Female priests: Can pastors only be bullied?

After an unknown amount of time, Darien, who had been sleeping, slowly opened his eyes.

The vision is blurry, but you can vaguely see the light brown ceiling.

"Where...am I...?"

She found herself lying on a soft bed. When she tried to get up, she found that she had no strength to do so.

Darien looked around blankly. The furnishings around were very simple. Apart from a table, a cabinet and some common furniture, there seemed to be nothing else.

"Where's A-Tong..."

Darien murmured, she seemed to be somewhat dependent on Ito.

......

——Seventeen minutes later.

The tightly closed door was pushed open from outside, and Ito, wearing a black robe, walked in with hot water.

Darien was also attracted by the sound of the door opening. She turned around and saw that it was Ateng. Her eyes lit up instantly and she said in a weak but slightly anxious voice:

"Ato..."

The word "Ato" made Ito quickly notice that she had woken up.

Instantly, his eyes lit up.

"Alian! You finally woke up!"

Ito walked up quickly, sat down beside Darlene's bed, and asked with concern:

"Alian, how are you feeling now? Are you feeling unwell?"

Darien shook her head weakly, her voice hoarse:

"No, I'm not feeling unwell... I just feel a little weak."

"Well, I'm glad you're okay. You're really weak now. You've been lying down for a whole day."

"one day......?

So now we——"

Darien wanted to ask where they were now. She had been lying there for a whole day without anyone noticing. Did the plan fail? Were they still in the seaside town?

Ito naturally understood what she meant and smiled gently:

"Don't worry, thanks to you, we successfully arrived at the Communist ally country Moshiri."

Ito reached out and grasped Darien's cold left hand, speaking softly:

"Thanks to the help of Alian and Xinlai, I was able to reach Moshiri smoothly. Thank you so much."

Hearing this, Darien forced a sincere smile on his pale face:

"Really... We're here, that's great, I'm really happy to be able to help A-Teng."

"Well, thank you, Alain.

You should lie down in bed and rest for now. Most of your weakness has been offset by my holy light magic.

I think I can recover after a few hours of rest."

"Um......"

Looking at Ateng who was so close to her, Darien's heart couldn't help but beat violently.

"Atou is really a very gentle person..."

......

——Three hours later.

January 12 at 29:3 pm.

“Atou, um…I’m feeling much better now and can move around normally.

Moreover, I could feel a powerful energy deep inside my body.

This may be the magic that Ateng mentioned. "

Seeing that Darien was able to walk, Ito couldn't help but smile:

"Really? It would be great if she could recover, and the magic seal on A-Lian has also been lifted.

Then maybe I can use magic."

"Atou, tomorrow should be the merit ceremony for the brave team, right?"

"Ah."

"In that case...Atou is going to meet your companions tomorrow?"

Ito shook his head:

"No, I plan to meet them tonight."

"Tonight?...Does Ateng know where they are?"

"It's obvious. Where else can they be except in the palace of this city? And now that you have recovered, we can go to the palace to find them in the evening."

"I understand."

......

In the evening, 10 o'clock sharp.

Even at night, the city is still brightly lit, and the red lights illuminate the dark land.

In the forest not far from the palace, two dark shadows appeared among the rustling grass.

"Alian, just follow my instructions and don't get caught."

Before the action, Ito repeatedly gave Darien instructions.

"Yes! I will definitely listen to Ateng."

Darlene nodded firmly, her hands slowly clenched, determined not to hold Ateng back.

"The gates are heavily guarded, and although there are guards guarding the walls of the palace, their number is not large...

We can get into the palace by climbing the wall, but..."

Ito looked at the searchlights on the four corners of the palace's tall towers.

“I really don’t understand how this facility can be like a prison… If we get photographed, we’re done for.

In short, the risk of the wall is quite high... unless there is some special means to extinguish the searchlight."

"Ato."

Darien pulled on the corner of Ito's clothes.

"what happened?"

Izuku looked at her suspiciously.

"Actually, I think we can invade the palace from the water."

"Huh? In the water?"

"Yes, in the water."

Following the direction of Darien's finger, Ito saw a stream not far away.

"From that stream?"

"Yes, that's right. We can sneak into the palace through the water. Generally, the stream outside the palace wall will flow into the palace. If we start from the end of the stream, we should not be discovered by the searchlight."

"Oi, that does make sense. Generally, the streams outside the palace walls are natural. So during construction, in order to maintain the natural ecological beauty of the palace, this natural stream will not be eliminated.

It is indeed possible to swim in from the stream... I didn't expect A-Lian to be so smart."

"Ahahaha... no, no..."

"That being said...but I may not be very good at swimming."

"It's okay, Ateng. I'll take you with me when the time comes. All you have to do is hold your breath."

"Well... since you said so, I'll listen to you."

After several operations by Darien and at night, Ito finally succeeded in entering the interior of the palace.

It was extremely easy for the experienced Ito and the agile Darien to avoid the sight of the patrolling guards.

Along the way, the two of them concealed their whereabouts very well and no one discovered them.

only--

Along the way, Ito searched more than a dozen rooms, big and small, but found no trace of the brave team.

“It’s really strange…I didn’t find them along the way.

Isn’t it in the palace? This should be impossible. Tomorrow is the medal awarding ceremony...”

Ito raised his eyes and looked towards the third floor of the palace.

"There's only one floor left to search... I just hope they can get to the next floor."
