Chapter 224 Divine Arts, Investigator_3

"Priestess Hefei may be very capable, but she cannot be better than you, especially when it comes to recommending candidates for the Holy Maiden,"

Lina expressed concern, "What about your student? Missing this selection might mean she'll never have a chance again."

Technically, age shouldn't matter for the Holy Maiden. Take Flora, for instance; she could continue to serve as the Holy Maiden for another twenty years, as fresh and beautiful as ever. Time would not leave many marks on her—only more grace and charm.

A sixty-year-old Holy Maiden...

It conjures up images of a grandma, or rather, a Holy Grandma, and it's difficult to associate her with purity, affecting the faithful's perfect image of the Goddess.

A twenty-year-old girl, or one who is eighteen or nineteen, is different. Pure and unblemished, refreshingly elegant, her heart untouched by the world, filled only with dreams and freedom—she stands as the very embodiment of purity.
