Chapter 85 She is the Saint
Jim kept thinking about a question on the way back to the church.
That is, how should he complete the task assigned to him by Siris?
He actually knew the meaning behind this mission very well. The reason Siris allowed himself to spread panic in the church before finally destroying Ankh was to let this panic continue to ferment here over time.
If the entire church and Anka are as peaceful as before before the day when the plan is implemented, then when the doomsday comes, although most civilians will start to panic and may lose everything for a while, Jim feels that the church will not fall into This same situation.
At least with Bishop Calvin here, the first thing they think of when facing a crisis is definitely not to escape, but to fight to the end.
In fact, Jim admires Calvin very much, a person with strong beliefs. If it weren't for his different positions, he would really like to be friends with such a person.
But sometimes fate is like this. He was born unable to get along with these people on an equal footing. In the past, he either hated these superior people, or he had a rat-like inferiority complex because these people were not worthy of hatred.
Even if he could let go of the inferiority complex in his heart today and put himself in a position of the same class to face and examine Calvin, it would only be a borrowing mentality caused by being backed by a big shot like the Demon King.
In the final analysis, the real him has always been looking up to these people. Even if he became the royal magician that many people longed for, this feeling never disappeared.
Perhaps in essence, even if such a self has not betrayed mankind, he will never become Calvin's true friend in this life.
But not being friends didn't mean Jim didn't want to get to know him. Although he has not been in the church for a long time, Jim is very good at dealing with all kinds of people. When he gets along with everyone, he can more or less take the opportunity to find out what he wants to know.
Part of this is a matter of Alice, and part of it is a matter of the church as a whole and Bishop Calvin.
Many people's evaluation of Alice is not very clear, but it is undeniable that everyone has a very high evaluation of Calvin. This also made Jim difficult for a while, because if he couldn't make Calvin lose hope, it would be difficult for the church to fall into despair.
Unless...he kills the other party directly.
If the spiritual pillar collapses, the church may lose its greatest support. But the question is, do I really want to do this?
[This task is difficult, but if you are a qualified tool, the task is actually not difficult. ]
Thinking of this sentence in the letter, Jim was in trouble for a while.
————————
"Alice, you don't have to clean up now. Sir Sirius's maid wants to see you."
The nun who brought Liz to Mo La first patted Alice on the shoulder. Then he took the mop from the other person's hand and took it into his own. Finally, he turned to Liz, nodded and smiled, and left knowingly.
She didn't even listen to the conversation between Liz and Jim just now, and she had no reason to stay where she was after bringing the second person with her this time.
And Mo La here didn't ask anything to the leaving nun, because she was looking at the maid Liz in front of her with suspicion and a hint of vigilance.
Out of her vigilance habits during this period, Moura directly used insight magic to check Liz's physical condition.
She had secretly used this kind of magic on Sirius before, but because the opponent's strength was too far behind hers, the results of the investigation could not indicate the true situation.
Could a person whose strength was so terrifying that she couldn't spy on him be an ordinary 18-year-old human boy? If you really believe it, you'd be a fool.
But Mo La felt that the girl in front of her was an ordinary human girl. And both the appearance and the true age revealed by the bones confirmed that the other party was an ordinary beautiful girl among humans. Apart from her beauty, there was probably nothing else that could attract Sirius.
"Are you Miss Alice?"
When she heard the name Alice, Moura raised her eyebrows and said, "Yes, I am."
"I have a letter from my master here."
"You mean... ...Lord Siris?"
"Yes." Liz nodded, then handed the rest of the letter to her, "The master asked me to tell you that this is a new job for you." "
New Work?"
Nora frowned slightly, paused for a second before her fingers touched the envelope, and finally took the letter with hesitation and helplessness. Of course she was afraid that what was in the letter would make her do something bad to the church.
Of course, what she was most afraid of was that Sirius would target Bishop Calvin.
She was indeed willing to make some sacrifices in order to crush the devil's plan. Although she was not mentally prepared for this, the situation forced her to learn to give up.
She allowed a certain level of sacrifice, but she did not hope that the Demon King would let her personally kill Bishop Calvin, who had been "protecting" her, just to show his determination.
This is something she cannot accept now.
While she was thinking about this, Mo La found that the maid in front of her didn't seem to want to stay and continue talking, so she turned around and left. Thinking of something, she stepped forward and took Liz's arm.
"Miss maid, have you ever learned magic?"
"?"
Liz wanted to shake off Nora's hand, but when she heard these words from Nora's mouth, she suddenly froze.
"It seems I was right, right?"
A smile appeared on Mo La's lips, and there was a glimmer of hope in her eyes as she looked at Liz.
There should be no falsehood that the other party is a human being. There is no way in this world that a second terrifying existence like the Demon King will appear at the same time and be able to easily evade her insight magic.
"Do you know who I am?"
Moura, who knew Liz's race, began to secretly use some mental magic. The effect of these magics would not directly brainwash Liz, but would prevent the other party from interacting with her in the subsequent conversation. Lie to yourself.
She needed to give Liz some lucidity to learn something she didn't know before.
Of course, the premise of all this is that the conversation between the two of them must be absolutely safe, so Mo La thought of tearing apart space again and creating an extra-dimensional zone that only she could control and completely know.
"How do I know who you are...wait, what did you do? Where am I!"
Liz looked at the mutated environment around her in disbelief. She found that she seemed to have arrived in a place she had never seen before. In the weird scenes she had experienced, everything here gave her an untouchable feeling.
"Don't be afraid, Miss Maid."
Moura showed a very peaceful and holy smile, and then explained to Liz in her slow and powerful voice:
"Let me introduce myself, I am the saint of the Church of Light—— Mo La."
"Saint?"
Liz frowned. She didn't have much affection for this "saint". This may also be related to her experiences over the years.
The Church of Light did not respond to her when she prayed, and the only person willing to help her was Lord Siris.
"Yes." Mo La seemed a little surprised to see Liz. She just thought it was because the other party was marveling at her "true identity".
And just when Liz was amazed, Mo La said another words in her mouth that made her even more panicked.
"Lord Siris, he taught you dark magic, right?"
