"Say the Goddess, do not be afraid of hunger, my children, and I will give you my flesh and blood to keep you from hunger, so that you may survive in this barren world. As a result, the barren soil became fertile, and the barren land became dense farmland. In the old pulpit hall of the Temple of the Earth, the trembling old priest stood on the front pulpit, chanting Denya's ode aloud in a slow voice, and the old man didn't even need to open his eyes to look at the scriptures on the table, every word in the ode seemed to be deeply imprinted in the old man's mind, and the ode blurted out with one mouth.

"Thank you to my Lord for the gift. Below, on the same old chairs, sat dozens of worshippers who had come to pray, and the worshippers dressed as peasants hung their heads reverently, drew regular squares on their chests, and whispered in response to the old priest's sermon.

"Say the Goddess, do not be afraid of the cold and the darkness, my children, and I will give you my bones so that you may have a safe place to dwell, so that you may be warm through the long dark nights and the cold winter. The old priest coughed lightly, but insisted on reading the sentence on the page clearly: "So the cave appeared in the mountains, and the people hid in the cave to fight the cold and the beasts. “

"Thank you to our Lord for your protection. The people listening to the sermon again whispered in response, and the deep response had a unique rhythm, which plunged the whole room into an indescribable religious atmosphere, in which even the most ordinary pan-believers would become more religious, and perhaps this was the basis for listening to the sermons of the clergy under the guidance of the church after the daily prayer meeting. An experienced and contagious clergy can use the most ordinary scripture recitation to gain more faith from the gods in place, while those who are less able to recite the scriptures are just reciting the scriptures, not only will they not have any other gains, but they will even have the opposite effect.

"Praise be to our Lord, we will prostrate at the feet of our Lord, bathed in the glory of our Lord at all times, and offer our eternal loyalty to our Lord, and we will ......"

Unbeknownst to the prayerful faithful, the small door on the side of the pulpit hall opened silently, and the old nun poked her head out for a moment, beckoned to Lina and Pannis, who were standing in the back row, and motioned for them to enter the apse of the temple. Lina nodded, took Pannith in her arms, and quietly entered the apse under the gaze of the other Earth God clergy.

The old nun slowly closed the side door, looked at the priest girl with unconcealable joy, and made sure that the priest girl was normal and did not have any obvious injuries on her body, and then raised her finger and made a silent motion, pointing to the depths of the apse. Lina knew that because the temple was too old, the soundproofing of the evangelistic hall was not very good, and if you talked here, a little louder would affect the evangelistic meeting outside, so the two of them followed behind the old nun without saying a word, shuttling between the rooms in the apse.

"You're finally back, my boy. After leaving the pulpit, the old nun finally couldn't help but stop, turned around and hugged the priest girl, and said in a trembling voice: "Knowing that you are going to such a terrible place to adventure, we are simply worried about your safety all the time, thinking of those vicious monsters and inhuman undead

"Aunt Elisa, you're exaggerating. Lina was held in the arms of the old nun, and said with a smile: "I am a legendary-level adventurer, how can I be as weak as you think, and I have sisters who fight side by side, and ...... Pannis, no matter how strong the enemy is, he can't hurt me. ”

"So what. The old nun held Lina's face and fiddled from side to side, as if to repeatedly observe whether she was injured or not, and muttered in her mouth: "When I first met you a few years ago, a slightly louder voice would startle you, as long as someone approached a distance of two meters around you, you would put on an attacking appearance, just like a little mouse that had just left the cave, or now, you will laugh, and you will talk to others, Denya bless, I can see you grow up to this point, Ankawa and I can finally rest assured." ”

"Aunt Elisa. The expression on Lina's face slowly became gentle, and she snuggled into the arms of the old nun, and said softly: "I'm sorry for worrying you in the past few years, and when this incident passes, I will stay in the Holy Capital for a few more days and accompany you and Uncle Ankawa well." ”

"No, no, your business is more important, as long as we know that you are safe, we are satisfied. A happy smile appeared on the old nun's wrinkled face, and she said with her mouth closed: "The news from the general meeting has come back, and you and your sister have finally ......."

"Well, I finally admitted my mistake to my sister, and we reconciled. Lina smiled and nodded vigorously: "After a while, I will find an opportunity to secretly pull my sister over here, so that you two can meet her, she looks like me, you will definitely like her." ”

"Did you just meet your sister?" the old nun glanced at Pannis with a strange look, and whispered in her ear to the priest girl, "Are you going to perform a ceremony with him?"

"Aunt Elisa, what are you talking about? Lina's white cheeks instantly flushed, and she fled from the old nun's arms and stammered, "How can such an important ceremony be held now, without what you think." ”

"Well, is it just a matter of the moment? Yes, I haven't received the blessing of my lord yet. Mother Alyssa smiled meaningfully at Pannis, and her scrutinizing gaze made Pannis's whole body as uncomfortable as grass, and after a long time, she temporarily let go of Pannis, who felt that she had become a prairie, and pushed behind the priest's maiden, urging: "Then what are you waiting for, my child, take him to the prayer room, blame me for stopping you, really, you don't know what you are anxious about now." ”

"I'm not in a hurry. Lina blushed, bit her lip in disgust, and said, "And I didn't come to receive the blessing of my lord, I just pulled him to pray with me." ”

"Yes, yes, there is nothing wrong. The old nun said strangely, "We all know, En, so go quickly." ”
