"Auntie Alyssa." After showing her respect to the Goddess of Earth, Lina stood up and ran forward a few steps, supporting the old nun who was walking towards her tremblingly: "I'm back."

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back." The old nun stretched out his old hand and stroked Lina's cheek with a reassuring smile on his face: "You kid, you always go to those dangerous places to play, it's really unreliable."

"Auntie, I'm not going to play," Lina said with a lot of laughter and crying: "I'm going to work, and it's not dangerous at all, so don't worry."

"Nonsense, why isn't it dangerous?" The old nun stubbornly insisted on his opinion: "I saw it when I was young, don't want to hide it from me. At that time, I was still a nun in Morning Star City north of Farar. Every day I could see adventurers carried back from the whispering swamp. At that time, I knew that adventurers are the most dangerous profession in the world. So, kids, let's take risks less in the future and be obedient."

"Yes, yes, you're right, I'll stop going in the future." Lina waved to Panis secretly, and supported the old nun with a smile on her face and walked towards the back door of the prayer hall.

"Alisa, is Lina back?" The sound of crutches gradually sounded, and an old nun, Elisa, walked out of the back hall wearing a sacrificial robe and leaning on a crutch. When Lina's eyes were heard, Panis stepped forward and supported the old priest.

"Thank you, young man." The old priest nodded to Panis: "Linna, is this your friend you brought? It's so polite. Come in and sit down quickly, don't stand outside."

"Uncle Priest, he is Penis, a new member of our adventure group." Lina held Aunt Alisha's back hall while staring at the old priest's crutches with a little worry: "Why are you using crutches? Your legs were still fine when I left."

"Haha, it's okay." The old priest smiled indifferently: "It has been raining a few times recently, and my knees are sore and I'm not convenient to walk. I've only used crutches and will be fine after these few days."

"Huh, where are the others?" Lina found that she had left for a long time but didn't see anyone, so she asked in confusion: "Why aren't there?"

"It's September, it's already autumn." said the old priest, "Did you forget your child?"

"Ah, by the way." Lina patted her forehead with her free hand: "The harvest festival has arrived, I didn't even notice that it's September."

After several people walked through several rooms and took a detour to the innermost living room, the old priest gasped for a while before continuing, "Like in previous years, the children have all gone to various villages to preside over the festival. By the way, you are back just the right time, and I am worried."

"What's wrong?" Lina reacted after asking: "Did you let me take charge of a village too?"

"Yes, I was going to be responsible for the rituals in Angus Village by myself, but I didn't expect that I could not walk any further and was worried about what to do. Although you are a combat priest and not a priest, you still have no problem presiding on the countryside rituals. Do you have time?"

"Of course there is time." Lina agreed without hesitation: "I'll do it, well, the festival should be three days later. Angus Village is not far away, and it only takes one day to ride a horse. So, I'll set off early the morning after tomorrow, and it's definitely time."

"Thank you, my child." The old priest smiled relievedly and nodded: "You guys sit for a while, I'll prepare for the afternoon work."

"What? Uncle Priest, are they all gone? Do you still have to pray for the believers in the afternoon?" Lina asked in surprise.

"I'm fine." The old priest stood up with a crutch and said, "There are only three healing and blessings every month. Many believers from afar are waiting. They can't let them go for a waste or wait for more than ten days."

"Okay." Lina stood up: "Then I'll go to Beicheng District first, and I'll come here to help in the afternoon."

"It would be better if you could come." The old priest did not politely refuse Lina, and agreed happily like a family.

"Then I'll leave first." Lina gently hugged Mother Alisa beside her and stuffed a purse into the old nun's hand without a trace. The old nun skillfully took the purse and stuffed it into her clothes pocket. She took Lina's hand as if nothing had happened and said, "I'm going back to the prayer hall, just to see you off."

"Why are you giving so much this time?" Walking back to the prayer hall, the old nun couldn't wait to lean into Lina's ear and asked quietly, "You haven't used up what you gave last time."

"This mission is very good, I have made a lot of money." Lina also whispered to the old nun's ear, and while speaking, she looked at Panis who was bored looking around not far away: "It's a lot of money. This money is enough for me to change to a big bed, buy a big bookshelves, and then find many new friends to go home. By the way, this time I actually found a lot of separated friends and took them all back after a while, hahahaha."

Looking at Lina's happy smile, the old nun touched Lina's head with pity: "Don't work too hard, child."

"Don't worry, Aunt Alisha, I will take good care of myself." Lina smiled and waved her hand: "I'll leave first, see you in the afternoon."

It was not until he walked out of the church gate that Lina put away the smile on her face and sighed softly: "The two old men have not been there for a few years, alas."

Panis gave Lina a comforting smile, knowing that there is no need to comfort me in this way, just listening is enough.

Sure enough, Lina continued: "When I came here a few years ago, every time I came back from a risk, they cared about me as my family. After a long time, they really regarded them as elders. It was not easy for the two old men to live with more than 30 apprentices."

"So every time you come back, do you subsidize them a little?" Panis said: "I saw your actions before leaving, why do you still hide them from the old priest?"

"Haha, you actually saw it." Lina smiled sly: "It has always been hidden from Uncle Ankava. There are too many temples in the City of Knowledge. Most of the people who truly believe in God and are willing to donate in this area are ordinary farmers and travelers nearby. They are not rich. When donating, Uncle Ankava always advises them to donate less. If they donate too much, he will not collect them. So when I first came, the two old men and more than thirty apprentices lived on meager believers to serve and barely eat enough every day, and they didn't even have the funds to repair the temple. Later, I wanted to fund a little, but

Uncle Ankava refused to accept it, saying that it was dangerous for me to run outside the city, so he asked me to buy some good equipment with money. Haha, the old man was just a bronze priest and didn't understand at all, unless some rare special equipment such as my Dharma books and maces, other equipment did not mean much to high-level professionals. But he didn't believe it when he explained to him. The old man's unique stubbornness was in the end, so I secretly stuffed the money into the donation box. After stuffing it a few times, Aunt Alisha discovered it. Aunt Alisha was still very easy to talk to, and I was easily convinced. So every time I donated, I secretly gave it to Aunt Alisha."

"It's a very interesting life." Panis smiled faintly: "I can't imagine that professionals can live like this, ordinary, but happy."

"Yes, it's hard to imagine." Lina's mood suddenly fell: "But, in fact, I'm using them to cleanse my heart."

Penis didn't say anything and waited silently.

"Actually, I am a sinner like you." Lina reached out to touch the crescent scars between her eyebrows: "You have a rich experience in adventure, and have communicated with many adventurers. You should know what this mark is."

"The mark of the sinners." Panis said lightly: "In the religion of the earth, only believers who commit serious sins will be carved with traces of the sinners."

"You know, indeed." Lina smiled calmly, without any surprises: "So you are actually a good person. Seeing such a mark, you are not hostile to me."

"Because you were not rejected by Deniya." Panis pointed to the Dharma book on Lina's waist and said: "You can use the praise of the holy artifact, release various magical techniques, and even use the holy word technique directly. For such a person, let alone a trace of a sinner, even if he carved a row of sinner marks, I cannot be hostile."

"It turns out that you know the praises of the earth. Yes, the traces of the sinners were carved by myself, but that's because I am indeed a sinner." Lina pointed to her chest and murmured: "Here live a demon, a demon named jealousy. Under the demon's death, I committed an unforgivable felon."

He raised his head and saw Panis's slightly concerned gaze. Lina suddenly laughed loudly, slapped Panis's back heavily, stretched out two fingers to compete in victory, and blinked at Panis mischievously: "How about it, you're like a melancholy girl, hahahaha."

The corners of Panis's mouth twitched slightly, and he looked at Lina in a wooden manner. He brewed for a long time before sighing in a desperate tone: "Who are you?"

"Catrina." Lina shook her long hair with a kind of freedom she had never seen before. She reached out to block Panis' neck without any hesitation, and pounded Panis's chest intimately: "For the first time we met, let's make a joke to enhance the relationship, don't be angry."

"Haha, haha." Panis smiled dryly and shook his head: "I'm not angry. I feel that no matter what you do, I have no motivation to be angry."

Lina didn't care about Panis's sarcasm and continued to put Panis on her shoulder: "Lina has a good impression of you. She thinks you are a reliable man. Not bad, but if you want to pursue her, you have to keep working hard."

"Thank you." Panis lowered his head weakly: "I don't want to, not at all."

"Don't be shy."

"Not shy at all."

Lina finally let go of her arm on her shoulder and whispered in a slightly mysterious way: "What I said just now is true."

Panis was stunned and nodded.

"But I can only say so much." Lina stopped lowering her voice and said loudly: "There is no way. Lina won't let me continue talking. That fool, that fool is so pitiful."

Panis looked at Lina's free and easy back in a daze, and finally shrugged for no reason, shook his head and sighed, caught up with Lina who was walking in front: "Where are we going?"
