I have a shelter in the last days

Chapter 277 Shaken Faith

"This, this... But the scriptures are clearly..." Liana became more flustered when she thought of the unimaginable props used by the people of the starry sky, and the look in her eyes gradually faded.These miraculous creations are indeed comparable to artifacts in the hands of paladins, no, many of these things even look more magical than artifacts!What she saw and heard at the people of the starry sky made the world view she built since she was a child cracked like a crystal mirror accidentally dropped on the ground...

"The gods mentioned in your scriptures can fly into the sky, split the earth, and create all things. But how different are these things from the things that the people of the starry sky can do? Look at the things they gave us. Things, aren’t they created before our eyes? Since the God in the scriptures is omnipresent all the time, why hasn’t any of us seen him? Or, why don’t even the people from the starry sky come from the depths of the starry sky? Have you seen the god you mentioned?" Jiujiu continued to ask as if he was chasing after the victory.

"..." This series of questions made Lianna unable to say a single rebuttal.

"By the way, don't you really need any of the Star People's creations?" Seeing that she continued to remain silent, Jiujiu had to change the subject.

Liana shook her head lightly and said: "The church does not allow you to accept the generosity of others at will. They have already saved my life. Accepting their gifts like this will make us greedy and lazy..."

"Well, you don't need to take things...but you need to think about it again. I don't know whether the truth or belief is important to you, but I still think it's best to hold on to it for a few days after you return to the church. The secret of experience, first think clearly whether the gods you have been worshiping, respecting, and believing in are really the same as what you believed in in the past? Then consider whether to tell the church what happened in the past few days.... I believe that for contacting the starry sky You, as a goddaughter, know better than I, a nobleman, about the fate of such a heretic, right?" Jiujiu looked at Lianna who had become silent again, and finally said what he had been typing out for several days. .

If it is only for safety reasons, it is the best choice to bring Liana back to the family's castle and place it properly. Only in this way will they not reveal any secrets about their contact with the people of the starry sky.But Lianna is the daughter of a local step teacher in Bulton, and the church has never let go of the step education activities in the city, and there are also a lot of believers in Bulton.So there must be a lot of people in Bourton who knew her and met her.He has no way to notify the family in advance now, and once someone sees Liana, it is impossible to take her back to the castle without a word.And the church has become more and more powerful in recent years. If they find out that they have privately detained a step-goddess, it may cause greater conflict between the church and the family, and maybe even bring down the entire noble family. It is beyond the control of Jiujiu, who has not yet inherited the title.

Of course, there is another thing that worries him even more is whether the communicator given to him by the people of the starry sky also has the function of monitoring himself. Impression, which affects the more important thing that I will try to use family power to help and cooperate with the people of the starry sky.You must know that Liana admired the food cooked by one of the star people who loves cooking very much, and that star person regarded Liana as a confidant, and waved at them reluctantly until they left.So he can only shake Liana's belief and make her feel threatened so that she can continue to keep the secrets of the people of the starry sky, and he dare not imprison her rashly.At this time, Jiujiu is very grateful that there is a commandment "do not lightly destroy the body" in the church scriptures.

Lianna didn't answer him, just walked forward in silence.Jiujiu knew that he couldn't press every step of the way at this time, otherwise he might be self-defeating, but when he recalled the conversation just now, he didn't find that he didn't need to worry that Liana would reveal the experience of the past few days.Because, he noticed, the first thing Liana said to him just now was "You said... God really doesn't exist?"

This is a question, and a pious Christian will not ask such a question.

……

So, on such a clear evening, in the fiery red sunset, at the edge of the forest more than 30 miles away from the city of Bulton, a team searched here day and night for hundreds of times because the young master disappeared for many miles. The Knights of the Cayman Family finally found Her Royal Highness Ann Cayman, whom they had searched for for many days without any results.

The knight captain, who was so excited that he almost broke off the tentacles on the top of his head, immediately arranged for someone to go back to the city to notify the old duke, and at the same time protected his young master's inner and outer three floors.

Soon an army of thousands of people arrived here, and welcomed His Royal Highness Ann Cayman back to Bulton City, which was already under martial law.

Late at night, Bourton City, St. Bourton Cathedral, Liana was still rummaging through various books in the library of the church.

It has been 10 full days since she came back from the base of the People of the Stars, and she spends almost every day in the library looking up books.At first, other church members tried to comfort and enlighten her, but she still went her own way.

On the way to the destination, the infantry group encountered the most ferocious and terrifying Mandis swarm in the legend. She was the only one who escaped from the worm's mouth fortunately. A mysterious knight group, after the brave fighting of the knight group, the Mandis swarm was wiped out, and she was saved because of this.But then this knight group was strangely chased by another team of unknown knights. She was not taken seriously by the other party because of the loss of her female family. She escaped from XZ in the chaotic battlefield again. The man returned to Bulton City after wandering in the forest for many days because he got lost.

This is what Jiujiu taught Liana on the way back to Bourton City.Because the scene where the step girls encountered the Mandis swarm was not far from the road, it was easy to verify, and Liana's route to escape the Mandis swarm could also be traced based on various clues.As for the mysterious knights who assassinated them that night, Jiujiu had already told Liana the official order of the trial knights, and many of the church's trial knights must have seen her. Understood, although Liana didn't believe that the holy knights who were always righteous and bright in the church's propaganda would do such a thing, she didn't reject Jiujiu's proposal.Because no matter whether it was the Paladins or not, someone knew that she had stayed with the knights of the Cayman family. If she lied about these details, it would be easy to be exposed.

And Jiujiu told her that the best lies are often [-]% false mixed with [-]% true, so it is the most difficult to be seen through. It really is the noble young master who is the best at lying. This is Liana's evaluation of Jiujiu.
