Reject me, you damn woman.

This really confused the empire, which had been on high alert for a long time, but after confirming that there was really no follow-up to the Magic Bell Tower, they did not worry about it further.

Compared with these two events that affected the entire continent, the other major events seemed insignificant. They were nothing more than the eight major families that had taken root in Zijinhua for hundreds of years. Except for the Vaughn family whose territory had been donated to the country, two other families were blown to the sky by a gas explosion, one was convicted of treason and had his property confiscated, and the final exams of Eden College were approaching.

Although the system of Eden College is relaxed, the punishment for failing the academic examination is the same for everyone. Once you fail, no matter if you are a noble or a commoner, you will be kicked out of the college and have to retake the exam.

At this time, even the most naughty or domineering students on weekdays have to sit obediently in the library or rest area in order to go home and have a good vacation.

Of course, there are also students who are still unwilling to calm down.

"Xia, you're playing cards again, why don't you go study?"

Elena, who had grown her hair long and tied it into a high ponytail and was wearing a royal blue scarf, returned from the library. After taking off her frameless glasses that were covered in white mist, she looked at her roommate helplessly.

"Humph!"

Wearing a silk nightgown, lying on a soft lazy sofa, Historia, who was studying the deck with her fair little joe, hummed when she heard this, turned over and said confidently:

"Back then, Lynn Norton was able to get first place in nine courses by reviewing in one night. Is it not too much for Historia to use the last week of review to pass three courses?"

"It's not too much,"

Elena said with some concern:

"But, aren't we going to take nine courses? I don't think I've seen you review the remaining six. Have you reviewed them secretly?"

"Humph, of course not. Princess Historia only does things that are above board and above board. She doesn't steal anything!"

Historia shook her wine-red twin ponytails, looking very proud.

"But I have consulted with Zayu, and as long as we can pass three subjects, we will not be asked to drop out!"

"Boom!"

"Ouch!" (≧口≦)

"Study hard for the exam. You used the castle incident to fool me. You still have to go home for the final exam!"

After punishing her roommate with her righteous fist, Elena ignored Historia's whimpering for mercy and ruthlessly dragged the latter to the desk to review.

"Oh, come to think of it, I didn't receive a reply to my last letter..."

Ignoring Historia's somewhat resentful mumbling, Elena then sat down by the window, staring at the ginkgo tree on the campus in a daze.

Speaking of which, Lin En would come to the library to study every weekend, and this was a tacit understanding between the two.

But today, I don’t seem to see him.

..........

At the same time, on the busy streets of the imperial city, a black carriage without any emblems stepped on the leaves, "clack clack" through the noisy crowd, and stopped in front of three huge buildings that were built side by side and were particularly deserted.

After seeing the carriage stop, the two priests Eris and Modden, who were originally lazily lying in front of the door of their new church, and were so idle that they wanted to sunbathe their birds, immediately became sharp in their eyes. Their gazes met, and it seemed as if sparks flashed and extinguished in the air.

Although the two priests are now in poverty, they were once wealthy and had seen good things.

Therefore, after quickly passing by the carriage in front of them with a specious gaze, the two realized that the people in the carriage,

The status is not bad!

Although the black carriage was very low-key and had no external decorations, it was spacious and comfortable, and was obviously designed for enjoyment and comfort. It was completely different from the public carriages that could be rented for a day for a few silver coins on the streets. It was obviously a high-end private carriage.

Moreover, depending on the status of the owner of a carriage, the carriage is actually secondary; the key point is the horse!

Although the big black horse pulling the cart did nothing except lower its head and yawn lazily, both priests knew that it was not because of the horse, but because of the cart and the road.

It was a purebred horse from the north of Zijinhua, fat and strong, with a powerful physique. Even among military horses, it was like the king of horses, and it was well-trained.

What it excels at is carrying fully armed knights across the battlefield. Using it to pull carts in a congested metropolis is as luxurious as killing a chicken with a 40-meter machete.

The most important thing is that the owner of the carriage actually stopped in front of the church and did not bring his family crest. What does this mean?

This shows that this was a tacitly agreed private visit, and a visit specifically for the church!

This is the devout believer whom I have never met in the upper level of Zijinhua!

The two priests showed a determined look, looked at each other, and then simultaneously... sprinted!

boom!

The tall, muscular priests collided heavily with each other, neither giving in:

"Hello, sir. I am Eris from the Holy Light Church..."

"Bah! You call me sir right away. What right do you have to assume someone's gender? Is this the attitude of the Holy Light Church? Sir, please get to know the Moon Goddess. If you don't believe me, I'll give you eggs. If you do, I'll give you money!"

As the carriage door opened, the two priests' expressions froze at the same time.

Wearing a neat black casual suit, a walnut cane inlaid with silver threads, and his signature blonde hair, Lynn stepped out of the carriage, bowed gracefully to the two of them, and smiled slightly.

"Two priests, long time no see, you are still as brave as ever."

Father Eris's expression immediately changed, and an unconcealable anger appeared on his face:

"Why is it you who is like this...?"

Father Modern grabbed his colleague's throat fiercely to prevent him from saying anything rude, and put on a smiling face:

"It's been a long time since we last met, Your Highness Lin En. Is there anything you need us to help you with this time? In addition to replenishing the consumption of God's Blessing, anything is fine!"

Lin En couldn't help but laugh:

"Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you. I won't ask you to replenish my divine protection power. I just want to ask you if you are satisfied with your new residence."

Eris gets angry when she hears this.

After the new church was built, he finally understood what Lynn meant when she said he was sorry for her.

Although the new church was large and magnificent, and located in the city center, the simple and honest people of Lagerfeld really taught the three archbishops a lesson.

They taught three bishops. If you don't believe, you don't believe. It doesn't matter where you are. You just don't believe.

Therefore, after the three archbishops moved, not only did they fail to attract many Protestants, but because the relocation location was far away from the old city, many believers who had converted with great difficulty also changed their faith because the new church was too far from their homes and they were too lazy to walk!

In other words, after working hard for a whole night and even having the blessings of the three gods cheated away by Lin En, the three priests got nothing except a useless new house each.

And enjoying luxury is a demerit in any church!

Father Eris became furious when he thought of the "Merit -1" that flashed by his ears every night before going to bed and the old believers who had left.

And Lin En dared to appear in front of him? !

And asked him if he was satisfied?!

"You still have the nerve to say ummmm......"

Covering Father Eris' mouth again, Father Modern smiled broadly:

"Satisfied, satisfied. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I wonder which church Your Highness would like to visit?"

"That's not necessary. I just want to pay a visit to the three of you. But why don't you see Father Arnel?"

Lynn laughed.

"Father Arnel is in the Church of the Earth Mother. I will ask him to come and greet you."

"No need. Since it's a visit, I should go to see the priest in person."

After sending Lin away with a smile on his face, Modden pushed Eris away and punched the other person hard in the chest.

"You old bastard, you don't want my life, but I do. His Highness Lin En treated us well, gave us money and land, and the initial transaction was clearly marked. It was just that we were stupid and didn't see the flaw. It's unreasonable for you to blame him now. Or do you really have a grudge against the tumor on your shoulder?"

"Okay, okay, you think I really have no brains."

Father Eris rubbed the place where Modern had hit him, feeling a little aggrieved.

To be honest, to be fair, Lin En was very nice to the three of them. Eris thought that the prosperous areas he promised were at most the corners of three prosperous areas, but she didn't expect that the place they gave them was the city center.

Moreover, not only did the three churches not cut corners, each one was designed according to the standards of a regional cathedral.

Solemn, sacred, magnificent, and expensive.

As for helping Lin En to exorcise demons and save people that night, personally, he had no regrets.

Even from his own perspective, Father Eris quite likes Lynn, the prince who is cunning yet sincere.

Without him, most of the people in the castle would have died at the hands of Mordiana. This incident would not be a stain on the Holy Light and the Cardinal, but it would become a nightmare and stain in Eris' heart.

However, Modden could greet Lin En with a smile, but he couldn't.

Because, among the three, he had the most communication with the prince and understood what kind of person he was the most.

Compared with Lin En, those heretics in the Inquisition who deserved to die the most and be burned the most were not as good as the leg hairs of His Highness.

Because what other heretics commit is at most minor crimes such as hatred, looking down on the righteous gods, or believing in evil gods and performing blood sacrifices, but Lin En is different.

Lynn denied the concept of God from the bottom of his heart!

In his understanding, gods are probably powerful creatures, or tools that can be exchanged for power as long as a price is paid.

There is no more terrible blasphemer in the world than this prince.

And his respect and kindness towards Eris and the other three priests were so clear.

This made Eris even more annoyed.

Because he could see that all that respect and kindness was fucking genuine, and it was directed towards the three priests themselves, and had nothing to do with the gods behind them!

For Father Eris, who believes in the God of Holy Light, this is simply a great blasphemy!

To put it simply, the more Lynn respects Eris, the less he respects the Holy Light God that Father Eris believes in;

And the more disrespectful you are to the God of Light, the more disrespectful you are to Father Eris;

In other words, the more respect Lynn showed to Father Eris, the more disrespectful he was to Father Eris.

It's no wonder that Father Eris wished he would never see Lynn again.

Communicating with this guy is like dealing with a bunch of paradoxes.

After listening to his old friend's explanation, Modden remained silent for a while.

Then he gave a thumbs up:

"????!"

.......

At the same time, Lynn walked into the church of Mother Earth.

As soon as he entered the church, he saw at the end of the rows of pews, on the sacred altar, a statue of the goddess of mercy with eyes full of pity, as if opening her arms to the suffering children.

"I'm finally going to see you."

Lynn muttered softly, tapping the ground with his cane, his eyes flickering with an unfathomable light.

Finally, I'm going to see you.

A god who will not abandon anyone who asks for help,

Earth, guardian of harvest and life,

Great,

Mother of Mercy.

At the same time, he is also the one who brought himself into this world.

Right...right?

.........

ps: emnnnn... Although the update is a little late, because I am thinking about the story of the new volume, I plan to write a little bit today, and finish the remaining transitional plot of the Empire chapter at one time, and a new story chapter will begin!

Hey, readers, the carriage is ready.JPG

Chapter 147: Father, Please Sit Down (4.5k)

Due to the lack of believers, the three churches seem a bit deserted, but thanks to the careful maintenance of the priests, they are still very clean and tidy.

At this time, the hall of the Church of the Mother Earth was empty, and no one was worshiping. Lynn guessed that Father Arnel was probably in a room in the backyard of the church, so he just symbolically nodded to the statue of the Mother of Mercy and planned to go directly in through the secret door behind the baptismal font.

At this moment, a cold voice sounded:

"I'm sorry, sir, this is a private area. You can worship in the sanctuary."

Lin En paused, smiled slightly, turned back, and his eyes lit up:
