Arad's unruly savior

Chapter 3709 No Dowry, No Gift

Confession room.

Obeis stood up, pursed her rosy lips, gave him a pretty and reproachful look, then lowered her head slightly and with a "gulp", a stream of warm liquid was swallowed into her stomach.

Immediately, she pushed Ye Lin's shoulder and asked him to leave the confessional. She was on duty here today, listening to the confessions of the penitents, and she couldn't leave her post without permission as it was not yet time for a rest in the evening.

Although sometimes no one comes to confess all day long, after all, it takes great courage to be willing to confess one's sins to others, this shift work is not busy.

But there are also people who really need psychological counseling from clergy. Generally, there are three to five clergy on duty every day in the Remidia Cathedral. In churches in small places, there is only one, and the schedule is irregular. If you want to confess to a clergyman, it is more up to fate.

Obeis knew that most people with sin in their hearts would choose to pray silently under the cross and angel sculptures in the chapel, hoping that the light would shine into the darkness in their hearts.

The real sin is something that one dare not expose openly.

Ye Lin was pushed out of the confessional and watched Obeis reenter the listening room. He did not leave immediately, but knocked on the door with his fingers and said with a smile: "Obeis, I remember that I brought you a whole set of high-end cosmetics from the God Realm. They are all natural, spiritual, gentle and harmless to the skin."

Even though Obes has reached a contractual relationship with Archangel Raguel similar to that between Saint Michel and Archangel Michael, and no longer has to worry about her own lack of holy power, she still maintains her habit of being a makeup fanatic and reversely affects Raguel with her magical state.

As long as Obeis carefully and delicately paints her makeup to make herself happy, Laguel will also feel that she is in excellent condition and can exert combat power beyond her own level.

On the contrary, she felt sluggish and had no motivation to do anything.

Obeis's cheerful voice came from inside: "Okay, put it in my room, I won't give you the key."

This guy has spatial abilities, so he doesn't need to go through the front door, and he rarely goes through the front door.

"Obeis, shall we have dinner together tonight?" Ye Lin asked again.

"Okay, you treat us. Let's call Galanthis and Yuena to come along. Sister Lucille is here too. She went to the back street and will be back in the evening. If Xiao Hina can get up, call her to come along. If she can't, pack up for her."

Obeis had no concept of dating at all. When it comes to eating, the food tastes better when there are more people around.

The food in the Cathedral of Remidia is actually quite good, with bread baked that day, fresh vegetables, meat, smoked ham, and soup at every meal. However, compared to professional restaurants, it is definitely lacking in taste and richness.

She and Galanthis eat in the cafeteria every day. They can't be said to be "moonlight clans", but in fact they don't have much left every month. One of them loves to buy all kinds of cosmetics. For example, a bottle of skin care water costs hundreds of dollars.

Another one was obsessed with stuffing stuffed bear dolls in his room, and from time to time he would go to the underground railway center to see the giant pandas under the pretext of "guidance."

More importantly, most of their monthly salary is donated to those in real need.

The prosperity and wealth of Huttonmar is like the sun in the daytime, so bright that it is charming to the eyes. However, the indifference and poverty at night are like the other side of the opposite, lingering in the slums. Hunger and poverty always exist.

"Obeisi, are the cosmetics in your room?"

"Well, although I really want to tear it down now, I'm slacking off... bah, work."

"Obeis, I'm going to visit your grandfather."

"Go ahead, as long as he doesn't beat you up."

"Obeis, let's get married."

"OK, all right."

After a few seconds of silence, Obeis pushed the door open, her beautiful eyes filled with smiles, her mouth curled up, and she reminded in a brisk tone:

"The Roshbach family is small, and except for relics of special significance, all extra property has been donated. I don't have any dowry, and of course, I don't want your dowry anymore."

"I agree. All you have to do next is convince my grandfather."

After saying that, Obeis closed the door of the confessional again, covered his hot face with his hands, then sat on the chair and swayed his body gently.

Come to think of it, Ye Lin had already broken off the horns on Ozma's head and gave them to his grandfather. That was the original betrothal gift for her.

If grandpa hadn't always been unhappy with Ye Lin, feeling awkward and gloomy, she and Ye Lin should have been married long ago.

…………

Hedonmar, outside the city.

The moat is covered with a thick layer of ice, and the large lake connected to the moat is now open to vehicles and horses, attracting some ice-skating tourists, with probably hundreds of people coming and going.

Fengying and Paris set up a windproof tent on a frozen lake, covered it with thick leather cushions, dug a few holes in the ice, and each used two rods to fish for fresh winter fish.

There is not much to do in winter and near the end of the year, and everything is idle.

Paris sat cross-legged on a leather cushion. Today she was wearing thick black silk leggings with a layer of Urimuen cotton thermal pants underneath, outlining a pair of slender and plump legs.

She was eating melon seeds, which tasted like butter, and complained:

"I feel so cold in winter, I can't even stretch my feet out of the quilt. In comparison, summer is still better. In summer, I feel so hot, I can't sleep even if I take off all my clothes, I sweat all over. In comparison, winter is still better. People are prone to self-defeating."

"What about spring and autumn?" Feng Ying asked casually, her eyes fixed on the phone in her hand, checking the messages in the family group.

The most recent one is from Wushen, who was asking how to turn off the automatic renewal of membership for certain software.

"Are there those two seasons?" Paris asked back, and then she and Fengying shrugged their shoulders. Yes, the weather was strange. It seemed to get hot all of a sudden and cold all of a sudden.

The door of the tent was suddenly opened, and a chilling cold air rushed in. There was also Lucille's suspicious eyes that seemed to think everyone was a pretender. She was clearly trying to force a smile, but her face gave people a chilling feeling.

"Lucille?" Feng Ying was quite surprised to see the newcomer. How could she see the hot-tempered firebrand here? But she understood after thinking about it.

At the end of each year, the second and third tier temples across the continent of Arad would send people to the Great Cathedral of Hearthmar to summarize the year and plan for the next year. Lucille was the representative of the Inquisition.

Now she still has the holy relic of the Inquisition, the "Law of Conviction", buckled around her waist.

Lucille was supposed to be looking for Colinjie, but Colinjie came to fish with them.

"Hello, I heard Ke Linjie is here, where did she go?"

Lucille told the two that she went to the back street first and didn't find Colinjie at her house. After asking around, she found out that she and Paris had gone out of town to fish.

"Kolinjie, she heard there's a dog sledding project here, so she went there to play. You go look for the dogs." Paris replied, then handed her a handful of sunflower seeds in a very familiar manner.

They all lived in the backstreet slums and had considerable abilities. After a few visits, Paris and Collinjie became familiar with each other.

"Thank you." Lucille nodded, then said that she didn't want to eat melon seeds, took a step back, and closed the door of the tent again.

There had been an ankle-deep snowfall in Hutton Mar not long ago, and the ice was covered in white. Lucille had excellent eyesight, and after a quick look around, she immediately spotted the dog sled. Then her eyes suddenly froze, and she blinked hard in disbelief.

The sled dogs were pitch black and as strong as calves, with conspicuous golden markings on their backs and limbs, and a golden collar around their necks that looked as if it were made of gold.

Next to him, a burly man was laughing and skillfully collecting money from others.

"The dog pulling the sled, that is, the Shikigami Xuanwu... He should be the third of the famous four-man team of priests." Lucille pulled the corners of her stiff mouth, feeling her thoughts in a mess.

I heard that this is just the basic form of the Shikigami, a member of the same clan as the Four Spirits of Heaven. The real Four Spirits of Heaven do not look like this.

Collinjie was not there, and Lucille continued to scan.

Suddenly, a dark red light appeared in the distance, which was particularly conspicuous in the clear sky, and it contained a smell of tyranny and blood, and an evil breath was spreading.

"heresy?"

Lucille subconsciously reached for the "Law of Conviction" at her waist. She was not carrying any weapons, and the battle axe was too big and heavy. It would be very troublesome to carry it with her when she went out on a daily basis, and it would attract a lot of attention.

"over there."

Lucille quickly determined the location and rushed to the place where the evil power broke out. She was very familiar with the aura of this power, it was engraved in her bones and she would never forget it.

Pretender!

The third brother who ran the dog sled business also had a serious expression on his face. He lowered his head and said something to the Shikigami Xuanwu, asking it to stay where it was to protect the tourists. Then he also set off for the place where the evil aura broke out.

Soon, Lucille saw a familiar figure. Collinjie was glowing like blood, her lips looked like they had just drunk blood, and she was holding a boy whose life or death was uncertain in her hands. Blood was also flowing down the boy's cheek.

There were a few boys nearby who all looked terrified, trembling with fear and their teeth chattering.

"Ke Linjie! What are you doing?"

After seeing this scene, Lucille's chest suddenly surged with anger. She took off the Law of Conviction from her waist, waved her hand, and red flames rolled up and surged into the sky, like a burning sun, turning into a huge flaming battle axe.

She said that pretenders should be eradicated completely and that evil hearts did not deserve God's mercy and forgiveness. It was Obeis and Galanthis who insisted on believing that unfortunate people should have a chance to start over, so they let Collinjie leave the cathedral.

Several years have passed since the Second Dark Crusade. As one of the survivors, Collinjie has been disguising herself for so long, but now she can't help but reveal her evil heart. Lucille is so angry that her eyebrows are about to burn. She approaches with a flaming battle axe. She must bring the victim's blood to the cathedral for them to see.

"Kolinjie, what's going on? Put that kid down." The third brother also frowned. He didn't make any attacking moves on the surface, but he was secretly accumulating strength, ready to strike with thunder at any time.

A sneer appeared on Ke Linjie's blood-red lips. She then put down the boy she was holding and walked a few steps to the side.

"I need an explanation, Collin." Lucille's voice was filled with suppressed rage and a desire to attack. The Law of Conviction had opened its cover, and divine power was surging out.

Ke Linjie chuckled, looked at the two people who were already alert, and said sarcastically: "Not bad, you didn't tear me into pieces directly. You are much more rational than before."

Immediately, she pointed at the child lying on the ground and said, "If you don't keep him warm immediately, he will die of hypothermia in a quarter of an hour at most."

The third brother heard this while keeping an eye on Ke Linjie's movements. He walked towards the unconscious boy, checked him, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "The bloody wound on his face should be caused by a bump, not a tear from teeth or nails."

Then he looked at a huge ice hole not far away and the broken ice floating inside it. He frowned and had a vague guess in his heart.

Those are huge ice holes dug for fishing. With the permission and leadership of the city hall, skilled fishermen will dig hundreds of holes of different sizes on the ice surface, and use specific tools and techniques to carry out a dragnet fishing. At the time of harvest, tens of thousands of kilograms of fish can be caught in the net at one time.

The ice hole that had been dug through was frozen again, and the ice layer formed was naturally not as thick and hard as the ice layer in other places. There was also no warning sign erected here, which led to someone falling.

The third brother took out a Suzaku Talisman and skillfully manipulated the power of fire to dry the boy's wet clothes, providing warm heat and creating an environment to keep out the cold.

At the same time, he asked the children who seemed to be frightened nearby, saying that he was a clergyman of the Remidia Cathedral, and asked them not to be afraid and what was going on.

Several children came to their senses and explained the reason in unison. It was exactly as he had guessed. When the boy was skating on the snowboard, the ice under his feet suddenly collapsed, and he fell directly into the ice hole, and his cheek hit the angular edge.

Seeing their companions falling into the ice hole, losing their strength after a few splashes and slowly sinking to the bottom of the water, they thought of "death" one by one and were so scared that they stood there.

It was Kelinjie who used her magic to pull the boy out of the cold water.

"Sorry, we are too sensitive." The third child apologized to Ke Linjie, then patted the boy on the back of the head and said that he would take these guys home and let their parents discipline them strictly.

Lucille put away the flaming battle axe, took a few deep breaths, and looked at Collinjie with a complicated look in her eyes. Then she found a few colorful boards and inserted them around the ice hole to make a conspicuous mark.

"Oh, weren't you very aggressive just now? Now you've calmed down." On the way back, Collinjie deliberately made a loud sneering sound. She had finally caught a chance to hit Lucille in the face, and she couldn't let it go easily. She had to seize it well.

"Sorry." Lucille looked straight ahead, her face as cold as if someone owed her money, but she also apologized to Collinjie.

After hearing the other party's apology, Ke Linjie wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to mock him a few more times, but suddenly, for some reason, she lost the interest in making a fool of herself.

After the Second Dark Crusade, the Remidia Cathedral gave her a chance to start over. Because of her, the relationship between Obeis, Galanthis, Tidus, and Lucille became strained.

Lucille would come to Huttonmar Backstreet once every quarter to check on Colinjie's condition and make sure she had truly become her new self and whether she was still doing evil.

Collinjie knew that her past identity was too sensitive, and the fact that Lucille didn't kill her with an axe in private was already a great measure of patience and progress for this arsonist.

A black and red energy ball the size of a fist condensed in the palm of Colinjie's hand, emitting an evil aura that made Lucille frown.

Is it evil...Lucille suddenly asked a question.

"My power comes from the hatred in my heart and the gift from Ozma. Even though Ozma is dead, all the Blood-Drinking Crosses have been destroyed, and there are no pretenders in the world anymore, the power of hatred remains."

Ke Linjie waved her hand to disperse the ominous energy ball. She would think from the perspective of others, so she would not say that energy has no good or bad, it depends on how it is used, because the bloody history has long nailed the pretenders to the pillar of "sin", and their power has been recognized by the world as evil and ominous.

Lucille looked sideways for a moment and said, "How about dispersing your power and practicing again?"

"Big sister, I'm almost thirty years old, and you want me to give up all my cultivation and start practicing again?"

"If you have some free time, why don't you find a second job or find a partner to vent your anger on."

Ke Linjie shook her head mockingly and returned to the fishing tent.
