Chapter 249, the lord's loving embrace
The centaur recounted his own suffering.
It turned out that after more than ten years in the Holy See, because of her outstanding performance and pious faith, she finally waited for the favor of the Pope.
She was eventually chosen as one of the three archbishop candidates, with the opportunity to enter the top of the core of the Holy See.
Before entering the core layer, one of the most important tests is to enter the closed room and accept the spiritual rebuke from the abyss of pain.
Olivia didn't know if the other two candidates had suffered the same as herself, but the information she had received in the hermetic room was terrifying!
Centaurs feel that the education and worldview they received in the first half of their lives have been completely turned upside down! The Holy See actually breeds demons!
The person in charge of interrogating her in the closed room is an evil eye demon in the shape of a huge eyeball!
This demon has the ability to invade the human mind. It's not very aggressive, but it can reveal the deepest corners of your heart! It's like a ransack in the human brain.
It is able to thoroughly test whether the candidate is completely loyal to the Most High God and obeys God's will.
But Olivia was extremely resistant to the demon's incursion. She has a very strong holy light spell attainment, and if she deliberately resists, the evil eye will not be able to invade her mind.
Eventually, the centaur, who couldn't stand being corrupted by evil, slew the evil eye demon by mistake.
However, after the old Pope appeared, not only did he not explain why there were demons in the closed room, but he severely reprimanded Olivia.
But then the old pope slowed down, and on the surface he kindly let the centaur follow him into the upper echelons of the church.
There, the old Pope has a showdown with the centaurs and makes her choose. Do you continue to spread the gospel of God according to God's will, or become a heretic and be obliterated by the Holy See!
Olivia couldn't believe what she was seeing or hearing at that moment! She thought it wasn't true, she must be dreaming!
But the subsequent ambush made her realize that it was all true... Those I experienced more than ten years ago are the mirror....
This pain... Let the centaurs be mortally attacked, both physically and mentally!
She relied on her body's instinct to fight back, and used what she had learned to break through the encirclement and interception of the Holy See.
The Centaur fled to the edge of a cliff in the Sea of Zoro, where he was knocked into the sea by the hammer of the Divine Light of his pursuers.
She didn't understand how the members of the Knights Templar who had fought alongside her in the past could kill her in the blink of an eye!? No regard for old friendships!
And among these people who attacked Olivia, there is clearly a paladin who has been pursuing the centaur for a long time!
When he did it to the goddess he had pursued, he didn't show any softness! Even the Divine Hammer attack, which finally knocked the centaur into the sea, was sent by this person....
It's just that the thousands of people don't know what shit luck they have taken, or if they shouldn't have died. In the rough and dangerous Solo Sea, he was able to drift to the Lane continent on the other side of the sea without incident, and was picked up by Klose.
Klose looked at the pale centaur and didn't let her continue.
He knew that it would take a lot of courage to open the scars that had already grown, and that the pain of facing a past that he did not want to face was comparable to physical pain.
The little lord reached out and patted the centaur on the shoulder, and then smoothed her hair that fell from her sideburns, and looked at his chief knight in distress.
Klose thinks that the centaur seems to be strong and strong, but in fact she may be in need of a loving hug right now.
Klose didn't think much of it, just hugged his centaur knight in his arms, patted the other man's back gently, and gently stroked the other's hair all the way.
He wanted to bring some comfort to the other party through his not thick chest.
Olivia, who was able to choose to tell this past, had already let it go. She found new hope and a purpose of allegiance in Klose. She also understands that even the demon clan is not entirely evil. The little maid in front of her is very revealing, and Olivia likes little Lisa very much. The girl was simply shy and polite. Not at all like a heinous demon!
But on the other hand, he looked at the Holy See where he was before..... They did not hesitate to use the succubus to kill the lord's father, and also tried to usurp the country, and then occupy the entire Lane Continent!
This is not at all the ambition and lust for power that a god-believing Holy See should show. Could it be that what she learned from the clergy textbooks in her youth was a joke?
He remembered every word of the Paladin's Code clearly. As a paladin, as a clergyman of the Holy See, you must abide by your duties, be strict with yourself, help the weak, and have good thoughts! Could it be that these are just jokes to deceive them?
But it wasn't until the paladin met the High Priest of Ova that Olivia learned in a casual conversation with the High Priest that even though there are many gods in the world and the clergy are divided into many religions and factions, he believes that the clergy of all religions should have the same ultimate goal of faith!
That is to lead the confused to hope!
Just like Klose is doing now, so many races can live peacefully in the same land, it's a dream utopia! It's an incredibly harmonious world! is the ultimate goal that every clergy should pursue!
"With great love, harmony and nature."
These are the last eight words that the old man of the Great Priest gave to the centaur, and let her experience the rest on her own.
I have to say that the Grand Priest of Ova is not only highly accomplished in light spells, but also has a good understanding of the special profession of clergy! It is no wonder that he has survived three generations of Holger kings without falling, and he is also one of the most respected old men in the royal capital.
Klose even said that "there is an old man in the family who is like a treasure", and now there are not only two "Erxi" babies in his territory, but now there is a bigger treasure of the Great Priest of Ova! Then it is difficult for your own territory to develop well.
Suddenly, perhaps Olivia's divergent thoughts had returned to her mind. At this moment, she realized that she was still being held in the arms of the lord.... And her own hands were also wrapped around Klose's body at some point. The posture of the two is a little ambiguous...
Although it was a pure hug of the heart, the softness in front of the centaur was squeezed and deformed because of this hug. Her face flushed slightly, and she hurriedly let go of Klose, taking a step back and bending down.
"Your Excellency.... That's how things develop. I've seen in the library inside the cathedral that a situation like Little Lisa's is clearly the blood of a high-ranking demon flowing through her body. But from her usual life and body, she doesn't feel a trace of the breath of the demons, so I have reason to suspect that she should be a joint product of humans and demons. ”
"Half-Blood Demon?"
Klose came to such a conclusion.
"So how do you wake up the little one?"
Olivia pursed her lips: "Actually.... My lord, the current situation is not how we make her wake up, but her own subconscious reluctance to wake up. Her physical injuries were not serious, and she did not suffer any internal injuries, so it stands to reason that she should have woken up a long time ago. But now there is only one possibility, that is, little Lisa herself is unwilling to wake up! She doesn't know how to face you, how to face everyone in the castle. ”
"Alas.... This girl! I didn't blame her at all. What race she was born into, or who she adopted, it wasn't up to her to decide!
And since she was sent to my side, she has never sent back a single useful message for Philip. This shows that Lisa's heart is towards me, and the reason why Philip's bastard broke her identity that day was obviously because he felt that this dark move was useless to him, and deliberately said it to disgust us! But I just didn't fall for him~~
Alas, forget it, since there is no good way, then we can only wait for this knot in her own heart to be untied. In the past few days, I have nothing to do with her, I will go to see her, tell her stories, maybe the little girl will wake up one day when she is happy? ”
Olivia couldn't help but smile as she looked at Klose, the prince who had no lordship.
"My lord.... With a lord like you, your people are the luckiest people in the whole continent. ”
Hearing the centaur's unprovoked compliment, Klose couldn't help but blush slightly.
"Hehe, that's what I'm supposed to do. Oh, by the way, I just remembered when you said that, I heard that the blacksmith shop had developed the latest type of musket? It's the kind of bullet I proposed. Clips can be changed quickly. ”
Hearing Klose talk about the musket, Olivia also said with a happy face: "Yes, my lord. Based on your ideas and sketches, the dwarves have developed an experiment!
It's just that there are still a few difficulties that have not yet been overcome. However, I believe that it will soon be able to be put into live-fire experiments! Once this kind of musket technology with rapid change of clips matures, the strength of the musket team in our territory will have a qualitative leap!
I believe that in the face of this intensive fire of repeating muskets, even the most elite heavy cavalry in the whole continent will be harvested in patches like wheat! The way the continent fights will be completely changed by your weapon! ”
Klose touched his nose, his expression was a little proud: "Hehe, this is nothing, what can really change the battlefield is the powerful cannon phalanx!" A baptism of fire from a distance can make the enemy completely crushed without seeing us. This kind of damage is not only physical, but also all-round destruction of the enemy's mental aspect! That's where we need to go. ”
