The door suddenly opened, and then the butler's voice came, "Got it, you come in first, the others wait outside."

Ivan nodded respectfully, walked into the room, waited for about a quarter of an hour, and came out again. When he left, he took Juno with him.

Fina felt the hand in her palm disappear and couldn't help but look up.

Juno smiled gently and mouthed "don't worry."

"Come in first!" The deacon's voice came from the room again.

As soon as Tia stepped into the room, she felt the room was full of heat. On the contrary, she felt a damp and cold gaze staring at her in the room.

There were many things that increased the temperature in the room, but even so, the clothes worn by the butler standing by the window were not thin.

Tia looked around the room and found that the furnishings in the room should be mostly the same as before, and the shelves were still filled with various things that the nobles liked.

Apart from those things that could heat up, there was only a table by the window with a thick book on it. It seemed that they had just occupied the city not long ago and had not had time to arrange it.

Tia's eyes quickly fell on the desk. Logically speaking, even if someone who was afraid of the cold wanted to raise the temperature in the room, they would not place it next to where they would stay for a long time.

This deacon seems to be particularly afraid of the cold?

The deacon turned and looked at the three people who came in. He immediately recognized that the clothes they were wearing were of extraordinary value.

"You are not ordinary civilians, are you? Although the clothes you are wearing are simple in style, the fabrics are not cheap."

Fina didn't expect that this person would speak like this. Those people just now didn't recognize her, and she thought she could get away with it.

Pierre scratched his hair, his brain spinning like smoke, when an idea suddenly struck him. His eyes lit up, and he took two steps forward with a flattering smile on his face.

"The deacon has good taste, unlike those others who don't know what's good. I thought I was going to see the true God, so I had to dress decently. So I used the money they had saved for me to get married and bought a few sets of clothes made of fine materials. I lied to them and said I got them at a bargain. I didn't expect them to actually believe me. They didn't even notice how such fine materials could be found at a bargain!"

When Fina heard this, her pupils dilated and she looked surprised. How come she didn't know that Pierre was such a good liar?

Tia pretended to have irregular breathing, "You...you! How could you do this? We saved all our money for you."

Fina beside her also quickly followed up after Tia finished speaking, "Yes, this is the money we worked so hard to save for you!"

"I've already told you this is my money, I can spend it however I want. Besides, I'm spending it on you guys!"

Although Pierre spoke in a firm tone, he couldn't help but hide behind the deacon.

The deacon looked at the three people making so much noise. If they weren't short of people, he would have driven them as far away as possible.

What gave him the most headache, of course, was Pierre who was hiding behind him. Although Ivan had just reminded him, he had not expected that a person could be so stupid.

The three of them looked at the deacon with a guilty conscience, and when they saw that the deacon didn't say anything, they could only continue arguing.

"That's enough. You three, follow me first."

The deacon felt annoyed when he saw these people and just wanted to kick them out quickly.

The three of them immediately stopped arguing and followed the deacon obediently.

Before leaving, the deacon put on a thick coat, led them out of the room, passed through the corridor of the Great Wall, and started to return the same way.

The three of them looked at each other in confusion and thought of the huge statue they saw on the way here.

After more than ten minutes, everyone standing in front of the statue in the square fell into deep thought.

Why not just gather here?

The deacon was already praying, and people passing by couldn't help but look over at Tia and the other two.

"Why do those people look so strange? It seems like I've never seen them before?"

"I said this person is not from our city. I wonder where the deacon brought this believer back from."

"I just saw it. Sir Ivan brought it back from the city gate."

"What did you just see? Do you know anything else? Tell me quickly."

……

After the deacon finished his prayer, he looked at the group of people around him and said, "Please remain silent, or renew your vows with me."

Upon hearing this, the people around fell silent, clasped their hands, closed their eyes, and faced the huge stone sculpture.

"Now, all of you, follow me and recite the oath." The deacon turned his back to the statue with an extremely serious expression.

"Great God Menelaos Aston, I pray to you devoutly. I am your most loyal believer. I pray that your divine light will cover me. I will dedicate everything I have to you."

The deacon's speech was not very fast, but his heart was filled with reverence, so his prayer was spoken with cadence.

In order to avoid being exposed, Pierre had no choice but to do as he was told. Fortunately, the eyes of the people around him were not focused on him, otherwise he would have been in trouble.

After reciting the oath, Pierre couldn't describe what he felt, but he just felt that the surroundings seemed a little colder.

Juno noticed the will-o'-the-wisp pattern that suddenly appeared on her left hand. She first looked at Tia and found that Tia's hand was empty. Then she looked at Pierre and found that the will-o'-the-wisp on Pierre's hand was even bigger than hers.

She didn't dare to be too ostentatious, but just slightly turned her body towards Tia, trying to block Tia's left hand.

Tia also noticed this strange thing the moment Juno looked at her. She did not choose to put her hands into her sleeves, but naturally crossed her hands together.

If I'm not mistaken, this should be a sign of faith in the evil god, but she just recited the oath. Could it be because Jesus helped her get rid of it before?

Tia thought about it again and thought about the last time she fell into a coma. Shouldn't such a pattern appear on her hand last time? If so, no one would have missed it.

Could these two be different evil gods? But no god would share his name with another.

Suddenly, Tia felt a chill approaching. She looked up unconsciously and found that the butler had walked in front of her without her knowing when.

"Stretch out your hand so I can see it." The deacon spoke word by word, feeling dissatisfied with Tia. How could someone be distracted right after reciting the oath!

Between running away and reaching out her hand, Tia chose the latter.
