The Golden Age: Colotia I

On the second day after seeing the list of casualties, Kolos and Olivier began to deal with political affairs as usual, starting with matters related to the Erebonian constitutionalists, and preparing to return to Liber.The two of them were as calm as ever, as if the momentary gaffe that day was just an illusion of Lloyd and others.

They seem to have lost the function of "crying", they are so "strong".

As strong as self-deception.

After someone left, someone came.

The green-haired young man stood in front of Ke Luosi's desk with a slightly frivolous smile: "Your Majesty."

"Mr. Vaji!" Ke Luosi stood up, "You are here!" This was the first person she saw from the Holy Province after the war started.

The Codex Kingdom of Artria was silent and did not make any comments on the war, but the priests and bishops of the Rites Province traveled among the countries to comfort the injured people.

The Ministry of Ceremony has always been responsible for passing on the teachings of Qiyao Church to the people. Kindness, gentleness, tolerance, and kindness are their purpose. Therefore, for those who have always been uncomfortable, they sometimes use dark means to recover ancient relics and suppress heresy Naturally, the Conferred Saint Province and its subordinate Star Grail Knights don't have a good face. Therefore, the Codex of Artria has always had irreconcilable contradictions between the two.

Waji Hermesfia, known as the "Sacred Code of Cang" in the Star Grail Knights, smiled and put one hand on his chest at this moment, and bowed to Kolos.

"Is there any problem in Codex?" Kolos asked Waji to sit down, "I haven't seen Mr. Kevin and Miss Liz, are they okay?"

A smile appeared on Waji's handsome face: "They are very good, please rest assured." The priest's cassock on his body looked a bit worn out, "To be honest, we really feel like we have become holy monks now."

Facing Ke Luosi's puzzled eyes, he explained: "Now, we have also become priests who spread the teachings of the goddess and comfort people's hearts. Those old men in the Ministry of Ceremonies have nothing to say."

"But I heard that Codex is also in great chaos...?"

"Ah, it's not a big deal." Waji waved his hand indifferently, "It's just that some guys provoked a long-standing conflict and broke out. It's nothing compared to the war on the mainland... To be honest, We were also originally asked not to get involved in national conflicts on the mainland."

"..." Ke Luosi was silent for a moment, then smiled slightly, "Yes, as a religious Qiyao Church, it is really inappropriate to express any opinions on the two sides of the war..." Since ancient times, state power and religious power have been in an inseparable relationship. There is also a delicate and antagonistic relationship. Her grandmother once taught her that the church should play a supporting role for the country, and they should not be allowed to override the country and the people.

Therefore, she understands Qiyao Church's decision very well.

"However, although we are not allowed to participate in national disputes, as members of Qiyao Church, it is our responsibility to comfort the people and heal the wounds." Waji always wore a frivolous smile on his face, and put on a sacred With a solemn look, this made him holy.

"In the name of individuals, we shoulder the responsibility and obligation to appease the hearts of the people."

For some reason, Waji's words caused a huge shock in Koloss's heart, and her lost confidence was instantly filled.Yes, everyone was fighting for the end of this war and for a better future, why should she not believe in her impending victory?

This is not her victory alone, but the victory of the entire continent of Semuria, a victory of fairness and justice.

Yes, at this moment, she felt that she would not lose to anyone.

"That's why I'm here." Vaji looked at the airship parked outside the window, "I'm going to Remifilia next, I don't know how to get there safely without Merkava," he said With a smile, "Hot-blooded guy."

"I'm sorry...it's all for us." Ke Luosi lowered her head, "It's really rude to delay your matter..."

"No, no, you misunderstood, Your Majesty." Vaji stood up, "Of course I came for the Merkava, but I have to do something for you and the Prince of Erebonia."

Kolos had a premonition of what he was going to say and do, and she shouted in her heart: Don't remind me of those things again!Don't... don't make me suffer that pain again!

But she herself just stood there, closed her eyes, and a teardrop slipped from the corner of her eye.

Waji came to give the funeral for departed friends.

Lloyd's letter made it clear that they were very worried about the mental state of Olivier and Kolos, who were too "normal" to be normal.

The reality is that they haven't accepted reality, and Lloyd believes that it's imperative to get them to.

So Vaji came.

He was wearing a priest's cassock, holding a holy book in his hand, with a serious and solemn expression, facing the polished medals of Yulia and Mulla.

Kolos wore a long black dress and a black wide-brimmed hat with a layer of black gauze covering her face, Olivier wore a black suit, and the others also put on dark clothes.

Waji's soft voice sounded, as if he was afraid of disturbing the undead. His tone was like clear water, clean and cold.

"You originally came from the dust, and you will return to the dust in the end. O lost lamb, may the merciful goddess bless you."

"She revives your soul, even if you walk through the valley of the shadow of death, you will not be afraid of harm, because the goddess is with you."

"May you dwell in the Temple of the Goddess, where there is eternity, light, and joy, forever and ever."

"May she forgive you as you forgive others. Rest in peace, our brother and our sister."

His voice gradually dropped to a whisper, and his downcast eyes seemed to contain all the suffering.

Then he raised his head, his face was pale and his expression was serene, but there was a strange look in his eyes, which made everyone feel awed.

He walked past Kolos and Olivier, and whispered to the dumbfounded two people: "You know, there is not only one way to look at the dead, don't think that they have left you forever. If you carefully Observe, and you will find that in the Empyrean there are the lights of the lives of your departed loved ones, and the Goddess is with them."

The author has something to say: In other words, I always feel that although Kevin and Waji seem a bit cynical, since they are both members of Qiyao Church, there must be a corner of their hearts that is compassionate and gentle~

ps: The prayers in this chapter are taken from the prayers of Catholicism and Christianity. Waji partly refers to some of Bishop Mirière in "Les Miserables"~
