And Maria doesn't look like a noble lady at all.
In addition to studying in school, other girls' spare time activities are either flower arranging or painting, or learning how to be a better new-era woman. When it is this girl's turn, she wears goggles and gloves and goes to the lathe to hammer whenever she has time. , or use a welding gun to make things.
She doesn't know about modern Originium industrialization. Are there professional factories responsible for this?
Thinking back, Zofia rarely interfered directly with the girl's choices. She didn't want to force Maria to do something she didn't like, and she didn't even make sword skills mandatory.
"Who did you see?"
Maria made an exaggerated expression: "The president of the United Chamber of Commerce of the Great Knights and the president of the Knights Association came in a hurry. Maybe something happened. Aunt, do you know what happened?"
Zofia's expression froze, and she couldn't help but think of the man wearing a black mask before. He warned her to go home and hide. Wasn't it to intimidate her?
"I don't know, Maria, let's stay here today, I'll accompany you."
For a moment, Zofia was confused.
The space inside the cathedral is large enough and spacious, so it is easy to find a place to rest.
Although the Linguang family was in decline, it was still respected by the knights. Not long after, a priest with a halo stood in front of them.
"Hello, Father Vasily, are we staying here without bothering to go to the church?"
Father Vasily is a middle-aged man about forty years old, with gray temples, tall body and broad shoulders. He looks like a wall when standing in front of people.
The priest's voice was soft: "Everyone is welcome here. I have a few words to say to Miss Maria."
The Kuranta girl was surprised: "Father, did I do something wrong?"
"Of course not, my boy, you did well."
Vasily folded his generous palms and looked without any distractions. He asked softly: "Miss Maria, can you use that kind of power like your sister? Light, the purest light."
"No, I may not be recognized by my ancestors, I cannot use light, and my Source Stone skills are very weak."
The girl was a little frustrated.
The priest gently patted Maria on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. Even if there is no light, you are the ancestor's favorite child."
Zofia quickly asked: "Father Vasily, what happened?"
"Ms. Zofia, if you don't believe it, our great knight had an accident. There were some uninvited guests. We are trying to find a way to ask them to leave. Well, please stay here, at least here is It’s safe, I promise.”
There is something magical about the words spoken by Sarcota of Lateran that make people want to believe them.
Father Vasily's eyes turned to the bench in the vestibule of the church. The angel with long dark blue hair was motionless and showed no reaction.
…
Jingle Bell.
There was a ringing of bells, Zhou Jinru braked suddenly, parked his bicycle at the door of Lateran Church, and hurried towards the door. Before he reached the door, the church door opened automatically, as if to welcome his arrival.
The air flow blew up the hem of the long black windbreaker. Zhou Jinru stood at the door and glanced inside. The figure of the fallen angel caught his eye.
Why is Mostema here?
"Please come in."
The priest in black robes held a thick scripture in his hands.
Are there really such strong angels?
If it weren't for the halo of light above his head, Zhou Jinru would have thought he was an Ursus.
Zhou Jinru asked: "Do you know who I am?"
"Mr. Dean told me, he said you will definitely come."
Bai Jin followed him through the door, and the girl raised her head. On the observation deck above the church, a line of sight fell on her.
"A senior leader in green gold, a senior leader in black iron, the chief of the Knights Association, and the president of the Business Federation. We can start taking action at any time."
The priest paused for a few seconds when he said this, his eyes always falling on Zhou Jinru: "But we can't tell which guests need to be invited out. Originally, the best candidate was the Glory Knight Margaret, but unfortunately she was far away from Casimir. It is impossible to recall her now."
Zhou Jinru shook his head: "I can mark them in the simplest way, but the problem is that they will cause terrible casualties."
"Mr. Fourth, do you know the heroic story a hundred years ago? The people of this land put aside hatred and estrangement, united, mounted war horses, picked up swords and guns, fought against those foreign evil spirits, and finally expelled the evil spirits, even if bloodshed, even if Sacrifice, something always has to be done and we can’t compromise.”
"Maybe you're right..."
The church bell struck four o'clock in the afternoon, interrupting him.
The things that could be seen in the eyes quickly dimmed, and the earth fell into darkness, which was so rich that it could not be dissolved.
"Far date?!"
Zhou Jinru was shocked. He had experienced distant dates countless times. There were only three or four times that really made his heart palpitate, but this time...
He felt someone stand up and walk not far behind him.
"Mostema?"
"I am here."
The fallen angel whispered.
What is she doing here?
A pair of arms hugged him from behind, and the girl's warm forehead was pressed against the back of his neck. Her gentle breath blew the tiny down hairs, making his heart itch.
"This time, I'm your anchor. Just change. No matter what happens, I'm here. I've got your hand."
Zhou Jinru said nothing.
After a long time, in the darkness, he laughed: "In a hundred years, I rarely use this kind of power."
"I know."
"Mostema, I would do this even if you weren't here."
The fallen angel hugged him tighter and said nothing.
In the deep darkness, the light of the electric light is weak, and the illumination range is compressed to the extreme. No one knows what will happen next.
Maria hugged her aunt tightly, trying to find some sense of security.
A long, long time ago, she was hiding behind her sister like this, the shining knight who could radiate light like the sun.
After Margaret was expelled, Maria also tried to activate the light, but failed every time. She seemed to be a descendant who was not loved by her ancestors.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Zofia was also scared, but she knew better than to show fear in front of her niece.
It would be nice if my sister was here.
Maria thought to herself.
As if something was calling her, the girl raised her head and saw a ray of light emanating from the church, warm, bright, and reassuring, just like the sun.
"what is that?"
This light flew out of the church and into the sky, flying higher and brighter.
Like a small sun, it lit up the sky above the great knight's collar.
The girl stared at the light blankly, even if her eyes were stimulated to tears, she wanted to keep looking at it.
Is that the light of the ancestors?
