"It's time to go with me, Julian. ”

When Jean returned, the first thing the paladin said was to let her fulfill her promise.

"Father, Mother!"

Jean, of course, didn't want to leave with a stranger, so she turned to her parents for help, but she didn't get the expected response.

"Jean, you are the best gift from the God of Light to us, the pride of our lives, and now it's time to go back and accompany the God of Light. ”

The eyes of the parents looking at Qin are full of complex emotions, and behind the inseparable emotions is a deep helplessness.

Soon, the news spread that Jean had been recognized as the new saint by the Holy See, and the villagers knew that the fishermen who had been rescued by pirates were only because of the saint's sincere prayer to the god of light. So they ran to tell each other, and came to Qin's home to congratulate Qin's parents, and some even recalled the vision of Qin's birth night, and everyone suddenly realized that Qin's identity as a saint had long been predestined. And Qin's parents could only pretend to laugh in front of everyone in front of everyone, and cry in the back.

"No matter where you come or what you do, I will be your daughter. ”

Boarding the carriage sent by the Holy See to greet her, Jean finally said to her parents who saw her farewell in tears.

After leaving the fishing village, Jean first followed the convoy of the Holy See all the way south, then sailed out to sea, and finally arrived on Paradise Island. After arriving on the island, Jean officially studied with the Paladin as his teacher and continued to study for five years.

Five years later, Jean left Paradise Island and arrived at Winston to officially take up the position of Holy Maiden.

"What is the teacher here for?"

After recalling the history of becoming a saint, Jean's mind returned to reality, he knew that the paladin had been in retreat on Paradise Island almost all the year round, and if it wasn't for a major event in the Holy See, he wouldn't have left, let alone be here.

"I heard that you have been a little confused recently, and the teacher is here to solve your doubts this time. ”

"Yes, teacher. I have always been puzzled by some of the actions of the Holy See. ”

In front of the paladin, Jean felt that she couldn't hide her true thoughts, so she simply told the truth.

"You're too young and you've experienced a limited amount of things, so it's normal to be confused. Speak up and let the teacher answer your questions. ”

"The teacher has been in retreat on Paradise Island for many years, and he may not know much about some of the situations in the Holy See. At present, some high-ranking clergy of the Holy See have resorted to all kinds of means in order to expand the power of the Holy See. This is contrary to the purpose of God's mercy. ”

"I understand your confusion, there is no absolute thing in this world, and absolute kindness cannot be done even by God. If the whole world is like this sea, if you look at the sea in front of you, is it crystal clear?"

The paladin didn't wait for Jean to finish speaking, and then interrupted her to signal that he had understood her doubts, but the paladin did not answer her doubts directly, but pointed to the sea not far away and asked rhetorically.

"The water here is the clearest. ”

Jean has always lived here, and knows very well that the water quality in this area is very good, and people can even see the bottom of the sea directly below ten paces on the surface of the water.

"Look at it!"

The paladin stretched out his hand and made a move in the air, and a cloud of sea water broke away from the surface of the sea and flew above his palm.

"Is the water as clean as you thought it would be?"

The sea suspended in the air remained still under the constraints of an invisible force, and from a distance, it looked crystal clear, like an irregularly shaped crystal. But for the Qin who was close at hand, the effect was completely different, the sea water under the crystal clear surface was not so clean, and there were a lot of impurities floating in it, and there were even a few aquatic plants and two small fish.

"Teacher, I don't understand what you mean. ”

"I want to tell you that when you look at things from different angles, the results will be different. God sees the world as we look at the sea from afar, and the water is so clear and pure. When the world looks at the world, it is like we are looking at a very small mass of sea water at this time, and there are actually a lot of impurities in it. But even if there is something dirty in the sea, it will not affect its clarity, the key is that we should raise the height of our own view, and when the height changes, everything changes. An ordinary person will always only care about the people around him, but we have to think about all of God's people. ”

"Teacher, there is some truth in what you said. But we can't just watch God's people die because of the spread of faith, we should try to find a better way, otherwise what's the difference with the power in the world?"

"The way of the Holy See is indeed not perfect, and the power of the Holy See must also be restrained, which is also part of the meaning of the existence of the Holy Woman, and it is also one of the purposes of my training of you over the years. ”

The paladin's palm was slightly the same, and the floating water mass had flown back, merging with the sea again.

"Teacher..."

Thinking that she was about to give up her identity as a saint and fly away with her sweetheart, Qin couldn't help but feel a sense of weakness, but she immediately became firm again:

"I am ready to leave the Holy See. ”

"Are you going to go with that magician named Alan Kanter?"

"How does the teacher know?"

Jean was shocked.

"I grew up watching you, and I know exactly what you're thinking. But I'm telling you, you can leave today, but he can't. ”

"What do you mean by teacher?"

"Alan Kanter has always been an enemy of the Holy See, and this man cannot be left, and I have come here to get rid of him. ”

The paladin smiled, as if what he was going to kill was just a small chicken and a duckling, not a big living man.

"Teacher, no. If you must kill Allen, even I will kill it too. ”

The paladin's words made Jean fall into an ice cave, and she hugged the paladin's arm, as if she was afraid that the paladin would do it immediately. Because she knew her teacher's abilities very well, if he made a move, even though Allen's magical strength was at its peak, there was no chance of being spared, so no matter what the cost, she would never allow this to happen.

"If you don't want him to die, it's not impossible? But you have to promise me one condition. ”

The paladin gently broke free of Jean's arm, turned his head, and stared at Jean with a pair of eyes that even had a pale golden glow, and said word by word.

"As long as you don't kill him, I will promise you any conditions. ”

Qin's tears fell, and she remembered what happened that night nine years ago, how similar this situation was to that time, the same to save a man's life, and the same to promise the teacher a condition, the difference was that she was full of gratitude and expectation for the teacher back then, and at this time her heart was only helpless and desolate.
