Chapter 193: The Church's Invitation
Jonny buried her face deeper, revealing only one eye to look at the smiling Annabelle, "Did you hear it all?" ”
"Probably a guess, but it's easy to guess what you look like right now." Annabelle said in a childlike tone, reaching out to Joni's face.
She still has a good impression of Joni, when she was in Pietta, this child also had a good time protecting her brother by Li Fang's side, and under the frequent contact these days, Annabelle has felt that under this face that usually looks cold when she doesn't speak, there is actually a heart that needs to be relied on very much.
In the years when I thought I could only live alone, I was fed up with loneliness.
Joni tilted her head, not letting Annabelle's fingers touch her, because she felt a lot of eyes and a shy look on her face, and finally let go of the hand that was holding Li Fang's arm.
"It's okay, Anna will also be your family in the future." Seeing Anna getting close to Joni, Li Fang was secretly a little moved...... They are the people they need to take care of and protect the most in this world.
Li Fang reached out and grabbed Joni's back, pressed her back back after taking a step back, noticed the smile on the corner of Annabelle's eyes, and took her into his arms. The two women did not refuse this moment, in the crook of his arm, against his chest, which made Li Fang feel extremely satisfied at this moment.
"What are you doing! So many people. Annabelle looked around, and quietly removed her back arm. Joni also recovered from her surprise and pushed her brother away, the blood on her cheeks became more obvious, but she also nodded lowly, in response to Li Fang's words.
Since they really have that kind of relationship, Sister Anna can be regarded as family......
Beside him, Divi elbowed Helen and motioned for her not to keep looking over there.
"Ah, what an enviable fellow." Helen looked back and sighed in a low voice.
Divi nodded in agreement, and said, "Humans, warriors, and the Awoken...... I still haven't gotten used to them being together. However, the kind of ability that Li Fang has is the fundamental reason for realizing this kind of situation that he would never dream of, and this is the only case, so there is no need to be too envious. ”
Helen turned her head in a little surprise, "It's not Li Fang, well, I'm actually a little envious of Joni." ”
"As a half-human, half-demon warrior, it's really lucky to have a family......"
"Then, do you remember the location of your hometown," Divi said with a blank face, "If you are really envious, just talk to Miriya about going back and seeing, if you can still find relatives, maybe you can look forward to a little bit, and you will still be accepted like Cousin Joni." ”
"You can do this without the constraints of the organization," Helen was moved by Divi's words, tilted her head and nodded her cheek, but quickly reacted and looked at Divi with suspicion, and quipped, "Your hometown is also in the West, do you want to go back and come back to pull me?" ”
Without waiting for Divi to answer, she shook her head first and said: "No, now our situation is not stable, and we know with our toes that even if we go back, we can only look at it from a distance, so it is better to think about improving our strength if we have this time, right?" ”
Devy didn't answer, his eyes looked at the ongoing competition in the field, and his extremely expressionless face couldn't see the slightest thought. And Helen curled the corners of her mouth, she was used to Divi's acquiescence of not speaking.
……
There are only 33 swordsmen in total, and not everyone has to fight, so they ended this competition before noon, and those who didn't play at least saw the way others fought completely, which should also help.
Li Fang saw that Miriya managed this place very well, and he also seized the time to improve his overall strength as much as possible, so he was very relieved, and after saying a few words, he planned to return to Rapoll with Annabelle and Lajuana.
But before he had gone a few steps, he saw Yuma, who was supposed to be at the entrance of the village, hurrying over with a man, followed by an ox cart full of things.
"Priest Vincent, are you here today?" Claire asked.
"Of course, on behalf of the church, I will send you supplies, and this little thing." Priest Vincent took out a token-like piece of wood from his bosom, which had a rope thread running through it, which was easy to carry.
"With this pass, you can enter and exit Rapoll freely as long as you cover up a little bit of the characteristics that are different from ordinary people, and the soldiers on duty have already accounted for it." The smiling and kind priest Vincent took a bag of things from the servant who drove the car and handed it to Miriya, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes revealing his old age, "This is what the archbishop meant, he thinks that although your body has been transformed into a half-human and half-demon, you are willing to come to protect this city, which is enough to prove that your soul still belongs to the human side and should be trusted by us." And Claire has changed our impression of the Great Sword a lot before, and this time you have been accepted smoothly for this reason. ”
"So please take these things, although it is difficult to change people's old perceptions, but the church has decided to try to start the people to know the real you, and I look forward to seeing you in the streets of Rapoll one day."
These words set off a lot of waves among the big swordsmen. Many people were surprised to see for the first time that ordinary people had such great kindness towards them, and regarded them as human beings, rather than ominous weapons hired to clean up demons.
"Thanks to the kindness of the church, we accepted it with a cheeky face." Miria took the package full of passes and replied solemnly: "We will definitely live up to this recognition that Rabaule gave us today!" ”
As a leader, she sees the church's relationship with them more deeply, like a tacit pact, the church gives them more at this time, and needs them more.
Hopefully, this rare kindness will be maintained.
Priest Vincent nodded with a pleased smile and said, "We have sent a messenger to spread the news that the church has the power to exterminate demons to the nearby monastery, this is an important attempt for us, if there are really demons, please cooperate with the church to save the unfortunate people." ”
"Wait a minute, is the church going to charge a lot of money to the places where demons appear?" Claire asked cautiously but firmly.
"No, as long as there are monasteries, including the villages in their vicinity, they are free of charge. Even if there is no monastery, if you are willing to let the church send someone to build it, you can receive assistance. ”
"I would like to ask Captain Miriya and me to go to the Great Sanctuary to discuss and decide."
Although the church claims that the monasteries are all over the continent, there are not so many areas that can actually be contacted and controlled, and although it seems a little urgent to release the news now, it is not too much of a problem.
