"Since my father has told you about it, I have nothing to hide," Isabel said quietly, "my sister Natalia is a very unfortunate girl, born with a strange disease, and her limbs are too weak to exert her strength, and if it were not for Leonid, she would have been confined to a bed or a wheelchair for the rest of her life, and she would never have been able to experience what it was like to walk alone." ”

"This sounds a bit like polio......" Roland muttered in a low voice, noticing Isabel's puzzled gaze and quickly changing his words, "If someone casts a high-level magic spell on Natalia, it is very likely that her illness will be cured." ”

"When my sister was young, my father had not yet been elected mayor of the town, but he was just a small businessman who opened a watch shop, and he had neither the connections nor the financial resources to hire a high-ranking priest to treat my sister, not to mention that my ancestor was a heretic exiled to the Far East by the Imperial Holy See, and it is impossible for the priest of the Holy Light to cast a spell for the descendants of heretics." Isabel smiled sadly, "Until my sister became an adult, my family's economic situation improved, my father saved a lot of savings in business, and was elected mayor of the town, so he was more active in seeking medical treatment for his sister, and he even asked someone to buy a coincidence certificate, as long as Natalia washed away her heresy with the help of the coupon, she could get the treatment of Pastor Perot, and it should not be difficult to get rid of the disease that has tormented her for more than ten years." ”

"That's true, Mr. Mayor really put a lot of effort into recovering his beloved daughter's health." Roland sighed.

"Now that things are ready, why didn't Natalia recover in the end?" Nikita asked, puzzled.

"My dear sister Nikita, the matter is bad on that indulgence," Isabel couldn't help but redden, reflecting on her sister's experience, "Father asked a priest Pero to hold an atonement ceremony for Natalia, it stands to reason that as long as a person sincerely regrets his mistakes, the atonement ceremony will be successful, but that day something went wrong, and the ceremony failed, and the priest was furious, vowing never to forgive Natalia, and he also had to report the humiliation he suffered in my house that day to the Holy See, Calling on all Priests Pero to condemn my poor sister and refuse to provide her with any services, whether it be a ritual of atonement or a divine healing......"

"What did Natalia do to Pastor Pero that made him so angry?" Nikita became more and more curious.

"Actually, there is no offense to go too far, but Natalia is a more upright person, when the atonement ceremony is held, the priest holds the indulgence and asks her if she is truly repentant, but Natalia asks the other party, 'I, a cripple who was born on a sickbed, and I can't afford to sin if I want to sin, what sin do I have to reflect on?' ”

"OMG!" Nikita patted her forehead, "Your sister is really ...... Terrific! How dare you say such a thing in front of Pastor Perot! ”

Roland couldn't help but smile bitterly, Natalia's mistake was to tell the truth, and this time it was a big trouble.

"Who's to say it isn't?" Isabel shrugged her shoulders and spread her hands, "My sister has been tormented by illness all her life, she has a sensitive temperament and is not familiar with human feelings, she only admits death, and that Priest Pero said that she is a heretic and was born with original sin, so she must sincerely atone for her sins in order to be liberated, Natalia asked unconvinced on the spot, 'Mr. Priest, do you think it is reasonable to infer a person's heresy by blood? 'If the Holy See believes that a person's religious beliefs can be passed on unconditionally to future generations, are all your ancestors Perio followers?' Could it be that in the Arcane Age, before the creation of the Holy See, your ancestors did not believe in other gods, according to the logic of the Holy See - your ancestors were heretics, and you are not also hereticals? What qualifications do you have to ask me to atone for my sins! ’”

"Justified criticism, but unfortunately used in the wrong place at the wrong time." Roland deeply regrets the untimely death of Miss Natalia, "She criticized Pastor Perot so fiercely, and indulgences could not change her fate." ”

The "indulgence" is actually a magic scroll, which does not mean that it will work if you spend money to buy it, but you also need to hire a priest to use this scroll to perform "atonement", and only after the spell is successfully cast can the "atonement ritual" be completed. However, there is a strict condition for the "Atonement" spell, which requires the recipient to sincerely reflect and repent of their mistakes, if the heart is not sincere enough, the reflection is not deep enough, and there is still resentment in the heart, then the spell will definitely end in failure, and it is just a waste of a magic scroll.

Judging from Isabel's relays of Natalia's fierce words, this young lady did not mention any sincere repentance, she did not think that she had any mistakes at all, and severely criticized the priest Peero who held the atonement ceremony for her, how could this atonement ceremony be carried out? It is not surprising that the result angered the pastor.

"Your Highness Roland, Sister Nikita, over the years I have often recalled my sister's criticism of the Holy See of Perot, and the more I think about it, the more I feel that every word makes sense, let's just think that heresy is a sin, but how can this sin be passed on to future generations through blood? This is simply nonsense! Isabelle's face was full of indignation, and if she was seen by Priest Perot, it would surely be taken as ironclad proof that "the sister of the heretic is still a heretic".

"I don't know what the Pero believers think, but we Sindra believers have never agreed with the 'heretical theory of original sin', we don't think that there is any bullshit 'original sin' in the world at all, people may be born poor or rich because they were born in different families, and the starting line in material life is different, but spiritually, each of us is equal, and no one is born with spiritual shackles." Roland said lightly.

"That's a good point! Hearing what you said, I couldn't help but feel a little moved, and I wanted to make a pilgrimage to Krasbourg! Isabel was awakened by Roland's religious fervor and deeply regretted that her sister was born at the wrong time, "If Natalia had lived to see the spiritual chains imposed on the hearts of our Far Easterners smashed by the Holy See of Perot, she would have been very happy, and she would not need to perform any more atonement rituals to ask the priesthood of the goddess of fate to heal her of her old illness." ”

"It is indeed an inopportune time......," Roland sighed softly, and said with deep feeling, "Isabel, I am saddened by what happened to your sister, and I sincerely hope that such a tragedy will not happen again in the Far East in the future." ”
