3. Selection assistants
Since it was impossible for Ashmill to have time to talk to her alone, Lilith decided to go to the church the next day to find her herself. โ2๏ผ.2ยค3wx.
But what makes Lilith feel helpless is that at this point in time, it seems that it is even more difficult to meet a saint than to ascend to the sky.
Moreover, especially if you can't explain your identity clearly, and you are not a Christian, it is extremely difficult to meet and no, I should say that you want to enter the church.
"No, please go back. โ
The guard's paladin treated Lilith quite kindly, probably because he was facing a "child", but this is really a pity, Villad who came with him didn't mention it for the time being, even if it was himself, he was much older than your uncle.
"The Holy Maiden will not meet with the Catholics during the ordinary time, and besides, you are not a Holy Maiden yet, so please go back. โ
โ...... What a big breath. โ
Compared to Lilith, who has already given up and plans to find another way, Villard, who has always valued dignity, has no reason to go back after being disciplined like this.
Of course, this also caught the attention of the paladins, and they also began to involuntarily look at Verard again.
"I take the liberty of asking. The paladin's attitude had softened, "Where are you princess?"
With an inquiring tone, but this is really not to blame the paladins, Verard does look like a princess from a distance and up, although ...... This princess is not a princess in the normal sense of the word.
Because Verard is......
"Very well, I'll tell you all right, actually...... Mmmmmm
"Aha. Then we won't bother. โ
Lilith hurriedly gagged Villard's mouth. If she was allowed to say her identity at once because she was young and vigorous. Don't talk about leaving, both myself and Villard have to fly. Judging by Villard's proud look just now, she must have forgotten who she was introducing herself to.
"Ah, yes, you don't have to be in such a hurry. โ
As if remembering something, the paladin hurriedly added, "This should already be a public matter, in a few days." The church should openly select some talented believers, and the saint should appear at that time. โ
"Thank you, we will go. โ
After nodding her head to the paladin, Lilith pulled Villad and quickly left.
Open selection, this kind of thing has been in a lot of trouble for a long time, and there is no reason why I won't know, and my mother is often absent these days, so I spend most of my time playing on the street.
After the previous prayer, the saint announced the matter uncharacteristically, as if it were an open selection of disciples. It is necessary to select some talented believers to try to do the same work as the saints. Although this qiฤ was in the end the idea of the saint herself. Whether there was someone else in the midst of this, Lilith did not know.
However, what can be known is that as long as you have talent, you can be selected, and at that time, there may be a good chance to get close to the Holy Maiden. Most of the other people are just approaching because of longing, but they have a reason to have to communicate with the saint alone.
Because she is Ashmill, Ashmill who has not yet become a demon. I want to know if it was because of my own relationship that led to the occurrence of this historical mistake.
The so-called talent, as long as you use magic to simulate, there will be no flaws. Because even the so-called "prayer" of the saint herself is just a kind of magic.
"Sister, are you going to do the selection?"
Villard looked a little lost, after all, in her situation, it was impossible for her to go to the selection with Lilith.
"There are many ways to see the Holy Maiden, you don't have to stick to this way, we can sneak in at night......"
"Then you won't be able to communicate properly with the saint. Lilith retorted, "I am not going to be a thief, but to approach the saint in an equal way...... Do you understand what I mean, Verard, and if you don't mind, come with me to the place where you signed up. โ
......
The overcrowded registration site was no worse than the previous rally, after all, this selection was a real opportunity to get close to the Holy Maiden, and no believer would be unwilling to refuse.
Although she said that only women were needed, Lilith had seen a lot of unrelenting male cultists wandering around, some trying to rely on their eloquence to get a special opportunity, and some had even begun to dress up as women.
Fortunately, the strict process of this selection is indeed amazing, don't want a man, just don't, even if you are a natural pseudo-girl, even some female believers who are not so ...... and "upright" in appearance seem to have been coaxed away with very serious nonsense.
It seems that this time it is necessary to recruit women who are capable and able to see people.
โ...... I should, yes. โ
The crowd made Lilith give up her intention to squeeze in, and the announcement said that only two people were needed, but from the current scene, it seems that the real qualifications, to say the least, are about two thousand, even if it is a thousand-to-one chance, there are still a lot of people like moths fighting fires and going forward and fighting for it, moths fighting fires can also rely on the number to extinguish candles, but in this current situation, it should be said that flies are fighting fires.
However, such strict requirements seem to be able to show that this selection is not a joke.
"Sister, I think we have to hurry. โ
Even if he didn't want Lilith to participate in such an event, Verard was still helping Lilith make plans, "It seems that the selection criteria are that as long as you are qualified, you can be selected immediately, although the requirements are very high, but the number of qualified people is too small, please be sure to be early." โ
โ...... Well, but we can't squeeze in like this, if we fly to the front row with magic, then we won't be able to prove our identity, they want the cultists, not the magicians. โ
Lilith frowned, "I can't disfigure them when it comes to their appearance. Villard. About the second. Do you have any ideas on ability?"
"A large part of the prayers of the congregants are inward, and if you do something that can influence their behavior, you can reduce their chances of success. Verard blinked, "Sister, rashly casting spells here will be discovered, I'll go back and prepare now, sister will wait here for a while." โ
"Ready?"
"Well, sister, if only don't be scared then. โ
Villard said. With a smug smile, he walked away from Lilith quickly.
It seems that before the preparations that Villard said are completed, he will wait here for a while, anyway, such a human wall layer by layer, and there is no saint who can directly shut them up, and it is more difficult to squeeze in than to ascend to the sky.
As the selection progressed, the thick walls of people that were still surrounding them gradually decreased, although in Lilith's opinion there were still a lot.
Part of it was eliminated because of lack of ability, though. A larger part is after seeing the extremely rigorous investigation. I opted out. It seems that this selection is much more stringent than she imagined, and in this short period of time, Lilith has seen some people with good qualifications use it, which is magic in her own eyes and prayer in the eyes of the cultists.
But without exception, they were still eliminated, which made Lilith wonder what the exam question was this time. And why is it necessary to use such a rigorous selection to find two qualified people to assist in the work of the Holy Maiden?
Something sudden, I always feel that this has a strange connection with the question I asked the saint yesterday.
"Ah, I'm sorry. โ
The sudden rush of the crowd made Lilith almost fall, but at the same time that she was about to fall to the ground, she was held up by the kind people behind her.
Looks like a nun, but ......
"I'm sorry for your trouble. โ
Lilith apologized as she swept towards the woman in a nun's dress, who was supposed to be a nun.
Was it her own delusion? She always felt as if she was someone she had met somewhere.
"Are you here too?"
The woman didn't look like the type to communicate with others, and at this moment, Lilith's memory finally appeared about this woman, no...... It should be said that it was about her impressions.
"You are not wearing the prescribed clothes. โ
โ...... It doesn't matter, it's not the clothes that are being examined. โ
Isn't she Cecia? Because Cecia has hardly ever appeared in front of her, Lilith has very little impression of her, and according to her last conversation with herself, she has her own plans and actions, and she does not want to be subject to her own rule.
Cecia at this time should be ...... It's for my mother. But why did she come here, for such a selection?
Could it be that this is also the mother's idea?
"It seems that no one has been selected yet, and it seems that the selection is very demanding. โ
At this point in time, I shouldn't know Cecia, so it's better to pretend to be the first encounter with her based on this.
However, this is indeed very strange, Cecia and Lucifer, at this time, should still be angels wandering in the sky, why are they all by their mother's side early?
"As long as it's required, there's a standard line. โ
Cecia must know herself, because she should also be lurking beside her mother, but now she shouldn't know Cecia.
Damn, what a messy relationship, it's better to find out directly here.
"The crowd is about to disperse. โ
Just when Lilith hesitated to explain to Cecia that she knew her, Cecia seemed to understand her hesitation and took the lead in breaking the deadlock, "Get ready, good luck." โ
It's not a matter of good luck or bad luck, because after the believers are eliminated one by one, everyone will realize that the standards are very strict.
"Ahh
With an anxious shout, the cultists, who were still nervously preparing, immediately diverted their attention.
Is Verard's ready?
The gradually darkening surrounding scenery seemed to confirm Lilith's suspicions, and indeed, this was a preparation for Villad's style.
It wasn't a solar eclipse, but Villad probably used some kind of method to obscure the sun that was still shining on the earth.
Therefore, in the eyes of the believers, this is the most ominous and ominous sign.
The crowd unsurprisingly rioted, and Villard's preparation was to provide himself with such an opportunity.
Let's take a look at the topic of the selection, what is it? (To be continued......)
