Sylvia, who hurried back home, first ate a piece of bread with water, calmed her stomach that was about to go on strike, and then took out all her savings and identity certificate. After making sure everything was intact, she sat back on her little bed.

To be honest, she was initially overjoyed when she heard the news, but she slowly calmed down along the way.

What were the conditions for choosing a saint in the Temple of Light?

Would she be regarded as a troublemaker due to her background?

Where would the unselected go?

Most importantly, would anyone see that her soul did not match her body?

Even though she inherited all of Sylvia’s memories, the little girl herself had never traveled far, let alone going to school. Her blacksmith father was taciturn and there was almost no communication between them.

Sylvia, who had been entangled in bed for a while, suddenly stood up and took a deep breath. She still decided to go, no matter what. Being kidnapped or being a maid were not good alternatives.

She needed to fight for her future.

Sylvia, who wanted to examine herself, carefully removed the bandage on her head. Because of the magical potion, the wound that was the size of a coin had now turned pale pink. If she could drink another bottle, it would probably be all right, but unfortunately she didn’t have that kind of money.

She took off her hat and found a turban to wrap her conspicuous blonde hair in a unique way, covering the wound. Sylvia took a last look around at her residence. She had all the valuables she owned on her body, and she had no one else but herself. She had no family to worry about her. Her current body was currently her most valuable thing and she had nothing left to lose.

The Temple of Light, located in the center of Yas City, was the tallest building in the entire city. In particular, it was one of the three main churches and was elegant in its brilliance.

Because of the concept of equality of all beings in their sermons, believers were not prohibited from entering the church of the Temple of Light, as long as they passed the inspection and were not heretics.

It was just that ordinary civilians were busy trying to make a living, and rarely had the opportunity to come here often. At least Sylvia had never been here since she was born.

Standing at the entrance of the temple for the first time, she seemed a little out of place. She was dressed like a commoner but her appearance as a child had attracted attention.

Sylvia stood at the door, with obvious hesitation and embarrassment on her face. Soon, a young woman in a white robe came to her.

The woman’s eyes lit up when she saw Sylvia’s face up close. It was obvious that a beautiful child could easily get a woman’s favor, especially those clear eyes that attracted the woman at once.

“Little cutie, why are you here alone? Where are your parents?” The woman’s voice had a soothing tenderness, which calmed Sylvia all of a sudden, but how much of it was real and how much was an act? Only she knew.

“Sister, I…my name is Sylvia, I…”

The little girl’s voice was as sweet as her appearance, so Bella didn’t get impatient. She bent down and looked at Sylvia with a loving smile, “Don’t be nervous. Take your time. The God of Light favours everyone who is kind and innocent especially children.”

Sylvia seemed to be encouraged by this sentence. She took a deep breath, stretched out her little hand and grabbed Bella’s sleeve, “Sister, I think I want to serve the Lord of Light all my life. Is that possible?”

Bella was taken aback. As a junior priest of the Temple of Light, her status in the temple could be said to be at the bottom, but even she had to go through a series of tests to become a member of the temple.

Not everyone who wanted to serve the God of Light would be readily accepted. Of course, if you had a good background, it was easier to join, but looking at the appearance of this child, one could tell that her background would not be good.

Bella thought that Sylvia was a commoner’s child who had ran out when the adults were not paying attention, so she put on a coaxing tone, “Of course you can, but you will have to wait until you grow up a bit.”

She stretched out her hand and wanted to lead Sylvia away. After all, it was not good for the two of them to stand at the gate of the temple but she didn’t expect Sylvia to be a little scared when she reached out her hand. She couldn’t help but take a step back, and her hand brushed the turban wrapped around Sylvia’s head.

The dazzling sight of gold filled Bella’s entire line of sight.

The God of Light preferred blond children, so the high-level people in the temple all had hair in shades of this color. Bella had seen a few, but their blond hair was not as pure as the little girl in front of her.

Her blond hair reminded her of pure light, so brilliant and so dazzling.

Obviously, the movement here also attracted the attention of other people. More eyes than before were focused on Sylvia, which made the little girl seem even more nervous. Her head slowly lowered and she seemed very helpless.

Fortunately, Bella quickly reacted and she reached out to hold Sylvia again. This time, there was no accident, “Sylvia, right? Can you go in with this sister?”

There was an obvious glimmer in her eyes. The kind of glimmer that was like discovering treasures, which made Sylvia feel a little nervous. However, now that she had reached this stage, it was too late to regret it.

So she gave a low hum, holding Bella’s hand a little tighter, and played the part of a child who had never seen the world very well.

The guards routinely checked the two of them. The serious expression on their faces was enough to scare some timid children into crying. Sylvia’s face collapsed tightly, as if she was about to cry in the next second.

Fortunately, the inspection was completed quickly, and the two were released. Bella felt that the little hand in her hand was a little sweaty. She laughed secretly thinking that Sylvia was truly a child.

However, with such a beautiful child, maybe she could find a treasure for the temple.

Bella led Sylvia through a long corridor and directly to the cathedral, and then asked Sylvia to wait for her in the back seat obediently.

Sylvia naturally nodded in response, and after she couldn’t see Bella’s figure, she slowly raised her head to look at the church.

Like the outside, the interior of the church was mostly white. The magnificent stone pillars and exquisite frescoes made people calm at first sight, but these were only the tip of the iceberg. Ignoring those who were praying quietly on the pews, what attracted Sylvia’s attention more was the statue of the God of Light standing in front of the church.

The legendary God of Light.

It was a man whose face couldn’t be seen clearly. He was holding a book in His left hand, a staff as tall as a man in His right hand, and was wearing a robe that reached the ground. He was obviously just a statue, but when she looked at Him, He seemed to be looking at her too.

Like a spring breeze, Sylvia, who had a trace of anxiety in her heart slowly calmed down. Even though she didn’t realize it herself, the corners of her mouth were raised in an arc.

The priest walking with Bella saw this scene clearly, and his previous mentality that he just wanted to take a look at the child changed.

He took Bella to Sylvia’s side, and stopped her from calling Sylvia, just watching silently.

When Sylvia suddenly came out of that mysterious state, she suddenly found that there were two more people beside her.

She was obviously startled. Her eyes were wide open, like a frightened deer, and she looked very adorable.

From the gray hair of this priest, it could be seen that he was not young, so he was very patient with children. He was also a loyal member of the neutral faction  who only believed in the God of Light, and did not participate in other messy things.

Speaking of which, Sylvia was also lucky as it was not easy to meet this person at ordinary times.

“Sylvia? Good girl, don’t be nervous.” The priest reached out and patted Sylvia’s fluffy blonde hair, “I heard that you want to serve our Lord for life?”

Swallowing nervously, Sylvia looked at the kind old man in front of her and nodded vigorously. She then saw the old man’s eyes slightly curve, “The Lord likes pious children, but before that, we need to do a little test. Is that okay?”

Sylvia continued to nod her head vigorously. She guessed that this test was to see if she had the power of light, which was also the basis for entering the temple.

God above, all the gods, please bless me!

Sylvia still had an obedient look on her face but her heart was filled with all kinds of prayers. It was beyond her expectations that it was going so smoothly this time, and she only hoped that the last step would continue smoothly.

She was not greedy. As long as she could stay in the temple and become a junior level priest, she would be okay. As for the priests, bishops, and other saints after that, she dared not even think about it!

The old priest did not take Sylvia to any other place, but led her directly to the front of the statue. The two were no more than five meters apart.

Sylvia also felt that comfortable feeling again. Although the statue was five times taller than her, it didn’t feel oppressive at all.

“Little girl, pray sincerely before God, and God will bless you.”

The priest’s fervent appearance made Sylvia want to twitch her lips. She thought that she would at least get a crystal ball to measure the power of light, but it turned out to be a direct prayer.

But she couldn’t pray!

However at this time, if she said she couldn’t, it would be a big slap to her face. Fortunately, Sylvia had just seen other people’s actions. She learned to close her eyes, put her hands together on her chest, and she looked quite decent.

During this process, both the priest and Bella stared at Sylvia unblinkingly. If she had the power of light, she would emit pure white light. The brighter the light, the stronger the power of light.

In addition to the two of them, the others who were praying in the church at the moment also turned their attention to them. Every once in a while, the church would arrange a group of people to do the test, and occasionally there would be an example of people coming alone, so Sylvia’s case was not so unique.

The main reason for their stares was that her blond hair was too dazzling, and some people even wondered if Sylvia was some noble lady who had sneaked out dressed like this.

Tick tock, tick tock…

After closing her eyes, Sylvia was reciting various “prayer words” in her heart, but soon, all the background noises in her ears slowly disappeared, leaving only the sound of water droplets falling to the ground.

“Dear Light God, please take care of this poor child. I will try my best to help you gain believers so that you can overwhelm the Dark God!”

After begging, Sylvia didn’t know what else to say. She wanted to open her eyes, but she didn’t hear anyone say the test had ended. She was afraid that she had not yet reached the necessary time, so she could only continue.

However she didn’t know that the reason why there was no response from outside was that everyone was stunned by a miracle.

The statue of the God of Light was glowing!

Since its completion, this statue of the God of Light, which had never responded to anyone, actually responded to this child in this moment.

There seemed to be a phantom in front of everyone, and they saw a man holding a holy book slowly bend down and kiss the child’s hair lightly like a feather.

The dazzling golden light was covered with pure white light, but it did not hurt their eyes at all.

A miracle! This was a miracle!

This child was a child favored by God!
