"Elena is also a junior sergeant, won't you help her plead?" Bodrian Arthur gave Joyce a rare smile and teased Joyce.

"I'm not embarrassed. ”

Joyce glanced at the withered gastrodia and pretended to be embarrassed.

"Go back and wait, I'll ask Yarlin to fill out the promotion form for you and send it, just sign it and put your fingerprint on it. Bodan Arthur waved his hand, indicating that he did not welcome Joyce.

"Thank you, Director. ”

Joyce thanked him and left Bodan Arthur's office.

It is Joyce's exclamation after leaving, as long as the courtesy is received, the work can be much easier, this is the shortcut for people who have no family background.

Bodrian Arthur's statement apparently also brought Elena, and Joyce estimated that both men would be able to mention the mid-level sergeant.

"Further up there are senior sergeants, staff sergeants, sergeant majors, command sergeants, and chief sergeants, and Captain Bazel has now jumped out of the ranks of soldiers, to captains, officers, and commissioners to the rank of colonels. Joyce returned to the reception with mixed feelings.

"There may be some opportunities for our military promotion. Without waiting for Elena to ask, Joyce revealed to her.

Hearing Joyce's statement, even if he didn't explain, Elena could think that he had given away the dry essence gastrodia.

On the second floor of the reception, in the Einsatzgruppen break, Joyce saw Elvin Jarvis playing billiards.

"Mr. Erwin, shall I take that little girl to the Church of Radiance?" Joyce pleaded with the youth in a low voice.

"Yes, it's mainly the little girl's father, who doesn't have much weight to speak when he comes to the church, he is still a believer in the Earth Goddess Church, no one follows, I can't do it as my own business. The young man nodded and gave an explanation.

"Thank you for your kindness, if there is anything I can do to help in the future, I will do my best. Joyce bowed to the youth.

"Let's go now, and practice ritual secrets in the Radiant Church, preferably in the morning when the sun is at its peak. The young man in the dress put on his coat and accepted Joyce's promise.

Joyce secretly sighed in his heart that he was not in the right position, he was not capable or qualified to do such a good deed, and it was quite torturous to send a kindness alone.

"Mr. Borg, you take the child, this is Mr. Erwin, and the good man who gives the child a chance. Descending to the first floor, Joyce summoned the apprehensive man, more often holding Erwin Jarvis.

"Thank you......"

Borg Zinedin was dressed in cloth and didn't speak much, so he could only thank him again and again.

"I'll go to the Radiant Church first, so let's go together. ”

Even though Borg's cloth was clean, Erwin couldn't stand the smell of fish.

"I still have some things to do, I have to walk around the Prisoner Street and the underground market, try to find a guard, stabilize the potion and restore the potion to buy, and steal the body of the old mechanic. Find the cab, Joyce thought to herself.

Actually, Joyce wanted to go to the insane asylum, where there was the underground prison of the MID, where the body of the old mechanic was stored, but the elder Bolton did not mention it.

As for practicing shooting and fighting, Joyce pressed the two down in advance, thinking that spring training could be done together.

"This Elwin is really hard to get along with. ”

As the carriage reached Moya, Joyce muttered to herself.

As a church that supports each other with the Lawson Empire, the Church of the Radiant God and the Church of the Goddess of Life are co-located in Moya, while the Church of the Machine is in the Bijöhan District.

"The two major churches are in Moya District, so I don't know if there is a sense of checks and balances. Joyce didn't know much about the Church of the Twelve Lords, and thought silently.

The fountain of St. Mo Bay, even in winter, is still erupting with crystal droplets, and the surrounding sea of wattle flowers is blooming.

In the transpiring mist white air, the magnificent buildings that continue to be in patches bring people a sense of holiness.

Arriving outside the fountain square and getting out of the carriage, Joyce rolled up his trouser legs and took off his shoes and socks under the arrangement of Elwin, who was waiting, and walked on the rocky ground with warm flowing water, receiving the baptism of the fountain's holy water.

"With the exception of the Radiant Knights, shoes are not allowed in the Radiant Plaza. Erwin reminded Joyce.

Even though Joyce knew that some temples on Earth were not allowed to enter without shoes, walking around barefoot at this time still gave him a strange feeling.

"It doesn't contag beriberi, does it?"

Joyce had no reverence for the gods in his heart, and he was not very comfortable with unscrupulous slander.

Unlike the Church of the Goddess of Life, the square of the Church of Radiance is patrolled by knights in shiny armor, giving people a sense of sacred oppression.

Entering the Glorious Chapel built by the White Jade, Erwin first spoke a few words to a young apprentice priest before being guided to the side halls.

Whether in the square or in the church, Joyce can feel the warmth with his bare feet, because St. Mo's Bay is the spa area of the city of Rensu, which has a geothermal relationship.

"It's a pity that it's not earth fire, and it can't be alchemy. ”

Joyce entered the side hall and sighed with emotion, and he had already seen an old deacon of the Radiant Church.

"Erwin, are you okay in the military?"

The white-bearded old man, who obviously knew Erwin, asked him with a smile.

"Blessed by the god of radiance. ”

Erwin drew a circle of the sun on his chest and said words of gratitude.

"Deacon Alonzo, Joyce of our MI Special Operations Team, has come to ask the Church to come to the rescue of this little girl. After greeting the old man, Erwin explained his intentions.

"Are you Joyce? It's only been a time since I've heard your name, and it's the first time I've seen you. The white-bearded deacon looked at Joyce with a smile, and his eyes were drawn to the little girl whose fingers were like chicken feet.

"Dear Deacon Alonzo, Hello. ”

Joyce didn't want others to know about it, so he bowed to the white-bearded old man.

"This child is congenitally deficient, and if he wants to be cured, he needs to use ritual secret methods. Deacon Whitebeard was a little embarrassed, but he didn't refuse.

"If the child's congenital deficiency is cured, the only way to let her stay in the church is to let her believe in the God of Radiance and serve the God of Radiance for the rest of her life. Joyce's expression moved, and he signaled that the child's family was poor and that there was nothing to handle.

"No, I can't. ”

Without waiting for the white-bearded old man to speak, Borg, who was leading the little girl, refused as if he was frightened.

If he could, Joyce would have been eager to go up and punch the man, and he would have been stupid, but the impact would probably have been the life of the little girl.

But there are indeed such people in the world, who see that things are about to have a good outcome, but they mess things up at this important juncture.

"Since this gentleman is unwilling, it is better to bring the child back, and besides, the secret method of the Radiance Ritual may not be able to cure the child. The white-bearded old man refused with a smile on his face.

"Deacon Alonzo, I beg you to wait a little longer, the father of this child does not understand anything, and I will speak to him again. Joyce hurriedly pleaded, since he had come to the Church of Radiance, he naturally hoped that the little girl would have a good outcome.

"You idiot, what nonsense, what's wrong with letting your daughter serve the God of Radiance, do you want to see her continue like this?" In Joyce's mind, it was a great thing to be a servant of God in the church, with food and shelter, and the future was bright.

This little girl is not in the same situation as Elena, there is nothing to worry about, and at such a young age into the arms of the god of radiance, there may be a great development in the future, after all, there are still many people on the street who cannot eat.

"No, I can't let my daughter go away from me, Mr. Joyce, thank you for your help, I have to take my daughter back. Borg's fear of Vino was extremely resolute.

"I don't want to see you again. ”

Joyce's eyes narrowed slightly, his fists clenched, and he even wanted to kill Borg on the spot, but he was the father of the little girl.

Sensing Joyce's anger, Borg lowered his head.

"Deacon Alonzo, I'm here to apologize for my lack of consideration!" Joyce turned to the old man and apologized, trying to stabilize his emotions.

"It's not uncommon for reality to be less beautiful than imagined, Mr. Joyce is a believer in the Church of the Goddess of Life, right?" said the white-bearded old man as he observed Joyce and smiled.

In such a sensitive matter, Joyce could only respond with an embarrassed smile, not daring to make too many promises.

Before leaving, Erwin donated five bills in the denomination of ten gold in the offering box of the Glorious Church, which made Joyce even more angry.

"Mr. Erwin, do you have a good idea?"

Out of Radiance Square, Joyce put on her socks and shoes, and asked the gentlemanly young man stubbornly.

"Joyce, Elena asked me to bring this girl to the Church of Radiance, and I helped, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this, do you think I'm a joke?" the young man asked Joyce with a smile.

"I blame me for this matter, I didn't communicate with the child's father in advance, so there would be an embarrassing scene, but the child is still young, she is innocent, please Mr. Erwin for the sake of the child, and then help think of a way." Joyce pleaded with the young man.

"The poor people in Lunsu City are not only this family, I believe you regret it now. Erwin smiled and got into the waiting carriage.

Joyce did regret it, he was now just aiming for the idea of the good guy to do it to the end and send the Buddha to the west.

Watching Erwin leave in the carriage, Joyce didn't know who to beg for.

"Mr. Joyce......"

Borg looked overwhelmed when he saw that Joyce's rolled up trouser leg had not been lowered.

"Go back, I really can't help it, if you figure it out one day, you can bring your child to the Radiant Church and try to ask for it again. Joyce sighed, put the father and daughter in the carriage, and paid for the carriage.

"Damn, I'm still too weak. ”

Joyce wanted to scold Borg, knowing what he had done, but he didn't say it.

In the cold weather, Joyce walked alone on the street, trying to let the cold wind dispel the frustration in his heart.

Leaving St. Mo's Bay, Joyce unknowingly walked to Taya University.

Looking at the huge main entrance of the academy, Joyce was stunned at first, for him, this academy only existed in his memory.

"In the future, don't be self-righteous and want to pretend to be a good person. Joyce, who came back to her senses, smiled, and her mood relaxed a lot.

The old students graduated, and Taya University was also on vacation, except for the guardhouse, there was no one to see at the gate, and it looked very deserted.

"Joyce?"

A female voice with an uncertain meaning sounded behind Joyce.

Joyce turned to see a young girl in a woolly collared tweed coat and a white scarf hat not far away, staring in this direction.
