Nova is a small village located on the southern coast of the Marassa Empire, like other coastal villages and towns, more than half of the labor force here is engaged in fishing-related work, and the excellent climate of the southern coastal area of Malasa has made the cultivation of herbs here quite rapid.

It was almost noon, and the sun was lazily shining on every street of Novella, and the salty smell of the sea breeze was blowing slowly from the sea, bringing not only the sound of the waves, but also the refreshing aroma of hyacinths.

The fishing boats are neatly docked on the shore, and the calm climate makes the sea area very suitable for fishing, but today, the villagers of Novella have left their familiar posts and gathered in the direction of the village.

The roads in Nova are all gravel roads paved with water, the lush reeds even reach the road, the quaint wooden houses are connected to each other, there are even free-range chickens and ducks roaming around between the fenced roads, and the hotel at the entrance of the village is full of people, and almost the whole village is gathered here.

As the largest church organization in the Malasa Empire and even in the whole continent, the influence of the Pure Spirit Church in the Malasa Empire is absolutely huge, and Novella, a small village that almost never appears on the map again, has been chosen as the saint of the church, although it is the saint of the branch, but it is also a big event that is enough to cause a sensation in Novila.

"Charnell, if you have a chance in the future, you must go back to the village to have a look. ”

The villagers gathered at the entrance of the village, some of them came to see them off, and some of them came to see the excitement, the Holy Maiden of the Church, which is enough for them to look up to, and now they really appear in front of themselves, if they don't take a look at it at this time, there will be no such opportunity in the future.

On the opposite side of the crowd, the young girl Chanel, her eyes are a little red, this is the village where she grew up - when she was an abandoned baby, she was adopted by a family in this village, her turquoise eyes, the green silk that drooped down to her waist, the milky white dress that symbolized the church saint further outlined the girl's graceful figure, and many upright young people in the village flashed a fiery look in their eyes, but now, they can only hide this throbbing in their hearts.

Behind the girl were the clergy and guards of the church— They looked at the villagers in front of Chanel, and there was a hint of disdain in their eyes, this unknown small village was like an isolated place, even if the convoy of the church came, these villagers were still dressed in simple and casual clothes, many of them were wearing coarse linen clothes with patches, hand-woven straw sandals on their feet, and their trouser legs were pulled up to the top and bottom of their knees, revealing some white calves and leg hair after being soaked in the sea for a long time, but because of the identity of the saint in front of them, the personnel of these churches could only hide this contempt in their hearts。

"Sister Charnell, are you really leaving?"

At the front of the crowd was a little fat man with a somewhat dark complexion, and if he took a few steps back and returned to the crowd, there was no recognition at a glance except for the skin that seemed to be bathed in the sun all day, and the young man was a head shorter than Chanel, and his eyes were already flooded, leaving two clear tear stains on his dark cheeks.

"Kailan, it's not like I'm not coming back, don't you always tell me that girls should be stronger? I didn't cry, why are you crying?" Chanel smiled as he reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of the boy's eyes, but Kailan's tear ducts became more and more intense.

"Sister Chanel, I'...... I don't want you to go, so why don't you take me with you? Kailan's voice choked, "I must not cause you trouble." ”

"No, I'm not going to travel this time, there is still a lot of training in the church, and Joseph City is still a big city, and the church also has relevant regulations, until I officially become a saint in Joseph City, I can't bring any relatives. Chanel took out a handkerchief from his bosom and pressed it on the young man's eyes: "Wipe away your tears!

"Sister Charnell, is there any way I can go to Joseph City to find you in the future?" Kellan's face was mixed with tears and snot.

Chanel was stunned when he heard this, the distance between Joseph City and Novella was quite far away, not to mention that they had to bypass the huge Eric Mountains, even if they were escorted by the convoy of the church, this trip would take half a month, and the cost of travel would never be less, if there was no one else to accompany them, it would be impossible for Kailan to reach Joseph City alone.

"Holy Maiden, if your brother wants to come, it is not that he has no chance. ”

Behind Chanel, a guard wearing knight's armor bowed and said, "I heard that the church will have a knight selection for a while, and almost all imperial towns and villages will have commissioners to come to investigate. All good seedlings who have cultivated Dou Qi will give them the opportunity to become church knights. ”

Charnell's eyes lit up: "Kailan, I remember that you have also cultivated Douqi, as long as you become a knight of the church, we will definitely have a chance to meet again!"

Kailan bit her lower lip tightly, her carmine was no longer overflowing with tears, and a touch of perseverance gradually appeared on her honest and chubby face.

"Don't worry, Sister Charnell, you must take care of yourself when you go over there! I will definitely go to Joseph City to find you!" Kailan patted his chest violently: "If anyone bullies you, you can write down his name, and when I go over there, I will definitely teach them a good lesson for you!"

The knight behind Chanel couldn't help but show a smile on his face, this little fat man, he looked a little obscene, but these words were very interesting.

"Kailan, do you want to keep calling me sister?" Charnell suddenly crouched down and took out a silver necklace from his bosom, on which hung a silver crosscoat of arms.

"Holy Maiden, this is—"

"Do you still want to meddle in my business?" said Chanel, who turned his head sharply.

The knight behind him suddenly obediently closed his mouth.

"Kailan, this is the necklace I got when I became a candidate for sainthood, no matter what kind of identity you come to Joseph in the future, as long as you hold this necklace, you will definitely be able to see me. When the time comes, I will definitely fulfill the promise I made with you when I was a child!"

Chanel touched Kellan's head, then stood up and bowed deeply to the many villagers in front of him.

"Uncles and aunts, grandparents, Charnell, thank you for taking care of me over the years!

The carriage of the church faded into the horizon in front of the village, and the crowd dispersed in a bustling manner, except for Kailan standing alone at the entrance of the village, his clothes and his scruffy hair blown by the sea breeze.

The silver swastika shines brightly in the sun.
