The silent reaction of "......" was a natural consequence, and in order for the two priests in front of them to accept this fact, they had to be given a certain amount of time to think. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Really?" Jaerene's reaction was also expected, Alicia was usually eccentric, and she didn't have the dignified temperament of a princess of a country at all. And in this less than half a day of getting along, Jay Erin couldn't see anything on Alicia that could be hung up with the nobles.

"Here's how it is......" Alicia took a deep breath and told the priests of Faris everything that had happened, including the inside story of the coup d'état at Kahlan and Yega's court.

Illiana listened attentively from beginning to end, but did not say anything until the end of the story, so Jaeline asked her questions:

"Why are you telling us such a big secret?"

"There are two reasons for this. After reviewing in her mind what she had discussed with Daron before, Alicia said calmly: "First, Sister Saintess is the Holy Maiden of Light whom everyone knows and knows in Infilia, and your noble status gives the greatest credibility to your speech, and your travels around the world during your pilgrimage make what you say the greatest spread. I want to reclaim the throne, and I can't do it on my own. Therefore, with the help of the Holy Sister, my deeds, my existence will be known to the people of Galbadia, who have forgotten me, and hopefully recognized by them. That's the first reason. ”

Illiana was thoughtful and wanted to ask something, but she stopped talking, and just said calmly:

"And what about the second reason?"

"The second reason is simple. As she spoke, Alicia was a little embarrassed, lowered her flushed cheeks, and clasped her hands together on her knees, "That's it, I want to be friends with you." It is precisely because I regard Sister Saint and Sister Redhead as friends that I want to tell you everything. ”

With a soft smile in return, Illiana said in a kind tone:

"I want to be your friend, Alicia, too. However, we have only been together for a few hours since we met, and you have told us so much without any warning, is it a little reckless to be a princess whose purpose is to regain the throne?"

"But Sister Saint is a good person, isn't she?"

"And what is the basis by which you judge me like this?"

"I have eyes, and I can see myself. Sorry, I don't mean anything else. I just want to say that I was taught by my father since I was a child to be a king who believes in others, and only such a king can gain the respect of others. Although true trust is two-sided, many times, the relationship of trust between people begins unilaterally. Especially if I want to be friends with you, I naturally have to believe in my friends unconditionally!"

Falling silent, Eliana began to think in her heart about Alicia as a king. Alicia's simple and straightforward emotional performance is indeed very much in line with the mentality of a 16-year-old girl, who lacks some necessary experience in the world. But everything she does is done out of sheer kindness, and if she finds the right people to teach her, then she is likely to become a great leader.

"So, you said earlier that you wanted me to join your team, just so that I could record your exploits and make them public?"

Daron interjected at this time:

"Not only that, but you must have discovered that our princess is a very interesting character. Her goal is to gather some interesting companions to accompany her on the trip and witness her resumption. I can guarantee that there will be a lot of fun and excitement on this road. ”

"At the same time, with me by your side, all your actions will be more easily recognized and publicized by everyone, right? ”

Smiling a little embarrassedly, Daron replied:

Indeed, this aspect of consideration is not ruled out. ”

Alicia couldn't wait to shake Illiana's hand and said expectantly:

"Please come with us. ”

At this time, Jaeline pulled Illiana to the side a little farther away, and the two began to whisper. After a while, a look of regret appeared on Eliana's face, and as if she had made up her mind, she sat back down in front of Alicia and said her deliberate decision:

"I'm sorry, we can't do it with you. ”

"Why??" Alicia cried, and the first time she invited her companion, she was devastated, and she was devastated.

At this time, instead of Illiana, who was frowning deeply and a little distressed, Jie Erin replied:

"First of all, as you know, Faris is a neutral country, and our principle is not to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries. As the representative of the Cathedral of Light, there is no way for the Holy Maiden to participate in the military and political acts of other countries without accepting the Pope's decree. And, as a priest with a sword, I cannot allow you to involve her in dangerous actions. In particular, this time I went out for the sake of the parade before the Sealing Day. Although you may not seem like a bad person, we cannot walk with you without trusting each other. ”

Alicia listened and hurriedly defended:

"Sister Redhead, you and Sister Saintess are so powerful, how can we hurt you? Maybe you can't believe us yet, but in time, after getting along with us for a long time, you will know who we are. Moreover, I assure you that I will never involve you in any political or military action in my country. Whenever you encounter such a situation, you can step aside and be a bystander. Please be my companion at any other time than this, is that okay?"

"Mutual trust is not something that can be done so easily. And if you just want to make friends, please understand that we have a position for us. As a saint of light, except for the priests of the Cathedral of Light in Faris, you should avoid long-term association with others as much as possible, do you know this?"

"Do you mean to keep your faith firm and your own purity?" said Daron had heard of it.

"What do you mean, Darlon?"

"The Holy Maiden of Light, as the earthly surrogate of Illya, the goddess of light, exists only as a pure symbol, not as a person. In order to be qualified to perform miracles on behalf of the Goddess of Light, she must have the most faithful faith in the light, and in order to maintain her divinity, she must remain a virgin throughout her life. In order to prevent the Holy Maiden of Light from receiving some negative emotions from the world, which will affect the faith and values of the Holy Maiden herself, the Cathedral of Light prohibits the Holy Maiden from spending a long time with people other than the members of the church. And the people in the church are all believers in the goddess of light, so there will be no problem. As Daron said these words indifferently, Alicia's expression became more and more angry.

"It's so cruel! How can you do this, this is simply not to treat the Holy Sister as a human being!"

In fact, in the understanding of the world, the saints of light throughout the ages are just vessels that carry the power of faith formed by the world's belief in the goddess of light. But as time went on, people gradually became grateful and admired for the efforts of the Holy Maidens of Light. Like now, although the Cathedral of Light still retains the principles of ancient times, it has been much more relaxed in terms of specific implementation. You know, in the past, the Holy Maiden of Light could not have taken half a step out of the cathedral of her own will. Now, the church selects a qualified priest with a strong faith to be the priest with a sword for the saints. Since the priest with the sword followed, the saint had a lot more freedom to move. ”

Jaireen listened to Darlon's account and added:

"That's right, as a priest with a sword, I was specially chosen by the church to serve the Holy Maiden alone. The church did not want to make the Holy Maiden an isolated existence, and from the age of six, I was brought to the Holy Maiden and grew up with her. In fact, the priest with the sword assigned by the church to the Holy Maiden, in addition to being the caretaker of the Holy Maiden, has a more important duty to serve as the guardian of the Holy Maiden. I have to take care of the daily life of the Holy Maiden, and at the same time take care to eliminate things that affect her character. I don't know if you know a lot about Farris's theology, and have you ever heard of the theory that babies are human beings forgotten by God?"

Alicia shook her head like a rattle, and Daron shook her head honestly this time, when it comes to theology, Daron is really ignorant of this martial artist. So, Jaireen went on to state:

"Yes, although humans are the darlings of the creation of Illya, the god of light, and Dark, the god of darkness, they are not affected by either of them when they are infants. Babies are the purest human beings, without joy or sorrow, unable to distinguish between good and evil, and unable to distinguish between right and wrong. Light and darkness form the laws of this world, but babies tend to do a lot of meaningless behavior. The sage believed that when humans were first created, they were as pure as babies, but later, the two gods of light and darkness gave them their hearts, and from then on, humans learned to think and distinguish between good and evil. But in infancy, before the 'heart' is formed, the baby becomes a human being forgotten by God. ”

Alicia and Daron were already in a daze at this point. Theology was too profound for them.

This purity of infants makes them the most suitable instrument of God. When their minds are not yet formed, they do not have any 'dark' elements in their bodies, so that they are more suitable to accept the godhead of the goddess of light, without having a trace of darkness in their hearts. Each generation of the Holy Maidens of Light was born when the divinity of the previous generation was gradually weakened due to old age. Each time, the Goddess chooses a baby of its purest form to descend her divinity and reveals its location through the mouth of the previous generation of saints. ”

By this time, Alicia had already dozed off, and Darron, who had woken her up, was also in a state of blank eyes.

"In order to preserve the purity of this infant in the body of the Holy Maiden, or rather, to make the Holy Maiden's heart more inclined to this purity, so that she can become the most suitable vehicle for the goddess's divinity, the Cathedral of Light has established a rule prohibiting long-term contact with others. ”

After hearing the last sentence, Daron snorted disdainfully and said:

"Having said so much, it seems to me that the real idea of those old men in your church is nothing more than to tie down a person's soul and make her a victim of the teachings. ”

Gerine's face immediately changed after hearing this, and she frowned and stared at Darlon:

"Are you insulting our faith?"

"Don't be angry, if you want to say that you believe in the goddess of light, there are small citizens like me. But if you think about it, in the time of the first Saint Eileen, there was no existence of the Holy Kingdom of Faris in this world. Who would limit her freedom, control her life? But wouldn't she still be able to perform miracles to benefit the world? Since the intervention of the Cathedral of Light, the Holy Maiden has become more and more like a tool to mankind, and has lost the right to be a human being. ”

Hearing these words, Jaireen looked at Illiana, who was speechless, her eyes were a little erratic, but then, she looked at Daron with anger in her eyes:

"If you continue to indoctrinate the Holy Maiden with these evil and crooked ideas, then don't blame me for being unkind. ”

"Holy Maiden, Holy Maiden's name, but do you really treat her as a human being? If you are a human being, you should have the ability to think independently. It's an excuse to say that it will affect faith and values, and the people of the Cathedral of Light are cowards living under the protection of the goddess, right?"

"What do you say? How can you say I don't see Illana as a human being, you know, Illana is ...... to me?"

"Enough!" was shouted by Alicia,

"Don't say it Darlon, and please don't be angry with Sister Jaeline. When you were arguing, didn't you notice that Sister Saint would be hurt by your words?"

Daron turned her head wordlessly, she had already had a bad impression of the clergy of Faris, and this time she couldn't help but quarrel with Jay Erin, it was not her intention to hurt Illiana.

Jaeline clenched her hands into fists, her eyes full of anger, but she adjusted her mood and said in a deep voice:

"Your words are high-sounding. I've been with Illiana for so long, I know, Holy Maiden, she actually knows everything, but she embraces everything with her extreme tenderness. She has accepted her fate from the beginning, so please don't shake her resolve again. ”

At this time, Eliana, who had not spoken, stood up, patted Gerine on the shoulder, and stood beside her:

"It's not too early, let's all rest tonight. ”
