Chapter 206 Silver Moon Church
"Lillian, please live with me for the next few days."
In the small garden filled with the fragrance of flowers and plants, Margaret stroked her daughter's hair with a smile, her eyes full of doting.
Lillian endured the feeling of being torn apart and continued to play the role of a daughter.
She enjoyed dinner at the Hoffmann family's. Everyone in the Hoffmann family was very nice to Lillian and did not dare to offend her. During dinner time, they even took out precious wines to please the distinguished guest from the Fischer family.
The status of the two families is completely different from what it was decades ago. The Fisher family is already the second largest family in the East Coast Province, and their family members are guests of honor among the smaller families.
"She is still very young and cannot drink alcohol."
When Margaret saw the drinks, she said this subconsciously, and everyone in the restaurant was stunned.
Then Lillian shook her head and smiled and said, "No, I can drink it. I have been an adult for a long time."
She is no longer that little girl.
"Hahahaha, yes, Lillian is not a child anymore, of course she can drink."
"Indeed, Cousin Margaret has always treated Lillian as a child."
Lillian drank the wine and then smiled at her mother.
I'm not a child anymore, sorry.
She couldn't sleep at night and stared blankly at the ceiling. Expanding the great territory of the Lost Lord was the most important and only mission in her life.
But mother is also very important. I must learn to disguise myself in front of her, just like my father, who never revealed the true secret of the Fisher family in front of her throughout his life.
"I can do it, I will..."
Lillian didn't sleep all night, but because she figured out what to do next, her interactions with her mother became much more natural.
The next morning, Lillian and Margaret had dinner together and talked about many things, but she tacitly kept silent about the Byrne and Fisher families.
"Lillian, it's rare for you to come here, why don't you come with me to the tea party." Margaret suddenly said with a smile, her tone was relaxed, but there was a little expectation in her eyes.
But she seemed afraid that her daughter would dislike her, so she was a little hesitant to make any requests.
"Yeah, okay, Mom."
Lillian did not refuse her mother's invitation. It was a rare few days since she came back, and she planned to fulfill all of Margaret's ideas.
So the two of them attended the tea party again in the afternoon, and soon Margaret proposed another thing, which was to let Lillian meet an unmarried baron, as if she wanted to bring them together.
Lillian, who had long wanted to devote herself to God, felt very uncomfortable, but she did not completely reject her mother. She just said that she did not have that much free time for the time being.
Margaret nodded slightly with a smile on her face, but she actually knew that the child was politely refusing.
On the afternoon when Lillian was about to leave Finn City and return to the Fisher family to deal with many things, Margaret finally made her final request.
"Will you accompany me to the Silver Moon Church, Margaret?"
Her eyes were very sincere and earnest, and it was obvious that this was the most important requirement.
Me, go to the Silver Moon Church?
Me?
Lillian was stunned for a while, and even wanted to laugh deep down.
Deep down in her heart, she truly felt that those false gods were ridiculous and hypocritical. It was they who made the whole world so chaotic. If there was a chance, Lillian even hoped to drive all six major orthodox churches out of the world!
"Okay, I'll go with you, Mom."
Margaret, her own mother, was a pagan.
Lillian was very disappointed and painful in her heart, but she still couldn't give up her love for her mother. She would be the only pagan she liked in the world.
Great Lord of the Lost.
Please forgive my mother's sins.
I hope that my life's dedication will bring you some sympathy for my mother, who was simply too ignorant.
After accompanying her mother to the Silver Moon Church, Lillian did not pray, but just stared at everyone calmly, observing the believers of those false gods. She felt uncomfortable with everyone except her mother.
The church built of white stones occupies a small area and does not have a majestic feeling, but instead gives people a quiet atmosphere.
The statue of Lady Silver Moon with a gentle face is located in the center of the church. No matter it is day or night, there will be a silver moon like a lake on the top of the church, constantly projecting subtle moonlight onto the statue of Lady Silver Moon, allowing all believers to feel a different kind of tranquility.
Lillian calmly observed the process of everyone's prayer. Many of Lady Silver Moon's teachings were similar to those of the Lord of Redemption, both of which were to help the weak and relieve the poor, but there were also many differences between the two.
The doctrine of the Lord of Redemption is more macroscopic. Priests would describe His great achievements in saving the world and so on, and believed that the means of redemption must also include punishing the wicked.
There are many small stories about Ms. Silver Moon’s rescues. She has saved a hundred different people, even many evil people, and they were all influenced. The story of saving a hundred people is the most familiar thing for Ms. Silver Moon’s believers.
She especially loves children and women, and many children and women have been saved because of Lady Silver Moon's miracles.
In addition to this, the Lord of Redemption has always been described as a powerful being, while Lady Silver Moon is the other side of the Sun, known for being humble and gentle, and trying not to fight with people or gods.
Lillian shook her head slowly, knowing that they were all useless false gods. The belief in the Lord of Redemption and Lady Silver Moon was actually just a hypocritical scam.
She had never really seen them save the world in her life. The only god who had truly helped the world was the great Lord of the Lost!
Finally, another morning came. The carriage had stopped in front of the Hoffman family's gate. The mother and daughter held hands and did not speak for a long time.
"Well, mother, I'm going home."
Lillian really felt a sense of relief that she had made it through. It was really tiring to play the role of a good daughter, but she had to do it.
"Well, Lillian...if only, if only Darren could come with you."
Margaret suddenly burst into tears and was a little emotionally broken. Lillian immediately coaxed her mother, knowing that she had been praying for her brother Darren.
She hugged her mother and said:
"Don't worry, Mom, my brother will be fine."
——
In Rhea.
As the bright sunshine fell, a man wearing an iron mask slowly walked out from a mountain forest with complex terrain, and behind him were seven Syat people, all of whom possessed extraordinary powers.
For several years, Darren did not choose to flee directly back to his homeland in the south, but stayed in Rhea and used his own power to harass the Rheans in the Meyer family camp.
"Old dog! We're going back to Syat!"
He looked at a scarred man and smiled.
Over the years, Darren destroyed the prison again and again, selecting different Syat prisoners to join himself, and gradually formed a combat team composed of completely extraordinary people.
Darren did not choose any ordinary people to join this team because their mobility was too poor and they were not suitable for guerrilla sabotage deep into the enemy's territory.
There was only one qualitatively transformed extraordinary person named "Old Dog" among their group of Syat people, and the rest were original extraordinary people. However, they could still rely on unity and cooperation to repeatedly disrupt the Rhea people's transportation, communications, reconnaissance, command, and supplies, constantly delaying and consuming the enemy.
The top monarch-level warriors simply did not have the time and energy to chase after such a weak group of Syat people, and the damage they caused was indeed not that great.
However, it is very difficult for the qualitatively transformed extraordinary people to chase them, and there is even the risk and possibility of being killed in return.
So they often made the Rheans very angry, but they were able to roam around successfully. The Rheans openly called this group of Syat people "wandering bugs."
Long-term battles are certainly not without risks. Darren's seven companions today are only those who are still alive. The number of companions who have died in the past few years is several times more.
"I can't achieve anything better if I stay any longer. If I keep delaying the promotion, it will affect my future. After all, life is limited."
He has made the decision to return to Nasir Town to ascend to the third step of the Shadow Path.
Only after possessing more powerful strength will Darren be able to inflict greater terror on the people of Rhea. There is still too little he can do now.
Darren looked far to the south and then turned around suddenly, opened his arms and said to everyone:
"I'm going back to Syat in the south. If you don't want to go back with me, you can still stay here! We will send those who want to stay to join Syat's main force first. In short, everyone, make your choice quickly!"
