The Melancholy of the Holy Maiden

Lucini never thought that she would face each other directly and get a glimpse of his true face.

Completely different from Lucini's gorgeous silvery white, the other party's naturally white hair due to frailty and sickness used to be beautiful long hair, but now it's just short hair with sharp ends, cut off by a sharp knife.

The tightly closed eyes are not squinting or fox eyes, but simply closed, with only a smile on the corner of the mouth, a face that is not outstanding but makes people feel good.At least compared to the smile of Your Excellency the Little Sage, it is much more kind from the heart.

There was also the long brass staff that never left her body, which caused Lucini to look a few more times curiously.

The Heroic Spirit of Eterna, named after Cecilia Sager, is the only great sage of Eterna, one of the founders of Eterna thousands of years ago, the goddess of eternity and glory, Eterna Tenna's original follower.

It was also the object of admiration and longing for the young Lucini. Of course, it has nothing to do with love or belief.

After knowing that the other party used the name "Cecilia" but was not a gentle and beautiful young lady, Lucini turned to the pope in loli form as an object of worship.

Well, it wasn't a good diversion, so Lucini stopped adoring anyone anytime soon.

In short, Lucini believes that her understanding of the legendary great sage is definitely in the top one percent.

The time of the great sage stays at the age of 27 forever, not a blessing, not a curse, but some kind of obsession - because he died, at the age of 27.

This man should have died thousands of years ago, by a betrayal on the battlefield, by a blade from behind.

He died with regret, but because of his obsession, he became a powerful heroic spirit, gently guarding the country.

No complaints, no regrets, never changed.

If she didn't know that he was a [-]% human race, Lucini would even think that he was a god on earth.

The first page of the part about him in Iten’s history book is His Majesty’s evaluation of the great sage——

"I have to admit, this guy is a genius even bigger than me.

This guy has a strong heart in his weak and slender body.His body is so bad, the rules must be jealous of his talent.

And, fortunately he is my teammate hahahahaha! "

Uh, the first generation of His Majesty the King was a bit straightforward, so many years after all the gods left the mainland, his descendant, the fifth generation of His Majesty the King, added a sentence on the second page——

"The gods are higher than the sky and do not walk in the world, but if there is a god here, it must be the person in front of you. ※①

——To the heroic spirit of the empire, the great sage Cecilia Sager. "

These words were engraved in the scriptures of the temple at the same time.

Even Lucini knew from the tomes in the temple that there are many advanced technologies and tools and orders in Etern—and there are many aspects that have spread to the entire continent—whether it is farming or breeding technologies and tools; It is the law and system; whether it is divination and astronomy; or alchemy, formation and mathematics; even many practical and simple magic...

They were all conceived by Itenna back then, and developed and perfected by Your Excellency the Great Sage.

—even if he is blind, unable to see the light.

Even more often, just the goddess said "I think", "maybe it is possible", "can you try", and this great sage did it, and most of them were successful.

He is the creator, practitioner, and disseminator of knowledge.

Recalling the other party's brilliant achievements, Lucini's smile became more sincere——

This is her family's Bei Wei's teacher, just like Bei Wei's father, she is her father-in-law!

Uh, age is ignored for the time being, as long as the seniority is correct.Besides, the other party was her former idol!

What should I do? I'm so excited. Do you want to get my father-in-law to sign it and sell it or something? Those fans who are big sages must be willing to give up gold coins...

Ever since he was brought back to the temple by the Pope to be raised, even when Bedivere was picked up, and Bedivere returned from studying under the great sage, Lucini had never seen him—never saw him even once in nearly 16 years. See.

Similarly, Lucini didn't think that this young elder would come to her for anything, and she also specifically stated that she could not let Bedwell follow her. As a result, Lucini could only reluctantly let Bedwell go to practice. and agreed that she should stay there all day and not come back until nightfall.

In short, Bedwell is a student of the great sage, so she shouldn't be avoided.Unless, the other party has something to say that can only be told to her.

Considering this, the little excitement of the Holy Maiden was quickly extinguished, and the mind that had almost lost its reason calmed down.

During the slumber of the Pope, Lucini was the only person in charge of the Temple of Radiance.If there is really something that needs the cooperation of the temple, it is indeed the best choice to come to her.

As long as she can do it, as long as it doesn't cause harm to the temple, Lucini will definitely do her best.

"Actually." The great sage said, "I need your help. The Enlightenment of the Sun and the Moon, the Proctor of the Gods, and the Holy Maiden of the Temple of Radiance, Lucini."

"Thank you for your attention, Your Excellency the Great Sage." Lucini said solemnly, "This is my honor."

"Okay, my child, relax a bit." Your Excellency the Great Sage touched the head of the Holy Lady, his tone was like an old grandfather who was facing his own descendants: "Would you like to hear a story?"

Lucini's tense body relaxed unconsciously: "I would like to hear more about it."

"It starts with a girl named Bishop..."

※※※

"Wow I had a nightmare—little Lucyne—"

The tone was elongated, a childish voice that was half dead and full of sleepiness.

The completely enclosed room was very dark, and the engraved communication array at the foot of the bed shone slightly, transmitting the movement in the room to the hands of the saint.This time, however, her call was not answered.

After ten minutes, maybe half an hour, the little girl who was stuck between the plush toy and the pillow and bedding finally managed to open her eyes.

In the emerald eyes, there is no trace of water vapor or the confusion of just waking up.

The long black hair was scattered between the quilts, and the girl Yuxue was cute. Her cold expression did not make her look unprofessional, but on the small face with baby fat, this expression made her even cuter.

Even the hardest heart can't resist this "cute" attack.

The second-generation Pope of the Radiance Temple, no one knows his name, no one knows his title, and the world only knows his position—the only Pope of the Radiance Temple.It is the person who changes gender every time he sleeps, but always maintains the appearance of a child, and has been in power behind the temple for thousands of years.

Since no one has ever seen the first pope, there are only a few words in the history books that mention the relevant words, so it is impossible to confirm his authenticity.Therefore, before the name of the Pope, even the number of the second generation is in doubt.

In the final analysis, few people know who the Pope of the Radiance Temple is. Those who know have already turned into dust, and there is no record in the history books.

The pope got up from the soft bed.

Her black hair hung down like satin, and she was still holding the dagger without the scabbard in her arms. The cold touch reminded her all the time that it was just a dead thing.

In the dimly lit room, her emerald eyes seemed to be shining. She looked down at the dagger with nostalgia and pain on her face.

After a long while, the Pope sighed—the little girl's attitude and such a mature behavior are really against the law. Fortunately, no one other than the Holy Son and the Holy Daughter will ever be able to enter this room, and there is no way to see it.

"It's over, it's over." The pope muttered, her fingers almost gnashing her teeth on the dagger, and she grabbed the hilt viciously, "You bastard who abandoned everyone, why do you think I followed you? I will never go to you, never! We will never forgive you, and I will not!"

The young girl's immature voice seemed to be acting like a baby.

She dropped her shoulders weakly again: "Well, I forgot, you can't hear it at all."

Perhaps because of the nightmare in her mouth, the pope's mood fluctuated greatly.She was gnashing her teeth at a dagger and looking downcast. If Lucini saw her, she would definitely suspect that the Pope had lost his mind in order to avoid the upcoming documents.

The Pope casually grabbed a stuffed bear, and with a puff of the dagger, she inserted the bear's ass into the bear's stomach.

Holding the poor teddy bear in his arms, the Pope jumped out of bed barefoot.

Walking slowly on the spiral staircase, the cool touch of marble seems to be transmitted to people's hearts through the contact of the soles of the feet.

The pope half-opened his eyes, looking a little sleepy.

Now should not be the time for the Pope to wake up, it was all because of that nightmare, that memory that she didn't want to recall, which woke her up abruptly from her sleep.

When she finally came to the ground, under the warm sunlight, she became more and more drowsy.

Therefore, when the goblin fattened by her servants flew over, she failed to recognize it, and grabbed it with a wave of her hand, and put it on top of her head.

The chubby muffin looks like a ball. Although I haven't seen this little girl before, I obediently stayed on the Pope's head because I felt the breath of the little friend who had disappeared for a long time.

It grabbed a lock of the Pope's hair with its small hands, and rubbed it back and forth happily.

It's so boring without friends grabbing food, friends are finally back!

Of course, the young goblin never admitted it was because he was tired from flying.

"Edgar, did you see that? That little girl came out of nowhere! There is such a small child in the temple, I'm sure she was hidden in a cellar! Can we go and see?"

The salivating Ericsie was written all over her face, and her eyes were almost glued to the little girl not far away: "Wow, this is really——Edgar, do you think we can persuade her to be our model?" ? I really want to draw her—”

"I think I see it."

Edgar followed Erici's line of sight, no matter how she looked at it, she was just an ordinary little girl, at most she was a little cuter, and the way she walked looked like she was sleepwalking.

The ones who noticed the Pope were Eric and Edgar who had obtained the Bedwell pass.

Painting the temple was not something that could be done in a day, so they came here again.

Edgar couldn't see anything special about the Pope, but he was just a little girl with a fat goblin on her head. Perhaps her talent was admirable, and she got the goblin's affection at such a young age?

He turned to look at his brother, Erici's attention had long been diverted from the so-called cellar, only the little girl was in his eyes.

Edgar frowned, with a serious tone: "Erici, no matter what you see."

He said, "Don't forget the promise we made."

"I know, of course I know." Ericsie said absently, "but, you know what? If you could see, Edgar, if you could see that child, I'm sure you'd want to draw her. "

"I saw it, it's nothing special." Edgar felt a little uncomfortable, under the cover of oil paint, his expression was a little worried, "You can't—"

"No, I can!" Erici interrupted her brother excitedly, his eyebrows raised, his eyes widened, and his expression was abnormally excited, "Just draw a portrait of her—just a portrait!"

He begged, "Just once, only this one, Edgar? Just this one time."

"Only this time what?"

The Pope covered her mouth and yawned a little. She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand.

At some point, the Pope stood in front of the Degas brothers, holding the teddy bear with the hidden dagger in his arms. His emerald eyes were full of childish ignorance and curiosity: "What did you see? Tell me."

"No, nothing." Edgar quickly covered his brother's mouth.Being not good at words, he really couldn't describe Ericsson's behavior to the little girl opposite.

Ericsson tried to speak, and finally he broke free from Edgar, and said loudly: "I can't describe it, it's too incredible——"

"In that case, draw me a picture," said the pope, "and let your picture tell me."

——You who have a special ability, did you see my hidden secret?
