Now that Vermeer is not here.

……

Wuguancheng, South Craftsman Street, Praying Church.

Through the complex and dark underground passages, Vermeer, under the guidance of Chatisse, lifted the seal on the opposite door, and what appeared in front of her was an underground church hall.

"Arrived."

"Okay...Okay!"

Vermeer stepped onto the marble floor. The light inside the hall was not dim. The stained glass seemed to naturally emit light, making the inside look like daytime. The old-looking altar in front was full of white flowers.

She had never thought that there was a second church under the church in Wuguan City, and she was a little confused for a moment.

"Human beings in the past still had some wisdom."

Xia Tisi took the water from the holy pool and washed and purified her hands.

"The Prayer Cult has not always been so prosperous, and the Purifying Water Goddess has not been loved by people from the beginning. During the most difficult period in the past, there were people who fought tirelessly for her here."

Vermeer: ​​"..."

Xia Tisi did not raise her head. She knew that Vermeer would not be shaken by the accumulation of history. She used the wrong faith to embark on her own path. Even if something was subtly instilled in her, she would only absorb it selectively.

.

I'm rushing back as soon as possible.

During this period of study, the other party kept conveying this impression to her.

"I have already taught you all the goddess spells of the Jue Jingting. I thought I could barely catch up, but now it seems that your learning talent is also unique. You can memorize complex spells after reading them once."

"Thank you very much," Vermeer said. "Although I remembered it, it still took me a long time to understand and use it..."

"That is a spell used by the goddess herself. After so many years of changes, it is not knowledge in the mortal realm."

Xia Tisi completed the baptism of the three bottles, her white priest's robe was dragged on the ground, and she slowly came to Vermeer.

"Are you ready, Vermeer?"

"I...can't actually assume my due responsibilities. Does it really matter?"

Xia Tisi paused for a moment and stared at her with those illusive eyes.

"Including the fact that you can't bear it, you also need to be prepared. Since you have figured out how to go in the future, fulfill it in your own way."

"Yes..." Vermeer lowered her head in response, then raised her eyes again, "I'm ready."

Xia Tisi said nothing more. After receiving the baptism, her hands were allowed to touch the girl in front of her, and she gently sprinkled the holy water on her body with her fingers.

Cool...

Vermeer closed her eyes and quietly felt the peace contained in them. She temporarily put aside her messy thoughts and felt extremely peaceful in her heart.

Xia Tisi finished giving her the holy water, guided her to the altar in the hall, covered her with a dark green sacramental shawl, and put on a pure flower crown.

"Why...why is it dark green?" Vermeer looked down at herself, feeling a little puzzled for a moment.

Luo Wei once lamented that she might turn green in the future, which was not a good idea...

"This is an internal and secret sanctification ceremony. Since the goddess has passed away, only you and I can witness it. Cardinal members can no longer expect to be protected by the goddess, but must go on their own path," Shatis let her go.

Go to the middle of the crowded altar, "As for what you want to wear in the future, it doesn't matter, but because of your identity, I still recommend showing others pure white and holiness."

Hmm...

But I still prefer blue and white.

"I'm going to start reciting the prayers. You don't have to do anything. Just think about the road ahead."

Vermeer gently closed her eyes and replaced her answer with silence.

Shatis began to recite the teachings of the Prayer Cult and the holy scriptures of the Goddess of Purity.

"...Pure white flowers, the intention of prayer, if the prayer is not fulfilled, leading the children who will follow on the path of sharing the world's worries, God will not need to exist, and the prayer will be scattered on the earth."
p>

"...O white lamb, I listen to the past of your journey and comfort your wounded and troubled soul. Whether you can hear it or not, this prayer is also hidden deep in my heart."

"...In springs, in rivers, in every drop of rain and dew."

"Give you my most sincere and pure prayer, so that you will no longer be hesitant in the future and make you forget the sorrow of the past."

"My name is "Altina", thank you for your willingness to bear this wish."

Vermeer raised her head slightly.

Is that... the true name of the goddess of pure water?

"Vermeer." Xia Tisi regained her tone and looked at her and said.

"Yes."

"Here, having passed the personal trial as the goddess's apostle, I will give you a new identity."

Vermeer lowered her head slightly, allowing Xia Tisi to touch her forehead with her palm above the altar.

"Starting from today——"

"There is no need to follow the instructions of any doctrine, and there is no need to be bound by any priesthood. You can only implement the meaning of prayer in your own way."

"But I will still give you your original name."

Xia Tisi stared.

"From now on——"
Chapter completed!
