She leaned close to Irons' ear and whispered, "Irons, can you continue?"

"Uh... I'm afraid there's nothing we can do about this... Let's take this opportunity to end it..." Irons responded quietly.

Hearing this, Margaret frowned slightly and asked, "Why? I think you spoke very well, please tell me more."

Tell me more? Hearing this request, Ain immediately looked embarrassed. How could he tell me more?

His little knowledge of astronomy has been drained!

There really isn't a drop left!

Chapter 96: It’s all the goddess’s mission

Lamia's enlightenment on the spot gave the female demons a great shock, and the greater effect of this enlightenment was to give all the female demons a shot of confidence, that is, the goddess Itana really existed and could respond to them!

To this end, the banshees decided to hold the most grand festival for the goddess Itana in history.

Lamia's enlightenment not only affected the female demons in the Demon King's Castle, but also affected the distant human world...

"Ok?"

Claudia, who was walking in the cathedral with a lantern in her hand, suddenly stopped and turned to look in the direction of the Demon King's City, with a hint of surprise and a hint of joy in her eyes.

"Lamia... has she also been called by the goddess?"

Claudia was undoubtedly very surprised to know that her compatriots could also see the stars behind the sky. However, this also brought her doubts.

How did Lamia do it?

Based on Claudia's understanding of her student, she simply could not imagine that Lamia could see through the false sky through her own efforts, because her mental state was already catching up with her own past situation.

If Claudia really wanted to place her hopes on this, she felt that Garcia's chances of seeing through the sky were much higher than Lamia's. So Lamia's ability to see through the sky was a surprise to her.

"Sister Claudia? What's wrong with you? Why don't you come along?"

Just when Claudia was confused, a voice from the front brought her back to her senses. She turned around and found that Sister Bernie, whom she had just followed, was now walking away with a lantern in her hand and calling her.

She hurriedly chased after him, and then explained apologetically: "Sorry, Sister Bernie, I was a little distracted just now."

Sister Beni asked with concern, "Is it because you have been too busy with work recently? So you are a little depressed? Then do you want me to take you back to the dormitory? Isn't it too much of a stretch to study classics in the library in this state of mind?"

Facing Sister Bernie's concern, Claudia just shook her head and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Sister Bernie, I'm in good spirits. The reason I was distracted was that I didn't know why I was thinking about my hometown..."

"Sister Claudia's hometown? Are you homesick?"

"There are some."

"Oh... ah, now that you mention it, I feel a little bit too..." Sister Bernie held the lantern to light the way ahead and muttered, "I also miss the ranch in my hometown when I was a child, and my mother getting up early every morning to squeeze the gentle milk for me...

However, when I was twelve years old, I was chosen by the church to become a nun. Now, fifty years have passed, and I have almost forgotten the memories of that childhood.

By the way, Claudia, are you from Bol City? I saw on the file you transferred that it says Bol City, and it seems that lavender is grown in abundance there. "

Listening to Sister Bernie's nagging, Claudia shook her head and responded, "No, Sister Bernie, I'm not from Bol City. To be honest... I should be considered a Blackwater City person."

"Blackwater City? Oh... such a faraway border town?" Upon hearing this news, Sister Bernie covered her mouth in surprise and said, "I heard that place is very close to the Demon Realm and is very poor..."

"That was a few years ago. In recent years, a new governor came to Blackwater City. Thanks to his efforts, Blackwater City is no longer the poor border town it once was... It was with the help of that governor that I became a nun."

"Oh...Is that so? He is truly a hardworking and good governor. May the Earth Mother Euler bless him." Sister Benny prayed devoutly.

After chatting for a while, the two came to the scripture pavilion of the cathedral. Looking at the attic in front of them, Sister Beni began to nag again: "Alas, young nuns these days are becoming more and more impetuous, and few of them can calm down and study the classics.

But as an old woman, I have no right to say anything about them. After all, I don’t have the time and I can’t read these classics anymore. This is probably the only way for an old woman like me to live my life.

But you are different, Claudia. You are the most diligent and studious nun I have ever met! I believe that the Trinity God will definitely favor you. Maybe I can see the birth of a saint in my lifetime~"

"Sister Bernie, you flatter me so much."

"I'm telling the truth! Do you think there is any nun like you who would take time to study the classics even after dark? Not to mention the nuns, even the priests are not so self-disciplined."

Sister Bernie muttered something, took out the key from her bosom, helped Claudia open the door, and then said, "It's the same as before, Claudia, I will take you here.

I'll give you the key for safekeeping. Remember to lock the door when you leave. I know you like reading the Bible very much, but you must also take care to rest. Don't read until the next day like you did last time! Got it? ! "

In response to Sister Beni's instructions, Claudia smiled and nodded, "Okay, Sister Beni, I will never do that again."

“It’s best not to do it.”

As she spoke, Sister Bernie handed the key to Claudia, and after giving her some more instructions, she left the attic with a lantern.

Looking at the light representing Sister Bernie, which gradually faded away in the night and disappeared around the corner in the distance, Claudia walked into the attic and closed the door.

The scent of ink from books filled the entire library. Claudia lit a few lamps around her so that she could read books. Then she walked to the bookshelf with a lantern and searched for the book she had not finished reading last time according to her memory.

The number of classics pertaining to the Triune God is vast, and the original Bible contains a total of seventeen books.

It includes four original books of Mother Earth, three original books of Father Heaven, and then one book on creation written by the earthly god Julian, three books on the theory of everything, one book on the theory of unity, two books on the laws of God, and three books on Julian's travels.

These seventeen books are known as the authentic divine texts, and all clergy must read through them, because they are works written down by the gods, and their sacredness and authority are unquestionable.

In addition to the seventeen original texts, there are countless annotations to the seventeen original texts. Over thousands of years, countless clergymen have given different interpretations of the original texts, and these derived works eventually became part of the theological classics.

Apart from these two parts, the rest of the classics are basically biographies, which are basically the life biographies of various saints and records of famous sayings, which are also part of the theological classics.

Of course, in addition to these, the Sutra Repository also houses a number of books that do not fall into the category of theological classics, such as history books, biographies of emperors, literary books with certain theological elements, and some collections of folk songs, etc.

These various books collected together have created the largest library in the capital of Duolun. Even the national library built at the request of Queen Margaret may not be comparable to this in terms of the scale of its collection after its completion.

However, for Claudia, a believer of Itana who does not believe in the Trinity God at all, she should not read these classics that do not belong to the object of her faith.

However, she still read these righteous scriptures seriously, which did not mean that she changed her beliefs.

In fact, the reason why she studied the scriptures of the Trinity so seriously was precisely because of the task given to her by the Goddess.

It was the goddess Itana who asked her to understand the birth and rise of the Trinity, and to look for some strange clues left in the collections of various cathedrals, some traces of the chaos of the gods ten thousand years ago.

And go to the divine kingdom of Orville to look for an ancient book that may exist there, a classic that may be older than the Seventeen Original Classics.

"The Secret of the Golden Bough".

Chapter 97: Priest, come and get Oko!

“Ah… Tsk…”

Claudia, who was standing in the relief canteen serving meals to a group of children, yawned softly and blinked her dry eyes.

Claudia's laughter was immediately noticed by Sister Beni, who asked, "Sister Claudia, what time did you go to bed last night?"

"Um...nine o'clock."

“Hmm?” Sister Bernie frowned and stared at Claudia with questioning eyes, as if she wanted to see through her skin to her inner soul.

Faced with such a gaze, Claudia responded helplessly: "Well, Sister Bernie, I went to bed a little late, at ten o'clock."

"you sure?"

"Um... okay, eleven o'clock..."

"Humph~"

"…Sorry, Sister Bernie, I went to bed in the early morning…"

"Oh, my Julian..." Bernie slapped her cheek speechlessly and began to nag earnestly: "Claudia, I have told you so many times, no matter how thirsty you are for knowledge, you can't ignore your body like this!

The body is the foundation of everything. Remember the priest Kraven I mentioned? He was only in his fifties or sixties, but he was already overworked and fell into the arms of Mother Earth. Claudia, you are in your prime now..."

Sister Bernie kept nagging at Claudia, and Claudia was full of complaints. The priest who died of overwork in his 50s or 60s you mentioned might not be old enough to be my son...

Of course, Claudia did not interrupt Sister Bernie's mumbling. After all, over this period of time, she had become accustomed to the old lady's concern.

So she just silently accepted the care of the old nun and continued to prepare relief meals for the homeless children.

After solving the problem of feeding these homeless children, Claudia and the old nun went to the hall of the cathedral to prepare for the service.

However, when the two nuns were halfway there, they clearly felt that something was wrong with the cathedral. The cathedral, which should have been quiet and peaceful during the morning service, had become unusually lively.

Looking at the nuns busying around them, Benny and Claudia thought for a moment and understood what might have happened.

If nothing unexpected happens, the judges from the Orville Tribunal will probably arrive...

At the same time, at the entrance of the National Cathedral of Mother Earth, several priests and a group of nuns stood in front of the gate waiting for the arrival of the judge.

The leader of this group of clergy is the highest administrator of the National Cathedral, Priest Sander.

Watching the inquisitors getting off the carriage in the distance, Priest Sander took a deep breath and suppressed his uneasiness. After all, he was a man who had seen the world and had even been to Orville.

Among the inquisitors who came to track down the heretics this time, there was even someone he knew... Of course, it was one-sided.

The clothes worn by the judges were quite standardized. The outermost layer was a high-collared windbreaker with a black background and gold patterns and gold edges, and the inner layer was a snow-white lining that was almost flawless.

He was wearing black tights on his lower body, and underneath the tights were long boots that were polished to a shine and wrapped around his entire calves. The soles of the boots were obviously quite tough, so much so that when he stepped on the floor, they even made a crisp sound like stones colliding.

Although it is a violent organization, the Orville Inquisition obviously still took its image into consideration when designing the attire for these inquisitors.

So I made a lot of small details for this outfit, such as the inscribed lace emitting a dull golden glow, the yellow gemstone inlaid on the neckline, and the segmented skirt that makes it more dynamic when walking...

These clever designs make the judges look luxurious, low-key and classy. While being beautiful, a violent organization should also look like a violent organization.

Besides being beautiful, this outfit also has a lot of functional designs. There are some bulging functional pockets on the windbreaker, and a belt engraved with the Orville national emblem is worn around the waist for hanging objects.

On the belt hung standard weapons and tools. On the left waist were three rapiers, on the right waist was a small lantern and several knives, and some were staffs.

The two inquisitors, one old and one young, one male and one female, were leading the group. They were equipped with a strange machine. If there were some wizards who knew something about machines present, they would be surprised that the weapons of these two inquisitors were actually magic pistols that had only been available for a short time.

As if to highlight their differences, the standard uniforms worn by the two inquisitors, an old man and a lady, were different from those of the inquisitors behind them, with more patterns and decorations.

Obviously, these two judges are the leaders of the group of judges.

Seeing the two inquisitors leading the team, Priest Sander, who was the person in charge of the church, stepped forward and greeted the two inquisitors, saying, "Chief Judge Giovanna, Chief Judge Barton, it has been six years since the last meeting."

The two judges were slightly stunned by the greeting from Priest Sander. It was obvious that they were not impressed by the priest in front of them. The old man named Barton asked curiously, "Excuse me, who are you?"

"Ah, it's normal that you two don't remember me. My name is Sander, and I'm the new priest of the Duolun National Cathedral of Mother Earth. Six years ago, I was just a priest accompanying my master to see the world. My master was Priest Craven."

When the name was mentioned, the two judges reacted immediately.

The female judge's expression brightened and she clapped her hands, shouting, "Ah! I remember now, it's the priest who died of overwork two years ago, right? I said at the time that he had too many dark circles under his eyes and he was really too weak!"

"..."

This shout immediately silenced everyone. Noticing the sudden change in the atmosphere around her, the expression on the face of the female judge gradually stiffened.

She coughed awkwardly and whispered, "Uh... cough, Priest Kraven is an excellent clergyman. I believe that he will rest in peace under the blessing of Mother Earth. My condolences, Priest Sander..."

"Um... Thank you Judge Giovanna for your comfort. I believe that Priest Craven will be able to smile in his grave after hearing your evaluation." Priest Sander did not make things difficult. He nodded and took the opportunity to be polite.

Then, he extended his hand to the two judges and said, "You have come from afar, and I am sure you must be tired. Our National Earth Mother Cathedral has prepared a welcoming communion for you. Please, everyone?"

Chief Judge Barton nodded while holding the hilt of the sword at his waist, and said with a smile: "It is Priest Lawsander. I heard that the Duolun Empire has always been famous for its delicious cuisine. Now I can enjoy the holy meal from the Duolun Empire. I am really looking forward to it."

Judge Giovanna also nodded and said, "Ah, yes, yes, I was complaining when I crossed the border from the Principality of Norton last week. They are neighboring countries, but the chefs on both sides are completely different.

Father Sander, you don't know that the food in Duolun is much better than that in Norton! The church dishes in the Principality of Norton are really monotonous and unpalatable! It seems that they can't do anything except grilled meat, and the grilled meat is not tasty at all!"

Listening to Giovanna's complaints, Barton sighed helplessly and said to Priest Sander, "Priest Sander, please forgive me. Giovanna is just outspoken, but she is kind-hearted."

Priest Sander nodded as if he was not surprised, and responded, "Ah, I understand. After all, I have also heard of the great name of Judge Giovanna."

Giovanna Sandrelli, the chief judge of Orville with a very personal style, is known for her outspokenness. It seems that because of her youthful vigor, she acts decisively and is a very impatient person.

In addition to these personality traits, the female judge also has a special hobby...

As Giovanna spoke, she seemed to become interested and took out an iron box from her bosom. On the label of the iron box was engraved a brand name, Orville.

However, after opening it, what was revealed was a row of exquisitely packaged cigars. She first picked out one and put it in her mouth, and then picked out another one and handed it to Priest Sander.

"Come! Priest Sander, come to Gen Oko!"

That’s right, Judge Giovanna is also a heavy smoker…

Chapter 98 Everyone is a chef

"Uh..." Priest Sander looked at the cigar in Giovanna's hand with a subtle expression, showing a polite but not awkward smile, and responded: "Sorry, Judge Giovanna, I don't smoke."

"Ah, I don't want to smoke, hahaha ~ sorry, sorry." Giovanna put away the cigar with some regret, and then prepared to light the cigar in her mouth. Just when she took out a match to satisfy her craving for a cigarette, she suddenly felt a sharp gaze staring at her.

She paused and looked up at Judge Barton, who was staring at her with a gloomy face. She swallowed and gave up, put away the matches and took back the cigar in her mouth.

After this little episode, several inquisitors, led by Priest Sander, came to the cathedral's restaurant and began to enjoy the holy communion prepared for them by the church as a welcome treat.

This is the rule recorded in "The Law of God". As long as high-ranking clergymen come, the church must prepare the Holy Communion for them, and these high-ranking clergymen must enjoy the Holy Communion, regardless of whether they are hungry or not.
