Chapter 285
Chapter 285
Just like Irina who was observing the believers, the old man was also observing Irina carefully.
He narrowed his eyes and showed a kind smile. He looked so approachable, but people couldn't get close to him at all.
"I guess you are the Irina in the rumors? Lord Light has heard about your deeds. You are young and born in a humble family, but you can withstand all unfavorable conditions and move forward bravely. You have achieved so many achievements early. It really confirms an old saying in the East that heroes have always been young."
As soon as he came up, the old priest praised Irina without hesitation.
But these words meant something else to Irina. Obviously, the old man in front of him had investigated him thoroughly, and most of what he had done was known to the other party.
"It's an honor to meet such a talented young man with a bright future. Let me introduce myself here. My name is Doyles. I'm an ordinary believer of the God of Light. I'm glad to meet you."
After saying that, the old man named Doyles stretched out his right hand to Elaina. Unlike those old-fashioned believers in his impression, this man didn't speak so much like a charlatan.
Although he still occasionally couldn't do without the God of Light, his tone of voice was relatively calm and even had some characteristics. He was not the type that could not help but alienate people.
In response, Elaina looked at the other party's outstretched left hand with a gloomy face. The expression on his face could be said to be quite ugly.
Now he only had one left hand left. The other party actually stretched out his right hand. What did this invitation to shake hands mean?
"Ah... Sorry, look at my old brain, it's getting more and more confused. I have forgotten the fierce battle you experienced in Freya Academy. Your right hand was broken at that time, right?"
Doyles said with a smile, and hurriedly changed to his left hand. However, in Elena's opinion, the other party was intentional, and the proof was that the other party naturally led to the next words.
"By the way, Elena, since you have suffered the pain of a broken arm, you can come to the church of the Church of Light to seek help. For heroes like you who stand up to protect others, the Church of Light, which has always advocated saving the world, will heal you free of charge. Injuries like yours are only considered minor injuries here, and they can be cured without any effort."
Doyles said very actively. If an uninformed person heard his words, he might really think that the Church of Light was so kind.
If Elena hadn't seen the hospital full of injured people in the Labyrinth City, and if he hadn't heard people around him about the monopoly of the Church of Light on the healing profession, he would probably be skeptical about Doyles' words.
Now he just thought the other party was talking nonsense. The Church of Light was not so kind at all. If he went there to heal his wounds, he would not get help unless he bore the title of a member of the Church of Light.
"Not to mention that the old nun who adopted you, Elena, was originally a member of our Church of Light. You are also our family members of the Church of Light. It is natural to help family members. As long as you are willing, we can heal you now. To be honest, I, an old man, still have some ability. It is no problem to heal the broken limbs."
After saying that, Doyles touched his beard, showing a particularly kind smile, and wanted to touch Elena's wound with his empty right hand.
But Elena, who had been silent, dodged with a cold face, and looked at Doyles with no politeness at all.
"The old nun is a member of the Church of Light? If it was before, I might still think so, but when the old nun died of illness, why didn't you come even one person? We have never received any condolences from the Church of Light."
Elena said with a gloomy face. If his attitude towards the Church of Light was partly influenced by the evaluation of the outside world, a large part of it was the revelation given to him by the treatment of the old nun.
As a person abandoned by the Church of Light, the old nun worked hard to manage the broken church alone, adopted all the poor children, spent all her savings and fell ill.
In the most difficult time, the old nun had to borrow money from people everywhere, and even went back to her hometown to seek help from those so-called relatives.
Both her body and mind were tortured during that period, so that she contracted a lot of diseases in her later years, and it was difficult for her to move even when she was lying in bed in her last days.
People admired the old nun because she had been doing good things all her life and bringing light to the poor as much as possible in this dark world.
But such an existence that is admired by people, the Church of Light never expressed even a little.
There was no reward for her behavior, nor any practical material help for her. One day, someone went to the church to inquire and found that the old nun had been expelled from the church. No one recognized her as a member of the Church of Light.
As if she was worried about by the world, the old nun seemed particularly lonely. If it weren't for the company of kind children, the childless old nun would have to leave lonely in the end.
Now that the old nun has been gone for some time, the Church of Light has the audacity to say that we are a family and the old nun is an inseparable member of the Church of Light.
This kind of nonsense will not be believed by the villain, and it will only make Elaina unable to stop burning with anger.
"This... Elena, you have to understand that now is the era when the gods have left. In order to maintain contact with the Lord of Light, the church is also very busy, and there are many branches of the church. It is normal that some places cannot be taken care of."
Doyles wanted to explain, but his words were hard to convince people no matter how he listened. The old nun was famous. At least in the South City District, almost everyone knew about it.
In this case, the Church of Light had no intention of coming to check the situation. It can be imagined that in their eyes, this old woman who only adopted orphans was useless. There was no need to contact her because she could not bring them benefits and would only lose money.
"Listen carefully, old man, and the church you represent. Although I spent money to rebuild the church, it was only to give my brothers and sisters a better place to live. The reason why I didn't transform it into an ordinary house was just to repay the old nun for raising me. Renovating the church does not mean that we have a relationship with the Church of Light. Even if we have faith in the future, what we believe in is definitely not your God of Light."
Irina said coldly with a straight face. Facing these guys who had bad intentions from the beginning, he would not give them face.
