Menethil's Power

Chapter 194 The Church
The headquarters of the Church of the Holy Light in the Royal City of Lordaeron.

The death of the former archbishop Alonsus Fao is undoubtedly a huge blow to the church and the entire human race. Over the years, this incarnation of the Holy Light has been selflessly spreading the grace of the Holy Light, which is enough to be called a saint .

It was very difficult for the Church of the Holy Light to find someone with sufficient ability and prestige to inherit the position of Archbishop.However, as a religious organization that is not very strict, it does not necessarily need an absolute leader, so the position of the archbishop is temporarily vacant, and the bishops' council composed of bishops from the major suburbs becomes the church's decision-making body.

The position of bishop in the Lordaeron region was inherited by the oldest priest, Helen. He was a rather irritable old man, and he hated unbelievers very much.

Two months ago, a young priest returned to this cathedral at the junction of the aristocratic area and the civilian area. She is Faol's most proud disciple. This girl looks only fourteen or fifteen years old, but her rank has reached She has achieved an astonishing level of high-level priest, which is rare in the entire history of mankind, so she once again attracted everyone's attention once she returned.

Another major reason for this concern is that the girl priest is said to have had a very vague relationship with a certain prince.

But the girl didn't seem to care about other people's eyes, she still completed the work that the pastor should do as usual: preaching, giving relief and educating the children adopted by the church.She is no longer the little girl she was three years ago. With her holy appearance, sweet voice and equal care, she has almost become an "angel" in the hearts of believers.

This "angel" has always been calm and quiet, as if nothing can cause her mood to fluctuate, but a few days ago, her mood became extremely high, and the joy in those talking eyes almost overflowed It's like coming.

That day was the time when a certain prince returned.

But after that, the joy of the "angel" gradually extinguished as time went by, until the third day she returned to that peaceful state again, but there was already a faint coldness in her eyes.The priests who knew about the situation couldn't help shaking their heads and sighing, a certain "grateful" prince was too much.

It was under such circumstances that an inconspicuous carriage with an "L" emblem turned into the gate of the cathedral.

The carriage stopped, the door opened, and a young man with blond hair jumped down. He was very familiar to all the clergy in the church. It was His Royal Highness the Great Prince Isaacs of Lordaeron.

Compared with the slow carriage, Isaacs actually prefers to ride a horse, but considering the concealment of travel, he has to choose a carriage, which is generally preferred by women and middle-aged and elderly nobles.

"It's a great honor for us to have you here, Your Highness." Bishop Helen greeted Isaacs, and expressed his welcome to Isaacs. He is indeed grumpy, but he is not stupid. He knows what kind of person to use. manner.

He also didn't call Isaacs a child like he did to other noble children, because in the entire church, only Alonsus Faol could treat the Lordaeron crown prince as an elder, and as for him, Helen was completely unqualified. The young man on the opposite side is also a hero-level clergyman, their status in the church is equal to each other, and in terms of secular status, the other party is the most noble existence in the entire kingdom except the king, so Helen is very sensible and did not show any shelf.

Isaacs nodded, "I'm going to pay homage to the tomb of Archbishop Faol." He said.

Helen showed a look of embarrassment, "The archbishop's body has been sent to the Holy Spirit Monastery for burial. This is his wish. He hopes to die as an ordinary servant of the Holy Light."

Isaacs recalled it, and remembered that the Abbey of the Holy Spirit was almost the existence of a church cemetery, and every devout believer would be buried there after death.This monastery is located in the east of Tirisfal Glades, and in the original timeline it would have a better known name in the future: Scarlet Monastery.

The young paladin felt that it was necessary for him to take some time to investigate Faol's tomb. According to the original history, the archbishop would turn into an undead when he invaded a few years later, which shows that his soul still remained at that time. If it is complete, otherwise it will only be a brainless high-level zombie...

So what if the archbishop's tomb is moved?Moved to Light's Hope Chapel?You must know that the Holy Light's Hope Chapel is a place worthy of being called the holy place of the church. It is not the low-level believers who are buried there, but all the past sages of the church.

Isaacs was thinking, while Hylaine waited quietly, and it took a long time for the prince to come back to his senses, "Where is Partress now?" he asked.

"Pastor Liliana is teaching those children, I will send someone to invite her right away." Helen said graciously.

"No, I'll go in person." Isaacs raised his hand to stop him, and walked towards the interior of the church.

Adopting orphans is a voluntary work of the pastors of the church, and the money used comes from the gifts of believers.Yes, churches also need to collect donations. After all, pastors also need to eat and drink, but there are no rich pastors.Unlike Isaacs' previous world, which used the name of religion to plunder the magic sticks, the holy light itself is the greatest test of the quality of its believers, and those who can get its favor will basically not have any personal losses.

In other words, the higher the level of a priest, the more trustworthy his basic morality and professional integrity.

After all, this is the royal city, and four years have passed since the war, so there are only two hundred orphans adopted by this church.The orphanage for orphans was right next to the church, and Isaacs soon saw the figure of the little pastor.

The little girl picked up in Tarren Mill is now a Tingting girl, perhaps because she was also raised by the monastery. She is very patient and gentle with these orphans, and takes the trouble to restrain them. behavior.

"Jeros! Don't pull Angeli's braid!"

"Stork, no eating in class!"

However, because the image is too gentle and the voice is too soft, although Paltrace tried hard to look fierce, the children were not afraid of her at all. Started to play around.

"If you keep doing this, I'll tell Sister Morisa!" The forced and helpless Paltrace finally sent out the trump card angrily.

The children fell silent in an instant. Apparently, Sister Morisa was the kind of stern old nun that the children feared the most.

Isaacs watched amusedly, not wanting to disturb them.The young prince soon discovered that the more than 30 children taught by Partress were basically in the same age group, which indicated that the church was carrying out planned education for the adopted orphans in batches.

It seems that they have formed a relatively complete education system, Isaacs thought to himself.

When it was finally time for get out of class to end, Partress let the children leave with a sigh of relief, but when she finally walked out of the classroom, she found a figure she had been thinking about day and night, and she instantly became at a loss.

"You...you are here." She stammered.

Isaacs didn't reply, and the two just looked at each other.Finally the prince reached out and stroked the top of Partrace's head as he always did, dissolving the invisible embarrassment.

"Our Paltrace has grown up." He said in a doting tone.

The little pastor's tense body also relaxed. She looked at Isaacs without blinking, and her eyes suddenly filled with tears.

"Okay, okay, I'm back." Isaacs hurriedly said, "Come back and have dinner with me tonight. Father, Queen Mother, and Queen Mother miss you a lot."

Partridge was silent for a while. She had countless things to say to the most important person in her life. She wanted to confide her inner worries in the past few months; Resentment; confide in the slight jealousy towards Valeera and Christasa who intervened in the relationship between the two of them... She wanted to say a lot, but in the end, only this sentence came out:

"No need, I am an 'outsider' after all, since I am no longer a child, it would be inappropriate to enter and leave the palace at will."

"How can you say you are an outsider?" Isaacs certainly disagreed with her statement, "For me and my family, you are almost my own sister."

There was a bit of bitterness in the corner of Paltress's mouth, is she just a sister?
"Not yet." Partress finally shook her head and said, "I'm needed here, these children need me." She looked at the children who were playing around.

Isaacs was dumbfounded, he couldn't push any further, so the two fell into an awkward silence again,
Human growth is very fast. In just a few years, the days of childhood sweethearts and childhood sweethearts are gone forever.

"You should still be busy with a lot of things." Finally, Patrice said, "I am very happy that you can visit me, but the time of the crown prince of Lordaeron is very precious, and he should not continue to be here Waste of time."

Isaacs was taken aback, is this seeing off a guest? "Then I'm leaving." He said subconsciously.

Partress curtseyed him very nicely.

Isaacs hesitated for a moment, but added, "If you miss my parents and me, you can come to the palace at any time, and the guards will not stop you."

The little pastor nodded slightly.

Isaacs was stunned for a while, and finally he could only sigh helplessly, and turned to leave. He didn't look back, so he didn't know what kind of gaze Partress was watching his back until he completely disappeared in her eyes. in sight.
