Chapter 1109 The Story of the Past

More than enough…

Faced with such an exaggerated statement, he should have made people laugh or tried to persuade him, but in front of the other party's extremely confident look, Qiao was speechless for a moment.

But what’s even more incredible is yet to come.

He was asked to fully cooperate with this operation and must tell everything he knew. This was not beyond Joe's expectation. Since the King of Graycastle agreed to rescue Farina, he must understand the situation on Grand Duke Island in detail. Since they had been lurking on the island for half a year, they were naturally the most familiar group of people.

Of course, the other party may also interrogate other things, and Qiao also plans to reveal them all. No church secrets or divine scriptures are as important as Farina's life. As long as he knows, he is willing to explain.

But after walking into the cabin, Joe found that he had no idea about the thoughts of Roland Wimbledon, an old opponent who had been fighting with the church for many years and finally destroyed the Holy City of Hermes.

It was neither an intelligence interrogation nor an operational meeting.

Sitting at one end of the long table is the drama master from Graycastle, Cajin Faith.

"Just answer whatever he asks." After Sean said this, he left the cabin, leaving only Joe with a blank face, staring at the other party blankly.

While still in the New Holy City, he watched a touring performance by a Cajun troupe.

Although nearly ten years had passed, his memory told him that the old man in front of him was undoubtedly Cajin himself.

What exactly is going on in the King of Graycastle's head?

What came with the ship was not an army, but a famous theater troupe... Is this team really here to save people?

"Sit down, kid." Cajun nodded towards him, "Would you like a cup of tea or some wine?"

"Tea...just fine."

A good-looking woman quickly brought a cup of hot tea in front of him.

"This is my disciple, Miss Roentgen."

"Ah... thank you." Joe replied in a daze. If it weren't for the shackles on his wrists and ankles, he would have thought it was a dream. "Why are you here?"

"Because of an agreement with His Majesty." Cajin smiled, "Originally, we should have talked in a more comfortable environment, but they said nothing and would not agree to remove your shackles."

"No, that's fine..." he murmured, "What do you want to ask me...?"

"Story about Falina, and your story."

Qiao looked at the other party in disbelief, "You mean, the matter between me... and her?"

"Yes, I want to know when you joined the church, how you met, and why she fell into Lorenzo's hands." Cajin replied slowly.

"Farina...Farina, she..." As soon as she mentioned this name, a cramping feeling surged up. He had been trying his best not to think about her before, but the memories were like a tide. Once they started, it was difficult to hold them back. As soon as he opened his mouth, the words were choked in his throat and his eyes became blurry.

Falina was just a very ordinary civilian woman when she first joined the church.

The robe was large and rough, and the patches were so dirty that the color could not be seen clearly. His hands and feet were swollen from the cold, as cold as carrots.

Even on the way to the Hermes Plateau, if she hadn't encountered the carriage he hired, she might have died on the way.

And he is a nobleman whose family is in decline. He has nothing but his surname. He goes to church just to try his luck.

The Holy City does not care about birth origin and will not reject any convert.

Because of his literacy, he was assigned to the line of priests and became a scribe.

Falina became an apprentice warrior.

This made Joe quite unhappy.

Priests and warriors are two equal institutions in the Holy City. In other words, a commoner woman has become someone of equal status to him, not to mention that he rescued her casually. In his eyes, Falina should be a handyman such as a cook or a washerwoman.

What annoyed him even more was that after the other party had rested for a while, he actually looked pretty good.

Then the reason for being chosen as a samurai is very questionable.

And this was supposed to be for him to enjoy.

Taking advantage of his position, he often made tricks on Farina and even humiliated her in person. Falina never spoke back, which further fueled his arrogance.

But in the following years, this young woman showed her talent bit by bit, like a gem that was gradually being carved into shape.

Falina was quickly promoted from a trainee warrior to a reserve judge army, and then to a full judge army and the captain of the judge army.

Every time during the evil moon, Qiao could always see her figure on the fortress wall.

And he was promoted from scribe to assistant priest.

The other party is already on top.

He had paid extremely close attention to Falina's every move, for fear that she would retaliate against him. But the latter never took any action, and his attention turned into a habit.

Joe slowly discovers that she is not as ordinary as she thought.

Then the fourth prince of Graycastle came.

The Pope died, the Legion of Divine Punishment was destroyed, the cathedral collapsed, and the huge Hermes Church seemed to fall apart overnight.

Countless believers fled the Holy City overnight, and Farina took over the task at the critical moment, supporting the crumbling Judgment Legion on one shoulder. He even pulled him out of the crowd during the civil strife... If it hadn't been for that hand, he would have been trampled to pieces by the refugees.

At that moment, he seemed to understand something.

After the defeat at Hanfeng Ridge, Farina was not the highest-ranking person in the church. There are still chief priests, chief judges and high-ranking legion commanders in the holy city. The reason why she was entrusted with the responsibility of defending the Holy City was not so much that she valued it, but rather that it was shirk and abandonment. The same goes for Tucker Thor's election as acting pope. Everyone knew that it was impossible to defend the Holy City, but no one wanted to take the blame on themselves. At the same time, they need someone to temporarily stabilize the situation in the Holy City to buy time for their escape.

So the strange scene of a twenty-year-old woman becoming the supreme commander of the Judgment Army appeared in Hermes. The irony is that she tried her best to gradually restore order to the old and new holy cities, but the high-level officials left behind became increasingly unstable. It's not uncommon for people to leave the building empty at night. Until the end of the Evil Month, there were only more than 500 Judgment Warriors left in the Holy City.

She was thrown to Roland Wimbledon by those people - as a victim of delaying time.

Does Farina know nothing about this?

No, she knew the significance of this duty from the beginning.

But she still stood up without hesitation and spared no effort to do her best.

Just because the church accepted her and trained her until now.

It was like she had never retaliated against herself, not even a scolding.

Just because he gave her a ride.

Seeing Falina running back and forth covered in sweat and standing at the top of the city shouting loudly, Qiao felt something in his heart was touched. Her little figure swinging under the white snow in the sky is so eye-catching; the sweat dripping from the tip of her nose is more dazzling than gems.

To Joe, the church was just a place of speculation. He should have left long ago, but he chose to stay.

It has nothing to do with gods.

He swore an oath to Farina in his heart and swore allegiance.

It is not the allegiance of believers who obey the command of the Judgment Army.

Rather, knights follow the allegiance of those they protect.

He fell in love with her.
