Section 55

The second elder lost his temper, and the other elders all watched, and the holy woman couldn't help but answer her question, so Elder Serena had no choice but to stand up.

Speaking of which, she was also a friend of High Priestess Mina, and although Moon Shadow was already a saint, she felt the need to mention her old friend's students, otherwise they would be 'eaten' by some people—her eyes swept over Notiere, intentionally or not.

A thousand years ago, after the death of the 367th Pope, the Goddess of Life did not perform miracles, and the affairs of the Temple were handled by the Council of Presbyterians.

At present, there are thirteen elders in the Presbyterian Church, each in charge of a region, and when there is a major matter, the Presbyterian Council makes unified decisions.

"Elder Serena, Holy Maiden...... Uh, I'm saying that the Pope has any restrictions? Moon Shadow asked, slurring.

"No, the Pope of this religion can't help getting married!" Elder Serena was stunned for a moment, and quickly replied, not only would she be mistaken, but even the other elders nodded their heads again and again, with a strange smile on their faces, and even Notier's eyes flashed a hint of strangeness.

What and what!

Moon Shadow was about to go crazy: "Elder Serena, I mean...... I'm still a student, uh...... Also, I'm not very familiar with academic affairs...... Well, to be honest, I'm impatient to take care of these religious matters, I have my own interests and hobbies, and I don't want to give them up! ”

Speaking from her heart, Moon Shadow suddenly felt that the sky was high and the clouds were light, and she was refreshed.

The twelve elders (High Priest Mina was absent) looked at each other, Her Royal Highness the Holy Maiden is too individual, although the Cult of the God of Life has always been low-key and does not participate in politics, but there are nearly a million members on the mainland (the number of congregations and the number of healers are two concepts), the influence is still very large, and the Pope can be on an equal footing with the kings of various countries and the popes of the Church of Light.

However, people are old and refined, and these elders naturally have a way to deal with it, or Serena was pushed out by everyone: "Your Highness the Holy Maiden, if you want to continue to complete your studies, this is not impossible, the affairs of the temple can be handled by the Council of Elders first!" ”

This also seems to be a good way, if you refuse bluntly, it will be very hurtful, Moon Shadow thought about it, this is not a bad way to delay.

As soon as she agreed, Elder Serena threw out another suggestion that made her depressed: "Your Highness, the matter of taking over the Pope can be postponed, but the temple will send someone to take care of your safety!" ”

"It doesn't have to be!" Moon Shadow declined.

At this moment, a majestic voice sounded outside the hall: "Holy Sword Guardian Phoenix has advanced to meet Her Highness the Holy Maiden!" ”

Guardian of the Holy Sword? Phoenix?

Moon Shadow looked at the elders inexplicably, and she noticed that when the Phoenix voice sounded, Elder Notière's head lowered slightly, but quickly raised it again, and stepped forward to take the initiative to explain.

According to legend, it is the goddess of life who selects the bravest and most devout believers to give the holy sword in order to ensure that the holy son (female) walking in the world is violated...... In other words, it is the full-time bodyguard of the Holy Son (female).

The sword is usually practiced in the temple and only appears when the goddess sends down an oracle.

"This ...... I'm a girl, so it's not suitable for a man to always be around, right? Moon Shadow said with a bitter face.

"This—" Notière also hesitated, he looked at the elders behind him, and finally his gaze fell on Elder Serena.

"Your Highness, isn't Mr. Krima also a man?" Elder Serena feigned surprise.

"Well, he's the steward and coachman!" Moon Shadow argued, and she added in her heart that he was a dragon, not a human.

"Then let Phoenix be His Highness's deputy chief and spare coachman!" Elder Serena said indifferently.

Uh, that's okay too? Moon Shadow admired this old lady so much, and the deputy manager was reasonable, this coachman also has a spare?

However, Elder Serena's subsequent blow to the stick made Moon Shadow completely know what 'ginger is old and spicy': "Considering that Your Highness is a girl after all, I am going to let the Battle Priestess Elsa serve as your attendant, she has a very high attainment in the doctrine of the Temple, and can give His Highness a great help!" ”

"Agreed!" Moon Shadow is completely out of temper, this is reasonable, how can she refute it? On the other hand, having a few suitable bodyguards isn't necessarily a bad thing.

In Moonshadow's opinion, Phoenix is indeed more like a coachman than Krimu, he belongs to the kind of ordinary person who is thrown into the crowd like water entering the sea, and the look of the strong man cannot be seen from his eyes, however, Moon Shadow's spiritual sense is not ordinary, Phoenix gives her the feeling of being like a boulder, simple and unpretentious on the outside, but infinite power inside.

The moment her spiritual sense came into contact with Phoenix, a powerful spiritual sense launched a counterattack, but fortunately she ran fast and did not suffer any damage, and the Phoenix glanced at her intentionally or unintentionally.

And that Elsa priest...... Oh, it's the Battle Priest, a special class in the Temple, the Battle Priest in addition to healing, but also martial arts, a bit of a magic and martial arts.

She was older than Moon Shadow, about twenty-one or two years old, with a quiet smile on her delicate face, and a pair of eyes like autumn water that seemed to be able to penetrate people's inner world.

"Elders, if there is nothing else to do, can I go?"

Moon Shadow just wants to escape this place now, and if she stays any longer, she will most likely stage an otherworldly version of "Nuns Are Crazy".

"Absolutely!"

This time, no one was left behind, and under the escort of the elders, Moon Shadow fled away from the Temple of Life, and the sense of conversion in her heart did not determine the belonging of her faith, just as she liked to enjoy food, but would never worship the vegetable grower as a god.

The guards at the Duke's Palace were greatly relieved to see Moon Shadow return, and just now there was a colleague who had been trained by Earl Warren for not finding Miss Alice.

"Miss Alice, you're finally back, and Lord Count is looking for you everywhere!"

Looking for me? Moon Shadow was puzzled, "I'm in the academy, no one is looking for me!" ”

The guard smiled bitterly: "Miss, how dare we go to the Black Tower of the Great Magister of Alexandra, I heard that you are going home today, but you didn't come back after waiting for a long time, Lord Count is in a hurry, and sent many brothers to find you!" ”

In such a hurry? Moon Shadow looked at Krimu suspiciously.

Krimu quickly shook his head: "Miss, I don't know about this!" ”

"You take them back, according to the accommodation!"

Moon Shadow thought about it for a moment, and thought it would be better to take the initiative to meet Count Warren, after all, he was Alice's father.

**************

Just as Moon Shadow was on her way back to the Duke's Palace, the branch of the Church of Light in Treston, the Royal Palace, and the mansions of some nobles...... Countless were alarmed by the divine aura coming from the direction of the Temple of Life, and countless spies were sent out, all with a common mission - to find out what was going on in the Temple of Life.
