Quadruple split.
Chapter 2537 Louise Oran
Chapter 2537 Louise Orlan
"calm down."
Tychus slowly walked into the warmly decorated 'hut', and after realizing that there was no convenient place for him to sit down, he leaned against the bookcase helplessly, pressed his hands slightly downward, and emphasized again: "Calm down, Ms. Louise Orlan."
"Louise Orland?"
The woman, who looked to be under 30 years old, with dazzlingly fair skin and golden hair, scratched her cheek curiously and asked in confusion, "Who is that?"
The Just Pope sighed deeply, and helplessly stared at the woman with a clear and holy temperament. Although her delicate appearance was not absolutely beautiful, her presence was so strong with her sparkling eyes that seemed to have starlight twinkling in them. He looked at her for a long time, and after confirming that she was not playing a trick on him, he said helplessly: "That's your name."
"what?"
The woman named Louise Orlan widened her eyes in surprise and exclaimed, "Isn't my name Hong Jiu?!"
"Red Nine was your former code name, and it was automatically returned to you when you left the Grand Inquisition."
Tychus immediately guessed that the other party was probably "drowsy" and shrugged his shoulders, patiently explaining: "And Louise Oran is your new name. Although it has little to do with "Red Nine", [Louise] and [Olan] are taken from the two most famous "red wines" in the Sanctuary. Let's just say it's a commemoration of the past."
Louise suddenly realized and said in surprise, "I remember now! It's true that my name is Louise now, but Kevin doesn't know, so I still want to call you Hong Jiu."
"It's simple. If you see Kevin again someday, just say 'Red Nine' instead of 'Louise Oran'."
Tychus did not pour cold water on the other party out of ignorance of the situation. Instead, he emphasized after making a casual remark: "But in front of others, you must remember your current name."
"okay."
Louise nodded vigorously and grinned at the old man, "Thank you, Brother Tychus."
"Tsk tsk, look at my beard, I look like an older brother."
When he was young, he met Louise, who was still working in the Grand Inquisition and had not returned the code name "Red Nine". For some reason, he became the latter's guardian and one of the few friends. The just pope, who had been worried about this love-brained girl for many years, smacked his lips and laughed, "You're welcome, Louise."
"So, what about Kevin?"
"I didn't know where to go!"
"You promised me you would help find it!"
"This is the only time your brain works!"
"I don't care, I want Kevin!"
After a non-constructive argument, Louise Orlan put her hands on her hips and glared at Tychus angrily: "Help me find it!"
Tychus: “…”
It must be said that although as a rare "Living Saint", Louise Orlan is a very special existence in the Justice Church system, but compared with her personality, her characteristics as a "Living Saint" seem less special.
In fact, Louise was a different girl from the moment she was born.
Unfortunately, in the eyes of most people, this "difference" is an absolute misfortune.
The girl who didn't even have a name back then, was blessed by the gods the moment she opened her eyes, and became the owner of 'divine eyes'.
But unfortunately, it was only her eyes that were blessed, not the body itself.
Thus, the blessing turned into a curse, and the girl had to have her eyes sewn up because the power of these eyes would destroy her, who had never been blessed by the gods.
Although she did not truly possess the eyes of the God of Justice, it was a pity that this uncontrollable power, as if passively sent by God, could not be resolved by external forces at all. Just as ordinary people could not control who their parents were, the girl could not sever this ambiguous connection with the gods.
In this way, despite everyone's infinite sympathy for her, the girl could only be sent to the place farthest from "God's grace", that is, the Grand Inquisition, which exists as the dark side of order in the shadow of the Holy Church United Cathedral.
That is the most mysterious organization in the entire Holy Church Union. Even Mo Tan has not found out any constructive information. All he knows is that it carries almost the dark side of the entire Holy Church Union.
Before an "accident" happened, Louise had been working as a "corpse priest" in the Grand Inquisition under the name "Hong Jiu". As a native clergyman who was sent here without any fault, Hong Jiu was actually well taken care of when working in the Grand Inquisition. If it weren't for the many bad tasks that would make her increasingly alienated from those divine eyes, thus gaining a glimmer of hope to return to "normal life", she would not even be placed in any dangerous environment.
It is also because of this that Hong Jiu is the only one among the same group of walking corpse priests whose personality is close to that of a normal person.
As for the opportunity to meet the current Just Pope, it was during a mission that should not have been dangerous, but ended up completely getting out of control.
In addition to Hong Jiu and Tychus, another key figure in that mission was a Dawn Paladin named Kevin.
No one knew why, but Hong Jiu had a crush on Kevin from the very beginning, so much so that even though she couldn't open her eyes at the time, she emerged from the darkness and wanted to chat with him.
What is intriguing is that at the end of the mission that went completely out of control due to the appearance of the Archbishop of the End, resulting in the almost annihilation of both the enemy and our side, the unknown Kevin actually pulled Hong Jiu back from the brink of death and then mysteriously disappeared.
In the end, the true follower of the God of Justice successfully used Hong Jiu's "divine eyes" as a medium to directly complete the super-standard divine descent technique, allowing Hemmer to descend on him, thwarting the conspiracy of the Archbishop of the End. Hong Jiu, who was originally destined to be sacrificed as a "price" and get rid of the curse in the form of death and was canonized as a saint by the Justice Sect, was able to continue to live as a normal girl instead of a "walking corpse priest" with Kevin's help. But Kevin himself disappeared without a trace after the incident, as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth without a trace.
To be honest, if Tychus himself had not dealt with Kevin, he would probably suspect that the Paladin of the Dawn Sect was a character that Hong Jiu imagined because he was too depressed and did not actually exist in reality.
Unfortunately, although Tychus is very good at deceiving others, he finds it difficult to deceive himself, so he can only admit that Kevin is a living missing person with flesh and blood.
After returning to the City of Light, although he was in a coma most of the time due to his severe injuries, the top leaders of the Justice Sect confirmed that he had "lost the [Divine Eye] while saving his life", and immediately began to handle the resignation procedures for Hong Jiu from the Grand Inquisition.
Logically speaking, the only way for Hong Jiu to leave the Grand Inquisition is to "return" the divine eyes through an extremely dangerous and painful ritual after she turns thirty. Although there is a more than 70% chance of failure, if she is lucky enough to hold on to the end without triggering the divine punishment mechanism, she still has a chance to become an ordinary person again.
Of course, he is a truly ordinary person, no longer possessing extraordinary powers and memories of his years in the Grand Inquisition. He is "reborn" into a healthy, ordinary, normal person, and lives the rest of his life happily and without worries under the protection of the Holy Church Union.
It is also because of this that very few native walking corpse priests like Hong Jiu choose to "reborn". Although most of these people have let go of life and death, for them, losing the memory of the Grand Inquisition is equivalent to losing the past few decades of life. This means that the one who is "reborn" is actually another person, and "themselves" will "die" in that ceremony anyway, no matter what the result.
The same was true for Hong Jiu. Having never experienced even a day of normal life, she did not resist the days in the Grand Inquisition, and had no feelings about the so-called anti-God rituals.
However, after meeting Kevin during that mission, she had an urge to walk in the sun with him, and began to wonder whether she should try the ritual...
Even though she will lose all her memories about the Grand Inquisition, because the two met during a mission outside the Inquisition, she can apply to keep for herself the memory of "I have someone I care about very much, named Kevin in the Dawn Sect." Not only is the possibility of being approved very high, but because Hong Jiu is a native zombie priest and does not carry any sins, the Grand Inquisition will even help her within the scope of conditions, such as contacting the Dawn Sect to allow her to meet Kevin after her "rebirth."
Hong Jiu was confident that even if she had forgotten a lot of things, she would fall in love with Kevin again after meeting him.
As for losing her power and becoming an ordinary person, she had no problem with that because she really liked the feeling of having Kevin protecting her.
However, plans cannot keep up with changes. At the end of that mission, Hong Jiu, who almost died because of completely freeing the "God's Eyes", was not only "snatched away" by the young Tychus Folsom through a miraculous God's Descent, but also saved by the elixir that Kevin took out at the last moment, and returned to the City of Light alive.
The final result was perfect, because the divine eyes were not returned through "disobedience", but in a sense, the eyes were taken back by the god himself. Hong Jiu did not lose her power, and did not become an ordinary person, which meant that she could continue to work in the core agency of the Holy Church Union without having her memory in the Grand Inquisition erased.
Not only that, she will also receive exceptionally generous rewards.
You know, since Hong Jiu and other native zombie priests have no sin of their own, the attitude of the Holy Church Union towards them has always been "the organization owes you."
From this point, we can see that even if there are inevitably some not-so-glorious places within the organization, the overall style of the Holy Church Union can really stand up. It is much better than those religious organizations outside the game that always give out indulgences when nothing happens, shirk responsibilities when something goes wrong, and always act like "I don't know whether God owes you anything, but you owe our church anyway."
In short, according to tradition, all original walking corpse priests will be given the title of "Saint" after being "liberated". Regardless of whether they die during a mission or after challenging a blasphemous ritual, they will be commemorated with the highest standards by their respective sects and their families will be given extremely generous material compensation.
As for those original walking corpse priests who passed the ritual of disobeying the gods and were "reborn" as ordinary people, the Holy Church Union actually also believes that those people are dead, so not only will they be able to eat and drink well and live a worry-free life, they will also be given the title of "Saint" as a commemoration. Of course, this title is awarded to the past, not the reborn people.
The situation of Hong Jiu is very interesting. First of all, she is an innocent person who suffered an unexpected disaster. She has worked in the Grand Inquisition for nearly twenty years. She has shed blood, suffered injuries, made contributions, and worked hard. She fully meets the conditions for being posthumously named a "Saint".
The only problem is…she’s not dead, and she hasn’t lost her powers.
Although some people suggested simply erasing Hong Jiu's memory in the Grand Inquisition and letting her return directly to the Justice Sect to serve as a priest, Tychus, who was very influential within the Justice Sect, rejected this proposal and firmly disagreed with this operation.
Because it's 'unfair'.
Finally, after several rounds of negotiations, the Grand Inquisition and the top leaders of the Justice Cult agreed to preserve the memory of the zombie priest 'Red Nine' and make him the first [Living Saint], belonging to the Justice Cult.
Just like that, Hong Jiu returned the code name given to her by the Grand Inquisition, resigned from her duties as the Priest of the Walking Dead, and was given a new nice name, taken from two famous red wines in the Sanctuary - Louise Oran.
Tychus, who brought her back to the City of Light, became Louise's nominal guardian.
After that, in order to restore Louise's body, which was severely assimilated by divine power, the Justice Cult built this 'Blind Sanctuary' under the Great Cathedral to commemorate Louise who had not yet died and for her to live in while she was still alive.
Although Louise had been sleeping intermittently for quite a long time, and could only go out for a walk or a stroll with someone by her side when she was awake, her strength became stronger and stronger. Not only that, when she was sleeping because of the divine power in her body, the years could not leave any trace on her.
Because of this, even though Tychus has grown from a big young paladin to a big old pope, Louise's body and mind have only grown five or six years since she returned to the Just.
Because of this, she seems to still maintain a strong girlish heart.
Tychus could fully understand this, after all, most people couldn't mature while sleeping.
But what he couldn't understand was——
Louise Orlan's desperate love brain!
"I don't care! I want Kevin!"
The great living saint puffed up his cheeks, pointed at the old man and made an extremely willful declaration:
"Go find it for me!"
