Chapter 62: A New Image of a Sister

At night, the main hall of the Earth God Cult is always shrouded in silence. In this sacred area www.biquge.info, which occupies several square kilometers of land, more than 600 clergy work and live in the Great Church and various buildings every day, but with the number of worshippers and tourists, the entire area of the Earth Temple will always be lively. But at night, when the tourists were gone, some of the clergy had their own families in the city of Neville, and they all returned to their homes, so that there were only about three hundred people left in a few square kilometers of space, and they were only concentrated in a few buildings, and a large area was deserted and empty except for the patrols at night, leaving the sanctuary at night with an indescribable depression.

Tonight's sanctuary was just as deserted, but it seemed a little different. In the past, in order to save money in the holy area at night, the previous archbishops would maintain the same order, that is, after dark, only the area where people gathered could use the crystal lamp, and the number of people in the unit was less than five, only oil lamps or a single candle were allowed, so every day when it was dark, most of the area was plunged into darkness, and only a few areas were illuminated by the light. But today is different, today's archbishop has obviously completely discarded the rules handed down by the archbishops, and uncharacteristically lit the crystal lamp along the route from the entrance of the sanctuary to the middle of the inner area of the church, making the road particularly conspicuous in the darkness. At the end of the road is the public dining hall of the Church, where all the clergy who live in the sanctuary receive three free meals a day, although the quality of the meals is obviously not very good, but at least they are free.

But today, in addition to the anomalies in the lighting, even the food and drink supply is abnormal, as early as the afternoon, the church has issued a notice that tonight's dinner will be canceled, and in its place, a dinner will be held for all the clergy of the Holy Realm, as a way to celebrate the establishment of the heir and the return of the Wanderer.

Although the archbishop's words were very vague, most of the people in the church had a slight understanding of what the announcement was referring to, after all, although more than ten years had passed, it had not been long enough for the rumors of the two of them to dissipate, especially Betty had been living in the holy realm as an ascetic, which slowed down the dissipation of the rumors even more, so that even now, there are still most clergy who know something vaguely. Although they did not know the details, or even what happened at the time, after all, only a few people knew the real situation, but most of them knew at least that the archbishop had a clear successor in his heart, and that there was a young and powerful sage who had been spreading the glory of Deniaa among the people. Therefore, everyone is only surprised by the sudden announcement issued by the archbishop, but not surprised, or a little happy, for a church, to be able to clearly establish a successor during the Pope's lifetime, and to be able to reduce most of the internal troubles for the future church, can be regarded as a happy thing.

When the figures of the three moonlight sisters slowly rose from the sky, Archbishop Keane, who had lived in seclusion in the depths of the sanctuary for many years, dressed in a modified bishop's dress and holding a scepter of wheat that represented the majesty of Denia, slowly walked into the public dining room with the support of the two ladies. More than 400 people had gathered in the huge two-storey dining room, and most of them, except for the ascetics and some elderly people who were not in good health and were unwilling to join in the fun, had already gathered in the dining room to wait for the opening of the banquet, so that the moment the three archbishops entered, they became the focus of more than 400 eyes.

The archbishop walking in the middle, everyone is already very familiar, and the patriarch Margaret, who is supporting him on the left side, is in charge of the logistics of the entire sanctuary, and often has disputes and even quarrels with various departments over financial issues, so it is also not strange, but the lady who is supporting the archbishop on the left side is very strange, her whole body is wrapped in a brand new priest's robe, and even her head is covered by a hood, so she can't see her appearance and figure at all, and only a few people can vaguely guess that the mysterious lady in front of her is likely to be Betty who used to be in the penance。

"Sit down, everyone, it's not a formal ceremony, it's just a celebratory feast. The old bishop's fat body and round face made him look very approachable, and he has always been a very easy-going image in the hearts of the clergy, and today he is no exception, as soon as he enters the door, he laughs and says loudly: "Actually, it is to find a reason for everyone to get together and have a good meal, after all, the food in our church cafeteria ...... Hahahaha, everyone understands, it's rare for Margaret to accept this reason, how can you not take this opportunity to have a good time. ”

The old man's words made everyone can't help but let out a burst of knowing laughter, the financial situation of the church is actually clear to everyone, for Patriarch Margaret's harshness and stinginess, everyone can understand her difficulties, and the evaluation of her is more just a joke. Therefore, the old bishop's self-deprecating words narrowed the distance between the patriarch and the clergy, and many of the young apprentices even began to take the opportunity to coax, but the old patriarch just looked at the troublemakers and made the troublemakers shiver aside.

"But you'll have to wait a little bit. The old bishop walked to his seat in the middle of the room, pressed his hands in the air, and stopped everyone's laughter: "Today's other protagonist will be here soon, please be a little more patient." I think some of my old friends have also guessed that the other protagonist is the sage who wanders the people to spread the glory for our lord, the holder of this generation of the earth's tribute, the child who is deeply favored by our lord, the legendary sage Helena, most of ...... Oh, here they are. ”

As the footsteps approached, several adventurers slowly walked in from outside the dining hall under the gaze of everyone, and in the center of the group was Lina, who was also wearing a hood wrapped in a priest's robe. The two women, who were also dressed, identified each other's positions in just a split second, and slowly took off the hood from their heads as their eyes met in the air.

Since leaving the inn not long ago, Lina had remained dressed as she was, so the companions of the party had not seen her before, so the image of the two ladies under the hood made those who knew them well stunned. The priestess's smooth silver hair was gone, and there were still seventeen or eighteen fine cuts on her bare scalp, and Betty on the other side was just as surprised, and when she raised her head, she had a crescent-shaped scar on her brow, which was the mark of the sinners of the earth.
