The town of Bonn is located on the southeast coast of Ottersägers.
This place once belonged to a small principality, relying on the natural barrier of the eastern mountains and almost isolated from the world.
However, after the life revolution that spread here a few years ago, this humble principality also became part of the Eastern Sagas Alliance, abolishing the aristocracy like the rest of the continent.
Eastern Saigas, which was once unable to be conquered even by the Holy Mania Empire, was unified from within by relying on the power of civilians and mercenaries.
Then, comes the change of faith.
Many of the original beliefs in East Saigus disappeared one after another because they lost their connection with the gods.
At the same time, the Life Church began to spread rapidly here just like its expansion in other areas.
Today, even the isolated town of Bonn has officially settled in the Life Church.
It is said that this is the last town on the entire continent that has no alternative belief.
With the establishment of the Temple of Life in Bonn Town, the footprints of the Church of Life have completely covered the entire continent.
This is something that even the once powerful Eternal Church has failed to do...
Maria's village is not too far from the town of Bonn.
Climb over two hills, cross a river, and then cross a forest, you are here.
It was noon and the sun was high in the sky. This small town with a population of only about 5,000 people was much deserted than in the past.
Looking around, you can see the scattered buildings on both sides of the street are decorated with lights and colorful decorations. However, there are very few people on the road paved with stone.
Even the scattered pedestrians that could be seen were running in the same direction in a hurry.
They were talking about something as they ran, their expressions seemed quite excited, and their eyes were full of curiosity.
Looking at the direction people were going, Maria's heart moved, and she soon realized what was going on...
"Speaking of which, I saw it on the bulletin board at the entrance of the village two days ago. Today is the official completion day of the Temple of Life."
"Everyone in the town...should have gone to watch the ceremony, right?"
The girl murmured.
She took a deep breath, adjusted her clothes, and walked towards the direction where people gathered.
Speaking of which...her destination is also there.
The town of Bonn is not big. Compared with the large towns in the central and western parts of the mainland that often have tens of thousands of people, it can be called a pocket-sized town.
It only took Maria twenty minutes to walk from the east side of the town to the west side.
In front of the west square of the town, a temple with a pointed dome rose from the ground, and the golden scepter symbol on the top of the tower shone brightly in the sunlight.
The temple is surrounded by huge white stone pillars, decorated with exquisite patterns, and above the arched main entrance of the temple, the words "Temple of Life" are written in gorgeous and beautiful Elvish and standard continental common language. .
At this moment, the temple was already crowded with townspeople who came to watch the temple's inauguration ceremony. More than a dozen fully armed guards were standing up straight, maintaining order.
Maria recognized them. They were professional guards from the alliance. It is said that every one of them is a devout believer in life.
At the front of the temple, a tall figure wearing a white priest's robe was holding a golden "Sacred Scripture of Life" with his back to the crowd, shaking his head and reciting something.
Maria's eyes lit up when she saw the iconic priest's robe.
She wanted to step forward to take a look, but after taking a step, she hesitated.
Speaking of which, her views on Life Church are quite complicated.
This church destroyed her country, forcing her to remain anonymous and wander around.
But equally, it was this church that brought hope to the common people and changed the order of the entire continent.
Recalling that night ten years ago, the girl is still a little scared to this day.
There are endless rebels on the street, waving red flags, and firelights rising into the sky...
Although today, she has gradually understood what happened back then.
But every time she thought of the battle that night, the nobles who fell one by one, and the civilians who were torn to pieces by the nobles' charge, she still couldn't help but tremble.
Change always requires sacrifice, and war... even if it is just, will still bring destruction.
That night was the same.
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 were not for the protection of the teacher, it is very likely that she would have died in the anger of the rioting people, just like other nobles and even innocent civilians in the inner city.
The experience of that night has left a shadow in the girl's heart.
To this day.
Looking at the crowd gathered in front of the Temple of Life, the girl sighed and took back her steps.
Forget it.
It’s okay not to go there.
Although I want to say goodbye to that person, but... the other person's identity is the high-ranking priest of the Church of Life, and I am an anonymous and down-and-out royal family.
Speaking of which... the relationship between the two parties is originally hostile. Although she does not hate the Life Church deep down in her heart, but... if the other party knows her true identity, I am afraid they will not let her go. ?
After all, ten years have passed, and royalists still appear from time to time in the Republic of Mania and want to restore the empire. Although the Eternal Church has been completely replaced by the Life Church, the situation is far from completely stable.
Especially in the past few years, even the semi-reclusive Maria has heard some rumors about Mania from the taverns in the town from time to time. It seems that as time goes by, the suppressed noble forces have become more Ready to move...
Obviously... their strength is so bad.
Thinking of this, Maria felt a little strange again, wondering where those stupid remaining nobles got their courage.
Even if they also declare their willingness to support the Church of Life, they have already lost the support of the people. The so-called restoration... In the words of the elves, it is undoubtedly a reversal of history.
Although the girl didn’t understand what reversing meant.
Maria's thoughts were racing.
At this moment, warm applause and cheers came from the direction of the temple.
It seems that the priest's speech is over.
The girl raised her head and looked over, only to see the tall figure in front of the temple put down the holy book in his hand and slowly turned back.
However, when she saw the other party's appearance clearly, she couldn't help being slightly stunned.
Pointed ears, red hair, and a handsome face with a bit of a smile.
The girl recognized it. This was one of the chosen elves who participated in the construction of the temple with the arrival of the Church of Life some time ago. His name was Demacia, a somewhat cynical leader of the chosen ones.
However, this is not the person she is looking for.
She has never liked this kind of guy with an out-of-touch personality, even though he is a noble elf.
Especially since the other party was one of the promoters of the Great Revolution.
Maria felt uncomfortable when she thought that the fight that night was inseparable from the other party.
Not only that, when the Life Church first came here, she seemed to be recognized by the other party. If the adult from the church hadn't stopped the other party, maybe this guy would have blocked the door of her house and refused to leave. .
Difficult.
Maria rubbed her temples, and for a moment she even wondered whether the exposure of her identity might be related to the other party.
After all, the other party's reputation seems to be relatively subtle even among elves.
At this moment, a somewhat surprised voice came from behind her:
"Maria?"
The sound was crisp and pleasant, like a clear spring in the mountains.
Hearing that familiar voice, Maria suddenly woke up.
She felt happy and quickly turned back.
What came into view was a female elf wearing a white priest's robe. Like her, she had blond hair and blue eyes, but she gave people a sacred, dignified and unblasphemous aura.
She stood outside the crowd, looking at Maria with a smile.
Maria smiled too.
Her expression suddenly became respectful.
I saw her step forward and gently pinch the corners of the mage's robe, perform a standard lady's ceremony to the female elf, and say with a smile:
"Good afternoon, Ms. Feng."
