Chapter 128: Chapter 44 No One Can Separate Me and Saturday

The Female Priest had come to find Li Yu, but somehow ended up becoming the Universal Language teacher for the young girl before her, tutoring her in Universal Language spelling for the entire afternoon.

However, the girl’s learning progress truly surprised her.

In just one afternoon she had learned over three hundred words, and what’s more, after learning them, when Adelle asked the girl to spell a word, her accuracy rate could actually reach over ninety percent.

Even with the words she had learned before, she could surpass seventy percent.

Moreover, according to what the girl in the house had said, she spent most of these days playing cards, but Li Yu had set a study plan for her. Whenever a phase was about to end, she would sprint through it, and then continue playing afterwards.

Adelle herself was a good learner, but she was still amazed by the girl’s learning talent.

She couldn’t help but blurt out, "You should join the Silver Moon Church, with your qualifications the church will definitely focus on training you. Although you’re not a noble, it shouldn’t take more than a few years for you to become a priest like me. Staying in such a small place is truly a waste."

However, the little maid shook her head like a rattle-drum, "No, no, no. I am a follower of the Double Rest Sect, and no one can separate me from my Lord Saturday!"

"Are you saying this because of Merlin? Does he not allow you to convert to the Silver Moon Goddess? Hmm... You don’t need to worry too much, Green Field’s Lord Ireya is a good friend of mine. If you want to come with me, I have ways to take you away," the Female Priest said gently.

However, after she finished speaking, she noticed the look Clara was giving her had turned strange.

"It’s alright, you can think it over, I will be staying in Green Field for some time..."

"There’s nothing to think over about my stay. I’ve made myself very clear. If it weren’t for meeting my Lord Saturday, I would have settled for it, but now that I have joined the Double Rest Sect, even if Merlin chases me away, I won’t leave!" the little maid declared emphatically.

The Female Priest frowned, obviously not expecting Clara to refuse so outright.

For many, rising from a commoner to a priest was a leap that they could not achieve in a lifetime. Although priests are not nobles, with the influence of the Silver Moon Church in the Western Lands, the status of a priest actually surpasses that of some minor nobles.

Moreover, unlike nobles, priests are respected wherever they go.

Therefore, even children from noble families dream of becoming priests.

That’s why Adelle could not understand why the little maid would not even want to consider her proposal.

What kind of spell had that Saturday cast on her to make her so loyal?

But before the Female Priest could open her mouth to ask again, Clara had already issued an eviction order, "You can go back now, Merlin is not here."

Adelle was taken aback, "But I heard he shows up every two days, and by counting the days, he should be here today."

"Hmph, foolish pagans. Since Prophet as the representative of Saturday in the mortal world, of course, he also has to set an example. He’s on vacation right now, and the time in the Divine Country is different from ours. The Prophet will not be back for six days." the little maid said defiantly.

"Six days, that long?" the Female Priest was taken aback.

"Exactly, so come back in six days," the little maid waved.

However, upon hearing this, Adelle blinked, "Then may I wait for him here?"

"You’re trying to spy for information?" Clara was very vigilant.

"Prophet Merlin had mentioned before that everyone is welcome to visit and tour the territories of the Double Rest Sect. I wonder if that invitation still stands?"

"Merlin said that too? Hmm... but he does seem to not care much about outsiders coming in. Just a month ago, the lizard people caught a scout sent by your Silver Moon Church to gather intelligence. In the end, Merlin let the lizard people release that person. Fine, if you want to stay, then stay."

"Thank you. I can continue to teach you spelling over the next few days," the Female Priest responded graciously.

However, the little maid shook her head again, "No, no, no, no, I can only study until noon tomorrow; in the afternoon, the Double Rest Sect has activities, and The Day After Tomorrow I must rest. Resting for two consecutive days is one of the most important rules of the Double Rest Sect, one that all must follow."

"Rest?" Adelle was puzzled, "Is resting considered a rule too?"

"Of course, Merlin said that hard work is for the sake of better rest and life. All followers of the Double Rest Sect, regardless of the era or place, should never forget this."

"Hard work is for the sake of better rest and life." Adelle mulled over this phrase, seemingly struck by it, but soon sighed.

Her own Imray family, in the western region, was just a small noble family, so Adelle was not as sheltered from world affairs as other noble daughters.

Especially when it came to the lives of the hired farmers and serfs on their estate, she had some understanding.

Those poor souls toiled from dawn till dusk, yet most of the grain they harvested still had to be handed over to the Lord. Throughout the year, they could barely scrape by with just enough food to survive, provided the weather was fair. If disaster struck, many of them would end up with broken homes and lost lives. Where would they find the time to rest and live?

In the end, it was just a beautiful wish, unless the burdensome taxes and forced labor could be done away with. But without the protection of the nobles, it wouldn’t take long for those villages to become targets of nearby bandits and end up in ruins, leaving the villagers destitute and dispossessed.

Since she was young, Adelle had always thought the commoners were pitiful, and she had pondered many ways to change their fate, only to have each attempt invariably end in failure. She had to accept the fact that she was powerless to change the situation.

Her only option was to become a priestess when she grew up, attempting to help as many people as she could.

Adelle did not know why Li Yu dared to take this path, but this saying indeed made Li Yu’s image a bit more favorable in her heart.

This Foreigner, at least, harbored a trace of goodwill toward those poor souls at the bottom rung of society.

Too bad their relationship was destined to be that of adversaries, not friends.

The Female Priest thus spent her first night on the territory of the Double Rest Sect with a mix of emotions.

The next morning, she continued to teach the little maid spelling, but when afternoon came, Clara was nowhere to be seen, having gone to participate in sect activities.

Stepping outside, Adelle noticed that the lizard people in the village were all very excited, running swiftly toward the center of the village.

Curious, Adelle hesitated for a moment before following them.

Eventually, she arrived outside a stone house, which appeared to have once been a noble residence, now converted into a temporary venue for Double Rest Sect events.

There were two lizards guarding the door, but upon seeing the Female Priest, they did not stop her. Instead, they gestured with their hands, as if urging her to hurry inside.

Adelle did not have the audacity to intrude and had initially only intended to take a casual look around, not to closely observe the activities of the Double Rest Sect. Yet, unable to resist the enthusiastic welcome of the lizard people and her own rising curiosity, she eventually went inside.
