The saint starts out by traveling around the world with a group of elves.

The scene inside the house was not as luxurious as the exterior. It was obvious that Sophia had decorated the place where she and her sister lived very well.

The decoration style tends to be fresh and simple, and the furniture is also very beautiful, which conforms to girls' aesthetic taste. Staying in such an environment will inevitably make people feel relaxed.

Chu Yi and the others were not polite to Sophia. Fanny and Xilin had already looked around curiously, while Chu Yi found a nice seat and sat down comfortably.

It feels like returning to my own home.

But Sophia didn't mind at all. On the contrary, Sophia and Femi were really happy that Chu Yi and the others were not so distant.

There is no need to be formal between good friends.

Soon, all the snacks were served. It is worth mentioning that the person who served the snacks was the little red-haired girl named Mary.

Although she is only 10 years old, Mary is extremely sensible. She has no intention of talking to Chu Yi and the others. Instead, she stands aside quietly. If anyone needs help, Mary will go over immediately.

The little face with a few freckles was full of seriousness and responsibility, and even the red hair on the forehead was soaked with sweat.

This is beyond the description of being sensible. Obviously, this red-haired little girl named Mary regards these things as tasks that she must complete.

Sofia and Femi would occasionally pay attention to Mary, but for some reason, the two sisters did not dissuade Mary from her hard work, nor did they intend to help. They just looked deep into Mary's eyes, occasionally revealing a trace of pity.

The careful Fanny noticed this, and when she looked at Mary, there was inevitably some confusion in her eyes.

But after all, Mary was just an ordinary ten-year-old girl, and a little too thin, so Mary didn't have much strength. When she was carrying a plate of fruit, Mary accidentally slipped.

"Be careful, Mary, are you okay?"

Fanny, who had been paying attention to Mary, happened to be not far away. She immediately stepped forward and supported Mary's thin body.

The little girl was still a little frightened at first, but facing Funi's gentle words and smile, feeling the warmth coming from Funi, Mary felt a long-lost sense of security in her heart.

"It's okay, I'm sorry, I was too careless."

But Mary did not linger in this warm embrace. Although she wanted to, the little girl quickly got up and picked up the fruit that had fallen on the ground. During this process, Mary did not even dare to look up at Fanny's face.

After watching it, Mary was afraid that she would burst into tears.

After Mary picked up the fruit, she hurried back to the kitchen. Now even Xilin noticed something was wrong, and she cast a probing look at Sophia.

"Sophia, Mary lives in your house, right? Where are her parents?"

Fanny guessed something, so she asked Sophia directly. After all, elves don't like to keep problems to themselves in front of their friends.

After hearing what Funi said, Sophia's expression was relatively calm, but Femi's expression was a little disappointed. Sophia did not rush to answer, but looked at Femi.

Femi understood. She said something to Xilin and then went to the kitchen. She was trying to delay Mary. Obviously, Sophia didn't want Mary to hear what she was going to say next.

"Fennie, Xilin, please take a seat first. The matter regarding Mary is actually a little complicated."

Sophia sighed. Her words aroused the curiosity of Fanny and Xilin, so they came to sit next to Chu Yi.

"Mary's parents have passed away and she is an orphan."

As soon as she sat down, Sophia answered Fanny's question. Without waiting for Fanny and Celine to react, Sophia continued and slowly told the story of Mary.

Mary's parents were killed by the gods.

Of course, this is just an excuse, at least that is the church’s explanation. Mary’s parents died because of their disrespect for the God of Light!

But is this really the case?

In fact, the source of all this lies in Mary's mother. Mary's mother has a medium affinity for the element of light, but Mary's mother is not a magician. There are many reasons for this, but the main reason is only one: Mary's mother is a commoner.

The church, or rather a certain nobleman behind the church, therefore set their sights on Mary's mother. What they were looking for were civilians with an affinity for light elements, and what they needed was also very simple, that is, their blood.

The specific reason is unclear, but the fact is that Mary's mother is not only a commoner, but also an ordinary person who has not embarked on the path of a magician. She perfectly meets the requirements of those behind the church.

Mary's mother was a devout believer in the God of Light. The church used some dirty tricks to make Mary's mother voluntarily donate her blood.

Every once in a while, the church would draw a considerable amount of blood from Mother Mary. Out of her faith in the God of Light, Mother Mary never resisted.

But she was just an ordinary person, how could she withstand such torture? Mary's mother's face became paler and paler every day, and her already thin body began to wither away.

Sadly, Mary's mother enjoyed all of this and never thought that someone was taking advantage of her devout faith in the God of Light to take her life.

After her last offering, she was drained dry. Mary's father witnessed it all and was then silenced. Mary became an orphan.

Sophia didn't say anything more at this point. She had no intention of explaining why Mary appeared in her house.

Fanny and Xilin were speechless. They seemed to be thinking about what was contained in the simple story told by Sophia.

Chu Yi looked at the silent Funi and Xilin. He did not rush to comfort them. Compared with the thousand years of tranquility in the Elf Forest, the human capital was actually not suitable for the elves to visit.

This place seems prosperous on the surface, but it is a stagnant pool behind the scenes. The gods have not shown any miracles for more than a thousand years, causing mortals, who only have a lifespan of a hundred years, to have some inappropriate thoughts.

Mary's story is just an insignificant microcosm. The stagnant water of the royal capital is devouring the lives of countless poor people every day.

And the common people are born to be pitiful.

Of course, Chu Yi didn’t intend to bring Fanny and Xilin to the human capital just to make himself feel upset.

Too much anger has been buried beneath this pool of stagnant water, and it is almost unable to be suppressed.

What Chu Yi wanted to bring Fanny and Xilin to witness was the beautiful fireworks that would bloom at the moment of its explosion.

This will be a wonderful scene enough.
