Volume 1: Interlude: The Light of Hope
The next evening, Mid-levels Gospel Church.
Catherine held on to the stone platform and gasped for a long time, but the cold ground still did not pierce the white light streaks, and Sidegar sat motionless on the chair by the wall, her posture unchanged from exhaustion, her head drooping, her arms propped up on her knees. Catherine tried to call her several times but couldn't make a sound, she didn't rest for several days in a row, and it seemed that she was really tired. But they were also busy all day.
Catherine's prostration was not over, and Sidgar awoke suddenly, lifted her head from her seat, and returned a few minutes later with the drawings, reaching out to touch the lines of the floor tiles as if she was determined to do something, and then pressed her ear to the stone platform and listened intently for a while.
After they were convinced that a silt magic on the thirtieth underground layer had been channeled by the new pattern, the teleportation circle with a radius of three meters below them finally lit up.
"Great." Catherine thanked her so weakly. But Sidgar's eyes were confused and uncertain when he stood up.
Sidgar walked out the door and took a cappella sheet and put it down with a frown, then she went to the cupboard in the basement and fetched two cups and filled them in front of a bucket of Krombacher, foaming at the white foam and sliding through the back of her hand onto the array of light.
Catherine didn't have the strength to move yet, so she had to wait and see.
Sidgar handed Catherine a large glass, and touched it at once, and then grunted down her glass, not knowing when she had fallen into this vice with her master, and not seeing it at all, perhaps because of the recent stress, so Catherine said, "Why don't you go to sleep, and wake up ......."
Sidgar looked at Catherine for a long, long time, and seemed to be a little sad, not knowing where the sadness came from in those holy eyes.
"Catherine, I'm sorry, I won't say anything, but I'm really unwilling for you, don't you say hello to them?"
"I still don't bother them, I was very satisfied to see them all happy last night." Catherine smiled and shook her head.
After a trance, she slowly sipped her beer, and to be honest, the scraping sensation of passing through her throat was quite pleasant, Catherine smiled bitterly, "I'd better leave at this point in time, but I'm really embarrassed to borrow your leyline." ”
"Not at all." Sidgar lowered her eyebrows with regret, and her short hair swayed.
The way she took off her nun hat was surprising, perhaps because of the needs of war, but her neat short blonde hair was more than expected.
Sidgar straightened to her feet, then bowed deeply to Catherine.
"I'm really sorry for causing you trouble, and I will also apologize to Liu Zhen on behalf of the Hardy master, and I will also compensate for the facilities that were damaged by us."
"Oh yes, it's polite to be an ally already," Catherine smiled after wiping the foam from her mouth, "I'm not going back for that reason, and I don't want to make a big deal out of it." ”
It's also true that I'm too lazy to clean up this mess.
"What about the husk?" She asked.
"It's going to degenerate into ceramics, and there may not be a chance to come back here, so let's dispose of it." Catherine rested her glass on the floor tiles and sat down slowly on the stone platform.
It's a strange feeling to go home with the smell of alcohol. She looked at Sidgar and smiled.
I've completed my mission here, it's time to go back.
Goodbye Liu Zhen, goodbye apprentice, goodbye Su Meng.
Goodbye Sacred Heart Wenzhu sister.
She lay on the stone platform and slowly closed her eyes.
The light array below was getting brighter and brighter, and white particles of light were jumping and flying.
Knock knock.
"Did it bother you?"
Catherine got up, saw Su Meng at the door with a gentle smile that could melt the atmosphere and said, "Of course I want compensation, but fortunately, I quietly bought insurance for Liu Zhen before." ”
It turns out that insurance still has a good time. Catherine nodded hurriedly, "I didn't expect you to find it," and turned to Sidgar, "That's it." ”
"If I knew you were leaving today, I should have taught you how to bake bread."
"Don't worry, there's the right person out there to teach me."
"Really?" Su Meng tilted her head a little puzzled, she couldn't see any sadness on her face at this time, she looked like that person.
"Sister Catherine," Xiaozhu walked in and walked up to Catherine with a smile on her face, "Thank you for sending me such a mess of ruins, and I'll clean it up." ”
Although the first half of the sentence is very direct, I still don't believe the second half of the sentence.
"Pray well and eat fewer cookies."
Xiaozhu didn't answer, just hugged Catherine tightly.
Why did the conversation turn to strange places again? Catherine was not moved, but furrowed her brow in bewilderment.
"What about them?" Sidgar asked in place of Catherine.
"No," Catherine shook her head, "they're finally together, let them rest for a day." ”
Outside, there was the sound of the Passat going out, and they showed up anyway.
It's just a noisy appearance.
"What a flamboyant tongue," Ryu Jin walked in and tossed the key to Sidgar, "I said what kind of mess you've been doing these days, it's getting more and more colorful." ”
"Of course, it's a book, and it's the most suitable military book for men to read," Wen Cheng, who was holding a bouquet of flowers, replied with a smile, "At present, we are still developing into a good candidate for the war, so I have been thinking for a long time about how to find a talent suitable for farming." ”
That being said, when I captured Miss Taneda, I wasn't included in the harem by you, a princess who eats both men and women, really.
"Look at the way you look, is there something you have eaten too much, it seems that you will have to pour more Coke in the future. And ah," Ryu Zhen suddenly glared at Catherine, "so the church I worked so hard to buy was given to his silly sister, and the agreement was not counted?" Who will pay this debt? ”
"It's all right," Catherine shrugged innocently, "the debt can be carried by their brother and sister." ”
Everyone looked at Wen Cheng together.
"Hehe, so I guess I owe you something again?" Wen Cheng generously put his hand on Liu Zhen's shoulder.
"Take your hands away and go to your good master." Yoo Jin shook off his hand and kicked him.
Wen Cheng stumbled to Catherine.
No, you were so delicate and said those gentle words to me last night, why did you turn your face and deny people as soon as you woke up. Wen Cheng looked back at Yoo Jin as if he was humiliated.
Who told you that you went out to buy fritters for breakfast! Didn't you say you made your own breakfast?! Ryu Zhen glared back.
"So you ......"
After seeing the lilies handed over by Wen Cheng, Catherine, who was blushing, showed a moved expression.
"Master," Wen Cheng looked at her and said, "I'm sorry I didn't take care of you last night. ”
What's more, you are the biggest hero of last night, the descendant of the goddess of light.
"Military writings?" Catherine diverted the subject, "We really don't have a shortage of them, why don't you have a chance to bring me a few copies in the future?" ”
"Okay, if it's suitable for your era, Napoleon's anthology is good, but the technology line is still very important, so it's better to bring some programming books with you then."
The Templar Empire doesn't have a computer, in fact, he didn't look at it and wanted to change hands, not to mention who it brought to him, Wen Cheng observed Catherine like this.
Catherine nodded happily, she didn't have the demeanor of a sister at this time.
"It seems that it is fate, and I still have to go back and face all this."
Please don't lament fate in this cold basement.
"What if I'm a little reluctant to you?" Catherine patted Moon Cheng on the cheek.
"How did you eat today?" Wen Cheng hugged her and whispered quietly in her ear.
"Lin Qi's food."
"Leave after dinner?" Wen continued to ask.
This kind of homely talk is usually nonsense, but every sentence at the moment is to save time.
"Eat, I'm looking forward to all four of you being happy." Catherine pushed Wen Cheng away, already in tears.
Su Meng looked at Wen Cheng uneasily, it was time to brake.
"I'll stay here until your core arrives." Wen Cheng held Catherine's face.
"To be a good student, remember that I am also a teacher." Catherine laughed.
"I'll work everything."
You will be proud, my Master.
and, "The Queen of the Future." ”
"You've always thought it would be nice if I married him, right?"
What, this is.
Wen Cheng held his breath and watched as these beautiful and warm tears continued to run down his master's cheeks, and the unnamed mind pierced through his chest like arrows.
"I originally thought that when you left the school, you would definitely ask me a lot, what did I say that I used you to help him, I tempted you with my shell body, and I tempted you with my world, and in the end I couldn't tell who it was for? It was a betrayal, and it's only now that I understand more and more what I did in the first place. ”
This kind of frivolity is in my nature. Catherine wept so reproachfully.
But in front of him, I want to be seen as a good girl, and I pretend not to care about him, what a mean person. Disciple, am I really so scheming in front of you? Obviously, looking at Su Meng, she was also a little jealous, unwilling, and even felt aggrieved for her, but she was reluctant to any of you.
Perhaps because of the wine, Catherine's cheeks were crimson, her throat was thirsty, and she couldn't stop crying.
That's why I didn't dare to see you for the last time.
This is a flower for me, a pure lily, but I don't think I deserve it.
The bewildered blonde woman heard him whisper in her ear.
"Many people also see me as a person who forgets his righteousness for the sake of profit," Wen Cheng said with a smile, "Even if everyone sees me like this, Master, you treat me differently." I have learned a lot from you because you have a holy heart. ”
"So, Master will become a great queen."
"Are you so sure about me?"
In fact, according to your magical operating style, I don't think the entire Templar Harem is your opponent.
smiled at Catherine so confidently, but Wen Cheng's hands couldn't help shaking.
The master and apprentice hugged each other.
"After that, I may not be able to leave the palace, and I may never see you again."
Caressing her long hair, feeling her heartbeat, even in this dark space, it feels extremely warm.
This relationship, which can only be understood by each other, is also an agreement between the two worlds.
"Let's go with the scent of flowers, Katie, and say hello to His Highness Conrad and Xin Yuan for me."
"Come on, too."
After Catherine was in tears and everyone nodded, Wen Cheng slowly put her on the stone platform, wiped the tears on her face, waited for her to slowly close her eyes, and finally put the lily on her heart and held her hands.
The white beams of light from below converge and pass through the blonde beauty's heart.
The white light was not some miracle, it was a devout faith accumulated in the heavens and the earth, and it was gathered by the resonance of the white light of her life.
The surging beams of light pierced the sky like white sprays, and all that was contained in the arms was the thoughts that gradually dissipated, extending to the sky to the other side.
He couldn't do anything, he could only feel the warm body surrounded by him gradually turn into a cold puppet, tears welling up.
It is never God or faith who can save people, but people who are full of faith.
Parting will always come, but then there will be a brighter future.
Katie, you are my light of hope, let us bless and encourage each other from afar.
