Fortunately, it didn't happen like many plots, and there was no more moth at the end, and Duanmu Huai successfully obtained the skull staff. After that, he directly burned the entire monastery with a fire——— which was also a matter of no choice, the nuns and guards of the entire monastery had been transformed into undead by the damn vampire necromancer, and if they were not burned, then they would only crawl out again and cause trouble to the world.

And standing in the heavy rain, looking at the burning monastery in front of him, the probationary priest had a sad face.

"Why......... Why did it become like this...............

"I advise you not to be cranky."

Hearing the trainee priest's whispered to himself, Duanmu Huai's eyes were solemn and he said coldly, and when he heard his reprimand, the trainee priest shook his body.

"But ........."

"I can almost guess what you're thinking, you think they believe in the goddess of the lake, but they didn't get a good end, but they died in agony, and even became an evil undead creature, so the faith in your heart is starting to waver, right?"

“…………………”

The trainee priest didn't speak, but it was clear that she didn't deny Duanmuhuai's words.

"Listen up, little girl."

Duanmu Huai lowered his head and stared at her.

"Don't forget what the Dean once said, their mission here is to protect the artifact, so they are ready to sacrifice their lives. Of course, this is not the outcome they want, but how can this world be as people wish? The knights shouted to fight for the goddess, but fewer were hacked to death by the greenskinned orcs? This world is like that, get used to it. ”

"But, but......... What exactly should I do? ”

Hearing this, the trainee priest finally couldn't help it, raised his head and stared at Duanmu Huai, and roared loudly.

"If even the goddess is unwilling to protect us, then who can we rely on?"

"At the end of the day, it's up to you."

Duanmu Huai sighed and patted her shoulder.

"Remember, little girl. It is a very stupid thing to pin your hopes on others, and it is an incapable choice for cowards. If you want to change your destiny, then you have to be able to stick to your heart and make yourself strong and face all this......... Bear it all......... And not always thinking about running away, thinking about escaping, thinking about finding someone to shelter you. Of course, you also need to pay attention to the ways and means, if you choose to rely on the power of the evil gods, then ......... You know what the consequences will be. ”

Looking at the apprentice priest in front of him, Duanmu Huai's eyes did not fluctuate in the slightest, he was not sure if this child would be able to come out of the shadow of this incident, maybe she would be hit by this and become a believer in the evil god......... This is not only a small possibility, but a great one.

By that time...............

"Or, if you find it too tiring to live, I have a better solution."

Saying this, Duanmu Huai pulled out the mechanical sword behind his waist.

"Return your soul to the Goddess, so that you will never have to suffer the pain of the world again."

“………………………”

This time, the trainee priest was silent for a long time, and finally, she made up her mind and raised her head to look at Duanmu Huai.

"I'm sorry, Knight, I don't know......... What should I do. I thought maybe I wouldn't be able to believe in the goddess as much as I used to......... Is that okay? ”

"It's normal."

Duanmu Huai nodded and put away the mechanical sword.

"And, I think you may be a little wrong about faith and gods."

"Huh?"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, the trainee priest was stunned for a moment and looked at him in surprise.

"It may seem to you that as long as you believe in the gods and give everything to her, then you can be protected by the gods, but in fact most of the time this is not the case."

"Yes............ Is that so? ”

"That's right."

Duanmu Huai nodded.

"Nothing falls from the sky, whether it's a god's blessing or a pie. In my hometown, there is a saying that people know the destiny of heaven by doing their best, which simply means that after people have to do everything they should do, whether they can succeed or not is something that is arranged by God and fate. Instead of giving up in the first place and waiting for the gods to save you. ”

Saying this, Duanmu Huai turned his head and looked at the forest not far away. In fact, this is a common problem for many believers. They all feel that I have given everything to the gods, and I believe in you so devoutly, and I have to chant sutras and worship the Buddha every morning and evening, and when I encounter difficulties, you naturally want to help me. If the gods don't manifest, then the gods have betrayed me, and I'm so religious, and you're still unwilling to save me from the crisis......... It's all your fault!

This is also the reason why many senior believers immediately go to the other extreme after giving up their faith, because they think that they are not at fault, that the gods did not respond to their expectations, so it is not me but God who is at fault.........

But in fact? That's not the case at all, okay!

The gods also have to look at performance and performance, you don't do anything, you just chant there all day, or give a lot of money, or work for the temple——— is this called performance?

Of course, this is not called performance.

Take the goddess of the lake as an example, could it be that those knights who went to worship every day and devoutly worshipped the Buddha could see her?

Of course that's not the case, if you want to get the blessing of the goddess of the lake and become a knight of the Holy Grail, you have to embark on an adventure and a difficult journey, and you can only get the blessing of the goddess of the lake after a journey of nine deaths, right?

So, who is this pot going to throw on?

Naturally, it's the missionary guys.

Think about it, "As long as you believe in the goddess of the lake, you can bless you with good fortune and protection from evil" or "If you want to receive the blessing of the goddess of the lake, you must become an explorer knight, and you can only get your wish after a journey of nine deaths".

The former, of course.

After all, most people don't have the courage to die.

Except, of course, for some idiots who are sick in the second grade.

To be honest, Duanmu Huai often felt that those apparent devout believers should not be the second or fifth boy sent in by the Chaos Evil God——— as far as the methods they used to persuade believers were seen as if they were preparing for their faith to be shattered and degenerate into chaos.

As a result, most of the inquisitors did not have a favorable opinion of the clergy......... As soon as these bastards moved their mouths, they didn't know how many potential future degenerates they had fooled for the Chaos Evil God.

And they themselves were complacent, as if they had contributed much to the gods of their faith.

It was completely unthinkable that the gods they believed in might be angry in the sky, eager to kill these bastards with a lightning bolt.

Duanmu Huai didn't want to see the apprentice priest appear in the team of the Chaos Evil God one day, so he decided to give the other party a vaccination——— as long as he was firm in his mind and could see the world from a different perspective, it was also a good choice.

After listening to Duanmu Huai's words, the trainee priest lowered his head and thought for a while.

"I, I don't know......... But I'll try to figure it out........."

"Come on."

In this regard, Duanmu Huai said that is only that.

After a fire burned down the monastery, Duanmu Huai took Ogis and the probationary priest to a nearby temple of the goddess of the lake, and told the priests of the temple what had happened at the monastery. And the latter was also taken aback when she heard that there was a vampire invasion, and said that she would immediately send someone to deal with the aftermath, as for the trainee priest, she was left in the temple by Duanmu Huai, and it was up to her to see what path she would go on next.

"This time it was really a slap in time, and it almost overturned."

Leaving the temple, Duanmu Huai recalled what happened before, and he was also in a cold sweat. Thanks to his quick action, if he was a few days late, when he arrived at the monastery, he would only be able to see the ruins of the monastery.

What annoys him the most is this kind of tracking and searching task, which is a waste of time, not to mention, and the process is long and annoying.

This is also the reason why Duanmu Huai was the first to come to get the skull staff, after all, compared to other artifacts buried in the ruins, this kind of sealed thing is the easiest to be targeted.

But luckily, it's finally there!
