At this moment, the light of the crystal ball suddenly became extremely dazzling, and an ecstatic smile appeared on Kart's face.

The knight, who had always been serious and aloof, showed such an expression, which made the villagers confused.

But Carter no longer cared about controlling his expression. He stretched out his hand and pointed at the beautiful girl who looked particularly beautiful in the crowd.

It was exactly where Claire was, and her heart couldn't help but tighten.

His whole body was tense, thinking about what kind of killing move to use, trying to kill the enemy with one blow and kill the other soldiers at the same time.

"Fortunately, I've already learned the memory cleansing technique, so I can still deal with ordinary people."

Just when the atmosphere reached a tense point, Karl's finger passed from Claire to Arya.

"Eh?"

Miss Arya looked confused and didn't understand what was going on.

Karl knew that if he didn't explain it clearly, it might cause a certain degree of panic.

He took a deep breath and spoke in a calm tone, "Young lady, you have a strong aura of holy light. This power is what we in the Argonne Church have been searching for."

He looked around at the villagers' confused and nervous faces and continued, "One of my missions here is to find some gifted young girls for the Argonne Church to serve as candidate saints. This young lady is someone with special gifts that I found in this village."

"Ah, the saint? Is it like what is described in the storybook?" a young villager asked curiously.

"Alger, you're rich now!" another villager joked, causing people around to laugh.

Alger, Arya's father, was so overwhelmed with joy that words could not describe it. He excitedly picked up Arya and held her tightly in his arms.

"Sir Knight, is this true?" Alger asked Carter excitedly.

In any case, if Arya really becomes a saint, their family and even the entire village will benefit greatly.

Almost every child understands this.

"A Holy Knight never tells lies! Arya possesses the holy power of light that our Argonne Church has been searching for. She will become our candidate for Holy Maiden. From now on, she will receive our teachings and training, becoming a true Holy Maiden, bringing light and hope to this world."

"Is it really like this?" Claire couldn't help but ponder as she looked at the crowd immersed in the revelry.

Claire had read about the Saint of the Argonne Church in history books, but she had never heard of a candidate Saint. There was only one Saint, a woman chosen by the Church who possessed extraordinary powers of light and transcended common sense.

Was there a reform later?

But at this time, Claire also expressed her blessings to Arya.

By the second half of the night, Maitland ended the carnival atmosphere and quieted down.

Alya came to Claire's house privately, "Claire, why don't you come with me to the capital... I'm scared to go alone."

She had never left the Forsyth area since she was a child, let alone going to the distant royal capital, which was simply too difficult for her.

The longing for the distant life of the so-called "saint" and the fear of unknown places.

Or maybe both.

Claire stroked Arya's black hair and said softly, "Don't be silly. This is your chance. Besides, how am I supposed to go?"

"Carlt...that's the knight. He's very friendly. I asked him if he could bring a friend with me, and he agreed."

What? We're calling each other by name already?

Claire became wary.

"I really should go." Claire said to herself.

However, if the magician's identity is exposed, or even the witch's identity is revealed, who knows what dangerous things will happen.

But she still had to go. Of course, it wasn't because she was worried that the cabbage she had worked so hard to cultivate would be eaten by pigs in the capital.

But she had to make sure that what the knight said was true.

Claire thought that since the true identities of Carter and others had been confirmed by the Forsyth Church.

Whether they are priests, pastors or nuns, there is no question about their identities.

Then their identities can indeed be trusted.

But now is a time of war, and it is said that hundreds of thousands of casualties have been caused on the border.

In this troubled time, the Argonne Church actually sent people to the border to look for candidates for the Saint. If it was really the church, that would be fine. After all, the Argonne Church has a good reputation in the book.

What if it’s not?

Or, this time of year...

There were too many confusions that puzzled Claire.

"No, Alya, there's no way I can go." Claire flatly refused.

This was of course false. Claire was worried about her, so she planned to follow her secretly to ensure her safety on the road and to verify whether what Karl said was true.

"Why? Uncle Lin will definitely agree."

"That's not the problem."

Seeing that Arya's spirit was a little off, Claire quickly said, "It's not that I won't go. It's just that I have some things to deal with."

"whats the matter?"

Claire felt bitter in her heart, and for a moment she couldn't find any excuse to prevaricate.

Suddenly she had an idea and said, "Look, I've been going out a lot recently."

Arya nodded.

"Actually, you know the merchant Blair, he often comes to the village to buy goods."

"He used to send me some books to read. A while ago, he said there was a delivery point in the mountains, but it was short of staff and no one was running it. So he asked me if I wanted to go and take a look. I've been busy with this a lot lately."

"You know I'm a man of my word. So I can't leave until the agreement is completed."

I'm sorry, Arya, I've lied to you again.

"Then when will you come to find me?" Arya's eyes darkened.

"The capital isn't far away. I'll catch the merchant Blair's caravan next month and go find you there!"

......

Another round of sweet words made Arya half-believing and half-suffering, and comforted Arya's fragile heart.

At this moment, Claire was already calm and watched the actions of Knight Carter with cold eyes.

Kart was also confused as to why the blonde girl kept staring at him.

Could it be that she has a crush on me?

Oh, yes, she is Arya's friend. She must be very worried about Arya at this time. What a good girl.

Just when Carter wanted to go over and chat with her, he found that Claire had slipped away without him noticing.

Claire returned home and repeated what she had said to Alya.

"Claire? Are you really going to go into business with Blair?"

Blair was now considered a good friend of Lin En's, but he had never heard of this. To be honest, he was a little skeptical.

"He invited me privately. Look, here's the letter."
