Chapter 97 The Murderer Behind
Charles is an ordinary high priest who manages the Water God branch in the town.
His strength is not strong, at most he is a mage apprentice, but he is very good at character and is very responsible for his work, and he takes good care of the water sources around him.
For the people in need, he took the initiative to go to help, and never took the opportunity to preach with other members of the church.
His belief in the God of Water is beyond doubt.
The scene was a little quiet.
When Charles saw Melie coming to his house, his expression calmed down, but he just prepared the tea politely without saying anything.
Gao Wen asked Alia to help check the tea and found that there was no problem.
"Is the princess here to catch me?"
Charles was very respectful to Mellie.
"...I've read your information. Did someone force you to do this?"
The other party's direct showdown surprised Melis a little. She was ready to get the evidence from her childhood sweetheart, but she couldn't use it.
"no."
Charles shook his head.
"Then why do you do this? It doesn't fit your personality by doing this."
Melie's expression was serious, and an invisible pressure made Charles unable to raise his head.
"Why? The reason is very simple." Charles's face suddenly became ferocious. His old face was full of jealousy. The veins of his hands holding the cup burst out, and he entered a special extreme emotional state.
His voice also became hoarse: "Because this is their retribution! Our Water God Cult has helped these people for twenty years. Old John's son was sick and I blessed them with the power of Lord Water God to save his son's life. As a result, little John believed in the God of Life, but because the God of Life God Cult gave his family a bumper harvest! The canals on the entire plain were built by the Water God Cult, and those people just thanked Lord Water God on their mouths!"
"They lost their conscience! The great water god gave them mercy, but no one remembered the kindness of the water god. He turned around and forgot the benefits they received and believed in life and light!"
"This is unfair! Your Highness, Princess, do you think this is fair?"
Charles' eyes were red, and he stared at Mellie.
Gao Wen stood in front of childhood sweethearts in case the enemy suddenly took action. It was also out of habit that he stood in front of Meli. In fact, Meli was much stronger than him.
When it comes to faith issues, Mellie is still very calm.
"You are changing your concepts. Giving is not just about doing it. Others are also giving. Human belief is free and we have no right to interfere."
Meli works part-time as a saint of the God of Light, and his words are very professional.
Charles had a disdainful expression on his face: "You have absorbed believers and naturally say such things. Then you must have never thought about how other weak gods preach. They have to make greater efforts but gain less. Is this what you said to be freedom?"
"It's not like this." Meli's brows frowned deeper. Gowan looked at Charles without saying anything. Judging from the other party's emotional changes, he had been bewitched by the people from the Mithril Club.
Alas, the premise of being bewitched is that you have psychological defects. Mithril will only amplify your negative emotions infinitely, and cannot be fabricated out of thin air.
It seems that Charles thought so.
"What's the point of saying so much? Since I have done this, I'm ready to die. I thought my plan would be successful... Your Highness, Princess, you are indeed excellent, but sometimes you can't see how ordinary people live."
Charles' twisted face calmed down and made a pious prayer move. He still maintained his faith in the water god in his heart.
Alya was always quiet, and she looked at Charles for no idea what she was thinking.
"Great God, please don't take care of these children anymore. They will no longer believe in your greatness..." Charles provoked and deliberately put his neck long, as if waiting for Melis to order the execution.
Meli didn't know what to think and didn't speak.
Ellie next to her walked out, she came to Charles and squatted down, stretched out her little hand to stroke the sparse hair.
"You are wrong, the Water God will still favor you."
The warm power of the God of Water made Charles' cold soul warm suddenly. He raised his head and saw a cute face with a look of pity in the other person's eyes.
It's like a mother comforting her child.
The restless heart immediately calmed down. His lips trembled, as if he had returned to his mother's arms.
"Are you saying true?"
Charles' business was shaking.
"It's true. The God of Water will not abandon his children. The God of Water does not care whether the children believe in her. For her, everyone has the same existence. It's wrong for you to think that way, Charles."
When Alia comforted people, she seemed to coax a child, but under the wrapping of divine power, Charles was really like a child.
The darkness in his heart was completely released in front of Alia, and the invisible pressure was directly shattered.
An old man over fifty years old was crying there. He cried and talked about his crimes, the most unworthy of the great Lord Water God.
Charles was regretting it. He cried and said that he should not pollute the water source because of jealousy, nor should he hold a grudge against others because of jealousy.
Alia smiled at the corner of her mouth and patted Charles on the back, comforting her: "It doesn't matter if you know the mistake, it's still a child."
Charles slowly calmed down, and he was still crawling there. After wiping away the tears, the old man stood up and bowed deeply to Alia.
"Thank you...that I felt the warmth of Lord Water God in you. May I ask you...?"
Facing the question from her child, Alia turned her head and looked at Gao Wen, blinking, meaning that she wanted him to explain.
Well, Alia knew she was stupid and gave the task of explaining it to her good friend.
"Ahem, Alia is the saint of the Water God Cult..."
Gao Wen said the thought-out rhetoric, but in fact Gao Wen also thought the reason he made up was ridiculous... But Charles, as the head of the branch of the Water God Cult, did not refute it at all, he thought it was true.
Because the breath of Lord Water God on Alia cannot be fake.
"Saint Madam, it's great that you can come over. I've been worried about what the children will do after I leave... I'm afraid I'll set a bad example for them."
After Charles calmed down, his image was very different from his previous one.
Alia didn't say anything, blinking at Gao Wen.
Gao Wen:...
Well, Gao Wen knows that this matter has to be handled by himself.
Gao Wen turned his head and looked at Meli. The two looked at each other for a moment. Meli nodded gently. She understood what Gao Wen meant.
The two of them have a very tacit understanding.
