"What's the most terrible thing in the world? When you wake up and find that the world has become completely unrecognizable? Or is it that time is passing by minute by minute and we haven't changed in the slightest? I think all of you here know this fear all too well. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"The people around us have left traces of age on their bodies over time, either 'growing up' or 'getting older', but our bodies have not changed in the slightest. That's right, only we are different, we are abandoned by time. ”

"It's scary to watch our former playmates grow up, get married, and have children, and we will always be little children, and we will never be exposed to the colorful and beautiful world, right? ”

"It's certainly scary. But the terrible thing is not only that, because we have been abandoned by time, so we have become a completely different existence in the eyes of others. Criticism, exclusion, indifference, and inhuman violence may all happen to us...... But that's not a reason to give up on the pursuit of light and hope!"

"Treating hatred with hatred, resisting violence with violence, such an approach can only dissolve a temporary grievance, and after that, we are left with nothing but endless emptiness and darkness. A tooth for a tooth will not end the tragedy, it will only lead to a greater tragedy. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, the true God has not turned his back on us, time has not really forgotten us completely, we can still feel our own growth from the cultivation of magic and martial arts, and we can still receive praise and joy from the act of helping others for free. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, look at my hand, which is still the pulse of my destiny, and look at my eyes, which are filled with infinite light at the end of this child's gaze, despite all the injustices in this world. The light is still present in the hearts of each of us. ”

-- Speech of the first saint of the Order of the Redemption of the Angels, Vader Cherubim, 467 A.D

"Well, thank you guys. The letter has been safely delivered to me, and this is the end of your mission. Well, allow me to thank you guys. His earnest gaze swept over the opened letterhead, and Theodor handed it to the female priest behind him, who was also dressed in a holy white robe, and then stood up and bowed slightly.

"That's what we're supposed to do, so why say thank you. ”

The same unpretentious gesture of getting up and bowing to the other party in return was still thanks to Lance's "excessive" request when he was on the peninsula some time ago, but it came in handy in many places after that.

The "funny" little misunderstanding was dissipated by Theodore's own explanation and the confirmation of the other two priests, and Moore, who blamed himself for misjudging the other party's identity, did not have a chance to express his apologies, so he was invited by the smiling "young bishop" into the simple but stylish living room of the Yaski Church.

After this, the warrior had a preliminary impression of Theodore. There was nothing wrong with his initial opinion, and the other party was indeed a big man. And like all the great men he had ever seen, he was warm and dignified in his manners, but in his sincere eyes there was always a light of insight that made people palpitate.

It is surprising that he can have such "skills" at such a young age.

If Theodor had not explained that he was "a man abandoned by time", then Moore's final conclusion would have been the same.

"Then we'll ......"

"I have a question, can I ask?"

Although he had gradually become accustomed to communicating with these big people, Moore's words of resignation, which still insisted on the attitude of "avoiding if you can", had already come out, but they were interrupted by the young man who was sitting beside him boredly and had been holding back the curiosity in his heart.

To be honest, this was the first time that Moore had a "grudge" against the teenager.

Of course, a warrior whose facial expressions have always been scarce does not show this.

"Yes, why not? You're my friend, if there's anything you want to know, just ask. The smiling Theodore even showed the sharp tiger teeth in his mouth, and his expression could not see the slightest falsehood, at least Moore and Troy could not see it, "There is no 'business' in the church now, and it is the Order's business to solve the problems of the people of the true God, and it is the same for you—"

After a pause, the young bishop, who had turned his playful gaze to Moore, suddenly changed his voice.

"The two of you?"

The pitch drops abruptly to a minimum, and at the same time—

The pressure, which made the battle-hardened Moore feel completely unexpected, filled the entire room in an instant.

Even the warrior froze in a cold sweat.

It's irresistible, although it feels like it's similar to the "technique" used by Ekavia and Kyle when they were on the Peninsula before, and it's a "magic" that manipulates the "momentum", but there are subtle differences:

What appeared before me was not a scene of hell filled with slaughter, but a blank space on the contrary—white, pure white, as if it wanted to purify the whole world in sight, a white that washed away all its filth and sin.

"Ha ......"

The similarities between the two are the fact that they are delirious, hallucinating, and barely able to move. Driven by the distant consciousness, the fingers can make slight movements, and Moore, who has had many similar experiences, followed the inducement of the "hallucination" to empty his thoughts, and then exhaled a long breath, the pressure suddenly disappeared, and the pure white in front of him was only a vague phantom.

"Hey, awesome. Well, he is worthy of being the 'executor' of the association, or maybe he is still a captain? ”

Seeing that his tentative momentum was cracked, he knew in his heart that there was still a sincere smile on Theodor's face because he was not proficient, but that smile was already a different smile in Moore's eyes.

The warrior didn't understand why the other party would suddenly cast such an "illusion" on him, and there was nothing wrong with this almost magical momentum being described as "illusion".

Judging from Theodor's words, perhaps it is his status as the "executor" of the association, that is, the member who executes the orders of the association, that makes him show such obvious "hostility".
