Chapter 41: The Human Heart

"Pope, this ......"

In the sacrificial hall, Gu Ya stood silently on the side, while the cardinal endured his injuries and stopped talking.

The old pope's name is Calando, who is now seventy years old, joined the Council at the age of eleven, went through the knights and the Inquisition in the first thirty years, and became an archbishop and cardinal due to injury in the last thirty years, and finally became the pope of this generation, which is indeed a legend.

At this time, he had long since lost the decisiveness of the year, his long white beard hung down to his chest, and only kindness and kindness remained in his eyes.

Carlando looked at Alena, who was unconscious on the stone platform, and there was no expression on her old face, and she was silent for a while, and the cardinal saw that he did not speak, and did not dare to ask too much.

A short time later, Callando took two steps forward, gently reached out his hand, and stroked Alena's forehead, but stopped only a centimeter away.

The cardinal's eyes condensed slightly, and he saw only that around Alena's body, a shimmering film of light blocked Carlando.

As if sensing something, Carlando withdrew his old palm, and suddenly the old tears were rampant, his right hand touched his chest, and he bowed gently towards Alena, with a hint of choking in his voice:

"The God of Light is above, He hears our prayers, five hundred years ago, Five hundred years after the Church of Light was founded, and once again the gods have heard the voices of His people. ”

As he spoke, Calando held the battle in his right hand and tapped the ground, the old injury of his youth made his left leg a little inconvenient, but he refused the cardinal's support, and slowly knelt down on one knee, tears falling to the ground one by one.

"With the God of Light above, your devout believers will follow your will, spread your radiance, and let your will walk in the world as if it were in the kingdom of God, for which I will dedicate all my life. ”

"The God of Light is ......"

"The God of Light is ......"

Seeing this, Gu Ya and the cardinal on the side also knelt on one knee, touched their chests with their right hands, and said solemnly and reverently.

After a while, Carlando slowly got up with the cardinal's support, and the old wound on his left leg was a little painful from the long bending.

"Pope ......"

Calando interrupted with a wave of his hand, and he seemed to be able to see the figure in his eyes:

"This matter is the top secret in the church, only you and I know about it, if it is ......a rumor," the scepter in Carando's hand slammed the ground hard, "It's like an apostasy, the ends of the earth, and the Inquisition will deal with it according to the law." ”

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"That'...... Pope, what next?" the cardinal asked, trying.

Carlando was silent for a while, and then spoke: "Half a month later, let Alena go to Honoris with the exchange group." ”

"The Pope is not ......," said the cardinal, surprised.

At this moment, before Calando could explain, Alena on the stone platform woke up in a daze, rubbed her eyes, and looked around innocently.

"Quaint Sacrifice!Lord...... Bishop...... Teach...... Your Excellency the Pope. Alena jumped down from the stone platform in a panic, and was about to kneel and salute.

But halfway through, he was stopped by Carando: "Child, it doesn't have to be like this, the light doesn't have to bow to anyone." ”

There was a hint of panic in Alena's innocent eyes, but she was quickly soothed by Calando.

"Light ...... Light?"

"You'll understand" Calando suddenly returned to his amiable state, enduring the pain in his leg, and gently took Alena's little hand.

At that moment, a faint glow spread from Alena's palm, covering Callando's hands over his legs.

A warm feeling flashed away, Carlando was stunned, moved his left leg incredibly, held back tears, and turned to look at the cardinal:

"You see, what's not to do? The light has never left us. ”

....................................

On the first floor of the Moon Palace, the dizzy Cassia put down his pen and exhaled heavily, the amount of design of the magician system was simply outrageous, even with his patience, he couldn't help but feel a little headache.

Cassia closed his notebook and dodged to the edge of the crystal ball moon, looking at the earth below.

Half a month has passed since Alena's awakening, and at this time, the Church of Light is holding a send-off dinner for them, and Cassia knows that most of this should be for Alena's sake.

In addition, the Pope named Calando is indeed very interesting, let a person like Alena not protect well, and actually send him to the territory of the pagan religion to communicate.

"Church of the Aeolus...... Matt ......" Cassia muttered to himself, then shook his head, "Whew...... After doing homework for so long, it's time to go out and take a vacation. ”

As the voice fell, Cassia's figure slowly disappeared.

....................................

"Alena, two days ahead is the Rider Grand Canyon, I heard that the soil there is red, all the blood left over from the war. Sophia pouted.

"Don't be afraid of Sophia, we're going to the Aeolus Church this time, isn't it as dangerous as the Frost Grand Canyon? ”

Alena comforted Sophia as she threw firewood into the fire.

They had been away from Tria for three days, and they had been on the road during the day, and if they had not reached the town at night, they would have to sleep in the wilderness as they are now.

Alena didn't know exactly what happened that day, but the Pope's attitude towards her still made her honestly afraid, and at the same time, she also realized that she seemed to have some special abilities, and there were many things in her mind that she didn't understand.

"Thank you to the God of Light for the gift. Alena prayed, knowing that it was all a gift from the god of light, perhaps because of the dream of that night.

"I was able to see with my own eyes the crown of the god of light, even if it was just a back...... Well, you must not live up to the trust of the gods, but when you come back from Honoris, why don't you bring your father to the city first?'s mother died there......" Alena thought silently.

The fire crackled, and the maidens had their own thoughts, but Sophia wondered when the hare would be cooked.

"Ah......h

Suddenly, under the silent night sky, a terrible scream was heard in the forest not far away.

The girls of the trainee priest were startled and startled, while the boys of the trainee knights subconsciously held the long sword in their hands, but the horror in their eyes could not be concealed.

The Paladins were in charge of escorting the boys and girls from the Church Headquarters, and according to the rules, this force would only be dispatched if the enemy had already reached the city of Tria, but under the Pope's orders, a part of it was sent to Honoris.

This time the leader of the team was a deputy regiment commander who was in the prime of life and had made great achievements, and he had only been transferred from the branch to the headquarters the year before last, although he did not understand what the Pope meant, but it was his duty to obey orders.

The mournful shouting continued, and the deputy head of the regiment hurriedly ordered most of the men to pacify them and surround them to ensure safety.

He alone and a few of his cronies poked towards the place where the sound came from.

If something happens to these newcomers, not only will they lose face, but the Pope's death order will not be easy to explain.

"Commander, do you want to call a few more brothers. ”

"No, I don't. ”

The Deputy Master rejected his men's offer, as only he knew that while the team that was ostensibly escorting was only their Paladin, in reality, the Inquisition personnel had been secretly following.

The group of heroes who were willing to fall into darkness in order to serve the light have always been admired by the deputy commander, and since they have not issued warnings, there should not be any great danger.

The deputy commander and his men approached the forest little by little, and were about to enter the woods, when the screaming stopped abruptly, and the sound of running got closer and closer.

"Prepare for war!" the deputy commander snorted, drew the heavy sword at his waist, and stared at the depths of the forest.

Suddenly, a figure staggered out of the woods, covered in blood and scars, and shouted as it ran: "Help!

Then I saw behind him, a fierce wind tiger was running towards him quickly.

The figure had already run to the side of the deputy head of the regiment, and fell to the ground at once, clutching his legs tightly:

"Please, save me, for the sake of the god of light, please. ”

The deputy head of the regiment narrowed his eyes slightly, shook the figure open with his legs, and said in a deep voice: "It's the crown of the god of light." After saying that, the deputy head of the regiment dragged his heavy sword with both hands and galloped towards the evil tiger.

Bending his knees, bowing down, and leaning back, the heavy sword slashed through a wonderful arc, and the belly of the evil tiger was sliced open by a sword, and blood and internal organs were sprinkled on the ground behind the deputy commander.

The deputy head of the regiment put away his heavy sword, as if he had done a trivial thing, and paced to the young man lying on the ground.

"What's your name and why are you here. ”

"I ...... My name is Mingjue, a native of Tria, and I'm going to visit my teacher in Honoris. ”

"Mingjue...... Good name, you can go. The deputy head of the regiment said and was about to turn and leave.

And Ming Jue stood up and followed: "Please, let me follow you for a while, there are still many fierce beasts and bandits in front of me, I can't live alone......"

The deputy head of the regiment turned his head, and his eyes suddenly looked like a tiger: "Get out!"

"Lord Slom, let him follow us for a while. ”

A voice rang out, and Alena and Sophia, along with the other trainee priests, came to the vicinity under the protection of the knights.

The accompanying knights also had a headache, those teenagers trained with them, naturally they didn't dare to disobey their orders, but these girls were not a system, and they couldn't stop it, and the knightly precepts didn't allow them to do anything to women.

"No, this man is unknown and cannot accompany him, and saving his life is already following God's teachings. Slum said in a deep voice.

At this time, Alena stepped forward: "Since he is a native of Kaiadir, he is a citizen of the God of Light, and he deserves to be protected. ”

"That's not going to work either. Slum shook his head.

"Then we're not leaving!" Sophia jumped out boldly, waving her little fist.

"Yes, we're not leaving!"

"I'm not leaving!"

Listening to the shouts of the girls, Silom frowned slightly, and fell into thinking for a while.

Alena, on the other hand, ignored Slom, ran to Mingjue's side in small steps, gently held his hands, and a strange power transmitted over, alleviating his injuries.

"What's your name?"

"Ming...... Mingjue. ”
