193. Another Holy Maiden

Shephaneo patted her cheek with some distress, she had just finished "communicating" with Eswintertle.

Of course, this kind of communication can't be very pleasant, it is completely Eswinter's unilateral compulsion, and she does not take into account Shephaneo's personal opinions and opinions at all. And for this way of talking to herself, Shefanio couldn't resist, which of course made her feel a little unhappy. But what made her very depressed was, strictly speaking, indeed belong to the direct descendants of this goddess, although the bloodline has been thinned to the extent that it is like pouring a drop of lemon juice into the sea, but since the awakening of the bloodline, as long as the goddess wants to, she can contact her anytime and anywhere, whether she is willing or not.

Basically, anyone who can become a saint or a son in the church of the gods actually has the blood of this god to a greater or lesser extent. The only difference is whether it belongs to the direct line or the collateral lineage, or through other ways of genetics, resonance, etc., and the so-called candidates for the competition for the Holy Son and Holy Daughter are actually to choose the most outstanding person among those who have the power of the blood of the gods.

Those who are usually able to attain this status are not only a manifestation of devout belief in the gods, but also a manifestation of the power of the gods in the mortal church. After all, if a god wants to descend from a god, it must be a body that carries its will, and the purity of faith and the depth of the bloodline of this body are directly related to the fundamental factors of how much power this god can exert in the main material realm and how long it can maintain its existence after the god descends.

Therefore, every church is extremely careful in the selection of sons and daughters.

With the depth of Shefanio's bloodline, it would have been a no-brainer for her to become a saint - in fact, in addition to being the current chief priest with a knife in the Church of Ice and Winter, she also served as the Pope, the Holy Maiden, the head of the Knights of the Church, the chief priest, and a whole host of other messy titles and identities.

This was originally just an ordinary farming girl. It's a kind of pressure that makes her feel extremely heavy.

Therefore, unlike ordinary saints and popes who have vast dreams, ambitions, and desires, the only thing that Shephaño wants is to live a peaceful and happy life one day. Even if it's just a simple variety of flowers and plants, it's a rare beauty for Shefanio.

Rubbing his forehead with some distress and headache, Shefanio got up and left his living room.

This temple of the goddess of snow and winter has just been built, and many places have not yet been completely built, so it can be seen everywhere in the corridors inside the temple that still has scaffolding. However, it was already nightfall, and the workers who had come to build here had already called it a day and gone home. And the priests who had just been recruited to work in the temple through screening were also starting evening prayers at the moment, so Shephaño didn't see anyone as he walked around the temple.

These priests are still relatively young—the average age is only sixteen—and although they have been praying and training for some time, the most gifted and devout of these people have only just reached the level of the second order. Not even a lower bronze, let alone reaching Sean's ideal goal - a priest.

This is a fourth-order existence. That is, the upper bronze powerhouse.

Compared to the purely auxiliary profession of priesthood. The priest has a certain degree of combat ability, although it will weaken part of the divine effect, but it can obtain the buff ability of the combat type divine magic power increase, so this is the reason why Sean has been forming a group of divine officers for what he wants. As long as there is a strong enough clerical regiment on the battlefield, then the combat effectiveness of the army can be forcibly increased by at least one level, if combined with Rena's aura skill. It is not impossible for a third-level army to transform into a quasi-sixth-level or even sixth-level army.

At present, the group of priests recruited by the Church of Snow and Winter are all trained in the direction of the rank of priest.

This is an agreement as part of a secret pact between Ace Winter and Sean in exchange for the absolutization of faith in Sean's domain.

It's just, in the exchange with Ace Winter just now. But it made Shefanio feel a little confused.

"Sister Xuefa."

As she walked to the main hall of the temple, she happened to see Cecilia walking towards the temple and greeting her.

Seeing Cecilia show a sweet smile, no matter how cold and ruthless Cephaneo was, he also showed a slight smile at this time, although this smile was very elegant, but it still made Cecilia feel a kind of spring warmth.

"You little one, how did you come here?"

Because of the relationship between Ace Winter and Sean, the Ice and Winter Church is about to become Sean's domestic church, and even Shephaneo and Sean and others are very close. And Cecilia has always been very likable in the territory - whether it is the lords or the army or the followers under Sean, although Shephaneo is not Sean's followers, but in fact he is almost equal to his followers, so it is not surprising that he has a good relationship with Cecilia.

"Sean asked me to come to you." Cecilia naturally took Shephaneo's hand and said with a grin, "The chief priest of the goddess of life is now in Sean's room to heal the wound on his hand, but it is necessary to take out the crystal that Tini used on his hand earlier. ”

"The chief priest of the goddess of life?" There was a hint of surprise on Shephaño's face.

"Looks like it's called Heatley."

"This is a candidate for the Holy Maiden of the Church of the Goddess of Life, and Sean's identity is not enough for the chief priest to take action himself." The look of surprise on Sefanio's face was even more obvious, "Sean, this guy must have used some violent means again, right?" ”

"Fred personally led the Thunder Lion to ask for someone, accompanied by Sister Rena." Cecilia snickered.

The Thunder Lion is Alfred's guard regiment, with a full strength of 300 people, and is subordinate to the establishment of the Thunder Lion. These three hundred people can be said to be the strongest people in the entire Thunder Lion, and each of them is at least at the level of the lower silver, even compared to the Cecilia Guards under the command of Klov, it is only high, if it is not for the overall strength of the Thunder Lion, this is already a force close to the strength of the fifth-level army.

With such a group of terrorists and Rena, how could the eighteen Templars of the Goddess of Life Church with the most strength that is the highest level of silver be able to stop it. Even if the two attendants around Heatley were the strength of the lower gold, but in front of Rena, who was riding a war horse, these two people did not dare to act rashly at all, and could only watch Heatli being taken away by Alfred's order.

"I know the way." Shephaneo sighed.

"But I suspect that Heatley must have offended someone." Cecilia tilted her head and said with some hesitation, "According to Fred, those eighteen Templar Knights are only at the level of trainee knights, and even if he is the only one, these eighteen knights are no match for him. …… Don't you think it's a strange thing to protect Heatley with such a team? ”

"It's kind of weird indeed." Shefanio nodded, but she couldn't say what was strange, after all, the Church of Ice and Winter was simply her hall of words, and no one was competing with her for a lot of names such as saints, popes, chief priests, etc., or if there were, Shefanio would even like to give it to others immediately, so of course it would not be clear that there were also many factions within the church.

"I don't think those people in the Life Church can expect this chief priest to do anything here, and the other factions in the Life Church are probably waiting for this opportunity to attack her and the faction behind her." Cecilia was obviously extremely sensitive to conspiracies and the like, and she could easily figure out the whole thing from the little clues that Alfred told her, "Maybe there will be some attacks against this chief priest, so I have already agreed with Fred that he will be responsible for the safety of this chief priest in the territory during this time." …… At the very least, the chief priest can't have anything to do here. ”

"That's right." Shephaño tilted her head slightly, "I don't know about this, but I do have one more thing to talk to Sean about, and that old immortal Ace Winter told me to tell me." ”

As he spoke, he repeated the words to Cecilia.

Cecilia's eyes soon lit up, and she said with some excitement, "If that's the case...... Hey, that's another problem for Sean and Neil. And if done right, we might even be able to make Heatley owe us a favor. ”

Looking at Cecilia like a money fan who suddenly discovered a huge treasure, Shephaño couldn't help frowning, lightly nodded Cecilia's head, and said with a smile: "Look at your appearance, you are about to be spoiled by William and Neil's two black-bellied guys." …… Everything can be calculated, and in this world, there are not so many conspiracies and calculations. ”

Cecilia looked at Shephaño with a bitter little face, and then said, "Sister Xuefa, are you really older than me?" ”

"Of course!" Shefanio nodded proudly, "I'm twenty-five years old this year." ”

"But to me, you're talking more like a five-year-old." Cecilia sighed.

Originally, Cecilia wanted to say that those children born from nobility and royalty would be intrigued at the age of five. But as soon as she thought of Shephaneo's origins, Cecilia swallowed this sentence back into her stomach, although it didn't matter if she said it with her relationship with Shefanio, but the etiquette of the nobles was also very good, and Cecilia was taught that she should not talk nonsense even in front of her friends.

"You're begging to fight!" Shephaño said this, but he only reached out to tickle Cecilia's itch.

Soon, a silver bell-like laugh rang out.

In a short time, these two extremely attractive women were already running in the Void City, heading towards the Lord's Mansion. (To be continued......)
