Chapter 33: Separation

In the church in Black Rock, Sister Lucia is worried.

Since yesterday, people have been coming to offer money and food to the church.

As tithes, this is the duty of every believer.

Previously, due to the oppression of the magistrate and the extortion of Haradin, the people of Black Rock had not paid it for many years, and the church had to abandon the stronghold here due to financial depletion.

Now, with the help of Lord Zhaoming, Kuroiwa has regained his clergy.

To commemorate this occasion, this year's everyone turned in as much as they could as compensation for the past.

Hearing the clanging sound of coins falling into the cash box and seeing the cloth bags full of food piled up from the inner court to the outside of the church, the followers of Enya felt a sense of pride and peace of mind like never before.

But this is sad for Lucia, there is not much space for the church here, and there is no place to stay.

At this time, Zhaoming happened to rush over from the grain field, and saw that Lucia was overwhelmed by the worship of the believers, and couldn't help laughing.

Zhaoming dismounted and stepped over the pile of grain on the ground with difficulty, and beckoned Lucia to stop being busy.

The two barely made it up to the second floor, and Lucia looked back at the scene downstairs with some concern.

Zhaoming advised her not to worry, and he would send someone to help her deal with it.

Lucia knew that no one would dare to fight the idea of the grain, but she was worried that if she didn't put it away properly, it would break everyone's hearts.

After the two entered the room, Lucia handed Zhaoming a cup of tea.

Zhaoming took a sip, and the refreshing fragrance rushed straight to the internal organs, and sighed that Lucia's craftsmanship was really improving quickly.

Lucia, who was standing on the side, blushed, saying that she just didn't have anything to do.

But it was only temporary, and Zhaoming took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Lucia.

Lucia took the letter, which also had the Templar logo on it.

Spreading out the letterhead, it was written that the bishop of the Templar branch in the Kingdom of Trania had received a letter from the Black Rock Lord, and had decided to send a group of priests and nuns to help.

Lucia looked at the contents of the letter, tears of excitement welling up in her eyes.

"Thank you, Lady Zhaoming!"

Zhaoming smiled: "Say this and see the outside, it's just my business." ”

Now that the interior of Black Rock City is settled and everything is on the right track, it is natural that Zhaoming will not forget his promise to Lucia.

What Zhaoming has to pay attention to now is his responsibility as a knight.

Although it may cause a lot of new trouble, whether it is the Sanctuary or the Church, as a knight, you will have to face it after all.

Zhaoming was still thinking about these things, and Lucia, who was crying with the letter in her hand, suddenly said something.

"Great, so I can finally go to seminary!"

Lucia's face was filled with a happy smile, but Zhaoming felt that something was wrong.

He asked Lucia a little dazedly, "Seminary?" ”

Lucia was pleasantly surprised to explain that it was a senior school for clergy founded by the church, specializing in training future church leaders, and that she had already obtained the entrance qualification a year ago, and that she had only experienced it on the battlefield before......

Before she could wipe away the tears of surprise on her face, Lucia went back to her room and took out a notice to show Zhaoming.

Looking at the notice printed with golden lace, Zhaoming didn't pick it up, and he had an indescribable uncomfortable feeling in his heart.

"That's... It's great, congratulations..."

Before he could say goodbye to Lucia, Zhaoming left the church directly, leaving only the unknown nun standing in place.

Walking on the way back to the city hall on the Shadow of the Crown, Zhaoming's mind was in a mess.

He hadn't seen the specifics of the notice just now, but he knew in his heart that the piece of paper was going to take the girl away from him.

Lucia is going to the seminary, and she is leaving this bitter cold place... That's right, it's a waste for someone like her to stay here...

Zhaoming's mind kept thinking, what kind of life would Lucia live if she left here?

First go to the seminary for two years, and then go to a church in a rich place to become a nun, it is estimated that she will soon be promoted to the head of the nun, and then transferred back to the holy area to be directly promoted to the priest of the nun, maybe there is a chance to become a great nun......

In short, the first person I met in this world, the first girl in my life who made my heart move, will probably say goodbye to myself forever.

Zhaoming began to torture himself, did he really like Lucia in his heart, or was he just interested in it?

He quickly came up with the answer, he was absolutely sincere, but at the same time he felt remorse.

I'm such a womanizer who has Lucia in my heart and the maid at home......

"What are you doing with yourself?" Zhaoming muttered to himself to the sky.

How can someone like himself be worthy of Lucia?

It's just an ordinary person who happened to be the head of the knights, and he's not the hero of a YY novel, and the girls he sees will like him.

It's time to recognize reality, this is what Zhaoming said to himself in the bottom of his heart.

Lucia is more grateful to herself than to love, and she is a person who has traveled through time, doesn't she understand that there is no life-saving grace in this world?

......

Despite thinking about it so much, Zhaoming still couldn't calm down.

The black-armored knight didn't react when he walked past the door of the town hall, and even though the guards at the door shouted as if they hadn't heard it.

It wasn't until he reached the foot of the city wall that the neighing of the Shadow saved him from his chaotic thoughts.

Looking at the mottled city wall in front of him, Zhaoming finally calmed down.

He remembered his cousin, the man who lived in the same city but rarely saw him.

My cousin once had a very loving girlfriend, and the two almost dropped out of school for love.

In the end, reality triumphed over innocence, and they flew high with each other after separation: one entered the mall to experience a young reputation at a young age, and the other went abroad to make a name for himself......

The name of love should not be used to restrain other people's pursuit of the future, everyone has the right to choose a better life, and what they can give may not be as good as what others can get.

"I've figured it out, she has her way to go, I've got my business to do, so be it."

Zhaoming didn't know if he was saying it to the city wall or to the shadow under his crotch.

It was hard, but he let go, really let go.

It was a beautiful encounter, two comets about to fly to different skies collided in a brief moment, and then they had to go to different places to leave their glory.

Zhaoming returned to the city hall, and after thinking about it, his whole temperament changed dramatically, as if a childish child had grown up in an instant.
