One Thousand One Hundred and Forty Eight Tasmi and Yusha, how can I discount what I told the Goddess?
"Don't have an accident......"
The high-ranking Mast Hasru of the Diocese of the Holy See of Lion King City looked at the platform that had just been erected, and watched the candidate saint Yusha belonging to his own diocese "rehearsal" with the alternate saints of several other dioceses on the stage, and felt that he was only as far away from the bishop as the platform.
It's not just a matter of rank, it's not just the privilege of being able to wear a white robe.
The cardinal's edict through the Divine Guide of Order network mentions the "Final Judgment", the end of mortals is coming, and the goddess is about to restart the world!
The Goddess is merciful, and they, the servants of the gods who are busy with the Goddess, will be part of the radiance of order to avoid the Final Judgment. In the new world and new era, continue to cultivate rice fields for the goddess and shepherd the faithful.
Others have the opportunity to do so, such as the Divine Guide Technician, the head of the Three Northern Kingdoms, the High Clergy of the Friendly Gods, and even the pious and worthy Lambs who are willing to follow the Goddess to usher in a new era of mortals in the new world. However, they are just waiting for the "ticket" of the Holy See to give alms, which is fundamentally different from the "boatman" like him.
Of course, all this has to be based on the successful conclusion of the Holy Virgin.
Even though Hasru had never been in contact with the Red Devil and had never dealt with the internal enemies lurking in the Empire, he still knew that the enemy was incomparably powerful, and evil was enveloping the whole world, otherwise the goddess would not choose to restart the world.
Rituals such as the Holy Maiden's Sacrifice to send a luscious soul to the goddess are bound to be destroyed by the enemy.
At this time, one can only pray for the blessing of the goddess......
Well, in these practical matters, it is useless to just chant the name of Her Majesty the Goddess, and it is up to the real people.
Hasru squeezed out a sincere smile to the young paladin who had just walked out of the main building of the manor: "Malhon, everything is alright?"
The paladin's attire was plain, his armor and helmet were devoid of the unnecessary ornaments of other high-ranking clergy, and the spear and sword of holy light were hung in easy access. If it weren't for the cloak embroidered with the golden fist coat of arms on the back of his chest, he wouldn't be able to tell the difference from the ordinary soldiers of the Holy Cult Army.
When the other party responded, his eyes didn't stop on Hasru's face, but glanced around vigilantly, and his tone was even colder: "Call me Becky, high-level master ......"
Hasru corrected stupidly: "Okay, Captain Becky. β
Malhon-Becky, head of the Hand of Order "Holy Fist" warband, has a higher status in the Holy See than the average bishop. He was the head of security for the ritual, and he was the highest-ranking man except for Cardinal Baudouin, who might be present in person.
Hasru was naturally aware of his status, and he also knew that Yusha was just a small supporting role in this ceremony. And the protagonist of the ceremony, when he heard about it from the side, he was also shocked beyond belief, no wonder the Holy See would send the head of the war to defend the ceremony.
So he was even more apprehensive in his heart, there was still a whole day before the ceremony was officially held.
Becky didn't completely ignore Hasru: "Well, everything is fine. β
A gloomy female voice rang out behind Becky, "Really, don't you think it's too quiet?"
It was a woman wearing a long black and red dress, but her chest exposed a large area of fairness and deep ravines, and her eyebrows were full of eyebrows, and she said, "Malhon, I think we should make more detailed preparations, but it is not convenient to talk here." β
Hasru bowed his head and did not dare to make eye contact with the woman, a high priestess who abused the goddess. He didn't dare to inquire why this person was here, but vaguely guessed that it had something to do with the protagonist of the ceremony who had been transferred here in the evening and locked up in the basement.
Becky didn't have a good face for the woman: "Call me Becky......"
The woman was about to speak, her expression suddenly froze, and at the same time, Becky suddenly frowned and looked in a certain direction.
At that moment, a figure on a repulsive skateboard leaped out of the wall and rushed towards the altar. The guards reacted quickly, and a set of several rope nets pulled the intruder to the ground.
The man fell to the ground and shouted in a young voice: "Yushaββ!!
A boulder fell down in Hasru's heart, and it was indeed here when it was supposed to come!
..................
The girl jumped down, pulled up the hem of the white dress, didn't care about the golden crown on her head, and strode towards the young man, as strong as a deer in the woods, and the solemn and sacred aura on the stage just now was completely gone.
She also shouted at the top of her voice: "Stopββ!"
In front of these guards, the holy woman was still high and bowed.
There were also zealous guards who stepped forward to stop: "Your Highness, danger...... Ahhββ!h
The saint kicked the guard in the shin, causing him to fall to the ground and moan.
"Tasmi!"
Yusha rushed over and hugged the young man, so surprised that she burst into tears: "The goddess really responded to me! You really appeared! I thought that I could only see you in the kingdom of God! Thank you for the blessing of the goddess!"
A familiar voice sounded in my ears, but the owner of the voice was no longer the familiar girl.
Wrapped in a thin, smooth fabric, warm and soft, his face smeared with never-before-seen decorations struck a chord of beauty, which made Tasmi terrified.
He didn't care to sense the presence of Carmack, and the "power that can create miracles" that Carmack had promised, and said eagerly: "This is not the blessing of the goddess! Yusha, wake up! Leas is dead, I can't let you die too! We have to get out of here, come home with me, Yusa!"
Yusa was stunned: "Leas...... Dead ......"
So far, he hasn't been killed by the guards, and it's a miracle that he can still hold Yusha and talk to Yusha.
As soon as Tasmi jumped up, took Yusha's hand and turned to run, and as soon as he started, he was hit on the lower stomach by one of the guards with the hilt of his sword, and immediately fell to the ground and convulsed, vomiting incessantly.
Hasru walked up to Tasmi with his hands behind his back, his expression extremely gloomy, and he was the one who had just motioned for the guards to stop him.
"You're the Tasmi Yusha talked about?"
Hasru said in the stern tone of the superior: "It sounds like you are questioning Her Majesty the Goddess? Yusha prayed day and night, hoping that Her Majesty would bless you, and now that you are by her side, isn't it a blessing from the Goddess?"
"Yusha is now a Saint-Alternate, and she is tasked with bringing the faithful into the kingdom of God. She has sheltered you, so you shouldn't disturb her on her mission!"
The anger in his heart was like a flame, but Hasru still forcibly suppressed it, and skillfully showed a kind smile: "Since you are Yusha's friend, you should also be treated kindly." Yusha is still busy, you go and rest first. β
After saying that, he glanced at the guard, and the other party naturally understood what "kindness" meant, and he smiled and beckoned his companion to surround Tasmi.
Anyway, there is only one day, and after tomorrow's Holy Maiden Sacrifice, Yusa should have successfully completed her mission. This young man named Tasmi was thrown directly into the dungeon, and the guards could toss it as they wanted.
Yusha stopped the guard and screamed, "I said stopββ!"
Hasru sighed and shook his head, "Yusha, don't be greedy. The Goddess has blessed you, and you should focus on your mission. We will take good care of your partner, don't be distracted. β
Yusha stretched out her arms and stopped in front of Tasmi like an old hen guarding her chicks.
Her eyes were straight, and she muttered in confusion: "Leas...... Dead ......"
Hasru was slightly uneasy, coughed and said, "Is it another companion of yours? Maybe the goddess has entered the kingdom of God? It is a glory that is happier than living." β
Yusha shook her head vigorously: "No! That's not right!
"What I pray to the goddess is that Tasmi and Leas are all well, alive, and not going anywhere else!"
"I want to bring them back to the mountains well, at least they can't lack arms and legs, I promised the village chief!"
"Grandpa, you said that the goddess will definitely hear my prayers, and He will definitely bless me, how can you discount it!?"
"I also heard the goddess's response at the last sacrifice, and the goddess seemed to be saying that she was satisfied with my prayers and offerings, so what about my request?
The guards looked at each other, completely ignorant of the logic of the little saint, but Hasru understood a little, and the wisp of uneasiness that fell in his heart quickly expanded.
He tried to convince Yusa: "Don't have the slightest doubt about the goddess, or you will fall! Since the goddess has promised you, she will definitely fulfill it! So Leas must live, your companion...... This Tasmi is lying!"
When I said it, I was still thinking, as long as I coaxed today, it would be fine.
Yusha uttered something that shocked him immensely: "No, since Tasmi said that Leas is dead, it must be true!"
Hasru's eyes straightened, and his lips trembled, "Y-how, how can you, how can you put trust in mortals above devotion to the gods?"
The slightest uneasiness turned into a giant serpent, rushing in his heart.
He actually knew very well that this girl was not pious from the beginning, and it was only because she was separated from her companion that she was tricked by herself into saying that she could protect her companion by becoming a saint, and she came to this day step by step.
But he still didn't expect that the girl would throw away her trust in the goddess just because of her companion's words, which is no longer a question of piety or not, but an evil existence that is close to the Red Devil who does not regard the gods as gods at all.
Why does this simple girl who came out of the northern mountains and forests have such a soul?
The girl replied with logic that made Hasru vomit blood: "If I can't even trust Tasmi, then what qualifications do I have to believe in the goddess?"
Sensing the powerful fluctuations oscillating behind him, Hasru hurriedly made a final effort: "The trust between mortals is too small to mention, only trust in the gods, and obtaining the favor of the gods, is the foundation of mortals. β
Yusha looked at old Master with the eyes of a fool: "If a person can't even trust his relatives, and can't get the trust of his relatives, shouldn't such a person be a bad person, and it is impossible for him to be favored by the good gods?
Hasru really wanted to vomit blood, and he gasped to change the subject: "Trust is just a superficial thing, isn't the most fundamental thing power? You have also sensed the great power of the goddess in the sacrifice, shouldn't you understand that you can only get power from the goddess?"
Yusha finally revealed her true nature, and said in a loud voice: "What do I want strength for? I want Tasmi and Leas to be safe! The goddess promised! As long as the goddess can do it, let me sacrifice everything, but the goddess didn't do it!"
There was silence at the scene, and even the power fluctuation behind Hasru became even more disordered.
It is the first time that clergy and believers have heard of the structure of a soul that treats faith in a god as a bargain and accuses the gods of having fulfilled their promises?
It wasn't until a woman laughed coldly that people came to their senses.
A certain guard said disdainfully: "Another alternate saintess who has been seduced by the goddess of love and degenerated, this is not uncommon, and she has fallen into the devil." β
The girl said angrily: "This has nothing to do with love! I am close to Tasmi and Leas like family!"
To make her more persuasive, she lifted Tasmi off the ground with one hand, or with one hand......
The girl shook Tasmi vigorously and roared in an angry tone, "Did you say, Tasmi!?"
Tasmi had just finished throwing up, his brain was still groggy, and he smiled bitterly and said, "You said yes, but it doesn't seem like the time to talk about this, right?"
The girl was stunned, put down Tasmi, nodded and said, "Yes, the important thing now is to get out of here and explain everything clearly, including ......"
The voice was low and nasal: "Including how Leas died." β
Tasmi was so angry that he wanted to jump to his feet: "Why do you just say everything!? And you just ...... Hey, you're a saint, why don't you just pretend that nothing happened, and then secretly take me away? Why do you quarrel with that old man? Why do you want to say all your psychological words!?"
He was so anxious to vomit blood when he heard Yusha's words just now, but he was really vomiting, and he didn't have the strength to stop it.
Yusha froze again, then rubbed her head and smirked, "Okay, looks like I messed up again?"
She was not frustrated at all, and said in a high-spirited manner, "But didn't you just rush over to Tasmi? You must have a way to get me out of here to dare to do this, right?"
"Come on, then, I'm waiting for you to show the miracle, and I'm really curious how you're going to take me away in this situation. β
"That must be very ...... Bizarre, unimaginable miracles. β
Tasmi fell to his knees weakly, and now he was in the same condition as Hasru, wanting to cry and vomit blood.
But Hasru came to his senses first, and if he didn't act, he would end there!
He didn't bother to greet the guards, and directly waved his hand to slash out a holy light slash, and several meters long arcs of bright golden light shot straight towards Tasmi's head.
For the old priest, who was old and weak, who had neglected training, and who had not fought for decades, the blow had exhausted his strength, and it was unknown whether he would be able to get up and participate in the sacrifice. However, only by directly killing this young man and claiming that it is the will of the gods, Yusha believes that he can only see him again by going to the Kingdom of the Order God, and there is still a glimmer of possibility to keep Yusha's status as a saint, and of course, to keep his status.
Tasmi shook his head and said, "Miracle? no, it's a miracle that I've survived so far." β
A voice in my heart suddenly said: "No, Tasmi, this is just the beginning, I haven't been on stage yet!"
Carmack!
Tasmi cheered in surprise as he felt a torrent of heat fall from the top of his head, penetrate his heart, and then spew out of his body.
Layers of pale golden shields of light unfurled in front of Tasmi, colliding with the arc of bright gold, exploding a vast expanse of brilliant sparks.
Carmack shouted in the heart of Tasmi: "Let me show you how powerful Carmack is!
In the clouds above the mercenary manor, a horned whale that has been specially modified to enhance its concealment function lurks quietly.
In the spacious carrying compartment, Kane crossed his arms and silently watched the light curtain unfold in the enhanced vision.
"What a funny guy......"
He was talking about Tasmi and Yusha, a young man and woman, who felt a strong sense of dΓ©jΓ vu.
"What a funny guy......"
Kane Art muttered in his heart, he was talking about the Carmack: "You still know how to fake the fox?"
