Led by the gray-robed elders, the morning prayers in the chapel went smoothly.

Ronald followed the other monks and learned the movements decently. On the surface, he looked like a nun, with a holy expression, as if he were really one of the monks present.

Only a little flaw.

Ronald stared at the pair of eyes in which he held his hands, and the brilliance of planning was flowing.

After another complex and solemn group prayer, the voices of the crowd subsided.

The gray-robed elder spoke again:

"Stay quiet—"

"Ponder—"

“……”

The chapel fell silent at once.

No one made the slightest noise.

The instruments played in the ear chamber also ended at this moment in a fitting way.

——

The solemn and sacred atmosphere was maintained for a quarter of an hour.

Then, under the proclamation of the gray-robed elders, the morning prayers of the first group of people of the day ended.

The clergy of the chapel rose one after another.

A small number left through the small door on the right side of the church, as if something needed to be confessed; Most of the people slowly left the venue through the main entrance, and the whole scene was orderly, quiet and harmonious.

Among them, Ronald and Afra naturally followed the majority to leave.

Walking out of the chapel, the little nun also wanted to invite Ronald to join her.

But at this moment, Ronald already had a plan, so he politely declined the other party's invitation.

After the separation, Ronald had a clear goal and kept moving.

Leaving the chapel, he left the convent straight from the convent and hurried in the direction of the Basilica of Saint-Alan.

On the way, Ronald did not forget to observe the condition of the Holy Capital.

In the midst of the temple trials, the prosperity of the once holy capital unfolded in front of him. People live and work here in peace and contentment.

But there is something special about it.

Although the faces of the few high-ranking and powerful people that Ronald saw were kind, there was a trace of sorrow at the bottom of his eyes.

No surprises.

Now their god is gone.

Many plans are underway to save the church itself, but they are not progressing smoothly.

"This time...... I shouldn't have a problem with my thoughts. ”

This discovery made Ronald even more convinced of his plan.

It didn't take long.

He gradually detached himself from the area where ordinary people operated.

The area where St. Ellen Cathedral is located is the work place of theological researchers, and it is rarely accessible to ordinary people, but fortunately, Ronald has the status of a hermitage monk, so it is unimpeded.

Fast-track entry to St. Alan's Cathedral.

He followed the directions he remembered to the backyard, with an anxious look on his face, and kept moving around.

The form Ronald wants to maintain is simple.

He wasn't going to be too proactive, but wanted someone to come and ask him about it.

"Lili, why did you get here?"

Sure enough.

Only a few minutes passed, and a voice stopped him.

After all, an anxious-looking nun is pacing here, and it is really a picture that can be easily spotted.

And a little more pleasing to Ronald.

Judging from the other party's title, the person who called him is still familiar with the person who replaced him, otherwise it would be impossible to say this nickname in one mouth.

Ronald was overjoyed and hurriedly stepped forward.

After looking at the middle-aged mother who stopped him, he showed a hesitant expression:

"I ...... There's one thing I don't know whether to say or not. ”

When Mama saw Ronald's appearance, she immediately showed a distressed expression, and reached out to gently hug his shoulder:

"Tell me, kid."

"......" Ronald was silent, fully showing the tangle he wanted to show.

Seeing this, the middle-aged grandmother felt even more pity for the girl in front of her.

She went one step further, took Ronald directly in her arms, and reached out to stroke the long hair behind his back:

"Don't be afraid, child."

"In the light of faith, nothing evil can hurt you."

At this time, Ronald continued to speak:

"I ...... This morning in the church of the monastery I heard about something. It seems that a few strangers who have never seen it before suddenly appeared, and someone happened to hear it...... Hear them saying something profane! ”

"Blasphemy?" Hearing this word, the face of the grandmother who hugged Ronald changed.

in the sphere of influence of the Church.

Especially in the Holy Capital!

If there is an incident related to the word 'blasphemy', it is indescribable arrogance!

Mama's voice became muffled:

"Kid, what are they talking about?"

"I didn't see it with my own eyes." Ronald continued, "However, most of the people in the monastery are silent, and I don't know who to speak. I...... I don't think there should be silence on this matter, but the monastery is not the place to deal with it. They, they seem to be talking about words like 'artificial gods'......"

“！！！”

Ronald deliberately didn't make his words clear, and he wanted to continue to make up some words.

But after hearing the word 'artificial deity' from his mouth, the middle-aged nun's movements of hugging his body immediately changed from soft to hard.

After a while, Ronald heard a voice in front of him that was obviously pretending to be calm:

"Child, forget what you heard and saw today, and go back to the monastery now."

"Anyone who blasphemes the gods will be punished as it deserves."

Ronald nodded in agreement, and this development was most in line with his expectations.

Then Mama didn't bother to comfort the young nun in front of her, turned around and walked into the depths of the cathedral.

Ronald watched the other depart, nodding in satisfaction.

The situation was going according to his plan, and it was time for him to leave the Cathedral of St. Alan.

There are two important pieces of information in the news just revealed.

The first is strangers.

In the context of a monastery, this means that there are intruders hiding there.

And the second, and most important, is the 'man-made gods'.

The reason why Ronald came to St. Ellan Cathedral was specially arrived.

It is because the very matter of the man-made Godhead is a very important secret in the church.

Such reports are placed elsewhere.

The clergy may understand the blasphemy of this, but they are not aware of its fundamental subversiveness.

There is also only the Cathedral of St. Alan, the place where the artificial godhead was made.

Only the clergy who work here can realize the true importance of this message.

Now it seems that the church is taking this matter seriously.

The encirclement and suppression of the five [Nine Rings Secret Society] spell casters will begin soon.

And in the midst of this ancient sacred city......

Escape or something, don't even think about it.

The only thing worth thinking about is how long those five guys will be able to hold out under the pursuit of the clergy.

Completed their own plans.

It wasn't until Ronald left St. Alan's Cathedral that a distinct smile appeared on his face.

However, he did not return to the monastery.

Although the middle-aged nun had shown her intention to protect him just now, it was better to be cautious at this critical moment.

So it doesn't matter if it's St. Alan's Cathedral or the Hermitage.

He didn't want to stay in either of the places where the two churches were about to take action.

"The rest is the temple trial......"

As Ronald strolled through the Holy Capital, he naturally began to think of his own way out of this trial.

- Temple Trials.

As the name suggests, this place must be related to the temple.

And the most famous shrine in the entire Holy Capital is definitely the well-deserved cathedral in the Central District.

Ronald silently looked at the location in the center of the Holy Capital.

As soon as the body turned, there was a new goal.
