The huge stone pillars of the Goddess of Life's temple made it look extremely solemn. The hall was filled with a comfortable and gentle light. Anyone who bathed in the divine light of the Goddess of Life would be refreshed and cured of all illnesses. The source of the light was the Stone of Life held in the hands of a lifelike statue of the Goddess of Life on the altar. It was an oval gem that was smaller than a fist, and it emitted divine light. It was said that the Goddess of Life's temple had been placed in this position since it was first built. Legend had it that it was given by the Goddess of Life to the world to treat their wounds. It was the treasure of the Goddess of Life's temple. Every year, during the Creation Festival and the Thanksgivings, many believers of the Goddess of Life would travel thousands of miles to receive the baptism of its divine light. Usually, the priests of the temples would use the divine light of the Stone of Life to treat the patients. It was also because of the existence of the Stone of Life that the healing spells of the Temple of the Goddess of Life were the only ones that could compare to the Temple of Light of the Goddess of Light, who was also the Goddess of Order, Yaxi Jie.
Today wasn't Sunday, and there were no patients with serious injuries. If it wasn't a fatal injury, the priest would treat it himself without the help of the Stone of Life. There were only a few people praying in front of the statue of the goddess in the hall. Upon closer inspection, they were all beautiful girls. However, other than the girl with long wine-red hair in the middle, none of them seemed to be very focused and devout. Their eyes would occasionally glance at the most devout girl, and they would even talk to each other with small movements like blinking and pouting.
"Ya! I can't take it anymore! Big Sister Lin! How long are you going to do this?”The red-clothed girl with curly hair finally couldn't help but stand up, rubbing her knees that were aching from kneeling. It turned out that these girls were Lin and her good friends. After the strange person who sent Lin a letter yesterday saying that her brother had passed away, Lin returned to her residence and sat there for the entire night. Lin's good friends took turns to accompany her. Early this morning, when the girls accompanying Lin were still sleepy and groggy, Lin suddenly ran out. The girls hurriedly chased after her without bothering to wash up and tidy up. Fortunately, Lin did not do anything extreme and only went to the temple to pray. The girls were relieved. Prayer was something Lin had to do every day, so they did not care about tidying up their ladylike appearance and accompanied Lin to pray. However, Lin's prayer continued until now. It was almost noon. From time to time, a sound that did not match the solemn atmosphere of the Divine Hall could be heard in the hall.
After the curly-haired red-robed girl got up, the other girls also got up and surrounded Lin, trying to pull her up, but they did not succeed. The girls were helpless. They knew Lin's stubborn temper. Seeing their good friend like this made their hearts ache. For a moment, they were speechless and thought of a way.
"If only Sister Holy Maiden was here!”Some girl suddenly broke the silence.
"Yes, I am!" All the ladies agreed, but the Saintess was not so easy to meet. It was not that they did not want to meet her, but the Saintess often went to the temples of the Goddess of Life to help those who were suffering from pain, or the Saintess studied healing magic and the scriptures in the temples. The girls couldn't help but feel discouraged.
"Who's missing me?" A magnetic female voice echoed in the hall. The women turned around and saw three people walking in. The one walking in front was a young girl in a white priest robe with golden edges. She wore a veil and exuded a holy and hazy beauty. People could not help but imagine what kind of peerless face was under the veil. If this wasn't the Holy Maiden, who else could it be? The girls who were worried suddenly had a backbone. They surrounded the Holy Maiden and shouted happily. For a moment, no one paid attention to the other two people. They were all chattering. The Holy Maiden could not hear clearly and only knew that it was related to Lin.
"Eh? Princess Yue Ni! And Brother Sang En!" Finally, someone noticed the other two, and the girls started to make a commotion again.
"Brother Sang En!" The curly-haired girl in red took the lead and ran to Sang En and Yue Ni. She said happily," You're finally back. It's so boring for me to practice martial arts alone! "So it's red! Don't worry, I'll be back for a long time. Also, I heard from the princess that your sister will be back soon. I'm afraid that no one will be there to accompany you!”The man who spoke was Sang En. He looked to be around 23 or 24 years old. He had a tall and mighty figure, a handsome face, golden hair that shone like the sun, and a calm aura of an expert. He was also wearing a golden armor. Sang En's heroic image was worthy of being one of the youngest twelve templar knights in the temple of the Goddess of Life. He was on par with the young and handsome earth knight, Lagersis, the deputy commander of the knights of the palace of Bezos.
"Ah! Lin fainted!" One of the girls realized that when the Saintess entered and everyone's attention was on her, Lin had fainted. The Holy Maiden checked Lin and found nothing unusual. Only then did everyone relax. The girls carried Lin to the back hall and placed her on the Holy Maiden's bed. The Holy Maiden checked her again and cast a " calming spell " before leaving one person to watch over her. The rest walked to the corridor not wanting to disturb Lin's rest.
"What happened to Lin?" The Princess and the Saintess were very concerned about Lin. In order to understand the matter, they asked the young girls as they walked.
At this moment, Sang En walked over anxiously. He had been waiting for her in the corridor just now and had been worried sick. He had asked about Saint Lin's condition and only heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that Saint Lin was fine. He then looked at the girls, wanting to know what had happened. All the women present knew what was going on, but they didn't say anything. It was not good to interfere in other people's affairs.
The girls started chattering again, but unfortunately, they didn't say anything clearly.
"Stop arguing! Let me tell you!" It was the red-robed girl with curly hair whom Sang En had called Red. Seeing that the Saintess, Princess, and Thorne had no objections, he began to talk about what happened at the Magic Academy yesterday.
"Yesterday…their martial arts were so powerful, especially that masked one. I didn't even have the strength to fight back…and that was it.”One Breath of Red finally explained what had happened yesterday.
"It's him! It must be him!" Princess Yue Ni became happy.
"Who is it?" Everyone looked at Princess Yue Ni and wanted her to voice the doubts in their hearts. All the girls present, including the Saintess, were worried about Lin, so they all wanted to figure out the ins and outs of this matter. As a warrior, Sang En's intuition told him that he might have an opponent of his age, so he also focused.
"Don't worry! Don't rush! Listen to me slowly!" At this moment, the princess was in high spirits. She cleared her throat and vividly described the encounter with Xue Yu on the road. Everyone felt as if they were in it. While they clearly understood the thrilling encounter of the princess on the road and their emotions fluctuated along with her narration, they also felt the cruelty and coldness of Xue Yu and his four subordinates.
Princess Yue Ni was not as afraid after experiencing it, and she spoke with an exhilarated expression. The girls were shocked when they heard this. Thinking back to how they were so close to such a terrifying person yesterday, they couldn't help but feel glad that they were still standing here. Red kept muttering," No wonder Lin called him a demon!”
The Holy Maiden frowned when she heard this. She did not expect there to be such a person who killed people like mowing grass. She was the Saintess of the Temple of the Goddess of Life and had been taught to love all life since she was young. She had always been committed to using her healing magic to help everyone who needed help. Being able to treat a dying person was the most satisfying thing for her. At the same time, she also felt sad for the deaths of those she could not save, so she worked hard to learn more advanced healing magic to save those lives. After listening to Princess Yue Ni's narration, she felt a sense of defeat and had the idea of stopping the demon that Princess Yue Ni spoke of.
Sang En had a different feeling. He felt that he wanted to fight Xue Yu now. Although he was a Temple Knight of the Temple of the Goddess of Life and had the creed of cherishing his life, he would never show mercy to those bandits. Every time the Holy Knights protected the Saintess, they would be the vanguard to clear the "road". They would not let the Saintess see such a bloody scene.
"Yesterday, they left the Moon Garden and disappeared. I even discussed this matter with Imperial Father for a long time! This was great! Hey, Hong, where is Xue Yu now?”Princess Yue Ni asked. She thought that she had found Xue Yu and the others, but she shook her head blankly when she saw the red. She felt that her heart kept falling.
Everyone was thinking about their own things. At this moment, Lin had also woken up and walked out with the young girl who had accompanied her. The Holy Maiden and the others comforted Lin again. Lin said that she was fine. However, when Sang En saw Lin, he seemed very nervous and restrained, and his voice was also lowered by half. Lin did not seem to notice it and exchanged a few words with Sang En in her usual calm manner. Then, she started chatting with the Saintess whom she had not seen for a long time. Sang En was left standing helplessly at the back as he watched the Saintess, Princess Yue Ni, and Lin leave with a smile. The nosy girls standing beside him shook their heads and looked at Sang En with pity. Falling flowers have feelings, flowing water is heartless!
Thinking that everyone hadn't had breakfast yet and it was almost noon, the Holy Maiden invited everyone to eat together. Of course, no one was unwilling. In a living room of the temple, the girls were comforting him, talking, laughing, and fooling around. The Saintess and the depressed princess accompanied Lin and wanted to comfort her. Sang En tactfully said that he had a mission and left the world of the girls.
"Yueni, is there something that you're unhappy about?”Lin didn't need to address Yue Ni as 'princess' or 'your highness' anymore since there wasn't anyone else around. After calming down the pain of losing a loved one, Lin, who had always cared for her, noticed Yue Ni's unhappiness with her sharp eyes. Seeing that Lin seemed to be fine, the Holy Maiden also paid attention to Yue Ni and listened to what she said.
" It's nothing. It's just that Xue Yu has gone missing. I sent people to look for him yesterday, but they didn't find any clues…" Yue Ni said that it was nothing, but Lin could tell that she was very concerned about it at a glance. Otherwise, with her personality, she wouldn't be as unhappy as she was now.
"Why are you looking for him?" Lin didn't understand what use that greedy demon who only knew how to kill would have for the country.
"En, Imperial Father said that a person with such superb martial arts skills like him should be very helpful to the country. If possible, Imperial Father will give him an official position like Commander of Ten Thousand Cavalry!”Although Yue Ni said that it was her father who said it, this was actually what she thought in her heart. However, Xue Yu's identity was still unknown, so it was still impossible to conclude.
"Commander Wan! Him?" Lin cried out in surprise. This attracted the attention of the other girls, who crowded around to see what they were talking about.
"That's right!" Yue Ni said matter-of-factly. Then, she thought of something and smiled. Everyone was wondering about her change when Yue Ni spoke," Hehe! Lin, can you help me?"
"Alright!" The kind Lin agreed without thinking.
"Didn't Xue Yu promise your brother to take care of you? If Xue Yu comes looking for you, help me keep him, okay?”Yue Ni's expression was a little bashful.
Lin almost blurted out,"No!”However, before Lin could think clearly, she heard Yue Ni say righteously,"As long as he becomes a citizen of the kingdom, he will be bound by the rules. He won't kill people for no reason! Moreover, it was beneficial to the kingdom! Please! I'm begging you!" Lin's thoughts were obviously in a mess. She didn't know how to get along with Xue Yu, the person her brother had entrusted to take care of her. He was the kind of person that he hated the most, who treated life like grass. However, he couldn't get rid of this person that he hated the most in his mind. Thinking back, he only killed those bandits who didn't know how many people he killed. Was he wrong? She did not know. And now, she finally realized that his actions on the road were mostly to anger her. She still remembered those days when she was sulking every day. At that time, he was smiling. It was a mischievous smile. He was smiling so proudly! Lin felt a little angry when she thought of this. She comforted herself that everything was the devil's trick and that she should not be angry, but she did not know why she could not control herself. As she thought about it, she subconsciously clenched her fists. It was as if this detestable fellow was right in front of her and she wanted to knock off his mask.
The bystanders saw Lin gnashing her teeth, her fists trembling slightly. They thought that Lin must hate that Xue Yu to the core. The princess saw that Lin had yet to reply and hurriedly asked the saintess for help. When the Holy Maiden heard Yue Ni's words, she thought that it might not be a bad thing for such a person to be restrained, so she cooperated with Yue Ni and said,""En, this is indeed a good idea! Lin, this could be considered saving the world!”
"Alright then! If it's possible, I'll help." Lin thought that there was no harm in agreeing. The young girl at the side was confused and started chattering again. Finally, Red came to a realization and said,"Oh no! The princess must have fallen in love with that demon!”Everyone felt that it made sense when they heard that. They looked at Yue Ni and saw that her face was flushed red and she was extremely shy. Just as the girls were about to tease each other, a person barged in.
This person was Sang En. He reported to the Saintess anxiously,"Saintess, Master Feinan has sent a few seriously injured people who need immediate treatment. The High Priest hasn't returned yet, so I can only ask you to go!”
"Alright, let's go!" When the Holy Maiden heard that there were seriously injured people, she quickly got up and went to the main hall. Lin and the others quickly followed.
At first glance, the few injured people gave these innocent girls a fright. The few injured people were no longer in shape. When the Saintess arrived, the priests in the temple had already washed the wounds with holy water and stopped the bleeding. Unfortunately, they had exhausted their magic power because there were too many wounds on the injured people.
The Saintess was indeed different. She easily cast the Goddess 'Blessing (Advanced Light Healing Spell) and the few of them were completely healed. The priests looked at the Saintess with reverence. For a moment, the hall was filled with cheers such as "Long live the Saintess!" However, the Saintess was not happy. She only looked at the few people who had just woken up from their coma. They were awake, and their injuries had been healed by the Holy Maiden's magic. However, they could only move very limited. Some could only move their necks, and some could only move one hand. They tried hard to stand up, but they could not. They began to mutter in pain. Everyone also noticed this and looked at them strangely. The Holy Maiden squatted down to check. After a long time, she stood up.
"Sister, what happened?" Lin asked. This had never happened before. In the past, as long as the Saintess used the Goddess 'Blessing, the injured would immediately become lively.
The Saintess didn't answer, only turning to Master Feinan and asking,""Master Feinan, who injured them like this?”
" Oh, it's actually their fault. It's like this…" Master Feinan respectfully explained how Becks and the others had injured these people, his words full of praise for the swords." I've never seen such a sword before, and I've never seen such a way of using it. It's really too…Sigh…Right, the four of them are called Rubel, Hart, and Kanter.”
"It's them!" Lin and Princess Yue Ni looked at each other. Clearly, they had both thought of it.
"You know each other?" The Holy Maiden asked.
"The four of them are the four teenagers who followed Xue Yu. Sigh, these guys are really unlucky. How did they meet them?”Princess Yue Ni looked at the person on the ground with pity.
"What happened to them? Wasn't it cured? "But this…" Lin was still concerned about the patient's condition.
"Lin, you should know that healing magic has an extremely limited effect on internal damage, right? I don't know why they seem to have been injected with battle energy, I don't understand either! We'll have to ask the person who injured them!" The Holy Maiden sighed. What she feared the most was this helpless situation! No matter what, the effect of healing magic could only be effective when the injured person's internal organs were intact. This was her helplessness and the helplessness of the past saintesses.
"Sang En!"
"What can I do for you, Saintess?"
"Put them in the back hall first!”The Holy Maiden ordered," Everyone, go back! I'll definitely find a way to cure them!" Sang En and the soldiers of the Temple sent the wounded away. Everyone left, leaving Master Feinan behind.
"Your Highness, do you know these people? "Master Feinan asked.
"Yes."
"Can you tell me where they live?”
"We are also looking for them."
"Oh!" Master Feinan was somewhat disappointed.
"Lin, where are you going?" Princess Yue Ni asked when she saw Lin angrily walking out.
"Go find him." Lin turned around and replied," Who?" Princess Yue Ni did not understand.
"Xue Yu," Lin said as she walked out.
"Lin, wait for us!" The group of girls followed. The Saintess and Princess Yue Ni watched them leave.
When Lano and I returned home, Becks and the others hadn't returned yet. I was bored, so I started to look through the Lano family's books. After all, there were quite a few books about noble families, and the scope was quite wide. I read it with interest. History books were especially attractive to an outsider like me. History was often written in blood and fire, and this world was no exception. From the war between the gods and demons ten thousand years ago to the war between the hundred races, from the war between races to the war between countries…If it wasn't full of praises, it would be a good novel. After reading the book, I was not only curious about these strange races, but also about the divine weapons and forbidden spells that appeared from time to time in the book. The Saints had these two things. In the Royal Palace and the Guild of Magic, hehe, got it? I have a good idea…hehe!
Becks, Rubel, Hart, and Kanter came back and reported to me what they had encountered today. They didn't pay much attention to it and continued their training after lunch. Today's lesson was…Who cares, just teach whatever comes to mind and tire yourself out! Don't say that I'm ruthless. Compared to my masters, I'm too kind. Back then, 80% of me died from being "educated", and 20% of me died. That's why I'm able to reach the late stage of the Spirit Silence Stage at such a young age. As for my new disciples entering the Dao to cultivate, en…I'm not in a hurry!
