Chapter 62: The Stone Altar
The sleeping girl moved her eyebrows, and the Western woman held her firmly in her arms.
"Catherine! You...... Say it again?!" Lin Yuan looked a little angry.
Lin Yuan's thoughts were so chaotic that he could only make some disorganized syllables, panting with anger, and his neck slowly turned red. Staggering back, quietly gripping the staff, the three tree giants sank like executioners.
"Yo, son of the Lin family, don't be so angry, even the messenger of the Holy Church dares to do it?" Catherine's eyes were pure.
"It's just a low-level Heroic Spirit, so why should he be protected by the Templar Empire? This is a serious diplomatic accident." Lin Yuan took a deep breath and said, "Before making a statement, it's best to think about the reason."
"I'm sorry, but this Heroic Sister's physiognomy matches my Templar, so the moment I first met her, I helped her convert to the Templar faith......
How can there be such an operation?! Wen Cheng was shocked and continued to observe the master.
"I've never heard of someone who was converted without saying a word."
"Isn't that what babies are?"
"You dare to say it's a baby?" Lin Yuan said angrily.
"The resurrection is mine, and the life is mine; Whoever believes in me, though he dies, will be raised. Whoever lives and believes in Me will never die." Catherine chanted slowly. (John 11:25-26)
Lin Yuan looked at her with a hint of anger, there are so many verses in the Bible, presumably the words in front of her are easy for the woman to come by, and she doesn't know if it's true or not, but there is no flaw.
"Lin Yuan," Catherine said, "Xiaozhu's immortal body was not obtained out of thin air, it must have an indissoluble bond with the Holy Church."
Wen Cheng swallowed his saliva and continued to watch the master break blindly, the immortal body was obviously caused by the small bamboo house built by Lu Gong for his daughter......
"Hmph, even so, she's still a Heroic Spirit here, and she's still not protected by the Magical Envoy Covenant." Lin Yuan lowered the corners of his eyebrows.
"No, no, no, although she is not protected by the Magical Envoy Covenant, she is already a citizen of the Templar Empire." Catherine covered her mouth and smiled, her tone as if she was drinking afternoon tea with someone.
"Don't make such low-level jokes," Lin Yuan waved his hand, "The Templar Empire has not established diplomatic relations with this world, and this kind of childish diplomatic rhetoric doesn't count at all!"
Catherine frowned, the man in front of her was bound to do whatever it took to get Xiaozhu, and no matter how many high-sounding reasons there were, it was also a decoration.
"You can think about it carefully, Young Master of the Lin Family," Catherine's face turned cold, "With the influence of my Sebastian family in the Templar Empire, it won't take much effort to declare war on a certain world!"
Wen Cheng gasped, what is the situation, if it is really because of my sister that the two worlds are at war, the consequences will be unimaginable......
"That ......," Moon Cheng said tentatively.
"Don't interject, stand in the back for me." Catherine rebuked.
「……」
"When it comes to influence, my Lin family doesn't scare you Sebastian family at all."
"My family aside, even in a country where there is no formal diplomatic relationship, and believers outside are killed, can the Templar Empire allow such a thing? Lin Yuan, do you really want to try?" Catherine sneered.
Lin Yuan didn't answer anymore, and suddenly it became cold, and the two of them were arguing like this for a girl, and the air was about to spark. If he is trying to win Liu Zhen back, then what is this idle woman living in isolation in front of him for? He then smiled faintly, the situation happened to the point where both sides gambled everything, is it really worth it? He himself was just a family heir who had no right to speak, and the Western woman in front of him was nothing more than a declining nobleman exiled here by the Templar Empire.
Catherine's face was always calm, and she couldn't help but force herself to slow down her breathing.
"Hmph, it's okay......" Lin Yuan sighed.
He withdrew the staff, and the three tree giants collapsed.
Among the few people, the one with the most violent heartbeat was Wen Cheng, who didn't say a word, and he came back to his senses, Lin Yuan was going to let them go? It's not a good feeling, but after all, he saved himself......
"Lin Yuan, thank you." He said so.
"Don't be too happy, Wen Cheng, you're just lucky." Lin Yuan said coldly, looking at the sleeping Xiaozhu, Catherine who was glaring at him, and Su Meng, who was looking at him thoughtfully, showing an imperceptible smile.
It's just a half-hearted and lustful guy, Lin Yuan looked at Wen Cheng like this, waved his hand, and left, stepping into the Grand Cherokee, and the roar of the eight cylinders flew away.
Outside the square, several people were already surrounded by red and blue police lights.
"Let's go." Catherine put Xiaozhu in Wen Cheng's arms, stood up and shook the dust of her white dress.
Wen Cheng followed Catherine and came to the Sacred Heart Church in a short time. As an old building that has been more than ten years old, it has not undergone any repairs, and there are even dry wells built in the previous era in the courtyard, which were originally the property of the Church of this world.
As for why she helped Yoo Jin, it was when she first arrived, Yoo Jin helped her with another favor.
Although there is no authorization from the Templar Empire at all, but the mountain is far away, and such a thing as a fox and a fake tiger is naturally practice makes perfect, this is Catherine's stronghold to regain the inheritance, and Liu Zhen not only paid for her to buy the church by buying high-interest imperial treasury bonds, but also prepared such a flawless shell for her.
Considering that magicians without citizenship also have a history of being hunted, it is not for nothing to buy this church full of light and aura to cover up the aura of their own sanctuary.
Passing through the last barren stone staircase, you will see a bright chapel.
Catherine pointed to the stone shrine next to the podium, covered with a red cloth, and Wen Cheng put the bamboo down.
Catherine took a cup of holy water, first supported the back of Xiaozhu's head with her right hand, dipped a few drops of holy water with her left hand, and put them on Xiaozhu's forehead, heart and shoulders respectively, and then pressed her forehead to say something, exhaling bursts of white light.
After a few minutes, Xiaozhu looked up.
Gaze at the dappled stained glass in the afternoon sun.
Right on the empty white wall, a crucifixion of a man was nailed.
After opening his eyes a few times in a trance, Xiaozhu's gaze stayed on the cross, and the boy's back said, Do you really want to do this, and then you can think of other ways. The blonde woman said that since she declared it, she would fulfill the contract seriously, and the sister in the blue school uniform turned her back to the two without saying a word, wiping Xiaozhu's forehead with a wet towel, and the sister seemed to have something on her mind, even through the lenses, Xiaozhu could still see the deep starry sky in her sister's eyeballs.
"Brother......" she muttered.
"I'm here." Wen Cheng turned around and held her hand.
"What about that...... What ...... is this?"
"This is the Sacred Heart Church, Xiaozhu, and next is your baptism." Catherine said.
"Do you really want her to be converted?" Wen Cheng is eager for his master.
"What about that......" Xiaozhu said in a weak voice.
Wen Cheng and Catherine stopped talking and accompanied Su Meng, and the three of them waited for Xiaozhu's next words.
Why would my brother argue something with a blonde sister? Is it my business? Baptism, what is baptism?
Is it really that prudent to take refuge in such a thing?
She still doesn't understand what really happened, but the sleeping memories are awakened.
When she first came into this world, the little girl woke up in a garden with sunshine and birdsong, and the bread on the table could make her eat enough, but she could not be happy.
As the perched garden of the Heroic Spirit, she has no qualifications to go out, only to quietly wait for the choice of fate.
Wait, wait, wait, the girl is always alone, and all she accompanies her is the bread that she can't eat. The girl ate like this, slice after slice, unconsciously replaced by a new emptiness.
Why, no one came to take me away......
Why......
Am I really too weak?
Who's going to ...... It's good to accompany me......
The only time passed little by little, until the last 24 hours.
There was no room for resistance, she couldn't shout, she couldn't vent wantonly, she could only wait for the last day of her life to slowly fade away.
She was accompanied only by the birdsong that had been repeated ten thousand times, the sunlight that always hung in the sky, and the bread that would be refilled after eating.
And just like that, dissipated in a corner that no one cared about? Has it dissipated in loneliness? Do you want your father's soul to drift alone......
Until the door behind it, which never opened, made a crisp sound.
"Brother......" Xiaozhu smiled weakly at him.
"Xiaozhu, don't be reluctant, my brother will find other ways to protect you."
"Well, if you can make my brother less trouble......" Xiaozhu stretched out his cold little hand and touched Wen Cheng's face, "I am willing to take refuge."
