Chapter 146: Jeanne d'Arc? Saint Jeanne!

"System, start the simulation for me now."

Yes, Master. Master, you currently have targets:

Saint Jeanne, Gilles de Rais,

Miyamoto Musashi.

Which group would you like to choose?

Which group?

Lin Ye looked at the two groups. Musashi-chan is very cute, but he still wanted to try a multi-person simulation, so...

"System, simulate Saint Jeanne and Gilles de Rais!"

Yes, Master.

As the system's voice faded, the simulation for Saint Jeanne and the accompanying Gilles began.

15th Century, Domrémy.

This is a quiet village located in the Lorraine region. It seems as if it hasn't been affected by the flames of war, as if it were isolated from the world.

And in this quiet village, a beautiful girl with golden hair is running here.

"Jeanne! Why are you running so fast!"

"Jeanne! Be careful!"

Many people looked at this beautiful girl with worried instructions; it was clear that the girl was very popular with everyone. However, the girl seemed to have some urgent matter as she arrived in front of the village's only church, and she began to knock on the church door incessantly.

"Father! Father! Open the door!"

"Coming, coming. Little Jeanne, what is it this time?"

The priest opened the church door helplessly. The sky had just brightened, and this little Jeanne was already here impatiently?

Looking at the priest opening the door, Jeanne also let out a sigh of relief and said,

"Father, please allow me to confess..."

"Hmm? What is it this time?" The priest's use of the word "again" clearly indicated that this wasn't Jeanne's first time here.

Looking at the priest before her, little Jeanne said piously, "Yesterday, I saw a passing vagrant. He had no shoes on his feet, so I gave him my shoes..."

"That's a good thing, Jeanne. The Lord will only praise you; you don't need to confess."

"But, the shoes I gave him were my father's..."

The priest...

You really are a filial daughter...

"Ahem, that's nothing. Jacques is an official in our village, and besides, your family's pasture has 50 acres. It's just a pair of shoes; Jacques won't mind."

"Father has already forgiven me..."

"Isn't that great?"

"But, I want the Lord to forgive me too."

This...

For a moment, the priest was speechless. How do you expect me to respond? What can I say? He looked at the 16-year-old girl before him and could only look at her lovingly and say,

"Jeanne, the Lord is very busy. I'm afraid He won't answer your confession about shoes... and usually, we cannot hear the Lord's response..."

"No, I can hear it."

Jeanne insisted. Seeing Jeanne still so persistent, the old priest could only sigh helplessly, then open the door and say to her,

"Come in. The basin for washing hands is on the right side of the church, the well is in the backyard... never mind, you know all this, just do as you please."

After the old priest finished speaking, he went to busy himself with his own affairs, while little Jeanne skillfully busied herself in the church.

Soon, Jeanne was kneeling in the church, piously confessing for her "sins."

And it was at this moment that a voice rang out in her mind.

Life simulation is about to begin. Do you agree to proceed with the simulation?

Yes/No

What voice!

Little Jeanne suddenly looked around. Over there, the old priest had just finished tidying his appearance and was walking in from outside.

"Father! Father! Someone was just talking in my head!"

Looking at the anxious little Jeanne before him, the priest waved his hand casually. "Alright, little Jeanne, don't be so excited. How many times have you said this yourself? Have you heard the story of the boy who cried wolf?"

The boy who cried wolf, from the ancient Greek "Aesop's Fables." Jeanne, coming from a wealthy family, naturally had heard it, but...

"But, what I said is true!"

"When have you ever not said it was true! Behave, Jeanne. This is a church. The Lord will not allow you to confess, and demons cannot enter. If there really is a voice in your head, that is the Lord speaking to you, do you understand?"

The priest said it casually; he completely didn't believe Jeanne's words.

The Lord would speak to a child like you? Then, wouldn't I, an old man who has been a priest for a lifetime, be a failure?

But at this moment, Jeanne's eyes lit up!

"Is it the Lord... speaking to me?"

Do you wish to proceed with the life simulation...

"Yes! Respected Lord!"

Little Jeanne quickly agreed, and then knelt on the ground with special piety to pray... Seeing Jeanne like this, the priest just glanced at her and then ran off to the side to clean the church. ===== CHAPTER 148 =====
