Chapter 150: Tuya's whereabouts
Leah turned her head and found an old man in a gray robe appearing in the room without a word, he looked like a very ordinary old man, and there was no trace of spiritual power on his body, but there was a wise light in his eyes.
Leah naturally didn't think that this old man was an ordinary person, because when the other party appeared, she didn't feel the slightest trace of someone appearing, and this alone can show that this old man is definitely not an ordinary person.
"May I ask you, old man, ......" Leah tried to make her tone as respectful as possible, hoping to make a better first impression.
"Well, yes, and very polite," the old man nodded with satisfaction, "My name is Maklov, if you don't dislike it, you can call me Grandpa Mark." As for my identity, how about you guess?"
Leah didn't expect the other party to say this, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Grandpa Mark, I just came to Holy Spirit Island, and I don't know anything about this place, so I really can't guess your identity......"
"If you think about it, the answer is not difficult. Maklov said as he deliberately shook his gray robe.
Leah smiled bitterly when she saw this scene, and began to think, judging from the other party's actions, he was obviously reminding himself that this gray robe hinted at his identity from a certain angle, the Holy Spirit Cult has a clear identity division for all kinds of clergy, and during working hours, clergy must wear the prescribed uniform, so Maklov is definitely not a bishop-level person.
But judging from the costume, he should be the most ordinary clergyman, but Leah doesn't think this is the truth of the matter, after all, Marklov's strength is there.
If you think about it this way, there are two possible surnames left for his identity - he is a priest, or he is from the Temple of Light.
"I wonder if Grandpa Mark is a priest, or if he's from the Temple of Light?" Leah told her guess.
"Haha! That's right! You guessed it!" Marklov laughed, and then suddenly put away his smile, his expression became very serious, and the speed of turning his face was almost as fast as turning a book, because of this, Leah couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, and Erin on the side directly equated the title of Marklove with the old monster.
"I'm from the Temple of Light. "Maklov explained his identity.
When Leah heard this, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, now in the entire Holy Spirit God Cult, it can be said that only the Temple of Light is the power that truly belongs to her, she was still a little worried about whether there would be anything wrong with going to see the Pope like this, but now that the people of the Temple of Light are supporting her, she can also feel more at ease.
However, after reassuring, Leah's heart couldn't help but have a burst of resentment, if it wasn't for the Temple of Light who had been standing by and watching this time, she wouldn't have been so miserable, and most importantly, Tuya wouldn't have died to protect her.
"I guess you're very upset with us. Combining Leah's expression and what happened some time ago, Marklov immediately guessed her psychological condition.
"I don't understand why you still refuse to lend a hand when my identity is already certain, and if you do, how can Uncle Tuya die!" Leah tried to calm her mind, but her voice was still uncontrollably agitated.
"Because the Temple of Light doesn't need a vase saint. Marklov's words were merciless, and Leah couldn't help but breathe when she heard him say that he was a vase.
"This is the tradition of the Temple of Light, whenever a saint appears in the world, the Temple of Light will not recognize the identity of the Holy Maiden, only after the Holy Maiden has undergone a test, can she be recognized by the Temple of Light, the previous Holy Maiden was arranged by the Temple of Light after arriving on the Holy Spirit Island, but your situation is a little special, so we decided after deliberation that the test for you is to see if you can successfully reach the Holy Spirit Island. Maklov looked at Leah with a calm gaze, completely unaffected by her emotions.
"If you can successfully reach the Holy Spirit Island while being hunted down, even if you pass the test, if you die on the way here, then this holy woman doesn't need a straw bale leader. Maklov's words were a little unkind, but Leah knew that he was not wrong, the saint was to become the leader of the Temple of Light, and if a straw bale was made a saint, then the Temple of Light might decline under her leadership.
But even if she understands this truth, Leah still can't let go of this matter.
Maklov's expression softened again, and he looked at Leah softly, as if looking at his junior: "You did a good job, I have a general understanding of your experience along the way, and I believe that after this training, you should be able to become a qualified leader." You can't do it at all, do you know why?"
Leah bit her lip and whispered, "I can't be completely ruthless against the enemy......"
"That's right, that's it, I can't blame you, after all, you grew up in a peaceful place, and your family conditions also determine that you won't experience most of the setbacks in life, so you are undoubtedly very naΓ―ve, but now you have been able to be ruthless, you have done very well in Lasse City and the pirate base, and you have a bit of a strong demeanor. Maklov's expression was very satisfied, and Leah's face changed when she heard his words.
"So you've known all this all along...... In that case, why do you still watch Uncle Tuya die!" Leah couldn't help but cry out, Tuya's death had always been a thorn in her heart.
"Who told you that Tuya is dead?" Maklov suddenly smiled playfully at this moment, looking at Leah with a playful gaze.
"What? Uncle Tuya isn't dead?" Leah was startled, and then suddenly showed a surprised expression, "And where is he now!"
"He is now recuperating in a sanatorium on the west side of the Holy Spirit Island, his injuries have been completely healed by the senior priest, but the treatment has consumed a lot of vitality, and he must recuperate for more than a month to fully recover, Tuya is an important high-level combat force of the Holy Spirit God Cult after all, we will definitely not let him die like this, and the Joe who fought with him was also rescued by the Cardinals. Maklov told Tuya's current situation, and Leah was relieved to learn that he was fine, and at this moment she felt that a big stone in her heart had finally fallen to the ground.
"All in all, you have successfully completed this test, you have been recognized by the Temple of Light, and the Pope will no longer harm you. β
When Leah heard this, she suddenly remembered her agreement with Adrien, so she spoke: "Grandpa Mark, I received the help of the Judge Master in Starry City, and he proposed to join forces with us to resist the expansion of the Cardinal's Chamber. β
"It's not a busy affair at first, I think it's almost time for them to arrive, and the most important thing now is to formalize your identity. Maklov said, turning his head to the other side, and said lightly, "Don't hide there, I already sensed you coming." β
"Alas, I really can't hide it from you. A familiar voice came into Leah's ears, and she turned her head in surprise, and saw that the space on the other side was distorted, and then an old man with a kind face appeared, it was none other than Adrien, whom she hadn't seen for a while.
Adrien was wearing a gorgeous purple robe, which was obviously a symbol of the identity of the purple cardinal, because his temperament had changed a lot from the last time, and he no longer looked like an ordinary kind old man, but a person who had been in a high position for a long time.
"Grandpa Ryan, long time no see. Leah smiled at Adrien and said obediently.
If it was before, Leah would definitely have some resentment when he saw him, if he hadn't been deceived by the enemy's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain when he was at sea, things would not have developed to such a bad degree, but after learning that Tuya was still alive, Leah also saw this matter, and judging from the situation at the time, the thing that the enemy used to **Adrien was undoubtedly very important to him.
"Oh, don't be so kind to me, I even want to die now, last time it was really too gaffe, I obviously said that I would protect you when you arrived on Holy Spirit Island, but that kind of thing happened...... It's embarrassing...... Ha ha...... Hahaha......" Adrien laughed a little awkwardly, he looked like the chief judge of the inquisition that was equated with bloody violence.
"Hmph, you're also making trouble, how can you not see that we are testing her, if we really let you escort her all the way, what is this test like!" Marklov snorted angrily.
"Don't say that, I didn't intend to do that, but you saw it......," Adrien said, glancing at Leah, "You say, how can I calmly watch such a cute little one die from the sidelines?"
"You old and disrespectful Lolitcon, it's really hopeless!" Marklov sneered, and Adrien was not angry, still with a hippie smile on his face, obviously the two of them had a very good relationship in private, and it was likely that they had been friends for many years.
Leah looked at the two quarrelsome elders and resisted the urge to laugh, and now they really looked a little cute.
And Erin, who was beside Leah, still had a little less endurance, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Well, who is this?" Speaking of which...... This is also a high-quality Lori!" Adrien's eyes lit up when he saw Erin wearing a wig and a maid outfit.
And just then, the voice of an elder in the room sounded: "His Majesty the Pope has arrived!" (To be continued.) )
