Edward had always been curious about one thing.

The priesthood is not something that ordinary people can carry, and it is even more so that faith becomes a god.

If any ordinary person can carry the priesthood, then the gods on the side of Sibia are too cheap.

So, Edward wondered, is there anyone on Emmen's side who can carry the priesthood?

Everyone who can carry the priesthood is undoubtedly an extraordinary person, either with great feats, favored by the world, or with great strength, tempered with a strong body, or with extraordinary legends, and a mythical person himself!

Who can carry the priesthood in Emmen? Edward was curious about this, Claudia, a strange woman who looked fierce?

Forgive Edward bluntly, Claudia's body is indeed amazingly strong for ordinary people, but, in Edward's eyes, Claudia is still an ordinary person, a child, and she is still far from the most basic requirements for the body that carries the priesthood!

Emmen wants to make gods, but he doesn't just become a god by a random person, even if he is a poor god who is not treated well.

Edward enumerated in his mind the requirements of the impoverished priesthood.

The first, the most secure one, is a strong person who has reached the demigod rank, and the body of such a strong person has been polished and the foundation of the gods has been forged.

Second, those who have the great merit of saving the world, who are attached to the world, are able to carry the priesthood under the protection of the world, but Edward is not sure if this method can be accomplished, because ...... Emmen's side is shaping the priesthood of poverty, and Edward fears that the protector who is attached to the world may conflict with the priesthood of poverty, and if he is not careful, Emmen's thousand-year-old efforts may come to naught.

The third type, the poor person, is not a poor person in the general sense, but the kind that has been poor for more than ten lifetimes, it is best to be a long-lived person, who has experienced poverty for thousands of years, this kind of person needless to say, he is born to fit the poverty priesthood, he will be the beloved person of the poverty priesthood, and it is natural for him to become the god of poverty by poverty.

Fourth, the legendary race, the best example of which is the island turtle who sent Edward and them to Emmen, who is destined for an extraordinary future, and that is one of the legendary races. Legend race, their existence is revered by countless people, born with a certain power of faith, it can be said that this kind of people are an excellent backup when the belief in God changes, is a high-quality "spare tire" to carry the priesthood.

Fifth, the Sage...... Being a god in his own right, as long as it is not a conflicting priesthood against each other, adding an additional priesthood is not a lot of pressure for this kind of being, but it is clear that it is impossible for Emon to let a sage pick peaches and take away their thousands of years of hard work.

It is now certain that the first and fifth types of bearers are impossible, and the second is very dangerous, but judging from the current state of Emmen, if such a person is born in Emmen, the half-crazy Emmen higher-ups may list the second type of bearer as an alternative.

In Edward's view, the third and fourth types of priesthood bearers were the most likely choice for Emmen.

Then, in the royal city of Emmen, in the gardens of the castle of the palace of Emmen, Edward saw the suspected priesthood!

It was a girl, a skinny girl with withered blonde hair.

The girl was plainly dressed, living in the palace, but there were still a few patches on her gray-white dress, which contrasted sharply with the brightly dressed maid standing in the distance.

In the garden, after arriving at the royal city and saying goodbye to Count Byrne and Claudia, Edward, who used the means of demon hunters to reduce his sense of existence and broke into the garden of the palace, silently looked at the girl who suddenly saw him.

It was a pair of sapphire eyes, the color was a little gloomy, and from these lifeless swollen eyes, Edward saw a lot of things, but the most, it was loneliness!

“…… The endangered eternal race, the people of Ishubella," Edward looked surprised.

Out of curiosity, Edward commissioned his assistant to conduct a brief search of the legendary race of Sibia, and it was because of this that Edward learned about one of the legendary races, the "Eternals" Ishubella.

The Ishubella people, the race is the human race, but unlike the general human race, once the people of this race reach adulthood, their "age" will be fixed, they are eternal people, and the years are just years for them, they are not bound by lifespan, they are immortal and immortal - only the killed Ishubella people, there are no old and dead Ishubella people.

"Ishupella is still alive? Didn't the records say that the people of this clan had been destroyed along with the ancient wood elves? Erased from history by the legendary evil dragon god. ”

The remnant of Ishupella, the maiden just stared at Edward with her gray eyes.

The girl looked at Edward for a long time, and then her originally dim eyes gradually appeared to be bright.

The girl opened her mouth, but only to make a "hiss" sound, and after a long time, the girl seemed to have learned to speak again, looked at Edward and stammered, "Nest, I'm on Ni, Nissen, look, see...... Eternity! ”

It's like the ability to adapt to speech, and the last two words of the girl are more clear and accurate.

"You—Are you here to accompany me?" After a passage, the girl's Sibian lingua franca became fluent.

Edward glanced at the brightly dressed maid standing behind the girl in the distance, and after a moment of silence, Edward beckoned gently, and a faint milky white light permeated Edward and the remnants of Ishbela, using the power of the witcher, Edward reduced the presence of him and the girl of Ishabella.

"So, you're the bearer of the priesthood that Emmen is creating?" Although Edward used a questioning tone, Edward already had the answer in his heart.

The girl exudes a little bit of poverty, and it can be seen that this is deliberately cultivated!

The girl is the priesthood bearer prepared by Emmen, the future goddess Emmen, the bearer of the impoverished priesthood!

"I'm so lonely, I'm so lonely, stay with me, okay? You are the same as me, you have an eternal breath in you, be friends with me, please, I don't want to be alone, I'm so lonely! Looking at Edward, the girl's face was covered with big tears.

Edward calmly looked at the girl who walked in front of him, stretched out his hands and clenched his robe tightly, Edward looked at each other silently, after a long time, after Edward felt that the other party's excitement eased slightly, Edward spoke: "Who are you?" ”

Edward's voice was soft and soft, because the girl's mental condition was obviously not quite right, Edward did not dare to speak to the other party in a normal tone, for fear of disturbing the other party's already fragile spirit.

"Me? I am...... I am...... I, by the way, I'm Cynthia, a native of Ishubella, the highest priest of Hela! ”

The girl thought for a long time.

Hela? Edward's pupils shrank slightly, the name "Hela" in Emmen is not ordinary, because ...... The most famous owner of this name is none other than the original goddess of Emmen, the goddess who loved the land of Emmen!

"Hela saved me, and then, then Hela died, and then I became alone again, I was so afraid, I was so afraid, many, many people died, my friends and they all died, Hela also died, I became a person, I was so lonely, I didn't want to be alone, you ...... You! Would you like to be my friend? Please! ”

The girl pleaded in a crying voice.

Edward raised his hand to gently brush the girl's rolling tears, Edward showed a gentle smile, and said, "Friends are not begged, but I can stay with you for a while, and I hope we can become friends." ”
