Lor felt like he was in a black river, drifting with the water.

There were constant tiny sounds in my ears, like some kind of whispers, and the river water flowed through my body, bringing a cold touch.

The strange thing is that even though my body is submerged in water, I don’t feel suffocated. Is this the feeling of a fish swimming in water?

Something seemed to grab my ankles and pull me downwards. I wanted to open my eyes, but my eyelids were so heavy that there was only a gray darkness in front of me.

In a trance, Lor heard a clanging sound, like a heavy iron object falling to the ground. He was floating in the river, why was there the sound of iron?

In the dimness, Lor seemed to see a picture like this:

A huge skeleton hand was holding an iron scale, and the skeleton itself was lying on one end.

At the other end, a light feather landed on it.

The balance of the scale was broken, and Lor felt his body becoming very light, as if he was floating up and up, and his consciousness finally returned to his body.

Lor felt a splitting headache, as if he had a hangover in college in his previous life. His body was extremely stiff, as if he had not moved for a long time. He stretched it with difficulty and could hear his joints crackling.

Luo Er opened his eyes painfully, looked around, and once again, woke up in a strange bed...

Where is this place?

What came into view was a small room that was so plain and even monotonous, with not a single decoration on the white walls and ceiling.

The only light came from the faint glow of the kerosene lamp on the bedside table. Lor was lying on the wooden bed by the window, simply covered with a blanket, from which he could smell the faint scent of irises.

Lor checked his body briefly. The wound on his right hand had stopped bleeding, but a hideous scar remained and it still hurt if he touched it lightly.

The white dress and skirt on his body reminded him of what happened before he fell into a coma:

I used my blood to awaken the Grand Duke, causing her to fight with Ilandani. Did I escape successfully with the help of Miss Yasha?

"Miss Yasha, Miss Yasha, are you still there?"

Lor tried to call Miss Yasha in his heart, but his heart was dead silent and no sound came out.

Lor's heart ached, and after trying several times without any response, he gave up.

"Miss Yasha should still be here..." Lor lifted the blanket, got out of bed, and looked carefully at the shadow under him.

The shadow is thin, but if you look closely you can see a layer of light black mist floating above it.

"Did he fall into a deep sleep?"

Lor guessed that there was a pair of finely crafted wooden shoes beside the bed. Lor put on the shoes and held on to the edge of the bed to stand up.

"My clothes haven't been changed. I shouldn't have been unconscious for too long. Have I left the Thorn Territory?"

Lor looked at the bronze mirror on the bedside table, in which his delicate and handsome face was reflected.

The weakness as if he had just recovered from a serious illness did not diminish his beauty in the slightest, but instead added a kind of fragility and delicacy to his appearance.

The clothes he was wearing were still the dress and skirt that Ilandani had put on him herself. It seemed that no one had touched him during the time he was unconscious.

But where was he? Luo Er hesitated, and at this moment, accompanied by the sound of a door opening, a figure pushed open the door and walked into his room.

Lor quickly turned around and looked at the person who came with caution.

The visitor was wearing a traditional black nun's robe. The overly long robe covered her entire body tightly, not even revealing her feet.

There was a thin veil on her face, through which you could vaguely see her beautiful features. The most attractive thing was her aquamarine eyes, which even the thin veil could not hide the charm revealed in them.

A nun?

Lore breathed a sigh of relief, at least it wasn't the worst case scenario.

In the worst case scenario, the person who comes in at this time is either Irandani or her mother.

The nun saw Lor standing by the bed and seemed a little surprised that he had recovered well, so she spoke softly.

"Goddess's protection, little sister, you are finally awake."

Lor was still wearing women's clothes at this time, and with his delicate appearance, it was not surprising that the other party mistook him for a girl.

Lor did not defend himself. This world was not very friendly to men. He wanted to figure out the situation first.

"Sir, did you save me?"

"It was Vice Dean Wei Ya who found you, little sister. She said you were lying by the river and were washed ashore by the current."

The nun explained softly to Lor, "At first she thought you had returned to the goddess's embrace, but later she found that you were still breathing and took you back to the monastery."

"Monastery..." Lor couldn't think of any famous monastery in the Thorn Territory, so he asked.

"What monastery is this?"

"This is the Monastery of St. Liana," the nun made a prayer gesture devoutly.

"Saint Lianna? Isn't this in the Thorn Territory?" Lor was stunned. Saint Lianna is one of the twelve saints of the Only Goddess Church.

The Goddess Church preaches the only supreme goddess. They firmly believe that the only goddess created the world. She is the mother of all things and the master of life. All living things in the world are her children and will eventually return to her arms.

As the child of the goddess, the more similar they are to the goddess, the stronger they will be. The reason why women are stronger than men is because women are physically closer to the goddess than men.

Even though Lor was not a religious person, he had learned about some of the doctrines of this church, because it was the only orthodox religion recognized by the Principality of Thorns, and it could be said to be the undisputed number one religion in the Rose Continent.

Its missionary scope covers most of the Rose Continent.

Aside from the vampire's Eternal Night Empire and the legendary Dragon Island floating in the air, missionaries of the Goddess Church can be seen anywhere in the Rose Continent.

But as far as Lor knew, there was no monastic order of the Goddess Church in the Thorn Territory where Grand Duke Thornsin was located.

"This is not the Thorn Territory. We are in the suburbs of the Holy City of Hyperion."

The nun was quite patient. Her sea-blue eyes hidden behind her veil stared at Lor's beautiful face, and she inadvertently uttered an exclamation of admiration.

"Little sister, you have a body blessed by the goddess."

"Thank you very much," Lor replied a little shyly.

"Thank you so much for saving me. I wonder if I can go meet Vice Dean Wei Ya? I want to express my gratitude in person."

"The deputy abbess should be leading the nuns in studying scriptures now," the nun smiled slightly, but then she glanced at the bloodstain on the palm of Lor's right hand, walked closer and raised her hand to grab Lor's right hand.

Not understanding why, Lor let the nun hold his right hand. He saw her stretch out her slender white fingers and gently stroke the scar on his palm.

A slight tingling sensation came from the palm of his hand, but then it turned into a warm current. Lor widened his eyes and saw that the originally hideous scar was gradually healing and fading until it finally disappeared.

The palms became white, tender, smooth and flawless again.

The nun gently stroked Lor's little hand.

"You must take good care of this body given by God."

"It's so amazing!" Lor murmured to himself.

Coach, I want to learn this! Lor was still in shock, staring at his palms, not noticing the burning greed in the other person's sapphire eyes under the veil.

"After all, in the end, we all have to return to the arms of the goddess..."
