The Path of Ascension to the Priest

After receiving the letter of appointment from Tang Qiu, the first country Monica went to was the Principality of Shas, which was the most affected by the war. She had expected that the trip would not be so smooth, but she never expected that, She was hindered by layers of obstacles in the first country.

When she was in the Central Holy See, she said that the Holy See would only assist countries from the point of saving and treating civilians to help them settle down as soon as possible.

And she did indeed do this, but... the things those nobles did were simply beyond her imagination.

When the darkness invaded, many countries only chose to keep the main city and the few cities closest to the main city. The number of civilians that can be accommodated in a city is limited. Although there is the help of the Holy See in relocating civilians, the abandoned civilians are also a terrifying threat. number.

Monica rescued tens of thousands of civilians trapped in the dead city under the leadership of several nobles from the Principality of Shas. Although she was attacked by the blood clan on the way, she was not in danger.

It's just that what made Monica angry was not the sneak attacking vampires, but those nobles who saw her rescue the civilians and threw them at them without any indication.

The Duchy of Shas only cleared out three cities, and there is no place to house these tens of thousands of civilians. Monica suggested that these nobles send people to clear out the dead city that had turned into ruins to house civilians, but they didn't say anything. He cheekily suggested that the Holy See should clean it up on the grounds that the Cavaliers were short of manpower.

Of course Monica could ignore the exaggerated requests of these nobles, but she couldn't bear to see those civilians continue to go back to the ruins to starve and freeze.

And their grateful and trusting gazes prevented Monica from doing so.

This is the ugly face these nobles showed after they were no longer threatened with death. They wished that the people of the Holy See would just abandon the common people and leave, so that they could wear a hypocritical mask to win the favor of the common people and slander the Holy See by the way. cold blooded.

Before the invasion of darkness, the reputation of the Holy See in the Staru Continent was declining day by day, and part of the reason was the deliberate actions of the royal family and nobles.

Monica has stayed in the Principality of Shas for less than seven days, and has already heard some rumors about the reason why the darkness invaded the Staru Continent because of the Holy See, and they are all victims of being affected.

It's ridiculous and hateful.

The night wind blew in through the half-opened window, and the candles on the table were flickering. Monica's back was straight, holding a transparent glass bowl with her left hand, and a piece of glass with its edges and corners rubbed off in her right hand. stones, carefully and patiently grinding the white fruit from the elves.

This kind of fruit was difficult to grind, and the edges and corners of the stone were very sharp. Monica's fingers were covered with small wounds, and her index finger and thumb were even tied up with white gauze.

The scars on Reese's face had almost healed, but the scars on her body still looked horrific.

Reese didn't pay much attention to these scars, and didn't apply the ointment well. If Monica hadn't been supervising her to apply the medicine to her face, her face wouldn't be healed so quickly.

Thinking of Reese's careless attitude, Monica frowned slightly, accidentally scratched the stone with her middle finger, and blood dripped from the wound.

She put down the stone and casually picked up a piece of white gauze and wrapped her fingers. Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps at the door. Monica looked up. Her entourage, the priest, pushed the door and walked in. He said solemnly: "Monica Archbishop, Earl Brandy wants to see you."

Monica frowned and said coldly, "No."

"But... he said that Duke Cass is dead."

Monica paused, raised her eyes and asked, "How did you die?"

A few days ago, these nobles flattered her while secretly tripping her up, and they died in just a few days.

The attendant priest shook his head, "He didn't say anything, but he looked very scared. He said he wanted to ask for your help, and he also said..." He paused, observed Monica's expression, and then said cautiously: " He has evidence that Archbishop Reese has fornicated blood."

After the priest finished speaking, he lowered his head uneasily. Although Monica, who was wrapping her fingers, did not speak, the priest could already feel that the atmosphere in the room was frozen with ice.

He began to regret relaying the earl's words. These nobles thought that Reese and Monica had a bad relationship, but he, who had been by Monica's side all the time, knew that the relationship between the sisters had eased long ago.

Monica wrapped her fingers carefully, then picked up a stone and continued to grind the fruit in the glass bowl, her voice was as indifferent as her expression now, "Let him in."

The accompanying priest responded in a low voice, then turned and left. After a while, Earl Brandy came in behind him with a pale face.

After witnessing the tragic death of the Duke of Cass, Earl Brandy was so worried that he couldn't even sleep because he was afraid that a vampire would suddenly appear and take out his heart and tear him to pieces.

He was really scared, and when he fell into fear, his mind started to become confused. He forgot how he had framed Monica before, and now he only remembered Monica's identity—a kind-hearted archbishop in red.

Since she can protect those lowly civilians, she must be able to protect him. As soon as Earl Brandy saw Monica, he knelt on the ground, crying and begging: "Bishop Monica, I am the goddess of light." For the sake of believers, save me, I, I met the devil, she, she wants to kill me."

"Help me, I don't want to die."

"That...that Reese...she's with the Blood Race." Count Brandy thought of the rumors he had heard, as if grabbing a life-saving straw, "She's been targeting you before, Moni Cardinal."

"I assure you that I saw with my own eyes a blood race beside her. The Duke of Cass was killed by the blood race. She betrayed the goddess of light. Don't you want to send her to the court?"

"I, I can..." Earl Brandy mustered up his courage, "I can testify if you want, as long as you keep me safe."

After he hurriedly finished speaking, he looked at Monica expectantly. Although his eyes were black and his eyes were bloodshot, he was extremely excited.

He was so frightened that he lost his mind.

After an unknown amount of time, Monica was finally willing to give him a response. She raised her eyes slightly, glanced at Earl Brandy, and said coldly, "Is it finished?"

Earl Brandy nodded blankly.

"Go down."

Earl Brandy was taken aback, and asked cautiously, "Then can you send someone to protect me?"

He thought of something and hurriedly said, "Civilians... just let me handle the affairs of civilians." After he finished speaking, he smiled flatteringly at Monica.

Monica replied succinctly: "Yes." She winked at the priest who followed her, and the priest comprehended to invite Earl Brandy out, and then came back to wait for orders.

"Give him to Mario to deal with." Monica filled the ointment in the glass bowl, then took out a few new fruits and put them in to continue grinding, and said with a blank face: "Don't let him appear when I in front of you."

When she was first promoted to Cardinal, Reese was worried that she would be embarrassed when she first took office, so she sent Mario to her to handle the affairs around her.

Mario is worthy of being the most capable subordinate around Reese. Monica entrusts him with the things that he doesn't want to deal with, and he can solve them perfectly every time.

Although the method is as ruthless as Ruisi... Monica paused for a while holding the stone, her green eyes looked a little dark because of the backlight, she was staring at the glass bowl in a daze, her thoughts no longer knew Where did it go.

Why did Reese arrest these nobles? Monica knew the reason without thinking. She always protected herself silently like this, but she never told her about these things.

The priest had already left, and she was the only one left in the empty room. The flames emitting faint candlelight were finally blown out by the night wind, and the room instantly became pitch black.

Monica raised her head from the darkness, and the night wind outside slapped pebbles on the window, adding a sense of horror to the dark environment, but Monica remembered some past events when she was young, and the corner of her mouth Can't help evoking a faint arc.

She and Reese were sent to the Holy See when they were very young, and they left home at a young age without the company of their parents, and Monica, who has always been in poor health, developed the habit of not daring to sleep alone.

She was afraid of the dark, strange noises, and all kinds of things.

But Reese, who was as young as she was, was not afraid.

At that time, Monica had to hold Reese's arm every night and rest her head on her shoulder before she could fall asleep. At the age of five or six, her body had not yet grown, and Reese's shoulders were narrow and soft. Yes, apart from being very warm, it has nothing to do with being reliable or anything like that.

But in the heart of the young Monica, Reese has always been her most dependent sister. She is excellent and powerful. She has always protected herself behind her and sheltered her from the wind and rain.

Although she always likes to make rose tea that tastes very strange, Monica thinks that tea is the best thing she has ever drunk.

She likes to see Ruisi concentrating on her work the most, so no matter whether she will get sick or not, no matter it is raining or windy, she will go to the garden to pick a large bouquet of roses for Ruisi every day, just to watch her make tea. Seriously.

She's not as good as Reese...but she wants to do something for Reese, too.

Monica once thought that they would always be together, they were promoted from believers to priests, and then with Reese's excellence, she would definitely be able to become a bishop, and at that time she was beside her as a follower priest.

She never thought of competing with Ruisi for anything in the past, even the chance to go to the Central Holy See that everyone wanted to have.

After reconciling with Ruisi, Monica would occasionally think of the time when they broke up. She really hated Ruisi at that time, and she really didn't want to see this person appear in front of her eyes.

She hated Ruisi not for the ridiculous reason rumored by the outside world, she hated Ruisi because Ruisi abandoned her.

All she wanted was to be by Ruisi's side, she didn't care about any rights or status, but Ruisi didn't want her.

She was wronged.

Especially when she saw Reese appearing in front of her with the halo of the archbishop in red, the grievance in her heart reached its peak. This person appeared in front of her glamorously and swaggered like telling her that she abandoned her. Lost herself but got something she liked better.

Monica couldn't face Reese calmly.

The past is over, the hatred has long dissipated in the heart, the grievance may be a little bit, but it is also replaced by heartache, if Ruisi does not mention the past, she will not ask.

In the past, Monica was obsessed with one answer. She always wanted to ask Reese why she abandoned her. Are those rights and status so good?

But now she didn't want to ask any more. Monica looked down at the fruit in the glass bowl that hadn't been ground into ointment, and the coldness in her eyes melted a little, because she had already got the answer.
