Chapter 396: Martha Wants to Become a Holy Priest
Sitting in the taxi, Martha felt a little nervous.
As a nun with outstanding talents, she was sent to Sanlingyin Monastery when she was sixteen years old to be trained as a candidate for the next holy priest.
The Holy Priest is a very special position within the church. It has the same general rights as a bishop but has some privileges. However, only one person in the church can possess this position.
Generally, after the death of the previous priest, the church will confirm the next candidate within ten years.
Martha serves as a candidate for the priesthood trained by Springs.
As long as nothing happens, it is almost certain that she will become the new Holy Priest after she turns twenty-five.
However, there are still three years to go before the selection day.
Ever since he became a candidate for the priesthood, or to be more precise, ever since he left the orphanage and joined the church.
Martha faced the most difficult choice in her life.
——The legacy of the saint was taken away.
In the first year after entering the monastery, the old man in the monastery gave orders to Martha. As a candidate for the Holy Priesthood, she only needs to study the church knowledge and prepare for the future when she is twenty-five years old.
Other than that, there is no need to do anything extra.
Even if the Sword of Saint Caterina was taken away today, Martha actually didn't need to care about it, she just needed to stay in the monastery.
No one would criticize her harshly for being a candidate for the Holy Priesthood and having absolutely no fighting ability.
I want to safely take over the identity of the Holy Priest from the candidate.
Turning a blind eye to today's events was undoubtedly her best choice.
However, Martha did not make such a choice.
Naturally, she was conflicted.
However, after being raised by the church since she was young, the girl still cannot make the choice of 'keeping it right'. Even if the action may fail later, and then be squeezed out of the position by candidates from other dioceses.
But she still chose this way.
At this moment, Martha knew Ronald beside her.
According to the elders in the church, although he is less than twenty years old, he is a very powerful original holder. Even the Pope decided to open the monastery's collection of books to him to show the church's attitude.
When she was inspecting the ruins of the bell tower just now, Martha also saw the overwhelming strength displayed by the other party.
If he is such a powerful spell caster...
is there no problem in taking back the saint's legacy with him, right?
"What's wrong?" The moment Martha jumped out of the carriage and was slightly distracted on the side of the road, Ronald noticed the nun's confusion.
"It's nothing, I'm just worried about the battle ahead." Martha didn't want to show her worries, so she just brushed it off.
"Is that so..." Ronald nodded noncommittally.
The power of 'Rage' maintained in his hand was detecting the emotional activities of the people around him. As a companion who was acting together today, he was naturally observing the nun's condition.
It was obvious that the other party wanted to stabilize his mentality.
Ronald could only adopt this attitude.
The two stopped talking, and Martha led Ronald to find their target with clear goals.
In this process, their route does not lead directly to the target.
Martha stood on the side of the street and hesitated for a few seconds. After thinking about it, she walked directly along the direction of the road to the side of the bridge head of the Boluk Bridge. Then she and Ronald stepped over the railing and walked down the river embankment.
Recalling what the nun had said before, Ronald asked:
"Marta, I remember I said before that the location of the saint's legacy can be determined?"
Carefully bypassing the pool of water on the steps at the foot, Martha immediately answered :
"It is possible to determine the location, but it is only an approximate result. If you want a more accurate result, you can only judge by looking for the opponent's previous movement trajectory." The two continued to communicate while continuing
.
Stepping on the steps on the edge of the Boruk Bridge and reaching a position close to the surface of the Vis River, Martha stopped.
What appeared in front of the two people was a drainage outlet of the city sewer.
Although there are roads above the water on both sides of the sewer for the convenience of workers, the dark space and the unpleasant smell still make people very uncomfortable.
Faced with this situation, Ronald also experienced the inconvenience caused by his strengthened body.
You must know that the enhancement of "Divine Comedy" is comprehensive.
In addition to the most basic physical fitness, Ronald's senses and reaction speed have also improved significantly.
So when faced with the rancid sewage in the sewer.
The smell he smelled was also far more unbearable than what most people would face.
If you are going to fight someone with Spencer's voice type next time, should you prepare a pair of earplugs in advance?
Thinking about these things in his mind, Ronald's movements in reality did not slow down.
Seeing the nun on the side looking embarrassed, he took the lead and walked into the darkness of the sewer:
"I'll go ahead. Do you need lighting here?"
"Please wait a moment." The nun nodded immediately.
With one hand, Martha took out a cylinder the size of a fluorescent stick from the shoulder pocket of her clothes. After an almost imperceptible amount of magic power was injected into it, the cylinder began to glow in her hand.
Although it does not have the brightness brought by ordinary light sources.
But there was no problem in helping the two of them move forward in the sewer.
Bang bang -
In the dark sewer, Ronald and Martha walked forward on the occasional sewage, twisting and turning in the complex terrain of the sewer.
On the one hand, there was the uneasiness deep in the nun's eyes.
On the other hand was Ronald's confusion.
He had never turned off the detection of the power of 'Rage', but after exploring the depths of the sewer, he found no signs of enemy activity.
Except for a few ordinary homeless people or desperate guys hiding here, there are no enemies nearby who fit the mentality of "stealing the legacy of the saint".
Ronald did not doubt the abilities of the nun beside him.
But look at the current situation.
The enemy's movement was to run all the way from the church area to the riverside area with the Sword of Santa Caterina. Then they didn't think of a way out of the city immediately. Instead, they wandered east and west in the sewers and acted misleadingly.
The enemy expected someone to come in pursuit.
And then deliberately do some behaviors that have the function of procrastination and confusion?
"Mr. Ronald, stop." At this moment, Martha behind Ronald called him.
Turning around, the nun was pointing directly at their head with a serious look on her face.
At the top of this location is a ladder and sewer manhole cover leading to the opposite side.
"..."
Ronald immediately understood what Martha meant.
"They went up?"
"Not just up." However, the nun shook her head, lowered her voice and said seriously, "The saint's legacy is up there." "The
distance error... will definitely not exceed a hundred Rice!"
