Chapter 40: Two Girls
Church of Saint-Cecil, inside the dining hall.
As a goddess official, Caroline still has a lot of benefits, not only free room and board, but also a salary that can be the envy of many Minoans.
Moreover, the work of the goddess officials is not particularly hard, they spend most of their time comforting the believers of Mother Earth God, as for those tasks of transcending the undead and solving the fierce fanatics, they do not need to complete it, because the former is the duty of the priest, and the latter, you must know, the Minoan garrison is not an ornament.
Therefore, Mother Earth Goddess, or the priest of other gods, and priests, are all positions that many people dream of, but unfortunately, it is not that you are religious enough to become a part of it, you must have the talent of divine arts, just like a swordsman can dance a sword, a magician can use magic, and the divine talent of a priest must not be weak.
This blocks most people from the starting line, after all, the creator does not have any sense of fairness, some people are born smarter, and most of them have no talent for magic in their lives, which leads to the fact that there is still a shortage of priests in this world, and it is also the reason why the priest was willing to take her in after Caroline exposed her talent for magic.
It's a pity that the girl that the priest likes is ready to leave here, although it is only for a while, and the priest does not object, but he also feels a little pity.
He was eating the cream soup, and he already knew what had happened to Caroline's fiancΓ©, Xavier, and it was said that he was in danger in Vasily Kiri, a vassal state of Minoan in the south, so he wrote a letter to Caroline, which made the girl feel very worried, and made her willing to go south to Vasiliki in spite of everything, like the Meng Jiangnu who was looking for a husband.
The priest was not afraid of the danger of the girl, but he was afraid that something would happen to the boy before, and he had said that Xavier had to win the knights' conference in order to marry Caroline, who knows if this would make the boy desperate because of this, if this happened, he would have committed murder.
He looked at Caroline, who was holding a spoon in her hand, but her face was not energetic, and she was swallowing weakly, and sighed a little helplessly.
"May Mother Earth God bless them. Father Paul prayed reverently.
~~~~~~
After a few more moments, Caroline quickly settled her lunch for the day, and was ready to complete her last recent duty, and to-morrow she was to leave here.
But at this moment, a noisy voice suddenly sounded in the distance in her ears, it was a male voice, a group of young men with blonde hair, black hair, or brown hair, waiting in the church, making a noise.
The other priest girls were maintaining order, but they only got that sentence
"We want to see Miss Caroline!"
"Miss Caroline!"
They shouted, just like the fanatical fans.
Caroline frowned, but changed her smile, stepped forward, and asked, "Gentlemen, do you have any need to find Caroline?"
"Ah, Miss Caroline, my Mother Goddess, we have come this time to confirm that you are leaving us?" asked one of the young men in the lead.
"Yes gentlemen, but my fellow priests, you can count on them to continue to serve. Caroline replied with a smile.
"But how can our hearts be comforted without you? I once fell, thinking that I was going to be like that Lucifer, an evil demon, but you appeared, and became an angel in my destiny, and touched me, and lit up my life. β
"Yes, Miss Caroline is our angel, and if the angel is gone, what is the point of us living?"
"So, Miss Caroline, you can't go!"
Caroline gave an embarrassed expression, and finally had to respond
"But I'm not leaving permanently, I'm just going to be away for a while, and I'll come back. β
"I'm not an angel either, I've just done my duty, and my fellow priests can do the same. β
"As long as you believe in Mother Earth Goddess, why should your hearts be afraid that they will not be comforted?"
Several young men looked at each other with weeping expressions.
"Is that really the only way to go? Miss Caroline, if anything bad happens to you, please tell us!"
"If anything happens to you, I'll avenge you!"
"Phew, how could there be an accident, what nonsense are you talking about?"
The young men suddenly quarreled.
Noisy and noisy, this is the nature of teenagers, they may be true love, or maybe they just like it for a short time, after the priest girl leaves, I believe that many will also part with love, this is the love of teenagers, maybe there is a long time, but we can't see it.
Caroline smiled wryly and didn't continue to respond more.
Early tomorrow morning, she will take her luggage and head to Vasilyki.
~~~~~
Vasiliki, Crete city.
Xavier, who had settled the matter of Count Ron, returned here.
Vasilyki has been here for so long, no matter how stupid a person is, he can learn a little Vasiliki, and now he can communicate with the soldiers guarding the gate simply.
I think that at the beginning, he had some problems here when he entered the city because of language problems, but now, these will not happen again, Xavier only used a few certificates, and easily entered the city.
The atmosphere in the streets is still the same, lifeless, without the smell of selling, as a country of pleasure, it is the rich and the nobles who enjoy it, not the commoners below.
Xavier glanced at the beggar nearby, didn't say much, and walked away quickly.
Arriving in the rich area, Xavier found Viscount Wallless, who had regained his true nature and was enjoying life with two young girls in his arms.
After leaving the capital for so long, he must have been suffocated, and when he saw Xavier, he only nodded and said hello, and then continued to enjoy his big things.
"What about Mary?" asked Xavier, the name of the little girl he and the Viscount had brought from the village of Iam.
"In other rooms. β
"Master, is it really okay for you to let her see this?"
"I didn't do anything. The viscount smiled casually, and then took a bite of the grapes that the girl had handed him.
Forget Xavier didn't say anything, at least this time the viscount is no longer an elderly human woman, which is a good thing, right?
He left the place and went into Mary's room next door, where he found the little girl silent, looking at the gray walls.
She heard Xavier's footsteps, turned her head, glanced at it, and was silent for a moment before speaking
"Hello. β
"Still thinking about my brother, and my father?" Xavier asked, crouching down.
"Hmm. β
