Holy Maiden (1)
However, this was the idea of the four Archbishop. Ye Lanyu and the other two women did not intend to leave Ye Lang. No one in this world could make them leave Ye Lang, and anyone who made such a request would be considered an unwelcome person by them.
Ye Lang, of course, stood on Ye Lanyu's side. This was the thing that Archbishop Will said was impossible, and they could only accept it. Otherwise, would they kick Ye Lang out?
"Your Archbishop, please rest assured, we will not tell anyone!" the Seventh Princess said humbly.
"Yes, we won't, but we can't guarantee that Ye Lang won't say..." Zhen Xiaoyan whispered from the side, and this sentence hit the nail on the head.
"..." The Archbishop were speechless. If Ye Lang told them, there was nothing they could do. They couldn't very well not tell Ye Lang, otherwise how could they save the Holy Maiden?
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone, as long as no one asks me..." Ye Lang promised earnestly, but his promise seemed powerless.
If no one asks you, then if someone does ask, do you just tell them everything?
"Alright, let's leave it at that! Let's get down to business!" The Archbishop shook his head and said helplessly, "The thing is, because of a certain incident, the Holy Maiden was injured, and her injuries were so severe that we had to use Ice Crystal to protect her life."
"Be more specific!" Ye Lang said. The words above were too simplistic; he had already guessed it.
"I can't go into the specifics, it's all confidential. I can only say that it was a conspiracy, and the Holy Maiden just happened to be a victim of that conspiracy!" the Archbishop said.
Ye Lang frowned and said again, "Be more specific! I mean the Holy Maiden's injuries. You can be brief about other things, or even omit them, but tell me the details of her injuries exactly as they are!"
"Ah..." The Archbishop also began to realize that they seemed to have taken a wrong turn. Their previous fear that Ye Lang and the others would reveal it was unnecessary, because what Ye Lang needed to know was that simple, without needing to be complicated!
"Oh, whatever, you don't have to say anything, but don't blame me if something goes wrong!!" Ye Lang said nonchalantly, then touched the Ice Crystal, seemingly thinking about something, or perhaps preparing to take action.
"No, don't do anything reckless!!" The Archbishop was startled and immediately jumped out to stop Ye Lang.
"She has several fatal wounds: a pierced heart, a slash in her back, and a large section of her abdomen is shattered. That's the most troublesome part. We can treat the heart wound, the slash wound, and the other injuries, but the abdomen is completely shattered. There's no way to fix it! Also, she may have been poisoned..." the Archbishop said, gesturing precisely to the locations of her injuries.
After this was said, the three girls felt a chill and a bit nauseous; the scene was just too horrible!
It's no wonder they don't want others to know; if people knew their Holy Maiden had become like this, they certainly wouldn't be able to accept it!
At that time, there was no way to deal with the situation, and even now there would be no way. We should be grateful that someone was able to make a decisive move and use Ice Crystal to save the Holy Maiden's life; otherwise, the Holy Maiden would have certainly died.
At this moment, Ye Lang's expression was also very serious, because the situation was much more serious than he had imagined, and it was the most serious injury he had ever seen.
Generally speaking, a person would have already died before Ye Lang even saw such an injury, so he naturally wouldn't have seen such a severe one.
"Isn't this troublesome? If you can't do it, don't worry about it now. The Holy Maiden can at least keep her life for several hundred years. Maybe there will be a new way then!" The Archbishop knew from Ye Lang's expression that this matter was also very troublesome for Ye Lang.
Ye Lang frowned, circled the Ice Crystal once, and then smiled and said, "This is rather troublesome, but it's not like there's no way to solve it at all!"
"Do you have a solution?" the Archbishop asked excitedly as soon as he saw Ye Lang's smile.
At this moment, the Archbishop seemed to discover that Ye Lang's smile was the most beautiful thing in the world, because it brought them hope.
Normally, they are the ones who bring hope and smiles to others, but at this moment, Ye Lang brings them hope instead. This situation seems strange to them, but it doesn't matter. As long as they can rescue the Holy Maiden, nothing else matters.
"Yes, but there are certain risks and potential side effects. I hope you will think this through carefully before deciding whether to continue! I hope we can continue, so that I can find out what is it about her that has such a deep connection to me." Ye Lang said, looking at Ice Crystal. He didn't hide his thoughts, which was typical of him.
"Dangers, aftereffects..."
These two words made the four Archbishop hesitate for a moment, perhaps because they were used to the convenience of Light Magic, and to magic that had no danger and no obvious aftereffects.
Soon, the Archbishop began to discuss the matter, hoping for advice and deliberation.
"What if this kid can't cure Xiao Bing'er? Wouldn't we be ruining her life?!"
"It's just a possibility, it might not actually happen, but I think we should take the gamble!!"
"You make it sound so easy. Let's take a gamble, and this one will be Xiao Bing'er's!"
"Do you really think it's a good thing to leave her inside this Ice Crystal? If it were me, I'd rather die sooner!"
"This..."
"Furthermore, even if many years later, there is a way to save Xiao Bing'er, what if she wakes up and finds no one she knows around her? That would be like being in a completely unfamiliar world. Do you think she would adapt? Would she be happy? I believe she would rather take a gamble now!"
"This..."
"Sigh, even if Xiao Bing'er can come out now, when she sees that her childhood playmates are all middle-aged while she is still a young girl, she will still have a hard time adapting!"
"..."
"Even if we take a step back and assume the worst, we can't let the Holy Maiden remain trapped in the Ice Crystal forever. The Holy Church needs the Holy Maiden!! It's been twenty-one years, and some people are already having objections, some have even started preparing to choose a new one!!"
"Alright, let's go all out. We have to believe in Ye Lang's abilities; this isn't the first time he's created a miracle!"
