Gentile (thanks to the Alliance Leader Snow Bread)

No one knows where she came from, and her appearance is like a mystery.

At first, people simply called her a foreigner, a uniform name for the unfamiliar faces of the natives of the continent of Bratis.

But soon, some people noticed that she was different.

She claims that she worships a god named Vallia and that she is a priest of Valria.

There was nothing strange about it up to this point, for most of the strangers who came to this continent had strange beliefs.

Even the local gods of the continent of Brattis migrated from elsewhere with their followers, if you really want to go back further.

The sects that have survived to this day have all established themselves and have a fixed number of followers, who have basically divided up the population of the continent.

As a result, it was difficult for latecomers to get soup again.

Before the priestess came to Brattis, there were actually quite a few people who had had made similar attempts, but without exception, they all failed.

Some of them have become the after-dinner jokes of the locals, and some have never heard of their names at all.

So when the priestess declared her intention to spread the divine grace of the goddess of life on the land, most people were ready to see the joke.

Soon, however, she had her first follower by her side.

It was a boy named Ash, only fourteen years old, with a thin build, but with wolf-like eyes.

It is said that he was captured from deep in the mountains by a slave trader, and when the merchant found him, he was in the wolf's den, sleeping with a group of wolf cubs.

At first, the merchant thought he had picked up a good product, because although the young man in front of him was thin, he was agile and had half-orc blood, but he did not belong to any family.

But soon he regretted it, because he found that the boy couldn't even speak the lingua franca of the mainland, and he had an inexplicable hostility towards humans, even if he was beaten and bruised, he still couldn't learn to obey.

No one would want such a slave. In the end, the merchant had no choice but to put him in an iron cage and throw him aside.

Some of the customers who were originally interested in him also discouraged the idea of buying after hearing about his situation, even if the merchant's asking price was only three silver coins, less than half that of an ordinary slave girl.

It wasn't until the priestess passed by the boy that she stopped abruptly, and then put one of her hands into the iron cage despite the merchant's dissuasion.

The boy's eyes were full of alertness, and a low whimper came out of his throat, like an enraged beast.

The priestess's voice was extremely soft, "It's okay, relax, I'm not your enemy." ”

The boy couldn't understand her, but the beast's instincts told him that the human in front of him was different from the others he had met before.

She is warm and intimate, like the soft belly of a she-wolf.

So the boy did not resist, and let her put his hand on his cheek.

"Let me see what happened to you." The priestess said, and then she took out another sachet she had brought with her and shook it under the boy's nose.

After a moment, the priestess withdrew her hand, her eyes full of sympathy.

"Poor boy." She turned to the merchant and said, "Open the cage, I bought this slave." ”

It's nice to have a fool willing to take over the slave trader, but he has been doing business around here, and he has to take care of his reputation, so he reminded him, "This guy is very fierce, I open the cage, beware of him rushing out and attacking people." ”

The priestess said, "It doesn't matter, he's my first believer in this land, and I can guarantee that he won't attack anyone." ”

As she spoke, the priestess took out three silver coins and handed them to the merchant.

The merchant found that it was not the common currency on the continent of Brattis, but in Cape Crab, he had long been accustomed to such things, and after weighing it, he found that the weight was quite sufficient, so he let people open the iron cage.

The iron cage opened a small crack, and the boy immediately jumped out of it, and then bared his teeth at the slave trader, and pounced.

"You don't seem to have a name," said the priestess, "I'll call you Ash henceforth, for you have gray ears, and don't hurt the others, or the guards will arrest you." ”

The next moment something magical happened again, and the boy, as if he had understood her words, put away his teeth and his fierce eyes, and obediently followed behind the priestess.

The people around couldn't help but be amazed when they saw this scene.

However, the priestess's bulging money bag also fell into the eyes of those who had a heart, a foreigner, rich and a woman, would always be particularly dazzling.

The sneaky figures followed her, hoping to wait until there were fewer people to do it.

But the priestess made her way to a tavern.

Just as the little tails hiding in the shadows wondered if she was going to go inside to ensure her safety, the priestess turned and smiled behind her.

"Come in too, I'll invite you to this meal." With that, she pushed the door open and walked in.

Pickpockets and thieves, you look at me, I look at you, and the last one dared to follow, and some set an example, and the rest did the same.

As a result, by the time they came out again, they had all become believers in Valria.

From this day on, Cornelia and the goddess of life behind her began to be known to more and more people.

But apparently not everyone is happy to see this happen.

As mentioned before, there are actually major denominations in every city of Brattis.

So someone privately contacted the most notorious mercenary in the city at that time, the Earth Bear, through an intermediary, hoping to get rid of this hidden danger.

The Earth Bear was very quick to receive the deposit, and arrived at the inn where Cornelia was staying at night, but he did not come out again.

It was not until the next morning that the people were surprised to find that the priestess had another hot-tempered but loyal bodyguard by her side.

At this time, Cornelia's name spread completely, and the priests of the other churches hated and feared her, fearing that their followers would be snatched away by her.

However, no one knew that the priestess's heart was long gone, and Cornelia looked west, in the direction of Lionheart's Castle, where she knew was the center of politics and power of the Empire.

As long as you take it, soon the people of this continent will believe in the goddess of life.

That's what she's really here for.

And Cornelia was close to achieving it, if the WingClans hadn't invaded Brattis after that.

With Edward II poisoned, the priestess's hard work in the royal capital was in vain, and she had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, choosing to continue to assist Allister.

This time, however, her opponent was the Prophet of Merlin, who was a stranger like her.

Cornelia thought that she had taken Li Yu seriously enough, but when Cornelia easily defeated the black hand with lightning speed and recovered the Golden Valley, the priestess realized that she did not know anything about this opponent.

And the situation could be worse than she expected.

Cornelia was still thinking about how to defeat the powerful enemy, but Ash brought back a new news - the prophet Merlin wanted to negotiate with her.

Although Cornelia didn't know what Li Yu wanted to talk to her, since the other side had put the ashes back, she naturally had to release some kindness.

So the priestess heard one of the most absurd and terrifying stories she had ever heard in her life.

However, her intuition told her that all this was true, and that the person on the other side was not lying.

The most important thing is that she can't find a reason for the man to lie.

After several nights of struggling with her thoughts, Cornelia finally decided to meet the man, and if Merlin was willing to open up to her, the priestess would be able to determine whether what he said was true or false.

As a result, this meeting completely changed the priestess's life and destroyed all of her previous plans.

Cornelia then joins Li Yu's plan, accepts the latter's offer, converts to Saturday, openly declares that the goddess of life is the incarnation of Saturday, and abandons Allister in favor of Ilea as emperor.

Li Yu paid her permission to use Saturday to collect faith.

From that moment on, there was no more Cornelia priest in the world, but a female Hugh with the Christian name Moira.
