His voice also became a little hoarse, and he was no longer as energetic as before.

Arrow respected him, and if he didn't want to say anything more, then he wouldn't keep listening. But if the Holy Bread is willing to speak, then Eero is willing to be a most loyal listener.

After a moment of sobbing, the Holy Bread finally took another breath and struggled to refresh himself.

He nodded lightly and said slowly: "Later, I learned that it was because the army of the Blue Bay Empire was urgently transferred to deal with the border defense, so it was not able to take care of protecting the village chief at all, resulting in our village being ransacked by a gang of robbers who had been coveted for many years. ”

"When I found out about it, I couldn't contain my anger at all. I thought I was going to kill those bastards with my own hands and avenge my wife and daughter! ”

"But before I could go through the formalities for enlistment, the news came from the front that the bandit gang had been exterminated by the army that had returned to the defense, and the bandit leader had been arrested."

"At that moment, I felt like I had nothing left. I have no family, no home to return to. Now that even my enemies are about to be hanged, what's the point of me still living in this world? “

So I thought about going to the trial of these bandit leaders. I thought that even if I fought to the death, I would stab the bandit leader with a knife! Even then, I will be sentenced to death, so I have no regrets. ”

"Unexpectedly, when I attended this open-air trial with a dagger, thinking about when to stab him, I unexpectedly heard another piece of news."

"This gang of robbers, although they ransacked the whole village and killed all the adults, they didn't kill the children!"

"They took all the children and took them out to sell them for money! By the time he was put on trial, he had sold all the children he caught! ”

"At that moment, I didn't know how to describe my feelings! I was so shocked by the news that I forgot to go to the hangings of the bandit leader! ”

"I began to realize that I still have hope in this world, my daughter...... My only loved one in this world may still be alive somewhere in this world! ”

"I want to find her and protect her again. For this, I decided to do whatever it takes! ”

The hand of the holy bread was clenched into a fist and trembled slightly.

Even though the movement seemed subtle, Arrow saw it.

After a slow sigh, the tense muscles of the Holy Cake finally relaxed. He looked at his staff again and continued—

"After that, my mind was full of wanting to find my daughter. But by that time, my home had been destroyed, and I couldn't continue to do my livelihood, and the facts forced me to make it difficult for me to even support myself. ”

"It was also at this time that I registered as an emergency reserve soldier so that I could return to the villages on the front line. After the trial, I had no choice but to report to the army because I could not violate my military service. But I don't think I have any great combat skills, and now that the fight is over, I should be able to get back soon, as long as there are no surprises. ”

"But I didn't expect that when I was doing a physical examination within the army, I was detected with an affinity for the element of light. Therefore, he was also recommended to enter the Bright Church to study. ”

Speaking of the Light Teachings, a slight smile finally appeared on the expression on the face of the Holy Bread. The corners of his mouth curled slightly, and his eyes flashed with hope and pride as he looked at the staff—

"Actually, from the very beginning, I didn't want to serve the Holy See well. But when I realized that if I became a priest and I could go on a tour and rest in the branches of the Holy See everywhere, at least I would not have to worry about food and clothing, I thought, I would be a priest like this. At the very least, it allows me to walk everywhere and look for my daughter everywhere. ”

"And just like that, time passed little by little, little by little."

"I worked hard to learn the magic of light in the Holy See, and eventually became a priest. Then, in accordance with the will of the Holy See, I began to travel throughout the empire, preaching the gospel of our Holy See in search of my daughter. ”

"It's slowly getting longer...... From the beginning, I was looking for my daughter, and I began to really like this kind of life. ”

The priest turned his head, looked at Arrow with a soft smile on his face, and continued—

"In the process of traveling around, I have helped many people and seen too many joys and sorrows in life. I have seen the pain of many people and made many smiles again. I don't know when I started to make it my job to travel around. I also began to really like being a priest of the Holy See and to rescuing those people from their miserable lives. Unconsciously, the Holy See conferred on me the title of High Priest, and the staff that had accompanied me for more than ten years had also been transformed into this form under the nourishment of my magic...... Hehe, I just feel a little sorry for my staff, following me around as a high priest, so that it is full of wear and tear, not beautiful at all. ”

With a smile, the holy cake slowly closed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were filled with a warm smile—

"I also have a vague thought in my heart, as long as I continue to go this way...... Keep going, and one day, I should meet my daughter, right? At that time, I can at least look at her straight, and let her know that I have a high priest's father, and when the time comes, I will be sure to tell her well...... Tell her how much I miss her...... How much I miss her mother and I want to take good care of her...... If she is doing better than me now, I am willing to let her continue to enjoy life. But if she has the slightest bit of discomfort, then she will always have a High Priest Father of the Holy See who can be her last harbor......"

Speaking of this, the holy bread opened his eyes and couldn't help but laugh at himself: "Alas, I actually thought of using my identity to seek personal gain for my daughter? I'm a high priest who doesn't live up to my name. I'm sorry, President. ”

Arrow shook his head and said with a smile: "For the sake of their children, it is the wish of all parents in the world." So I won't mind. ”

"Really...... Is it? ”

Suddenly, Holy Cake looked at Arrow's face again, and although he still had a warm smile on his face, there was a little pity in the priest's eyes—

"President Arrow, though you say this to comfort me, I ...... from the look in your eyes But I can't see if you really think so? ”

In an instant, the smile on Arrow's face froze, and the original cheerful atmosphere gradually converged.

Seeing that Arrow didn't speak for a while, the Holy Bread exhaled slowly and said, "President Arrow, you should be ...... this year You're only sixteen, right? Many girls your age are either still under the protection of their parents or married to their husbands. But you don't seem to miss your parents at all...... Did something go wrong between you and your parents? ”

Arrow shook his head slightly, his parents' faces flashing in his mind.

Miss? He really doesn't have much nostalgia yet.

For the man and woman, the only thing that Arrow felt now was strangeness. Even if they appeared in front of him right now, standing there trying to embrace themselves in his arms, it is estimated that Arrow would immediately refuse and leave in front of them like a stranger.

“…… Well?! ”

Suddenly, Arrow's body flicked backwards as if he had been electrocuted!

He hurriedly covered his hat, pressed his chest, and hurriedly checked his outfit up and down! But after confirming that he had no flaws, he looked at the holy cake in front of him with a slightly embarrassed expression, and forced a smile: "Uncle Holy Cake, you said something wrong." Although I am more delicate, there are often misunderstandings about me in my hometown...... But actually! ”

Holy Bread didn't care too much about Arrow's current flustery, the priest just nodded lightly and smiled, "Don't worry, I didn't tell anyone else." While I don't know why you're acting in this Pelican Town in the way you are, I at least know that you're a good person. There will always be some last resort reason for a good person to do these things...... Well, for the sake of Miss Yogi and Mr. Robert, I'll leave you as a good person for now. ”

Seeing that the Holy Bread was so firm and unwavering, Arrow also knew that he might really be exposed. He pulled his hat and sat down beside the Holy Bread again: "That...... How do you see that? I've always been very careful......"

The Holy Cake smiled and said, "No matter what, I have been growing up with you for more than twenty years. Indeed, your behavior does not quite fit the appearance of a girl of fifteen or sixteen. You are decisive, quick-witted, and will find a way to overcome things on your own, and you are not afraid of challenges. Such traits have always appeared in men, so it is normal for others not to see it. ”

"But right...... You've been resting in your room for a few days a month for the past few months, and you've been taking a shower on weekdays and everything from the time we men take a shower, and you're always very careful. This kind of overly cautious attitude will still expose you after all. ”

Arrow couldn't help but knock on his head, although he was very nervous about everything, but really as this uncle said, if they are together in daily life, after noticing their cautious behavior, they will still be a little suspicious......
