our family is gone

Chapter 272 Junia's Confession
Growing up in a monastery since she was a child, she has accepted the teachings of the church deep into her bones. Although she vaguely felt that something was wrong, she couldn't say it out. She could only use the most core method in religious theory-speaking hard.

Lance didn't mind, just resist, the more you resist, the happier I am.

The nun tried her best to cut off those messy thoughts, silently recited the scriptures that she had memorized fluently, and at the same time, she did not forget to put forward some ideas to refute Lance's ideas.

"The holy flame is with us, it is the church that maintains the order of the world, it is the church..."

The nuns praised the greatness of the Holy Flame, and kept talking about the achievements of the church, comparing the church to the only light in the darkness, as if only the church had human beings, and without the church, human beings would die.

Lance doesn't feel right, this argument... you're not talking about the church, you're talking about the fucking army, right?

"Uh...is it possible...I said maybe...didn't you teach everyone to live the same way?"

The nun who was talking excitedly stopped suddenly because of Lance's words. She subconsciously opened her mouth to refute something, but suddenly froze.

She originally wanted to talk about many places destroyed by evil forces, but those places seemed to be more or less related to the church.

On the contrary, here, after getting rid of the connection with the church, it was not destroyed, but it was extraordinarily prosperous, not to mention that I was saved several times.

The bread here is really delicious~
"Actually, I don't deny the church's contribution in some places. Your efforts have indeed played a certain role in maintaining order, but have you ever thought that this is also done by humans, not that god?"

Lance knew she was terminally ill and had little chance of undoing the influence of religion on her mind.

So all he needs to do is cut, cut God from the church, and then cut her from the church.

To put it simply, it is to remove the middleman of the church and prevent him from making the difference.

It's not that the nun didn't think of a way to refute it, but she hasn't been in society, and she's talking nonsense, just like the imbecile public intellectuals that his mother touts with the mentally handicapped stories in Yilin, Readers, and Youth Digest.

Lance didn't mind it, instead it aroused his hunting psychology. Although he was a waste in his previous life, he has been on the Internet for many years, and he is too experienced in dealing with these guys.

Resist, the more you resist, the happier I am.

Lance is based on reality and matter, and the church's theories and statements based on lies are as vulnerable to him as toilet paper.

She couldn't say enough about Lance, and the nun based on it could only be dismantled inch by inch, the seemingly indestructible "armor" covering the surface, revealing the soft inner part, and then being firmly held by him.

Cool!
Seeing the nun being speechless by him, Lance felt refreshed for a long time. The pressure accumulated during this period was released, and he remembered the happy time when he was walking with "keys".

He was really happy, but the nun shut herself up immediately.

The already thin face was directly sunken and shadowed, and the bright eyes became dim and lifeless, and the whole person appeared in a trance. It seemed that he was completely ruined.

Her theory of the church was completely worn out by Lance, and she fell into emptiness for this reason.

And it was still in a closed room, which added to the pressure.

After being entangled in those things, she fell into internal friction in her thinking, and her spirit weakened rapidly.

Uh... Is it a little too much?

Lance couldn't help feeling guilty when he saw her silent, but it quickly disappeared.

This is for her own good, yes, it is better to be fooled by him than to be fooled by the church, at least he will not let her die.

Lance could see her weird face, which wasn't good news.

He thought it was because he talked too much, and he might have vaguely triggered the red line set by the church.

The relationship between the two had just begun, and he was afraid that talking about it would only arouse resentment, so Lance immediately changed his words, affirmed the existence of faith, and comforted her.

"Faith is free, but belief is limited to oneself, and it is one's own behavior. Once it is mixed with religious concepts, it will deteriorate.

So get it, you are who you are and the church is just using you, and your beliefs, through lies. "

Lance sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her with a gentle smile on his face.

Originally, she thought that she would continue to speak harshly, but what she said next shocked Lance instead.

"Yes, I think so."

ah!this……?
Even Lance was a little unresponsive.

You are a battle nun with firm beliefs, are you giving in now?
I have to say that this sentence directly gave him a shutdown, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

However, Lance quickly realized that he had misunderstood something. The nun was not as firm as he imagined.

Because there is a very strange point, that is, if the church really wants to hunt down wizards, it should send a team of knights, or a small team, it is impossible to send only an unknown nun, and they can't even get supplies, hungry a few days.

Lance began to realize that there was something wrong with her identity...

"Why do you say that? Tell me about your understanding." It was impossible for Lance to admit his mistake directly, but he could figure out her situation first.

The nun was not wary, and naturally told Lance her story.

The nun's name is Junia. She was taken away from her parents by the church when she was very young, and then grew up with her sisters in St. Martha's Abbey.

Like Leonard when she was a child, she also suffered various cruel punishments because of her studies, and finally became a "glorious" nun.

She had never studied fighting, and she performed various religious ceremonies on weekdays. Later, she was selected to join the nuns and sisters, devoutly and humbly enshrining the sacred flame of the order.

In fact, it is guarding the altar, adding firewood to the brazier, and boring mechanical labor.

The simple life in the monastery is very ordinary, but under the protection of the church, they enjoy the tranquility beyond the imagination of ordinary people outside the high walls.

But there is a price to be paid, the chosen ones are kept pure, they wear chastity belts, they are taught to do their duty, and they are taught to control themselves when their desires arise.

She has always been a model of responsibility and virtue, even if the chastity belt hurts her, even if she keeps repeating meaningless labor, she has no complaints.

Until one day, a couple appeared in the garden outside the church... She felt love...

The more she suppressed that strong emotion, the more her heart was flooded, and her attention was gradually lost.

The nun immersed in fantasy was taken aback by the angrily scolded by the head of the monastery, only to realize that the sacred flame had been extinguished.

"He actually said that I lost my faith! Me!!!"

The nun suddenly became irritable, and her tone became impulsive.

When the Abbot dragged her into the secret dungeon hidden under the monastery, her horrified screams echoed in the corridors, and she could even see the anxiety on the faces of the other nuns.

There was no light, and it was completely enveloped in darkness. The executioners also wore hoods, as if they didn't use eyes at all.

She was imprisoned in the dark dungeon of the monastery, while bearing her inner self-blame for the blasphemy, waiting for God's punishment.

On the other hand, she has to endure the extreme torture of those angry zealots. As a deterrent to other nuns, she will be punished far more severely than her blasphemy.

"That cage almost turned me from pious to hated."

The harsh punishment almost took her life, and every instrument of torture in the dark dungeon was stained with her blood.

Just when she was about to give up, a golden light that appeared out of thin air shone into the lifeless and dark dungeon.

What she waited for was not God's punishment, she could feel the strength coming from her tortured and depleted body, and those injuries were healing.

At this moment, she believed that this was God's affirmation of her innocence, and she had received God's approval.

There is no divine punishment awaiting her, but her captors have turned their backs on God!

"I am no longer afraid of the dark, my body and soul are sacred, the light has not abandoned me!"

The power given by the Holy Light made her break free from the shackles with a more fanatical attitude than the fanatics, and killed those who tormented her. When she rushed out of the dungeon in good spirits, she returned to the corridor of the monastery.

"The truth cannot be concealed for long, self is innocent, love is innocent."

Eager to share the news of her liberation with the nuns and sisters, she rushed to the dormitory, but only at this time did she realize that the place where the original door stood has now become a brand new stone wall.

The smile on her face froze instantly, and the cheers stopped abruptly.

At this moment, she seemed to hear the faint scraping sound behind the solid stone wall filled with dry mortar, followed by the last miserable gasp of the nuns and sisters.

She realized that the price of her indulgence was not only measured by the flail that hit her.

"They because of my arrogance..."

The nun didn't say it clearly, but from her appearance, it could be seen that the nuns were implicated by her negligence and died in a desperate manner.

It was very straightforward later, she confronted the dean, but the situation was strikingly similar to Leonard's, but she was expelled from the monastery as a result.

But the difference is that she has mastered the divine power, even the church dare not embarrass her, but use a very clever method to drive her away.

That is the expedition, which is actually equivalent to exile from the center of power.

With the attention of the divine power, her faith is very firm, but the approval of the church is very distorted.

This question has not been answered along the way, so she still, or can only follow the old way, after all, she has been like this since she was a child, and she has formed an inertia.

Until now, when I met this strange town and met Lance, I unexpectedly found that everything I encountered under this theory could be explained.

It turned out that it was not me who was wrong, but the church.

She figured it out, and poor Lance fell into confusion.

That's not right... Could it be said that the god Shengguang really cares about human beings?

The nun is not the kind of person who can lie, and this miraculous phenomenon is the only one that can explain it.

It's just that Lance quickly thought of something, and couldn't help but look at the nun and asked a question.

"Were you sent to a monastery by your parents or were you taken away?"

The nun didn't understand why she suddenly asked this question, but she answered in the affirmative.

"I was taken away."

Hearing this, Lance suddenly seemed to understand something. She must be one of the supernaturally gifted children taken away by the church...

Lance remembered Tamara saying that the church would "take" children who might become superhumans.

If it is assumed that the nuns themselves have talents, and that only the most powerful ones can be "imprisoned" by the church in the monastery, they just haven't been discovered.

So what was on her mind while she was being tortured in the dungeon?
Of course, it was the approval of the holy light, and the suffering brought about by the punishment directly made her break through the limit. The spirituality was controlled by her, and it naturally became the holy light that appeared out of thin air in the darkness.

If this is the case, everything will be figured out.

"How long will it take for other clergy to cast divine spells, and how long will it take for the injury just now to heal?"

"Generally not, they need to rest after casting."

Lance used Tamara's injury as a reference, and when the nun said the difference between the two, it was equivalent to affirming his guess.

At this moment, Lance was convinced that he was right, and if this was the case, everything would explain why the remaining nuns were executed.

Because these people who were not allowed to have access to extraordinary power, now suddenly awakened, what if they awakened together?
Neither the abbot nor the church allowed this uncontrolled situation to happen.

You are the one who holds the power of interpretation. You have been in direct contact with the Holy Light, so what use is there for us?

After Lance figured it out, he knew that this was the answer that really killed the church in the nun's heart.

I hurriedly told her about it, and the nun also seemed a little strange after knowing everything, but what she said to herself surprised Lance again.

"That's the only way to explain why the man named Leonard who betrayed the church still has the power of the Holy Light. It was the Holy Light who affirmed him, not the Church. We were all deceived..."

It is conceivable that Lance was shocked when he heard this. He is so familiar with Leonard, why didn't he know that he still has this skill?
Was Leonard hiding something from himself?

Lance was silent, but still decided to believe that Leonard would not conceal it for no reason. This matter needs investigation to know the reason.

Dang even tentatively communicated with the nun, insinuating Leonard's Holy Light power.

"It's very slight, but I did feel a faint divine power when he was emotional."

The nun didn't have much scheming, she didn't realize that it was a temptation, and told the situation directly.

Lance felt relieved after learning the general situation from the nun. It seems that Leonard didn't hide it on purpose, and he didn't even know about it.

To be honest, Lance didn't understand it either, because Leonard had confirmed before him that Leonard did not have the talent of a transcendent.

Is it true that if you let him believe in the sun, you will believe in something?

No way……
