Chapter 395: Marda Wants to Become a Holy Priest
Sitting in the rental carriage, Marda's mood was a little nervous.
As a gifted nun, at the age of sixteen she was sent to the Three Spirits Monastery to be trained as the next candidate for the Holy Throne.
The priest of the Holy Throne is a very special position within the Church, with the same rights as the bishop but with some privileges, but this office is only available to one person within the Church.
Generally after the death of the last priest of the Holy Throne, the Church will confirm the next candidate within ten years.
Marda served as a priestly alternate for the Holy Throne cultivated by the Springs.
As long as nothing else, when she is twenty-five years old, becoming the new priest of the Holy Throne is almost a certainty.
However, there are still three years to go before the selection day.
Since he has been a priest's apocrypate or, more precisely, since he left the orphanage and joined the church organization.
Marda faced the most difficult choice of her life.
- The saint's legacy was taken away.
In the first year of entering the monastery, the old man in the monastery gave instructions to Marda. As a candidate for the priesthood, she only needs to study the Church and prepare for the future at the age of twenty-five.
Other than that, there is no need to do anything superfluous.
Even if the sword of Santa Caterina was taken away today, in fact, Marda didn't need to care, she just stayed in the monastery.
No one would criticize her as a candidate for the Holy Throne and completely ineffective.
I want to take over the status of the priest of the Holy Throne from the alternate in peace.
Turning a blind eye to today's events is undoubtedly the best choice for her.
However, Marda did not make such a choice.
Naturally, there is a tangle in her heart.
However, she was raised by the church since she was a child, and the girl still couldn't make the choice of 'staying right'. Even if the action may fail later, and then be squeezed out of the alternate position in other parishes.
But she chose it anyway.
At this moment, Marda knew Ronald beside him.
According to the elders of the Church, although he was not yet twenty years old, he was a very powerful holder of the canon, and even the Pope decided to open the monastery collection to him to show the attitude of the Church.
When inspecting the ruins of the bell tower just now, Marda also saw the crushing strength displayed by the other party.
If it's such a powerful caster......
It's okay to reclaim the saint's legacy with yourself, right?
"What's wrong?" Just as Marda jumped out of the carriage and then wandered slightly on the side of the road, Ronald noticed the nun's stunned look.
"It's nothing, I'm just worried about the battle afterward." Marda didn't want to show her concerns, so she went straight to the past.
"Is that so......" Ronald nodded noncommittally.
The power of 'rage' maintained in his hands was scouting the emotional activities of the surrounding crowd, and as a companion who acted together today, he was naturally observing the state of the nun.
I saw that the other party obviously wanted to stabilize his mentality.
Ronald can only make such an attitude.
The two are silent, and Marda takes Ronald with a clear goal and begins to search for their target.
In the process, their route does not point directly to the target.
Marda stood on the side of the street and hesitated for a few seconds, then followed the direction of the road directly to the side of the head of the Bruch Bridge, and then walked over the railing with Ronald to the bottom of the embankment.
Remembering what the nun had said earlier, Ronald asked:
"Marda, I remember saying that I could determine the location of the saint's relics?"
Believing a pool of stagnant water on the steps beneath her feet, Marda immediately replied:
"It's possible to determine the location, but it's only an approximation. If you want a more accurate result, you can only judge by looking for the opponent's previous movement trajectory. ”
The two continued as they exchanged words.
Stepping on the steps at the edge of the Bruk Bridge to a position close to the surface of the Vis River, Marda stopped herself.
In front of the two of them was a drain in the city's sewers.
Although there are roads on both sides of the sewer that are higher than the water surface for the convenience of workers, the pitch-black space and the unpleasant smell make it very uncomfortable.
And in the face of such a situation, Ronald also experienced the inconvenience caused by the strengthened body.
You must know that the enhancement of the "Divine Comedy" is all-round.
In addition to the most basic physical qualities, Ronald has also made significant improvements in things like his senses and reaction speed.
Thus in the face of rancid sewage from the sewer.
The smell he smelled was far more unbearable than the average person faced.
If you want to fight someone with Spencer's voice type next time, shouldn't you prepare a pair of earplugs in advance?
Thinking about these things in his heart, Ronald's movements in reality did not slow down.
Seeing the nun on the side with a sad face, he took the first step into the darkness of the sewer:
"I'll go ahead, do you need lighting here?"
"Please wait a minute." The nun nodded immediately.
With one hand swiping from the shoulder pocket of her clothes, Marda pulled out a cylinder the size of a glow stick. As soon as a barely imperceptible amount of magic was infused into it, the cylinder began to glow in her hand.
Although it doesn't have the kind of brightness that ordinary light sources bring.
But there is nothing wrong with helping the two of them navigate the sewers.
Bang Bang –
In the dark sewers, Ronald and Marda swayed through the complex terrain of the sewers, stepping on the occasional piece of sewage.
On the one hand, there was the uneasiness in the depths of the nun's eyes.
On the other hand, there is Ronald's confusion.
He had been able to detect the power of rage, but after exploring the depths of the sewers, he found no signs of enemy activity.
Except for a few ordinary homeless people, or desperate guys who are hiding here, there is no enemy nearby that fits the mentality of 'taking away the saint's legacy'.
Ronald didn't doubt the abilities of the nun next to him.
But looking at the current situation.
The enemy's action was to carry the sword of Santa Caterina all the way from the church district to the riverbank district. Then they didn't try to get out of the city in the first place, but instead made a misleading move in the sewers.
The enemy expected someone to come after him.
And then deliberately do some behaviors that have the function of procrastination and confusion?
"Mr. Ronald, stop." At that moment, Marda, who was behind Ronald, stopped him.
Turning around, the nun was pointing at the top of their heads with a serious expression.
At the top of this position, there is exactly a ladder and a sewer manhole cover leading to the opposite side.
“……”
Ronald immediately understood what Marda meant.
"They went up?"
"It's not just going up." However, the nun shook her head, lowered her voice and said in a serious tone, "The saint's relics are on it. ”
"Distance Error...... Definitely not more than a hundred meters! ”
