The holy capital in the eyes of countless believers, the city of Rapolle, which is directly named after the gods, is the representative building of the Cathedral of Rapoll in the center of the city.

In the largest church in the world (for the natives of the "Experimental Island"), located in the baptisting temple, Vincent, who was still very young at this time, was completely attracted by a dignified woman at the entrance of the temple, like a young lady, dressed in black monastic robes, and slowly took off her hood as she walked to the inspection guards.

"Teacher, Mr. Manchelo." Seeing that the blonde-haired and blue-eyed woman had already shown her practice certificate to the guards and was coming towards her, Vincent hurriedly whispered to the old priest in front of her right, "Someone has come to be baptized!" ”

"Ahh The old priest, with his long hair and beard, and his beard and beard, seemed to have been sleeping with his eyes open, and now he had just been woken up and was somewhat stupidly overwhelmed.

Why did you get such a teacher...... Seeing his virtue, Vincent couldn't help but complain in his heart. However, I heard that Mr. Manchelow was not like this in the past, he was called a "prodigy" by many people when he was a child, no matter how jerky and twisting the scriptures could be memorized, so he often entered the cathedral at a young age, and with this intelligence and the archbishop's appreciation, he soon became the youngest "monk", and then the youngest "priest", and then he began to be abnormal......

Manchelo had a penchant for collecting ancient books and notes from the ancients, and it is rumored that he once collected a large room of ancient texts, but one day he suddenly set fire to his entire collection and went mad and tried to set the cathedral on fire...... This kind of thing happened and it was supposed to be over, but in the end, under the intervention of the archbishop, the whole thing was downplayed and it was over, and he was even allowed to continue to bear the name of priest. Later, he was like this, messing around every day.

"This young lady, if you are here to be baptized, please come here." Manxie Luo raised his hand to attract the eldest lady, and when he saw the woman's face clearly, he still admired it informably, "What a wonderful beauty......

"Are you the priest of Manchero?" The woman asked with her hands in front of her and bowed her head very politely.

"It should be me." Manshero stroked his beard and laughed.

"I'm Vincent." Vincent, who was standing in the back, couldn't wait to introduce himself, then glanced at Manchelo, as if embarrassed, and added in a low voice, "...... It's his disciple. ”

"It's an honor to meet both." The woman smiled and bowed slightly. Vincent was stunned again, and when he came back to his senses, he hurriedly looked away with a slightly red face.

"Haha, come on." Manchelo casually made a "please" gesture in front of him with his right hand, "I will baptize you in the name of my god." ”

The woman walked slowly a few steps in front of Manchelo, fell to her knees reverently, folded her fingers in front of her chest, and lowered her head and closed her eyes.

"Where did you come from?" Manshero raised his right hand, palm facing the woman, and stopped a little distance from her head, "What is your god?" ”

"I'm from Far Eastern Stave. My god's name is Lemoto......" The woman looked up with a bitter look at the priest's reaction, but instead of the expected shock, Manshero seemed to remain composed, and looked at her with great pity and kindness.

"And what about your name? Child. Mansheo bowed slightly, crumpled hands around her face, and asked in a gentle voice.

"Lucilla......" Lucilla said, and she found her voice choked and her eyes as if something was about to well-rise. Manchelow didn't say anything next, but solemnly and sanctified her for her baptism. Let Vincent on the side look staggering, this old guy used to baptize people like a foolish gesture and call it a day, but this time he is meticulously and strictly carrying out every step, and every action is standard so that people can't find a little fault. Could it be that after all, because the object is a beautiful woman, the treatment is different?

"Alright, the baptism is over." Manchelow said this, but once again bent down and put his hand on Lucila's cheek, and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Tonight after midnight, the place is the highest bell tower on the south side of this church. Watch out for patrols at night. ”

"Do as I am told."

"God will be with you henceforth." While straightening up, Manchero raised his voice, "Don't do anything that dishonors the identity of the Son of God......

"Yes!" Hearing Manchelo's blessing, Lucila only felt a warm current flowing through her heart, stood up and bowed again, "Thank you very much." ”

"......" looked at Lucila's departing figure, and Manchelow just shook his head with a wry smile.

……

In the middle of the night, on the spiral staircase of the bell tower leading to the top floor of the Cathedral of La Poule, Vincent walked up with an oil lamp on his face in disbelief, but at last he seemed to have made up his mind, stopped, and turned to look condescendingly at Manchelo, who was following him.

"Teacher! If you don't give me an explanation! I'm going to call the guards! Vincent said, holding up the lamp with a trembling right hand as he made a gesture to smash Manchelow's head.

Teacher Manxie Luo is indeed too suspicious today, he won't talk about the things during the day, and he suddenly woke up in the middle of the night and asked him to follow him up to the unmanned bell tower, and asked him the reason without saying anything, and then thinking of the rumors that have been circulating in the holy capital recently, a terrible conjecture rose in his heart: The teacher is probably not a teacher anymore......

"Vincent, do you remember that eldest lady during the day?" As if he was tired, Manchelo sat sideways on the steps.

"Of course I do." After Vincent answered, he took a few steps back and said alertly, "Don't divert the topic!" ”

"She's the so-called 'Great Sword.'"

"What?!" Vincent's hand shook violently, and he almost threw the lamp out, he never dreamed that such a beautiful eldest lady was actually a legendary half-demon? And although she has blonde hair, her eyes are not silver, "Why did the silver-eyed witch come to the Holy Capital?" How do you know who she is? ”

"Of course she's here to exorcise demons." Manchelow held his face in one hand and looked up at Vincent, "As for why I knew her identity...... Because I wrote to them to organize it. ”

"You!" Vincent's left hand trembled and pointed directly at Manchelo, different from the fear just now, now it was anger, "You actually colluded with heretics to lure witches into the Holy Capital!" ”

"Hehe, what else should I do? Do you pray to get rid of demons? Manchelow stood up on his knees, "Also, don't get excited, because you might have to do it later." ”

"I won't!" Vincent was even more excited when he heard this.

"I'm old, I'm afraid I won't be able to climb the bell tower for a few years." Manchelow reached out and took the oil lamp from Vincent's hand, "Someone will have to 'make an assertion' to entrust them with this in the future, without the archbishop's 'complete knowledge'." Manchelo continued to climb the stairs with the oil lamp, "Are you going to follow?" ”

"......" watched Manchelow fade away with the light, Vincent stood still and thought for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and rushed upward.

Manchelo, who had already reached the top floor of the bell tower, seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and turned his head to look at Vincent who appeared at the entrance panting, "Oh, worthy of my favorite disciple." ”

"Make no mistake!" Vincent flicked his sleeves, "I'm here for Rapoll!" For the sake of the archbishop......"

"Got it, got it." Manshero waved his hand and turned his head to look at the shadow that had appeared on the edge of the parapet at some point, "Here, come down quickly." ”

Vincent looked at Lucila with a complicated expression, only to see her in a night robe and a black power suit, she jumped off the parapet lightly and silently, and while taking off her hood, she walked towards this side, and her silver eyes glowed like ghostly fire, making him unconsciously take two steps back.

"Lucyla, don't mind if I call you that, do you?" Mancheo asked half-jokingly as if he had seen an ordinary junior.

"It's my pleasure. Priest of Manchelo. Lucira bowed slightly.

"I'll reintroduce you, then." Manshero led Vincent with one hand, "This is my unique disciple, Vincent, and the work of dealing with you in the future will gradually be transferred to him." ”

"Fortunately." Lucilla smiled at Vincent and nodded.

"......" Vincent's expression was very complicated for Lucila's smile that was no different from that of day, and then he turned his head stupidly and pretended not to see it.
