Our family is in decline

She had grown up in a monastery and accepted the church's teachings deeply into her bones. Although she vaguely felt something was wrong, she couldn't say it out loud. She could only resort to the most core method in religious theory - speaking hard.

Lance doesn't mind, just resist. The more you resist, the happier I will be.

The nun tried her best to cut off those messy thoughts, and silently recited the sacred scriptures that she had memorized. At the same time, she did not forget to put forward some ideas to refute Lance's ideas.

"The holy flame is with us. It is the church that maintains the order of the world. It is the church..."

The nun sung the greatness of the Holy Flame, kept talking about the merits of the church, and compared the church to the only light in the darkness, as if only the church could have human beings, and without the church, human beings would be dead.

Lance felt something was wrong. This argument... you're not talking about the church, you're talking about the damn bad guys, right?

"Uh... is it possible... I said maybe... that we didn't teach everyone to live the same life?"

The nun who was talking suddenly stopped because of Lance's words. She subconsciously opened her mouth to refute something, but she suddenly froze.

She originally wanted to say that there were many places destroyed by evil forces, but those places seemed to be more or less related to the church.

On the contrary, here, even after getting rid of the connection with the church, it was not destroyed. On the contrary, it was exceptionally prosperous, not to mention that it was saved several times.

The bread here is really delicious~

"Actually, I don't deny the church's contribution in some places. Your efforts have indeed played a certain role in maintaining order. But have you ever thought that this was done by humans themselves, not by God?"

Lance knew that she was terminally ill and had little chance of undoing the influence of religion on her thinking.

So all he had to do was cut, cut God from the church, and then cut her from the church.

To put it simply, we need to remove the middleman, the church, and prevent him from making the difference.

It’s not that the nun didn’t think of a way to refute, but she had never been in society, and all she said was nonsense. She was no different from the imbecile public intellectuals her mother used to boast about mentally retarded stories in Yilin, Readers and Youth Digest.

Lance didn't mind at all, but instead aroused his hunting mentality. Although he was a waste in his previous life, he had been in the Internet for many years, so he was very experienced in dealing with these guys.

Resist, the more you resist I will be happy.

Lance is based on reality and material things, and the theories and claims that the church is based on lies are as vulnerable to him as toilet paper.

She couldn't defeat Lance. The nun who was based on this could only be disintegrated inch by inch by the seemingly indestructible "armor" covering the surface, revealing the soft inner part, which was then firmly held by him.

Cool!

Seeing the nun being silenced by him, Lance felt relaxed for a long time. The pressure accumulated during this period was released, and he remembered the happy time when he relied on the "key" to move.

He was happy, but the nun immediately shut herself down.

The already thin face was directly sunken and shadowed, and the bright eyes became dim and lifeless, and the whole person seemed in a trance, looking completely ruined.

Her theories about the church were all broken by Lance, and she fell into emptiness because of this.

And it was still in a closed room, which added to the pressure.

After being entangled in those things, she fell into internal friction in her thinking, and her entire spirit weakened rapidly.

Uh...have you gone a little too far?

Lance couldn't help but feel guilty when he saw her silent look, but it quickly disappeared.

He was doing this for her own good, and yes, it was better to be deceived by him than to be deceived by the church. At least he would not let her die.

Lance could see the weird look on her face, which wasn't good news.

He thought he had spoken too much and might have vaguely triggered the red line set by the church.

The relationship between the two had just begun, and he was afraid that talking about it would only arouse resentment, so Lance immediately changed his words, affirmed the existence of faith, and comforted her.

“Belief is free, but belief is limited to oneself and is a personal behavior. Once mixed with religious concepts, it will deteriorate.

So get it, you are who you are and the church is just taking advantage of you and your beliefs through lies. "

Lance came closer and sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her with a gentle smile on his face.

I thought she would continue to be tough, but her next words shocked Lance.

"Yes, I think so."

ah! this……?

Even Lance was a bit unresponsive.

You are a battle nun with strong faith, are you giving in now?

I have to say that this sentence immediately brought him to a halt, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

However, Lance quickly realized whether he had misunderstood something or not. The nun was not as firm as expected.

Because there is a very strange point, that is, if the church really wants to hunt down the wizard, it should send a team of knights, or a small team. It is impossible to send only an unknown nun, and they can’t even get supplies. I’m hungry. a few days.

Lance began to realize that there was a problem with her identity...

"Why do you say that? Tell me your understanding." Lance couldn't admit his mistake directly, but he could figure out her situation first.

The nun was not wary and told Lance her story naturally.

The nun's name is Junia. She was taken away from her parents by the church when she was very young, and then grew up with her sisters in the convent of St. Martha.

Just like Leonard when she was a child, she also endured various cruel punishments for her studies, and finally became an "honorable" nun.

She had never learned to fight, and she only performed various religious rituals on weekdays. Later, she was selected to join the nuns and sisters to worship the holy fire of the order devoutly and humbly.

In fact, it is boring mechanical work like guarding the altar, adding firewood to the brazier.

The simple life in the monastery is very ordinary, but under the protection of the church, they enjoy a tranquility that ordinary people outside the high walls cannot imagine.

But there is a price to pay. The chosen ones need to be pure, they are given chastity belts, they are taught to abide by their duties, and they are taught to control themselves when desire arises.

She has always been a model of responsibility and virtue, even if the chastity belt hurt her, and she had no complaints even if she kept repeating meaningless labor.

Until one day, a couple appeared in the garden outside the church...she felt love...

The more she suppressed the strong emotion, the more it flooded her heart, and her focus gradually became lost.

The nun who was immersed in fantasy was startled by the angry scolding of the abbess. When she reacted, she realized that the sacred fire had been extinguished.

"He actually said I lost my faith! Me!!!"

The nun suddenly became irritable and her tone became impulsive.

When the abbess dragged her into the secret dungeon hidden under the convent, her screams of terror echoed in the corridors, and she could even see the uneasiness on the faces of the other nuns.

There was no light, and it was completely shrouded in darkness. The executioners also wore hoods and seemed not to use their eyes at all.

She was imprisoned in the dark dungeon of the monastery, while bearing the self-blame in her heart for her blasphemy, waiting for God's punishment.

On the other side, she had to endure extreme torture by those angry fanatics, and as a deterrent to other nuns, she would be punished far more severely than her blasphemy.

"The cage almost turned me from piety to hatred."

The harsh punishment almost took away her life, and every torture instrument in the dark dungeon was stained with her blood.

Just when she was about to give up, a golden light appeared out of thin air and entered the lifeless dark dungeon.

What she was waiting for was not divine punishment. She could feel the strength emerging from her tortured and exhausted body, and the injuries were healing.

At this moment, she believed that this was God’s affirmation of her sinlessness and that she had been approved by God.

There is no divine punishment waiting for her, but her captors have turned their backs on God!

"I am no longer afraid of the dark, my body and soul are sacred, the light has not abandoned me!"

The power given by the Holy Light allowed her to break free from the shackles with a more fanatical attitude than a fanatic, killing those who tortured her, and when she rushed out of the dungeon in high spirits, she returned to the corridor of the monastery.

"The truth cannot be hidden for a long time. You are innocent and love is innocent."

Eager to share the news of her liberation with the nuns, she rushed to the dormitory, but only then did she discover that the place where the door used to stand was now a brand new stone wall.

The smile on her face froze instantly, and the cheers and cheers stopped abruptly.

At this moment, she seemed to hear a faint scraping sound coming from behind the solid stone wall filled with dried mortar, followed immediately by the last miserable gasps of the nuns.

She realizes that the cost of her indulgence is measured in more than just the flail that hits her body.

"Because of my arrogance..."

The nun didn't say it clearly, but it was obvious from her appearance that the nuns were implicated because of her negligence and died in a desperate manner.

It was very simple later on. She found the abbot to confront her, but the situation was surprisingly similar to Leonard's, but she was expelled from the monastery.

But the difference is that she has mastered the divine power, and even the church does not dare to embarrass her, but uses a very clever method to drive her away.

That was the expedition, which was effectively the equivalent of exile from the center of power.

With the attention of the divine power, her faith is very firm, but she is very twisted about the recognition of the church.

This question has not been answered along the way, so she still, or can only act in the same way as before. After all, she has been like this since she was a child, and she has formed an inertia.

Until now, when I met this strange town and Lance, I unexpectedly found that everything I encountered could be explained by this theory.

It turns out that it was not you who was wrong, but the church.

She figured it out, but it was pity that Lance was confused.

This is wrong... Could it be that the god Holy Light really cares about human beings?

A nun is not the kind of person who can lie. This is the only way to explain this miraculous phenomenon.

But Lance quickly thought of something and couldn't help but look at the nun and asked.

"Were you sent to a convent by your parents or were you taken away?"

The nun didn't know why she suddenly asked this, but she still answered in the affirmative.

"I was taken away."

Hearing this, Lance suddenly seemed to understand something. Could she be one of those extraordinary gifted children taken in by the church...

Lance remembered Tamara saying that the church would "pick up" children who might become extraordinary beings.

If it is assumed that nuns themselves have talents, and that only the most powerful among them can be "imprisoned" by the church in the monastery, they have not been discovered.

So what was going through her mind while being tortured in the dungeon?

Of course, it was the recognition of the Holy Light, and the suffering caused by the punishment directly made her break through her limits. The spirituality was controlled by her, and she naturally became the Holy Light that appeared out of thin air in the darkness.

If this is the case, everything will be figured out.

"How long does it take for other clergy to be able to perform divine spells, and how long does it take for the injury just now to be healed?"

"Normal ones won't work. They need to rest after using them."

Lance used Tamara's injuries as a reference. When the nun mentioned the difference between the two, it was equivalent to confirming his guess.

At this moment, Lance was convinced that he was right. If this was the case, everything would explain why the remaining nuns were executed.

Because these people who were not allowed to have access to extraordinary power, now suddenly someone has awakened. What if they awaken together with them?

Neither the abbot nor the church would allow this uncontrolled situation to occur.

You are the one who holds the power of interpretation. If you have direct contact with the Holy Light, what use do we have?

Lance figured it out and knew that this was the answer that truly killed the church in the nun's heart.

He hurriedly told her. After knowing everything, the nun seemed a little strange. What she said to herself surprised Lance again.

"This is the only way to explain why the man named Leonard betrayed the church but still has the power of the Holy Light. It was the Holy Light that affirmed him, not the Church that affirmed him. We were all deceived..."

One can imagine Lance's shock when he heard this. He was so familiar with Leonard, how could he not know that he still had this skill?

Is Leonard hiding something from himself?

Lance was silent, but decided to believe that Leonard would not hide it for no reason. This matter requires investigation to know the reason.

Dangzhi tentatively communicated with the nun, making insinuations about Leonard's power of holy light.

"It's very slight, but I did feel a faint divine power when he was emotional."

The nun didn't have much thought. She didn't realize that this was a temptation and told the situation directly.

After learning the general situation from the nun, Lance felt relieved. It seemed that Leonard did not intend to hide it, and he did not even know about it.

To be honest, Lance didn't understand either, because he had confirmed before that Leonard did not have the talent of a transcendent.

Could it be that if he was asked to believe in the sun, he would really believe in something?

No way……
