Chapter 1484 427: Sponsorship from the Demon King (Part 4)
Indeed, it was Qianqian who understood the best.
He hadn't cherished her in vain.
Thinking this, Luo Yan noted her contributions, then turned his gaze to the Sister next to him, a gentle smile on his face.
"For now, this will suffice, as we never said how long it would take to fill their granaries."
Rather than letting the followers eat too much at once, it is more important to let them eat just enough and give them hope for the future.
Seeing the pile of food on the open ground, Carian was utterly stunned, her slightly open mouth and jaw unable to close.
She had thought it would be impressive if Mr. Colin could get some wheat for porridge, but she never expected that bread would appear on the "Magic Array"!
Not just bread!
There was meat, and even wine!
She couldn't help but swallow and said with a trembling voice.
"Is this... magic?"
Luo Yan smiled gently and said.
"Undoubtedly, transporting miracles here is magic, but the 'miracle' itself clearly isn't. They are created by the hard work and sweat of another group of people, something that even Transcendents and the Divine cannot accomplish."
Thinking carefully about the deep meaning in his words, Carian nodded slightly, then looked at him earnestly and said sincerely.
"May I know who they are? Though I may not be able to repay their kindness, please at least... give me a chance to pray for them."
"There's no need for that, they appreciate your goodwill."
Luo Yan smiled slightly, and seeing Carian still feeling uneasy, he continued.
"Rather than praying for a group of fortunate... uh, people, the urgent task now is to bring these foods to those who need them more. As we discussed before, I hope you will undertake this task."
No doubt showed on that face of devotion, only gratitude for kindness. Carian nodded seriously and said in a slightly excited voice.
"I will go and call the people outside!"
With that, she turned to leave the open space surrounded by carriages to feed the hungry and needy.
Seeing this impulsive "Holy Daughter," Luo Yan called out to her with a smile.
"Don't rush, I'm not finished."
"I-I'm sorry! I thought you were done…" Carian stopped with a flushed face and quickly walked back.
"No need to apologize, I understand your eagerness, but there's a saying in my hometown: 'Patience is a virtue when cooking hot bread.' So listen carefully to what I'm about to say, as it determines whether tens or hundreds of thousands will ultimately be saved."
Luo Yan did not mind her hurriedness, and with a patient tone, he revealed his next step plan.
After Carian listened to his instructions, her expression first showed surprise, then turned to deep admiration, yet a hint of unease soon appeared on her face.
She had no doubt in Mr. Colin's wisdom, yet she found it hard not to worry about whether she could manage such an occasion.
It wasn't just praying for one or two people, nor was it about redeeming a few souls...
She had never done anything like this before.
"I understand your point... but can I really accomplish something like this? Persuade the Lord of Sparrow Wood Territory."
"No one knows for sure, but it's worth trying. Besides, there's a first time for everything, isn't there?" Luo Yan smiled, reassuring her unease, "I remember your first time as a Nun was also your first time."
Carian was momentarily stunned, initially confused, but quickly caught on, smiling uncontrollably at the amusing statement.
"I-I'm sorry..."
"I told you, no apologies needed, I'm not Saint Sis, there's no need to confess to me." Luo Yan laughed and patted her shoulder, "Go ahead, I believe you can do it."
In fact, persuading the Lord of Sparrow Wood Territory might be the easiest part, not sure why this Sister seemed more worried about the Lord's side.
But that's also fine.
Ignorance isn't always a flaw, sometimes it's a blessing, especially when you're lucky enough to follow the right person...
Not far away, Carian, passing through the wall of wagons, had already reached the believers and was walking straight towards Brennan at the edge of the crowd.
Smiling at the Sister before him, Brennan made a teasing remark.
"I thought you'd need three days and nights."
Looking at this man clad in bear fur, holding a battle axe and a round shield, she smiled gently, then collected herself and spoke in a solemn and devout tone.
"Divine grace has arrived."
"He brews bread and wine from His flesh and blood to nourish His children suffering from famine. Let your soldiers come in, they shall partake in the first Holy Meal prepared by Saint Sis for them."
Brennan's expression changed instantly, his frivolous demeanor replaced entirely by amazement.
The soldiers of the Green Forest Army standing around were the same, their faces showing disbelief and shock, whispering voices spread around.
"Bread?"
"And... wine?!"
"Is it true?!"
If it was before they saw that second sun that dispelled the clouds, they might have thought this Sister was speaking nonsense.
But now, even the most blasphemous unbelievers couldn't help but show a bit of faith in their eyes.
Brennan's Adam's apple moved as he stared unblinkingly at Carian, trying to find a flaw in that devout face, but failed.
