Chapter 296 - 254 Angel’s Exorcism
Solamus.
The Divine Angel, and now seen as the Holy Maiden of the Water God by the eyes of the priestesses.
In the temple of the Water God, countless people made all sorts of sacrifices, eagerly implored the Holy Maiden’s favor, and every day, foreigners trekked great distances just to catch a glimpse of the Holy Maiden’s august presence.
Some even quarreled with the priests because they couldn’t see the Holy Maiden, drew their bronze swords and caused an uproar in the temple, ultimately being stabbed to death by the spears of the city-state’s guards.
Outside this temple, nearly every day stirred up disputes over her, and countless people longed to hear the Holy Maiden’s voice, hoping to gain the Water God Angel’s patronage.
Faced with the outside world’s turmoil, Solamus always remained detached from it, scarcely stepping out of the temple except for attending major ceremonies.
One day, Solamus was in the study, browsing through the ancient books in her hands.
This place was a Coastal City where papyrus deteriorated easily and was difficult to preserve; moreover, thanks to the believers’ offerings, the temple was quite wealthy, which is why the books in the study were all made of sheepskin.
A girl around ten years old tapped on the slightly ajar door, then carefully entered the study.
"Holy Maiden..."
The girl spoke softly; her name was Bennice, and she was the youngest priestess in the temple.
