After seeing the appearance of the visitor, Miss Rabbit suddenly had a sense that something was wrong.

It's as if a small trader was caught by a tax officer on the spot when she was evading taxes, and her first reaction was to want to slip away, but the place where she was sitting was too conspicuous.

It would be too much to run now, and it would be disrespectful to the actors who were performing seriously on stage, so the girl could only stubbornly say, "High Priest Martina, long time no see." ”

"Actually, it's not too long, just a year ago, I gave you a lesson."

"Hahaha...... Oh, yes. Miss Rabbit laughed dryly, unable to speak, "High Priest Martina, how is your health?" ”

"It's okay, there's still a few years to live."

"How is it possible, you are only more than two hundred years old, at least you can live another hundred years."

Martina glanced at Ilea, but didn't answer her again, and suddenly said, "Adele is with you now." ”

"Uh......"

"With that child's personality and relationship with you, he will definitely find a way to help you when you are in trouble."

"Adele did come to me." The girl admitted.

"Is she still in your castle?"

"No, she doesn't want to come in, she keeps saying that her life is over when she comes to me, and she can't bother me anymore."

"Are you resentful of the Church's treatment of her?"

"Nope."

Ilea paused, "Well, it's a little ...... No, it's actually quite a lot, I think the church's approach is quite chilling, you should know very well that it was not her fault to lose that competition, in fact, anyone who comes over, against Merlin is sure to lose.

"The church is reluctant to send those famous priests to challenge Merlin in a dignified manner, so let Adele, who has just become a priest, come forward to test Merlin's depth for you, with all due respect, which is actually quite shameless.

"Adele is my best friend, I understand her very well, she is not the kind of person who wants to win by any means, you arranged for her to make a thousand, and afterwards blamed her for all the faults, ruined her life, and picked herself clean, which is not only shameless, but also disgusting!"

Miss Rabbit finished speaking in one breath, only to feel refreshed.

Looking at the High Priest Martina on the side, there was a look of relief on her face, "These words have been holding back in your heart for a long time." ”

"Hmm......" The girl was a little confused about the number of roads on the other side.

"It's not just Adele's matter, but also the previous attack on your territory by the lizardmen, and the dragon that ravaged the West not long ago, the church didn't do much, and you were disappointed."

Ilea shook her head, "I've actually figured it out these days, the church doesn't have an army in its hands, and there are many times when it really can't help much. ”

"Then do you know why the Silvermoon Church doesn't have its own army?" Martina asked rhetorically.

"It is said that this is an agreement between the Silvermoon Church and the lords of the Western Realm, and this agreement should have been in place a long time ago if I remember correctly."

"That's right, the high priest of Kaokas believed that the main duty of the clergy should be to save lives, not to take them."

"But the enemy has hit the door, and if you don't fight back, it's a dead end." Miss Rabbit felt that she should still have a say in this matter.

"That's why there are lords in the West, and the great families will raise their armies to provide protection for their people." Martina said, "You see, Ilea, the goddess has her own plans for us. ”

“…………”

"I don't think it's a big problem for the church to form its own army, and I wouldn't have survived this crisis without the help of Merlin and the Shuangxiu Church."

"You're too kind kid, maybe that's why Merlin chose you." Martina sighed, "Because he knows very well that what he wants can't be obtained from other lords." ”

"So that's what you're here for, High Priest Martina, to sow discord between me and Merlin?" A wary look appeared on the girl's face, "I'm sorry to disappoint you, I trust Merlin as much as I believe in myself." ”

"It seems that Merlin Prophet must be a very attractive person, but it makes me more and more curious about him, why didn't he come to Rock Snow City with you this time?"

"Merlin, he's on vacation. This was the precept of the Double-Rest religion, and he was also to follow it as a prophet. ”

"yes, that's a pity, I would have liked to meet him." Martina said, "I can understand the bond that you and Merlin have forged through shared suffering. ”

"Great, you can save your energy." Having said that, the girl simply stopped hiding it, "Actually, I will become a believer on Saturday in a while, I'm not saying that the goddess is not good enough, but I think I may still be more suitable for the other side." ”

"Have you really figured it out, this is not your business alone, it will also affect your family and future generations." The old man looked at the girl.

Her words did arouse the last trace of doubt in the female lord's heart, Ilea believed Li Yu, but the girl did not know if her descendants could be as good as her and Li Yu in their relationship with the other prophets of the Shuangxiu Sect.

Who can really say what will happen in the future?

Martina's voice continued, "Although you don't want to call me a teacher anymore, I still remember the girl who studied in the temple, the girl who believed in Picia wholeheartedly.

"Like all old things, the church certainly has its faults, and the passage you scolded before is what I wanted to scold, but luckily we still have the time and opportunity to fix it.

"If you still want to return to the arms of the goddess, the church is willing to grant you the status of high priest."

"High priest?" Ilea was taken aback, "Isn't there only a total of seven high priests in the Silver Moon Church, is someone not there?" ”

"No, the church intends to set up another high priest position, this eighth high priest can not participate in the affairs of the church on weekdays, but he has the right to supervise the church, if there is any objection to a priest or something, he can initiate an investigation, and everyone, including other high priests, must cooperate unconditionally."

"But I am a lord, can a lord also be a high priest? There has never been such a precedent before. ”

"No, but there is a first time for everything, and there has been discussion within the church that with your current prestige in the West, you can also serve as the high priest."

"In addition, the church is now starting to examine itself and correct the mistakes it made before, including Adele's case, and soon her reputation will be restored."

"Besides, as long as you are willing to nod, we will also build a temple on your territory and store a holy artifact there, so that a large number of believers will rush to make a pilgrimage there, and you can also take the opportunity to attract some people to settle in the green fields, which should be easy for you now.

"In this way, you can build a city nearby in a few decades, and you don't have to worry too much about the funds for building the city, the Silver Moon Church is willing to sponsor half of it."
