A subjugated princess will never die a vagabond

Just like she did with Alpers before, if she went to the cookie man with the attitude of begging for help, there would probably be a lot of wrangling and conditions. On the contrary, the attitude of provoking a teacher made the goblin's first reaction was to calm down.

However, Cloris would definitely not use that fierce and arrogant attitude with the nun. She wiped away the tears from the corners of Dole's eyes with her index finger wearing a silk glove, and said, "Let's go in and talk."

There is not much difference between the almshouse and the Faljar correctional school. The wall encloses a spacious courtyard with warehouses, cellars, stone mills and water wells. Because the groundwater pollution in the paradise exceeds the standard, there is another machine with different lengths and widths next to the wells. Four meters, three meters high water purifier.

The courtyard is a small four-storey concrete building housing children, people who are disabled or temporarily unemployed.

"The church has only opened nine almshouses in Paradise, eight of which are near the north of Nanrien City, and our one next to Baiye City was only established a year ago." Duo Lula and Ai Mill looked at each other, held hands tightly, and introduced to Cloris.

"Why are they all in the north?"

"Sometimes, it's not so easy to help the poor." Duo Lula shook her head and said in a low voice, "I heard that there were more than 30 charity homes in Paradise [-] years ago, but they gradually couldn't do it... Excessive aid has overcrowded the charity home, and the continuous supply of supplies has not made the place better, but instead created more unnecessary friction and conflicts, which is not quite what we thought.”

"I don't even know about this..." Emile said blankly.

"I should tell you, so that you will be more careful when you go out in the future!"

In fact, Duo Lula didn't expect that someone really dared to kidnap Sister Xingchen, and almost avoided everyone's sight. This was obviously premeditated, not some tramp's lust.

Duo Lula asked again: "Why did Ms. Epidemic Doctor appear in Paradise?"

"Didn't I say that?" Cloris smiled, "I am a philanthropist, hoping to shine the sun on the dark soil."

"Huh? Is this what the Life Research and Protection Association means?" Duo Luer obviously knew more than the confused Emil.

"Only on behalf of me," Cloris said, "I plan to open several correctional institutions for the poor here, mainly to adopt orphans."

"Is that so? I can recommend you to see the dean. He can give you a lot of useful advice. Maybe we can support each other in the future!"

The work of the Charity House is also very busy. There is only one headmaster, four nuns, two monks and a dozen contract nurses in the whole hospital, who are responsible for the upbringing of hundreds of children, as well as some disabled and sick people With the relief of homeless people and the kidnapped Emil still in shock, Doroura still has to deal with many things.

Doroura brought Cloris and Naina to the door of the dean's office on the fourth floor. She knocked on the door and ushered them in.

"Principal Bruni, Emile has been found, and it was Ms. Plague Doctor who saved her," Doroura said with a slight smile, "Please come in, Ms. Plague Doctor."

The dean's office is not spacious, the bookshelves and desks are cramped, the sofa for guests is covered with carpets, and pillows and thin quilts are neatly piled up beside it.

The person at the desk was a middle-aged man with brown curly hair and a beard. He was dressed in a light and plain shirt and trousers. He stood up to greet him, and Cloris could see that he had a gun bag on his waist.

The middle-aged man hurriedly asked: "Did Emil find it? What happened?"

"She was kidnapped, it's..." Duo Lula looked at the girl inquiringly.

"It's a cultist from a corrupt monastery," Cloris said.

The middle-aged man was stunned. At this time, Dolula said: "Ms. Epidemic Doctor wants to build a correctional center for the poor in Paradise. I think you can help her, Dean."

"Understood," said the middle-aged man, "Dorula, go down first."

After the nun left, the middle-aged man sat back in his seat and said to Cloris, "Please sit down, Ms. Plague Doctor, what's your name?"

"Cloris." Out of politeness, Cloris took off her mask and revealed her true face.

"You are much younger than I thought, or should I call you Miss?" The middle-aged man stretched out his hand and introduced himself, "François Renault Bruni, you can call me whatever you like." A polite handshake Finally, he put away the astrolabe used for divination on the table and asked, "What happened to the corrupt monastery? Those bugs appeared in the sea of ​​floating stars?"

Cloris shook her head and said, "I don't know, Dean Bruni, but what I can confirm is that they are targeting Sister Star."

"This information is very important, and I will report it to the church," Bruni said. "I just heard from Doroula that you want to establish a correctional school in Paradise? Can you explain your purpose for coming here?"

"I wish to bring mercy and light to those poor people," Cloris said compassionately. "They should also be fed and clothed, and free from hunger and poverty."

"It's really rare for you to maintain such a simple compassion." Bruni said the scene.

"Of course, I'm also a devout star believer. Although I haven't been baptized yet, the kindness of the Star Church has always made me yearn for a new life!" Cloris praised sincerely.

"I believe you are a compassionate person," Bruni nodded frequently, with a look of "yes, yes, yes", he asked, "Is there anything else we can help you with?"

Cloris' words obviously failed to convince Bruni.

It's too early to be unprofitable, and this middle-aged man doesn't believe that girls have natural and simple compassion.

This is not to say that natural and simple mercy does not exist. The simple and lovely nuns in the church are examples. However, such innocent kindness requires a price. Bruni does not believe that a strong man who can save a nun from fallen evil is like that people.

It's not that Bruni denies the necessity of kindness, but that this kind of person has to be tempered from the fire of blood, not from the hotbed of compassion.

"That's right," Cloris smiled shyly, "I think kindness has no distinction of faith, so I also hope that the contribution of the Church of the Sun can be mentioned in this, shining light in the deep realm."

Unexpectedly, Bruni's expression immediately became stern, and he asked in a flat tone, "Your Excellency is a believer of the Church of the Sun?"

Cloris noticed the change in Bruni, but she still said: "Is kindness different because of faith? I work for the Church of the Sun, but it doesn't prevent me from keeping yearning for the stars, I believe," she took out as usual A string of necklaces spread out the badges one by one, "No matter what beliefs we hold, our kindness is always the same, and it will become the greatest commonality that unites us."

Bruni picked up the necklace, looked at the badges he knew or didn't know, and finally took out the sun cross, and asked playfully: "I understand, but Miss Cloris, I still want to ask, how did you understand?" Do you really believe in the sun that enlightens you?"

"Ah, that's really a cold and warm story," Cloris recalled, "I was an orphan from the mist layer. I lived a life without enough food and clothing, and was abused by my adopters. As long as you behave a little bit out of line, you will be punished by being stripped naked and hung in a dark and damp cellar... Can you understand such a life?"

Bruni tried to look sympathetic, but finally said: "I understand, please continue."

"But the Church of the Sun changed that life. They illuminated me with bright light, so that I will no longer be trapped in such an embarrassing life." Cloris said with a fascinated expression, "The sun has reshaped me, It makes me stronger, so I also hope to spread kindness to more people and save them from the suffering of my childhood."

"Hey..." Bruni finally couldn't help twisting his hair and laughing.

"Mr. Bruni, what are you laughing at?" Cloris asked unhappily, "I know you are a star believer, but am I the same? Even the deep space sages allow multiple religions, we shouldn't Is it more inclusive?"

"Sorry, because your story really broke my common sense about the Church of the Sun," Bruni finally waved his hand, "I understand what you mean, so you represent the Church of Dawn? Why do you use the background of the sun?"

"I'm talking to you very seriously, Mr. Bruni," Cloris frowned, "My evangelical upbringing is a formal charity organization under the name of the Church of the Sun!"

Bruni said helplessly: "I am also telling you very seriously, Miss Cloris, I am from the Republic of Florence. In my hometown, your speech like this will be purged as heresy."

"Are you from the upper world?" Cloris frowned.

"I don't like to use titles such as upper realm and lower realm to distinguish human beings," Bruni said, "I am a star believer, explorer, and Florentine, and there is no essential difference from Gullingting people."

The girl suddenly realized.

It turned out to be a person from the upper realm. Since Florence was also a prince of the Holy Manro Empire, Bruni knew the virtues of the Church of the Sun best.

However, Cloris still said: "Not all sun believers are as extreme as you imagine. In the deep world, we can still unite and love each other."

Anyway, Cloris would never admit that she was a heretic—she was the purest believer in the sun, the stars, and the Grace.

Bruni smelled a conspiracy, but in the end he didn't offer a rebuttal, because he was sure that the person who could say such a thing was [-]% not in the same jug as the Church of the Sun, and the girl saved the nuns of her own church. The enemy of an enemy is a friend, so there is no need to get to the bottom of it.

"I will ask the church for instructions, but your Excellency needs to know that although we allow Floating Star Sea to maintain a variety of beliefs, but the threatening powerful church, we may not really promise anything, but..." Bruni shook his head, He hesitated to speak.

This plague doctor girl might be the inner ghost of Dawn Church.

No matter how fair people are, they also have their own likes and dislikes. Bruni, who left his hometown under the high pressure of the Church of the Sun's great purification, although he has never met the members of the Church of Dawn, he still has a certain degree of goodwill or fantasies about them.

It's just that Bruni didn't choose to immigrate to the Kingdom of France in the end, but became an explorer who traveled around the world, which also made him miss the belief of Chen Xi.

"We will not prevent you from establishing a reformatory in Paradise. Even if you want to spread some things about the Church of the Sun, as long as it is positive, it should be fine," Bruni said, "But I still have to ask Xingdu, if there is any cooperation or I will discuss it with you in detail."

"Alright." Cloris nodded.

Bruni's approval can also represent the attitude of most star believers to a certain extent. If there is strong opposition from the church's internal voice, Bruni will not be as easy to speak as he is now.

However, Cloris also suspects that the label of "heresy" has changed Bruni's mind.

It was late, and now that she had left her footprints in Baiye City, Cloris planned to spend a few days building things in the correctional center, performing all the tricks, and then using the name of charity to send Naina home.

The girl and the elf spent the night in the Babaye City Charity Hospital. The next day when the weather cleared up slightly, Cloris changed into neutral clothes and headed for the Bierre region alone.

The law and order here is better than Paradise, but the management is more chaotic. Therefore, the only church of the Church of the Sun in Gulingting is located here.

Although he is not interested in the preaching of the Church of the Sun, considering that Robert is most likely a heretic, he might as well give the old man a chance to continue to shine for the rest of his life.

Speaking of Dawn, Cloris remembers that Prisna's little lover, Hubbard, created the symbol of Dawn. This is definitely not self-taught, and it can only be done by someone teaching it.

Not everyone is like her with a natural symbol of spiritual veins, and most supernatural beings have to follow the instructions in the classics to complete step by step, which is even more difficult than chimera companion skills.

In particular, there are two-way choices between many spiritual symbols and the personality, thought, and mental state of the extraordinary. If you want to shape the symbols of the Orthodox Church, you have to learn their scriptures and theories, and you must first cultivate your heart to achieve a more perfect fit.

Passing through the black market selling mysterious materials and arriving at the address of the church, Cloris finally saw a narrow door between a brothel and a casino, with crooked metal letters and sun emblems hanging on the door, looking desolate and pitiful— —

"Holy Sun Church, may the scorching sun purify the world of all filth."

471. There Are No Two Days in the Sky, but Three or Four People

When Sister Agatha passed on the news of the church's help to Cloris, the girl had expected that Robert would be in a difficult situation, but she really didn't expect that the Church of the Sun, which was dominating the upper world, would also be reduced to such a situation.

The casino on the left is bustling and noisy, and the brothel on the right is crowded with customers. According to the temper of the Sun Church, this kind of great filth and sin should be purified on the spot. Unfortunately, the reality is that the church staff not only have to swallow their anger, but also have to be bullied by the hooligans here from time to time .

Cloris had the foresight to transfer all the nuns into her secretarial group long ago, while Robert kept around forty monks, sergeants, and odd-job contract workers who had different opinions.

Theoretically, this force can also be a hero in the hot-blooded neighborhood, but the strong dragon does not overwhelm the leader, not to mention the financially tight missionary group cannot reach the threshold of the strong dragon.

Cloris pushed the door and entered, and there was a creaking sound of copper rust, as if a dusty and corrupted secret realm suddenly opened.However, this was already a situation that Robert ordered someone to renovate once. When the missionary group first arrived at this place, they were greeted with choking dust, and what they saw in their eyes was the local priest with his left arm around a prostitute and his right hand holding a wine bottle.

In the early years, the Church of the Sun allocated [-] Aegis to the only church in the Floating Star Sea every year through the Explorer Bank for missionary purposes, intending to open the road of faith from the two directions of the Floating Star Sea and the Drunk Country.

But in recent years, the Church of the Sun has shrunk its strength due to the changes in the upper realm, and there is indeed no news about the progress from the Floating Star Sea. The [-] Aegis Shield has gradually been reduced to [-], and the main personnel have also been recalled one after another.

Today, there is nothing valuable in the church. Before Robert came, there was only one priest and four part-time nuns.The [-] Aegis allocated to the church was squandered, most of the valuable utensils and sculptures were sold off, and the flower windows on the second floor were frequently smashed by thieves, and they were not nailed up until the missionaries came.

Robert received the girl warmly. According to him, the casino on the left and the brothel on the right were originally the property of the church, used to collect believers or serve as a place for public activities. The left side was sold, and the right side was sold, and they all lived a prosperous life in the upper realm. Later, when the appropriation suddenly decreased, the priests could only rely on selling their property.

"Guring Court has a civilization that is far superior to any of Zuixiang and Ubud Nuoer." Robert was still honest and gentle, speaking in a calm manner, but the bruises on his forehead were still unhealed. "But it is this civilization that hinders Without the preaching of the church, there is a more sound and stable order here, and the Church of the Sun can no longer forcefully intervene with violence, nor is it able to win over the local dignitaries."

The Nightless City was originally the limit of the Sun Church's sphere of influence, and in the Nightless City, the Church also had to win over Luntia to stabilize the situation, let alone a place like Gulingting?

In the ancient spirit court, those who the Church of the Sun can lure and benefit from are not qualified to help them preach, and those who are qualified to carry out missions don't care about such "small favors" at all.

"But you don't have to be so miserable," Cloris shrugged nonchalantly while holding a cup of hot tea, "The order given to you by the church is just a whimsical brainstorming. After 'conquering' the city that never sleeps, you want Faith spread to Gulling Court? Who do they think they are?"

The nuns and monks working in the Gospel Correctional Institute have a relatively noble character, and Cloris does not discriminate against them, but for the Church of the Sun itself, young girls hate it.

This is the confessional room, and there is no one around. Robert ignored the girl's contemptuous words and said: "The radical extremists in the missionary group have been detained in conflicts with local gangsters. If we fail to pay the full ransom, They might die."

"I don't have the money to redeem a group of idiots!" Cloris said deliberately angrily, but she had a flash of inspiration, staring at the pale-haired old man, "You instigated it?"

The girl still remembered that this old guy was not a responsible person. As early as when the night city was in charge, he quietly wooed the Abam family and divided Luntia's power.In terms of the general situation, it is actually difficult for Robert's actions to reverse the original situation, but to achieve this level without making a sound, for an 80-year-old man with little background, he has exceeded the limit he should be able to do.

Robert did not answer, still gentle and calm: "The more important problem now is that the gangsters here are used to extracting funds from the church, which is very unfavorable for missionary work, and we will encounter difficulties and inconveniences even in purchasing daily necessities."

Cloris rubbed between her brows, she already understood what this old guy meant—the dangerous radicals have already made Tian Tian Ying incompetent, and now they can safely and boldly tamper with the true meaning of the sun, the problem lies in the lack of a A more suitable environment for communication!

But the bigger problem is that she has nothing to do with Chen Xi!

If Robert knew that she was still a student of the Archbishop of Grace House, he wondered if he would be able to maintain this calm and gentle appearance.

Cloris put down the teacup without changing her expression, and asked calmly, "What do you want us to do?"

Robert's cloudy old eyes lit up, his beard was raised slightly, and his voice was a little excited: "250 years ago, after the disaster of the void, dawn and dusk split one after another, the Church of the Sun launched the first major purification, and the three patriarchs went to Faran , a patriarch sought refuge in the Manro Empire, and two other bloodlines went to the lower world under the pursuit of the Great Purification..."

Cloris listened quietly. Robert saw that the girl was silent, and his mood gradually slowed down. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "My teacher has checked all the files of the Great Purification for more than 100 years, and found that one of the priests The first was martyred in the Noel River in the lower mist layer under the pursuit of the Church of the Sun, and the remaining believers continued to travel to the deep world under the leadership of the Patriarch Mania."

The girl spread her hands and said, "Why did you come to us?"

"After the leader of Dawn, Mania, lost contact, the Church of Dawn fell into a state of fragmentation. The patriarch who established the diocese in the kingdom of Farland relied on an iron fist to become the new patriarch, but his lack of legal rationality made it difficult for him to convince the public," Pointing at himself, Robert said slowly, "As for us, we don't represent a single family of Dawn, Dusk, and Lieyang. Lieyang abandoned his original intention, and believers will naturally change their families. Our faith has never been easier." , he looked at Cloris, remained silent for a long time, and finally said, "We are naturally inclined towards Dawn, but the current Patriarch cannot unite everyone."

Cloris understood.Feelings are coming to orthodoxy.

The girl asked playfully: "Aren't you afraid that the bamboo basket will be empty if you expose yourself like this?"

Robert said gently: "I only represent myself. I don't even know the existence of 'we'. I follow the teachings of my teacher. After my teacher passed away, I can only contact one address. I have never contacted in 40 years. Once."

Cloris immediately lost interest.It turned out to be a lone wolf. 40 years have passed, and it is not clear whether that broken contact address is still useful. This old man has been working all his life and he doesn't even know who he works for.

But it is also possible that he is only for himself, or his teacher.

Cloris thought about it and tapped her index finger on the table: "There is a history, I think your cognition is different."

"Appreciate further details."

"We have never been chased into the deep world by anyone, this is our active choice," Cloris said compassionately, "The fierce sun has fallen, what we are doing is a bottom-up healing, Let the abyss disappear, let the people of the world shine the real light, instead of a momentary power dispute."

Hearing these words, Robert confirmed his judgment even more.

The Church of Dawn exists in the deep world, which Cloris has confirmed from Veronica's words.Since Robert misunderstood her, the girl didn't mind making a mistake.If one day she really meets Chenxi from the deep realm, she can put on a cover of the upper realm and use the information gap to be an intermediary who can get everything going.Let’s not talk about whether you can get benefits, as long as you don’t lose money, for Cloris, it’s a profit.

Robert is still very careful, he has never understood the forces he serves, in the final analysis, he has always served his own heart.

No wonder Robert was so excited when he heard what Cloris said.He is over eighty years old, who knows how many years he will have to live?If he could see the tip of the iceberg at the moment of dying, even if it was a fire, he would jump on it without hesitation.

"Then..." Robert hesitated to speak.

"You don't need to know us thoroughly, time will make everything happen, just as you have insisted on for decades, isn't it?" Cloris said, "I will help you arrange the new church, but you must Remember, here, the cruel methods of the Church of the Sun will not work."

"It's okay, I am also familiar with the classics of Chenxi." Robert let go of his hanging heart.

Dawn, scorching sun, and dusk all belong to the Church of the Sun. Although things about dawn and dusk have been labeled as taboos and heresies, it does not prevent Robert from learning everything.

"Come with me," Cloris said.

She left the confessional, walked out of the church with Robert, and brought several sergeants of the Knights.
