Get ahead of the fallen heroine and make the minotaur the victim

As soon as she returned to the Water City, she couldn't wait to rush back to the Water City Cathedral.

And when she saw Sister Belinda, who was fulfilling her duties as a nun to help believers as usual.

She didn't forget the etiquette. Although she was in a hurry, she still waited for the other party to be free before she approached.

"Sister Belinda, is Sister Hilda okay? Which room is she in now?"

Although she tried her best to keep herself calm, Clothier's beautiful face still showed some worry.

As long as the matter was not related to Noah and Yin/Wen, she would always behave very competently as a nun.

This was the reaction of a serious nun who was also a nun and worried about her companions.

"...Sister Hilda is fine, Clothier, she has been picked up by the people sent by the Holy City earlier."

Looking at such a reliable and serious junior, Belinda showed a warm smile full of love that was no different from usual.

Even if it was not the case at all.

This was just what Horace, the bishop, asked her to say.

But Belinda was used to this level of glare.

...Although she was used to it, she still felt a little guilty for some reason.

Maybe Clothier's eyes were purer than any of them, because she was really worried about Hilda's physical condition.

"Took her away...? This is a bit unexpected..."

Clothier was a little surprised to hear that Hilda, who had turned into a slut, was taken away by someone sent by the Holy City.

She didn't doubt that the headquarters would interfere in this matter, but she didn't expect it to come so soon.

She returned to Shuidu from a nearby city overnight and stayed overnight. Will she be sent back to the Holy City for investigation early this morning?

Although it's not impossible, isn't it a little too urgent?

"Haha, don't worry, my child, Sister Hilda is fine, I can guarantee this."

Just when Clothier was a little surprised.

Horace, who had long seen the opportunity, also laughed strangely and came over to join the conversation.

"Good morning, Bishop Horace. Thanks to you and the goddess, Father Noah and I can return safely."

Seeing Horace, who has a higher rank than him, coming, Clothier immediately greeted him very formally.

Not only was the words formal, but the slight bow was also formal.

And he also took Noah, who was standing beside him, with him.

This forced Noah, who originally had no intention of greeting, to speak up:

"Yes, although I encountered strange things, I am back safely."

Although he spoke, Noah's tone was very casual.

It was simply the opposite of Clothier.

Clothier once worried that Noah would be too rude and annoying to treat people with a higher rank than him so casually.

"I'm glad you're back safely. Although it's a pity about Sister Hilda, there's still a way out. Anyway, you two should just continue to act as usual. I'll tell you if there's any progress."

But she could see it from Horace's attitude.

Horace didn't seem to care that Noah, who was just a priest, was so casual with him, and he still spoke to Noah with a loving smile.

——As expected of His Excellency Bishop Horace, this tolerance and kindness is really admirable. I really hope that a certain evil god disguised as a priest of a hostile god can learn a little bit from him.

Seeing this situation, the nun respected Horace, who was simply a role model for all clergy, even more in her heart, and silently glanced at Noah with an ambiguous look.

She didn't say it directly, but the look that asked Noah to learn from her.

Of course, Noah also noticed it.

But of course, Noah just smiled indifferently.

Horace, this old man, is proud of his identity as a bishop.

If the priest dared to talk to him like this, even if he didn't get angry on the surface, he would definitely find a way to make things difficult for the priest who spoke rudely to him.

Noah was not disliked by him purely because of his ability of "cognitive change".

As for the purpose, of course, it was to make Clothier respect Hollers more through him as a control group.

Noah knew that the two people in front of him were working together to deceive Clothier who trusted the church, but he chose to remain silent.

In this sense, he was also guilty.

Of course, he did not deny that he was a villain.

Anyway, he did not want the nun to like him.

After that, Noah said goodbye to the three people without saying a few words and left first.

Because he still had to see how far the hypnosis props of researcher Dean had progressed.

When Noah left.

"Father Noah is still busy every day as usual."

Looking at the slightly free and easy back, Belinda couldn't help but sigh.

"Haha, as a priest with a special mission, it is normal for him to be busy. I believe that the goddess has seen all his efforts and struggles and has blessed him."

Horace also nodded and responded to Belinda with a loving and satisfied smile.

But of course, this was just a casual politeness, just to maintain a bright and majestic image in the hearts of Clotil and other believers who were watching this side.

His true opinion of Noah is that he is a very busy, trustworthy but not a big deal, but after all, he is just a mere priest.

Hearing what he said, Belinda also withdrew her gaze and looked at Horace's side face.

This old guy is pretending here again. He obviously doesn't believe in God at all, but he keeps talking about gods.

Unlike Horace who does not believe in the existence of gods at all.

Belinda still believes that God exists, but she thinks that God does not care about human beings.

The evidence is that she and Horace were indulging in lust and did not see the punishment from the gods.

So although she is also a heretic in the church, she actually belongs to a different heretic than Horace.

She helped lie this time just because she had no other choice, otherwise she would really not want to deal with Horace.

Alas, she is just a nun, and the other party is a bishop.

——Huh, if you know you are just a nun, just be obedient and don't expose it to me, do you understand?

Horace, who noticed Belinda's gaze, also withdrew his gaze to Noah, and instead looked down at Belinda beside him with eyes full of pride.

——I know, but don’t blame me if you are exposed yourself?

Belinda also responded with a slightly helpless and theatrical expression.

"You two have a really high opinion of Father Noah, His Excellency Bishop Horace, and Sister Belinda."

When the nun who didn't know the truth heard what the two said, she couldn't help but be the last to look away from Noah's back and join the conversation discussing Noah.

"Haha, after all, Father Noah is quite popular with women~ Right, His Excellency Bishop Horace~"

"Young people are so young, hohohoho."

Horace and Belinda, who were making secret eye contact, quickly stopped their little moves and began to praise Noah in unison.

——No, no, no, that person is probably the evil god, right? You two are really easily deceived~

Obviously she is the best person to deceive, but the nun is smiling happily at this time.

Even if it was not her but Noah who was praised, she couldn't help but feel very happy?

PS. Today’s first update

259. The brainwashing device...oh, no, it's the Saint's Armed Forces

at the same time.

In an underground research institute affiliated to the church, researchers headed by Dean were shouting with excitement because of the great success of their research.

Most of the magic props on the market are made by alchemists and magicians. They are generally used to facilitate life and to attack monsters to protect one's own safety.

But the research direction of the researchers at the Relics Research Institute affiliated to the church is not that.

Their goal is to thoroughly study the ancient relics with strange powers and create powerful equipment in the modern era that surpasses the ancient relics.

It is the ultimate equipment named ‘Holy Artifact’.

But even ancient relics are divided into high and low, strong and weak, and it has been studied for more than ten years since the establishment of the institute.

None of them dare to say that they have thoroughly studied the ancient relics. They can only say that some of the principles of the ancient relics have been thoroughly studied.

The research projects of each institute are also different.

Among them, researcher Dean is responsible for the project "Brainwashing Device".

No, the official name should be called the Holy Artifact 'Saint Arms'.

The Saint's Arms is a head-mounted equipment that allows the wearer to maximize his combat capabilities.

As a price, the wearer's personality and consciousness will disappear.

But that doesn't matter, as long as someone else inputs commands for her.

If you don’t have a brain, wouldn’t it be better to have an external one?

Even an ordinary nun who only knows a little bit of Holy Light Magic can exert the strength of a first-class magician. This is the ultimate goal of these researchers.

Because it involves magic that interferes with the wearer's spirit, they must use a magical device that is also an ancient relic.

In order to test whether it could successfully interfere with personality, Dean previously lent the magic device to the first princess of a certain kingdom, and after a period of time, he successfully received news of the success of the experiment and gained a large amount of valuable experimental data.

After all, even the demon spirits, which are superior to humans in all aspects of combat, can interfere, so of course humans will have no problem.

As for Bishop Horace of the Water City, who requested not to improve his combat effectiveness, they easily made a device purely for hypnosis.

But because it is just pure hypnosis, it only controls people's consciousness.

Dean wasn't really interested.

Because that kind of thing can actually be accomplished with the magical device that is an ancient relic, but he just miniaturized it.

And even similar things are actually sold on the black market.

Although it had been made long ago, Dean was not in a hurry to give it to Horace.

It was not until the 'Saint Arms' was successfully produced that it was given to Horace as 'Party A'.

Use the money provided by Bishop Horace to complete your own projects.

This is where Dean is smart.

Now he is preparing to leave for Water City to deliver the small hypnotic device to Horace.

As for the saint's armor, I'll keep it with me for now, what if I need it?

The main reason is that Dean himself is also very interested in what would happen if the strongest nun in the church was equipped with saintly weapons.

I don’t know if I can reach the realm of ‘angels’.

Dean didn’t dare to say that he had reached the realm of ‘God’. He was satisfied even if he had reached the realm of ‘Angel as God’s servant’.

After all, he had to reach the realm of Angel before he could reach God and finally surpass God.

As for the fact that he had been doing research for more than 36 hours without sleep, he just slept on the way to Water City.

In order to prevent the precious research tools from being stolen while he was sleeping, Dean went to the church to apply for two church knights as bodyguards.

But Dean didn’t expect that the knights of the church were even more rigid than him. They actually planned to escort him to Water City in the official knight armor of the church.

Dean was surprised. Didn’t these knights have brains?

Wasn’t that telling others that the things he carried with him were very important?
