"Your Excellency's words are true. Bishop Dennis's actions have indeed stained the purity of the faith of the Holy See, but this does not deny the meaning of the existence of the Holy See, let alone the value of faith, with faith, people have spiritual pillars in their hearts, even in the most difficult times, they will not despair to collapse because God stands behind them. ”

Although the girl was sarcastically ridiculed by Allen's excuse for drinking, she did not back down.

"It is undeniable that the Holy See has indeed done a lot of philanthropy in the eastern part of Higg, otherwise it would not have won the hearts and minds of so many people, especially in the eyes of the common people, the Holy See is their savior in despair. However, the civilians are always very forgetful, and they do not remember that the source of the civil strife in Higg was caused by the invasion of Higg by the Holy See, and that the suffering they suffered also came from the Holy See. ”

During the task of suppressing bandits, Alan had already carefully studied the ins and outs of the Sigg civil strife, so it was clear that the Holy See was the culprit in all this.

"I don't want to whitewash the Holy See's invasion of Higg, but you can have a chance to visit the southern countries, where the foundations of the faith are stronger. ”

"I have been to the southern countries, but the faith is only a means by which the Holy See deceives the common people, in order to expand and strengthen their rule. As soon as their rule is solid, they tear off the mask of hypocrisy, and Bishop Dennis behaves like that. In the final analysis, the Holy See is no different from other rulers, faith can be a spiritual pillar in the hearts of the common people, but it cannot become a fence to restrain the ruler from doing evil, because it is only a tool in the hands of the ruler, which is taken out to fool the common people when it is needed, and shelved when it is not needed. As for the God of Light you believe in, either it is made up by the Holy See and does not exist at all, or it is simply in the same boat as the Holy See and is also a liar. ”

Allen's words are not only a criticism of faith, but also an insult to the gods, enough to be burned at the stake a hundred times by the Holy See, and not even the ashes are left.

"You ......"

The girl stood up and pointed at Alan, who exuded a fierce momentum all over her body, but Eren just drank to herself, as if she didn't see her angry look.

"The God of Light is not a liar, nor is she deceiving her people. ”

The girl's breasts, which were not yet fully developed, slowly calmed down after a violent rise and fall, and the fierce aura on her body gradually converged, and she sat back by the campfire, and her expression returned to calm.

"I said I drank to sleep, do you believe it or not?"

Alan tilted his body slightly, making it look like he might fall asleep at any moment, but his eyes were still bright, and he didn't even feel a little sleepy.

The girl did not answer, but her face became unusually pale in the light of the fire.

The scene fell silent, and the viscounts, who were sitting opposite, looked at each other, they did not expect that the dispute between the maiden and Alan over the matter of faith would be so fierce that they did not know how to persuade the two. The girl was clearly a devout believer, and Alan was full of prejudices against the Holy See, which seemed difficult to reconcile. But they all realized that what Alan was asking was the crux of the argument.

Is the Holy See doing it to spread the gospel of God, or is it to satisfy the power desires of those in power?

But this seems to be a question that no one can answer, because sometimes there is a thin line between desire and instinct, and even the person himself may not be able to tell the difference between the two.

"Alan, why did you destroy the idols of the gods of light?"

After a long while, the girl finally broke the silence first.

"My wife died at the hands of the Holy See. She was slaughtered without even qualifying to be framed, and the Holy See killed her for fear that she might reveal a secret that she knew almost nothing about. "Kindness, equality, fraternity" is the doctrine of the Holy See of Light, but I have never seen the benevolent side of the Holy See, let alone the equality between the high-ranking authorities and others in the Holy See, let alone any fraternity, everyone is just a pawn, you are useful when you need it, and you can be discarded at any time when you don't need it. ”

The bonfire suddenly became vigorous, and the flames rose high and were reflected in Allen's pupils, as if there was also a fire burning in his heart.

"I'm sorry, I don't know... I shouldn't argue with you. ”

The girl was silent for a moment, looking at Alan's somewhat haggard figure under the campfire, and she suddenly regretted her words.

"Any wine?"

Alan tilted his head and poured the remaining half of the bottle into his stomach, then stretched out his hand to the Viscount.

"And. ”

The viscount asked the servant to bring another bottle of wine, and Alan took it and uncorked it, and poured half of it in one go, and the bottle and a half of wine went down, and Allen's eyes finally turned red.

"Your injuries have just healed, and it's not good for your health to drink so much alcohol. ”

When Alan was about to continue drinking, he suddenly found that the wine bottle was grabbed, and he looked at it and saw that it was the girl who was holding the bottle.

"Leave me alone. ”

Alan struggled hard, and barely even brought the wine bottle with the girl into his arms, but the girl's hands still clutched the wine bottle and didn't let go, causing Alan to glare at her angrily.

"It's irresponsible for you to do this, not to yourself or to everyone. ”

The girl stared at Eren without fear.

"What do you mean by that?"

Alan couldn't stand the girl's close, sparkling eyes, he always felt that the purity and stubbornness contained in those eyes would awaken something fragile in his heart, but he didn't want to retreat, and retreating would only make his heart more fragile.

"Your injuries are not good, drinking alcohol will only aggravate your injuries, how can you take responsibility to protect us if your injuries are aggravated?"

Alan didn't back down, and the girl didn't give up, and for a while, the two of them were actually frozen there, like two vindictive children.

"Alright, alright. It's late today, and we have to hurry tomorrow, so let's rest early. ”

The viscounts had to stand up and speak. The Viscount was ready to persuade them to dissuade them when he saw that they were arguing over a drink, but his lady thought it amused, and motioned for another look, until neither of them would give in and almost fight, and the two had to intervene, and the lady took the girl's hand, and the Viscount snatched the bottle from Alan's hand.

"I'll keep this bottle for you for the time being, if you want to drink it, when you get to Baden, I'll ask you to drink enough, how about it?"

"Put it away, it's okay!"

Alan also felt that his behavior just now was a little out of shape, and he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, he let go of the hand holding the wine bottle and stood up.

"That's all for today's dinner, and we'll continue to travel tomorrow, so everyone should rest early. When we arrived in Baden, I enjoyed ourselves until dawn. ”

The viscount shouted to the nearby servants.

The Viscountess was the first to leave the campfire, and the Viscount hurried after him, draped her over a thick cloak, and then they went in the direction of the tent, and the two children followed them, still clutching a large piece of roast lamb in their hands, such a delicious lamb that they did not feel enough even if they had eaten their bellies.
