Nine thousand words, it's three chapters Chapter 343: The difference between a line and a line The future queen of the Rollin family wanted to come to the Temple of Light to worship and pray, and this incident also caused a small shock.
Almost everyone knows that several top wealthy families in the empire, led by the Tulip family, are actually very indifferent to the Temple of Light.
After all, since the beginning of the Du Wei era, the first Duke Tulip spared no effort to suppress the church.
Although the original Duke Tulip even served as the bishop of the Northwest Diocese for a time, in fact, the Tulip family in later generations was not religious.
As a natural ally of the Tulip family, the Rollin family has also adhered to the consistent position of the Tulip family, and its attitude towards the church has always been lukewarm, at least the patriarchs of the Rollin family in recent generations are not Christians.
For a long time, the Rollin family was considered an important member of the "tulip family" camp, and they have always kept a distance from the church, even with a hint of hostility.
And now, the eldest lady of the Luo Lin family actually openly went to the cathedral of the headquarters of the Temple of Light to pray, which naturally attracted the attention of many parties.
Thinking of the ascension to the throne of the new Emperor Hilo, the Church seems to have played some dishonorable role, and the new Emperor Hilo may have reached some kind of agreement with the Church In short, Jill's visit to church was immediately interpreted as political.
Because this eldest lady has a dual identity: the daughter of the Rollin family, and, the future queen Her visit to the church, in the eyes of many well-intentioned people, is equivalent to showing the position of the royal family and the Rollin family.
Is this another signal of political peace?
Only Jill himself knew that his prayer to the Temple of Light was not carried out with a political mission at all.
In fact, when she offered to go to church to pray, her father, Aker, was surprised.
Of course, Aker knew that Jill's eyes were cured by that kid from Darling Chen, and it had nothing to do with the blessing of the goddess, and as for the reason of going to the church to pray and thank the goddess for her protection, it was naturally even more irrelevant.
But Aker didn't think too much about it, his daughter has become withdrawn and unsociable since she was a child because of eye disease, and she has been hiding in the castle of her hometown all the year round to live a simple life, such a life is naturally not a good thing for a girl who is in the flowering season.
As a father, of course, Aker also blames himself a little in his heart, for the sake of the family, he has been in charge of the army all the year round, and he really cares less about his daughter.
As for my daughter's desire to go to church, whether she is quiet and active, or simply wants to see the world-famous cathedral, or is just idle and bored and wants to walk around, it is better than being locked up in the mansion every day.
It's okay to go out for a walk.
Shiloh's reaction to Jill's move was also lackluster.
However, he was very supportive: after he took office, he would inevitably strengthen cooperation with the church, but he had just ascended to the throne, and if he rashly got too close to the church, it would inevitably cause a backlash in the aristocratic circle.
At this time, it is also a good idea for his future wife to come forward and go to the church to show his closeness to the church in a subtle way.
Shiloh even mistakenly thought that it might have been Aker's idea.
His dependent, important military minister and future father-in-law, did this very satisfying thing.
The only dissatisfaction is probably Jill himself.
Of course, she knew why she was going to church That damn, nasty Darling Chan, that young magician After a few days of inexplicable strange dreams, the strange thoughts that were about to move in my heart finally faded away, and Jill naturally didn't know that this was because the effect of the "Charming Eyes" gradually dissipated over time.
But recalling that he had that kind of thought about Darling Chen for some reason a few days ago, it was enough to make Jill blush.
When he met him for the last time, the bold man dared to ask himself to do such an outrageous thing for him Helping him steal the ring may be able to say that he was confused for a while, but this kind of foolish thing is that he has already done it, and the ring is already in his hands, and now he wants to quietly put it back, it is absolutely impossible After something happened in the palace, the security of the palace has been raised to a level, and Hilo's study has forbidden anyone to approach, and Hilo himself ordered that no one inside or outside the palace should enter his study unless it was a courtier he had summoned, including himself, the future queen After worrying at home, Jill struggled all the time.
On the one hand, she was haunted by the cranky thoughts about Darling Chen, and on the other hand, she was terrified Yes, it's fear.
After stealing the ring and calming down at home, Jill realizes that she has gotten herself in serious trouble.
That ring, in case Shiloh finds out that it has been dropped, what should I do In case Shiloh finds out that something has been dropped, with Shiloh's cleverness, at least carefully investigate, it is very likely that he will find his flaws And as a member of the Rollin family, he is about to marry Shiloh, and he bears the future fate of the Rollin family, and he bears the important responsibility of the marriage between the Rollin family and the royal family, in case he causes Shiloh's anger because of this incident, it can be said that it is no exaggeration to say that it is a betrayal But even if he kept hiding it like this, Shiloh didn't find out.
But that hateful Darling Chan is a guy who will show up In case of a rumor from him that he was secretly helping him Hell, what kind of abominable magic did he use to seduce me?
After struggling for a few days, Jill finally decided to meet Chen Daolin again according to his last confession The place, of course, is the church.
The nasty young man looked into his eyes at that time and said: If you want to see him again, go to the holy place of the goddess.
That guy had already planned his escape, he had already planned to escape from the palace and hide in the church Jill didn't think that reporting Chen Daolin's "charming eyes" can make a woman magically fall in love with Darling Chen, but this kind of magic has limitations, this is not a real love, but when looking at each other, through magic to guide and influence each other's thoughts, resulting in a kind of spiritual fluctuations similar to love.
And after a long time, after the effect of this magic faded, Jill calmed down, and the idea of denouncing Chen Daolin when he realized that he had driven himself into a dangerous and embarrassing situation did not appear in Jill's heart.
But she didn't dare What if after he denounced himself, Shiloh re-grabbed Darling Chan and learned from his mouth that he had helped him Therefore, in the end, Jill decided to meet him in person according to Chen Daolin's agreement The future queen went to the church to pray, although this matter was concerned by many.
But in fact, when Jill traveled, he didn't make a lot of pomp.
Because of the recent incidents, when Jill went out, he brought a team of Rollin's guards with him, but that's all.
As the future empress, she was accompanied by two ceremonial ladies of the court.
When the convoy arrived at the Temple of Light, the guards remained outside the church.
No one disagrees with this: no one is allowed to enter the Temple of Light with an escort, and the only exception is His Majesty the Emperor.
Moreover, it was clear to everyone that perhaps the Temple of Light could be considered the safest place in this place.
The personal safety of the future queen can definitely be fully guaranteed here.
Jill even refused to be followed by the courtesy, and walked into the church's cathedral with only her personal maid.
In this landmark, which has stood for hundreds of years, there are already high-ranking clergy waiting in the church.
It is also the highest level of courtesy for a cardinal archbishop to preside over the prayer service, which is equivalent to allowing Gil to enjoy the treatment of the empress in the Temple of Light in advance, unless the emperor himself comes to pray, otherwise the Pope will not come forward.

There is a special clergy to guide the whole process of prayer and worship in an orderly manner.
It's just that although Jill looks pious and calm on the surface, only she knows how uneasy she is in her heart.
Even when she closed her eyes and prayed, she couldn't help but quietly open her eyes and look around, secretly looking at the side doors of the church on the left and right, always feeling that that hateful face would appear behind the door at any time.
After the prayer was completed, Jill was invited by the cardinal to one of the church's lounges, where he drank a cup of tea and spoke to the cardinal, all of which were high-sounding words.
After donating a sum of money to the church on behalf of the Rollin family, Jill made a small request: she wanted to visit some of the church's historic buildings.
This small request was well understood by the Church.
It's not surprising to think about it, although the buildings of the Temple of Light are famous in the Empire, many people have seen them countless times.
But this Miss Jill, who has suffered from eye disease since she was a child, cannot see, and the Rollin family has never been to the church to worship, so this Miss Jill has never had the opportunity to visit here.
Religious aside, these buildings of the Temple of Light are also very famous in the Empire, where the thousand-year-old history and foundation of the church are placed, and there are many ancient buildings here, and each of them is the handwriting of famous masters, and there are many top-notch works of art.
If nothing else, it's just that the frescoes and sculptures in the main church are priceless.
Jill politely declined the cardinal's offer to accompany him personally, saying that he only needed to send one or two retinues to guide him.
The cardinal archbishop was old, in fact, he was not very willing to accompany such a little girl in person, and it was just a polite word to offer to accompany him, and after listening to Jill's request, he quickly summoned two young clergy, sent two of them, and led Jill to the historical collection hall and other places in the church behind the church.
Jill was not interested in the books or works of art collected by these churches at all, but the two clergy who accompanied him were very hard-working, and the verbal explanations along the way were simply out of the spirit of preaching The reason is very simple, the noble girl in front of her is said to have not officially received the baptism and conversion ceremony, if you can move this noble girl and let her accept the baptism, it will be a great achievement Jill listened to the two clergy preach to him, from the beginning of the canon to the many sages in the history of the church, to the buildings of the famous masters of history, which works of art also contain important historical significance, and so on.
Jill was irritated when he heard this, and his eyes were wandering around, just searching for the hateful figure, but in order to take care of his queen's demeanor, he had to pretend to be reserved and nod from time to time.
Just when Jill's patience was almost exhausted, he had just walked out of a collection hall when he saw a young goddess dressed in white trotting all the way.
When the two accompanying clergy saw this young goddess servant wearing a gold mask, they didn't dare to hold it up, and quickly stopped, and both of them knew that in the church, such divine servants were the personal people who specialized in serving those top bosses.
The young girl came to the front and bowed, even if the white robe accidentally leaked a little spring light, but the two clergy in front of her did not squint at this is the big man's forbidden belly.
The girl respectfully walked up to a clergyman and whispered something, but Jill didn't hear it clearly, but the two clergymen suddenly looked stunned, and quickly bowed their heads and said yes.
"Honorable young lady, I think that this is the end of our visit, and this servant is a man close to His Majesty the Pope.
Well, His Majesty the Pope has learned of your arrival and is ready to receive you inside.
Therefore, then ask this servant to take you in to the audience, and when the audience is over, someone will naturally guide you out. ” Jill was stunned.
Received by the Pope But I didn't want to see the Pope, I just wanted to see that bastard boy But the Pope's reception, this kind of thing is not easy to refuse.
Moreover, when Jill was taken away by this divine servant, even the personal maid beside him was not qualified to follow you, do you think anyone can have the honor of being received by the only spokesperson of the goddess in the world The two clergy left with the maid, and Jill had no choice but to follow the young goddess servant in front of him all the way to the depths of the church.
Walking through a long corridor, I came to an open place, which was full of flowers and plants, and even though it was the early spring and early cold season, the eyes were still full of green.
Just when Jill was still a little apprehensive in his heart, he suddenly heard a familiar voice from the courtyard.
"Hey, add a little more salt to the barbecue, and don't add any more spices.
Well, that Xia Xia, go get some firewood, oh it's stupid, there are trees everywhere, just cut a few branches.
It's just a few trees, and the old man of the Pope isn't so stingy. ” The voice fell into his ears, and Gilton's eyes lit up It's him But then, a wave of anger rushed up in his heart In an instant, she couldn't help but leave the goddess servant beside her, and rushed into the courtyard in a big stride.
The yard was under a big tree, and the first thing I saw was the hateful figure that made me think about it day and night, tossing and turning, and couldn't sleep What's even more odious is that this guy is obviously a fugitive felon wanted by the emperor, but at this moment he is wearing a snow-white robe, standing leisurely under the tree, with his hands behind his back.
The face is clean, full of leisurely and smug smiles, where is the slightest bit of the panic and panic that imaginary being a fugitive should have What's even more infuriating is that his eyes are fixed on a barbecue grill in front of him, under which some firewood is stuffed, and above the flame, a cleanly groomed lamb is set up there, the skin has been roasted to a golden brown and crispy, and there is a strong aroma of roasted meat, and the drops of mutton fat dripping on the flame Chen Daolin easily commanded the people around him, but his eyes were staring at the roast sheep, drooling from time to time.
Seeing him like this, Jill almost even had a crooked nose I couldn't sleep at home all night with worries, and in the past few days, even the dark circles under my eyes have come out, this bastard, but he actually hides in this church, and eats roast mutton Looking at his appearance, there were three young girls in white divine servant robes around him, but he was commanding there with a big grin, not to mention charcoal fire on his body, not even a little oil stain.
In this way, where is there a fugitive who lives so nourishingly Jill was angry in his heart, and was striding over, when he suddenly saw Chen Daolin behind him, revealing a cowardly figure.
Chen Daolin reached out and gently hugged the delicate body into his arms, and touched her long hair, his fingers gently slid over the tips of the slender ears that protruded from the ends of the hair genie Jill immediately stopped.
Looking at the hateful man, holding the elf girl in his arms with such a gentle gesture, Jill suddenly felt an indescribable sour anger welling up in his heart Finally, at this time, Chen Daolin raised his eyelids and saw Jill.
He smiled calmly, and actually beckoned to Jill and said with a smile: "You are here and you have a good mouth, just in time for this sheep to be roasted." ” When Jill really stood in front of Chen Daolin, she finally made sure of one thing: this bastard's son seemed to be really doing well.
Including the goddess servant who led the way, there were a total of four young goddess servants serving around him.
Slices of roasted golden and crispy lamb were cut off and brought to him on a sterling silver plate, and a bottle of fine wine, chilled, was brought to his lips, and even a goddess servant by his side took it upon himself to drive away the worms that appeared in the early spring When the two servants took out an expensive cashmere handmade blanket and spread it on the ground casually, Chen Daolin stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Since you are here, please sit down."
That's all there is to it, the old man of the Pope is very stingy, but he eats and drinks well. ” Jill sat in front of Chen Daolin with a pale face, she wanted to be angry, but after thinking about it for a long time, she felt as if she had no reason to be angry.
She wanted to reprimand Chen Daolin for a few words, but suddenly found that she didn't know how to speak.
How can you let yourself take the initiative to say: I suddenly feel that I am in love with you, but how can you hold another woman here and eat roast mutton Although she vaguely guessed that Chen Daolin had done something to her, after all, this kind of thing had not been determined by herself, and there was no evidence, so what she said rashly was not self-deprecating After holding it for a long time, Jill let out a long breath.
After all, she is a noble girl cultivated in a big family, after she finally calmed down, she glanced at the four young white-clothed goddess servants beside her, and snorted: "It's your fake missionary, send someone to pick me up, it seems that your relationship with the church is very unusual, and even the Pope's order can be falsely transmitted."
Chen Daolin didn't answer this question, but just waved his hand and said with a slight smile: "Miss Jill, since you came here as promised, you didn't just want to ask me what my relationship with the church is."
Jill's face froze.
Chen Daolin picked up the wine bottle with his own hands, filled the wine glass in front of Jill and then poured a glass himself, smiled slightly, but his tone became sincere: "I respect you first to express my gratitude to you No matter what, you know that I am in the church, but you didn't report me."
I thank you."

As he spoke, Chen Daolin drank it all by himself, and Jill slowly picked up the cup and took a shallow sip.
Putting down the wine glass, Jill looked gloomy, and looked up at Chen Daolin: "Speaking of which, I should thank you, after all, I can see the light again" Chen Daolin stared at Jill but shook his head and said, "You don't need to say thank you to me."
I'll cure your eyes, and it's just a deal.
I asked you to look after my family and companions, and you did.
And in exchange, I'll heal your eyes" "But I've only done very small things, but my eyes are" Before Jill finished speaking, Chen Daolin shook his head again: "You can't say that."
It may not be a big deal for you to take care of them once in a while, but for me, their well-being is the most important thing on my mind. ” Could it be that in your heart, my eyes are only worth this little value?
For some reason, Jill's heart was sour.
To cover it up, she took a sip from her cup.
"Your eyes shouldn't be anything by now."
Chen Daolin looked at Jill.
Jill nodded: "Good." ” As she spoke, her expression was a little strange, her voice lowered, and she said slowly: "The first day I can see it again, I always can't help but look around, wanting to see everything around me in my eyes and remember it in my heart.
I was afraid that this was a dream, and I was afraid that when I woke up, I would fall back into the boundless darkness.
So for the first two days, I didn't dare to sleep at all, and my eyes were red from staying up."
Chen Daolin smiled: "It's okay, it's good to take a rest afterwards."
Your eye disease is treated thoroughly, and there should be no recurrence.
But your eyesight is a little worse, and you can't see things in the distance clearly, and I can't do anything about this."
Jill shook his head: "I'm very happy to see it again."
As for the rest, I don't dare ask for more. ” "That's good."
Chen Daolin seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
Then for some reason, the two looked at each other several times without saying a word.
It was a long time before the two spoke at the same time.
"There's something I want to ask you."
"I have something to tell you."
"Hmm" Chen Daolin smiled bitterly: "You can say it first." ” Jill blushed, she was originally born beautiful, after recovering her eyesight at the moment, her eyes were clear, facing Chen Daolin at this moment, I don't know why, those beautiful dreams that I had a few days ago suddenly came to my heart again, so that she actually gave birth to a little girl's shyness, hesitated, and said in a low voice: "Are you, are you, have you done anything to me" Chen Daolin was stunned for a moment, and then a wry smile appeared on his face.
He stood up suddenly, then solemnly bowed to Jill and bowed, and after standing up straight, his face was very serious: "Miss Jill, this is exactly what I want to say to you." ” Jill's heart sank "That day, you told me about the deaths of Carman and Rodriguez IV, and I was furious.
I made the decision to break out of prison, so as a last resort, I had to take advantage of you. ” When Chen Daolin's words fell into Jill's ears, the girl's heart seemed to be suddenly knocked by a hammer, and she trembled fiercely "I used a magic spell on you, I can only say that this matter, what I did was very shameless, very unfair, and can be described as despicable.
No matter what I thought of you in the past, but in this case, you are an innocent person after all, and you are a young girl, a simple girl.
I used this method to take advantage of the feelings of a simple girl, which is really excessive. ” Jill's voice trembled a little: "It's just that, it's just one, it's just a magic" "Yes," Chen Daolin looked a little ashamed.
"Those weird emotions in my heart these days" "I'm sorry."
Chen Daolin smiled bitterly again.
However, he quickly said: "I promise, this is just a magic, not real and the effect of this magic will quickly dissipate, I think, you should be almost back to normal in the past few days."
In a few days, this emotion will disappear completely, and there will be no trace left, and perhaps tomorrow morning you will wake up and find that your opinion and attitude towards me is back to what it used to be, as if none of this had happened.
I promise that this magic will be completely gone."
After saying this, Chen Daolin looked at Jill cautiously, waiting for her reaction.
But after a long time, Jill seemed to fall silent, and did not react at all.
Just when Chen Daolin's forehead began to sweat, Jill suddenly smiled.
Although it is a smile, this smile is full of bitterness in the eyes of people.
"What should I say" Jill suddenly stood up, she gently reached out and pulled her hair, the smile on her face was a little miserable: "I really wanted to scold you and reprimand you just now, how can you do such a despicable thing to me, but I don't seem to be qualified to say this about you, because in your eyes, I am not a kind and good girl."
You must have always thought I was a mean, powerful, cold person."
Speaking of this, Jill suddenly raised her head and stared at Chen Daolin fiercely, her fists clenched, and she suddenly said loudly: "Yes, that's right, I'm such a woman, I am, but even so, you don't have the right to use my feelings, you know, for a girl, me, my, my feelings, I" At this, Jill burst into tears.
Chen Daolin was suddenly helpless.
Even if he has experienced too much in this world, even if he is no longer the little otaku who first arrived in your realm and had weak legs when he saw blood, even if he has experienced too many life and death struggles, and has experienced too much cruelty and blood, even if he has now become cold-hearted and hard-hearted, killing people without blinking But deep in his heart, there is always a soft place, which still belongs to the simple little otaku who drools at the A film with instant noodles.
In the face of blood, perhaps Darling can now laugh at the situation.
But in the face of women's tears, he is still the same Chen Daolin as before.
His lips squirmed a few times, but Chen Daolin didn't know what to say to comfort the other party's instincts, he only knew that whatever he said now was probably wrong.

After a long time, Chen Daolin said in a low voice: "I" "You don't have to say it."
Jill wiped his eyes vigorously and stared at Chen Daolin hatefully: "Even if you flattened your eyes and cured me, you used such despicable means to take advantage of my feelings."
Even if I owe you something, I've already repaid Darling Chen."
As she spoke, she reached out into her arms, and soon found a small bag, threw it on the ground in front of Chen Daolin with hatred, gritted her teeth and said: "This is your ring, I brought you to invite me here, don't you just want to get this thing, otherwise, I am afraid that you would have left long ago and flew away Hum Darling Chen, everything, you have already planned that you use my feelings to let me help you steal this thing, and then you hide in this church, waiting for me to come to the door to deliver this thing" Jill said, and she turned abruptly and walked away Chen Daolin didn't immediately bend down to pick up the ring, and said loudly on the spot: "One thing I want to tell you is that the fake ring I gave you was also made by me.
The potion utensils you gave me, the ring I made out of an iron nail in my cell, dyed with potions, and I couldn't tell the difference from my appearance.
And I've also added a small magic ban on it as a disguise, even a magic master can't see that Shiloh can't unlock the ban on that ring, so you don't have to worry. ” Jill shook and stopped abruptly.
She slowly turned around and stared at Chen Daolin: "Should I still thank you for your tight disguise, thank you for not letting me be exposed?"
"I don't want to hurt you.
You're still going to marry Shiloh.
Chen Daolin's tone was very calm: "This matter, speaking of which, I owe you." ” Jill took a deep breath, she suddenly raised her head, looked at the sky, and then turned her eyes to Chen Daolin.
"Darling Chen I hate you, at this moment, I really, really hate you" Jill bit her lip: "Maybe for you, you don't want to hurt me, maybe for you, you think you just used that damn magic to use me once, maybe for you, you think it's just magic, and you think the effect of magic will disappear and everything will return to normal" Speaking of this, Jill's voice suddenly trembled, and she shouted, "But I still hate you, hate you, do you know why?"
"I," Chen Daolin sighed.
"Because I've never loved a man since I was a child, this time, whether it's true or not, even if it's made by you with magic, illusory, but what I want to tell you is that this is my first time, it's my first time Gil Rollin fell in love with a man, the first time I've tasted the taste of loving someone, you bastard, do you know that for any girl, even if it's me, you think it's a bad woman, but I'm also a girl for every girl, from childhood to adulthood, I have fantasized countless times, I have dreamed of what it will be like when the first love comes, but you ruined all this, you ruined all this, bastard, even if this relationship is fake, it is also my first love, do you understand, you ruined my first love" With that, Jill turned around and left, never looking back this time, and soon disappeared outside the courtyard.
And Chen Daolin stood frozen on the spot, his face complicated A pair of soft little hands behind him touched Chen Daolin's cheek.
Barossa walked up to him, the elf girl's big eyes full of concern, and whispered, "Darling" Chen Daolin shook his head, and suddenly rubbed his already numb face vigorously, and then he smiled bitterly, stared at Barossa's eyes, and said in a serious tone: "Barossa, I suddenly felt that this time, what I did was really despicable."
Barossa didn't speak, just threw herself into Chen Daolin's arms, and then used all her strength to hug him hard, hugging him very tightly.
The simple elf girl only uses this only way she can think of to try to bring a touch of warmth and comfort to her lover.
After a long time, Chen Daolin finally sighed: "I hope that after a few days, when the magic power is exhausted, she will return to normal, and she will let go of all this."
Alas" But even though the weakness and mediocrity of otaku have faded, in the final analysis, Chen Daolin, who lacks emotional experience, still unknowingly made a mistake.
Lacking emotional experience, he didn't know that such a thing as "first love" was impossible for any girl in the world.
Whether it is beautiful or bitter, whether it is real or illusory What he didn't know was the strange change that would happen when Jill left with a deep hatred for himself.
Many times, the difference between strong love and strong hate, these two feelings, is only a thin line, especially when you have just loved someone.
