Chapter 432 The Mercy of the Goddess
Chapter 432 The Goddess's Mercy
Edward and Lucas had seen magic effects more powerful than Yi Tou Bao, but they had never seen magic as powerful as Yi Tou Bao that could be used by ordinary soldiers in their lives.
Edward and Lucas did not understand the process of the female soldiers operating the catapult, but they knew one thing, that is, the female soldiers were definitely not magicians.
If, in future battlefields, a team of three or four soldiers can be as effective as a magician who has studied hard for twenty years, then war will take on a completely different form.
“…Times have changed!”
Li often said this when he was in the royal capital, and everyone who came into contact with Li often got tired of hearing this.
But today, Edward repeated this sentence and was deeply aware of its weight.
The era of knights charging may be gone forever.
"Lord Edward, what do you think of the effect of the new weapon~"
"it is good!"
"How much do you want to buy?"
“…I’ll think about it when I get back!”
Edward didn't buy anything that day. He needed to go back and organize his thoughts and suppress the emotions surging in his heart.
Edward and Lucas silently returned to Windmill Bay and then quietly went back into the hotel.
When Edward opened the door, a pile of canned food filled the suite's living room.
On the doormat in front of the door, there was a greeting card addressed to Edward, which stated that the canned food in the room was a gift from Lian to him.
Edward, who was too lazy to go to the restaurant, immediately opened a can and silently shared it with Lucas.
The Northland canned food tasted as good as ever. After filling their stomachs, the two people’s negative emotions were relieved a lot.
Edward looked at Lucas seriously and offered suggestions in an unclely tone.
"Put aside your insignificant dignity. Our mission here is to prevent the kingdom from falling too far behind!"
Lucas nodded, his dignity crushed to pieces today.
With his pride shattered, Lucas was able to better recognize his own shortcomings.
"Uncle Edward, are we really going to agree to the deal they proposed?"
"Don't you want those new weapons?"
Of course Lucas wanted it, and now he would no longer dwell on the fact that he was against the North.
But there is a prerequisite for wanting to do so, and Lucas and Edward do not have much money.
"I got thirty gold coins from Norton before. I thought it was a lot, but it turns out that I can't even buy a few bombs..."
“…Maybe, we should also find a way to make more money.”
The proud Templar Knights never take money seriously, but when money is equated with combat power, making money is no longer a shameful thing.
"Lucas, let's go again tomorrow and try to get them to make more concessions. I'll give you a task. Learn how to operate the catapult!"
"As ordered!"
Edward and Lucas made a bunch of cans in the room. After talking about the arsenal, they remembered that there was someone else traveling with them.
"Where's the Saint! Look what we've done!"
The two grown men ate their fill but forgot about their female companion.
You have to know that the saint has never traveled far and is a good girl who doesn’t even know how to order food in a restaurant!
Without saying a word, Lucas rushed to the room opposite.
Lucas knocked on the door anxiously, attracting the attention of the cleaning staff in the corridor.
After a long while, the sleepy saint finally opened the door.
The saint was wearing a slightly transparent silk nightgown. Lucas just took a look and quickly bowed.
"Lady Saint, have you eaten yet?"
"Lucas, I've already eaten at the church, don't disturb my rest."
On the day the two went to the military camp, the saint also stayed in the church.
In the church, the saint silently watched Pastor Martin chewing his pen, and the attitudes of young clergymen such as Teresa towards their faith.
The saint discovered that the goddess and holy light were no longer worshipped in the churches in the north.
Here, the clergy simply use words and food to comfort those in distress.
The saint gradually discovered that the goddess and holy light might not be necessary.
The shaking of faith had a great impact on the saint, and she has been a little absent-minded for the past two days.
At night, in the Saint's suite, although it was not very cold, the Saint wrapped herself tightly in a quilt.
The saint fell asleep, her eyes moving back and forth under her eyelids. She was having a nightmare.
The saint in the dream returned to the night when she was attacked by the laborers.
A shabby tent, an uncovered wilderness, and several men who had transformed into wild beasts and pounced on him.
The saint shed a tear and muttered silently in her dream.
"I can't save anyone."
The saint realized that she was just a vase and didn't know what to do in the future.
She barely woke up from her dream and tried to find a sip of water to moisten her throat.
However, a ray of light stood out in the darkness.
The saint looked closely and saw a glowing female figure sitting on the sofa in the room.
The saint noticed that the glowing figure was smiling at her. She wanted to see her face, but found that the sacred face was obscured by the holy light, making it difficult for her to see clearly.
“…Are you the goddess?”
The glowing figure nodded and waved his hand, asking the Saint to kneel before him.
The projection of the goddess placed her glowing hands on the saint's head, and her gentle power dispelled the negative emotions from the saint.
"Daughter of faith, you should not doubt yourself. Everything that has been distorted and tampered with must return to its original state."
“…Goddess, I don’t understand what you are saying.”
"You don't understand. Just leave everything to me. God will decide everything. The only thing you need to do is pray to me."
The projection of the goddess, like a kind mother, gives the saint the care she needs most.
The goddess knew that the saint was confused. Since she couldn't tell what was right, the goddess would make the decision, and the saint only needed to wait for the result.
This is the goddess's most tender mercy.
Even if the saint's faith is shaken, her outlook on life will not let her doubt the goddess' words.
The saint accepted the blessing bestowed upon her by the goddess without any resistance.
The warm holy light permeated the saint's body, and her mind was immersed in devout prayer.
A power that did not belong to the saint took root in her body. Soon, the saint opened her eyes again, and everything in the room was reflected in her pupils.
"Is this a sofa? This is a coffee table... There is a pipe that automatically flows water, and there is also a porcelain basin specially for people to take a bath..."
A figure radiating holy light experienced all the facilities in the room.
Lying back on the soft big bed, the saint closed her eyes and felt the incomprehensible softness.
"It's so good to be a human being..."
The saint fell into a deep sleep with an incomprehensible sigh.
