The Palm Monster took two quick steps and chased after Catherine. He leapt to his feet, flipped two heels in the air, and landed on the female mage's shoulder.

This small "raid" startled Catherine, and the female mage's pace involuntarily slowed down, and she almost stood still.

"My lord, I have something very important to tell you. The Palm Monster whispered in Catherine's ear, "Actually, no one has really succeeded in crossing the sea of faith until now. ”

The female mage frowned and turned her face slightly, "No one has crossed it?"

"Don't get me wrong, my lord. The palm monster lowered his voice again and said, "It's not that no one has crossed it, but no one has really succeeded in crossing it - it has not been hindered, and it has crossed safely and intact." ”

"You'd better make it clear, I don't want to play any word games with you. The female mage's tone was cold.

"That's right, sir. Usually believers can only enter the kingdom of God by soul means, and there are very few people like adults who have perfect soul vessels. The Palm Monster cautiously spoke, "A soul without the protection of a soul container is basically powerless to withstand the test in the sea of faith. Unless it is a few very powerful souls, even if they can reach the other side of the sea, they have lost most of their strength, and at most they can only retain their intact consciousness."

"Go on. ”

"I don't know why, my lord's soul aura is not as powerful now as it was when I first met you. The palm monster paused deliberately, but the female mage did not say anything, "According to my experience, weak souls will definitely encounter a difficult predicament and sink in the sea of faith. ”

"Are you suggesting that my soul is weak, so there's a difficult predicament just around the corner?" asked Catherine.

"Don't dare, sir. The palm monster hurriedly said respectfully, "You are just not as strong as you were at the beginning, but you are definitely not weak." But I do have some apprehension that you should be put to a new test, but at the moment there seems to be no sign of it. If you go on like this, you won't be able to go to the other side of the sea. ”

Catherine pondered for a moment, "Are you telling me that the so-called test is the shortcut, or even the only way to get to the other side?"

"Praise your wisdom, dear sir. The Palm Monster exclaimed, "Your wisdom is definitely not inferior to your beauty, and it struck my little soul." ”

"You remind me of the famous 'parrot's soft tongue' in the history of the kingdom. It wouldn't be a good thing if my god was surrounded by guys like you. The female mage looked indifferent, "Put away your nonsense and talk about something more useful." I don't want to waste too much time and just take a walk here. ”

"My lord, please don't be too harsh. I just opened up and told my true thoughts and emotions. Although the Palm Monster did not know that the "parrot's soft tongue" was the courtier Parochu who was reused in the later years of Emperor Favotte, he could still hear that Catherine was not praising him.

Fortunately, the god made the Lord not feel angry at all, but buried his head and said, "I don't think you know the duties of Lord Night and the ultimate fate of the souls who sink into the sea of faith. To put it simply, the souls who can come to the Sea of Faith are relatively powerful souls, and they already have the basic qualifications to become the people of the Kingdom of God. Every citizen of God's kingdom is precious, a dear believer of our God. They are not easily abandoned and lost. Therefore, not being able to withstand the test does not mean that it is a failure, and sinking in the sea of faith is not necessarily a bad thing. ”

"The sea of faith purifies the soul and sharpens faith. This process is painful, but if you persevere, your wavering faith will be strengthened, and your faith will become strong again, so that you will become a true believer in our God. At this time, the soul that was once submerged in the sea of faith can rise to the surface and reach the other side of the sea, and acquire a new body, the soul vessel, to protect itself. Therefore, such people of the kingdom of God also call themselves "the people of the sea," the lord of the sea of faith, the Lord of the Night, the "Father of the Sea," and the body they acquire when they reach the other shore is called the "sea body." People with sea bodies are actually very recognizable, they are all like me. The palm monster jumped off Catherine's shoulder, and ran quickly in front of the mage, striking a position with its palm open.

Catherine didn't stop, just slowed down a little to re-examine the Palm Monster. As she got closer, the Divine Envoy turned on the mage's shoulder.

"You weren't born like this, so where did you come from? and who is it? Tell me your name. This was the first time the female mage had asked about the origin of the palm monster, and it seemed that she was beginning to look at this strange-looking fellow.

"My lord, I don't know. The Palm Monster sighed, "After withstanding the torment of sinking, I have been reborn and belong to my god." Everything in the past is a cloud of smoke, and there is no need to exist anymore. I only remember my name, my name is Sig. ”

Catherine turned her head to look at Sieg, her gaze piercing the heart of the palm monster.

"Sigurg, my god summons us in the darkness. Our gods will be the lighthouse, and we will be the boats of the sea. and the heart is directed to my God. In the vast sea, I also see the other side. Your heart is full of dark clouds, and how will the light of God shine?"

"Sir, do you have a glimpse of my heart?" replied Sigurd, "my heart is clear, and there is no dark cloud, which is already on the other side." ”

The female mage snorted coldly, and instead of continuing the topic, she asked, "According to you, if you are redeemed after sinking, you will become the people of the Chosen One." What about souls that don't sink?"

"Naturally, it was a direct crossing of the sea of faith to the other side. Such souls are so rare that the Chosen People generally call them 'believers on the other side'. Sig whispered, as if he was afraid that someone would hear it, "The believers on the other side have passed the test of faith, and their status in the kingdom of God is very high, and even the tree priests dare not easily offend them. ”

"Tree sacrifice?"

"The Lord you met earlier in the Grey Forest is the Tree Priest. Sigurt cautiously explained, "The tree priests are in charge of a large number of sacrifices from outside the kingdom of God. For example, the bullseyed demon in your hand. ”

Catherine stretched out her left hand and looked at it, "Is this thing called a bullseye demon, and why is it on my hand?"

"Ah, you, you don't know?" said Sigger, raising his voice a little, looking surprised.

"Should I know?" Catherine suddenly stretched out her right hand and grabbed Sigur in her hand, put it in front of her, and stared at him, "but it doesn't matter, it seems that you all know." Then tell me what happened, from the beginning, from the time you saw me. Don't try to hide it, my God is omnipresent, guiding me through all the fog. Before me, you are naked = naked. ”

The female mage's right hand clenched the palm monster, and countless divine characters climbed up her fingertips and emerged from there, growing into sharp branches. The branches had no leaves, but were covered with barbs that bound the palm monsters.

"No, it can't be. Sieg screamed in horror, trembling all over, but didn't dare to move at all, "Divine Thorns, this is impossible, how can you summon Divine Thorns?"

"My god is omnipotent, and a thorn is nothing. Catherine wiggled her fingers slightly, and the thorns of the Divine Word gradually contracted, and many barbs pierced into Sig's body, wrapping the palm monster tighter.
