Bonn is located on the southeast coast of East Segs.

This place was once affiliated with a small principality, relying on the natural barrier of the eastern mountains and was almost isolated from the world.

However, after the end of the Life Revolution that spread here a few years ago, this inconspicuous principality also became part of the Eastern Seges Alliance, abolishing the aristocratic system like other parts of the mainland.

Dongsegus, who once could not conquer even the Holy Mannian Empire, relied on the power of civilians and mercenaries to unify it from the inside.

Then, there is the replacement of faith.

Originally, many beliefs of East Seges disappeared one after another because they lost their connection with the gods.

At the same time, the Church of Life began to spread rapidly here as if it had expanded in other regions.

To this day, even the closed town of Bonn has officially settled in the Church of Life.

It is said that this is the last town on the entire continent without a replacement of faith.

With the establishment of the Temple of Life in Bonn Town, the footprints of the Life Church have completely covered the entire continent.

This is something that the once powerful Eternal Church has not done...

The village where Maria is located is not too far from Bonn.

After climbing over two hills, crossing a river, and then crossing a forest, you will arrive.

It was noon and the sun was hanging high. This town, with a population of only more than 5,000, is much deserted than before.

Looking around, there are lights and decorations on the buildings on both sides of the street, but there are few people on the roads paved with slabs and stones.

Even the scattered pedestrians that could be seen ran in the same direction in a hurry.

They were talking about something while running, with their expressions seemingly excited and their eyes full of curiosity.

Seeing people heading toward the ground, Maria felt aroused in her heart and soon realized what was going on...

"Speaking of this, I saw it on the bulletin board at the entrance of the village two days ago. Today is the day when the Temple of Life is officially completed."

"The people in the town... should have gone to watch the ceremony?"

The girl murmured.

She took a deep breath, tidied up her clothes, and walked towards the direction where people gathered.

Speaking of which... her destination is also where.

Bonn Town is not big, and compared with the large towns in the central and western part of the mainland that often have tens of thousands of people, it is completely small.

It took Maria only twenty minutes to walk from the east to the west of the town.

In front of the west square of the town, a sharp-cornered dome temple rose from the ground, and the golden scepter logo on the spire shines brightly under the sunlight.

Around the temple are surrounded by huge white stone pillars, decorated with exquisite patterns, and above the arched main entrance of the temple, the words "State of Life" are written in gorgeous and graceful elves and standard mainland common words.

At this moment, the temple was filled with people coming to watch the temple’s completion celebration. More than a dozen fully armed guards were standing upright and maintaining order.

Maria recognized that he was the professional guard of the alliance, and it is said that each of them was a devout believer in life.

At the front of the temple, a tall figure in a white priest's robe was holding a golden "Sacred Book of Life" with his back to everyone, shaking his head and chanting something.

Maria's eyes lit up when she saw the iconic priest robe.

She wanted to go up and see, but after taking a step, she was a little hesitant.

Speaking of which, her perception of the Church of Life is quite complicated.

This church destroyed her country, forcing her to hide her identity and wander around.

But in the same way, it was this church that brought hope to the civilians and changed the order of the entire continent.

Looking back on that night ten years ago, the girl was still a little scared to this day.

The rebels who could not see the end on the street, the red flags and the fires soaring into the sky...

Although to this day, she has gradually understood what happened back then.

But whenever she thinks of the battle that night, the fallen nobles and the civilians who were torn to pieces under the charge of the nobles, she still can't help but tremble.

Change is always inseparable from sacrifice, and war...even just, it still brings destruction.

The same was true that night.

In the past ten years, she woke up from her sleep countless times, and her mind was filled with the tragic situation inside and outside the palace that night.

If it weren't for the teacher's protection, she would probably have died in the anger of the rioters like other nobles and even innocent civilians in the inner city.

The experience of that night had left a shadow in the girl's heart.

Until today.

Looking at the crowd gathered in front of the Temple of Life, the girl sighed and withdrew her pace.

never mind.

But it's fine to go.

Although I wanted to say goodbye to that person, the other party's identity is a high-level priest of the Life Church, and he is an invisible royal family.

Speaking of which, the relationship between the two parties is originally hostile. Although she does not hate the Church of Life from the bottom of her heart, but... if the other party knew her true identity, she would probably not let her go, right?

After all, it has been ten years since the Mannian Republic, and from time to time, royalists have emerged to restore the empire. Although the Eternal Church has been completely replaced by the Church of Life, the situation is far from completely stable.

Especially in recent years, even the semi-secret Maria has heard some rumors about Mania from time to time from the tavern in the town. It seems that as time goes by, the suppressed aristocratic forces have become even more ready to move...

Obviously...their strength is so delicious.

Thinking of this, Maria felt a little strange again, and she didn't know where the stupid remnant nobles came from.

Even if they announced their willingness to support the Church of Life, they had lost the hearts of the people. The so-called restoration... In the words of the elves, it is undoubtedly a reversal of history.

Although the girl doesn't understand what the reverse means.

Maria's thoughts were flying.

At this moment, warm applause and cheers came from the direction of the temple.

It seems that the priest's blessing is over.

The girl looked up and saw the tall figure in front of the temple put down the holy scripture in her hand and slowly turned around.

However, when she saw the other person clearly, she couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Sharp ears, red hair, and a bit of smile on his handsome face.

The girl recognized it. This was one of the elves who participated in the construction of the temple with the arrival of the Life Church some time ago. She was named Demacia, a somewhat cynical leader of the Selected Person.

However, this is not the person she is looking for.

She has never liked such a guy with a jumpy personality, although the other person is a noble elf.

Especially the other party was also one of the promoters of the Great Revolution.

When Maria felt uncomfortable when she thought of the fight that night and the other party were inseparable from each other.

Not only that, when the Life Church just came here, she seemed to have been recognized by the other party. If the adults in the church had not stopped the other party, maybe this guy would have been blocked at his doorstep.

Difficult to deal with.

Maria rubbed her temples, and for a moment she even wondered if the exposure of her identity would also be related to the other party.

After all, the other party’s reputation seems to be among the elves, and it is also quite subtle.

And at this moment, a somewhat surprised voice came from behind her:

"Maria?"

The sound was crisp and beautiful, like a clear spring in the mountains.

Hearing the familiar voice, Maria woke up instantly.

She was delighted and quickly turned around.

What caught my eye was a female elf wearing a white priest's robe. She had blonde hair and blue eyes like her, but she gave people a holy and dignified temperament that could not be blasphemed.

She stood outside the crowd and was smiling at Maria.

Maria smiled, too.

Her expression suddenly became respectful.

She stepped forward and gently pinched the corner of the mage's robe, gave a standard lady gift to the female elf, and said with a smile:
Chapter completed!
