"What's the point of you doing this?"

After Liulixian and Bai Shixuan returned to the Longcheng military barracks, Aya couldn't bear it anymore and asked this question that had puzzled her for a long time.

"I agree that you're using Bedwell's wife and daughter as a breakthrough, but what exactly are you doing now? Let Ruri and Xiaobai approach them, and then what? That's right, Ms. Marina does value and love Ruri and Xiaobai very much, but do you really think she will betray her faith for the sake of the two? She is a saint of the Church, so strong in her faith that even her beloved Bedwell is unshakable, and you think too simply

Wang Lu smiled lightly and looked at Aya with interest.

Aya sighed and said, "I don't mean to blame you, but it's just a waste of time to go on like this, and they have been in contact for a long time, so it's easy to see the flaws." Marina was obsessed with wanting to take this opportunity to break through the communication channel with Dragon City, and it was the introduction of her daughter Elaine, so she didn't suspect Xiaobai. But if you look closely, you can still find clues. The Holy Maiden of the Holy Light Sect is more or less a high-level professional, and her eyesight is not so weak. ”

"Aya, you're talking to yourself, when did I say that I'm going to shake Marina's mother and daughter's faith in the Light?"

"Huh?"

Wang Lu said: "The devout belief in the Holy Light has never been the focus of contradictions. The spiritual essence advocated by the Holy Light is the virtues of good things in the world, such as tolerance, kindness, fraternity, and so on. How could these qualities be the culprits that hindered Marina and Bedwell? Bedwell is not an Abyssal Demon. It is not Marina's faith that causes the conflict between husband and wife, but the church in which she lives. If there was no Holy Light Sect, there would be so much trouble

Aya was stunned: "You want to provoke her relationship with the church?" ”

In fact, there is no need to provoke, the concept of saints and the church are inherently irreconcilable. The concept of the Holy Maiden is actually a highly idealized product, which requires a woman to be in touch with the Holy Light, and to be pure in heart and not stained with dust, so that she can have the power of holiness and show the world the beauty of the Holy Light. However, when a person walks in the world, how can he not be stained with red dust? The so-called saint is just a product of deformed growth under overprotection, and she simply does not know the sinister nature of the world. As for the Holy Light Sect, although it is gathered because of the Holy Light faith, it is essentially an interest organization, and all interest organizations are absolutely not pure. ”

Aya sighed: "That's not bad. ”

"So the contradiction between the saint and the church will break out sooner or later, when either the saint chooses to accept the reality, or the church forces them to accept the reality - so the professional life of the saint is generally very short, and Marina is so old that she is already overage, and there may be no credit for Bedwell behind it."

"Bedwell?" Aya closed her eyes, "It really looks like he's going to do it." ”

Wang Lu said: "But the contradictions that should break out will break out sooner or later, and what we have to do is to gently push before this general trend." ”

"Specifically?"

"Sometimes, just three or two rumors can have a great effect, for example, Marina secretly colluded with the Dragon City Guardians under the cover of preaching to newcomers, trying to disadvantage the Holy Light Sect."

“…… Will such low-level rumors be useful? In any case, Marina is still a saint of the church after all.

"Of course it will work, because this is eternal human nature"

Wang Lu paused, as if with deep feelings, and said: "People have always preferred rumors to the truth. ”

"It's just chasing after the wind"

In the Dragon City Cathedral, it was the time of the assembly, and it was solemn, but the Holy Maiden Marina suddenly erupted in the stunned eyes of many clergy, her voice trembled slightly, containing boiling anger.

"Yulia, do you dare to say it out loud what you just said in secret? Let everyone listen to it?

The woman named by Marina was a beautiful female priest, who was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then showed a malicious smile: "It's nothing, it's just that there are many rumors in the past two days, saying that you and the two Dragon City Guards are very close, and you have to meet every once in a while, and you don't know what to talk about sneakily." Some people also said that you and those two Dragon City Guards took the opportunity of the mission to secretly collude with Bedwell, which may be detrimental to the church......"

"I secretly colluded with the Dragon City Guards to try to disadvantage the church? This kind of ridiculous rumor, if you dare to say it, if I really want to collude with the city lord of Dragon City, how could I ...... back then" Speaking of this, Marina suddenly woke up, stopped talking, forcibly suppressed her anger, and her face turned red, "Yulia, lying is the original sin

Yulia smiled lightly: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't say it seriously, I originally told it as a joke for the sisters, so that everyone knows how ignorant the world is, and they dare to spread any nonsense. You are the Holy Daughter of the Church, the Holy Grace bestowed by the Archbishop himself, who dares to doubt your faith in the Light and your faithfulness to the Church? ”

Hearing this, Marina's anger increased, but she felt at a loss for what to do.

The rest of the priests reacted differently, and almost everyone present knew that Yulia was deliberately targeting Marina, she and Marina were born in the same monastery, and all aspects of the conditions were above Marina, and the two were full of superiority when they got along, and then they competed together for the position of saint, Yulia thought that she had won the battle, but in the end she unexpectedly lost to Marina, who was inferior to herself in all aspects, and has held a grudge since then. There is no more peace

It's just that the rumors that Yulia said have also been heard by many people present, and there are many versions in circulation, some of which are as Yulia said, although they are laughing and generous, but there are also some, but they are very good at satisfying the dark psychology of many people, and they are quite marketable.

In the past few days, Marina has frequently met privately with two Dragon City guards from Kyushu in her mansion, which is an unmistakable fact, and many people have seen it with their own eyes. It would be ridiculous to say that Marina was plotting something wrong—even if she did, she wouldn't be in the cathedral. But what about another reason? Like what...... I heard that those two Kyushu girls are beautiful. And the holy daughters of the Holy Light Sect are probably the group with the highest proportion of homosexuals in the mainland

The various rumors circulating today depict the scenes of several people meeting in private vividly and fascinatingly.

It's just that as a topic of conversation, Marina is naturally very angry, not angry at the damage to her reputation, but thinking that the communication bridge between herself and the Dragon City Guardians is likely to be broken...... Every time she thought about it, she couldn't suppress her anger.

After the assembly, she wanted to go back to the mansion to rest, but was called by Archbishop Rowan.

The archbishop has always been like a father to her, majestic and loving. Now that she was troubled, she really wanted comfort from the archbishop.

However, after meeting, Luo Wan's words made her fall into an ice cave.

"Marina, those two Kyushu girls, don't see each other again."

"For what?" Marina asked incredulously, "Your Excellency, have you believed those ridiculous rumors?" ”

"Of course I don't believe it, and no one really does. However, in the end, the impact is not good. ”

Marina hurriedly said: "Lord Bishop, Liuli Immortal and Bai Shixuan are the best candidates I have ever seen to be in harmony with the Holy Light, their qualifications are far superior to mine, and even the Supreme Holy Maiden of the Holy City may not be able to match them. It would be the biggest gain for the church in recent years to include them, and the last time we met, they had already expressed their desire to join the church."

Luo Wan sighed: "I know that the person who can make you value it so much and does not hesitate to meet many times must have something special." But some rumors have spread too widely. ”

"That's just a rumor," Marina argued indignantly, "why should you care about rumors?" ”

"Because rumors are powerful, many times, a person's success or failure often depends on the impact of one or two rumors," Luo Wan said solemnly, "You were personally promoted from the monastery by me, and I have high hopes for you."

Seeing that the archbishop was so solemn, Marina felt powerless, and after a while, she calmed down a little: "Then, just extinguish the rumors from the source, right?" Guess who's going to spread these rumors? Yulia? Judith? Kareda? There aren't too many people who know that I have a relationship with Bedwell......"

"Enough," Archbishop Rowan suddenly roared, "how can you be suspicious of your brothers and sisters with malice? ”

Marina: "But they ......"

"That's right, they believe rumors and spread rumors, they add fuel to the fire, they gloat, and they celebrate with a crown, which shows that they are not mature and still need to be constantly tempered. But you are a saint of the Church, and you cannot be of the same standard as them," Rowan criticized harshly, "and besides, the rumors were not spread by them. ”

"Who could that be?"

"Whoever it is, you don't need to care. Marina, your heart is already in turmoil, this is not what a saint should be"

Marina was silent for a while: "I'm sorry, my heart is really shaken. ”

"Go back and calm down, and may the Light be with you."

“…… Yes, Your Excellency. ”

This half a month has been an unprecedented torture. Marina suddenly felt like she had gone back a few years ago, when she had completely broken with Bedwell. It's also that kind of torment and pain.

In fact, there is not much contact with Liulixian and Bai Shixuan, and they have only met five times in total, and it has only taken more than two days to complete the fight, and it is impossible to really accumulate too deep feelings. His anger may come more from grievances and unwillingness.

Am I doing something wrong? For what...... Must you be so viciously suspicious of me and attack me? Why do you have nothing to do with me, and people who have no grievances will coax together? Why doesn't even the archbishop support me? What's wrong with this? Am I wrong, or is something else wrong?

"Mom, aren't you happy?"

The daughter came to Marina with a worried face, so that the woman could finally stretch her brow.

"Nothing." Marina touched her daughter's head with pity, "I'm not unhappy. ”

"Oh, Sister Liuli and they will be coming over in two days."

Two more days...... Is it? Marina looked up in a daze, and her heart throbbed again. In two days, it was time to say goodbye to them.

If there is no accident, those two smart and well-behaved little girls will become unforgettable memories of their long years.

At the same time, the mastermind behind the scenes in the Longcheng barracks was carefully studying a freshly baked newspaper and periodical, and his expression gradually became excited.

"Everything is ready, the east wind has arrived"

In the newspapers, the news about the attack of the heretical monks in Kyushu on the eastern church of the Holy Light Cult was printed on the front page.
