Section 13 The Fool (End)

I am willing to follow the sage. I am always his purity and dedicate my whole life, and carry out the will of the Lord within the holy spirit - this is my never-changing faith and love to the Lord.

***

Lily crawled on the ground in front of the stairs of the altar. She had naked feet, wearing high-collar, long sleeves, and white wool underwear that stretched out her arms. She pressed her forehead against the cold rocks, and her arms were stretched out. The cold morning air penetrated from the ground of the stone. She penetrated into her body through her hair that had just been cleaned with water. She felt all this and did not use the power that was not her own in her body to warm and dry herself. The girl from Sardinia maintained this position. She didn't know how long it had passed, nor did she know that she could continue.

How long did she last? I only knew that when she finally decided to stand up, there were more than a dozen nuns of age around her. They all burst into tears, their bodies trembled slightly, and they recited silently with their mouths. Lily knew that the scene they had just seen must be very beautiful and solemn, so that they did not dare to disturb her conversation with the sage with comfort and piety. They also had to do their best, just to prevent themselves from making a trace of unnecessary sound or movement from the excitement and ecstasy that burst out from witnessing this sacred moment.

When she stood up, there were already older nuns who helped her get her snow-white linen coat and white souvenirs, and they helped her wear it, and then a priest sprinkled the holy water on her hair and clothes.

When a believer decides to devote himself to the Lord, he must go through at least the following stages - preparatory student (preparatory student is a primary nun or monk who requests admission to the sect.), a beginner student (a beginner student is a nun or monk who has finished the preparatory stage but has not made a vow.), serving nun (a monk), and finally the vow nun, monk, (the nun has about one year of temporary vow period), but as a person who has been identified as "respected", Lily no longer needs to prove her virtue through this method. Among the three monasteries provided by the church, she chose the Holy Clothing Monastery where Joan of Arc is located, which is a relatively enlightened monastery and willing to allow nuns to enter the world.

The nuns' vows are often arranged in the Mass Sacrifice, and this time is no exception. However, nearly a thousand people gathered in the church and more than ten thousand people waiting quietly in the square are mostly to witness a future saint and bathe in the coming second holy land.

The church band and the choir slowly entered in singing chants. Behind them were nuns who were preparing to make vows. Bishop Sli, who presided over this ceremony, read a simple **. He told people that the two choices of marriage and practice are acceptable to the Lord, but those who choose the latter path and those who keep the vocation will have a special blessing in heaven in the future, which is different from those of ordinary people. However, he also made a solemn reminder at the end that if he is cold and lazy, he will lose the vocation.

The priest called Lily's name, and she respectfully left the list and replied: "I am here, God, who chose me." Then, he walked up the steps and knelt on the bishop's face... After the ceremony of admission, he asked the dean of the Holy Madam's Monastery to accept him. The dean took the black souvenir consecrated by the bishop, took off the white souvenir from the head of the vow, replaced it with the black souvenir, and put the white rose wreath that had just been picked in the morning on her head. The last procedure was that the vower held the lit white candles and officially issued a one-year temporary vow, and expressed his willingness to the inquiries about the three vows. Finally, the bishop, the dean and the vower signed the vows respectively.

In Lily's countless imaginations before, if she was asked whether she could maintain her chastity, her heart might be painfully torn as if she was torn or twisted by sadness because of the existence of Alex. But when she really answered this question, her heart was unconventional and stable, and there was no mistake in her answer.

After Bishop Sli blessed Lily, people's emotions reached a peak, and they tried to keep themselves as solemn and silent as they should - Lily walked into the square, wide, extremely clean black shawl behind her, waving freely like the wings of birds - without the long prayers and parades, and without the harsh atonement that was shocking and surprising, the nun with mi-colored skin just stretched out his arms towards the sky, and then she shone like a star born in the universe, and selflessly projected its light.

***

The news of Lily's vow did surprise the people of Sardinia, but it was only surprising. As Bishop Sili said, for the Sardinians who believed in the sage, becoming a sage virgin who serves the sage is also worthy of respect and pride. The only thing worth regretting is that the Crown Princess was less than one candidate.

After making a temporary vow, the nun usually has a year to think and regret. In the last three weeks, she will get the opportunity to return to the earthly world. In the last twenty-one days, Lily went to the capital of Sardinia, and under the witness of the two archbishops of the Old Testament and the State Church, she accepted Alex's prayer and showed the third holy land to tens of thousands of people. After that, she had an unknown brief conversation with Alex and went to Western Sardinia the next day. Before she made a formal lifelong vow, she still needed to meet her parents.

"I think she already knows it," Wilderger said in an incredible tone: "But her performance...she really loves you, Alex."

"I'm very good to her." Alex replied plainly. He knew what Wilderger was surprised, because Alex's usual performance showed that Lily was one of the humans he paid great attention to. Although many people were confused by it--there is indeed an answer that can be explained reluctantly, if it was a prepared soul vessel, wouldn't it be nice to store Lily's body somewhere? If it was just to create a vegetable, both Salieri and the royal family could do it easily. What surprised him even more was that Lily did not hate Alex for this or gave up his original loyalty and love, nor even a trace of fear or alienation; you should know that Alex's "I want you (body)" is not as simple and sweet as ordinary people mean.

"I think you knew it very early. I hope Lily can become my apprentice." In fact, he has always used the method of teaching apprentices to guide the little girl into the magic world. Although it was his first time to teach an apprentice, and it was inevitable that he would go through some big and small twists and turns, the final result was quite satisfactory. This time Lily brought back not only the information of the blue diamond of doom called Hope, but also the cooperation and response between the holy objects, and the details of the energy fluctuations generated when they were activated. The last time was too short, and some people kept disturbing, and the lich did not collect enough consultation.

Well, in addition to this, it seems that it is necessary to do some "some" life trivial matters for their mentors and even older apprentices, so that they can conduct important and arduous spell research without hesitation. This is also a very important one. This is what the semi-lich tutor said.

It is not a good thing that a mage has too close relationship with his apprentice. Although the lich has not left the tutor's undead tower for nearly three hundred years, what is read from the brains of those books and adventurers: more than one mage was killed by his apprentice - perhaps because of negligence, or because of trust, they stormed their weaknesses in front of disciples who have been with him for a long time, and then completely killed by the people closest to them for various reasons - if not, the mage's care and love for the apprentice may also make the apprentice the best target for being used by the enemy as threats and baits.

Moreover, those apprentices with extraordinary talent and intelligence will abandon mentors who can no longer mentor themselves, just as mentors will mercilessly kick away those stupid guys who are confirmed to be helpless.

As for the mage apprentice who belongs to the evil camp - the... the elimination rate, or simply the mortality rate, is so high that it is strange and all-inclusive. The most common reason is that it is because it is used as a shield or a pathfinder by its mentor, or as payment for the transaction with the Badz Demon of the bottomless abyss. However, unless Badz indicates that the soul of a spellcaster and the transaction is urgent and necessary, this situation will be

Rarely happens, because children who can be regarded by mages generally have very good qualifications and souls. Even if they are used by Battz as cannon fodder for bloody battles, they may evolve from a humble evil demon to a powerful devil. The mage does not want to inexplicably add a terrible enemy to himself; and some are... because of some innocent and embarrassing things, such as a whimsical apprentice of Lagong, trying to turn his mentor's proud work "spellow bulge"

Swelling (double the effect of any spell that is related to the casting level, such as Fireball Technique), simplifies it, but the spell does not expand, and what is expanding is his internal organs. He spits out all the contents of his body from his mouth like a deep-sea fish that was quickly pulled from his sea; and one day, he deliberately or unintentionally pushed open the door of the instructor's bedroom and study room, the laboratory, and accidentally touched the teleportation array or gem and was teleported to his instructor and his instructor.

The place where the female succubus, who is in the bottomless abyss, was not eaten directly by the charming lady as a midnight snack, but was sent directly to the jealous mentor to be a companion with the Death Death Death Death Death. There were even a few who died because of making a dish that satisfies the guests. It was nothing strange. The Needle Demon is a snack that the Badz Demon likes very much, but it does not mean that the mace they waved could not break the head of a primary apprentice.

"Is your mentor good to you?" Wilderger asked suddenly.

"Very good." The Lich replied without hesitation. Although he had encountered many times similar to the above situation, the mentor even sold him to Glazt, who had six toes and six fingers for twenty years, he still caught him back before being overwhelmed by the human lions, the sperm-sucking banshee and the six-armed snake demon (Note 1) - he was still not dead after all.

Wilderger's mouth twitched. He had heard many short stories about the semi-lich tutor before - he knew that Alex loved this guy very much, and many things were measured by this guy's standards, so... there was no need to say anything.

"By the way." The Sardinian thug blinked, sat down, lay down, and occupied the soft carpet in a dignified manner. The lich looked at the dead knight who was leaning on and forked, and was impulsive to go up and step on his stomach. Fortunately, Wilderger continued: "Tell me about those things...that world affairs."

He made the decision faster than Alex thought, which was a bit surprising, but Alex did not show it, but the Dead Knight could feel the slight fluctuations in the soul connection.

"Don't worry. Alex," said Wilderger calmly, "You and I don't belong here."

This is something he knew from the time he opened his eyes again.

"Miss Lily, come here."

"Okay." Lily replied softly, putting down the kettle and bread in her hand, covering them with a napkin, washing her hands, and walking back to the ward. A twenty-square-foot ward had four beds, and under the neat and clean sheets were the dying people who could no longer get any chance of recovery - they could not find any loopholes in their bodies, and their vitality was leaking out, leaving only a little residue in the gap.

An old man was about to die, his breathing was silent and paused from time to time. Lily applied holy oil to his dehumidified eyes, forehead, lips, and prayed, and then clenched his skeleton-like hand.

Lily recited the Rosary three times, and the old man stopped breathing.

This is the Missionary Sisters of St. Ann presided over by Lily (she had resigned from the position of head of the Sardinian branch of the national charity organization before making a vow). It was originally a parish sisters of the Sardinian diocese, and could only preach and perform sacraments in the Sardinian region. However, as this missionary church grew, Lily is applying to the Pope to change the nun into a parished sisters, directly under the Holy See, so that she can work around the world. Yes, all over the world, from earthquake sites and wind disasters, flood sites, to plague epidemic areas, war refugee camps, and even the frontiers of war, from lepers, AIDS patients, to disabled people with no hope, and lonely elderly people in the city who are lonely and desperate; from Sardinia, Pellemcuy, the Western continent to Odin, to the Eastern continent, and even Ross and Zeland. Wherever there is suffering, they appear.

Lily has not publicly displayed the holy traces since she was listed as a true blessing. During this decade, some people have questioned her qualifications for a saint - because she is the only saint who was nominated or even likely to become a saint when she was alive - but she is always silent.

She did not quietly spend the rest of her life in the high walls of the monastery like those who were once inspired by the saints and the Virgin Mary. She never advocated self-punishment and autism, nor encouraged people to look for mass or donate to the Holy See. She suggested that parents wait until their children can understand and decide for themselves before taking them to the church for baptism. Under her guidance, more nuns and monks no longer talk to the saints through prayer and asceticism, but walked out of the monastery and participated in the mundane charity work. They regarded everyone in need as a saint and did their best to help them.

When she washed her hands again and then prepared to eat after a simple prayer, under the napkin, there was a sandwich wrapped in lettuce, raw ham slices, salad dressing, and an apple.

"I hope you won't eat only bread and salt like the nuns two centuries ago." When the gray-haired "Vulture" said, he sat on the chair beside him, resting his elbow on the back of the chair, and Sardin's crown prince stood beside him. Time seemed to have stopped flowing on them, but Alex became increasingly serious. After becoming a nun, Lily still insisted on reading newspapers every day, and Sardin's major newspapers would not be missing the crown prince who made them proud. He performed well, or could be said to be outstanding, but his subjects were worried about this.

"May the Saint Bless you." Lily stuffed the sandwich into her mouth. The wonderful taste made her squint her eyes happily. There were already subtle patterns on the corners of her eyes, but she could not lose her beauty and glory at all.

"I just want to ask you..." Alex asked softly: "Lily, are you willing to continue your current life?" Eight years were enough for him to prepare almost all of his preparation. If Lily was willing to leave with him, then he would not mind a dangerous expulsion for her - the annoying crystal of positive energy, and then, perhaps he could save her in the soul gem to bring her back to Faren, and it was not difficult to find a suitable body for a soul.

Lily opened her eyes slightly, and she continued to eat the delicious sandwich in silence, turning her eyes to the window, through the clean and transparent glass, she could clearly see the scenery outside - the blue sky, the sunshine, the grassland, and humans.

"Yes," she replied, "I will stay here, follow the sage, and give forever everything I have for the poor..."

Alex nodded and said nothing more. Wildeger seemed slow but actually quickly got up from the chair. The two disappeared quickly and silently as they came.

Lily finished the sandwich, drank a glass of water, and waited for a while, as if she wanted to make sure they had actually left.

"And..." She whispered carefully: "Love you."

***

Cardinal Sli watched the man with a noble status leave.

The priest beside him frowned slightly: "That is the crown prince of Sardinia."

"It seems...yes."

"We should block this dangerous interaction." The priest's voice became a little sharp, as if he was a little dissatisfied with Cardinal Sli's indifferent attitude: "That's...we all understand what he is!"

"Ah... maybe."

Bishop Sli touched his growing belly, and it almost squeezed the red belt representing identity into an invisible place: "But our mission today is not this." He poked the document held by the priest - the Pope specifically allowed Sisters of St. An to become one of the apostolics.

When the priest frowned even more, he walked towards Lily helplessly.

He could not speak lips, and even could not see Cardinal Sli behind him silently twitching his lips and saying something.

"He is an evil dark creature." The clergy, whose fat content can almost break the world record, murmured: "But to that little girl, he is a god."
