Chapter 369: Ninja Turtles!
Kanor explained to the Lady of Light and Janine Irene without showing any emotion. Although Dorothy felt something was a bit strange, she fully trusted her Martial Sister Kanor and cooperated well.
"Yes, before today, I had not thought about the possibility of her being the Lady of Light… because these traits are what she has shown for the first time."
Dorothy agreed with Kanor.
After the Lady of Light heard Kanor and Dorothy’s words, she accepted this idea after a brief silence.
"I see, my senior indeed doesn’t want to reveal herself."
The Lady of Light found a reasonable explanation by herself.
When Kanor heard the Lady of Light’s words, she continued to play the role of a villain, responding coldly and mocking the Lady of Light.
"I suppose the memories that your church gave her are not very pleasant, right? The past is too painful to remember, so she doesn’t want to talk about it… Well, I do feel a bit sorry for Master Lolth."
As Kanor said this, Janine Irene showed an angry expression.
"What are you talking about?!"
"She’s just an eight-year-old girl. Have you ever seen the church? Have you ever seen the splendor of the Holy Capital? You have never even experienced the Lord’s glory and love, and yet you speak so boldly here!"
Janine Irene said angrily to Kanor.
When Kanor heard Janine Irene’s words, she remained quite calm and simply replied coldly.
"Oh really, so you truly believe the church is perfect and that these can bring wonderful memories to Master Lolth as the ‘Lady of Light’… right?"
Janine Irene looked at Kanor’s expression and listened to her words. Although her face still showed some anger, she was at a loss for words.
She wasn’t angry because she thought Kanor was wrong.
On the contrary, Janine Irene actually realized that Kanor had a point, which made her angry just now.
Sometimes, people get angrier when they are touched on a sore spot than when they are accused.
In fact, Janine Irene sometimes thought about things from the perspective of her friend, the "Lady of Light," and came to a similar conclusion.
For the "Lady of Light," her experiences and situation in The Church of Light were not exactly pleasant.
She had to present a perfect image while witnessing the church’s internal struggles and maintain her own purity, all while helping the church show its good side to the believers.
As the Lady of Light, what she knew, said, and believed was almost completely separated.
However, as the "Knight of the Oracle," the leader of the three Grand Knight groups, Janine Irene was not allowed to have such thoughts.
Even if she thought of it, she couldn’t say it out loud.
Because this was also her duty!
That’s why when Kanor mentioned this, even without saying it in such detail, Janine Irene seemed a bit flustered.
Because she truly…
Couldn’t argue with Kanor.
The Lady of Light realized this too and softly sighed.
"Irene."
She gently called Janine Irene’s name, and Janine Irene understood the Lady of Light’s meaning, showing a somewhat unwilling expression.
"Your Holiness, but…"
"She had a point; I think the elder must be disappointed with the church."
If Janine Irene could notice something, how could the Lady of Light not notice it?
She was very clear that, although she had no complaints about the current situation in the church, that kind of life could hardly be called beautiful.
Especially if the elder was truly the Holy Maiden who also served as the Pope… that would make it even more understandable.
The time when that special Holy Maiden elder lived was when the church was in a period of development.
Rapid expansion, constantly changing beliefs… even the church itself turned into a battlefield of internal conflict and direct wars.
At the same time, the Lord was often away from the Divine Kingdom because of the wars.
Because the Lord was not in the Divine Kingdom, many clergy members at that time had a faith that was not very pure—they believed, but they were not devout and lacked virtue.
The reason the Holy Maiden became the Pope was that after the previous Pope’s accidental death, the bishop most likely to succeed him was the murderer, and the remaining bishops were not capable.
So, the Lady of Light had no choice but to become the Pope after personally defeating the killer of the Pope.
It is not hard for the Lady of Light to imagine what a mess she is facing.
There is no divine guidance, no support from her peers, and no protection from her teacher, the Pope… The situation on the whole continent is also in chaos.
In the end, she got lost in an alternate plane… with no rescue in sight.
The Lady of Light questions herself, even if she is called the most "perfect" Holy Maiden in history, if she were in the time of this predecessor…
She fears she would not do better than what she did.
The so-called "perfection" is only because the church is strong now, and the Lord’s glory shines over the main plane, which gives her the energy to show that "perfection".
Just looking at the beautiful town this predecessor built, which is like a paradise, the Lady of Light understands…
She is much stronger than she imagined.
No matter the strategy, strength, or planning, this elder is above me.
Thinking about her experiences… If it were me, I probably wouldn’t want to mention that I was once a Lady of Light after my "fall."
Not to mention this elder who is much stronger and prouder than I am.
"This is what the church owes to you, and I fully understand this… So, as her disciple, it is only natural for you to feel some dissatisfaction."
The Lady of Light said calmly.
Although Janine Irene still felt a bit unhappy, seeing her Holiness say that, she could only reluctantly relax her clenched fist.
Kanor nodded and said, "It’s good that you have this thought… At least it shows you are not beyond hope."
As she said this, she looked at Dorothy.
"Come on, Sister Dorothy, we have said everything we need to say… Now it’s time to watch their performance."
Dorothy was slightly taken aback and then said, "Oh… okay, Martial Sister Kanor."
The two little girls turned around and left the Interrogation Room for the Church of Light.
The Lady of Light and Janine Irene watched the two girls go, and each seemed to have their own thoughts.
Therefore, they did not notice one thing.
The "circular candlestick" that Kanor was holding had quietly disappeared during their conversation and had crawled under the beds of the two girls at some unknown time.
