"Blood is like anger, it never tells people that it is absolutely right, but it is an unwillingness, a strong impulse for faith or justice, so people cannot live without it, and at the same time need to restrain it with reason and logic. ”

For some reason, Su Zuo suddenly remembered a sentence from a long time ago, he had always thought that he had actually forgotten this sentence, but it was not until he dreamed it again that he realized that this sentence had actually gone anywhere, and had stayed in the depths of his heart.

"Are you awake?" Seeing Su Zuo open his eyes, the nun on the side leaned over to look at him, although the blindfolded "look" was a little strange to say.

"Are you...... Sister Elsa?" looked at the nun's broad and towering "bosom" with a blank look, Su Zuo recognized the other party's voice, he supported his still faintly aching body with one hand, sat up, and looked around a little blankly, "I'm ...... Where?"

The entrance is a small bedroom, the stone floor and walls exude a faint white gray, clean and beautiful, it does not look like a house in Wenning District. In addition to the wooden bed he was lying on at this time, the room was equipped with desks, chairs, hangers and bookshelves, although it was not very luxurious, but it was a little far away from the plain.

"This is the side room of the Prayer Monk Guild Wenning Church, do you remember what happened before?"

Sister Elsa smiled and touched Suzo's forehead, as if she had mistaken him for a child......

"Before......" Su Zuo remembered the previous battle, pulled open the quilt, the clothes on his body had been changed, he lifted the clothes, touched his body, although there was still a faint pain, but it seemed that there was no big problem.

"Sister Knetting personally performed a miracle to heal you. Elsa looked at Suzo with some apologies and smiled, "Your body is too resistant to the magic technique. ”

Su Zuo was stunned, he had heard of this statement, for humans, under normal circumstances, the human body has the ability to resist external magic, so don't think about this kind of spell that directly draws out the blood through contact. In a few cases, some black witchcraft can transform human corpses and fears into magical materials for good names.

All in all, in other words, spells may be able to heal their own wounds, but for other people's injuries, the top of the sky is to stop the bleeding, eliminate the poison, and use the power of magic to heal the wounds of others, which is something that can only be done by using divine powers.

The key to the divine power fit surname has nothing to do with the human body, but with the belief in the god, simply put, if you have a high degree of belief in a god, then the god's magic will work better on you. Because in essence, all the divine powers used by the priests of that god are the same caste, and they do not react with resistance as unusually obvious as the magic of a mage.

Therefore, in this world, there are very few unbelievers, and even many mages who advocate personal strength will find a god to believe in casually, because this may save your life at a critical moment, after all, no one can guarantee that they will not be injured.

Moreover, as the strength and magic power increase, the resistance to other magic or divine powers will also increase......

Then, Suzo felt that if she heard correctly, the nun meant-

"My magic rejection is so great that I have to have a district bishop-level priest treat me?!"

Suzo confirmed to Sister Elsa incredulously.

The nun's expression looked apologetic: "...... Yes, if it weren't for the nun, no matter how much divine power other people input, the divine structure would have disintegrated before entering the injured area......"

[I'm only an apprentice...... I already need a priest at the level of a nun to treat me...... If you are seriously injured at the intermediate or advanced level...... Isn't it possible to go to the Pope?!]

Su Zuo stared blankly at the ceiling, wanting to cry without tears.

"Ah, since you're awake, then these things will be returned to you as well. ”

Elsa picked up Suzo's original clothes from the table behind him and put them in front of him, and on top of the black robe, which had been clearly completed, was his magic path book, and some other bits and pieces.

"Ah!" Seeing the Demon Dao Book, Su Zuo picked it up with some surprise, and checked it repeatedly, he hadn't forgotten that if it hadn't been for the Demon Dao Book blocking it for him, he would have died before Cromwell appeared.

That's right, it wasn't until the moment Cromwell made his voice that Suzo actually fainted.

Seeing Su Zuo's look of surprise, Elsa smiled lightly, and she stood up: "Since you have woken up, I also have to inform the Duchess to do it...... She's always wanted to see you again. ”

Su Zuo, who was checking the Demon Dao Book, stiffened his fingers: "Duchess?!"

He suddenly remembered that the jewels that had been swallowed by the Demon Book had arrived—he couldn't afford to sell so many jewels!

Looking at the magic book in his hand, Su Zuo began to think about a question very seriously-

"How much is this worth?!".

Well, Suzo wasn't that much of a loser, and the Duchess didn't seem ready to find out where Suzo got all that jewelry.

As soon as she entered the room, Shirley threw herself on the side of the bed and hugged Su Zuo, who was already dressed and sitting upright on the edge of the bed in a bored daze.

"That's wonderful......" Before she could finish a sentence, she was already crying.

"Uh...... Mrs. ...... "was hugged by the mature lady, although Su Zuo is not capable now, but Shirley's chest is pressed against his arms, and the feeling of soft and trembling still makes him feel embarrassed with the soul of this adult.

Wei Jie'er, who came in behind Sherry, glared at Su Zuo fiercely, and Su Zuo was inexplicable, but it seemed that her magic affinity and surname were much better than Su Zuo, and now she was wearing armor and holding a sword, and she was in great spirits, and she had already started her work as a sheriff again.

"Madame, let go of that guy, he can't even breathe. ”

Vigille opened her mouth and rescued Suzo from the danger.

"Uh-huh......" Touching her tears, Shelle nodded and let go of her hand.

Knetting, Lady Shirley, and Vigil, these three women of different ages and identities, but each with their own charm, surrounded Su Zuo in the middle and sat in a circle, quite like a three-class trial, which made Su Zuo feel extremely embarrassed and didn't know where to put his hand.

For the first time, he began to seriously reflect on whether he had gone too far in the limelight this time.

To Su Zuo's surprise, the first to speak was Sister Knetting, who Su Zuo was most unfamiliar with, and she coughed lightly: "Actually, um...... Evanian: Hmm...... Sir?"

"Just call me Evanian. Suzo replied quickly,

"Ahem......" Knetting coughed a little embarrassedly, compared to Elsa's kind impression, Knetting is more majestic, but I don't know why, after the majesty, Knetting always gives people a feeling of being a little clumsy, "Then Evan Ian, in fact, Mrs. Shirley came this time to ask you for your thoughts." ”

"Huh?" Su Zuo was a little puzzled, not understanding what would happen to Shirley as the main chamber of a duke, looking for a slum kid like herself.

"Actually......" Shirley began, she seemed a little hesitant, and she looked at Suzo cautiously like a rabbit, and it looked like - quite cute?

"Actually, I want to ask you if you can be my adopted son. Shellier made up her mind and replied quickly, "You saved my life and Eliel, but I can repay you with really not much more than a little money, so I want to ask you if you can be my adopted son?"

Burst!

Su Zuo almost squirted, this woman's heart is too kind!

Su Zuo was tempted, he was decisively tempted! If you are not tempted, you are not a person!

The adopted son of the Duke of Silver Rose's family!?Duke!And she is an only daughter!No son!!

But-

Forced to calm down, Su Zuo took a deep breath in the gaze of the three female surnames: "May I ask Madame...... Was this a unilateral decision on your part, or has it been discussed with Duke Feldnan?"

"Feller......" Hearing Suzo's inquiry, Shirley suddenly became entangled, "Feller, he is not in the city now, but I think if he comes back, he will definitely agree with you......"

"Then forgive me for refusing. Su Zuo declined Shirley's proposal very humbly, "I appreciate your kindness, madam, but I think that in Nolan Jier, life in the Golden Lock of the Raven is not bad, although I also have a good impression of you, Madame, I think you are an excellent and beautiful, and kind-hearted mother, but to be honest, after I think about it carefully, I feel that the aristocratic life is still not suitable for a vulgar person like me." So I still don't disturb your life with the Duke. ”

Su Zuo thought very simply, the bloodline of the Silver Rose family has not yet been settled, the first child is a girl, and if he arrives at the Silver Rose family, then not to mention Mrs. Shirley's side, the impression given to the legendary iron-blooded and cruel Duke of Silver Rose is that he must be a Nanling mongrel who came to snatch his Silver Rose title. So in that family dominated by Duke Rose, it is uncertain how long he can live.

So I still follow the old saying, I'd rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail, he made such a big move in Wenning District, it is the time to consolidate the results, how can you say that if you change the copy, you will change the copy, right?

“...... So......" Shirley sighed, "Then there is no way......

After refusing, Su Zuo's expression changed, from his original dignified to a little embarrassed, and he cautiously asked, "That...... Madame, how much are those pieces of jewelry worth to you?"

Shirley was stunned and didn't react: "There are probably 2 or 3 thousand gold coins in bits and pieces, what's wrong?"

Su Zuo's hands rubbing his palms stopped: "Wait...... How many coins? No...... Is it gold? or silver?"

"It's probably more than 3,000 imperial gold coins, what's wrong?" Shirley looks a little innocent, even if she is married to a wife, she is still a natural fool?

Su Zuo decided not to mention the issue of compensation, and since Shirley didn't say it, he would definitely not mention it again.

Damn, 3,000 gold coins or something, he can't afford to sell it! With 3,000 gold coins, it's enough to buy 10 Qiluo!

Nima ...... The gap between rich and poor in this world is really ......

Su Zuo's eyes were full of blood and tears.

"Since you don't want to, then I can't help you anymore, here is worth 1,000 gold ......"

Su Zuo jumped up suddenly: "Madam, don't talk about money! Talking about money hurts feelings!"

Now this natural dumbness didn't react, God knows what she would think when she reacted! She couldn't react, and so did the Silver Rose Gong. 3,000 gold coins, even for a crown nobleman, is not a small amount of money. In order to give people the impression that they are cheap and obedient, and then they are killed, this money can't be collected!

"Oh...... In this way...... "It seems that Shirley has no opinion, and since Su Zuo refused, she also tusked back the hand that was halfway out of her bag.

Suzo regretted it the moment he refused.

In that slender jade hand, several huge gems shimmered with an inexplicable luster, and Su Zuo, who didn't need the arcane bloodline of the Demon Dao Book, could see at a glance that those were definitely very precious magic gems!

Blood and tears flowed into a sea of blood in his heart, and Su Zuo had to pretend to smile on the surface: "Speaking of which, what happened to that alchemist in the end?"

The moment Su Zuo blurted out, he realized that he had said the wrong thing.

The faces of the three people present were gloomy to varying degrees.

Finally, Vigille replied on behalf of the others, "He was killed on the spot by Chief Cromwell." ”。

Eventually, Knetting suggested to Suzo that in order to improve his strange and excessively magical resistance physique, he should join the Prayer Order and become a true believer.

As the name suggests, it is a monastic order composed almost entirely of female believers, although it has not been without male believers before, but the number is extremely rare.

And Knetting not only gave Su Zuo a gift for his initiation, but also gave him a badge and a disc, confirming his status as a priest. Even if Suzo does not go to the church to become an orthodox priest in the future, with the prayer disc, no matter where he goes, as long as there is a church of the gods, then Suzo can ask the priest of the church or the monk of the monastery for help.

Compared with the almsgiving of ordinary believers, Knetting's initiation ceremony for Su Zuo was very formal, and it happened that Su Zuo also relied on Knettin's divine power to maintain his surname for three consecutive days because of the problem of coma, and he did not eat, and even the conditions for purification were met.

“...... to receive the Holy Spirit because we have seen the goodness of all. From this day on, you are a believer and monk of Vena, the god of trade winds and truth, to abide by the canons and doctrines, not to be evil, not to deceive the people, not to violate order and morals, not to submit to evil and heresy, to be faithful, to preach doctrine, to be the earthly agent of the gods, to dispel malice, to discourage evil, to love your neighbor as yourself, and to believe in what is right. ”

Knetting said a lot of things when he gave the salute to Suzo, but Suzo only understood the last short paragraph when he was only partially aware of the teachings of the Church of the Gods.

In his previous life, Suzo was an atheist, and since he was born in a god-like world this time, he had the impression that becoming a believer in a certain god was probably similar to hugging his thighs in his previous life, and had little to do with faith, mainly because there were enough benefits to attract - at least for him.

And judging from the superficial conversation between Suzo and Knetin before agreeing to receive the ceremony, the teachings of the Order of Prayer did not conflict with some of the values he believed in, so it didn't matter.

In particular, Sister Elsa also reminded Suzo that if she joined the congregation, every dawn service and sacrament (such as the sacrament of the Holy Church), as long as you come to the church to attend the service, you can receive free meatloaf and milk, that is, "Holy Communion".

At this moment, Su Zuo's heart and saliva were instantly moved.

Even in Nolan Jier, eating meat and drinking milk may not be once a month, and for Su Zuo, who has pushed away the 1,000 gold coins, this free "sacrament" is also a pretty good nutritional supplement.

So after weighing it again, Su Zuo, who felt that there was no harm to him, agreed to join the club and became a believer.

The sacramental process of the salute was nearing the end after Knetin had pronounced the last words, and the ritual was concluded when the holy water that had exerted divine power was applied to Suzo's forehead and shoulders.

However, because it was not a baby ceremony, Su Zuo still stayed where he was, and waited for Knetting to come over with the canon of the gods in his hand, and after taking the paperback canon and emblem in her hand, it was officially over.

After standing up, Suzo remembered the prayer that aroused his interest during the ceremony, and couldn't help but ask Knetting, who had become his spiritual mentor.

"Teacher Knetin, is the phrase 'to receive the Holy Spirit by seeing the good of all' a statement in the canon?"

Knetting seemed a little surprised that Suzo had become interested in doctrine so quickly, but she seemed pleased: "This quote is from Book 3 of the Psalms, and it means—"

"In other words, does almost every believer know this?" Suzo interrupted Kneitin's explanation, concerned with other aspects.

"Pretty much. Knetting thought for a moment.

"Then ......," Suzo paused, recalling, "'Offer our treasures to the blessed land of the gods.'" The fifth light is the most beautiful in heaven and earth because it is the truth. Are these two verses also from the canon?'

Knetting's reaction was a little strange, and she frowned, "Where did you hear these two words?"

Su Zuo pretended to be stupid and grinned: "Forgot!"

"Forget it......" Knetting shook his head, "'Land blessed by the gods' is the slogan put forward by the Holy Capital during the 21st war between the empire and Nanling, saying that 'Nanling' is the land blessed by the gods, so the believers of the whole church should work hard to regain this land of gods from heretics and heretics. And the 'fifth light' is supposed to refer to Joshua, the god of glory and war, which is supposed to be the internal doctrine of his congregation, the Baptist Order, and the ...... of those who are obnoxious extremists."

"That's right......" Suzo nodded, "Believer...... Veteran...... Baptist ......"

Suzo looked up, and then saw a person.

The man, dressed in a white uniform, was standing at the back of the chapel and was talking to another man with pale red hair and his left arm hanging around his neck.

You can't see his face, but just by looking at his back, Suzo can recognize who he is.

So, Suzo raised his hand and pointed at him: "Mentor Kneitin, Chief Cromwell...... Are you a Baptist monk?"

Knetting didn't know why Suzo asked, but she just answered Suzo as best she could-

"Sheriff Cromwell, if I'm not mistaken, he seems to be the group of soldiers who were developed by the Baptists in the Seven Towns Rebellion......"
