Are you worthy of saving the world?

The two of them moved forward unhindered and soon reached the deepest part of the building, which was the council hall of the Holy See Council.

"........."

Stella gasped.

She had just stepped into the hall, and the next moment, she and Yuli were standing in the middle of the hall.

The interior of the parliament hall was completely dark, with only a strong light shining down from over a hundred meters above, illuminating the foothold of Yuri and the other man in the center of the hall like a stairway to heaven.

After her eyes adjusted to the darkness, Stella noticed that the entire Holy Throne Hall was round.

Then, around the circular hall, twelve black obelisks were erected in an orderly manner.

The twelve black monuments were about thirty meters high and stood in the hall like swords, surrounding her and Yuli.

"Your Excellencies, I have brought Miss Stella here."

Yuri bowed his head respectfully and said.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Son of prophecy, Lord Ulysses."

what……

The deep male voice came from a black obelisk located at the seven o'clock position surrounding the building.

Although I had expected this, was it really impossible for me to see the real person?

An unknown fire suddenly rose in Stella’s heart.

Little sister Lukia... The Pope is so approachable, and you guys are still playing tricks here... Tsk!

"Please allow me to introduce you."

Yuli continued, “This is Miss Stella, she is a magician I discovered in the lower city.

Although she is only sixteen years old this year, she possesses magical talents beyond imagination. She is a girl with outstanding personality and talent.

I was attracted by Miss Stella's talent and character, so I specially invited her to be my magic teacher.

I came here today to explain this matter to the Holy See Commission.”

After Yuli finished speaking, there was a brief silence in the hall.

Then, the black obelisk at the 11 o'clock position made a sound.

"I see."

"Then, Lord Euripides, there are rumors that you forcibly took this lady as your slave. What's going on?"

"Is it true that the Vatican received such a report?"

The Holy See's questions were exactly as Yuri had rehearsed in his mind, and he answered them step by step.

“It’s true, I signed a master-servant contract with Miss Stella.

After all, she is not a church member, and she took this measure purely out of safety considerations.

Fortunately, Miss Stella was very tolerant and she readily accepted my request. "

Yuri heard his witch lady snorting in disdain.

"Didn't you just say that Miss Stella's character is trustworthy?" the black monument at the 3 o'clock position asked sharply.

"This and that are two different things. I am fully aware of my special identity as the son of prophecy, so I..."

Yuri's speech was interrupted.

"We have obtained a criminal record of Miss Stella."

"What……"

Yuli looked at Stella in surprise.

The silver-haired witch's mouth opened wide and cold sweat oozed from her forehead.

"Citizen ID 1004384901, Stella. By bribing the Lower City Registry Official, she obtained the status of a Vatican City citizen seven months ago."

"During the approximately six months I lived in the Vatican City, I was broken into twice in the residential streets of the Upper City. The total value of the stolen items was approximately 400 Hera."

"In addition, I have participated in magic-related work many times without obtaining a magician's license."

"During the time when I was Ulysses' magic instructor, I didn't even get a teacher's certificate... Is there something wrong with what I said?"

It seems that the Twelve Holy Sees have done sufficient investigation in advance for today's review.

Of course Yuli knew that Stella had broken through the empty door, and definitely more than twice, but he didn't expect that the Pope's Office would dig this out as well.

Maybe when investigating Stella the Magician's resume, they found out her channels for selling stolen goods?

If you look at it this way... it's already very lucky that we were only caught breaking into houses twice.

Having said that, 400 Hellas is not a small amount of money, enough for Stella to stay in jail for a year.

"no disagreement."

Yuli and Stella looked at each other and decisively admitted the crime.

Although it was unfortunate that the Vatican had found a criminal record, I could think on the bright side.

This also means that Stella’s identity as a witch has not been exposed...!

Give you a chance, you are useless!

Then it's our turn to fight back, but you're not the only ones who have made preparations in advance.

Yuli said loudly and calmly: "Miss Stella has repented of her past theft.

When she signed the contract with me, she confessed to me without hiding anything and wept bitterly about her past crimes.

"Even so, it can't erase her past sins!"

The obelisk at 9 o'clock speaks the truth.

He is absolutely right.

If verbal repentance could be forgiven, then crime would no longer be a crime.

Yuli said: “Although the evils committed in the past cannot be easily erased, Miss Stella has also made sincere remedial measures in her own way.

The White Night Goddess is a magnanimous and loving god. I don't think she would reject a lost lamb who has turned over a new leaf, right?"

"Oh? You just said sincere remedy? What is that?" A certain Holy See made a very disdainful voice.

"About a week ago, Miss Stella confessed her past crimes in a confessional in downtown."

"And at that time, she also donated 15000 Hera to the church anonymously."

The Son of Prophecy smiled and said, "My Lords... I wonder if such "sincerity" is enough to offset her crimes and prove her kindness?"

146 The female competition begins!

Long before coming for investigation, Yuli had predicted the Vatican's judgment.

Stella's past record could become a weakness for both of them, leading to impeachment.

What has happened cannot be changed, but it is not completely beyond repair.

This involves the most basic logic of all religions.

When human beings are born into this world, they all carry "original sin".

If you want to wash away your sins, you must continue to perform good deeds throughout your life.

Only pure souls can ascend to heaven, otherwise they will fall into hell and suffer eternal torture after death.

Although this set of ideas has a positive side that encourages people to do good, it also breeds a way to make money, namely, redemption money.

The Tenli Church has a clear redemption mechanism. From manslaughter to fighting, one can seek God's forgiveness by donating money to the church.

So, a week ago, on the night that Yuli learned that he would be investigated, he took Stella to a church in the downtown area.

Stella went into the confessional and confessed her crimes, including burglary and operating without a license, and donated 15000 Hera anonymously to the church.

"One... Fifteen thousand Hera!?"

Stella’s eyes widened, and she was so shocked that she couldn’t speak.

In the past, her monthly expenses in the downtown area, including rent, were less than five hundred Hera.

Fifteen thousand Heras were enough to buy a nice house in the downtown area. What Yuli had done was equivalent to donating a house.

Stella herself didn't know that her innocence was worth so much money!

"What's wrong?" Yuli asked curiously, "You think it's not enough?"

Stella pulled Yuli aside and whispered, "There's no need to donate so much, Yuli! Fifteen thousand... uh, I think two thousand is enough, right?"

"Didn't you say you wanted to make a donation?"

Yuri looked at her with disdain and said, "You are so stingy. It's only 15,000 Hera. There's no need to take it to heart. We will have plenty of opportunities to make money in the future."

"Well……"

Miss Witch pursed her lips with mixed feelings.

In fact, Stella mainly wanted to say that she felt that she was not worth that much money...

Miss Witch always felt very sorry for making Yuli do so many things at once.

"Are you sure this donation can reach the orphanage?" At this point, she asked worriedly.

"Please rest assured that this money will be used to update the orphanage's facilities and provide meals for the children," said the clergy in the lower town.

Time returns to the present.

"------"

Silence fell.

Ever since Yuri finished his defense, the huge and solemn Holy See Hall had been so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

Obviously, none of the Twelve Holy Sees had expected Yuri to do this, and their long-prepared criticisms of Stella were stuck in their throats.

Not only that, what surprised them even more was——

Where did Yuri get 15000 Hera? He could only get 300 Hera from the church every month for living expenses!

“How is this possible…”
