Sir, this is not how bad women are used.

"Is this a heroic farewell hug? Are you so pessimistic about my return to the Central Diocese?"

"..."

Chu Yan was embarrassed, it seemed like it wasn't working.

He let go of the Pope as if nothing had happened, and then gently supported him.

900

Auntie, slowly lie back in bed.

"Then I'll leave first and come visit you tomorrow."

"and many more."

When Chu Yan turned to leave, Pope Camilla suddenly called him.

Chu Yan was shocked. Could it be that...it really worked? !

It is impossible to tell what Pope Camilla is thinking from her face, but her fatigue and weariness reveal an unconcealable nobility.

She didn't even want to raise her hand, she just nodded at the water cup on the bedside table and said:

"You just drank my water. Please pour me another glass. Thank you."

It seemed like he had just drunk up the glass of water.

"...Ahem."

Chu Yan silently walked over to get her another glass of water before leaving peacefully.

When Chu Yan came downstairs, he happened to meet Princess Melissa and asked quickly:

"Princess, last time you said that expressing possessiveness towards the other person can make her feel at ease. Does that sometimes fail to work?"

"It depends on the person. You can't just go find a random woman on the street and say 'I want to possess you', right?"

Chu Yan also knew this truth, so he always chose to hug acquaintances. He had a relationship with Pope Camilla before, which had gone beyond the scope of strangers and acquaintances. Unexpectedly, the effect was not so good.

I feel this can be used as a reference. If he were to take the liberty of hugging Mommy Losta now, he would most likely get the same reaction as Aunt Pope.

Let's forget it first.

Night, Parish

Josephine and Therese found Galana and the others together.

They had been in contact with their respective teachers recently and were determined to return to the Central Diocese, which was why Theresa was tired and wanted to rest.

All the work suddenly fell on her shoulders.

They will leave tonight.

Galana met Theresa and the others and apologized:

"I'm sorry. I really want to stand with you, Josephine and Therese, but the teacher is my elder family member. Therese, I'm sure you can understand our difficulties."

Josephine was usually gentle in front of Chu Yan, but now she regained her former strength and decisiveness as a nun. Her mature and beautiful face was filled with a calm coldness as she said calmly:

"I understand. That's why I specially prepared a carriage for you. This is a small gesture of kindness."

Vera was stunned for a moment, then waved her hand and said:

"Sister Josephine, we can use the teleportation stone to go back. There's no need to prepare this specially for us!"

Theresa didn't mean to be soft-hearted, but they were indeed not bad people, and she felt a little guilty about them turning against each other without any reason.

Just as she was still struggling to speak politely, not wanting to embarrass each other, Josephine showed no leniency at all. She said in a cold voice without allowing any questioning:

"Leave the teleportation stone here, and you can go back in the carriage."

Seeing that Josephine was so decisive, Theresa nodded in agreement:

"That's what I mean. I understand why you left, and you also understand our 'retention'."

Galana frowned, her face darkening, but she had no intention of giving in:

"Josephine, Therese, what do you mean? Do you know how long it takes to get back to the Central Diocese from here?!"

Vera didn't want to fight with her companions, but she had no other choice. She said coldly:

"Theresa, I didn't say anything before because you unfortunately fell into a state of loss of control. Now it seems that we need to have a competition before we leave to see how big the gap between you and me is over the years!"

There were still many clergymen walking around in the small parish, and when they saw this scene, they all expressed their confusion.

Why did the leaders start a quarrel? !

At this moment, a shadow emerged from the night.

Commander Deloya slowly descended from mid-air, and the black wings behind him shocked everyone in the small parish. They suspected that there was something wrong with their eyes.

Commander Deloya's eyes were nonchalant, and she didn't seem to have much hostility, but her gaze frightened Vera and the others.

"Leave the teleportation stone here, and everyone else can leave. If you really don't want to, then you guys can stay here too!

Do you need to test how big the gap is between you and me?"

Chapter 6: What a strong armpit pressure! (-)

Commander Deloya's momentum completely crushed Vera and other future pillars.

They are not weaklings, and they do not have the reckless courage of a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger. The stronger they are, the more they can feel the strength of this Commander of Discipline!

I couldn't even muster up the slightest desire to fight.

The fighting spirit under this kind of power gap can actually be more accurately described as "the desire to survive."

I haven't seen her for a few days, how strong is she...

Vera asked in disbelief: "Commander Deloya, have you... surpassed the realm of the Discipline Angel?!"

Commander Deluya did not respond to the doubts, and gave an ultimatum indifferently:

"Now is not the time to answer questions, but the time to see you off. The carriage waits for no one, and you don't have much time left to get on board."

After just a few words, Galana and others had no choice but to stay.

They had no choice but to grit their teeth, put down the teleportation stone tablet, and get on the carriage.

Josephine looked at the clergy who had come out. Many other clergymen from nearby buildings also leaned out to look around.

In such a situation

901

, the infighting among the leaders will spread unrest in people's hearts.

The former great nun looked at these compatriots whom she had once protected the most and said:

"This time, the gods will not guide you, and no one will find the best choice for you in the name of the gods' believers. You have to decide your own future.

If anyone wants to return to the Central Parish, tomorrow is your deadline."

The clergy in the parish suddenly felt that Josephine was a little strange. They hadn't figured out what happened tonight, but they were given this kind of notice without even an explanation or discussion...

Therese also looked at Josephine in surprise, thinking that she had really gotten rid of the past.

Admittedly, these grassroots clergy had done nothing wrong, but Josephine no longer had the patience she once had to deal with them.

She was well aware of the piety of these clergy, for Josephine herself had once been one.

Galana and the others are just a microcosm of the current situation. In the future, more clergymen will want to leave and follow them.

They have already witnessed the weirdness in the mysterious city-state, but if they were to contact people in the central diocese privately afterwards, they would still run back without hesitation.

There are not so many reasons. The church is everything in their lives. This is difficult to persuade them.

The church was the most gigantic existence in the past decades, hundreds, and thousands of years. Especially before the rise of the empire, it represented the absolute correctness of the world, and no one had ever doubted its decline, fall, or mistakes.

Even if grassroots clergy are aware that something is wrong with the Gospel Church, they still have a sense of luck, thinking that after a while the church will be able to resolve this problem and return to normal.

Instead of thinking of standing against the church.

Soon, some clergymen were carrying their luggage and equipment and hurriedly caught up with Galana and her companions' carriage.

The instability of Galana and the others in recent days has already affected some clergymen.

The moon moves in the night sky with time,

Dozens of "determined" clergy left, and the Central Diocese was the main city home they truly knew.

Perhaps more clergymen will leave tomorrow, but no one will stop them. Even if everyone leaves, it will no longer affect Josephine's heart.

Commander Deluya watched her compatriots leave, unmoved. She said:

"You're letting so many clergymen go? Josephine, you don't mind their fate?"

Josephine shook her head gently, her heart was calm, and she explained:

"My child needs me to stabilize these clergy now. This is the best way. Let go of those who are wavering so that the remaining people can be firm in their hearts. Otherwise, the unrest will continue to spread."

Commander Deloya did not want to refute her, but was curious about Josephine's changes, so she asked:

"I mean, Josephine, you don't intend to appeal to my feelings or reason with me?"

Josephine understood Commander Deloya's thoughts. She had done something similar the last time Bishop Lampigu came, but what then?

“I don’t plan to. I have protected them for so many years and fought for their interests from the church nobles, but I still can’t defeat an order from the Central Diocese.

How can we calm the clergy down with just a few days of persuasion?"

"I am even more surprised at the change of the former nun. She used to be more pious than these clergymen... Well, I am leaving now. The teleportation tablet will be handed over to the young lord."

Commander Deloya said no more. If he asked any more questions, Josephine would probably become annoyed by the explanation.

She picked up the teleportation stone on the ground, and seeing that neither Josephine nor Therese wanted to say anything, she flapped her wings decisively and flew away, flying all the way back to the "Dragon's Lair" from low altitude.

At this point in time, there is no need to hide the wings. Showing off muscles at the right time can calm people's hearts.

The city area in the night has become a city that never sleeps.

After the gladiatorial activities started, the place became even more lively than the folk customs district.

Some adventurers came out and saw the being flying through the night.

Someone rubbed his eyes and said in surprise:

"Oh my god, Shao Gang, did you just see that? A birdman with only one wing flew by. He was physically disabled but mentally strong!"

"I see, but isn't her one-sided wing a bit too much? Birdmen only have one pair of wings, right?"

"Is he born deformed? That would be even more inspiring!"

*

Squeak, the door opens.

Chu Yan and Aunt Nancy were lying together in the room. They were a little surprised to see Commander Deloya coming back.

Because she seemed to be suppressing her anger and looked depressed, she sighed and put the teleportation stone on the bedside table, then lay down dejectedly.

"Commander Deloya, what's wrong with you? Are you unhappy because of a breakup with your companions?" Chu Yan temporarily stopped his interaction with his aunt and looked around with concern.

"Golanna and the others, they're fine over there, so let's just break up. It's just that on my way back, I got pissed off by some stupid adventurers."

De Luoya really couldn't figure out how blind these adventurers had to be to mistake her for a disabled birdman?

At that time, several adventurers had a keen eye and had already thought of her as an angel, but they were all led astray and colluded to say that she was a disabled birdman.

However, De Luoya's anger soon subsided. These were all trivial matters.

902

, so as not to keep it in mind all the time.

She looked at Chu Yan and Nancy, and then she realized that the "old" and the young were doing something strange...

Nancy would now do some things that cross the line with her younger generation, which was understandable to Deloya. Nancy's power relied on his original sin magic, so what could he do?

I guess if Weilin knew about this, she would choose to understand her sister and son.
