It is said that anyone who does not believe in gods will also have light in their hearts after hearing the chants sung by the paladins of the Roshbach Holy Order. The reverence for the gods that arose in the sacred song was not some kind of witchcraft, but they touched everyone who heard it with their singing, which brought hope and light to the people. That's why pilgrims travel around the continent to hear their songs.

"It is God's will to meet you here today...... Remember that hope and light are always with you. Evie folded her hands together with a look of pity. She slowly closed her eyes and began to chant a hymn to the children. The song seemed to soothe any panicked soul, and even a paladin like Dominic, who had been baptized by the Doctrine of Light, would feel a different kind of piety under the song.

Maffeo and the others stood at the door of the laboratory, not taking another step inside. Evie's singing had spread throughout the entire underground of the church, and the three of them almost subconsciously stopped their steps. None of them wanted to let the filthy self-made movement interrupt the beautiful song, and even if it was a great movement like a warhammer, the troublemaker did not make any more noise.

There may have been a moment when Maffeo never imagined that he would gain a deeper understanding of listening. These soul-penetrating songs seemed to linger in his mind, and he found that the things that frightened him, such as a bloodthirsty spirit, disappeared from his mind without a trace. If it weren't for the fact that his left arm was still heavy and tinged with a strange ache, he would have almost thought he wasn't suffering from Kazan's syndrome and the ghost hand at all.

The children seemed to be calmed down by the song, and the little girl put down her knife. Looking up, he looked at Evie, who was still trying to sing the hymn. She stared, and though she didn't show any expression, a glimmer of hope came to her heart like the dawn of dawn.

Dominic's gaze unconsciously moved to Evie's face, and he was surprised to find a crystal clear tear hanging from the corner of Evie's eye. Of course, how could he not know what she was crying for. Dominic expressed his respect for the other with a pious salute, which, he thought, were angelic tears, the most beautiful tears.

The song finally stopped under the sublimation of the green notes that represented life, but the echoing aftermath could not fade for a long time. Singing a full hymn was a common thing for Evie, but every time she sang it, her heart ached for those who had suffered deep misfortune. Even so, they never see it as a burden, because it is the purpose of their existence to bring hope to those who have suffered so much.

"Don't be afraid, it's all over. Evie smiled beautifully, crouched down and held out her hand to the little girl. The latter hesitated, but did not react as aggressively as before, but took the initiative to reach out and shake it. "Dominic, please open that cage. Evie looked up and pleaded.

"Go right away. Dominic nodded hurriedly and ran to the iron cage. In order not to frighten the children who had managed to calm down, Dominic chose to open the cage in a more "gentle" way, rather than smashing the lock hard - he could have made things easier, but he wouldn't have done that.

One by one, the children came out of the cage, and then they all made the same gesture and walked over to Evie. Her singing reassured them, and as most of the time, the children soon became reluctant to part with Evie. Only after their psychological wounds have been completely repaired will they have the opportunity to start a completely new life. Although the process has been long, Evie has already made the decision to help these children come out of the shadows.

"Let's go, little ones, get out of here. Evie stood up, faced them, and smiled.

The children nodded in unison, "Okay, sister." ”

When the two of them came out of the lab and saw the three standing in the doorway, they weren't too surprised. In the eyes of the two of them, Maffeo and the others may have just spent a little time solving the Golem matter, but in fact, it was. But the children's reaction was what Evie had expected, and any stranger who suddenly appeared in front of them at a time like this could make them feel intimidated.

"Don't be afraid, kids, they're not bad people. Evie said softly to them.

"Wow, I like you to say that. Warhammer spread his hands. "Hey, thank you so much for what you did. We heard the songs. ”

Evie smiled and shook her head, "All I can do is heal the scars in their hearts, that's all." In any case, they will have to rely on themselves for the rest of their lives. Now, let's get out of here. ”

"Agreed, I've had enough of this place. Maffeo agreed.

By the time the crowd returned to the main hall of the church, the finishing touches of the clergy had begun in an orderly manner. Undoubtedly, most of the paladins looked with pity at the trembling children who followed Evie. Exorcists, on the other hand, are tempted to draw a talisman in front of them to find out if there is anything evil in them. If they did, Maffeo, who had observed this, thought that Dominic might be fighting with them. But when you think about it, it's not for nothing that exorcists have such thoughts. In the usual words of the priests, no one can guarantee that their bodies and souls are not contaminated in any way.

"What will happen to the black-robed woman?" asked Maffeo as he walked out of the church door, facing the long-lost rays of sunlight.

"She will be punished by the Inquisition. Evie replied.

"Would that be a horrific scene?"

Dominic turned his head away, apparently reluctant to talk about it, but Maffeo didn't actually ask him questions. Evie looked at Maffeo and whispered. "Everybody has a different opinion on this matter. So even if I tell you what I think, it doesn't mean it's right. ”

"I see, in that case, then I think we should keep our own ideas, after all, I never make a decision about a thing or person easily. It's unwise to blindly label people, just like the prejudices people have about each other. Maffeo smiled slightly, and expressed his true thoughts in an almost joking tone.

Evie could discern what he was trying to say from Maffeo's words, "At least I can guarantee that the Inquisition won't attack you ghost swordsmen, although the reasons for this are complicated. But I know you ghost swordsmen are always trying to stay neutral, so I guess it's better for you not to know these reasons. ”

I couldn't think of a better answer. Maffeo smiled and spread his hands as he walked forward. Now, he's getting out of here. All the things that need to be done have been done, maybe he should have some rest.

Warhammer and Blackburn ultimately decide to escort the children back to Huttonmar with Evie, and Maffeo doesn't know exactly what Warhammer did for this decision, but it seems important to him. In any case, Maffeo could see that Warhammer had the same affection for children as Evie and Dominic. Besides, Maffeo could understand that he had gone to great lengths to come here to save the children.

"Don't you feel embarrassed, Warhammer?" Blackburn whispered as he and the children made their way to the return carriage prepared by the Priesthood Order.

"Why should I be embarrassed?" Warhammer shrugged inexplicably.

"You said you were going to take matters into your own hands, but in the end it seems that the Order of the Priesthood settled the matter. I have said a long time ago, don't get into conflict with them, I have to say that it is the wisest choice. Blackburn whispered.

Warhammer let out a dry laugh, "Haha, that's funny, little Eugene." All in all, I am satisfied to be able to rescue the children. Besides, I also caused a gorgeous explosion, and it was all within my expectations. ”

"You always have been, Warhammer. ”

"Yes, but you are still my servant, my faithful servant, little Eugene. ”

"It doesn't matter. ”
