Positive little sun, magical girl, I am awesome

Chapter 491 Holy Ashes

The crowd in the King's Court had long since dispersed.

Rather than a just trial, they seemed to care more about whether the show was exciting enough. The bizarre spectacle of the goddess Marcia dying tragically in public was enough to satisfy the audience. They came with excitement and left in excitement. What happened in the courtroom was nothing more than a topic of conversation after dinner in the following week. They would never tire of it until the next banquet - trial by combat began.

This city seems to be sick - Lilith still held Marcia's body and thought as she looked at those people.

Her body temperature was higher than that of ordinary people. There was always some residual warmth where the poor god was leaning against her, which gave Lilith an illusion that the girl could still stand up again. Therefore, when others left, she kept holding Marcia for a long time without moving.

Her appearance caused great dissatisfaction among the people around her.

"Miss." A priest held a small silver bowl in his hand and looked at Ian and Lucas who were blocking Lilith's way. His face was very dissatisfied. "Please don't interfere with our work. The dead need to be buried."

Just as he was about to get closer, he was stared at by the girl with a fierce look in her eyes. Two young men nearby immediately surrounded him and stood in front of him. The two groups of people were in a stalemate for a long time.

Lilith looked at the dusty hands of the leading priest. He had just taken out a ball of ash of unknown substance from the silver bowl and was about to smear it on Marcia's face, but she immediately ordered him to leave.

"Who knows what tricks you are going to use next." Lilith said coldly.

The priest was not someone who had participated in the trial before. He was inexplicably contradicted by Lilith and was so angry that he became speechless. Before he could organize his words, he heard a voice coming from behind.

"——This is holy ash, Lilith." The visitor called out Lilith's name accurately.

Lilith looked up.

The priests holding silver bowls lowered their heads and stepped aside to make way for the person who was speaking. The man's white robe looked more gorgeous and complicated than those priests.

"The mortal body is nothing but a pile of dust, and will return to dust in the future." The man continued to move forward, and his clean white robe stepped into the sticky pool of blood, immediately becoming mottled and dirty. "They must atone for the sins of the goddess Marcia."

Lilith stared at the person who spoke, as if she had never expected to see him here.

Childhood memories came rushing back through time. She thought she had long forgotten this face, but she recognized it at the first sight. In her ignorant period, Lilith would meet him every week, and he would smile and lead her into the church in Shelley Town to start the weekly worship.

"May the light be with you, Lilith."

"...Lord Aldington." Thinking of her ignorant and innocent childhood before her memories were awakened, Lilith was a little dazed, and felt that it was almost like something from her previous life.

Yes, Woody said that Reverend Aldington later left Shelley Town, but if he hadn't retired, he would certainly be here.

"You have grown up, Lilith." Aldington raised his hand and stroked the top of Lilith's head. He looked at Lilith and her companions with a complicated look in his eyes. "The light has led you to another path."

"...I chose this path myself." Lilith turned her head away, once again avoiding Oldington's blessing. She looked at the priest holding the silver bowl next to her, "I don't think this goddess needs any atonement."

A soft sigh came from above his head, and Aldington withdrew his hand.

"Holy ash can not only atone for sinners, but also guide her soul. Pray that she can return to the altar of Father God sooner and find peace." The priest holding the silver in his hand couldn't help but speak out. He looked at Lilith with an ungrateful look. If it weren't for Lord Oldington's instructions, how could they have buried this sinner.

As a result, the blonde girl on the ground looked at him and smiled. She was holding the bloody corpse in her arms, and the scene of her smile was really weird and terrifying. Her eyes kept changing, as if there was a flame burning in the blue spring.

——No! The priest felt the heat coming from the hem of his robe and hurriedly pulled Lord Aldington back. There was really a fire!

"You?!" The priest's eyes were filled with horror. The girl didn't even make a move to chant a spell, but flaming flowers suddenly blossomed from the pool of blood on the ground, gradually wrapping up the dead Shen Da beneath her.

"She didn't even get the protection of your god when she was alive, and now after her death she has to return to his altar?" Lilith stood up. The magic flame was different from the ordinary flame. Marcia was like a thin piece of paper, and was gradually swallowed up, leaving no trace of dust in this world.

"I don't think she wants to." Lilith said lightly.

"God of Light!" The priest was frightened by the strange flames and pointed at Lilith's nose and cursed, "Magician? How dare you use witchcraft in the King's Court! And destroy the corpse! What are you doing--"

Aldington raised his hand to stop the priest's accusation.

"My child." Oldington didn't expect that the girl who was so cheerful and lively in childhood would grow up to be so tough now. He felt mixed emotions. The look in the child's eyes was so strange, without any of the admiration he had in childhood.

What made her like this? Aldington sighed silently.

"My child, you are surrounded by hatred and anger." Oldington said earnestly, "If you are dominated by it, you will lose yourself."

"How could that be, sir?" Lilith replied after watching Marcia disappear, her expression indifferent, "My mind is clearer than ever."

She raised her head and took a serious look at the pastor who had grown up with her. He was old, with clear wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. The look in his eyes when he looked at her had not changed, but -

"Like now, you appear in front of me." Lilith looked at Oldington with a smile.

She's really full of thorns - Aldington shook his head.

"We need to talk, Lilith."
