Hereford.

This small town is located in the southern corner of the empire. While it is far away from the front lines and battlefields, it also has a very pleasant climate. The unclear four seasons always make people forget the passage of time. Wind and snow cannot invade here at all, but if there is rain, it will quietly

When rain falls, the temperature here will be quietly taken away with the rain.

The drop in temperature caused Sevi to sneeze a little, causing her to wake up suddenly on the bed. She rubbed her eyes and pulled back the quilt that had been cold since she had kicked it off in the middle of the night, intending to sleep a little longer.

.

However, the alarm clock on the bedside rang at an inappropriate time, "ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding."

The sky was still dark, and Sevi's eyes finally focused again. She was stunned for two seconds before she remembered that this was not the two-bedroom apartment she was familiar with, but a single dormitory provided by the church.

After tidying up her appearance a little, Sevi finally overcame the shyness caused by the cold. She put on her cold slippers and breathed a sigh of relief. She opened the dormitory door, said good morning to the church brothers and sisters who were getting up one after another, and went to the bathroom to tidy up.

After finishing her appearance and putting on the white church robe, she finally started her day's work.

It was a job that made her feel a little uninterested.

The door of the dormitory building slowly opened, and Sevi and her brothers and sisters walked out one after another. The dormitory building is located in the courtyard of the largest church in Hereford. A statue of the Moonlight Sword made of white plaster stands in the center of the courtyard. There is a crowd of people getting up.

Separated by the sword's edge, they were each assigned to their different positions.

Sevi is still relatively junior and has been in the church for less than a year. Although Asli, the church leader in Hereford, values ​​her, she still needs to start from the grassroots level.

For example, open the church door.

Rainwater flowed on the blue stone floor of the church, making it slippery. Sevi pursed her lips, and with every step she took towards the door, her feet seemed to sink deeper into the ground. It was almost dawn, and she and

The treasure-colored robes worn by the brothers and sisters are more like bright pieces, which can illuminate the surrounding moonlight.

But the atmosphere over the door seemed to be able to swallow up all the light, and was so dark that in Sevi's heart it was like a huge monster. It was hungry and was still making "crunching" teeth grinding sounds and hungry "gurgling" sounds.

When the guard saw the team headed by Sevi coming, he marched out according to the established regulations. He manipulated the levers in the guard room and nodded to Sevi and the others.

Sevi took a deep breath, and next, the door would open, like a huge monster opening its huge mouth, revealing its esophagus that goes straight to the stomach.

The rain was still falling, and the clear rainwater streaked across the bluestone, flowed over Sevi's toes, and flowed out the door. Sevi was still taking a deep breath and closed her eyes again.

Then, the "grinding" and "gurgling" sounds disappeared.

The clear rainwater flowed out and collided with the mud outside the gate. It was blocked by countless things in the mud and meandered. Sevi reluctantly raised her head, and what she saw was countless feet standing in the mud. The rainwater flowed through

Not only are these feet unable to take away the mud on them, but they actually make the owners of these feet look even more embarrassed.

Finally, Sevi finally looked directly at the bloodshot eyes of these people outside the door because they had stood all night. In comparison, Sevi had only been up for two-quarters of an hour.

The noise of the monster before was the result of them standing outside the door and whispering all night long, and this whispering suddenly stopped the moment the church door opened. The bloodshot eyes all looked at Sevi, as if expecting some answer.

, but seemed to hope that the little girl who opened the door of the church would not say anything.

Of course, Sevi cannot choose to be silent. Being able to give the world peace and tranquility with just a smile is probably the authority that only the Mother Goddess has. Sevi can only try her best to squeeze out a smile, grab her left wrist with her right hand, put it in front of her lower abdomen, and then bow

Body: "Dear believers, the prayer bell is about to ring today, please..."

Her voice seemed to be a signal.

The crowd outside the church suddenly began to surge, with bursts of pace, kicking back all the mud mixed with clear rainwater flowing out from the door. They drowned Sevi, and together with them, there were bursts of their words:

"Little monk, little monk, please tell me if the man in my family who was recruited by the governor to do work can come back safely..."

"My mother is sick with dust disease. The hospital said she has no time. I want to pray to the Mother Goddess..."

"Little monk, why do we get dizzy when we look at the sky? We didn't feel dizzy before, but I still have to work..."

Sevi nodded again and again: "Don't worry, I will definitely do it."

Nodding: "The Mother Goddess will definitely bless your mother."

Nodding: "Maybe you are a little weak. There will be a free clinic after the church. You can go..."

"fraud!"

A sudden voice almost shattered the gentle smile on Sevi's face. The crowd backed away, isolating the person who had just made the voice. Sevi turned back, still smiling, but the owner of the voice had messy hair.

The raindrops turned into muddy water on his body, flowing down like a stream.

The man suddenly threw one of his shoes and threw it in front of Sevi. The mud was like stars: "Ahem, my father died while working under the governor! My mother did too! Now I also have pneumoconiosis, but

Until now, I have never been scheduled for any free clinic in the church! My family used to donate money to the church every month, but now I can’t even see a doctor..."

Suddenly, two people jumped out from the crowd, one on the left and one on the right, and lifted the man up. The man struggled, moved around, and seemed to want to yell something, but the man who held him up had quick eyes and quick hands, and thrust into his mouth.

Stuffed with something like a strip of cloth, the three of them drifted away, and the crowd rushing to the church suddenly became much silent.

Sevi looked up and saw that the sun had fully risen. The giant thing was swimming behind the sky. She looked at the sky for a long time.

What hangs in the sky is definitely not what the church scriptures say it is.

In addition to the black households, even ordinary residents were conscripted outside the city to excavate ruins.

The disease is spreading.

There seems to be a war on the border.

The safety of Vitago is unknown.

People are dying.

What are you doing?

Suddenly, Sevi was inspired and quickly put on her smile again. She bowed to the crowd: "Fellow believers, the prayer bell is about to ring today. Please obey the order..."

"...The Mother Goddess will bless everyone."

…

Above the church.

Asli, a senior member of the church and Sevi's mentor, opened a page of the blinds and clearly saw what was going on below.

A church member reported behind Asli: "It was found out that the person who caused the trouble was not a gangster, but a resident recruited from the south of the city under the governor's order. He did not know how to get his identity certificate back, and then he sneaked outside the church door...

…”

Asli waved his hand: "No need to say any more, get out."

The man bowed and left.

Afterwards, Asli stood in front of the blinds for a long time, watching Sevi guiding the crowd downstairs. It was as if the turbid waves were flowing back, finally staining the little girl's white priest uniform with mud.

Finally, he lowered the window and took a deep breath: "Ridley, are you there?"

"Ridley?"

Asili's desk moved.

Then, the top investigators, Vita and Marilyn's boss Ridley, suddenly opened the tabletop of Asley's desk and walked out of the steam pipe connected inside: "Hey, I also want to

I'll scare you."

"No need," Asli looked at his old friend, shook his head, and asked seriously, "Has Governor Stephanie really left Hereford?"

"It's true," Ridley stepped out of the desk and sat directly on Asley's armchair: "Although the Governor's guard of honor has not set off yet, she has indeed left. The ones left in her office

It's just a puppet. I've confirmed it many times. Now we can talk to each other without worrying about being heard by the Governor."

After saying that, Ridley looked at his old friend in front of him and suddenly sneered: "However, I still suggest that you should wait two days before doing anything. If Stephanie wants to come back, she can come back at any time. It is best to wait for her

If you really fight against the elves, then..."

Asli smiled bitterly: "It's too late."

"Hey," Ridley stopped trying to persuade him after hearing this: "Forget it, what are you planning?"

Asli was silent and looked around the room again.

Then, he walked to the desk, took out something from his arms, and put it on the table.

What was placed in front of Ridley were two green fingers.

Ridley raised his eyebrows: "Huh? Bishop Amanda's remaining two fingers? I persuaded Vita to get one for Vita. Now, what are you doing with the remaining two fingers in front of me?

"

"Bishop Amanda is my teacher, please respect me," Asli sighed: "Really, Amanda is the most outstanding bishop in Hereford. She is the best spokesperson for the Mother Goddess. At the beginning, she was also waving

The queen of Moonlight Sword fell seriously ill and died."

Ridley snorted, with disdain on his face. Because what Asli said was nonsense that everyone knew.

However, Asli then supported the table with both hands, and his shadow completely covered and obscured the two fingers: "But, do you still remember why Bishop Amanda wielded the Moonlight Sword?"

Ridley shook his head disdainfully and opened his mouth.

But he was immediately stunned and speechless. He scratched his head, with a look of disbelief on his face: "Huh? This...is indeed..."

"Why am I just discovering it now? I really don't remember why she wielded this moonlight sword..."

…

Sevi is still guiding the crowd like a zombie.

Until a man as tall as a hill suddenly appeared in the crowd.

Her eyes suddenly focused, and she suddenly became a little brighter: "Huh? Is it Brother Andrew? What are you doing here?"

Andrew made an exaggerated "shh" gesture.

Then, Andrew squatted down and whispered: "Be careful, Sevi."
