Chapter 151: The Bloody Curtain (7)

(Cat pounces Chinese http://www.mpzw.com.)

www.mpzw.com) "Excuse me, where is the Church of the Light?"

Near the south gate of Snowy City, Dorothy asked passers-by.

A passer-by who was about to go home to cook stopped and patiently pointed her the way.

"Thank you very much, and may the Light bless you. She solemnly thanked passers-by.

"May the Light be with you. Passers-by gave the same blessing.

Dorothy, who was blessed, had a pious expression on her face, and she was irrepressibly moved when she came from afar—Xue Man was worthy of being the center of the Church of Light.

She wished the Light to almost everyone she met, and most of them replied earnestly.

……

"The first apprentices of the priests trained from among the locals who are familiar with the teachings of the Light have been sent to all the villages of the Snowmanland...... As for the places outside the county of Snowman, according to the instructions of the eldest lady, we did not organize a missionary purpose. ”

At noon, in the locked conference room, Vengenia reported to Clement on the work of the church.

"Well, got it. Clement, who was sitting at the top, nodded and waved for the next person to report.

Riotus got up from his seat, bowed to Clement, and said, "Following your instructions, I asked a hundred random citizens, and eighty-seven and fifty-three percent of them said they believed in the Light. ”

The room fell silent, followed by loud laughter.

"Idiot, where did those half of them come from. Mills, who was stuck in the armrested seat, slapped the table and laughed and revealed: "I saw you getting drunk in the tavern last night, did you complete the investigation mission assigned by the eldest sister in your sleep?"

"One of the interviewees was a tiger man who spoke the lingua franca...... So it's a little more than half a bit. Riotus grabbed his hair and quibbled, but it drew even more ridicule.

"That's enough!" Clement slapped the table and waited for the crowd to be quiet, then continued, "Let him go, don't waste time on these inconsequential things." ”

A walk around the snowy city is enough to understand how deeply rooted the teachings of the Holy Light are.

Clement raised her hand to signal the meeting to continue, and Kana, who had finally been released from confinement, handed her a list and said, "After several investigations, these people have shown great devotion and enthusiasm for the Light...... He also has a very high level of loyalty to the church. ”

"Chawara...... Dorothy, the Imperial...... Belen, son of the earl's butler......" Clement muttered softly as he browsed.

"They're almost all trying to be paladins or priests, do we want to ......," Kana asked in a whisper, asking if Clement really wanted to train them.

"It doesn't matter. Pushing the list aside, Clement said, "Even if you are favored by the Light, you can't become a true paladin and priest without long and rigorous training...... We have plenty of time to teach the right thing from the start, rather than arousing their suspicions. ”

After speaking, Clement paused, changed his expression to a stern expression, and said, "Now, let's start talking about business. ”

The knights and priests all took on a solemn posture, and the atmosphere that had been very relaxed not long ago suddenly became solemn.

Toto got up and closed the thick curtains, Pol lit a small candle, and Alicia checked the lock again.

Darkness and silence hung in the air, and even the faint sound of the candle burning with a dim glow could be heard.

"Ladies and gentlemen. Clement's voice seemed ethereal, as if it were coming from far away, and she spoke slowly, "It's time to breathe new blood into the Order. ”

"For the Light, for the Order, for the Righteousness of Our Hearts!" the knights and priests chanted in solemn voices: "We are the most devout guardians of the Light, vowing to defend its dignity with our lives and honor, we are the sharpest blades of the Light, vowing to purify this filthy world with our swords and staffs......

Clement shouted, "All for it!"

The knights and priests replied loudly, "For the bright smiles of the Lori!"

……

Strange things happen here every day, but everyone doesn't notice it.

Maybe the person who will notice these things is the strange person?

There was another strange meeting going on in the conference room deep in the church, and Mia, who was carrying a kettle outside the door and trying to go in to pour water, stopped, and suddenly felt that she had better stay away from here.

The man named Druid, whom Miss Kana had been searching for, still had no clues, but no one seemed to notice that there was a strange girl in the church......

Mia was carrying the kettle and preparing to put it back in the kitchen at the back of the main hall, and as soon as she entered, she saw the white-haired girl with animal ears and a big furry tail who had scared her—she was rummaging through the cupboard for food, picking up a loaf of bread, sniffing it, and biting it with her teeth.

"Ahh

Sighing, Mia dismissed the idea of stopping the other. She put the kettle down and prepared two plates of bread on the table.

Carefully carrying the two plates down the stairs, Mia pushed open the door to the basement.

"There are strange people everywhere. She muttered quietly, bypassing Nomi, who was sleeping on a mat in the corner, and pushed open a secret door with her thin shoulders.

Stepping down the stairs again, she came to a room flanked by iron cages.

A man and a woman were locked in two separate cages - the other day they were banging wildly against the cages and yelling at Mia, but lately they were lying on the haystacks in the cages without any energy.

She looked closely through the dense bars and made sure there was no danger, then used the key to open a small window under the cage and put food inside.

Mia didn't know what the two men had committed, but she had only vaguely heard that the reason why they were being locked up here seemed to be because they had offended Miss Loria.

Hearing the movement of the small iron window opening, the two people in the cage only moved slightly, and they didn't even bother to look at Mia...... She suddenly felt a little pitiful for them, and reminded herself in her heart not to anger the pink-haired church lady.

Locking the bars, Mia hung the key back around her neck and left the strange cell.

Walking up the basement hall, she opened the door to the utility room and hugged the doll from the storage compartment.

It was a doll with elaborate workmanship she had never seen before, but it had no head.

"Even if you want me to help you get your head back, where am I going to find it?" said Mia, caressing the doll's clothes.

Strange things happen every day in the church, but no one notices it.
