The mastermind behind this started by creating a strange story

"Hey, Melina, what do you think the archbishops are doing? I'm so tired. I really want to sit down."

"..."

Melina looked helpless. She was a quiet and peaceful person who didn't like to make much noise. Why would she become friends with a lively girl like Tina? Is this what they call complementary personalities?

Instead of answering the restless Tina, Melina stretched out her hands to help her friend straighten her neck.

In order to make the other party look forward quietly, she also considerately covered Tina's little mouth to stop her chattering.

"Woooooooo..."

The struggle is futile.

"嘤~"

"Sorry sorry!"

Looking at the people who were looking over because they heard the strange noise, Melina apologized with a red face, and then stared fiercely at the back of the head in front of her that didn't show any expression.

This guy actually stuck out his tongue to lick the palm of her hand, causing her to make a blushing sound. If only it weren't for the wrong time!

As if she felt the heavy pressure of resentment behind her, Tina shuddered suddenly. She felt guilty and didn't dare to look back or continue to act weird. She stood in line quietly, which was unusual for her.

But after a while, time slipped away in the queue, many people left the team and many people joined.

"Um, Melina, I...I was wrong. I shouldn't have licked the palm of your hand."

Tina was already standing at the door of the room. As soon as the person in front of her entered, she couldn't wait to apologize to Melina.

She was answered by a long silence.

"…I was wrong. If you don't forgive me, I will kneel down and hug your thighs and beg for forgiveness!"

"Anyway, I'm thick-skinned and not afraid of being embarrassed."

"Oh my God..." Hearing this shameless statement, Melina covered her forehead with her hand and had a headache. If she didn't forgive the other party, Tina would really do such a thing.

"...I forgive you." For the sake of her own face and to avoid being noticed again, Melina said helplessly.

"I knew Melina was the best!" Tina cheered softly, and just at this moment, the person in front came out.

"I will apologize sincerely next time we go out on vacation!" After saying that, Tina opened the door of the small room and walked in.

"Oh~" Melina sighed lightly and smiled helplessly. She was so soft-hearted that she just forgave Tina.

By the way, nuns are not necessarily disillusioned with the world. They are also willing to actively participate in it.

Looking at the door in front of her, Melina also became curious. After all, curiosity is human nature. Everything in today's society has developed because of human's strong curiosity.

However, although she was curious, Melina did not discuss it with the people behind her like Tina did because it was her turn next.

As a nun, you must always remain gentle and quiet.

"Melina, it's your turn. Oh, that's so boring. I thought something big was going on."

Just as Melina was waiting quietly, Tina, who had entered the room earlier, came out with a lack of interest on her face. The small room was far from what she had expected.

Why make such a boring thing so mysterious?

"I'll be waiting for you outside."

"Ah."

After saying goodbye to Tina, Melina walked into the mysterious little room with a slight anticipation.

There was only a wooden table placed in the middle of the room, on which was a box covered with black cloth. Several archbishops of high ecclesiastical rank were sitting at the back of the room.

"Good afternoon, bishops."

Although I don’t know what to do next, it’s definitely a good idea to ask first.

"Well, good afternoon," a female bishop responded, "Put your hand through the small hole on the front of the box and feel it quietly."

A small hole in the box?

It was not until Melina approached the table that she suddenly realized that there was indeed a small hole on the front of the box covered with black cloth, just big enough for her to put her hand in. She had not seen it just now because the cloth and the hole were both black.

"I understand."

In response, Melina stretched out her right hand, put it into the small hole, and then closed her eyes and felt it quietly.

"..."

Although she sensed nothing, Melina suddenly recalled the day when she first entered the church. It was a memorable day.

She recalled the day when she accepted the Orthodox faith, the day when she was baptized after training, and... the day when she took the vows to become a formal nun.

For some reason, I suddenly remembered the statue of the Holy Spirit when I took the oath. It had obviously been blurred in my memory for a long time, but at this moment... although it had not become clear, there was an indescribable emotion brewing in my heart.

Quietly, Melina seemed to have returned to her childhood, falling asleep soundly in her mother's arms, warm, safe, and yet so reluctant to leave.

But Melina knew that she was still in the small room in the church and these were her memories.

Memories will eventually awaken, just like a beautiful childhood, which will eventually pass away. Growth is inevitable.

"Whoo~"

Taking a deep breath, Melina woke up from her memories with a faint smile on her lips. Good memories always make people miss them.

"What...what happened?"

After waking up, Melina was suddenly frightened by the archbishops behind her. Every bishop stared at her with sharp eyes.

It was as if he had seen some rare treasure and he wanted to take it away and hide it.

"Child, what is your name?"

The female bishop who had spoken earlier suddenly asked with a kind smile and a warm tone.

There are so many believers in the church that it is impossible for them to remember everyone clearly. Melina is very clear about this. Even she has many colleagues who she doesn't know.

"My dear bishops, my name is Melina."

Chapter 231 Bracelets and Rings

"Melina? What a nice name." The bishop smiled kindly and said, "When did you join the church?"

"Twelve years ago, when I was only thirteen years old." Melina replied as if thinking, "I became a nun five years ago."

"Okay, okay." After hearing this, the female bishop was even happier. This was a nun who grew up in the church, and her loyalty to the Lord was unquestionable.

"Do you know what you just did?"

"Ah?" Melina was stunned. Did she do anything just now? Probably not. She just listened to the bishop's words, put her hand into the box and felt it quietly, and then recalled her past. She probably didn't do anything.

"I'm sorry, I don't quite understand."

"It's okay. I'll do it."

Seeing that Melina still didn't quite understand, the female bishop volunteered to walk from the back to the table in the center, and the bishops acquiesced in her behavior.

After walking to the table, the female bishop reached out and picked up the box covered with black cloth. Underneath was an exquisite and finely crafted square display box.

Displayed in it is a feather, a pure white feather that does not resemble any feather of any bird. This feather even has a hint of holiness.

It's strange why I feel this feather is so sacred.

Melina watched as the female bishop held the feather in her hands as if on a pilgrimage and then handed it to her.

Seeing this, Melina did not dare to be frivolous, but bent slightly and stretched out her hands, as pious as if she was worshiping the Holy Spirit.

When the feather is obtained, something strange happens.

Light, dazzling platinum light suddenly emanated from the feathers, illuminating the small room.

The bishops fell to their knees and bowed down towards the glowing feathers like pilgrims. This frightened Melina, and she could not help but take a step back.

"What...what happened?"

"Lord, our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name..."

The bishops suddenly began to praise the Holy Lord, and the direction they knelt in was exactly the direction of Melina.

Melina was a little scared. She couldn't bear the kneeling and praise. She was about to leave this direction, but the golden-white light suddenly bound her in place.

Rays of light scattered from the feathers and began to transform around Melina. The most noticeable thing was Melina's long chestnut hair, which began to fade under the light and turned into platinum.

The skin, which was already good, has become even more delicate, and some slight adjustments to the facial features are the finishing touches, as if a permanent version of real-life beauty treatment had been done.

"I...what's happening to me!" Looking at the sudden changes in herself, Melina had no idea what was happening. She stared blankly at the bishops who were still praising God.

After the feather did all this, it seemed to have consumed its own power and slowly shrank. Then a thin platinum chain suddenly appeared out of thin air, fixed the feather, and then wrapped around Melina's wrist.

The glowing feather turned into a feather bracelet and was worn on Melina's right wrist automatically.

"Bishop Lindsay, what's wrong with me?"

After everything was over, Melina could no longer calm down. She helped up the female bishop closest to her and asked in panic.

"Child, don't panic. You were just chosen by the Lord." At this moment, the bishop looked at Melina with a gentler look. "Come on, child. The Patriarch will explain everything."

After saying that, the female bishop took Melina to the front of the bishops. After a brief conversation, they decided that she would take Melina to the Patriarch first, while the rest of the people would explain to the people queuing outside.

Since this feather has found its suitable match, there is still another feather left. The test cannot be paused and needs to continue.

Melina is still dizzy now. Even though she is calm and rational, she still seems confused about things that are beyond her understanding.

Then, in a daze, she followed the bishop out of the back door like a child. Naturally, she could not be discovered after changing her appearance.

Outside the small room.

Because the feather had been taken away, those who were still in line had to line up behind another team and start waiting again.

Tina, who was waiting for her friend to come out, was confused. Where is Melina? How come she is nowhere to be seen?

It was not until she went up to ask the archbishop who came out of the house that she learned that her friend had been taken away. Well, she couldn't tell her where exactly she had gone.

When Tina heard the news, she had only one thought in her mind: she had waited so long in vain and had suffered a great loss.

As for worrying, it is impossible to worry. This is not a devil's den, this is a church. What is there to worry about?

"Forget it, let's wait for Melina to come back and ask her what happened." After Tina saw that there was really no one in the small room, she slowly left.

At the same time, Melina, who followed the female bishop, also met Patriarch Danny, who had long since regained his youth.

"Grand Patriarch?"

Melina said in surprise as she looked at Patriarch Danny, who seemed to be only a little older than her.

Patriarch Danny seemed to be accustomed to this. He smiled and nodded, acknowledging his identity.

Although the man in front of her had admitted that he was the Patriarch, Melina still had a look of doubt on her face. She had the honor of meeting Patriarch Danny once before, and he was clearly an elderly man. How could he be the young man in front of her?

Could it be the Patriarch's son? No, the son shouldn't be so young, he should be at least a grandson.

Patriarch Danny saw that Melina did not seem to believe his identity, but he did not get angry. He just quietly explained the descent of the Seraphim that he had seen before.

"So so...so so..."

"So... I have become a warrior of the Lord?"

Melina looked at the feather bracelet on her right wrist in astonishment. It turned out to be the feather of the Seraph, a part of an angel's body!

This development caught her off guard. Although it was quite restrained compared to movies and TV shows, this was reality!

"Patriarch, I..."

"Patriarch Danny, another warrior of the Lord has appeared!"

Melina was about to express her thoughts, but a voice coming from far away suddenly interrupted her.

A male archbishop walked in with a young man. The young man's cheerful and handsome face was full of joy, and his dazzling golden hair seemed to be emitting light.

When she got closer, Melina could see clearly that the young man was very strong. He was about 1.9 meters tall, and his muscles were so knotty that they seemed about to burst through his clothes.

The buttons on the chest seemed unable to hold the clothes and would pop open at any time.

Melina clearly saw that on the middle finger of the strong young man's right hand, there was a feather-shaped ring that was shining with holy light.

Chapter 232 Paladin

"Patriarch Danny, this is another warrior of the Lord, and the Seraph's Wing has recognized him." The male archbishop brought the blond young man to the round table, and then the two of them sat down in front of Melina.
