City of Innocence, 233 Old Oak Street, Mia Church.

The pious old John was kneeling before the idol of the goddess Mia and prayed in a low voice:

"O Supreme Goddess, I always remember your teachings and treat those around me kindly, positively, and cheerfully."

"Baron House, however, has taken a fancy to my only possession and wants to take it for himself."

"This is the last thing I rely on for my livelihood."

"But he took my only son and used it as a threat."

"I've approached the sheriff, and they won't offend a baron for the sake of an ordinary farmer..."

"What's more, his distant nephew is also an incomparably noble mage..."

"Goddess, if you can hear my voice, pray that you will stop this!"

He babbled on and on for a long time, until his knees were numb, and then he struggled to his feet.

Turning his head again, he said to a young man who had been standing silently beside the statue of the goddess from beginning to end:

"My prayer is over, thank you, Pastor Gallo."

Pastor Gallo looked very kind-faced, with a warm smile on his face all the time.

Old John had the impression that he seemed to be smiling forever.

is obviously very young, but his behavior is mature and steady, and he is humble and polite in dealing with others.

"The Goddess hears the prayers of every believer."

Pastor Gallo said, as always.

Old John smiled bitterly, reluctantly took out a few copper coins from his bosom, and walked to the offering box under the idol.

He first threw three copper coins into the offering box, hesitated for a moment, and then threw another one in.

"I'm sorry, Pastor Gallo, in order to save my son, the family used all the money to hire mercenaries, but they disappeared the next day..."

"This is the last money I have on me, it's not very clean, I don't dare to offer it to the goddess..."

"I'm afraid it's not religious..."

He spread out his calloused hands, and all that was left was the last dirty copper coin.

Pastor Gallo still smiled and comforted:

"Faith should not be measured by money."

"Uncle John, you are the most devout believer I have ever met."

Old John shook his head with a wry smile and asked interferingly:

"But will the goddess hear me? Will there be divine punishment on the wicked? ”

Pastor Gallo shook his head fairly directly and explained:

"Uncle, you are familiar with the canon, you should also know..."

"Our goddess, who has all the talent and treatment, is a wet nurse, how can there be any divine punishment?"

Old John was stunned...

The Gallo priest is religious, but sometimes he always speaks strange things...

After a long while, he said embarrassedly:

"I have overpassed, and I hope that the Goddess will forgive me for my sins..."

Pastor Gallo nodded and comforted:

"Don't worry, Goddess, He has always been very talkative."

"He hath said, In the time of glory, be kind to others, be humble and discreet..."

This is the core doctrine of the Miya sect, and it is written directly on the cover of the canon.

Old John, of course, also knew, and hurriedly followed up with the second half of the doctrine:

"In the darkness of the night, repentance and forget strife."

Finally, the two said in unison:

"Praise be to the Goddess!"

After sending off Old John, Gallo looked at his staggering back and whispered:

"Uncle John is so pathetic..."

"He's one of the few devout believers we have..."

As he spoke, he looked back at the offering box, which contained only the pitiful four copper coins.

"It's not just that Mr. John is working hard, but we're almost out of the pot."

"If this continues, the old bishop and I will have to eat dirt next month..."

He looked out the window at the beautiful scenery of the sunset and knew that there should be no believers coming today.

He closed the door and began to clean.

The church is small, not much larger than an ordinary house, and it is not a task to clean.

But by the time he had carefully cleaned the church, it was already dark.

Gallo turned and walked up to the clergy quarters on the second floor, where he sat down at his desk and read a quaint old book.

It was almost time to go to bed when he closed his book and walked to the window.

Looking at the bright moon outside, he muttered in a low voice:

"At this time, people should be repenting and confessing, right?"

"But there are some people who need me to help him..."

With that, he took off his old patched robes and untied the heavy lumps of lead wrapped around his hands, feet, chest, and abdomen.

He took out a black stand-up collar robe from the closet.

The robes were embroidered with large swaths of blood-colored red clouds.

Finally, he also wore a white mask on his face.

Above is a circle of mosquito coils, revealing only the deep black eyes behind them.

With this outfit, Gallo looks like he is behind some evil force.

He pushed open the window, jumped out of it, and like a nimble cheetah, he made his way through the streets of the City of Innocence towards Baron House's estate.

It was quiet in Baron House's estate.

Two guards guarding the door were dozing.

Gallo leaped over the courtyard wall and continued to advance deeper into the manor.

It was easy to get to the door of Baron House's bedroom.

No one found him along the way.

After all, the other party is only a baron, and he lives in a big city like the City of Innocence, which is known for its safety, and there are not many guards around.

Gallo kicked the door open and walked inside.

Baron House jerked out of bed, his eyes widening.

"You.. Who are you?! ”

He looked at this strange figure bathed in the moonlight, and seemed to remember something...

"This mask... Are you the one..."

His pupils narrowed suddenly, and he remembered the terrifying legend.

He quickly jumped up from the bed and crawled to escape.

"Help... Help me! ”

"Don't be afraid, I'm here to help you repent and confess."

Gallo said warmly, raised his right hand, pointed at each other from afar, and gestured seemingly casually.

The mouth is still taking care of himself:

"After repentance, you will be able to forget about your feud with Uncle John."

His words seemed to have a magical power, and Baron House actually fell silent.

But in the next second, his head exploded, dyeing the surroundings scarlet...

And his body is just fixed in a kneeling posture...

It looks like kneeling in a pool of blood to repent and confess.

"Alas... I really just want to help you repent, and I deliberately used the least powerful magic technique..."

"But why are you still dead?"

"It seems... You know that you have sinned so much that you have no shame to live in the world..."

"I didn't think you were quite conscious..."

Gallo muttered under his breath, leaped out of the window, and disappeared into the moonlight.

Although there are no dazzling and exaggerated special effects in the whole process.

But what Gallo is using is a real magic spell.

Only the most devout of the priesthood can perform it.

Gallo has always been a strict follower of the teachings, and naturally he is extremely religious.

It's just that he has some understanding of the doctrine of his own.

When it is glorious, be kind to others, be humble and prudent.

Therefore, during the day, he is submissive and kind to others everywhere.

In the darkness of the night, repentance and forget the strife.

Therefore, at night he struck hard and helped people repent and confess.
