Chapter 435 The Salvation Nobody Knows

"Ugh..."

Lilia opened her eyes in a daze, and looked at the ceiling blankly.There seemed to be a mist in the beautiful silver-gray pupils, and it took several minutes for the pupils to focus slowly.

As her consciousness gradually returned to Lilia, she noticed something strange flickering around her.Some pure white light spots that looked like butterflies flickered and fluttered in the air, exuding bright and soft light.

Lilia curiously stretched out her slender white fingers, gently touched the spot of light flying in front of her like a little girl who was afraid of the butterfly flying away, and then pushed it away.

The soft and slightly tough touch, more like soap bubbles than cotton, immediately attracted Lilia's interest.

Slightly messy short light purple hair hung down from her shoulders, and the soft white robe tightly wrapped her petite body, and some of the sleeves were long enough to cover half of her palms.She supported her body with her left hand, leaned her upper body slightly forward, and flicked the pure white ball-like spots of light with her right hand in the air. shine.

But at this moment, a brighter but less dazzling light and a softer wind attracted her attention.

Lilia lowered her right hand and turned her head away.

Then, she saw a scene that she would never forget in her life——

Roland stood in front of the open window and prayed softly, a bright pure white light shone from his body.The wind poured past him, blowing his long silver-white hair and dancing wildly, and the hem of his thick black robe fluttered slowly like ripples.

And the knight that Roland aroused from the light stood behind Roland, standing like an armor decoration.

A gentle wind blows from Roland - with the warmth of the sun and the natural fragrance.

Lilia still clearly remembered what the wind smelled like last night.Rotten and foul, smelling of rotting wood, pickles, and rotting meat.

Just smelling it makes me sick to my stomach.It is absolutely impossible to have any nostalgia.It was a slippery alien air that could be described as ominous, reminiscent of intestinal walls and dense sarcomas.

However, now that the air has passed through Roland, it has become warmer than a soft and fluffy quilt after drying.It contains a natural fragrance that is similar to flowers but not greasy.Just looking at the soft light and smelling the warm and fragrant fragrance, a kind of tranquil beauty slowly flowed in Lilia's heart.

The corner of her mouth unconsciously formed a gentle arc.It seems that the whole world has become better.

This kind of power that can change matter and mind without releasing magic spells can be said to be a miracle if it is an exaggeration.

In fact, it is not bad to say that it is a miracle.

That is the power of the cleric realm, the embodiment of the essence of the gods in mortals.If the domain and the cornerstone of the priest's elements match, then it can be said that it is an existence favored by the heavens.

The power of [Purity] reverberated around Roland, and the remaining power was even wrapped in the air purified by him, remaining for a long time, and drifting to farther places with the wind.

Feeling that the weakness and exhaustion when she just woke up were quickly dispelled, and the divine power slowly and gently seeped into her body, Lilia felt that the whole world had become a better place.

Brother Roland, you've become stronger again...

Lilia couldn't help sighing.

During the three days she followed Roland, she could see Roland praying to her mentor every morning.At the same time, Lilia could vaguely feel that Roland's power was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye every day.

It doesn't mean that [attribute] or [divine grace] has been increased, but a feeling that a more vague and indescribable essence has been improved.

To put it bluntly, it's like a monkey learning to think.Just looking at the monkeys silently thinking about something, you can see something born in their eyes.

As a fortune teller, Lilia's inspiration is undoubtedly credible.From her personal point of view, it should be his [sanctity] that keeps growing in Roland.

Strange to say.Generally speaking, the sanctity of the voters and the pope should be born with it, but Lilia felt that the sanctity of Roland had been slowly improving.

A person who is enough to become the pope, even if he is placed in a dungeon, he can also become the godfather of the condemned prisoners.This is a halo-like charm that multiplies their own influence.

Lilia could clearly feel that Roland's words became more and more convincing, and his every move began to attract the attention of people around him, as if his body was shining with light, which was admirable.

"...then, all the glory goes to the teacher."

Roland's prayer ended soon. He turned his head and showed a gentle smile at Lilia.

"Are you awake, Lilia?"

"Ah... yes, brother Roland."

Lilia, who felt inexplicably embarrassed, turned red instantly.She lowered her head and coughed lightly, then raised her head and returned to normal.

Lilia showed some worried eyes: "Brother Roland...is it okay to open the windows? If the plague comes in...I don't mean us, I mean that old lady..."

"Don't worry, Lilia."

Roland's eyes flickered with a flat and gentle light: "There is no plague here anymore."

"Hey?"

Lilia was taken aback.

"Just before the sun rose, I dispelled all the plague here," Roland replied flatly under Lilia's incredible gaze, "from the air, buildings, nearby woods and patients. All of them were dispelled." alright."

"How... no, why before the sun comes up?"

Halfway through Lilia's speech, she suddenly realized the real problem.

Although it is the "Eternal Sleep" mentor, there is no description of [Dark Night] in the mentor's power.There is no difference in effect between casting a divine spell at night and casting it during the day.

From the point of view of preaching, releasing divine spells in the middle of the night is far less effective than during the day.Such a miracle would not be credible if no one saw it.It is impossible for the development of believers to get much help.

Although Lilia is not yet an official priest, and she doesn't know the specific effects of the mentor's divine arts, she at least knows that releasing a divine arts of this scale is definitely not an easy task.And from Roland's behavior, it can be seen that he definitely does not need believers, he also needs to preach.

So, why did Roland choose to get rid of the plague at night when he knew about it?

"Lilia, you have to know that people are fragile."

Roland seemed to know what Lilia wanted to say, and said softly: "Yes, if I let them know that I was the one who dispelled their plague, they would be very grateful to the mentor, so it is not impossible to transfer to the mentor .”

There seemed to be a twinkle in his eye.That kind of look gives people the illusion of piercing people's hearts.

"However, the plague is not limited to Ram. And what I have eliminated is the plague of 'now' Ram... In other words, sooner or later, this kind of plague will come back again."

"So what if they are grateful to their mentor? The life-saving grace is indeed unforgettable, but the premise is that they will not be infected with the plague again. I can guarantee that if they are infected with the plague again, after calling for help from the mentor is ineffective, they will Began to be full of hatred for the mentor. Because they finally had an outlet for their helplessness against natural disasters."

The corners of Roland's mouth rose slightly, as if showing contempt and repeated pity: "Compared to the plague that has nowhere to be blamed, we have made a big mistake if we can't cure them completely. They seem to think that, like life, if the doctor It is the same as the responsibility of the doctor if they are not cured...Although the doctor is only a free clinic and does not get any benefits from it, it is the same because he wants to help others out of interest. Because they have a target to hate...their fragile lives have There is no reason to live. They have a common enemy to curse together, and the lifeless town will be a little angry."

It was the look in the eyes of such a person.

Overwhelmed by the heaviness and malice in the words, Lilia was completely speechless.

After hesitating for a long time, she slowly asked, "Then... why did you save them?"

Facing Lilia's question, Roland was silent.

He seemed to be thinking for a while, and then he opened his mouth and answered slowly.

"They...are also a life after all."

As if speaking to himself, Roland emphasized softly: "There is a real...a life of flesh and blood."
