Chapter 574: Chapter 329: Flawed People (2-in-1)
Afterward, she pressed down on the petal in front of her, flapping her wings and took off, landing on Anda’s shoulder, her little white feet swinging.
"These naughty kids are so bad, they want to put Iya in a cage, hmph."
Iya snorted discontentedly, clearly complaining to Sister Noelle.
Noelle just gave a slight smile at this.
"Don’t make such mistakes again next time, do you understand?"
"Apologize to Sister Iya."
The group of children clearly held great respect for Noelle.
After hearing Noelle’s reprimand, they obediently and sincerely apologized to Iya.
"Sorry, Sister Iya..."
Hearing the repeated "Sister Iya," Iya couldn’t help but grin.
However, she still pretended to be reluctant and snorted, "Fine, I guess I’ll reluctantly forgive you."
The group of children, hearing this, seemed to receive a pardon, ready to leave as if avoiding something.
However, Noelle’s gentle yet slightly stern voice still reached their ears.
"There is an additional assignment today. Go back and copy the eighth paragraph on the third page of the spellbook fifty times. I will check it tomorrow."
"Ah..." The children immediately hung their heads like wilted eggplants.
Some children wanted to plead with Noelle, but she was unmoved.
The children could only leave with long faces, going home to do their homework.
Seeing this, Anda seemed to want to say something and hesitated for a while before speaking: "Sister Noelle... are these children a bit..."
"Unsavable?" Noelle seemed to know what she wanted to say, gently shaking her head and asked her a question: "Anda, do you think there are people born bad in this world?" frёeωebɳovel.com
Anda instinctively wanted to say no, but she seemed to remember something, paused, and eventually said nothing.
Noelle, however, answered her own question: "From the perspective of ordinary people, there certainly are."
"For instance, this group of so-called ’seeds of corruption.’"
"Seeds of corruption? What seeds?" Iya scratched her head curiously.
It was obvious she hadn’t noticed the origins of the children.
"You’d better go take your nap." Anda looked at Iya on her shoulder. freёwebnovel.com
"Anda, you dare look down on me!" Iya immediately stood up indignantly, grabbing Anda’s little face, pretending to be fierce: "Iya wants to know, you better tell, tell me quickly!"
Before Anda could open her mouth, Noelle had already spoken softly.
"They are children abandoned when the old church fled this island."
"Among the members of the old church, there was mutual closeness under the protection of the church, preventing them from having offspring, but there was no such restriction between church members and non-members."
"Children born in such a manner seem to be cursed, causing their character and bodies to be innately flawed, making them prone to become extremely evil... bad people."
"Oh..."
Iya suddenly had a look of realization, showing an "I understand now" expression.
Anda looked at her with some surprise, not expecting this silly Little Elf to actually understand, not entirely foolish.
But soon she withdrew this thought.
"Anda, what does closeness mean?"
Iya leaned to her ear, whispering inquisitively.
"Pfft..."
Anda couldn’t hold back her laughter.
This silly Little Elf really didn’t understand anything, pretending to know what she doesn’t.
Noelle seemed to have heard too and couldn’t help but cover her mouth, chuckling.
But she obviously wouldn’t explain these things to Iya.
"Oh, Anda, tell me! Quickly tell Iya!"
Seeing Noelle laughing, Iya got a little anxious, shaking her face.
"Oh, it’s exactly like that..." Anda was a bit shy too, her face slightly red: "Just like what you accidentally saw next door last time..."
"Oh..."
This time Iya finally understood, hitting her palm with excitement, saying: "I got it now!"
"You mean the two humans stacked together right! And then the one on top using a big stick to poke..."
"Oh my, you better shut up!"
Seeing Iya speaking more and more excessively, Anda’s face flushed instantly, hastily covering Iya’s small mouth.
This made Noelle beside them somewhat amused.
Still, she also seemed to think of something, her face slightly flushed.
Iya, whose mouth was covered, could only make muffled sounds.
Anda also took the opportunity to change the subject, easing the awkwardness: "Sister Noelle, since that’s the case, why do you still..."
Noelle, however, merely sighed softly: "The sin doesn’t lie within them, ultimately, they are merely the bearers of that sin..."
Hearing this, Anda also fell silent.
Indeed, these children are born with defects, but that’s not a reason why they don’t deserve to live a normal life; the root of the sin doesn’t lie with them.
At this time, Iya also pushed away Anda’s hand.
Although she didn’t mention that embarrassing incident again.
She raised another question: "Noelle, what’s up with your eyes, why are they covered?"
"Iya!" Hearing this, Anda reached out again to cover her mouth: "Don’t speak nonsense!"
Looking after this silly Little Elf is truly a hard task!
However, Noelle obviously didn’t mind at all, she just smiled and then began to tell the story about her eyes.
...
Speaking of which, her blindness is also connected to these children.
Noelle was an orphan, raised by her teacher, an old nun.
Before the arrival of the Black Tide Church, she lived on a secluded island near Scot, in a place called Warm Wind Cottage.
Her teacher had been adopting the "seeds of corruption" from around Scot for a long period, nurturing and teaching them.
