Lin Yan would rather guess that it was because of someone else's obstruction than to think of other reasons.
If it was really for some reason, and the original host was also abandoned by her family, then the original host would be too miserable.
One must know that the original host became the Saintess of Light for the sake of her entire family being on good terms with the Church.
A noble lady of a marquis's family, she enjoyed fine clothes and delicious food from childhood, and did not suffer any hardship even after entering the Church.
Being a Saintess required speaking and acting with caution, maintaining purity of body and mind, and even eating only white bread and flower petals. Drinking dew from flower petals.
More than half of the day was spent praying and studying the scriptures of the Church of Light, dedicating her entire being to the Father God.
The original host was the youngest daughter in the family, always the apple of their eye. If it were not for family reasons, how could she have abandoned her easy life at home and gone to the Church to suffer?
When the original host inherited the position of Saintess of Light, the God of Light descended a miracle. On that day, everyone knew that she was the beloved of the God of Light.
However, all this was no match for the charm of the female lead. The original host had never really paid attention to the female lead.
First, the female lead was too cowardly and never fought for anything, always being bullied by other candidates. Second, the original host's affinity with light was the best among everyone.
High talent coupled with hard work made the original host the best at using light magic among all Saintesses in previous generations.
Even the Pope praised her talent. It was a pity that what they wanted was not a great light mage, but a beautiful and useless decorative vase.
She could be not powerful, or not
However, the original host never expected that the Saint Son who grew up with her would attack her, and that the Knight Commander she personally chose would betray her.
The original host did not find it difficult to accept that she had been stripped of her position as Saintess of Light, but she could not accept that the childhood sweetheart who grew up with her and supported each other would attack her.
She also did not expect that the Knight Commander, who owed her a lot and whom she had promoted herself, would help others instead.
Lin Yan, who had seen the original host's memories, understood that it was simply because the original host was too dazzling, obscuring the Saint Son's radiance.
As for that Knight Commander, it was probably because the debt of gratitude was too heavy to repay. Or perhaps seeing the original host always reminded him of those bleak years.
The current plot had reached the point where the original host was being exiled on the road to the Land of Chaos.
This meant that her life might not last much longer.
"System, did we come a little late this time?"
"No, host. This is the only point in this world's timeline that we could enter."
"Mm, I understand." This mission was likely not going to be easy. Starting with being exiled and constantly being hunted by assassins on the road, the chances of winning were slim.
Lin Yan opened the gap in the window wider and asked the maid walking outside,
"Where are we now?"
"Reporting to Your Excellency. We are nearing Red Pine Territory. Marquis Red Pine has a good relationship with the old Marquis. We can rest at his castle."
"Then, you will find Lisa later and write a post. Have a knight deliver it."
"Alright. Then please close the window and beware of the cold wind outside. The weather has been terrible lately. Your Excellency Saintess, you must not fall ill again."
"Don't call me Your Excellency anymore. I've already been removed from my position, how can I still be called Your Excellency."
"Yes, Miss." Seeing the maid quickly change her address, Lin Yan also smiled. After closing the carriage window, Lin Yan began to recall things about Red Pine Territory.
In the original host's memory, nothing happened in Red Pine Territory. It was only after passing through Red Pine Territory that the assassinations became more frequent.
Although the servant was right that the lord of Red Pine Territory was on friendly terms with her father, she did not completely let down her guard.
After all, the assassinations only began after leaving Red Pine Territory. If the assassination group knew her whereabouts so well, it was likely that this lord was instrumental.
Lin Yan did not plan to visit the lord of Red Pine Territory this time. She planned to find a different place to stay. Although she was no longer the Saintess of Light of the Church, she still had a position within the Church.
Therefore, staying at a church here would be safer than going to Red Pine Territory. At the same time, she could see how the lower-ranking church priests treated her.
Although the Saint Son did many things and slandered her in order to remove her from the position of Saintess of Light, she still had supporters within the Church.
There were too many forces in the Land of Chaos, and she only had a dozen knights with her. In such a place, she would definitely need some help.
The knights she brought were almost all low-level knights, with the strongest being only third-level knights.
Now that she had just arrived in this world, she was not very familiar with the abilities of this world, so she could not confirm whether her current abilities were enough to survive in the Land of Chaos.
The original host had lost her life before she even reached the Land of Chaos.
"Excuse me, please ask Knight Will to find out where the nearest church is. We will stay in the church tonight, and I need to attend mass tomorrow morning."
"Yes, Miss."
Watching the maid walk towards the back of the carriage, Lin Yan closed the window.
She needed to quickly familiarize herself with all the knowledge in her mind, and she also needed to go to the church to see what this world's churches were like.
She remembered that in history, when the Church was at its strongest, there were too many sins hidden within.
In various novels, the Church of Light also seemed to be on the side of the villains quite often.
Because of her noble status, the original host had never had the chance to come into contact with these dark matters.
But from the plot Lin Yan had obtained, it was likely that this Church was not as beautiful as the original host remembered.
The church in Red Pine Territory this time was quite far from the royal city. If there was anything wrong, there would definitely be some clues.
Lin Yan's foundation in this world was too weak. If this Church was usable, she would not mind borrowing the Church's power to change this world.
If this Church had a dark side, as she suspected, she would choose other ways to gain enough power.
Lin Yan heard the muffled sounds of conversation coming from behind, and also heard the sound of a horse's hoof disappearing.
But soon, the voices disappeared, and the hoofbeats began again.
Lin Yan gently closed her eyes and began to sort through the knowledge about this world in her mind.
This was a world with magic, a field completely unfamiliar to Lin Yan. It was a completely new world. She was ready to embark on this new journey.
