"Aunt Elisa. After paying homage to the goddess of the earth, Lina stood up and ran a few steps forward, holding the old nun who was trembling towards her: "I'm back." ”

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back. The old nun stretched out her old hand and rubbed Lina's cheek, with a reassuring smile on her face: "You kid, you always go to those dangerous places to play, it's really not reassuring." ”

"Auntie, I'm not going to play. Lina laughed and said, "I'm going to work, and it's not dangerous at all, so don't worry about it." ”

"Nonsense, how is it not dangerous. The old nun stubbornly insisted on her opinion: "I saw it when I was young, don't try to hide it from me." When I was a nun in Morningstar City, north of Falar, I saw adventurers being carried back from the Whispering Swamp every day, and I knew that adventurers were the most dangerous profession in the world. So, child, let's take less risks in the future and be obedient. ”

"Yes, yes, you're right, I'll go less in the future. Lina secretly beckoned to Pannis, and with a smile on her face, she helped the old nun towards the back door of the prayer hall.

"Alyssa, is Lina back?" The sound of crutches gradually sounded, and an older nun, Alyssa, walked out of the back hall wearing a sacrificial robe and walking with a cane. Receiving Lina's gaze, Pannis stepped forward to support the old priest.

"Thank you, young man. The old priest nodded to Pannis, "Lina, is this a friend you brought? Come on, come in and sit, don't stand outside. ”

"Uncle Priest, he's Pannis, a new member of our adventure group. Lina helped Aunt Alyssa to the back hall, and stared at the old priest's crutches with a little worry: "Why did you pick up the crutches? Your leg was fine when I left." ”

"Haha, it's okay. The old priest smiled nonchalantly: "It has rained a few times recently, and it is inconvenient to walk with sore knees, so I am on crutches, and it will be fine in the past few days." ”

"Hey, what about the others?" Lina found that she hadn't seen anyone for a long time, and asked suspiciously, "Why aren't they there?"

"It's September, it's autumn. The old priest said, "Have you forgotten me, child?" ”

"Ah, yes. Lina patted her forehead with her free hand: "The harvest festival has arrived, and I haven't even noticed that it's September." ”

After the men had passed through several rooms and sat down in the innermost living room, the old priest took a breath before continuing: "As in previous years, the children have gone to the villages to conduct the rituals. By the way, you came back just in time, and I'm worried. ”

"What's wrong?" Lina reacted after asking, "Are you asking me to be in charge of a village as well?"

"Yes, I was going to take charge of the festival in Angus Village by myself, but I suddenly couldn't walk, and I was worried about what to do. You're a battle priest, not a priest, but it's okay to preside over a country festival, do you have time?"

"Of course there is time. Lina agreed without hesitation: "I'll calculate, well, the festival should be three days later, Angus Village is not far away, and it only takes one day to ride a horse." Well, I'll leave early the day after tomorrow, and I'll be in time. ”

"Thank you, my child. The old priest smiled and nodded, "You can sit down for a while, and I'll go and prepare for the afternoon's work." ”

"What, Uncle Priest, they are all gone, do you still want to pray for the healing of the believers in the afternoon?" asked Lina in surprise.

"I'm fine. The old priest stood up with his cane and said, "There are only three healings and prayers a month, and many believers from afar are waiting, so we can't let them run in vain or wait for ten or more days." ”

"Okay. Lina stood up: "Then I'll go to Beicheng City first, and I'll come over to help in the afternoon." ”

"It's better if you came. The old priest did not politely shirk Lina, and agreed as happily as a family.

"Then I'll go first. Lina gently hugged Mother Alyssa beside her, and without a trace, she shoved a money bag into the old nun's hand. The old nun very skillfully took the money bag and stuffed it into the pocket of her clothes, took Lina's hand casually and said, "I will also go back to the prayer hall, just in time to see you off." ”

"Why do you give so much this time. Walking back to the prayer hall, the old nun couldn't wait to lean into Lina's ear and whispered, "You haven't used up what you gave last time." ”

"This mission is very good, and I made a lot of money. Lina also whispered to the old nun's ear, and as she spoke, she looked at Pannis, who was looking around boredly not far away: "It's a lot of money." That's enough money for me to change my big bed, buy big bookshelves, and find many, many new friends to go home. That's right, this time I actually found a lot of lost friends, and I will bring them all back after a while, hahahaha. ”

Looking at Lina's happy smile, the old nun touched Lina's head with pity: "Don't work too yourself, child." ”

"Don't worry, Aunt Elisa, I'll take care of myself. Lina smiled and waved her hand: "I'll go first, see you in the afternoon." ”

It wasn't until she walked out of the church door that Lina put away the smile on her face and sighed softly: "The two old people don't have a few years, alas. ”

Pannis gave Lina a reassuring smile, knowing that there was no need for words to comfort at such times, just listening.

Sure enough, Lina continued, "When I came here a few years ago, every time I came back from an adventure, they cared about me as if I were family, and after a long time, they really regarded them as elders. It is not easy for two old men to live with more than 30 apprentices. ”

"So every time you come back, do you subsidize them a little?" said Panis, "I saw what you did when you left, so why should you hide it from the old priest?"

"Haha, you actually saw it. Lina smiled slyly, "I've always been hiding it from Uncle Ankawa." There are too many temples in the City of Knowledge, and most of the people who truly believe in our gods in this area and are willing to serve and donate are ordinary farmers and travelers in the vicinity, who are not rich themselves, and when they donate, Uncle Ankawa always advises them to donate less, and he still doesn't accept more. So when I first came, the two old men and more than thirty apprentices lived on the meager service of believers, barely enough to feed every day, and they didn't even have the funds to repair the temple. Later, I wanted to fund a little, but Uncle Ankawa insisted on not accepting it, saying that it was dangerous for me to run outside the city, and asked me to use the money to buy some good equipment. Haha, the old man is just a bronze-level priest, and he doesn't understand at all, unless there are some rare special equipment such as my magic book and mace, other equipment is of little significance to high-level professionals. But when I explained to him, he didn't believe it, the stubbornness unique to the elderly, and in the end, I couldn't help it, so I secretly stuffed the money into the donation box. After being stuffed a few times, I was found by Aunt Elisa, who was still very talkative and easily persuaded by me. So every time I donate, I secretly give it to Aunt Elisa. ”

"Very interesting life. Pannis smiled faintly: "I can't imagine that professionals can live like this, ordinary, but happy." ”

"yes, it's hard to imagine. Lina's mood suddenly fell: "But, in fact, I am using them, using them to cleanse my mind. ”

Pannis did not speak, silently waiting.

"Actually, like you, I'm a sinner. Lina reached out and gently stroked the crescent-shaped scar between her eyebrows: "You have a lot of adventure experience, and you have communicated with many adventurers, you should know what this mark is." ”

"The mark of the sinners. Pannis said lightly: "In the Earth God Cult, only believers who have committed serious crimes will be carved the marks of sinners. ”

"You do. Lina smiled calmly, without any surprise: "So you are actually a good person, seeing such a mark, you actually have no hostility towards me." ”

"Because you weren't rejected by Denya. Pannis pointed to the magic book on Lina's waist and said, "You can use the Praise of the Holy Weapon Land, you can release all kinds of divine magic, and you can even use the holy word technique directly. Such a person, not to mention a trace of a sinner, even if a row of sins, I can't be hostile. ”

"You also know the praise of the earth. Yes, I carved the scars of the sinners myself, but it was because I was a sinner. Lina pointed to her chest and muttered, "Here, there lives a demon, a demon named Jealousy. Under the ** of the devil, I committed an unpardonable felony. ”

Raising her head and seeing Pannis's slightly concerned gaze, Lina suddenly laughed, slapped Pannis's back heavily, stretched out two fingers to make a victory gesture, and winked at Pannis's mischievous: "How about it, like a melancholy girl, hahahaha." ”

The corners of Pannis's mouth twitched slightly, and he looked at Lina blankly, and after thinking for a long time, he sighed in a desperate tone: "Who are you?"

"Katarina. Lina stroked her long hair with a kind of free and easy that she had never had before, and did not shy away from reaching out to stop Pannis's neck, and beat Pannis's chest very affectionately: "The first time we meet, make a joke to enhance the relationship, don't be angry." ”

"Hehe, hehe. Pannis smiled dryly and shook his head: "I'm not angry, I don't think I have the motivation to be angry no matter what you do again." ”

Lina didn't care about Pannis's sarcasm, and continued to put her arm on Pannis's shoulder: "Lina has a good impression of you and thinks you are a reliable man. Yes, yes, but if you want to pursue her, you have to keep trying. ”

"Thank you. Pannis hung his head weakly: "I don't want to, not at all." ”

"Don't be shy. ”

"Not shy at all. ”

Lina finally let go of her arm on her shoulders and whispered a little mysteriously, "What I just said about Lina's past is true. ”

Pannis was stunned and nodded.

"But that's all I can say. Lina no longer lowered her voice and said loudly: "No way, Lina won't let me continue, that fool, it's so pitiful." ”

Pannis looked at Lina's back blankly, and finally shrugged his shoulders inexplicably, shook his head and sighed, caught up with a few steps forward, and caught up with Lina who was walking in front: "Where are we going?"

"Northtown. Lina said without looking back: "Go see a pair of clingy twin imps." ”
