you are not the one sent by the great priest's daughter to kill me? I know it! She is afraid of my return, so she has always wanted to get rid of me."
"Sorry, this matter is indeed our fault, we are late."
The priest explained to Lattier apologetically, "In the beginning, Priest Lambda didn't tell the matter publicly, but just wanted to solve it in a low-key manner, but after there was no movement until now, Priest Lambda, who re-divinated, noticed the flaw , Miss Isti has been locked up now, and the previous mistakes have been corrected."
After they paused, they said meaningfully, "The great god Darius said that regardless of the past, God will forgive all sinners. If you are willing to return to the holy capital with us, everything you have done in the empire is worthless." It's past tense."
What these people said made Latil finally calm down a little. Her heartbeat was still fast, and it took a while to understand what they meant.
That is to say, did the great priest finally find out that his daughter was acting as a hindrance, trying to prevent the real saint from going to the holy capital
She couldn't help but feel joy in her heart, they finally found her, the daughter of the great priest has not deceived the eyes of the gods in the end.
But what does it mean for the gods to ignore the past? Latil became a little nervous, thinking of the unspeakable things she did in the empire, but they were all for survival, otherwise how would she have a chance to come here alive
"Okay, I'll go with you."
Latil was relieved, and nodded in ecstasy, "Are you going to leave now?"
"Yes, the priest used spells to temporarily disperse the dense fog in the misty forest. Before the fog gathers again, get out of here as soon as possible."
"Okay, then I'll go."
She grabbed her cloak and put it on, then glanced at Luya on the other bed, a little hesitant.
"Do you have any questions?" After noticing Latil's reaction, those people asked politely.
"No... no."
Latil shook her head, she was the one they were going to pick up, and had nothing to do with this girl. Although they are both newcomers going to the holy capital, there is no need to remind them to take her with them.
Thinking of the first time I invited her to cooperate, but she rejected it very ignorantly, and even questioned why she thought she was a saint, it was ridiculous...
"Nothing, let's go."
Latil put on his coat and left the room with those people. After hearing the sound of footsteps going away, Luya opened her eyes.
I rely on, can't you? Is Latil really a saint? I thought it was her delusion...
The fact that she was left behind did not surprise Luya, she did not become Lattier's licking dog, and Lattier would definitely be dissatisfied with her. But it's okay, Luya feels that Latier is a little narrow-minded, he is the type who will worry about little things for a long time, and it will not be a good thing if he walks with her, it is better not to get involved with her.
After all, she only wants to live an ordinary life. According to her experience, the saint and the daughter of the great priest will definitely be forced to fight. Use it as cannon fodder, let her be spared.
So Luya turned over and continued to sleep without any worries.
...
~Sacred City Lustland~
Isti in the confession hall was always expressionless, she stared at the pure white wall motionless, her thoughts drifted to nowhere.
She has been locked up here for two days. What made her sad was not her father's blame after discovering what she had done, but the High Priest Lambda told her that it was God's will to punish her.
"But father, that woman has betrayed our god!"
Isti was unwilling and aggrieved, she looked extremely sad, she did not expect that the gods would really punish her for being loyal because of that betrayer, she could not accept this.
"Originally, the great god Darius could completely descend on this land. Father, you have planned for so long for this, but she sabotaged our plan time and time again, and even killed our two best gods. Or... She is already in the company of those who have no faith, and even with evil creatures like dragons! She chose to turn her back on the light, why should she be given a chance to come back? Then what are we? She should Received the most severe punishment! His eyes were gouged out and he was scorched... "
"That's enough!" Priest Lambda sternly stopped Isti, "You shouldn't intercept her without authorization, and bringing her back to the Holy Spirit is the will of the God of Light, we don't need to question Darius' decision , as long as it is faithfully executed!"
"I..." Isti lowered her head and grabbed the scepter in her hand, her body was trembling.
High Priest Lambda looked at his tearful daughter and couldn't help sighing, then comforted her lovingly and said, "... that's all right, you can reflect on yourself in the hall of confession for now, God will know your loyalty to him and will I understand your painstaking efforts. I brought Eve back, but it does not prove that she is innocent. God is never wrong, and God will judge her. We are only God's executors, and no one should be mixed in Feelings, even against God's decision."
"... I see, Father."
Yisti lowered her head, she stopped arguing, and calmly locked herself in the hall of confession.
She only hated why she didn't inherit her father's foresight talent, otherwise the gods would not value her sister, but her.
Her father had always been able to predict the future, and even though it was just words to decipher, it was enough for them to deal with what came after.
The recent prophecy is actually very unstable. Every time the content of the priest Lambda's prediction will be distorted and changed to varying degrees. Not stable anymore.
And predicting the future is also very consuming. The priest Lambda has to sleep for a whole day after each prediction. Recently, his prediction cannot keep up with the changes, so he handed over all the affairs in the temple to Isti. Thinking that Estee actually did that thing...
But it also means that he cannot continue to rest, and he must stay awake before handing over his shameless eldest daughter to the great god. The latest prophecy so far is that her eldest daughter and other newborns The former came to the sacred city of Tagress, because her second daughter, Estee Lambda, was jealous of her eldest daughter, and asked the local priest to put two newcomers under house arrest, and one of the newcomers was indeed named Eve. He confirmed with the local priests through Asuka letters that the lady named Eve had black hair and black eyes, and she claimed to be the saint of the gods. They thought she was a crazy woman at first, so they compared her with another The pink-haired newborns were locked together.
Pink hair? Forget it, probably someone who doesn't matter.
Priest Lambda didn't care about the other newcomer. He quickly summoned the knights and priests of the temple and asked them to go to the sacred city of Tagress as quickly as possible. Fu brought back to the holy capital.
The author has something to say: Lu Ya dyed her hair pink!
another girl with "eve" in her name
The chain counts. After Gaowan joined the battlefield, even the gods never expected it.
Gudis is very insidious.
