Chapter 923
Chapter 923
Elena was still rushing to the capital of the empire, but Weiwei, who was in the capital of the Kingdom of Solens, received a special letter today.
During the days she lived in the palace, Weiwei gradually got used to the surrounding environment. Although she occasionally felt uncomfortable with the hostile eyes around her, she was not as panicked as she was at the beginning.
The reason why her mentality was able to change and her inferiority complex did not break out was all thanks to Elena by her side.
After all, in terms of status, Elena, as a brave warrior, is indeed no worse than these nobles in the palace. People like herself can become friends with such beings and become shoulder-to-shoulder companions. There is nothing to be inferior about towards these nobles who only know how to shrink in their comfort zone and think they are noble.
It's just that life in the palace is much more boring than imagined. Every day is either learning etiquette or contacting the knowledge of the nobles. These boring knowledge that cannot resonate with everyone is not something that Weiwei wants to spend energy on at all.
After all, even if they learned all this knowledge thoroughly, got rid of their strange instincts and integrated them into their habits, in the end, it was just to deal with these hypocritical nobles, and it was not worth spending so much energy.
But they had to learn. After all, as the face of the Kingdom of Sorens, Elena, as a brave warrior, had to deal with these people, and as companions, they were more or less "jointly punished".
After many days of boring study life, Weiwei finally got a chance to breathe. Today was a rare day off. She didn't need to think about anything, just rest well.
But on such a day, Sophia, who was supposed to be far away in the church, sent a strange letter. The content of the letter was very strange. Sophia actually asked her to meet at the chapel in the palace.
Since they were going to meet, wouldn't it be better to meet directly? Why use such a troublesome thing as a letter?
Weiwei didn't understand it, but she still wanted to get along well with Sophia, even if she recalled the details of their previous relationship, it was really hard to call it a pleasant one.
Vivi recognized the handwriting, which was written by Sofia herself. She had considered that this was a trap, after all, the letter specifically asked her to go alone, but she felt that Sofia would not really do anything to her.
After all, Sofia had been able to take action many times before, but in the end she still chose not to hurt Vivi. Vivi believed that the other party still had a kind and friendly side in her heart.
Although it was a bit risky, Vivi still chose to go to the appointment alone and came to the chapel in the palace alone, observing the quiet and deserted environment around.
This chapel was built by the King of Sorens to show goodwill to the church. After all, everyone wants to borrow the power of the priest, and the miracle that can heal the body is worth people's trouble.
However, no one came to use or worship this church after it was built. After all, these nobles in the palace only value bloodline and not faith. They want to borrow the ability of the priests, but they will not change their beliefs.
The clergy of the church have their own churches, so there is no need to go to the palace to pray here. It is also inconvenient to do things here, and basically no one from the church will come to pray.
If you really need to find the priests for something, there is a more formal church only five kilometers away from the palace, so you can go there to find someone.
This leads to the situation that this small church is often empty and deserted. The servants only do the minimum cleaning when they come, and no one will stay here after that.
Although she knew that her companions and she were inside the palace, she could feel the quiet atmosphere around her, and Weiwei felt a little uneasy.
To be honest, her instinct told her that it would be better to leave quickly and not do anything risky alone, but when she thought about the relationship between herself and Sophia, she was reluctant to leave as if she was just one step away from reconciliation.
She believed that Sophia was a good child, just like the most naughty children in the orphanage. As long as she was influenced by love, she would turn over a new leaf sooner or later and become a sensible person that everyone liked.
With this idea in mind, Weiwei pushed open the door of the church, and Sophia knelt on one knee under the statue inside the chapel.
She seemed to be expecting or asking for atonement from the gods. She looked very pious. Unlike the hypocrisy she used to disguise herself in the past, Sophia's expression at this moment was very sincere.
After observing the surroundings, there was no one except Sophia's breath. As the letter said, Sophia was indeed alone in the church.
Although she was showing goodwill, it was a bit too deliberate to choose such a place to talk. Weiwei couldn'tI was still a little wary.
I don't know how long it took, Sophia kept praying, and she didn't get up even when she heard the noise of Weiwei coming. She closed her eyes and chanted the advice of the God of Light.
Weiwei didn't say anything to disturb her, just silently looked at her back until Sophia finally finished and slowly stood up.
"You shouldn't have come."
However, Sophia said such words as soon as she opened her mouth, even though it was obviously her who invited Weiwei.
"You invited me, so I will come. Don't you want to have a good talk? I think it's time to have a good chat."
Weiwei was also quite tough. Recalling the way Elena looked when facing outsiders, she also pretended to be the other person and posed.
Sophia obviously noticed it, and she was speechless with her back to Weiwei. Although she felt this way more than once, she still had to say that this "pseudo-saint" was too naive.
"Chat? There's nothing to talk about between us. I invited you here just to attack you. Recently, the Lord of Light issued an oracle. Guess what it is?"
After saying that, Sophia slowly turned around. Her expression looked a little melancholy and even listless. Although she tried to emit murderous aura, it was not very obvious.
"Oracle?!"
Hearing this, Weiwei's eyes widened. She didn't learn in vain during this period. She knew something about the gods.
In this era, the sense of existence of gods has become quite weak. If it weren't for the facts, most newborns would even think that gods don't exist.
Something must have happened in the world of gods, causing these high-level beings who urgently need faith to be unable to contact this side, but under this situation, the God of Light can still issue an oracle to his believers.
Although the Church of Light has always claimed that this kind of thing has never stopped, people are still unwilling to admit that the God of Light can still observe this world. After all, the gods are indeed gradually disappearing from people's sight.
