Raphael gave the ring to Jiang Jiang, and considerately cast a small spell to prevent the ring from being seen by others.
"I like it!" Jiang Jiang looked at the ring on her finger in surprise. It was even more delicate than the one she had originally designed for the craftsman. She didn't know what method Raphael had used to make the already shiny metal even more radiant. The gemstones inlaid on it were also varieties she had never seen before. "It's a pity that it can't be seen by others."
Normally, a saint cannot get engaged while in office.
"If you need it," Raphael said seriously, "I can send down an oracle and declare you my wife."
Jiang Jiang quickly stopped him: "When I am qualified to stand with you, I will take the initiative to seek an oracle."
Declaring it now is no big deal for either Raphael or her.
She wanted to prove that her efforts and talent were meaningful, and that the magic she learned day and night was meaningful. But if someone discovered her relationship with Raphael before that, then she would be completely regarded as his appendage in the eyes of others.
"I'm fine." Raphael coaxed her with words like coaxing a child, "Let's work hard together."
She worked harder than the other nuns in expanding her tendons, adapting her strength, and learning spells. While he was protecting her, she was also protecting him in her own way.

The accident happened in a remote village.
Because it is close to the border barrier, few young people are willing to stay in the village. In order to protect the safety of the elderly and children, the empire has specially stationed soldiers there, so fortunately there are not many casualties.
They were surrounded by monsters and were fighting hard, but Jiang Jiang saw the magical aura flashing inside and knew they probably wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.
As soon as possible.
The silver-haired and silver-eyed paladin had led the others into the encirclement of the monsters. The knight's sword was shrouded in holy light, and the damage to the monsters was remarkable.
Jiang Jiang silently chanted a spell in her heart, and a pure halo spread out from her body, covering everyone present with her as the center.

Byron has been holding on for three days.
He is the leader of the soldiers stationed in Ogu Village. Previously, the royal astrologer had predicted that a loophole in the barrier would appear in the area around Ogu Village.
But he felt that it was just a blind cat catching a dead mouse.
That mediocre guy mentioned dozens of villages in a row!
The problem is that there are only about a hundred villages on the edge of the barrier, and the barriers near some of these villages can be confirmed to be complete.
The probability is nearly one in two, and that idiot is just guessing.
But His Majesty also believed in him, so the originally large team was divided into more than 50 small teams.
There are only about a dozen of them.
"I can't hold on any longer..." A soldier behind him said weakly, "When will support from the Holy See arrive?"
"It should be soon," Byron comforted him. "Hold on a little longer, kid. We have the villagers behind us. If we fall, the monsters will tear them apart in an instant."
However, ever since the sky was covered by flying monsters, these soldiers and civilians who believed in the God of Light have never seen Light again.
This is a terrifying thing. All the clocks were destroyed in the battle and they have lost their sense of time.
The only thing that supports them is responsibility and a glimmer of hope.
