"I understand what you mean, and I cherish our friendship very much, but I really can't agree with the practices of the Temple, and the religion of mercy and love has no respect for life and dignity, even if my hands are covered with blood, I can't agree with your anti-human behavior."

"And what do you want me to do? If you are not strong, you will not be able to bring the will of the God of Light to the entire Kira Continent, and if you are not strong, you can only be killed by Rogge, Cloud Shadow, for the sake of those I value, I have no way out. ”

“…… I understand, in fact, we are all the same, the temple and Rogge are on the same footing, you really have no other way, and I was coerced and coerced by Rogge, and I was also powerless to turn back, but unfortunately we have different ideas, and we are destined to go on different paths. ”

There is no right or wrong in this matter, everyone was cornered by reality, and the atmosphere at the table was depressed until a few o'clock for a while.

"So who are we and who we can't convince anyone anymore?"

"That's right, I thought I could make you accept a compromise, but now it seems impossible."

"A compromise?"

"That's right, Rog wants to wipe out the temple completely, and I propose to keep a temple controlled by the royal power."

"Huh, that's your compromise? Turn the temple into an empty shell? So that Rogge can control the believers of Ania as he pleases?! ”

Seeing Sophia's angry and smiling expression, Yunying didn't make any more useless persuasion, slowly leaned her back against the back of the chair, and her eyes drifted to the ceiling and she said softly: "Although I don't want to admit it, this is probably the last open and honest conversation between us, anyway, I have already told you about Rogge's plan, and you have to decide what to do, I just hope we don't go to the worst step." ”

After saying these words, as if relieved, Yun Ying got up directly and went to the bar to pay the bill after taking the last sip of tea.

"Yunying, don't be angry, Sophia also has her own difficulties, her parents died when she was a child. Sister Joy in the temple is like her mother—"

It was Bull who caught up, and he seemed to want to ease the tension between Cloud Shadow and Sophia.

"Miss, a pot of Xinzi tea is two hundred gold coins."

The waiter respectfully handed over the order, two hundred gold coins, and waved the crystal card at Boer in resignation, and Yun Ying said teasingly: "Your princess will never forget to knock me hard at any time." ”

"Uh......"

"Don't worry, things aren't so bad that we have to fight bayonets, but it's your third brother, haven't you thought about yourself? All of you are officials in your family. ”

"Phew, let's take it one step at a time, we are also embarrassed by this, but we can't leave Sophia alone."

“…… It seems that you already have a plan in mind. Then I can only wish you the best of luck. ”

"I'm sorry, Cloudshadow, we'll always be on Sophia's side, even if we're your enemy. But I would say, you're a great friend. ”

"Hehe, Bull, you're really straightforward, okay, I'll leave first today. Please bring a message to Sophia - I have written down the two hundred gold coins. ”

Walking out of the Harpa Cafeteria, Cloud Shadow took a deep breath and walked towards the Demon Martial Arts Academy - even if Rogge had to fight the temple tomorrow, she would have to do her part-time job today.

"Xiaoying, don't worry too much, the decisive battle won't start so easily."

"Yin Feng? How so? ”

"Didn't you see those ascetics when you went to the temple yesterday?"

"yes, what's wrong?"

"Huh. Although the strength of the other priests and nuns in the temple is among the mages or ** masters, that group of ascetics is not easy to mess with, and it is precisely because of their existence that the temple can be invincible in the holy war a hundred years ago. ”

"What? Those were in rags. Skinny people? ”

"Tsk, no matter how fat the sheep are, they only eat grass, and jackals will eat sheep no matter how thin they are, not to mention that no one knows where these jackals are hiding."

“…… Your analogy is mean, so what level of magicians are they? It must have been much stronger than me, and I couldn't sense the fluctuations in their magic at all. ”

"Cut. Idiotic words, even if you perceive a hundred years, it is useless. Because they're not magicians at all! ”

"Yay? But I obviously saw that there was golden light on their hands during the Holy Light Ceremony, isn't that light magic?! ”

"Hmph, it's finally a bit enlightened, the priests and nuns in the temple practice all kinds of magic, mainly light magic, of course, but the ascetics are different—to be exact, they don't perceive any magical elements."

"No way, aren't they just ordinary people?"

"Yes, physically, ascetics are ordinary people, but their actions change that fact."

"What do you mean?"

"Those ascetics are poor people, some of them have been lonely since childhood, some of them have changed their families, and some of them have suffered from disabilities, but they have all survived strongly, and they have constantly honed their will in pain."

"Speaking of which, Sophia also said yesterday that ascetics will cultivate in a harsh environment and help those people in need, which is a great group."

"That's right, although I don't look at the actions of the temple at all, but the ascetics are really admirable, in the unbearable pain of ordinary people, they temper their hearts and spiritual power day after day, year after year, it is no exaggeration to say that the spiritual power of those people who stand up at random will be ten times higher than yours."

"Oh my God, a bunch of perverts, how is this possible?!"

"Hehe, I'm surprised, didn't you use the same extreme method to improve your spiritual power before, it's just that the cultivation of the ascetics is even more inhumane."

"That's true, but how can the pain of the extreme training method be easily bearable, I can't think of ten times more mental power than me needs to be stimulated by the limit of how painful."

"There is nothing impossible in the world, when you are forced to a desperate situation, you can't break through, there is only death, don't look at the number of ascetics in the temple is now as many as thousands, and there are hundreds of thousands of people who swore penance at the beginning, but unfortunately most of them fell into the uninhabited poor mountains and bad waters."

"I don't understand, what is the purpose of such a huge sacrifice, without magic - what can you do with strong spiritual power?"

"Didn't you see that? At the Holy Light Ceremony, a ray of golden light in the hands of each ascetic - to be exact, it was a spiritual power that was compressed dozens of times. ”

"What?! Pull mental power out of your body?! ”

"That's right, after extracting the spiritual power, it can be used by the bishops who can echo with the god of light, and only a huge amount of spiritual power can maintain a short-term connection with the god-"
