"You're going to ...... See her. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" The joy on the faces of the two old men slowly faded, they looked at each other, a melancholy color appeared in their eyes, and Keane sighed and said, "Between you and her...... Alas, forget it, if you want to see her, go and meet her, you sisters haven't seen each other for more than ten years, and it's time to meet each other. ”

"Is she okay?" Lina lowered her head and couldn't see her expression, and her voice was so light that it couldn't be noticed: "Oh, no, it's definitely not going to be okay, my twin sister treated her like that, and she left her alone for more than ten years, and no one else would be fine." ”

"Child, actually, ......" Margaret asked Lina to say something, but Lina smiled faintly and shook her head: "Aunt Margaret, I know very well what you want to say, so you don't need to say it, but no matter what, I still want to meet her." ”

"Well, that's fine. Margaret also sighed deeply: "But she is not very good now, she has changed a lot compared to when she was a child, I am worried that you will not be recognizable after you meet." ”

"No, Auntie, have you forgotten that our blood is connected. Lina smiled like a clergyman and shook her head, "I can sense her presence invisibly, and I know that she has been waiting for me to come back, every day." ”

"You've probably heard that you put yourself in the library, and she put herself in the penance. Old Bishop Keane said bitterly: "Overnight, I lost two children at the same time, alas, for more than ten years, although I can still see her often, but ...... It's been years since I've seen her smile, and she's like a qualified ascetic now, forget it, it's hard to describe in words, and when you see her, you'll know what I mean, are you going now?"

"Well, I'll go now, I'll be back before dinner, and I'll have dinner with Grandpa Bishop and Aunt Imam when the time comes. Lina nodded, stood up and straightened the hem of her clothes, and beckoned to Pannis, "Let's go, Pannis, you'll come with me." ”

"Your will, my pleasure. Pannis bowed down and saluted like a gentleman: "Of course I will go with you, whenever and wherever you want." ”

"Thank you, my Guardian Warrior. Lina smiled and took Pannis's arm as she belatedly introduced the two elderly people who looked at her like their own children: "This is my teammate Pannis, our trusted partner and family, who has tried countless times to protect our safety at the cost of putting themselves in danger and predicament. Grandpa Bishop, Aunt Imam, when I see my sister back, I will officially introduce him to you, not only him, but also the rest of my family, and I hope you will like them as much. ”

"You should know how to get her, kid. The old bishop stopped Lina, who was about to go out, and hesitated for a long time before he made up his mind and said, "Remember, you are sisters." ”

"Of course, we are sisters by blood and will never change. Lina lowered her eyes and said with a smile: "I will not repeat the mistakes I have made, don't worry, I know what I'm doing." ”

Obviously, Lina knew very well how to find her sister, or rather, she knew where the ascetic group of the Earth Goddess Church was located. The ascetic is a very special presence in the Church of the Goddess, which is different from all other believers.

The teachings of the goddess Denya belong to a relatively rare one among the gods, many other gods are very strict with their clergy, requiring the clergy to dedicate all their bodies and minds to themselves, but Denya's teachings are different, Denya, as a loving life deity, requires her clergy to love life first, and then to serve her, to offer faith and reverence to her, so most of Denya's clergy have their own families, and also have their own ideals and **. However, this is only the majority, and there is also a small number of priests who have cut themselves off from the world for various reasons and devoted themselves to loving the Goddess, and these people are gathered together and become ascetics by people inside and outside the Church.

The Ascetic Society is a very loose organization, and joining and withdrawing are completely voluntary, without any mandatory requirements. However, as long as you are in the penance, you must follow the rules of the ascetic, and although there is no punishment for violating the rules, it is equivalent to deceiving yourself and the goddess, and almost no one will be stupid enough to do so. The rules within the ascetic society can be said to be very strict, with countless detailed regulations, but in fact, it can also be said to be very simple, that is, to abandon all material desires and hone one's body and mind with the most arduous life, so as to strengthen one's belief in the goddess and make one's heart closer to the will of the goddess.

"Although ascetics are rare for most people, especially those of the Earth Church, in fact, you have seen ascetics, as early as more than a year ago, when the tragedy occurred in the city of Dilsalen, it was a commission given to us by an ascetic who came to the Holy Capital together with Mento, the chief priest of Dilsalen. On the way, Lina patiently explained to Pannis: "At that time, the image of the messenger was a very standard ascetic dress. Those people lived a very hard life, whether it was cold or hot, and they did everything they needed for their own life, from growing food to sewing clothes. They eat only the coarsest black bread, drink only ice-cold water, and their clothes are only for the sake of the body, and their clothes are old and tattered. These men toiled in rags and barefoot during the day, and only when they traveled far away were they put on a pair of rough straw sandals, and at night they slept on dry straw and covered with tattered straw mats. Such a group of people seem to be particularly discordant in the bustling and rich city, but they themselves do not care, and they pursue peace of mind and liberation in an ascetic life. Of course, their existence is not very inconsistent, because these people rarely leave the confines of the Sanctuary, and they are rarely seen by others, and they only live in a corner of the Sanctuary, living in isolation. ”

"Well, I remember him. Pannis nodded, "Very impressive." ”

"When you meet a group of people like that, the impact is bound to be even more profound. I hadn't thought of a question before, my sister her...... In the midst of that, I was a little scared to see her like that. Lina sighed a little weakly, pointed ahead and said, "That's where the ascetic society is located, and there aren't many ascetics in the church, probably less than a hundred, and they should all live there."
