It's not the protagonist, what does it matter if you are trapped in the Shura field

Chapter 165 The Last Wish of the Goddess of Purification Water
After admiring Saya's shy and annoyed appearance, Luo Wei decided to tell her a surprise when she settled the deposit matter.

Ok……

After brewing for so long, the amount should be enough to make her fall for a while.

But right now, it's getting late, and Luo Wei didn't forget to go to the prayer church later, so he stopped the three who hadn't had fun yet... Uh, there should be only two people.

Not to mention having fun, Ayi Ning frowned, probably thinking about how to deal with this crooked demon.

It's getting better.

"Eh? Is this the end?" Lu Yi was very reluctant, and her eyes were still looking in other directions.

"If your guide has done a good job, you will still have a chance," Luo Wei looked at her calmly, "You should be able to see that we have not broken our promise to you."

"Woo...the human world is so interesting, why don't we go to the ruins now!?"

"We have other things to do, so we can't." Rowe shrugged and replied.

I don't know if it's a good thing to be so motivated.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Ayi Ning frowned even deeper, why could Lu Yi restrain himself when he spoke in the usual way?
Is it because of his attitude of stating the facts and his sense of expectation?And the way of rejection that is not tactful?

She immediately fell into deep thought, and left with Saya, who looked very anxious, and took Lu Yi.

"Sha, what happened to Saya?"

Standing on the street in the setting sun, Vermeer asked.

She saw that Saya didn't seem to be in the mood either.

"It's nothing, the life of a working angel is just ups and downs."

"?"

Vermier tilted her head in doubt, and her shadow looked silly and cute in the setting sun.

Luo Wei moved his own shadow towards him.

"Okay, time to go to church."

"Ok!"

At dusk, the two arrived at the Wishing Church in the Crownless City.

The open church hall gives people a pure and holy impression, and the marble floor reflects the reflection of light, which may be caused by the situation inside and outside the city. At this time, there are still some people praying and meditating on the benches.

Vermier greeted a nun with ease, and then led Luo Wei into the inner room through the side door, and walked along the corridor to the end, which was the bishop's office.

dong dong dong.

Vermeer knocked on the door.

"Hi, I'm the pilgrimage priest Vermeer Fengdist who is temporarily staying here. Is the Bishop there?"

"come in……"

An old voice answered her.

Pushing the door open, the bishop sitting at the desk has white beard and hair, but his back is straight.

Seeing that Vermeer brought someone in, the old bishop gave Luo Wei an extra look.

"The person who wants to see you is underground, but he... can't go in."

Eh?
Although Vermeer expected that there would be obstacles, she didn't expect to refuse without even asking.

Luo Wei stood there, looking at the bishop sitting there with a calm expression.

"How about being honest?" he said, "Since I'm here with you, I don't intend to wait outside."

The old bishop was silent for a moment.

After a few breaths, he stood up slowly holding the scepter.

"follow me."

Vermeer: ​​"...?"

Hmm, I'm a little confused.

He obviously didn't even ask, why was he persuaded by Luo Wei with a single sentence?
Are they testing each other?

Moreover, who is it that wants to see him, who actually needs the bishop to lead the way in person?
Luo Wei rubbed her head and followed the bishop without saying anything.

Well……

He didn't seem nervous at all, the bishop touched my head while he was still in front...

Walking on the ground of the church, the surrounding area is getting colder and colder. Even though the weather is getting warmer, it feels like returning to the cold winter.

"arrive."

Walking unambiguously, the old bishop stopped in front of a sealed stone door.

He turned and looked at the two of them.

"Rovie Brook, I only have one request, don't get too close to that lord."

"I promise." Luo Wei responded in a deep voice.

Vermeer was slightly taken aback.

they know each other?

How did the bishop know Luo Wei's name? He obviously didn't introduce it.

Luo Wei looked at her helplessly.

You also underestimate the intelligence capabilities of your own church.

Thanks to Marcus, even if it was all left to Ryan, the major forces and the church would have remembered him for a long time, and the person who didn't care about the situation at all insisted on accompanying him at this moment. The bishop just left the decision-making power to the person inside That's all.

The heavy stone door with the seal was unlocked, and the old bishop stood by the door leaning on a scepter, first made a prayer to the inside, and then motioned for the two to pass.

Although she wasn't afraid, Vermier suddenly became a little nervous.

Even bishops need someone to salute...

Taking a step forward, her gaze fell into the cold stone room, and Vermeer saw the woman Belle had described, wearing a white and blue hood inlaid with gold, sitting on a gray-black carved stone chair.

"come in."

The other party's voice was very soft, as if it had its own echo, with a kind of cleansing and ethereal feeling.

There were only stone tables, chairs and stone beds in the room, and Wei Mier walked to the opposite side under the signal of the other party, and looked back to see that Luo Wei was standing at the door and did not come over.

The old bishop closed the door for them.

Vermeer: ​​"..."

Air, so serious.

"You are Vermeer, right?"

"……Yes."

"I didn't expect you to bring someone over."

After speaking softly, the woman stretched out her bloodless hand, and slowly took off her hood.

Along with the light white curly hair, which was so pale that the golden color could not be seen, there was also an unusually beautiful pale face. The bloodless face gave off a weak beauty, and it was difficult to find focus in the slightly cloudy pupils.

"I'm Xia Tesi from Taijing Court, I hope this appearance doesn't frighten you." The woman said softly.

"No." Vermier shook her head lightly.

There should be some reason why the other party looks so weak.

"May I ask, what is the "Jingjing Court"? "

She was raised in the church since she was a child and became a priest, but Vermier has never seen this name in the church books.

"You can understand it as a secret organization that judges the enemies of the Goddess of Purification," Shatis said, looking directly at her. "Before the official start, I need to know the reason why you insist on bringing him in."

Is it the church's secret army...

Under the gaze of the other party, Vermeer raised his head.

"If he will know sooner or later what you plan to tell me, will you still ask?"

"...?"

Shatis leaned back, her eyes fell on Luo Wei for the first time.

And Luo Wei closed his eyes, folded his arms and leaned against the door, with a sober and calm posture as a warning.

Look at it for a moment.

Xia Tesi suddenly had a feeling that they could not be separated, as if she was an outsider as an insider of the church.

Is this belief in the wrong place...

"Does he have a faith or affiliation?" she asked.

"No, no..." Vermeer replied.

"Can I see him as keeping your secret?"

"……Yes."

Xia Tesi sighed.

What happened next should not be known to outsiders, but it is actually not a top secret among the top leaders of the major churches.

He is not a believer in gods.

But for some reason, there is always a feeling that one's own people are being kidnapped.

"If the record is correct, you are already a dual-element user?"

"Ah... yes, that's right."

Vermeer's heart lifted slightly.

Is it better not to say anything about the three elements?

The topic always feels a bit serious.

Resisting the urge to look back at Luo Wei, she decided to do so before finding out what happened.

"Then, the next thing may be difficult for you to accept, but you must know."

Vermeer: ​​"...?"

Xia Tesi's eyes were dull, and she stared at her as much as possible.

"The goddess we believe in has fallen."

"!"

Faced with Vermier's sluggishness, Shatis raised her head and glanced at Luo Wei. The latter's demeanor was not so much indifferent, but more like she had expected it.

he knows?
This posture seemed to be deliberately letting her know that he had already known the truth, so there was no need to hide it.

"Eh……?"

Vermeer came to her senses, and sat there in a daze, looking at Shatis.

Xia Tesi nodded to her.

"In the battle of gods 18 years ago, our goddess fell together with many gods, and the apostles of the gods, including me, died at that moment. This is the best proof."

"Apostle of the gods?"

Vermeer has only read similar records in very few books. In addition to bestowing godheads, gods also have the ability to conclude apostolic contracts with their subordinates.This kind of contract requires the apostle to dedicate everything to the gods, become a being closely related to the gods, and share more power than the godhead.

But as a price, the apostles who sacrificed everything, once the gods fall, themselves will also perish together.

"Yes," Shatis replied, "Although I am only the last one, I did conclude an apostle contract with the goddess."

Vermeer's eyes trembled.

"Then...then you now?"

"What you see now is me resurrected in the form of a shadow, and the time left is running out," she pointed to her golden hair, which is almost invisible, "I will return to calmness when the color fades completely .”

"...!"

Vermier focused her attention, trying to keep herself as calm as possible.

The apostle of the goddess is right in front of me, and the goddess has fallen or something...

Shates' eyes are also because of...

"Don't worry about my affairs. What I need you to know is that the goddess left behind her divine core before she fell."

"Eh?" Vermeer kept his eyes slightly wide open, "Why?"

If the divine core is left behind, if it is used by someone, wouldn't it be...?
"It seems that you already have some understanding of the realm of the gods, so it will be convenient to explain," Shatis closed her eyes, "Back then the power of the gods collided and mixed together under the influence of unknown, even if we have the ability to revive the goddess, There is also no guarantee that the one who will be revived is the pure goddess of water purification."

"If this kind of attempt is made, the gods can't guarantee what kind of impact the gods born in the end will have on the world."

"So the meaning of the goddess leaving the divine core is that the saints are selected as qualified persons in the church. After a series of experiences, one of the saints will become the new goddess of water purification."

Vermier opened her mouth blankly.

She had never thought that the deeds of the goddess were so close to her, and she left the god core at the last moment for the sake of the world. This kind of move is undoubtedly the god she has always believed in.

But that doesn't mean...

Is the goddess not coming back?
"I failed to investigate the specific circumstances of the year, so I can only act in accordance with the goddess' last wish."

Shatis sighed and raised her eyes again.

"Vermier, you were born in the time of the gods, and you possess the characteristics of dual elements. Judging from the past investigation records, you are already a very outstanding priest."

Vermier hasn't recovered from what happened just now, she just sat there listening in a daze.

what……

"I think you are qualified enough."

"So I'm here to formally ask you—Vermeer Fengdist, are you willing to dedicate your life, unswervingly uphold your faith, and make a vow of prayer in the Church's Holy Maiden Trial?"

"Eh……?"

Wei Mier looked at each other in a daze.

It wasn't until this moment that she began to realize that the other party said this to herself, could it be for...

"After passing the trial, you will become the new saint of the Church of Wishing."

Xia Tesi looked at her solemnly.

"And one day in the future, if you can stand out from other saints—"

"You will inherit the divine core left by the goddess and become the new goddess of water purification."
