Hera stood in front of the huge cedar tree, carved with magical patterns that Adele couldn't understand.

Then Hera spoke something in a language that the former priest did not understand, and then a lizardman came out of the crowd in high spirits, came to her, and fell to one knee.

Hera put one hand on his shoulder, and the next moment it was clear that no one was playing, but there was an indescribable sound of grandiose music in the forest.

Melodious, magnificent!

It was so shocking to the ears of someone like Adele who knew music that she couldn't come back to her senses at the end of the song, until Hera coughed lightly, and the former priest woke up from a dream.

Hurriedly opened the morning light notebook in his hand, read out a name on it, and gently crossed out the name according to Hera's request.

Then Hera opened the bag beside her, took out a cyan ring from it, put it in the lizardman's hand, and said two more words to him.

The lizardman stood up from the ground with an excited face, raised the hand with the ring, and said a few words with a solemn expression.

After that, he gave way to the next lizardman, and the same process was repeated...... It was repeated hundreds of times.

Until the last lizardman also got the bracelet and name, and left happily.

Adele's body suddenly weakened, and she collapsed to the ground.

Hera thought that Adele had been standing for too long and her legs were numb, but when she stepped forward to check, she saw the panicked look on the face of the former priest.

"You, what ceremony were you just doing?!"

Adele had been in the Silvermoon Church for a short time before, and she was all too familiar with this kind of thing, but by the time she realized that something was wrong, it was too late.

The former priest remembered the agreement between himself and the little maid and Hera, and insisted on helping the latter to complete all the rituals, but when the rituals were over, she collapsed.

The thought of not only coming to the pagan territory as a follower of Pisia, but also participating in their rituals in a daze, Adele's nose was sore, and she couldn't help but want to cry again.

"It's the initiation ceremony of the Shuangxiu Sect." Hera was also relieved to see that the former priest was in good health.

Although she had already guessed the result, when the answer was revealed, Adele still suffered another heavy blow, and she only felt that everything was lost.

Because Li Yu felt that the initiation ceremony was too time-consuming, especially since there were more and more believers in the future, it was impossible for him to do it himself, so he first trained Hera to take over his class.

And the initiation ceremony has been perfected a bit, imitating the Young Pioneers to make an oath link, the nobles are not easy to say, but the ordinary civilians on the continent of Brattis still attach great importance to the oath made to the gods.

Therefore, these vows also have a certain binding effect on them, and they are bound to obey the precepts of the Church of Peace.

And the reason why Li Yu helped the lizards complete the initiation ceremony at this time was because this matter had been delayed for a long time, and secondly, seeing that the war with the giant dragon was about to start, Li Yu also hoped to use this move to boost some morale.

However, he didn't expect the little maid to successfully fish again, and lost the part of the work that should have belonged to her to Adele, causing the latter to inexplicably participate in and assist Hera in completing hundreds of rituals.

After that, the former priest only felt that he was dirty, betrayed the goddess from body to soul, and even came up with the idea of self-finishing.

Because she really couldn't think of any other way than to use this method to wash away the sins that were now on her body.

This is different from the previous time when she was regarded as a liar by the church and removed from the list, because even if she suffered a heavy setback and had no hope in life at that time, at least Adele herself knew that she was innocent, but this time, she did what the goddess did not allow.

So when Li Yu saw the former priest again, she was completely like a walking corpse.

Even Li Yu's arrival didn't make her get up from her chair.

Li Yu put down the bag of things in his hand, called the little maid who was about to slip away, and only knew what was going on when he asked, he remembered that just a few hours ago, when he set off from the teacup castle, Ilea solemnly begged him to help take care of Adele.

As a result, as soon as Li Yu came back, he found that the person had been played bad by Clara.

The little maid argued, "You can't blame me, as soon as she came, she clamored for me to find her a job, but her small body has no strength at first glance, and it is estimated that she can't do any physical work."

"She said that she would see a doctor, but her medical skills were not as good as yours, and now that the patients on the ground of the Order have been cured, and if you can't cure her, she will be even more useless, I think about it, and only this is the only job she can do. As a result, she didn't expect her to do this to herself. ”

Clara spreads her hands.

Li Yu looked at Adele, who had a dull and listless look, and turned her head to the little maid and said, "Send her back." ”

"Huh? But she said she had come all the way to help. ”

"She is the way she is, she can't do anything, and she may be in danger if she stays, and we don't have the extra people to take care of her."

"But...... She's been expelled from the church, and she's heard that her family doesn't accept her anymore, so even if she were sent back, she wouldn't have anywhere to go. Clara was still somewhat sympathetic to the former priest's plight.

However, Li Yu said, "That's her own business, and it has nothing to do with us." ”

"Ah, Merlin, why are you so cold all of a sudden!"

"People who can't withstand this setback will definitely be knocked down by more setbacks in the future, and they are destined to achieve nothing in the future, so let her rot like this." Li Yu said lightly.

"That's too much." The little maid protested.

"Do you know what kind of people I hate the most at work, not a fool who doesn't know anything, not a scheming villain, but the kind of rotten good person who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong, such a person thinks he is very principled, but in the end he can't do anything."

"No, it's not." Adele, who hadn't opened her mouth in the massage chair for a long time, suddenly said.

She bit her lip as if it had exhausted all her strength before she spat out the words, "Please, please let me stay, give me another chance, and I will prove my worth to you." ”

"Yes, it's not long before you're going to break down again, and it's the same if I'll send you away then." Li Yu didn't care.

The former priest quietly clenched his fists, but only silently endured someone's cynicism, and did not defend a word.

just stood up from the chair, bowed his head to Li Yu and said, "Please, please assign me a job, no matter what the job, I will not refuse." ”

"This is what you said, there is still a shortage of doctors in the territory who can complete daily diagnosis and treatment, especially when I am not there, and you will be responsible for this part of the work in the future.

"In addition, in the future, you will be screened for the Kingdom of God, and you will continue to be Hera's helper for the initiation ceremony...... How's that, what's the problem? ”

"No, no."

"Good. But don't worry, since you are in the territory of the Shuangxiu Church, there will still be a holiday on Saturdays and Sundays. ”

"I, I don't need to take a vacation!"

"I'm sorry, it's a precept, and everyone who lives in this land, including me, must follow it, and you're no exception, Clara, go find an empty room to house her."

After the little maid led the people away, Li Yu remembered the words that Elia had said to him before leaving.

"I know Adele best, she belongs to the type of soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, most of the time she looks soft and weak, and she is not very able to withstand pressure, the more you comfort her, the more she may doubt herself.

But when the pressure exceeds a certain limit, it will inspire her to resist and make her brave. Maybe she didn't even realize that she was actually a very conflicted person, how about it, is this news useful to you? ”

"Thank you." Li Yu said, "I already know how to treat her." ”
