As soon as Qin Song turned around, he also found the clay figure, Monica's face turned red instantly, and the whole person became extremely nervous, fine hot sweat oozed from his forehead, and his fingers were mixed together.

Seeing her panicked appearance, Lia smiled and said softly, "Little girl, take it easy." In front of you is the wise man of the temple. ”

"I ...... I...... Not intentionally offensive to the gods. Monica lowered her head deeply, tears streaming down her eyes: "I know I'm not qualified, please, don't drive me away." We really don't have anywhere to go. ”

Not eligible?

Qin Song looked a little surprised: "Monica, who told you that you are not qualified?"

Liya also looked inexplicable.

Monica wiped her tears and said in a bitter tone: "Before, I used to want to ask for the Holy Spirit. But they all said that Alan and I were born evil and were not qualified to serve the god of light at all, and that any action would be an offense and blasphemy against the gods. ”

It is true that the Holy Spirit loves the rich and the poor. However, it seems that the people at the bottom can also believe in the Holy Spirit. Qin Song gave Liya a puzzled look.

Leah pondered for a while, then suddenly said, "Your name is Monica, right? What about your parents?"

At the mention of her parents, Monica seemed even more frightened, shaking her lips tightly and refusing to answer. Alan in the corner, his eyes shining through the weeds, full of horror.

"Monica, don't be afraid. We are not believers in the Holy Spirit, this is Blackstone Collar, a whole new world. No one will hurt you, I promise. Leah stroked Monica's shoulders as gently as possible, and gave Qin Song a look: "Qin, you come out." ”

The two of them walked out of the shack and found a place a little farther away. Leah lowered her voice and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Monica and the little boy's parents may have a relationship with the infidels. Or their parents are pagans themselves. In the church, pagan children are born filthy and wicked, and therefore they are not qualified to serve the Holy Spirit. I think that's why. ”

"That makes sense. Qin Song nodded, woe to the descendants, this Holy Spirit is indeed severe enough for heretics. However, the deterrent effect of this rule is indeed very powerful.

She might have thought that our God was like that. So, alas, what a pathetic brother and sister. ”

"Monica is not very old, and in this difficult environment, she can still never leave her brother, and she is a kind-hearted child. I don't think I need to be treated as a homeless person in the town anymore. At her age, she can go to Veronica's school. As for Alan, let's think of something else. ”

Due to the complexity of the identities of the displaced people in Daotan Town, many of them are unclear. The way the Blackstone Collar treats them, the first is control, the second is monitoring, and at the same time of the above two points, assign them some simple work.

There is no way, the incident of the spy has to be prevented.

"I'll arrange it. Leah nodded.

When she returned to the shack again, Monica went in early, hugging her brother Alan tightly, her thin little face full of begging for mercy.

Qin Song tidied up his gorgeous robes, and personally squatted down to look at the sisters and brothers: "Monica, Alan." In the name of the Wise Men of the Temple, I declare you eligible to become believers in the Temple of the Stars. ”

Monica couldn't seem to believe her ears, and her face was blank for a moment.

"Your Excellency the Wise is the spokesman of the gods. Monica, you are now a believer in the gods. Lia added that the brother and sister looked so pitiful.

"I ...... Really, really?" Monica swallowed.

Qin Song nodded solemnly: "In the eyes of our great gods, you and others are equal. As long as you believe and study and work hard, the gods will give you what you deserve. ”

Tears suddenly welled up in Monica's eyes, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.

Seeing that she was about to cry again, Qin Song hurriedly diverted the topic: "Can you tell me, where did you learn about our gods?"

Monica organized the language: "It was when I was in Blackstone Collar that I saw those prophecy tablets. The great God of the stars, more powerful than the Holy Spirit, would bless the poor slaves with adequate food and warm clothing. And send all those hateful villains to hell to be tortured. ”

This is the role of public opinion propaganda.

"Do you think it's true?"

"I ...... I do not know. Monica shook her head and whispered, "I've been asking the gods to bless my brother." It begins when you believe in the Holy Spirit. But...... But my brother was still bullied and tortured all the time. ”

Leah was amazed, "You used to believe in the Holy Spirit?"

Monica's face flushed instantly.

"Don't be afraid, we won't blame you. I used to be a believer in the Holy Spirit and a knight. But I see the hypocrisy of the Holy Spirit, so you can feel free to tell us boldly about your experience. "Leah didn't hide her past, which made it more likely that she would be closer and let Monica relax.

Moreover, Leah blinked mysteriously: "I am the lord here, and I assure you in the honor of nobility that you and Alan can have a better life." ”

A better life, apparently, has a huge attraction for Monica. She looked at Allen and finally gritted her teeth: "Our mother was executed when we were young. Alan and I were sold to the Archon's house. Later, I heard that the Holy Spirit of light can relieve the suffering of sentient beings and ascend to the kingdom of light after death. However, we are blasphemers and are not qualified to enter the church. Until one day, I ...... I picked up a cross in the yard and put it under my pillow. Prayer to the Holy Spirit is prayed every night. ...... since the age of five"

Liya and Qin Song glanced at each other, and it seemed that their mother should be a heretic, and when they were found and executed, they became blasphemers.

"And then?"

"I've always prayed for the Holy Spirit to let Alan and I get less beatings and more food. In this way, I have been believing for eight years. ”

For eight years, relying on a picked up cross, he secretly believed for eight years. Monica is perhaps the most disgraceful believer in the Holy Spirit.

"Do you think it would be useful?" asked Leah.

Monica glanced at Qin Song quickly, looking a little hesitant.

Qin Song's expression was a little solemn, and he clearly remembered that Monica had been tested at that time. The result was a failure, which he at one time thought was normal. Because not every girl is a witch, there are cases of failed verification.

There is one exception to this - if a believer believes in their gods at least 90%, the test will also be triggered.

A little girl, leaning on the cross she picked up, didn't know any scriptures, didn't know what to worship, but just held the most simple wishes, and believed for eight years!!

That's an incredible thing in itself!

"You believed it then, right?" Qin Song tried to make his tone as calm as possible.

Monica hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly: "Sometimes I will pick up bread in the kitchen, and I will thank the Holy Spirit for the gift. Sometimes Alan escaped a beating, and I would thank the Holy Spirit for protecting us. Sometimes a kind aunt helps me patch my clothes, and I will believe that this is the guidance of the Holy Spirit for her......"

Pick up a loaf of bread, dodge a beating, and patch it...... And then there's something that sounds so small. But when it happened to Monica, she attributed all this luck to the gift of the Holy Spirit, which became a kind of spiritual sustenance for her, a kind of psychological suggestion - whenever something good happens, it must be the result of prayer, the favor of the Holy Spirit.

This kind of subtly formed belief is not comparable to the priests in the church, nor to the knights who apologetic. But it is the most essential, the most simple, and the most heartfelt.

Even the most determined!

In Monica's pure understanding, the Holy Spirit is synonymous with goodness.

"Then what?" Qin Song's breathing was a little short, and he had a hunch that this little girl with a special background, a special experience, and who was once missed, also had the blood of a witch flowing in her body.

"Later, the consul's house caught fire. Speaking of which, Monica sneaked a glance at Leah, who had seen her among the servants who had escaped on the day of the fire.

"The consul is dead, and so is the steward. Everyone fled for their lives, and I carried Eren on my back and begged in the town. And then ...... I heard that the pastor in the church is the devil incarnate, and he deceived everyone and took their food. ”

"Soon, there will be less than a grain of grain left in the town. Some people say that Blackstone will give everyone food to survive this winter. I came here with Alan on my back. ”

"Do you still believe in the Holy Spirit? here, in Blackstone. The thought of such a scrawny little guy, carrying a disabled brother on his back, and wading through mountains and rivers in exile, Liya felt panicked in her heart.

She is a believer in the Holy Spirit, but why is her experience so miserable?

Such a simple girl.

I don't know how much suffering I have endured.

At the mention of Blackstone Collar, Monica's eyes suddenly lit up a little: "When we first came, a Master Karrick registered us. Seeing that my brother and I were pitiful, he arranged for us to live in the castle. Where the room is comfortable, there are few rats and cockroaches. There is also porridge to drink every day, and there are delicious cakes. ”

At the beginning, in order to put an end to the mole and the possibility of rioting, under Qin Song's instructions, women, old people and children were placed in the castle, and adult men all went to the mines.

"Master Karrick told us that it was a gift from the Temple of the Stars. At that time, I didn't know what the Temple of the Stars was, but I thought that the people in the Temple of the Stars were so good that they didn't have to work and had food. ”

Monica's face was filled with happiness.

However, Qin Song felt a little sad, just a bowl of porridge and a piece of cake, how much hardship and hunger did the city have to bring the standard of happiness to such a low level?

"Later, I heard from Master Karrick that he was going to recruit people who were quick with their hands and feet to do the cleaning work and take care of the food. I applied for a job and helped the aunts cook for the miners in the mine. There I saw the prophecy tablet......"
