Chapter 3: The Invitation of the Holy Maiden
"I didn't have an attack or anything on the day you were cursed?"
After thinking about it, Lu Ming still asked first, after all, An Leiya was a curse planted by someone after being attacked.
But the saint shook her head blankly:
"Attack? Haven't met ......"
She is a holy woman, the power of the church is not comparable to the kingdom, not everyone dares to move, let alone that day, from birth to now, no one has ever dared to attack her holy daughter.
After receiving the reply of the saintess, Lu Ming was not disappointed.
There had been no attack, which meant that it was someone else who had been in contact with her that day.
"Since the problem came after the church meeting...... So who was there at the church meeting that day? ”
Lu Ming asked while pondering, listening to the words of the Holy Maiden, she was safe before, but something happened after the meeting, and it was very likely that someone planted a curse at the meeting.
"At that meeting, it was just me, the Pope, and the six archbishops of the Church, who ...... Any questions? ”
Listening to Lu Ming's questioning, the saint moved her body uneasily, because she felt that the brave man was suspicious of those people in the meeting.
But the participants in that meeting were all at the top of the church.
Those few people are the saints themselves who want to move them, they have to weigh them carefully, they are different from their younger selves, they have been in the entire church for dozens or even hundreds of years, and they have been deeply rooted in the power of the entire church, not to mention moving them, even if they suspect that their affairs have been heard by them, it is also a trouble.
Lu Ming saw the saint's worries, and also knew that what she, the saint, did not seem to be as good as the rumors outside.
As the second high-ranking of the church, she was cursed to her head, and she felt cowardly in the face of several archbishops of lower rank than her, which gave Lu Ming a new understanding of the situation of the church.
At the same time, it is certain that perhaps the one who cursed the Holy Maiden was among those archbishops.
"So, what about the maid who was the first to see you cursed? Where is she now? ”
Lu Ming didn't say what he thought to the holy woman, but continued to ask.
Regarding the question of the maid, he was also a little strange, he felt that the maid's performance at that time was too much, how could the maid, who was a holy woman, be so frightened on the spot that she turned her head and ran?
Isn't it just that when you see Xiao Dingding, you can blush a little, it's your master's.
Maybe that maid was instructed at all at that time, and the holy capital spread the news of the curse of the holy maiden next, to say that no one was manipulating public opinion, Lu Ming didn't believe it.
Regarding the question of her maid, when Lu Ming brought it up, the saint's eyes showed a touch of sadness:
"After her accident, she was burned at the stake on suspicion of slandering the church's top officials, but she grew up with me since she was a child, and I don't actually blame her for such a thing."
"Dellie has always stayed with me in the church, dedicated to practicing for the goddess, and has never come into contact with any men, she must have been frightened when she saw that kind of thing......"
"Is that so?"
Lu Ming didn't speak, it was obvious that he could hear that it was not the saintess herself who attacked the maid, that is, it was killed by others.
"Who was the one who sent her to the stake?"
Lu Ming finally asked.
But the saint shook her head blankly, and told him:
"It was the archbishop's idea, I don't know who it was, but after the news spread, I rarely went out and walked around, and stayed in my room and prayed for the goddess every day."
However, the saintess is not stupid, she had thought about this curse on her body before, and now when she heard what Lu Ming asked her, she asked with some anxiety:
"The brave man is suspicious of planting a curse on me, is it the archbishop of the church?"
Lu Ming shook his head:
"I'm not sure either, I'm going to investigate."
Lu Ming had already sat up from his seat, he had been on the Holy Maiden's side for a long time, roughly calculated that it was at least half an hour, An Leiya and the others were estimated to be in a hurry, it was better for him to go back as soon as possible.
"Wait a minute, Lord Brave!"
However, before Lu Ming could take a few steps, the holy woman behind him suddenly stopped him.
Lu Ming turned his head and looked at the beautiful and somewhat dazzling saintess, not knowing what else she wanted to say.
"Do you want to join me?"
The saint's face was a little worried.
When she heard that Lu Ming was going to investigate the archbishop, she was already very relieved, she was a saint, it was okay, even if she provoked a few archbishops, those people didn't dare to really do anything to her, as a saint, even if she came to this point, she also had a deep influence in the church.
But Lu Ming is different, even if the other party is a brave man, it is also an outsider, the church is different from the kingdom, the belief of the goddess here is everything, and the name of the brave is largely inferior to the archbishop and other high-level church leaders.
The common people here, who only have goddesses in their hearts, have to say that the brainwashing of the church has done a good job in this regard.
"Lord Brave, you are coming to the church for the first time, you are not familiar with this place, let me be your guide, although we met by accident, but it is actually a tradition of the church to receive the brave by the Holy Maiden."
The saint spoke with a hint of a holy smile, but in a few moments the holiness on her face was broken, and a flush of ruddy.
Because she remembered that when she met the brave, the other party was peeking at her bathing......
Thinking of this, she glanced at Lu Ming with disgust.
Lu Ming saw the expression of the holy woman, of course he knew what the other party had in mind, he pretended to be nothing, thought about it for a while, and agreed:
"Then trouble the Holy Maiden, my companions are still outside the jungle, can you accompany me to pick them up?"
"Of course, it's not a problem, and, Lord Brave, my name is St. Silves, you can call me Ciel."
Hill said very politely, she also knew that her name was too long, and she thoughtfully chose a name for herself.
The next saintess directly took a few of her guards and left the lake with Lu Ming.
After finding An Leiya and the others, the princess's first reaction when she saw Lu Ming was to cast her eyes on the holy woman beside him with a sense of crisis.
What a perfect girl she is, not only is her appearance no less than theirs, but even the aura on her body carries a sense of holiness that is difficult for them to touch, which makes An Leiya's heart very complicated.
I don't know how the brave man went out and brought back such an unusual girl.
"Are you the companions of the Brave? Hello, I am a saint of the Church. ”
For Lu Ming's companions, Hill went up to say hello without any different colors, and the brave companion's name on the mainland was no less than that of the brave, so even if Hill was a saint, she showed great respect for them.
She just wondered why this brave man's companions were all beautiful girls?
"Holy Maiden?!"
Hearing the identity of the holy girl in front of her, An Leiya also exclaimed slightly, she didn't expect to meet the girl with the highest status in the entire church in this kind of wilderness, she immediately threw away her little caution, and greeted the holy girl with some nervousness.
