Chapter 259 The Confrontation in the Church; An Old Friend of the Vatican: Deacon Hoan
Lorenwei faced the loud conversation outside the church, but received no response.
After a moment of silence, a student asked curiously, "Is Sally really here?"
"I don't know, I didn't see it."
"Is she really not coming?"
"If you don't come, the charges of using a false identity and impersonating a descendant of a sword saint and hero will be firmly established."
"Yeah, nobody believes her anymore."
Sylph glanced anxiously at Lorenwei, then looked into the distance.
Kula, fearing that Lorenwei would lose face, deliberately walked slowly over to her side and whispered, "She wouldn't really not come, would she?"
Princess wanted to bring Lorenvi back, but Lorenvi stood confidently at the door: "Don't worry, she'll definitely come if she hears this. My words will surely provoke her out."
"Because she cares a lot about her mother?"
"Yes. The root of her inferiority complex is her identity as a mother. But she loves her mother very much. She can tolerate criticism, but she absolutely does not want her mother to be maliciously slandered. Even if what is said is true, she does not want her mother to be insulted."
Sylph had also come up and agreed when she heard this: "Yes, Lorenve is right. I couldn't think of it myself, but after hearing her say it, it's true."
Before the words were finished, a female swordsman walked over from a distance.
The female swordsman's attire was very simple, and her equipment was a very standardized school uniform, which was the basic outfit that could be exchanged with coins, making her look a bit shabby.
Especially under the moonlight, when someone walks from afar, the feeling of loneliness is even more intense.
"Oh, doesn't she look a little pitiful?" Kurara whispered in Lorenwei's ear.
Lorenwei shrank back slightly from the hot breath she was breathing: "Don't be silly, I just felt sorry for her, it has nothing to do with Chuchu."
Who is Chu Chu?
"I was just joking, haha."
Sally came over.
She walked slowly at first, but when Lorenwei waved to her, she only paused slightly before quickly walking over.
The female swordsman who arrived was Sally.
“Great! You’re my teammate now.” Lorenwei gave her a thumbs up, then made way for her and walked into the church.
Sally's face was slightly flushed, and she was clearly very reserved under the gaze of hundreds of people as she followed Lorenwei and the other two inside.
A perceptive girl whispered to her classmate, "Hey, did you notice? I thought Sally was Lorenwei's friend, but it seems she isn't."
"How to say?"
"Watch how they walk."
Some students noticed. Sally wasn't walking very closely with Lorenwei.
Unlike Sylph and Kurara, who walked closely alongside Lorenve, she walked slightly slower than them, clearly not yet fully integrated.
“Now, you are our teammate. We will participate in the confrontation with you.” Lorenwei did not sit back in the first row of prayer chairs, but stood opposite the Lorenwei Care Team.
Some members of the Lorenwei Care Group began to consider leaving.
The old priest presided over the meeting, and the Loren Care Group was practically the opposite of Lorenwei's side.
“How about…we…” The female staff member of the charity group hesitated, wanting to back out.
She wasn't the only one; many girls' eyes flickered.
These girls joined the team because of Lorenwei, and now that they are in opposition to their idol or romantic fantasy, they immediately waver.
"Everyone, don't have any other ideas! We're here today to expose Sally's hypocritical mask through confrontation!" The female leader, as expected of the girl with glasses, quickly found a solid position for her side. "We're doing this for Lorenve!"
The team, which was on the verge of collapse, has stabilized somewhat.
At this moment, Lorenwei's words once again caused a division within their team. Her calm voice rang out: "What if I said that what you're doing is foolish?"
The female leader, sharp-tongued, immediately seized the opportunity: "No, no, Lorenve, you've been fooled by Sally! She's trying to use her status as the daughter of a hero to get close to you! After all, you're also a descendant of a hero, which gives you a basis for interaction. Otherwise, with her status as the daughter of a fortune teller, she wouldn't even be worthy of standing next to you!"
"You heard what I just said. She's not just standing by my side, she's my teammate. Are you questioning my judgment in choosing teammates, or..."
"No, no, I'm just indignant that she deceived everyone in the academy! She lied and claimed to be the daughter of a sword saint hero, but I have ample evidence to prove she's lying!" The female captain dared not argue with Lorenwei any further, realizing that Lorenwei was very much on Sally's side.
Some girls were furious: Lorenwei's sympathy for Sally must be because Sally seduced Lorenwei with her pretty face!
Sally initially looked at Lorenwei with gratitude, but upon hearing the leader's words, her body trembled slightly.
In fact, she doubted her own identity more than anyone else.
From childhood to adulthood, she had never imagined having a remarkable lineage. It wasn't until she entered the academy that her mother suddenly revealed in front of everyone that her father was actually the deceased Sword Saint Mu Zhe, leaving her utterly shocked and incredulous!
"Ahem, Your Excellency Lorenwei, I believe that empty arguments will not uncover the truth. Let me hear what evidence your Caring Group leader has."
Lorenwei remained silent, then looked at Sally: "This is your confrontation."
“I… okay.” Sally steeled herself and walked in front of Lorenwei, facing the leader of the girl group directly.
"Hmph, Sally, at least you didn't hide behind Lorenwei, so you still have some sense of responsibility. Listen carefully, I didn't say this relic is fake, but whether it's your father's relic... Hmph!" The female leader very accurately grasped the crux of the evidence, went straight to the point, and even kept everyone in suspense.
"I can vouch for her! That wasn't her father's keepsake!"
"It was bought by her shameless fortune teller mother!"
The two girls' voices belonged to the two girls, one tall and one short, who were standing behind the group leader and had previously bullied Sally.
The wounds inflicted by Sylph's arrows had long since been healed by magic, and now, disregarding the fact that the female elf had been relatively lenient, they jumped out to attack Sally.
Sally's eyes flashed with anger when she heard them insult her mother again.
A buzzing sound came from inside the church.
The students started talking about it.
The vast majority of people also felt that there might be a problem with it.
Sally's face turned bright red.
She was also very worried about this. She even seriously suspected that her mother had bought the relic for a single gold coin.
"Silence!" The priest immediately silenced the noisy students. "Head of the female group, surely the evidence you're giving us doesn't only include those two?"
"Of course not." The female leader smiled smugly. "I have invited a distinguished guest."
She beckoned, and a girl quickly ran out and led over a figure dressed in the same priest's robes, but with silver trim, accompanied by two papal servants.
Lorenwei and Sylph were taken aback when they saw who it was.
"Your Excellency!" The old priest bowed humbly upon seeing the newcomer.
Deacon is a position within the Holy Pope that is below bishops and above priests.
"Hmph, you didn't expect that, did you? I was able to invite Deacon Huo An!" The female leader was even more smug.
Deacon Huo'an had graying temples and, although he had a kind face, he possessed the solemn and dignified air of a high-ranking clergyman.
After exchanging pleasantries with the old priest, Hoan immediately turned to Lorenwei: "Seeing my old friend's daughter has given me quite a few thoughts."
Lorenwei didn't speak, but simply nodded slightly.
"We're here today for the confrontation over the sacred relic. We'll talk again later." Deacon Hoan wasn't offended; instead, he offered himself an out. The two didn't know each other; he only knew beforehand that Lorenvie was here and about her identity.
Deacon Hoan nodded slightly to Kurara, who quickly performed the proper lady-like etiquette.
Then, his gaze swept over the other women, but Sally didn't let him linger for long. However, when his gaze swept over Sylph, he paused for a moment.
But he quickly came to his senses, smiled slightly, nodded in acknowledgment, and then looked away.
Why does this elf remind me of Lady Sylph? Deacon Hoan had a question in his mind, but he didn't connect the green-haired female elf to the blonde heroine from back then.
Lorenve and Sylph were overwhelmed with emotion as they reminisced.
They both knew this Deacon Huo An; to be precise, they knew each other in a past life.
Especially Lorenwei, because it was Huo An who divinely ordained her that she would die in the final battle against the Demon King!
The prophecy from the gods was true, and Lorenwei never doubted it. Her intuition as a time traveler at the time also told her it was true.
This Deacon Huo An is indeed a capable person, but I don't know why he was invited by the Care Group.
Lorenwei glanced at the leader of the care group, the girl with glasses. How could she have such great power?
The girl with glasses noticed Lorenwei's gaze and quickly lowered her head, secretly pleased: Lorenwei is looking at me seriously for the first time! I did a great job!
Moreover, it just so happens that Deacon Huo An knows the truth about the sacred relic; this is truly fate!
It was incredibly wise of me to finally persuade my father to invite Deacon Huo An, who was visiting the family at the time!
Even if it's a bit like I'm going against Lorenwei, at least I've left a mark on her heart!
What I fear most is that, like before, I'll drop things three times in front of Lorenwei without her noticing...
The girl with glasses felt wronged.
Of course, Lorenwei really didn't notice her, and even less did she notice that she deliberately dropped things in front of her three times.
Mainly because her figure wasn't really Lorenwei's type, I don't remember her much...
At this point, the old priest had already begun to introduce Deacon Huo An's identity on the spot.
Deacon Huo glanced at the head of the care group, then carefully examined the sacred relics displayed on the high platform in the center of the church before turning to everyone in the church and loudly announcing the reason for his presence:
“I have been searching for this relic for many years. As far as I know, this relic has changed hands many times and is not a memento left by a father to his daughter!”
The church erupted in uproar.
Chapter 260 The Truth Revealed? No, the Relic Has a Mechanism!
The old priest cautiously asked again, "Your Excellency, do you mean that this relic is not fake, but it was bought from the market, is that right?"
The deacon spoke very cautiously: "I dare not say that it was bought from Sally's family. But according to my investigation, this relic has been bought and sold many times."
Deacon Huo made himself very clear, and everyone heard him.
"The relics were resold?"
