"Why not?" Uris asked Lingyu depressedly and said, "Aren't we a family, you can help......"

"It's not that I don't help, it's the rule." Lingyu reluctantly explained, "If you want to become a shrine maiden, you must first be selected to the apprenticeship camp, and after a period of study and training, after being recommended by the working shrine maiden, you can hold an inauguration ceremony and receive the blessing of God." In other words, if you want to receive God's blessings, you have to follow the procedure. ”

"The evil witches of the Black Shrine can also be blessed by the gods and have an ageless appearance, are they also here according to the procedure?"

"That's how it should be."

Ling Yu thought for a moment and continued.

It is said that God will examine each person's heart before deciding on the type and degree of blessing. The evil shrine maidens of the Black Shrine have indeed been blessed, but only a few of them are truly guaranteed to be ageless, and most of them are genuine shrine maidens assigned from the shrine in the past. If you don't believe it, you can go and see those evil witches who are loyal to His Majesty, most of them have not undergone a dismissal ceremony, and it stands to reason that they should not grow old, but at present, except for Xiaoye and Xiaotori, as well as the five wives of Lord Yan Zhiliang, most of them have become middle-aged like ordinary Ira women. ”

Hearing this, Euris showed a displeased expression.

"Oh, then you mean to say that Yishan and I are not kind enough in our hearts?"

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant." Ling Yu hurriedly waved his hand, "I mean, if you want to get the blessing of immortality, you have to follow the procedure. That's just my speculation, and I'm not sure what God's blessings are. ”

"Follow the procedure...... Wouldn't we have to wait a few more years? Yishan's face was a little ugly, "If we all get old by then, will God let us look back to the way we were?" ”

"This ...... I don't know. Ling Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "But for now, among the shrine maidens who left their jobs in order to have children and then reinstated, there are no cases of younger looks. ”

Lingyu was afraid of hitting Euris and Yishan, so he didn't dare to say everything. Shrine maidens who leave their jobs in order to have children usually quickly change to their current age after leaving their jobs, and older shrine maidens become about forty years old, and some even grow gray hair. Their appearance will remain the same when they are reinstated, so normally, the shrine maidens of the new shrine will only leave once to have children, and the next time they leave will be a real resignation.

It is worth mentioning that as the empire expanded, more and more Ira shrines were conquered. Most of these shrines were directly removed from Mel because of excessive corruption, and unqualified shrine maidens were forcibly dismissed. At present, the Byrons Empire has removed 74 Iraa Shrines, and only 11 shrines have been retained because of their good performance, but in the end they still have to be subsumed under the command of new shrines.

Lingyu had a hunch that the oracle was definitely not as simple as Mel explained. Because there is an important factor that Mel ignores in his explanation, and that is the person who smashed the pottery. And as a result, the dyed pottery was smashed and not restored, which most likely meant that the old shrine system would have been destroyed by Mayr. Lingyu felt that Maier would probably eventually remove most of the shrines, leaving only thirty shrine names to correspond to the thirty triangular fragments, and Rimi Shrine was definitely not among them.

The oracle is really not something that mortals can explain casually......

When Lingyu wandered, Euris and Yishan were very depressed. For they were the only ones of Myr's wives who did not have the means to maintain their appearance. Xiaoxiao, Xiaoye, Xiaoniao, Lingyu and Zhenxin are Iraa shrine maidens, with the blessing of God, and their faces will not age; Alice, Ista and Lulu have the Leiting mage bloodline and age extremely slowly, as does Leah, who has the Elt mage blood; Nami and Yanhe are Ira's youkai and don't age at all; Roy and Zoe are from Ilibi, and they are the youngest, so they don't have to worry about this at all.

As early as ten years ago, the prescient Yu Mingli secretly passed the selection of the apprentice witch, and four years ago, he was recommended by the witch and became an official war witch, and he was blessed by the gods, and he no longer had to worry about his appearance. However, because she is a little older when she took office, her appearance has always remained around thirty years old, but this is better than watching herself age. As for An Jie, she is not a real spiritual master, but because she grew up in the Temple of All Souls, she has a pure faith and seems to have been recognized by the gods, and her appearance has never aged.

The quality of Ulis and Yishan is very good, they haven't seen age until they are thirty years old, and they only seem a little more mature after that. They thought they didn't have to do anything, they could look old like everyone else, so they did nothing. However, at the end of last year, Yishan suddenly noticed that she had wrinkles on her face, and Uris also noticed the sagging skin, and the two realized that they were not ageless, but they were older later than ordinary people.

Although Maier gave them the health jade he had received from Ramogis, he promised that no matter what became of them, he would love them as much as before. But they just didn't feel at ease, so Maier begged his wives to help Urise and Yishan.

Everyone didn't have much affection for Euris and Yishan, but their husbands had already begged them, and they could only help. With the help of their wives, Uris and Yishan's condition is much better, but they are still panicking. And in this way, they owe these people a favor, so that they don't even dare to speak out loud when they see these people on weekdays.

"That...... In fact, it's not too late to accept the selection! ”

Seeing Euris and Yishan's depressed looks, Ling Yu hurriedly comforted.

"Haven't you started to grow old yet? It's only a few years, and with everyone here, you'll be fine! ”

Euris and Yishan listened to Lingyu's words and cheered up a little. They followed Lingyu's suggestion to accept the witch selection. Lingyu gave the two of them the green light and made them apprentice shrine maidens. In order to keep their appearance, the two studied very seriously. But they care too much about their appearance, and although they learn the theoretical knowledge well, they don't have the will to serve the gods at all, and it is difficult for such people to be recommended as shrine maidens in the new shrine.

In the first place, Yu Ming was able to be recommended because she came completely according to the rules of the new shrine. She knew that Ira's shrine maiden was going to sacrifice herself in the service of God, and for this reason she resigned from her position as chief of the police department. However, immediately after her inauguration, she was reinstated by Officer Maier and became the chief of the police department again.

At that time, Euris and Yishan were secretly laughing at Yu Mingli for working too hard, and they were proud of the fact that they could look old without doing anything. When their faces began to age, the two of them came to Lingyu in a panic to ask for help, hoping to directly take up the position as a witch through the back door to protect their appearance.

Perhaps it was the actions of the two that angered the gods, and no matter what they did when they were apprentices, their faces would age. As soon as they leave the apprenticeship, their aging will stop and they will return to their original state during maintenance. Lingyu knew that they had been punished by God, and wanted them to fast and pray in the introspection room of the shrine headquarters to confess their sins to God. However, the two had no idea what mistake they had made, and they starved for days in vain, but it turned out to be useless.

In desperation, Uris and Yishan can only consult Yu Mingli, wanting to know what to do to get God's blessing. For the two people's inquiries, Yu Mingli was even more helpless. Because she just did what the rules did, that's all, and she couldn't help them at all. In order to comfort the two, Yu Mingli could only tell them about his experience.

"Listen to the instructions of the elder witch, pray more, read more scriptures, and be sincere...... Well...... Also, there must be a will to sacrifice...... That's right! Sacrificial Will! ”

"The will to sacrifice? What are we going to sacrifice? status? ”

Yu Mingli didn't know how to answer Urris's question, she did sacrifice her position in the first place, but she didn't think that God's blessing was paid for by sacrifice. During his time at the apprenticeship camp, Yu Mingli learned that God does not like to trade with people. Although Hameiri made a sacrifice and then she received God's blessing, it was not a transaction, but a kind of approval from God, because God only blesses those He approves.

When Hameiri took office, one of the apprentice shrine maidens who held the inauguration ceremony at the same time as her did not receive any blessings, and was cursed to be unable to open his mouth to speak, and had sores on his face. The chief witch held a resignation ceremony for her on the spot and removed her from the shrine maiden. Yu Mingli knew this girl, and she behaved very well among the apprentice shrine maidens, especially very good at talking, giving people a feeling of being very faithful to God.

In order to help her lift the curse, the Witch asks her to confess her sins to the gods. The girl could not speak, but the moment she decided to confess, she was able to speak.

It turned out that everything she did in the apprenticeship camp was pretended, and she didn't care about God at all, she just wanted the identity of a shrine maiden, so that she could look old and use her position to get in touch with the rich and officials. In order to be eligible to be recommended, she secretly made her companions bad and made them make mistakes in front of the chief witch, but no one knew about it.

After she confessed, the sores on her face began to slowly subside. Knowing that she had repented, the Elder Witch allowed her to return to the camp to continue her practice. The shrine maiden warned the girl that if she was cursed the next time she took office, the shrine would kick her out of the camp and not allow her to step into the camp again.

This incident had a great impact on Yu Mingli, so much so that she still remembers it vividly. She suddenly felt that it was not a good thing to have Euris and Yishan in the apprenticeship camp, at least not yet, because they cared too much about their appearance and could easily make mistakes because of it. In case they were cursed during the inauguration, the reputation of the royal family would suffer.

Unbeknownst to Yu Mingli, Euris and Yishan had already been cursed before the inauguration ceremony could be held. They still can't get into the boot camp because once they do, they start to age. While the rate of aging may seem slow to men, it can be quite rapid to women, especially the senile themselves.

In order to keep the two of them from thinking about getting married for a while, Yumei told them what happened to the girl, so that they could know that there was a certain danger of becoming a shrine maiden, at least in the new shrine.

In fact, when the shrine system was operating normally, cursed girls often appeared at shrine maiden inauguration ceremonies. But as the shrine system corrupted, there were fewer and fewer cursed girls, and in the end, not even one could be found. Many girls with bad intentions can still receive God's blessings after taking office, and sometimes the degree of blessing is still very strong. However, this kind of thing can only happen to the War Witch and the Servant Witch, and I wish the Witch either not to get the blessing of the ability, or to get the corresponding degree of ability blessing according to her own conduct, and there will be no situation where the bad character is not good but the blessing of the ability is extremely strong.

Gray once mentioned this phenomenon in his speech. In his speech, he told a story about a father who lived with his daughter, and when the daughter was disobedient, the father beat her. The purpose of the father beating his daughter is not to punish, but to make her obedient and not to do anything wrong. But the daughter just didn't obey, and the more the father didn't let her do anything, the more she did. Over time, the father gave up on his daughter and let her do whatever she wanted. When his daughter comes to him and asks him for money, he will give her some money when he has spare money, and he won't give it if he doesn't.

The father in the story refers to the gods, and the daughter refers to the Ira. Trainee shrine maidens were cursed when they took office because they had done something wrong, so God would discipline them like a father and make them realize their mistakes and not do them again. However, the Ira's shrine maidens refused to change their teachings, and eventually God had to give up on them and let them do whatever they wanted.

When a daughter asks her father for money, she refers to the blessing that Ira's shrine maiden received when she took office. In any case, there was a pact between God and the first generation of shrine maidens, and God would not break the covenant and deny the relationship between Him and Ira. Even if a daughter is no longer a thing, the father treats her as a daughter, so he will give his daughter money. Even if Ira's shrine maidens completely turned away from the gods, the gods would treat them as the successors of the first shrine maidens and give them some blessings.

The advent of the new shrine has put the shrine system back on track, and the gods will be as strict as before, so the curse will appear in the inauguration ceremony of the new shrine. In other words, it's a good thing for a new-style shrine.

If Euris and Yishan had been able to ask Gray for advice, they might not have ended up in the end. At that time, Gray and Yunxin were still in the Bluestone Palace, but they didn't go to ask Gray, not even Meier. In the end, the plan of the two completely failed, and in despair, Yishan thought of death.
