The corners of Griffith's mouth couldn't help but curl up. Although no valuable information was found in the two attempts, he was already sure that his search direction was correct.

It is not surprising that confidential documents have been destroyed or taken away, but there must be many trivial matters in Bishop Klein's daily work. It is impossible for these documents to be included in the scope of confidentiality. The lack of files can only mean one thing -

—

Bishop Clarian's daily work is related to secrecy, and he is most likely an important node in the Krista incident.

There must be clues hidden in the archives of Raven's Holy Light Chapel here.

 Griffith rearranged the files he had looked through and stretched his muscles outside the filing cabinet.

Intelligence analysis is one of Griffith's two major courses at Junior Sergeant School and Homemon Watts. For an intelligence agent, infiltration, assassination, eavesdropping, seduction, etc. are all crooked ways to target public information.

Statistics and analysis are the true meaning of information science.

　　The organization that wiped out Krista’s existence can take away files and materials with keywords, but if they want to completely erase all traces, they can only burn the place with fire.

Since Raven’s Holy Light Chapel was not burned, there must be clues left.

Christa joined the Eastern Legion in 1441, served for nearly two years, and died in battle in 1443. Griffith then focused his attention on the activity records of the chapel between 1438 and 1441. At that time,

Krista is between 12 and 15 years old, a critical period for formal training.

After a whole night of searching, Griffith found several scattered and suspicious documents from the vast archives.

 He took these documents to a corner of the archives room and read and analyzed them carefully.

 [March 19, 1438, record of the Raven Chapter’s complaint to the Holy See]

"Irresponsible bureaucratic behavior and pretentious reformists are damaging our cause and faith. Not long ago, devout girls were shepherdess and small workshop owners, the daughters of small landowners. It will take time for the grace of the Holy Light to come to them.

, it is absurd to expel them from their appointments just because they have not been able to complete the tasks of the Holy See. Our ministry has protested many times, and the girls who have been expelled from their appointments should continue to stay in the church and become priests, rather than returning to the church where there is no room for them.

The countryside..."

 【On July 2, 1438, the Raven branch's promotional posters in neighboring provinces were recorded and kept on file】

 The painting shows a thin, quiet and beautiful girl. She has blond hair, holding high the emblem of the Holy Light, with knights, soldiers, citizens and farmers following behind her.

 【On August 12, 1438, the Raven branch's propaganda posters in neighboring provinces were recorded and kept on file】

Griffith saw more exquisite promotional posters of girls.

 However, there were no such posters in the following years.

 【January 16, 1441, Notes to Raven Branch’s 1440 Annual Audit Report (missing page)】

“The audit opinion is that the Raven branch’s evangelistic cash expenditures far exceed the normal level. The auditors believe that a large number of unreasonable other expenses are included in the expenditures.”

 【February 24, 1441, rebuke from the Holy See branch of the Eastern Province】

"The abnormal expenditure items of the Raven Chapter must be stopped immediately. The old habits that we all know and have abolished are not only abolished by the new canon, but will also greatly damage the friendly relations between the Holy See and the kingdom, wizards, and knights, and will be detrimental to our cause.

Nothing helps."

 【March 1, 1441, work inspection of Raven Branch】

“According to the instructions of the superior department, the overspending project has been terminated, the remaining assets will be properly disposed of, and the relevant personnel have accepted punishment.”

The relevant personnel were probably the local church leaders headed by Bishop Kelian. Griffiths had already found preliminary clues. He took out the canon compilation placed in the most conspicuous place in the archives and read it.

On December 31, 1427, the Holy Light Holy See, under the leadership of the reformists, promulgated a new canon. This new canon was subject to controversy and resistance. The Holy See had to suspend the new canon from taking effect and revised it several times, and finally in 1437

Finally, the formulation of the detailed rules was completed and officially implemented.

 The canon is so thick that it can be used as a shield. You may not be able to understand it even after looking at it for a month.

Griffiths, who had studied the required law courses at Homemon Watts, knew where to look for answers. Soon, he found a revised comparison table of the old and new canon law based on the index. This revision was complex and had many entries -

—

“1. Regarding the relationship between the Holy See and the Supreme Court, the Senate

“II. Explanations and sermons about the coming of angels

“Three, abolish the selection of saints

“IV. Concerning the dispatch and combat missions of novice monks and nuns with the army

“Five, the relationship with the Holy See of the Gods

"six,……"

1427, that is, the year when the unspeakable Black Magic Supreme was annihilated and the Aaron family was destroyed. According to Sonia, the powerful people who rushed to rescue the Aaron family that night included the Pope’s Crown Prince

.

 Then, the Supreme Being was erased from existence. Judging from the revision time of this canon, several big shots must have held a meeting standing on the corpses of the Aaron tribe to determine the spirit of the next work...

Count Larmore was also present. He might have become a clerk like me not long ago! He probably also had a lot of memory wiped. Hey, who hasn’t been young~

 The key point, well, look for the key point! After reading the document all night, Griffith, who was tired and dizzy, patted his face, drank the little water left in the cup, and began to look carefully at the revised parts that he cared about.

From a large pile of seemingly unrelated and messy information, he sorted out some clues. Although the evidence was scattered, the conclusion was clear.

 The Raven Branch of Holy Light Church is cultivating a saint who has high hopes.

 According to the new regulations of the Holy See, various regions have stopped cultivating and selecting saints who represent the Holy Light to bring joy and blessing to the world, and related projects have been terminated. Combined with other materials, it can be known that this activity has been strongly opposed by churches in various regions.

This matter is easy to understand. If a saint comes, it will be a great good thing for the local church, clergy and residents!

The Raven branch was one of the branches that strongly opposed it. At the end of 1437, after the Holy See issued a strict order, they stopped public activities and candidate recruitment, but they were probably continuing to cultivate saints in private. In early 1441, the audit department discovered

The amount of illegal expenditures in their budget must be huge, otherwise they would not be warned by the audit department.

 Soon, the local bishop and person in charge were punished, and the hidden project should have been completely terminated.

Soon after that, Krista joined the Eastern Legion to fight. It was not uncommon for novice monks and novice sisters to accompany the army, but her situation must have been more special.

 Two years later, she was killed in battle. For some unknown reason, some being discovered her and hurriedly erased the traces.

Griffith stood up and looked out the window.

Morning light once again fell on the devastated city. Refugees who had narrowly escaped the disaster were lining up to head to official and church resettlement sites.

Griffith looked at the long queue in the distance and thought hard.

Krista should be one of the members of the abolished Holy Lady Project. After the termination of the project, the Holy Light Holy See did not pay special attention to her, but allowed her to go to the dangerous front line to fight. This reason is easy to understand, Holy Lady

There must be many candidates, so there is no need to pay special attention to anyone.

 But why did Krista's sacrifice lead to large-scale memory erasure? Could it be that after her sacrifice, the Holy See or other organizations discovered that she was different?

 Could she be related to the conspiracy arranged by the cult in Raven? According to Lordes, a certain existence was created. Is this related to her?

 …

The girl woke up from the silence. She lay on the cold and hard gravel, undressed, pure and beautiful, and her blue eyes were intoxicated with sadness and memories, making it impossible for anyone to think of any blasphemy.

 Silence surrounded her, and in that gorgeous yet suspended time, it seemed as if illusory wings appeared behind her, indicating that the moment for her to fly high had finally arrived.

She looked at the deep blue sky, recalling the silent comfort of cuddling each other in the dark green summer night. Joy and melancholy arose spontaneously, but gradually disappeared in the mottled land.

"No, I can't forget, I can't. I'm willing to pay the price, just to keep his warmth and eyes in my heart." The girl stretched her soft hands and feet, struggled to stand up from the weakness, and didn't know who she was whispering to, "I heard it.

, your will is my action.”

The evening wind is brisk, as if singing a song of destiny.

The girl took a shabby blanket and put it on her body, staggering towards the distant light with her weak feet.

The chirping of birds in the sky echoes in the ruins and wasteland. In order to return to the peaceful land, they are about to pass through the last bit of wind. The bursts of heat in the quiet evening are a sign of the coming heavy rain.

She looked up at the stars and walked alone on the deserted and deserted streets, sighing as she picked up the memories.

As she walked forward, she recalled the gorgeous, warm and broken memories, and sighed softly:

“It would be great if there were only warm times, but life always brings pain to people.

“I can only keep in my heart the joy of being with you and me,

“Even though this body is filthy, I am willing to block all the biting winds for you.

“Through this storm, the place I will go to as a sinful person, whether it is the home that accepts me or the yard of my imagination, it must be my return to your heart.”

 Lanzada is supervising the work at the settlement site near the chapel, looking at the registered refugees. Official clerks will record their situations, then classify and arrange them.

At this time, she noticed a staggering and delicate girl appearing not far away. The girl wrapped herself in a blanket and walked barefoot on the gravel-filled ruins.

This is a very beautiful girl, with silky blond hair hanging on her shoulders, a slim and petite figure, and eyes as clear as the blue sky. Under the thin and worn blanket, she seems to have no clothes on.

 Lanzada ran over immediately, "Did someone hurt you?"

“No, no,” the girl shook her head, “Thank you.”

Her voice was soft and graceful, as clear as a mountain spring. People nearby couldn't help but look at her, and their hearts hurt by the tragedy were soothed by the beautiful voice.

 No one knows her, but deep down they are praying for her to speak more.

“Please come and register,” the clerk said. “We will provide clothing, food and shelter. What is your name?”

 The girl’s voice is like a sweet stream flowing in her heart:

 “Krista,
Chapter completed!
