The first day of the Festival of Light opened very peacefully, and even smoothly it was a bit like a fake. No one made any trouble, not even the cultists who used to come out to make trouble. Only those believers were busy receiving the blessings of the bishops, while restlessly asking about the end of the world. And to such inquiries, all the bishops basically unanimously answered, it was just a rumor, and the world was not destroyed. You see, we have even experienced scenes like the Second World War, so what are these small crises about? Difficulties are temporary, and as long as you work hard, you will eventually win.

I don't know if it was because these words moved the believers, or if it was because the public speech of the Sage Nora on the first day and the opening of the Hall of Praise stabilized people's hearts, but all in all, at least on the first day of the Feast of Light, everything went well. There was nothing out of the ordinary, and everyone in the Templar Order breathed a sigh of relief. But even so, they did not let their guard down, because everyone knew that the Holy Light Festival had a total of three days, and although the first day was safe for now, no one could guess what the remaining two days would look like. Therefore, both the priests who are passing on the teachings and the paladins who are in charge of guarding are still 120,000 points more vigilant.

But it had nothing to do with Jenn, he just stayed in his room, ate and slept, slept and ate, and then went into a daze (of course, on the surface that's called prayer). Jenn didn't wait for the Tablet of Fate today, but this was normal, and in fact Jenn knew very well that no one was going to make trouble at the first issue of the Light Festival, unless their goal was to kick the Templar Order, otherwise doing so would only make the Templar more vigilant and make the job harder and harder. So someone like Jenn who specializes in having a clear goal. Of course, I am not willing to increase the difficulty to reduce the success rate of my mission. It is even possible that many of the cultists and those captured by the Templar before the start of the Light Festival were reported by other undead creatures and various evil forces. In order to prevent those brain-dead people from messing up their whole plan because of their own selfishness.

Come to think of it, if any idiot cultist had caused trouble at the Light Festival in order to crack down on the Templars. The Templars were then forced to raise their alert level, and even to cancel some activities that could cause trouble and trouble. Then Jenn and the rest of the undead who came for the Tablet of Destiny will probably join forces to uproot that bastard and the cult behind him. It is not necessary to peel the skin and cramp to relieve the hatred in your heart.

And because of this, the first day of the Festival of Light ended so easily and smoothly. But that's just the beginning. There are two days left, and no one knows when the Tablet of Destiny will arrive.

No one.

Jenn looked up and glanced out the window. I saw that on the edge of the silver moon outside the window, I could see thick white clouds floating there. Everything seemed perfectly normal, but it was the first day. So far, I'm afraid that's it. Case......... Thinking of this, Jenn's expression moved, and then he stood up, pushed the door open and walked out of the room.

At this moment, the Monastery of Lilies no longer has the noise of the day, and the believers have left here. And the nuns, who had been busy all day, had already gone to bed. However, not everyone was resting, and as Jenn walked through the hallway into the church, he soon saw a familiar figure.

In the light of candlelight. I saw Ellie kneeling in front of the statue of the Nine Saints, she closed her eyes and prayed intently. The warm and dim candlelight shone on the body of the saint. made her originally otherworldly figure have a little more of the aura that a mortal should have, but it looks more and more exciting. Hearing the footsteps, Ellie also opened her eyes and looked back, and after seeing Jenn, Ellie also hurriedly stood up.

"Bishop Herbert, you haven't rested yet?"

"I've had a day off and can't sleep right now, so I wanted to come and see it."

As he spoke. Jenn looked at Ellie in front of him.

"On the contrary, Your Highness the Holy Maiden, why don't you go and rest? Today you preach to those believers. I've been tired all day. I feel that you should rest well to prepare for tomorrow's missionary work. After all. This Holy Light Festival will last for three days, and I'm afraid there will be more people coming tomorrow to ask for guidance, and if you don't have a good spirit, I'm afraid you won't be able to survive. ”

"Thank you for your concern, Bishop Herbert."

Ellie was not suspicious of Jenn's words, although she was a little puzzled why the bishop had not stayed in the library, but had run to the Lily Flower Monastery. But Ellie is not stupid, she knows how serious the Templar Order's festival is this time, and Bishop Herbert has come here quietly this time, I am afraid that there is some special mission. So she didn't dwell too much on this, but quickly moved on to another topic.

"Actually, I can't sleep a little bit."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Jenn couldn't help but frown.

"If Her Highness has any doubts, why don't you speak up and listen to them? Of course, if you find this inconvenient, forget it. ”

"There's nothing inconvenient about that."

Hearing Jenn's words, Ellie also hurriedly waved her hand, and then she frowned and pondered for a moment, as if she was hesitating about something. Eventually, though, Ellie made up her mind and asked.

"In fact......... This is a little question in my heart, Bishop Herbert, do you remember that you had recommended that I consult the biography of Her Highness Catherine? ”

"Of course remember, is there anything wrong with Her Highness the Holy Maiden?"

"Yes..............."

Hearing this, Ellie hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she asked.

"I recognize that Her Highness Catherine has indeed performed a great service, and that what she has done is the result of the fairness and justice we seek. But why......... Why didn't it end out that way at all? Is there really no way to save everyone at the same time? ”

If it is those records on Earth, then there will definitely be beautification and forcible distortion. However, the historical record of the Templar Order is different, and the biographers of the Templar Order are generally members of the Church of the True Eye. And their identity and nature as believers determine that they cannot cover up history, nor can they cover up history. So the record they wrote down is also the most objective -- of course, it is not completely devoid of flaws, after all, the central value of the true eye is truth, but this does not include concealment. For the Templars, even a partial fact is a fact. They just have to be selective and pick out the parts. It's like in the story of Catherine, the final part of the chapter where the soul of the saint is supposed to appear, then look at the crowd and curse, and finally fall into the dark hell in front of everyone's eyes, but this part is completely absent from the history of the Templar.

But on the other hand, this section is a big book in the historical records of the demons in the lower realm--it can be seen that in fact, the two sides are almost the same.

To put it bluntly, half a catty and eight taels are not much better.

However, Ellie's focus is obviously not on this ending, although Catherine's experience is too different from herself, but she feels that both sides are the same deep down. That is, do we have to sacrifice others in order to save the majority?

This question has never been answered by Ellie, especially after sacrificing the elves, and Ellie has always had trouble sleeping. Again and again, she comforted herself that justice had triumphed and that the elves' sacrifice was worth it. And the undead legions were also blocked, and all this is correct. But every time she remembered that the originally beautiful forest burned in flames and turned into a black, dry wreck, Ellie felt a dull pain in her heart. She always felt as if she shouldn't have made this decision, and although her sanity recognized the correctness of this decision, her feeling was somewhat rejecting the existence of this "reasonableness". It's as if after making this decision, I lost something.

Ellie doesn't even know if it's her own delusion. Perhaps, it's just that I'm thinking too much. After all, even the Elven Queen had comforted herself, and Jenny had told herself that she had made that suggestion, and that there were many such options in the dark realms -- this is the case in this world, and there is no such thing as the best of both worlds.

However, thinking of the forest buried by the flames, and the thought of the elven princess who seemed to have lost her soul, Ellie felt a little regretful. Maybe she shouldn't have done that in the first place, if they had stuck to the way they fought before, maybe they still wouldn't be able to withstand the attack of the undead army, but maybe not like now. But......... Who can say for sure?

Ellie originally hoped to find out the records of other saints to see their choices, but after reading Catherine's deeds, she became more and more confused. Even Catherine, who is as powerful as the Saint Maiden, has to face this dilemma of choosing between choosing her beloved or saving the world. As a saint, she fulfilled her mission. But is that what she's after?

Ellie didn't get a definitive answer.

And at this time, Herbert's voice sounded in Ellie's ears again.

"Perhaps, it wasn't like that, Your Highness."

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Ellie raised her head in surprise and looked at the old bishop in front of her. (To be continued.) )
