Why did Anne go to church so well? I saw her looking through the priesthood books just now, and now she was holding the Holy Scriptures, which was an enlightenment reading for the Goddess of Light, and a book that every believer must carry with her.

Alice stretched out her little hand to take Anne's hand, nodded to her, and said, "Yes, Sister Anne, Daddy has always believed in the teachings of the goddess of light, and I often visit church with him, where I have always prayed to the goddess that everyone can live happily!"

From last night's dinner with Mr. Decon, when he prayed to the goddess of light, I could see that he was a devout believer, after all, he was a businessman, somewhat superstitious, and hoped that the goddess would bless him with smooth business and rich money, right? If all this is gone, and people live in peace from now on, won't the garrison and our mercenaries all be unemployed? But I still don't know why Anne suddenly wants to go to church, you know, I'm an atheist, although our domestic law stipulates freedom of religious belief, you can believe in religion if you want, you can believe in it if you don't believe in it, no one will force you, but when we were students in the security school, the professors often told us to believe in materialism, to believe that man will conquer heaven, our world can be explained by knowledge, religious believers are either ignorant or seek psychological comfort, and people who really learn more knowledge understand that people will not believe in religion, so most of us young people are atheists, especially those who do our mercenary business, only rely on their own strength to survive, do you still pray to the goddess at the critical moment and beg her to save your life?

Anyway, we all walked into the church with Alice and Anne. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 The inside of the info church is quite spacious, and as soon as you enter the door, you can see a high platform built in front of it, which is about two meters high from the ground. The high platform is relatively dim around it, there is a goddess statue on the high platform, the shape is still the same as the goddess statue we saw outside the church before, but this "goddess" seems to be made of translucent material, and the body is also equipped with a luminous device, the halo on her head emits a pale yellow light, her right hand emits red light, her left hand is blue light, and under her feet is a green light, and the whole statue emits a bright white light, looking from afar, it really looks like the "goddess of light".

"Actually, the statue of the goddess on the top of the church can also emit light, but it is daytime and there is no effect, and at night you will see the beautiful figure of the goddess of light in mid-air. Alice said to us.

After all, this is the capital, and the churches built are so careful, unlike the Salem province where we lived before, there are only a few ordinary small churches, and there is no such creative design, and in the oasis of Pazm Province, there are no churches at all, only some preachers distribute leaflets outside, and if you want to pray to the goddess, you can only do it at home.

There were benches neatly laid out under the high platform of the church, and there were already many people sitting in the front row, most of them gray-haired old people like Harvey, some middle-aged, and there were very few young people like us.

We sat down in a row in the middle of the church, when a priest in a white robe came up to the high platform and said to everyone in the church in a low voice: "Thank you to the goddess of light for her patronage, so that we can live in this peaceful and beautiful age! Everything withered, people of different races and other creatures struggled to survive in a treacherous environment like ants, the jungle preyed on the strong, savagely killed, and tragedies were constantly staged in all corners of the continent, until the arrival of the goddess... The goddess brought light to the mainland, she made the heavens and the earth calm and peaceful, she taught people of different races to be tolerant and friendly, she selflessly gave us her own power, so that we have magic and machinery... The Goddess gave us all that she had because of her selfless love, and when everything on the continent was in order, she returned to heaven and disappeared into the stars of the night, leaving only the dazzling white light for her people to look upon day and night..."

I was almost asleep listening to it, this passage was really long enough, I forced myself to fall asleep, turned my head to look around, Emma and Alan had fallen asleep together, and Link was clasping his hands on his chest, shaking his legs impatiently, I guess I couldn't listen to it! But Anne listened very carefully, she also opened the "Holy Book" in her hand, and while listening to it, she looked at the words on it, it was like a class! Neil also listened attentively, for him, a scholar, he should be interested in anything. Harvey and Alice were listening to the priest with a pious face, and it seemed that Harvey was also deeply influenced by Mr. Daken!

"Hmm~" I stretched and said to myself, "It's so boring!"

"Please don't say that, big brother Chris, it's rude for you to behave like this!" said Alice to me in a serious manner.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Alice, but I'm an atheist, and I'm not interested in that!" I scratched my head and said to Alice.

"It may seem ridiculous to you that we believe in the Goddess of Light, but how can you be sure that the Goddess of Light doesn't exist?" Alice asked me.

She asked me, yes, what proof do I have to prove that the goddess really doesn't exist?

"In any case, as long as we have enough knowledge to explore the world more comprehensively and deeply, we will definitely know that the goddess does not exist! Everything can be explained by reasonable knowledge! Why believe in the so-called gods?" I began to refute Alice with what the teacher had said at school.

"How long do you think it will take to give a reasonable explanation for everything? Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of years? You know, this 'disappearing history' alone has not been explained for hundreds of years, and how many wise men and masters have made countless efforts in vain during this period! Also, do you know when we were able to use magic? We historians don't even know when the magic guide appeared, do you think we were born to use magic? It's like it came out of nowhere, we don't know who made it and when, can you figure it out? And how much do you know about the world outside of our continent? Some of it can't be explained by knowledge at all!"

Alice's barrage of questions completely blinded me, yes, I am only a small life, if there really is a god watching me from heaven, what difference am I from ants? I know a lot about the world around me, can I claim that this is all there is to the whole world? It's ridiculous!

"Of course, I don't have any evidence to prove that the goddess really exists in this world, but at the very least, we all have to have a little fear, or awe, and now we are still frogs at the bottom of the well, and we can't see the whole picture of this world at all. Today, many people do things without a bottom line, just like what happened to me yesterday, why can those bad people kill so many innocent people as if nothing happened? It is because they are people without faith, without the so-called awe, and it is impossible to completely and completely solve similar incidents by law or violence alone, only when everyone follows the teachings of the goddess of light, truly believes from the bottom of their hearts and puts them into action, can we truly build a peaceful and beautiful world!" Alice is worthy of being a top student of history, usually a weak little girl, but now she talks with a serious face, but her speech is much better than that priest, and all of us are attracted to her, even Link no longer shakes his legs, pinched his chin and listens to her carefully, but Emma and Alan still sleep soundly, and are not disturbed by her at all.

"This little girl is quite reasonable, hehe~" Suddenly, an old voice sounded behind us, we looked back, I don't know when sat a kind old lady in the seat behind us, she was wearing a pair of reading glasses, looking at us with a smile, and looking at her dress, she should be a clergyman, but it is different from the clothes worn by priests or nuns in the church, and there are many blue patterns on her white robes.

"I'm sorry to overhear your conversation, but it's rare for young people like you to come here together, so I'm keeping an eye on it. When I heard this little girl's words just now, I couldn't help but want to praise her, hehe!" said the old lady with a smile.

"Chief Priest Maria, so you are here, and the nuns of the chapel are waiting for you to give a lecture!" At this time, a young nun hurriedly ran over to the old lady and said, I really didn't expect her to be a chief priest, this is a high-ranking member of the clergy, above the priests!

"Oh, okay, okay, I'll be here, hehe, I just wanted to go outside and breathe by the way, but I didn't expect to come here, I'm so embarrassed!" said the old lady to the nun who had come running, and turned and walked towards the gate of the church.

"Please wait a minute, Master Maria!" Anne suddenly stood up and called out to the old lady.

"What is the matter, girl?" asked Anne with a smile on her face.

"I want to ask how I can become a clergyman, but I don't want to go into the church just yet, I want to travel with my companions... That's right, my former companion died of corpse poison, and I want to work hard to become a nun and learn the holy healing techniques of the clergy, so that the tragedy of my companion will not be repeated!" Anne said to the chief priest Maria.

I see, it turns out that Anne has always had a grudge against Bud's death, and it seems that she thinks that if she knew how to "heal the saint" at that time, Bud would not have chosen the path of self-sacrifice because she couldn't remove the corpse poison... No wonder she bought "The Temple" in the bookstore and asked to come to the church, she wanted to become a clergyman to prevent the tragedy of Bard from repeating itself!

"Hehe, it's actually very simple, of course it's not that easy to do... Little girl, get rid of the distractions in your heart, just think about how to save a dying life, don't care about winning or losing, don't care about love and hate, don't care about life and death, learn to treat every life with the heart of the goddess and fraternity, so that you can enter the realm of the clergy even if you don't have to enter the church to practice, and save every life you want to save. The old lady spoke slowly, leaving Anne and us in deep thought, and turned away...
