The Knight of Light plants the sun in the eternal night.

Chapter 155 Three Wishes

Sister Christina, who had been captured, had a look of astonishment on her beautiful face. She hadn't expected that she wouldn't get the Light Cordyceps back, that the Fairy Insect would be trapped inside, and that she herself would be trapped inside as well.

She quickly waved her hands: "No, no, no, please listen to me, Lord Leo."

"you say."

"You cannot capture me."

"Why?" Leo chuckled.

"I am a nun who has made three vows, and I belong to the Holy Light Church, not a nun from a noble territory," Christina explained. "Therefore, I have the protection of the Holy Light Church, and the noble wars cannot harm me."

The Holy Light Church is a transnational organization.

Although they are loosely organized, their strength is undeniable.

Most of the nuns and priests of the Holy Light Church are nominal members; only those who have made the Three Vows are official members, protected by the Holy Light Church, and are exempt from wars between nations and nobles.

"You made three wishes?" Leo frowned.

This is really difficult. The Holy Light Church is too large. Even if he were just a lord knight, or even if he rode a dragon, he wouldn't easily clash with the Holy Light Church. The Church's headquarters is also guarded by dragons.

But he certainly wouldn't be willing to give up the locust tree cordyceps he had already obtained.

Between weighing the pros and cons.

Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he abruptly asked, "Sister Christina, have you made your fourth vow?"

The three vows of the Holy Light Church are: the vow of poverty without private property, the vow of chastity by remaining unmarried for life, and the vow of obedience to superiors.

It signifies dedicating everything to the Holy Light Church and sacrificing oneself to protect humanity.

But there is a fourth wish.

It is the constant wish to stay in a cathedral or monastery and practice Buddhism peacefully.

Christina shook her head: "No."

Few nuns or priests need to make such a lifelong vow, since spiritual practice isn't something that can be done in isolation; it also requires travel and learning.

Upon hearing this, Leo laughed: "Very well, in that case, I will not harm you, nor will I hinder your cultivation. However, as my spoils, I will take the Acacia Light Plant and the Elf Insect to my territory."

"Ah!" Christina was stunned again.

Leo, like the Big Bad Wolf tempting Little Red Riding Hood, said: "I believe in the Holy Light and revere the Church, so I will not harm you, much less restrict your personal freedom, but no one can force me to give up my spoils!"

He pointed Christina in the right direction: "As for you, you can follow the Acacia Tree and your Fairy Insect."

"Lord Leo!" Christina no longer wanted to address Leo as "Sir." "How could you do this? How is this any different from kidnapping me? You are blaspheming the Holy Light!"

"No, no, no, I didn't. Don't frame me," Leo said. "I took my spoils as I pleased. I have the right to do so. As for you, you could have easily taken the cordyceps first, but you didn't. Don't blame me."

After refuting the argument, Leo comforted her, saying, "Christina, didn't you make three vows to dedicate yourself to the Holy Light?"

"I also have monasteries on my land, why can't you practice there?"

"I----"

Before Christina could speak, Leo interrupted, "The nun's training is to cultivate Light Plants to resist the invasion of Shadow Monsters. Isn't cultivating Light Plants on my territory also a form of training?"

"Lord Leo, this is different. I am from a border kingdom."

"See, you're not pure anymore," Leo shook his head. "You've already dedicated yourself to the Holy Light, you're a member of the Holy Light Church—don't worry, tell me about your family, and I'll bring them back with me."

Christina was on the verge of tears: "Your Excellency Leo, is this really necessary?"

"Yes," Leo said firmly.

But in reality, he was just trying it out; if Christina resisted to the death, he would have to give up on the idea.

But what if she gives in—

This is a level 1 priest; he earns far more than he would harvest a few bare trees.

"Sigh!" Christina clasped her hands together, took a deep breath, and nodded slowly. "I am willing to go to your fiefdom. Please ensure the safety of the Acacia Cordyceps and do not harm the Elf Insects."

Leo was delighted.

Suddenly, I felt a little embarrassed, with a sense of guilt as if I had forced a good woman into prostitution.

But then he thought that this was a war between two countries, and there was no need to worry about anything, so he calmed down and said, "What about your family? I will bring them with me."

"My father is—" Christina looked at Leo and said calmly, "Baron Dogtail Grass. His territory is in the Grass Plains, about a thousand kilometers away from Stone Town. My family is there."

"Well----"

Leo was at a loss: "You're the Baron's daughter? Then your name is Christina Foxtail Grass?"

"No, my name is Christina Holy Light. I am a nun who made three vows and then severed ties with my family to serve the Holy Light."

o

"Why?" Leo asked, puzzled.

"You want to ask why I gave up my status as a baron's daughter to come here and serve the Holy Light, right?" Christina said calmly. "I didn't want to marry someone I didn't like, but my father forced me, so I had no choice but to seek refuge with the Holy Light Church."

Seeking refuge, they traveled thousands of miles away.

Leo understood. For nobles, the only purpose of a daughter was marriage. Nobles who doted on their daughters like Count Hayden were rare. Most nobles were more like the fathers of countesses.

To gain benefits by marrying off one's daughter.

Leo even felt that his father was the same kind of person, and if it weren't for his sister Lisa's bad reputation, he would definitely have been sent to marry a nobleman.

"So, you're going to the White Rose Kingdom all by yourself, is that alright?" Leo felt even less guilty about kidnapping her.

Christina nodded: "Going further away is good too—I also want to see the scenery abroad."

She had already traveled a thousand kilometers away from her family's territory in order to rebel against them, and now she was only a few thousand more kilometers away.

even.

Deep down, she longed for a change of environment; as the saying goes, the moon is always brighter in foreign lands, and perhaps she could find inner peace there.

However, glancing at Leo out of the corner of her eye, she began to worry about the future. How good could things be under the rule of such a handsome bandit?

"Lord Leo, please allow me to go back and pack my luggage."

"Okay, you go back first. After the conscription team arrives, I will arrange for you to work as a warehouse clerk. You will work with the conscription team. After the war is over, you can come back to the swamp manor with me."

"Yes."

"Cheer up, Christina," Leo smiled. "Holy Light training isn't about working behind closed doors; it's about traveling far and wide."

This is just some of my personal experience. Oh, I forgot to mention, I'm also a pastor.

"Aren't you a knight?" Christina asked, puzzled.

"I am both a knight and a priest."

"So you are a Knight of Light." Christina nodded. "You look very young, I didn't expect you to already be a Knight of Light—well then, Lord Leo, I'll take my leave now."

Christina left with the small jade box in her arms.

Harden poked his head in: "Sir, what brings the beautiful nun here?"

"Don't pry into things you shouldn't. Oh, and take Christina to get her clerical status later; she's..."

My newly recruited warehouse clerk is responsible for safeguarding our spoils of war.

"Her? A nun working as a clerk?" Harden was baffled, but that didn't stop him from following Leo's orders and getting Christina a clerk's status.
