A few days after Katniss and Raul talks, the church held a grand ceremony for him, which was only semi-public, but still could be called a grand ceremony.

At the ceremony, the Son of the Holy Son gave Raul out of the church and granted him the position of head of the Paladin, as well as the duke who matched his position. This title is different from the other kings who were granted by the church. It was completely granted by the Holy Son God. It is a honorific title like the "First Cardinal", not hereditary, and there is no such thing as a captive.

At the ceremony, Katnis emphasized: "The Paladins, like the church, exist to serve God, just as the church pastors are servants of God and shepherds of God, the knights of the Paladins are also warriors of God and gatekeepers of God." She also proposed that in order to distinguish the knights of the Paladins from the knights of the secular kings, they will be called "paladins" in the future.

Then, the ceremony was completed smoothly.

All the bishops, pastors, and knights present were not shocked by Raul's sudden "change" position. On the contrary, they congratulated Raul one after another.

Through Katniss' previous methods of change, these smart people have vaguely guessed the meaning hidden behind this incident. For Raul, a leader of the Knights who can compete with the Pope in the future, they need to do their best to get along with him.

The only thing that was unhappy was probably the Bill, who had just become the cardinal.

During the entire ceremony, he was a little depressed and mocked himself: Maybe I will be the one with the least power among the popes.

Bill was not wrong with thinking this way. After Raul became the leader of the Paladins, Katniss indeed handed over the Knights in his hands to him, and also handed over the power that the Knights had already left the church, such as the guards and case trials.

According to the plan of change, the girl began to gradually fade out of the core power circle between the church and the Knights, but mediate it when the church and the Knights were in dispute due to running-in.

Gradually, the priest who had lost some power and the paladin who had gained some power were in a fight. After Katniss could not suppress the other party, he began to compromise and affirm each other.

They gradually felt that the current situation could actually be considered good.

However, at this moment, something new happened.

On that day, although the sun was bright, the weather in early spring was still a little cold. But Katnis, who was waiting for the port of Poseidon, didn't realize it. She only grabbed the shawl on her shoulder with her hands, not letting it be blown away by the naughty sea breeze, and then cast her amber eyes towards the distant sea level, hoping to see what she was waiting for in the first time.

After waiting for a long time, Henry, who was looking ahead, finally turned around and shouted at her, "Miss, I saw it, they are almost here!"

The huge sailboat made a dexterous turn in front of the harbor and leaned gently on the port where Katnis and the others were waiting. The sailors on the boat shouted, lowered the anchor, lowered the sail, and lowered the wooden board connecting the port.

The merchant Yao Xi poked his head out of the boat and saw Katnis not far away with sharp eyes. "Sir, Son!" He shouted happily, and was a little scared, "How dare you come here in person." After a pause, he smiled charmingly, "Don't worry, I'm picking you up safely, that lady!"

"Thank you so much." Katniss also laughed, "I'm really sorry for always bothering you like this."

"Where are these things that believers like us should do for God!"

Katniss nodded and suddenly thought about something again, "I have talked to Duke Raul, and he has written a letter for you to that close friend. This time I arrive at Holy Hills, don't forget to go to my place to get it."

Yao Xi thanked again.

While the two were talking, people were already walking down the boat.

They were old and young, and they all wore light gray robes of uniform styles—the robe was very similar to those worn by the church priests, but the embroidered on the back was not the Holy Cross but the pattern of a book.

Katnis looked at them carefully and found that most of them were vulgar and obviously not well educated. However, in this way, they could make people look different when they were mixed in the sailors - unlike the humble appearance of sailors when they faced the nobles, their unique and independent temperament.

It seems that the master really brought me some weird guys.

Katnis was thinking, and suddenly he heard another voice.

"You are Sister Katniss, right?" A little girl in a robe with a slightly curly red hair jumped to Katniss, asked, and without waiting for her to answer, she introduced herself, "I am Lilim Moore, first... Master's student, sister, just call me Lily or Lily."

Unlike Katnis who can get seasick, Lilim who got off the boat is still full of energy. Her youthful smile also infected Katnis and said with a smile, "Little Lily, hello, this is the first time we have met. I'm very happy to see you."

"Yeah!" Lilim nodded in agreement, "But although this is the first time we met, Lili also knows a lot about you, sister. - Master will often mention you in front of Richard and me." She was about to think of something, and then suddenly reached out and grabbed Katniss and shook it gently, "By the way, sister. Little Richard is also very good, don't worry." As she said, she couldn't help but pout, "Master he always praises him in front of me, saying, 'Lily, you must learn from Richard,', 'Lily, you are not obedient again, look at Richard, and reflect on it!"

Although Katnis knew that Lilim's words were compliments, she couldn't help but smile—especially when she heard that her brother was very good, she felt more relaxed, so she reached out to caress Lilim's head and said pity, "You are a little girl." As she said that, Katnis suddenly turned red again and asked in a low voice, "Master, Master, what did he say to me..."

Katniss came to the port to pick up Lilim, and Lilim was indeed a very pleasing little girl, so they got along well before long.

When they returned to Saint Hill, they sat in a carriage and kept talking about topics related to women and their masters.

As they talked further, Katniss gradually understood Lilim's nature.

The little girl in front of her is very spiritual and has wisdom far beyond the same age child. She talks about things and is smart in her behavior. Although she still reveals the shortcomings of not having much education, which is easy for people with discerning eyes to see, but Lilim, who also knows this, transforms it into her unique charm.

Lilim is a little goblin who is a little devil.

Now, Katnis, who was still worried, has relieved himself and no longer doubted whether Lilim could complete the master's order. But she also felt a little regretful to the little girl - if she could stay with her master for a few more years, the achievements she would have achieved in the future might be higher.

Katniss did not reveal such regret because she knew the master's difficulties. At the same time, she secretly made up her mind: no matter what, she would do her best to help the little girl.

－－－－－－－

Katnis placed the guys in the apartment that Yao Xi donated to God, and Lilim took them back to her home - because Katnis wanted to maintain a neutral position, it was no longer suitable to live in the palace.

After changing into a new environment, Lilim seemed a little excited. She looked at each room with a clear curiosity, but she suppressed her desire to take risks.

Then, it's the time for dinner.

Because there were only two people eating, Katnis chose a relatively inconsistent small restaurant. She shared with Lilim the fresh plants her owner brought to her, while Lilim donated the treasured candied fruits for dessert.

"Lily, it's easier when you're here." Katniss couldn't help saying this when he saw Lilym with a knife, "try to treat this as his home, and I think the master would like to see this."

"Okay, sister." Lilim nodded, but still fought with the tenacious steak according to the etiquette on the dining table. "But the master said that my eating habits are not very good... So maybe I am a little more ladylike, it will make him happier." She finally cut off a corner of the steak, happily put it into her mouth with a fork, chewing it without showing her teeth, and couldn't help wrinkling her nose. "And, from what the master said, I will often eat with those big guys in the future, right? Then they can't underestimate my tutor - these are all taught by the master!"

Speaking of this, Lilim suddenly sighed that she was not as old as her age, twisted her body uneasy, and looked at Katniss with her bright big eyes, "Sister, can you tell me to do what my master told me? Those who deal with me in the future are all big people. I didn't even see the men before."

Katnis smiled gently, wiped the greasy corners of her mouth with a napkin, and comforted her, "Little Lily will definitely do it - after today, Lily will become a big shot in Saint Hill City."

Lilim couldn't believe it, "I? Big man?"

"Of course, Lily, you are the only student whom the master teaches directly. With this alone, no one dares to underestimate you."

"That's it." Lilim nodded, not knowing whether he really understood it. "Then I will definitely not disappoint the master!"

－－－－－

The next day, Katniss led Lilim to the Holy Gang Palace.

This was originally a place for adults to work and rest in the church, but because of the rise of the paladins, they were forced to part it.

Looking at the clergy and paladins who were clearly separated from each other and did not look at each other, Katnis suddenly wanted to laugh: After today, maybe there will be another kind of person here.

She called her servant and soon invited Pope Roy, Cardinal Bill, and Duke Raul.

"Son, you are here today, what's the point of doing?" Because the girl no longer participates in the specific administration of the Pope, Bill asked this question in advance.

Then, like the other two, he discovered the little girl beside Katniss.

After seeing the robe that was very similar to the robe on Lilim's body, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Then he discovered that the collar of Lilim's robe was actually decorated with three gems - according to the new rules set by Katnis, these three gems marked that the little girl in front of him had the same identity as the Cardinal and Duke!

He was a little scared, thinking that this was the supervisor who Katnis was going to install into the church. He was about to ask, but unexpectedly discovered that the gem on the neckline of Lilim was not the diamond embroidered by the bishops, nor the ruby ​​decorated on the paladins' swords, but the blue crystal that had never been prescribed.

Bill couldn't help but be stunned, but Raul beside him had already asked calmly, "Son, is this lady..."

"She is Lilim Moore." Katniss smiled and introduced to everyone: "My Lord is his most proud student."

"The Lord's student?" The three adults spoke in unison, but their tones were different.

In this delicate atmosphere, Lilim took a step forward with encouragement from Katniss and said in a crisp childish voice, "Yes, we are students of my Lord. Under the guidance of the Lord, I have learned to develop the gift of my God to the world - Mana, and make it suitable for more occasions."

Lilim started a demonstration for them again. She waved her right hand and a vigorous flame jumped up in her hand. She spread her hands and told everyone to see it clearly. She held it and then the flames turned into crystal ice in the blink of an eye.

Such a power was nothing in front of the three of them, but they still saw something else from Lilim's actions - whether it was making flames or turning into ice, Lilim did not pray to God like them. It was as if... such power was what she and life brought.

"Heret!" Roy and the other three lost this word at the same time and drove it out immediately. Katniss had earlier corrected the name of those who could use inexplicable powers - those powers were not temptations from demons, but gifts from God to the world. Those people were just "wizards" who noticed this earlier and used them.

"So, Miss Lilim, you are a wizard." Roy nodded and said, and met Bill and smiled bitterly - since this lady was brought by the Son himself and called herself a student taught by God himself.

Then what will happen next is self-evident.

Sure enough, Lilim nodded and admitted, and said, "I came to Holy Gate in the name of my Lord. He asked me to run a wizard school here. He asked me to teach the world how to correctly use the gifts he gave us, and then let me teach the world how to truly understand God."

"Miss Lilim, please forgive me for speaking out - teaching the world how to serve my God devoutly is what our church should do. And this seems to be in conflict with your mission." Bill couldn't help but say.

"Conflict? No, sir, I don't think so... Your church will make the world rely on God from its sensibility, and my college will let the world know how to rationally understand the essence and intention of God." Lilim raised her little face, and a strange light shining on it. "The master once told me that believers can only believe in him more piously after fully understanding his actions. Like me, and us, are the best examples of this!"

Lilim looked around the other two again, "God once said to me: the church spreads doctrine to the world for him, the paladins guard the doctrine to the world for him, and we wizards teach the world for him to understand the doctrine - only when we cooperate with each other can the believers of the master be better taken care of - and this is our responsibility in this world!"

The Divine Realm is the supreme command, and no mortal dares to compete with it. The three adults present looked at the expression of the Holy Son and understood that this was true.
Chapter completed!
