Women only affect my ability to spread the fire

Rosalyn didn't understand Margaret's train of thought at all, but Margaret's strange smile still made her nervous, so she stammered, "Sacrifice, sacrifice?"

"Yes, sacrifice." Margaret looked at the confused Rosaline and laughed, "As the chief priest of our Lord, would you like me to teach you some sacrificial techniques?"

"Ah? I want one too? I, I'm a magician!" Rosalyn looked at Margaret's meaningful smile and subconsciously shrank her neck. "Margaret, why don't you just do the sacrifice?"

The magicians of the magical country of Vitolos have never taken gods seriously and have never said a word about religion.

Rosalin, who grew up in a Vitolos environment, naturally subconsciously did not think seriously about religion and faith. When she heard Margaret asking her to perform a sacrifice, she instinctively resisted.

Of course, Rosaline thought this was more of a conspiracy by Margaret.

If I treated Russell as a god, wouldn't she have successfully separated me and Russell?

Humph, he is indeed a naturalist, so cunning!

Rosalyn puffed up her cheeks in anger.

Margaret cleared her throat and asked seriously, "Let me ask you, Rosalyn, are you grateful for the second life our Lord has given you?"

"Of course I'm grateful." This kind of gratitude couldn't be faked, and Rosalyn answered very straightforwardly.

"Do you believe that our Lord is a god?"

Uh, even if Margaret said so...but, but she seems to be right.

Rosalyn thought for a moment and nodded reluctantly: "The second life is a miracle created by God. I do believe it."

Rosalyn's face wrinkled in dissatisfaction. Although she didn't want to admit it, she felt that it was pointless to argue with a naturalist like Margaret, so she agreed with this statement.

"Since you already know that you have been blessed by God, why do you resist the sacrifice?" Margaret said with a stern face.

"I, I don't resist!" Rosalyn was speechless for a moment, and she finally muttered while biting her lip.

As soon as she finished speaking, Rosalyn found herself being led astray.

That's not right! I resist, I really resist. I want to be his lover, not his believer, even if he is a god!

Humph, I'm going to complain to Russell! Margaret is such a cunning woman! She wants to monopolize Russell!

Rosalyn clenched her fists tightly.

Margaret was finally satisfied. She smiled, a smile that looked quite mischievous. "Very good. Then it will be your responsibility to perform the sacrifice tonight! Besides, if I hadn't disturbed you, you would have probably already completed the sacrifice to our Lord."

"Huh?" Rosalyn was surprised. "What?"

Sacrifice? What sacrifice?

Rosalyn had no idea what Margaret was talking about.

"Didn't you spy on my sacrifice to the Lord through the mirror last night?"

Margaret raised her eyebrows, with an expression that said, "Don't pretend you don't know."

Rosalyn was stunned for a long time before she realized what Margaret meant by sacrifice, and her face suddenly turned red.

Wow! So, so embarrassing! I peeked last night and got caught! Especially since Margaret caught me! Did Russell tell her?

"This, this, this, this, how can this be a sacrifice! What are you saying?" Rosalyn raised her hands and covered her cheeks tightly, leaving only her red ears exposed.

Rosalyn was so embarrassed that she stamped her feet shyly, then jumped onto the bed with a bang and covered her face with the blanket.

Margaret chuckled.

Margaret certainly understood what Rosaline was thinking. It was obvious that the magician lady had developed a feeling for Russell that was usually called "love".

This did not satisfy Margaret - in fact, Margaret didn't know whether she felt this way out of some kind of jealousy.

Although Margaret's faith and devotion to Russell were sincere, she inevitably felt irritated when she ran onto the deck and witnessed Russell hugging Rosaline and kissing her passionately.

Margaret looked at Rosalyn, who was hiding under the blanket, and once again brought out her theory: "In many faiths, priestesses of the gods must..."

"Ah...ah! Ah?" Rosalin was so confused by Margaret that she even forgot to be shy. She lifted the blanket and looked at Margaret in amazement.

After being stunned for a long time, Rosalyn finally got rid of the short circuit in her brain and realized what Margaret was talking about.

"You, you, you, weren't you Russell's lover before?" Rosalyn asked, speechless and stammering.

"I am the chief priest of our Lord and the first saint of our Lord. How could I be our Lord's lover?" Margaret sat down beside Rosaline's bed, stared at Rosaline seriously, and said solemnly.

When Rosaline heard Margaret claim that she was not Russell's lover, she was happy at first, but then unhappy.

"What about me?" Rosalyn asked cautiously.

Margaret replied as a matter of course: "You are the second priest and the second saint of our Lord."

Rosalyn's mood suddenly dropped.

As soon as Margaret saw Rosaline's face, she knew what she was thinking. The knowledgeable Margaret rolled her eyes and immediately thought of a way to persuade Rosaline.

"Of course, we also have another identity." Margaret said with a smile.

Rosalyn was still in a very low mood. She suddenly felt cold, sleepy and hungry, and had no energy to do anything.

Therefore, the magician lady said listlessly, "Yeah."

"We dedicate ourselves to our Lord in married love, to be spiritually enriched by the experience of an intimate relationship with Him, and to present our fruits to the world." Margaret thought of the creed of the virgin congregations in the false church who insisted on remaining chaste to God, so she simply modified it and took it over.

Rosalyn perked up when she heard the key words "married love" and "intimate relationship": "Oh? Really?"

"Yes, we are sisters of the same faith. We dedicate ourselves and our love to our Lord. We enjoy a life dedicated to our Lord and the grace and spiritual happiness bestowed by our Lord. This is also a sacrifice to our Lord."

Margaret's words were so convincing that Rosalyn was so confused that she didn't even bother to think about the meaning of the pronoun "we".

"And when you perform this sacrifice for the first time, which is also called a holy marriage, you will officially become the bride of our Lord and dedicate your body to Him," Margaret continued.

Perhaps it was because she was too familiar with all kinds of messy doctrines that Margaret once disdained religion.

When Margaret chose to use these religious theories that she once disdained to convince Rosaline, in a sense she was also convincing herself at the same time.

"Worldly love is too superficial, but the devotion to our Lord, the sacred love bestowed by our Lord, is far deeper and nobler! It is glorious and eternal, and it is what can bring us salvation! Rosalyn, we are all sisters, and only those chosen by our Lord are qualified to join us! I think we should call ourselves the Order of the Vestals!"

Margaret continued passionately.

Rosalyn had never been exposed to any religious theories, so she was confused by Margaret's rich theological knowledge.

Although Rosaline subconsciously felt that something seemed to be wrong, the two of them had a fundamental and unquestionable consensus - Russell, who gave them a second life, was their god.

Under such a premise, Rosaline had no way of refutating Margaret.

Margaret's cold words made Rosaline realize that Russell was a "god", which also showed that there was an insurmountable gap in identity between her and Russell.

Because of her parents' unblessed union, Rosaline was taught by her grandmother and uncle since she was a child that marriage should be between people of equal social status. Influenced by them, Rosaline naturally regarded such standards as the truth.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Rosaline wanted to give in and compromise.

Rosalyn simply questioned it intuitively: "A Vestal Society? The sacrificial ceremony is dedicated to Russell, how can they still be virgins?"

Rosalyn didn't realize that her doubts were part of an internal struggle for power and had nothing to do with other matters. This meant she would reach a compromise with Margaret.

"We remain chaste in our secular lives and dedicate our bodies only to our Lord. This is a sacred ritual! Of course we are virgins, Sister Rosaline!" Margaret said righteously.

The blonde woman stared at the blue-haired woman seriously, she raised the corner of her mouth and stretched out her hand.

The blue-haired woman hesitated for a long time and chose to compromise. She curled her lips and reached out to hold the blonde woman's hand.

The two hands just shook hands lightly, and then immediately separated tacitly, as if no one wanted to get any closer to the other.

Nevertheless, the first religious order of the Russell faith was established.

The author says:

Author's words: Thank you for your monthly ticket

064 Stay or Go

Russell, who was preparing to return to the Bluebonnet, had no idea that before he persuaded Margaret and Rosaline, his two relatives had already reached some kind of compromise under the guise of faith.

They also addressed each other as "Sister Rosalyn" and "Sister Margaret," as they were known to nuns, to maintain a superficial harmony, although there was a certain sarcasm in the name.

Margaret turned to leave when Rosalyn called her.

"Sister Margaret, please wait a moment." Rosalyn, who was searching through her bookcase for a manual on ship repair, called out to Margaret. "We're going to try to repair the Cornflower next."

In Rosalyn's opinion, after barely solving the "more important problems", it is time to start solving the problem of the Cornflower.

After losing the Eye of Truth and being unable to use various magics directly, Rosaline felt that she needed the help of a scholar like Margaret.

That's why Rosalyn called out to Margaret.

Margaret stopped when she heard that.

She raised her eyebrows, as if suddenly realizing something. "So, in Sister Rosalyn's opinion, repairing the boat isn't the more important issue?"

Hey, you woman, don't you have any priorities? We're shipwrecked on a desert island, and you're so impatient to establish your status?

Margaret, who was more inclined to solve problems rationally and had considerable freedom as Russell's first wife, certainly could not understand Rosaline's anxiety.

So Margaret made a sarcastic remark.

Rosalyn was stunned for a moment, then retorted unyieldingly, "Could it be that in Sister Margaret's eyes, resolving our faith issues in the Lord is less important than repairing the Cornflower?"

Margaret wanted to blurt out "What else?", but she swallowed the words back and was speechless for a moment.

So this is what it feels like to point fingers from the high ground of faith! No wonder you, Margaret, like to think of yourself as the Lord's chief priest!

Seeing Margaret choked and speechless, Rosalyn felt proud.

Rosalyn, in a cheerful mood, didn't give Margaret any chance to refute.

Without waiting for Margaret to finish her words, she pulled out a thick atlas from her bookcase and placed it in Margaret's hand: "Let's go and repair the boat!"

After saying that, Rosalyn started to move forward with some excitement, and walked ahead without hesitation, as if she treated Margaret as her follower.

Margaret gritted her teeth in anger, and took long, straight steps, trying to overtake Rosaline. However, the corridor of the Cornflower's cabin was very narrow, and she was always stuck behind Rosaline as if inadvertently.

Finally, the two ladies walked onto the deck and stood side by side at the bow.

What a fat, inconvenient butt! I eat more than a pig, so all the fat must be growing here!

Margaret cursed inwardly.

What long legs! Humph, Margaret is a tomboy who only wears trousers and never even skirts. I really don’t know why Russell chose her as his first companion!

Rosalyn was also busy.

The two women looked at each other and smiled, but there was not much warmth in their smiles.

However, this kind of decent smile belongs only to ladies, and only ladies can understand each other. Russell, who just rushed back, could not understand the subtle tension between them at all.

On the contrary, Russell felt very happy when he saw the smiles on Margaret and Rosaline's faces from afar.

Oh, Margaret and Rosalyn have such a good relationship with each other!

That's great! I'm more confident I can convince them!

Russell began to imagine his own harem with great interest.

At this time, Margaret and Rosaline, who were standing at the bow of the boat, also noticed Russell who had returned. The smiles on their faces became even more enthusiastic, and they began to wave to Russell from a distance.

This made Russell feel even more excited.

Fortunately, Russell's upper body has not been controlled by his lower body, and he still remembers the main business.

"What did you say? There may be something unclean on this island? You are not sure what it is? So, shall we go explore the island, my lord? The climate here is also abnormal!" Margaret asked with interest.

In fact, Margaret had learned a lot about demon centurions and demon generals from her previous fights with demons, and she was ready to record it in a new notebook.

Therefore, after hearing that there might be something strange on the island that even Russell was not sure what it was, Margaret suddenly became very interested - the secrets contained in running from the temperate zone to the tropics had already made Margaret itchy.

However, Russell did not think so.

Russell currently has no interest in exploring the island. He would rather go directly to defeat the demons to improve his strength and prolong his life. He is not so interested in things that are not related to demons.

Look at this island, the sun is shining and there is no fog at all.

Considering the demons' previous dependence on the gray fog, Russell didn't think there were any demons lurking on the island.

Coupled with Russell's dangerous premonition when he felt he was being watched secretly and what Margaret said about the climate problem, Russell thought the island was very abnormal and not suitable for staying for long.

At least until his two followers recover their fighting strength, the island is full of dangers and it is not advisable to stay there for long.

Rosaline had no interest in exploring the unknown. It would be better to say that she had some subconscious resistance to it - having lost the Eye of Truth and being unable to use magic directly made her feel particularly insecure. Only by staying with Russell could she feel safe.

Of course, Margaret would not go against Russell's opinion. When Russell expressed his views, Margaret immediately changed her mind.

"My Lord, your will. Once we have repaired the Cornflower, we will sail away from here immediately."
