Chapter 19: Heroine Perform Nun's Duty

"Listen, you can get inside this to protect Maris," Lucan said as he held out the fox-shaped stuffed toy. seaʀᴄh thё nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.There were some holy spirits floating around; these holy spirits were summoned by Maris. She couldn't see them, but Lucan could, and these spirits were strong. Lucan decided to let these spirits enter the stuffed toy so they could physically attack.

With the physical boost of their power, they could easily handle anyone and protect Maris from any danger.

"Okay, we will protect the saint."

"The saint's protection is our motto."

"For the saint's protection."

All the spirits entered the fox. The white fox's red ruby eyes shone, and suddenly the stuffed toy began to change. Soon, the fake fur became real, the ruby eyes moved, and the stuffed toy began to breathe.

"Wow, I didn't expect this thing to come to life," Lucan was surprised, but he liked it.

"When she summons new spirits, I will buy new stuffed toys for her," Lucan thought.

Now that he had given Maris a bodyguard, he no longer had to worry. He just needed to wait for Maris's father to make any move. Once he did, he would be arrested for sure.

Lucan knew the value of Maris was too much for a greedy person like Uma to ignore. He would try whatever it took to get Maris back.

"Let's wait and see," Lucan thought.

Two months later, Lucan looked at Maris, wearing a white dress with black designs.

She was looking at a man's injured hands. She hovered her hand over his hand, cast a healing spell, and the man's hand recovered as if it had never been injured.

"Oh, I feel so much better! Thank you, Maris!"

"Yes, please take care!" Maris smiled politely.

"Thank you so much, it's not much but take some donation, I hope my little donation will help you."

"Thank you uncle, every donation is helpful."

"Haha, that's good. I'm going before people behind me start cursing," the man said as he looked behind and saw a line of men and women.

There were two adventurers kicking some young men and kindly asking some elderly people to go away.

These adventurers were saved by Lucan two months before. Because of Maris's beauty, many young men and some adults or elders came with slight injuries to ask Maris to heal them.

Lucan set out some rules that anyone who wanted treatment must have injuries or illnesses that couldn't be healed by themselves in two days.

Some cuts or illnesses just take a day or two to heal by themselves. So, Lucan banned these people. Moreover, he also set a limit on the number of people Maris could heal. Maris was a saint, and this place was blessed by the saint's blessings, so she wouldn't get exhausted even if she continued heal people for days, but Lucan didn't want her to spend all her time healing others.

Lucan sighed. It was better before, when no one visited his temple, and he was alone just passing the time, but now...

"Oh dear… it's gotten quite lively all of a sudden."

Lucan, who was sighing, looked beside him at Rina, who had spoken.

"Yeah, I hate this," Lucan said.

"Really, you know, the donations that are floating into your temple have increased a lot."

"I don't need money. I was happy to spend my alone time at the temple," Lucan sighed. Money? He had too much money. He didn't need any more.

"Yeah, it's a temple so you can't stop people from visiting it. If other priests or the grand temple hear that you used adventurers to kick people out, you'll be in trouble," Rina said.

"I don't care. Actually, it's good if that happens. I won't have to be responsible for healing these people and other things," Lucan shrugged and said.

Once he became a priest, he couldn't quit or leave the temple; otherwise, he would have done it the moment he found Maris.

"Good for you but what about Maris?"

"I said she is sister at temple but I didn't register her at temple. So if i removed as priest, I can just take her with me or let her decide where she wants to go."

"Good I guess, but... She become too beautiful in just two months," Rina said as she looked at Maris.

"Yup, in future she will be the most beautiful girl in the world," Lucan said.

"I think so too," Rina nodded.
