What the High Priest Elijah said about the activities of the church, Alan knew.

The Temple of the Lord of Light on Mount Abuna occupies a large area and houses more than 4,000 people, including about 3,000 orphans and elderly people taken in by the church.

This may seem like a huge number, but it is a small fraction of the number of people displaced throughout the empire. After all, the size of the main temple was limited, and most of the orphans and elderly people rescued and taken in by the Holy See were housed in various local churches in the empire.

Except for the High Priest who personally sits on the Emperor Star of the First Sector, the other four Regions have priests in charge of local church affairs, who go to Abner every year to report on their work and discuss some important decisions of the Holy See.

Along with the priests of the various sectors, there are also patients who are severely mentally deficient and even mentally broken—most of them children who have lost their homes and loved ones due to Zerg attacks or rampant interstellar piracy.

At this time, on the one hand, in cooperation with the actions of the priests, and on the other hand, in order to make the people pay more attention to these people who need help and care because of the loss of shelter due to natural disasters**, the church will have a large-scale event every year, open to the public, and call on believers to participate.

At this time last year, Adrington Manor also donated in the name of the family, but most of the people who could really participate in the event were some spiritual purifiers, and at that time Alan had not yet awakened, and he was too young to participate.

After a year, he has "awakened" the purification of spiritual power, and his personal ability has reached a certain level, coupled with his current status, it is likely that the Royal Academy will cooperate with the decision of the royal family to combine their extracurricular practice with the help activities of the Holy See.

Previously, the royal family had been represented by Her Royal Highness Villanica, but she was married in a year, and Antonio was the eldest son, and after they got married, Her Royal Highness's focus on Villanica was bound to shift to the family...... So what Prince Salvin means is that from this year onwards, you will gradually understand your responsibilities and obligations. ”

Once Kyle inherits the throne and Alan is the Emperor's companion at that time, he will have to do these activities himself, and instead of learning to do them at that time, it is better to start learning now.

High Priest Elijah paused and continued: "If you are only my student, then it is okay to stay in the main temple and do your part, but as the crown prince's betrothed partner, the royal family wants you to be more close to the people, so the possibility of going to the local church is very high. ”

The same is the church, the environment of the local church is naturally not as good as the main temple, it can only be said that it is cleaner and more hygienic than the shelter in the society, and there is no need to expect too much else.

It is impossible to participate in this kind of activity to make Allen and his students go home or go back to the academy to sleep every day - in this way, for those pampered noble young masters and young ladies, staying in the local church may not be a greater challenge than using spiritual power.

Alan nodded, indicating that he understood the elder's meaning very well.

In fact, he himself is very willing to participate in such activities, and can use his ability to help some people in need of care, so as not to waste his talent and efforts.

- It doesn't really matter if you're in Abner or somewhere else. Since the royal family has made arrangements, he will go where he should go according to their expectations.

High Priest Elijah was very relieved to see that Alan did not resist or be embarrassed—this child was indeed a good boy with a good heart and not afraid of difficulties.

He reached out and touched Allen's forehead, and said softly, "However, to help these children, it is not enough to be able to make potions. ”

Alan looked at High Priest Elijah suspiciously: "If we don't make potions, then what else can we do?" ”

"Mental defects and mental breakdowns caused by psychological trauma cannot be completely cured simply by taking medicine or receiving psychological treatment," explained Elijah High Priest for Alan: "If the spiritual purifiers can cooperate with doctors and psychotherapists to treat these patients from the aspect of mental counseling, it will get twice the result with half the effort." ”

"That's why so many children and mechwarriors are sent to Abner every year – the power of faith and the power of spiritual channeling can promote better healing of wounds in their hearts."

"Spiritual counseling?"

"That's right," High Priest Elijah nodded, "and this is what you're going to focus on for the rest of the year." ”

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Learning to grooming is a long and complicated process, and it is even more difficult for Allen, who is in contact with him for the first time, and he has stayed in the temple of Abner for the entire long vacation, and he has not even returned to Adrington Manor.

It just so happened that Deacon Anna needed to return to the Holy See regularly to deal with some matters and explain to High Priest Elijah the recent state of His Royal Highness Vincent, so Prince Salvin asked her to take the "Three Jewels of Serentu" and go to "take refuge" with Allen.

"Woohoo!"

The little tiger was very excited to see the "big garden" of the Holy See! It arched Allen's chin with its small head, and occasionally stretched out a small claw to pull at Allen's trouser leg, or point in the direction of the "Great Garden".

- There's a garden with so many beautiful and fun flowers, and the cubs want to play in it! Whew!

The baby panda was deeply attracted by the description of the little tiger, and the children were extremely curious about the unknown territory, even if they were well-behaved, they couldn't help but raise their heads and look at Alan with expectant eyes.

Alan looked at the two little ones with some embarrassment, thinking of the request of the High Priest Elijah.

"His Highness Vincent must want to go to the Medicinal Plantation Garden, please be sure to dispel it!"

Although in front of him, the little tiger has always been a little more well-behaved than usual, but it is not excluded that when he arrives at the medicine plantation garden, the three little things will be happy in two different directions (Jiu Jiu will definitely follow the cub, so it is in two directions), so which side will he chase first?!

Alan pondered for a while, and still said to the little tiger: "Baby, there are a lot of golden retrievers and shepherd dogs in the church, and there are a few of them who are very cute, don't you want to go and see them?" ”

The little tiger tilted his head and looked at Alan suspiciously—the golden retriever? Sheepdog? Isn't it really cute?!

Alan seemed to understand its question, and said categorically: "It's very round, it's all hairballs!" ”

"Woohoo!" The little tiger happily wagged its tail and immediately left the "big garden" behind!

- Balls! Ball! The cub is going to see the ball!

Alan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart—he had finally lived up to the expectations of High Priest Elijah!

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Your Highness, what do you think?" Alan saw that His Royal Highness Kyle slowly opened his eyes, and hurriedly asked him how he felt with anticipation.

After the "real yàn" just now, Kyle was actually very shocked in his heart, but he didn't show it, but just responded with a realistic attitude: "I can clearly feel that the fluctuations of mental power have been controlled, and the whole process is very comfortable." ”

Alan approached him in surprise and continued, "Is there anything strange about that?" Do you feel violated or uncomfortable? ”

His Highness Kyle shook his head, "Not at all. ”

Hearing the other party's answer, Alan was ecstatic, but after being excited for a while, he gradually calmed down - His Royal Highness Kyle has a close relationship with him, so he did not reject and resist him, and changed to a stranger, which may not be so smooth, nor may it have such an effect.

During the previous long vacation and the following two consecutive weekends, Alan was in Abner to learn spiritual counseling with High Priest Elijah.

This is an ability that is even more ethereal than the preparation of a potion - according to the High Priest Elijah, "spiritual channeling" is both a test of the purifier's ability to control his or her own mental power, as well as the ability of talent to account for the determining factor.

In fact, there were some apothecary masters who could easily handle level 7 or even level 8 medicinal plants, but they would not be able to make any achievements in spiritual channeling for the rest of their lives.

High Priest Elijah just wanted to expand Allen's knowledge at first, but he didn't expect him to quickly comprehend some skills, which surprised High Priest Elijah as a teacher!

He told Allen that the effect of mental channeling is powerful, but it is very difficult to operate.

First of all, mental counseling is divided into superficial counseling and deep counseling.

The former refers to the preliminary and superficial mental counseling carried out by the mental purifier to the patient, which has a significant effect on alleviating the mental defects, but it is only an indicator and cannot cure the root cause.

Deep counseling is the ultimate goal of mental counseling, which is a process of thorough combing and repair of the patient's mental strength, which can fundamentally treat mental defects and even mental collapse.

However, shallow grooming is possible, deep grooming is difficult, and the transition between these two states is not something that can be completed in one or two years.

To achieve deep grooming, at least two conditions must be met.

First, the level of mental strength of the person being channeled is much greater than that of the person being channeled; The second is that the person being counseled should trust and be close to the person being counseled psychologically - both are indispensable.

High Priest Elijah certainly didn't expect Alan to accomplish in such a short period of time what others had worked so hard to do in half a lifetime.

He just hopes that Alan can do a certain amount of shallow grooming, which is a good thing for him and the people around him, and even better for the children he is about to face.

When Eren was in Abner, the High Priest of Elijah had Eren do it directly on him, because it would better help Eren find his feelings.

If Alan makes progress or deviates, High Priest Elijah can use his true intuitive feelings to let Alan continue to go deeper or adjust his pace.

Although Alan was very embarrassed and even panicked at first, the teacher insisted that the students could only obey - perhaps it was the pressure of the elders that made Alan more focused, and his progress was very fast!

Now that he is back in class at the academy, Allen's "real object" has inexplicably become His Highness Kyle!

Fortunately, shallow grooming is also effective on His Highness - Alan feels that this has a lot to do with the close relationship between them, after all, getting along for a long time makes them trust and attach to each other more.

Alan happily used the terminal to write down the experience of "realization" just now, and planned to report his latest practice results to High Priest Elijah when he went to Abner again!

Just then, a pair of bony hands wrapped around his waist, Kyle

- Apparently His Highness Kyle volunteered to be his training partner! How can you turn to him for a reward?!

Allen's ears were very sensitive, and his body trembled slightly by Kyle's warm breath, and he asked with a red face, "What do you want...... What compensation? ”

Looking at the little fiancé next to him who was knowingly asking and still thinking about pretending to be stupid, Kyle gently pressed on him: "I want you ......"
