"The church also regularly recruits students from families of archipelago residents, but the admission standards are even stricter."

Lann nodded with clarity: "Is it a system similar to a church school? Maybe Sintra can learn it..."

"Of course you can learn." Donner acknowledged, "provided that you need to have a church."

...

Many of the houses here are built of logs.

When a large and amazing marble building finally appeared in front of me, Lann knew that this was the destination.

The long stone steps were high with buildings, covered with moss, ivy and shrubs, and looked like a large hedgehog. On its roof, Lann saw bushes, and even a few small trees and mistletoe.

The two young priestesses waited silently in front of the temple. Dona politely greeted them and expressed his willingness to talk to their leaders - he called the man "high priest Sigdrifa".

They walked into the entrance, and the sunlight shone through the high window provided light to the interior of the temple. One of the sunlight shone just on the altar.

The two priestesses signaled to everyone that they were calm, because at this moment, they could still hear the sound of prayer coming from inside.

...

"——Goddess of the Virgin Freya! Give me the strength to love, give birth to children, raise warriors, and kill enemies!"

...

Lann's mouth twitched, and the prayer was naked and unlike something that should appear in the temple.

On the simple marble altar, above the stone shells used to offer the vocational sacrifice, the statue of the "Great Mother" Freya stands. This is a statue full of motherhood, wearing a robe fluttering in the wind, pregnant, and the sculptor even deliberately exaggerates her bulging abdomen.

Freya's image is the goddess of the Trinity, including virgins, mother and old lady. "Mother" is His most common image.

The statue in front of me was hunched with his head down, and his facial features were covered by a piece of cloth. The goddess placed her hands on her chest, and a diamond was sung in the middle of the golden necklace above. The diamond was slightly water-blue. It was very large and very large.

It was visually estimated to be 150 carats.

The believer who had just spoken the prayer had left here, and only a tall priest was left in front of the altar.

She was really tall, and her eyes were almost as good as Lane when she turned around. Her hair and pupils were light, and she had a thin cheek that was not beautiful or feminine.

"Welcome, Lord Earl, welcome to the Temple of the Virgin." The tall priest greeted Dona.

"Your arrival is also welcome, Lan of Sintra, and the witch hunter Ged from the South."

Dona, the respected old man in Skelligand, bowed slightly to the priest and saluted to his faith: "Salute to you, the noble high priest Sigdrifa."

Lann and Gued just bowed their heads and gave a little greeting.

"High Priest Sigdrifa?" Lane was a little curious, "You seem to know we'll come?"

High Priest Sygdelifa nodded: "Sintra's lion, your name has long been spread to Skellig. Now that you have only been here for a week, you have stopped a conspiracy that may lead to Skellig's collapse."

Then the high priest turned to Ged again: "The Bear Sect witch hunter from the south, I heard that you were extremely brave. The first prey you came to Skellig's hunting was the green dragon entrenched in the remains of the elves. The islanders all want to bear your love, and the poem about you has been written."

Gede touched the back of his head: "That green dragon is not much bigger than a horse, it's nothing."

Lane was curious about the high priest's reaction.

"You seem to know us well and know we're coming?"

The high priest chuckled: "I know what you are thinking, but the messages from you and the witch hunter Gede were brought by the believers in prayer. As for the information you are coming to me, please inform me in advance."

Lane nodded and said she knew. Just now, seeing the high priest's reaction was well aware of the two of them, he thought the other party had used some prophetic magic.

Lane is still very curious about the power of religion, because there is a so-called "god" in this world.

Although those gods who really appeared rarely show direct destructive power, their style is not very high. The sects and temples that worship them are often robbed and slaughtered in the background stories.

One of the largest sects in the north is a large armed organization without God, such as Eternal Fire.

But there is really the so-called "God" in this world.

...

The high priest probably saw Lane's reaction too much and took the initiative to explain: "You seem very disappointed that I did not know that you were coming through divine art. Please remember that not those who believe in God can have power, but God will lower his power through believers when necessary."

Lann cooperated very well and showed a serious and polite expression, indicating that he had been taught. But his expectations for divine art have dropped.

Dona took a step forward and expressed his intention to come to the public: "Sigedrifa, I came here to ask you for help. We need the help of Virgin Freya."

The high priest smiled faintly, made an listening gesture, and signaled Dona to speak frankly.

"The bloodshed at the King's banquet has made the latest progress." Dona looked at the high priest's pale eyes, "It's the berserker, the evil god believer who can turn into a bear, and it's the Swabro Sect who has returned."

The high priest who had been maintaining a calm expression finally changed. Her face was full of disbelief, and there was a kind of pious anger.

"The believer of the evil god?"

Donner nodded: "So I'm here to ask for help. I don't know if we can get information about those thugs through the power of the Virgin."

The high priest's chest was undulating, and she turned to look at the statue of her mother in the Trinity of Freya, forcing her tone to calm down:

"The Swabrou sect actually has a remnant party... but the Virgin Mary has never brought down an oracle, which shows that Swabrou is not a threat."

"They are already a threat, and they almost put Skellig in unprecedented chaos," Donner retorted.

Donah continued: "Madame Mother may not have sent down the oracle, but shouldn't we, as believers, take the initiative to share the worries of the Virgin? The cultists of the past appear again. Shouldn't we eliminate heresy and protect the Virgin's believers?"

...

The high priest lowered his head and thought seriously about Dona's words.

She was quickly convinced.

"I can try to help find the people behind the thugs."

Gede showed a happy expression when he heard the speech and asked curiously: "What are you going to do?"

"It's not me, it's us." The high priest showed a natural expression, "We pray and pray for the power of God."

Lane picked up his arms, and something religiously-compatible finally appeared in this sect.

...

Lann looked at Dona and the High Priest in front of him, and they sat there kneeling, lowering their heads, motionless.

Lann was not involved. Since he suffered a great loss in the Elemental Ring, he has refused to meditate and pray in such places where there may be any risks.

Seeing Lann reacting so much, Gede naturally would not make any boring things for himself. What the witch hunter has is belief rather than belief, not to mention that he is still a bear.

The high priest was not furious because they were disrespectful to God, but just greeted Dona on his own.

So there was this scene in front of me: there were no chanting, no mantras, and no mysterious consciousness. Only two devout believers knelt on the ground, praying for the power of God in silence.

A quarter of an hour passed, and Gued almost started yawning, and he was a little impatient.

Lane was still patient, and he was waiting and watching the high priest who could pray for the power of God.

But he believed in King Bran and Dona.

The most respected old lord of the archipelago would never be a person who was blinded by faith. It was related to Skelig's inheritance of the throne, and he would never treat it with silly.

Another quarter of an hour passed in this patient waiting.

Suddenly, Lane felt like she was being looked at by a beam of eyes.

This feeling is similar to the feeling of being looked at by those curious priestesses on the road just now. Lane, who has long been used to other people's gazes, is particularly sensitive to this.

But compared with the shy eyes of those little girls, this gaze is... particularly direct.

If the girls' eyes were hiding behind the trunks and secretly poking their heads out of their heads, chattering and curiously spying; then the sight that came to Lan's body was a person holding a torch in the middle of the night, looking at him regardless of the possibility of litting his hair.

If this unscrupulous feeling is enlarged several times, Lan En would almost misunderstand that Master Mirror has returned from the Astral Realm.

However, the gaze only stayed on Lann for a moment, as if he had discovered something and disappeared soon.

At the same time, the high priest who was praying suddenly twitched, gasping for breath as if the newborn baby's first breathing.

Dona was awakened by the movements of the high priest from prayer and showed an envious expression.

"I have received the revelation of God." The high priest was relieved at first, and then he showed an unspeakable expression.

She said: "The secret of the Swabrou sect is in Mokwag!"

Lanen was very familiar with that expression, it was forced to suppress anger.

Gede asked in confusion: "Who is Mokwag?"

"He used to be a pirate, a blasphemer." The high priest took a deep breath again, "and now, he is a werewolf, an evil monster that will never be full!"
