Chapter 113: Is She an Angel?

In the drizzling mountain valley, faced with this question.

Parousia was confused, thinking to herself, ‘Has Hall gone mad?’

‘Why are you asking the Black Rose this question? What if she thinks you’re provoking her and shoots you dead with one arrow?’

At that point, Parousia wouldn’t be able to save Hall, because she knew the Black Rose’s strength was far superior to hers.

Although she didn’t want to admit it, this human woman was indeed stronger than her, at least at the level of a vampire duke.

And the Black Rose herself was also stunned for a moment, then her eyes became even sharper and truly cold.

She didn’t understand what Hall meant.

Her hand, which was holding the bowstring, seemed as if it would let go in the next second.

“Then do you still remember Lord Mandosha Flower?”

“Of course I remember her. I met with her just a while ago.”

Hall said calmly.

It seemed there was a chance.

It seemed that Mandosha Flower had not told the Black Rose about his current situation.

And when the Black Rose heard that Hall had met with Mandosha Flower, her eyes widened, unable to hide her astonishment.

Because Hall, as the Holy Son, should have died with the Angel three years ago.

How could he still be alive?!

If he was still alive, then what was the point of Lord Angel’s death?

This guy, could it be that Lord Angel had sacrificed her life to save him?

Indeed, Lord Angel was so kind, so beautiful, so holy, an existence that surpassed the Church’s Saintess.

Moreover, she was so good to her.

If this man had really been in danger, the Angel would indeed have saved him, even at the cost of her own life.

The Black Rose understood, she also knew.

With the Angel’s mastery of divine arts, there was no one she couldn’t heal, only the price she was willing to pay for it.

She had seen it once.

To heal the injured him, the Angel had cut off her long golden hair, which she had kept for a long time, to the point that for a considerable period of time, the long hair that was her trademark was very short.

A teenage girl, to save a boy, had sacrificed her own beauty.

How could she?

And if she could, was the boy worth it?

The Black Rose had thought so at the time.

But the poor Angel herself had no complaints, so what could she say?

But now…

The Angel was dead, and the Holy Son, who should have died with her, was standing here in the flesh.

And he was asking her, who was he?

Hehe.

The Black Rose wanted to laugh.

She wanted to laugh bitterly, to laugh wildly, to laugh like a madman.

Her bow-drawing hand still held the bowstring at its limit.

She said to Hall.

“I ask you, do you still remember Lord Angel?”

This time, Hall was a little dazed, but he didn’t show it.

He was just thinking frantically.

‘Who is the Angel?’

And to be called “Lord” by the Black Rose, she must be a Sage.

But among the seven Sages of the original game, there was no such codename.

In this timeline, there was an extra Sage.

Since this Sage was mentioned by the Black Rose, it meant that the Angel and Mandosha Flower had a good relationship, so she should also have a relationship with him.

So he said.

“I have an impression, but not much… This Angel, what happened to her?”

Hall couldn’t pretend that he hadn’t lost his memory, because he knew too little.

If he was exposed, the Black Rose would shoot him with an arrow and he would be dead.

He would take it one step at a time.

“You bastard… you man…”

The Black Rose could barely hold back her arrow.

He could also see that she was hesitating whether to shoot or not.

So Hall repeated that sentence.

“Who am I?”

Parousia was getting anxious, thinking to herself, ‘What is Hall up to?’

So she shouted, “If you kill him today, I, Parousia, swear on the name of a pure-blooded vampire, that Mandosha Flower will never let you off!”

Now, there was a dead silence again.

Although it was raining lightly, the moonlight tonight was very, very bright.

When Parousia shouted this, both Hall and the Black Rose were stunned.

Hall didn’t expect Parousia to shout this for him.

The Black Rose, on the other hand, thought, ‘This person is a pure-blooded vampire?’

‘He actually hooked up with a pure-blooded vampire? And this kind of big-breasted, big-butted, not-half-as-elegant-as-Lord-Angel-and-Mandosha-Flower kind of person.’

‘She can’t compare to a single hair of the two lords, and her strength is not as good as hers.’

‘The Holy Son was a scumbag before, but the women he flirted with were not much worse than Mandosha Flower and Lord Angel. Why is he with this kind of vampire now?’

‘With his level, if it weren’t for the fact that the vampire princes were old monsters who had lived for hundreds or thousands of years, he would have surely won them over.’

This Parousia, although she hated Hall, she also looked down on him for Hall’s sake.

The former Holy Son of the dignified Salvation Church, was he starting to settle for women now?

The Black Rose thought for a moment.

Maybe Hall was really busy, and it didn’t look like she was acting.

At least his strength hadn’t dropped much.

If it were the Hall from before, at that distance, he would have directly used the Demon God’s speed-type technique to try to counter her, instead of walking up and pressing his chest against her arrow’s edge.

Forget it.

It was better that he didn’t remember.

Besides, Lord Mandosha Flower must have had a deep meaning in doing so, which was why she hadn’t revealed that Hall was the Holy Son.

So she said casually.

“Forget it. I’ll let you off for Lord Mandosha Flower’s sake.”

But she found that Hall was completely ignoring her.

Because at this moment, Hall was only thinking about one thing.

About him being a promiscuous man.

Actually, it was quite ridiculous that Leticia had fallen in love with him at first sight.

If he had deliberately flirted with her before, like Sophia’s sister.

Then it must have been to survive.

Right…

Maybe not promiscuous.

Just simply to survive.

He also wanted to survive now.

His goal, whether before or after losing his memory, had never changed.

Since he had already left Saint Louis and escaped from the Church’s eyes.

He should consider retrieving his memories.

This so-called Angel was probably also a key powerhouse in the plot.

But a person who could be called an Angel…

Hall’s heart suddenly went cold.

Because in the game.

Some players’ abbreviation for Christine was.

—Angel.

Because when Christine summoned the Starfall Feather and prayed.

She was almost indistinguishable from an angel.

‘No way, could Christine be this so-called Angel?’

---

“Mr. Hall is gone?”

Late at night, in the tenth district of Saint Louis.

There was not much moonlight in the underground street.

Under the dim streetlights, Himan and Moyel, who had come here, had been waiting outside the apartment where Julia was renting for a long time.

They even thought that Hall and Julia had run off to get a room.

But in that case, even if they went to look for them, there would be no clue.

So they decided to start from the west, and maybe they could directly catch the person who came back.

And then give Hall a good lesson.

Moyel, on the other hand, was thinking what to do if Hall really had gotten a room with Julia tonight.

Should she tell her lady the truth?

If Leticia knew, what would she think?

If she gave up on Hall, Moyel felt it would be fine.

It’s just that her attitude had been jumping back and forth…

“Forget it, this is all for my lady.”

Just as Moyel was thinking this, Julia came back, and the three of them exchanged information.

Julia then exclaimed that Hall was gone.

“Yes, Miss Julia. Isn’t Mr. Hall with you?”

“No, I’ve been working for the Adventurers’ Guild in the Demon God’s Labyrinth these past few days. Just on New Year’s Eve, Mr. Hall treated me to a meal of spicy rabbit heads, and then he was gone.”

Julia fell into deep thought.

Hall was not with Himan and Leticia.

And she had already seen the news of Ye Wangxue and Cateline leaving Saint Louis in the newspaper.

After Ye Wangxue had left yesterday, Julia had actually been secretly planning when to find Hall to go on an adventure in the Demon God’s Labyrinth together.

After all, she had heard that Hall often went to the Demon God’s Labyrinth.

But now Hall was not there.

Then where could he have gone?

Could it be…

Christine?

That Saintess Candidate indeed…

If Christine was the girl who had accompanied Hall back then, then it was not impossible for Hall to go and see Christine after seeing off his fiancée.

But it was so late.

Would Hall be having a rendezvous with Christine at the Church?

Julia hinted vaguely.

“Maybe Mr. Hall went to the Church to find Miss Christine?”

“Ah?”

“Maybe it’s possible.”

Himan’s first reaction was that it was impossible.

Moyel, on the other hand, felt that maybe this was the case.

So the three of them decided to go to the Roan Cathedral to visit Christine.

But more than half an hour later, they learned.

“Lady Christine left the cathedral this morning. It seems she has gone to do missionary work in another place.”

The bishop of the Roan Cathedral said so, “Because there have been frequent attacks on clergy recently, I will not reveal where Lady Christine has gone. When she appears again, you three will be able to confirm her whereabouts.”

“Gone to do missionary work?”

Himan and Moyel looked at each other.

Since the Saintess Candidate of the Bal Empire had been attacked, they had indeed increased their guard.

If Christine had gone to do missionary work, there was no reason for Hall to follow, right?

No, it was also possible.

They couldn’t come up with a decision for a moment.

So they said goodbye to the bishop.

But after leaving the cathedral.

Julia said as if she had thought of something.

“The place in the continent with the most serious lack of faith now is the Bal Empire. Maybe Saintess Candidate Christine has gone to the Bal Empire.”

---

“Have you cleaned everything up?”

“It’s all cleaned up. I also found Evan’s accomplice’s file.”

The Black Rose and Hall were now at the mouth of the valley under the moonlight.

Parousia was bored and stood under a tree outside.

The Black Rose had backed up the list of Evan’s accomplices and then handed the original to Hall.

Just now, they had analyzed for about an hour.

She found that although Hall’s strength had decreased and his memory might be damaged, his general way of handling things had not changed.

He was still the same Holy Son.

“Later, I will ask Lord Mandosha to make a decision. Lord Angel’s matter will not end so simply.”

The Black Rose saw that Hall was looking through the list and had no intention of paying attention to her.

So she deliberately emphasized.

“You’ve been talking about the Angel. What happened to the Angel?”

Hall said faintly.

“She… died because of you. You can live well here, but she died. It must be because she saved you.”

“Saved me?”

He looked at the Black Rose’s face.

It didn’t look like she was lying.

She probably had the intention to kill him from the beginning because of this.

If Christine was one of the Seven Sages, [Angel], then how could she be a Saintess Candidate of the Church now?

If the previous condition was met, then it meant that Christine had become [Angel] possibly because of his actions before he lost his memory.

Then could it be that some kind of power had put her plot back on the right track and caused him to lose his memory?

Hall did not consider it deeply.

Whether it was or not.

He had to be careful with the heroines.

It was indeed very dangerous, and his current strength was not as formidable as before.

“What else? Besides saving you, who else is worthy of Lord Angel’s life?”

The Black Rose was also not too clear about what had happened three years ago.

Anyway, at that time, it was Mandosha Flower, the Angel, and the Holy Son, the three Sages, who had gone to a certain secret place together.

It was said that they had found an ancient heritage that was enough to change the world.

But a month later, only Mandosha Flower had appeared alone at the headquarters of the Salvation Church and brought back the news of the death of the Holy Son and the Angel.

At first, the Empress did not believe it.

She had a big fight with Mandosha Flower over this.

She said that Mandosha Flower had taken the heritage for herself and wanted to go and find the Holy Son.

Mandosha Flower said that the Empress could think whatever she wanted, but she would definitely not be able to find the Holy Son and the Angel.

“The Angel may still be alive. You may have a day to reunite with her.”

Hall interrupted the Black Rose’s words.

She glanced at him and knew that Hall was thinking.

The Holy Son’s words were called oracles within the Salvation Church.

He could always accurately predict future situations.

“Are you serious?”

“Serious. She is still alive, but her state is probably similar to mine.”

Christine should also have lost her memory.

If so, then Christine’s weak performance in the game could be explained.

Hall compared his own situation with Christine’s.

They were strikingly similar.

So Mandosha Flower…

Was the last riddle she had left on the night of the engagement to have him save Christine?

The black-haired youth scratched his head.

What kind of mess did his past self get into?

If only he had just stayed low…

Learn from one’s mistakes.

“Since you are now an authoritative specialist of the Black Knights, then you should go back as soon as possible. This is my arrow flower. Bringing this back will win you more trust from the Church.”

The Black Rose walked slowly to the large crater where Colonel Evan had been blown up by the arrow.

Black roses grew from his damaged corpse.

Seeing this situation, Hall was stunned for a moment.

[Magic Arrow Creates Flowers].

This was a special skill that the Black Rose could only comprehend at level ninety.

The effect was that when the Black Rose used an arrow to kill or assist, a magic explosive rose with damage and range of fifty percent of the arrow’s could grow on the corpse.

It was a divine skill for team fights, almost a perpetual motion machine for clearing mobs, and could even produce a stacking explosive effect that was higher than the arrow’s damage in a small area when enemies were dense.

This skill was easier for elf archer women to master.

“You’re level ninety?”

In the game’s plot, the Black Rose was only around eighty-five at this time.

“Almost. I’m not yet level ninety for now.”

“Then how do you know this skill…”

Hall showed a puzzled expression.

The Black Rose, on the other hand, lowered her head and said nothing.

Seeing her like this, he thought to himself, ‘Could it be that he had replenished the Black Rose’s magic and improved her talent?’

Impossible…

“Someone taught me. You should go, quickly. I also have to move to a new position.”

The Black Rose urged.

“Someone taught you?”

Hall thought to himself that there was no one in the Salvation Church with a higher archery talent than her.

And for a human to learn this skill, one must have a talent of [S-] or above to have a chance to comprehend it at level ninety.

As for the skill book, one could only buy it from the elf race or ask for guidance.

Seeing that the Black Rose didn’t want to say more.

He didn’t continue to ask, but in his heart, he was sure that the Black Rose might have had contact with a high-combat-power figure from the elf race.

“Let’s go, Parousia. Let’s go back.”

He took the big-breasted viscountess out of the valley and went far away in the bright moonlight.

And the Black Rose watched the two’s backs.

She didn’t want to say who had taught her archery because that person was not only her half-teacher, but also nominally the Holy Son’s teacher.

But that woman…

Was also Lord Mandosha Flower’s enemy.

“Young Master, you’re back. How was it?”

“It’s handled well. Although we didn’t catch the cultists, we have confirmed that it was the work of the Salvation Church and found the traitor in the Saint Olan army.”

When Hall saw Lov again, four hours had actually passed.

During that time, Brigadier General Andre had taken over the defense of the station.

As the western hub of the Papal State, it could not be sealed off forever.

So the entire station of Saint Olan was gradually being unsealed.

The people from the first emergency response team were still guarding the various passes of the entire station.

And Lov was also able to come out for some fresh air.

“Young Master is so amazing! Lov knew you could do it. This young lady probably didn’t help much, did she?”

Lov suddenly attacked Parousia.

This made Parousia a little anxious.

“He wouldn’t have even found their position without me!”

Actually, thinking about it carefully, she didn’t seem to have been of much use.

Parousia also understood.

She was not sensitive to magic.

If her wings hadn’t been nourished by Hall’s blood, she probably wouldn’t have been able to track the magic traces left by the Black Rose.

Later, Hall wanted her to deal with the non-commissioned officers at the mouth of the valley, but those people had long since been dealt with by the Black Rose’s subordinates.

She was a vase the whole time, just watching Hall and the Black Rose perform.

But she would not admit it.

“Young Master, is that so?”

Lov didn’t believe it.

In her eyes, Parousia was just a noble young lady.

And Lov’s definition and understanding of a noble young lady was a pampered young lady who, besides being beautiful and posing, could do nothing.

Hearing this, Hall’s mouth twitched.

Did this girl have some misunderstanding about noble young ladies?

Hall had some understanding of Lov’s situation.

She was indeed a noble young lady, and of the traditional kind.

She had been well-fed and well-clothed since she was a child, and after she grew up, she also pursued fashion and dressing up.

She was also a pampered young lady, so Hall didn’t say much.

But Parousia was not.

Parousia was the only daughter of a collateral branch of Hall’s family, with outstanding talent.

When she had just entered the army, she had risen to the rank of colonel with her family’s connections, and then directly resigned to enter the army’s reconnaissance department, starting from the lowest-level scout.

With her own efforts and outstanding talent, she had become the unicorn of the reconnaissance department and had the title of “Valkyrie” on the battlefield.

It could be said that she had hardly suffered any hardship.

In Hall’s family, her combat power was not top-notch, but her reconnaissance ability was absolutely unique.

She was also the only family member that Hall did not have to worry about.

“Young Master, you are…”

Parousia did not have Hall’s talent, but she was also one of the few talented individuals in Hall’s family.

Parousia could see Hall’s perfunctory attitude, and she was not happy.

She, a dignified unicorn of the empire’s reconnaissance department, had been stuck here for four hours cleaning up Hall’s mess, without even a sip of water.

Now she was being ridiculed by Lov, and this Hall, not only did he not help her, he even dared to be perfunctory with her.

Hall naturally knew Parousia’s strength.

His previous reconnaissance ability was far inferior to Parousia’s.

Hall dared to say that because he knew Parousia’s strength and her reconnaissance habits.

People in the reconnaissance department all had a habit, which was to like to act alone.

Hall had also been a scout before, so he naturally knew how much people in the reconnaissance department liked to act alone.

That’s why Hall had said that, because Parousia never liked to have a helper.

“Young Master, what are you thinking?”

Seeing that Hall was not speaking, Parousia was a little angry.

Seeing that Parousia was angry, Hall knew that Parousia was thinking about what had happened before.

Hall could only pat Parousia’s head and say, “It won’t happen again.”

Seeing Hall like this, Parousia’s anger also subsided.

“Young Master, let’s go back.”

“Mm.”

Hall took Parousia and Lov and left the station, walking towards Hall’s family’s direction.

On the way, Hall saw many refugees.

They had all escaped from the battlefield.

Seeing this scene, Hall felt very uncomfortable.

He knew the pain that war brought to people, which was why he wanted to end the war.

Hall decided to improve his strength as soon as possible.

Only in this way could he end the war and let the people live a peaceful life.

After Hall returned to his family, he went directly to see the patriarch.

When the patriarch saw Hall, his face was very serious.

“Hall, you’ve caused trouble.”

“Patriarch, I…”

“Do you know how much trouble you’ve caused?”

“Patriarch, I was trying to stop the cultists.”

“Nonsense! Do you know how terrible the cultists are?”

“Patriarch, I’m not afraid.”

“You’re not afraid, but the family is.”

“Patriarch, I will take all the responsibility.”

“Can you bear it?”

The patriarch looked at Hall, his eyes full of disappointment.

Hall knew that the patriarch was disappointed in him, and he did not argue.

“Patriarch, I will prove it to you with my strength.”

“Hmph, I’d like to see what strength you have.”

The patriarch left with a flick of his sleeve.

Hall looked at the patriarch’s back, his eyes full of determination.

He knew that the patriarch did not believe him, but he would prove it to the patriarch with his strength.

After Hall returned to his room, he began to cultivate.

He had to improve his strength as soon as possible.

Only in this way could he protect the people he wanted to protect.

Hall closed his eyes, and the scene of the previous battle with the cultists appeared in his mind.

He knew that his strength was far from enough, so he had to work even harder.

Hall was immersed in cultivation, and his strength was also rapidly improving.

As time passed day by day, Hall’s strength had reached a bottleneck.

He knew he needed to break through, but he couldn’t find a way to break through for the time being.

Hall walked out of his room and saw Parousia and Lov playing in the courtyard.

Seeing this scene, Hall’s mood also improved.

He knew that he was not alone.

He still had Parousia and Lov with him.

“Young Master, you’re out.”

Seeing Hall, Parousia showed a smile.

“Mm, I came out for a walk.”

“Young Master, let’s go shopping.”

“Alright.”

Hall took Parousia and Lov shopping.

They played on the street for a whole day, and Hall’s mood also improved a lot.

At night, after Hall returned to his room, he began to think about a way to break through.

He knew he couldn’t just stagnate.

He had to break through the bottleneck as soon as possible.

Hall thought hard and suddenly thought of the arrow flower the Black Rose had given him before.

He took out the arrow flower and observed it carefully.

He found that there was a special power on the arrow flower.

Hall tried to absorb the power of the arrow flower.

He found that the power of the arrow flower could actually help him break through the bottleneck.

Hall was overjoyed.

He knew he had found a way to break through.

He began to absorb the power of the arrow flower with all his might.

His strength was also rapidly improving.

A few days later, Hall successfully broke through the bottleneck, and his strength reached a new realm.

Hall felt the powerful force in his body and a smile appeared on his face.

He knew that his strength was now strong enough to protect the people he wanted to protect.

Hall walked out of his room and saw the patriarch waiting for him in the courtyard.

“Patriarch, why are you here?”

“Hall, I heard you broke through.”

“Yes.”

“Good, very good.”

The patriarch looked at Hall, his eyes full of admiration.

He knew he had misunderstood Hall before.

Hall had indeed not disappointed him.

“Hall, you are the pride of the family.”

“Thank you, Patriarch.”

Hall knew that the patriarch had already accepted him.

He was very happy in his heart.

“Hall, the family needs you.”

“Patriarch, I will do my best to help the family.”

Hall knew that his responsibility was great, and he would do his best.

He believed that as long as everyone worked together, they would surely be able to protect the family and the Papal State.

“Hall, you go and rest first.”

“Patriarch, I want to go and see the situation with the cultists.”

“Hall, you just broke through, your body still needs to rest.”

“Patriarch, I’m not tired.”

Seeing that Hall insisted, the patriarch did not stop him.

“Then you be careful.”

“Thank you, Patriarch.”

After Hall left his family, he went directly to find Parousia and Lov.

He told them that he was going to investigate the situation with the cultists.

Parousia and Lov both said they wanted to go with Hall.

Hall couldn’t dissuade them and had to agree to let them go with him.

The three of them went to the cultists’ location together.

Hall knew that the cultists’ strength was very powerful, so he told Parousia and Lov to be careful.

They encountered many cultists on the way, and Hall easily dealt with them.

Hall’s strength had far surpassed the cultists.

They soon arrived at the cultists’ headquarters.

After seeing the cultists’ headquarters, Hall’s face became serious.

He knew that the cultists’ headquarters was very dangerous, so he told Parousia and Lov to stay outside, and he would go in alone.

Parousia and Lov both didn’t want Hall to go in alone, but Hall insisted.

They could only obey Hall’s words and stay outside.

Hall went into the cultists’ headquarters alone.

He saw the leader of the cultists.

After seeing Hall, the leader of the cultists’ face showed a surprised expression.

He didn’t expect Hall to be able to find this place.

“Who are you?”

“I am here to end you.”

After Hall finished speaking, he directly attacked the leader of the cultists.

The leader of the cultists didn’t expect Hall to be so powerful.

He was beaten back by Hall.

Hall knew that he could not give the leader of the cultists any chance.

He attacked the leader of the cultists with all his might.

Soon, the leader of the cultists was defeated by Hall.

After Hall dealt with the leader of the cultists, he walked out of the cultists’ headquarters.

Seeing Hall, Parousia and Lov were both very happy.

“Young Master, are you alright?”

“I’m fine.”

After Hall finished speaking, he took Parousia and Lov and left the cultists’ headquarters.

After they returned to their family, Hall told the patriarch that he had already dealt with the cultists.

After hearing Hall’s words, the patriarch’s face showed a surprised expression.

He didn’t expect Hall to be able to deal with the cultists.

“Hall, you are truly the pride of the family.”

“Thank you, Patriarch.”

Hall knew that he had already gained the patriarch’s recognition.

He was very happy in his heart.

After Hall dealt with the cultists, his strength increased again.

He became the hero of the Papal State.

Everyone knew Hall’s name.

Hall finally ended the war and let the people live a peaceful life.

He became the guardian of the Papal State.

He and Parousia and Lov lived a happy life.

She felt that they were all a bit sick.

“I guess so.”

“What do you mean, ‘I guess so’? It’s obvious!”

Parousia wanted to hammer Hall, but Hall ignored her.

He just looked at the platform of the station.

Looking in Hall’s direction, Parousia was also shocked.

When did another Holy Train appear?

And that Holy Train was right behind their Holy Train.

It was obvious that it was also on the line to the Bal Empire.

But there were only two direct Holy Trains from Saint Louis to the Bal Empire every day.

The arrival time of the second train was twelve hours after theirs, which was seven in the morning tomorrow.

At this time, a non-commissioned officer walked over from the side.

“William Russell, Lov Russell, Brigadier General Andre invites you to the station master’s office. He hopes to meet you.”

“Alright.”

Hall had originally wanted to refuse.

Because Brigadier General Andre was his father’s confidant and would surely recognize him.

But thinking about it, it was fine.

He would just have Andre keep his secret.

And at the same time, he would give Andre the list of Colonel Evan’s accomplices to ensure that there would be no problems on his father’s side.

No matter what, the Faxtius family could not have any problems.

In some game routes, it would sometimes happen that Duke Faxtius was judged guilty of treason, and he would then die when the Judgment Bureau raided his house.

This could be considered as reducing a potential death flag.

---

Brigadier General Andre was pacing in the station master’s office.

He had already learned that William Russell had taken the initiative to volunteer to go outside the city to hunt down the traces of the cultists.

But he also knew that the cultists active near Saint Olan were mostly the Black Rose of the Salvation Church.

The Black Rose was a dangerous opponent, and a young man could not withstand her long-range attacks.

If he was ambushed outside the city, he would have a nine-in-ten chance of dying.

So he was very anxious.

But then he looked at the blonde girl sitting quietly in a corner of the station master’s office, in a golden and white dress with corner-cut hems.

He just felt that as long as he wasn’t dead, he could probably be saved.

Two hours ago, not long after the train was attacked.

Another Holy Train that was not on the schedule had entered the station.

After contacting the train conductor, he found that this was Cardinal Roan’s backup train, and on it was Saintess Candidate Christine, who was supposed to arrive in Saint Olan in three days.

The explanation given was that with the Saintess election less than a year away, there might be multiple forces that could threaten Christine’s life.

So the announced arrival in Saint Olan in three days was false information.

It had deceived everyone.

And this sudden situation had solved a burning problem.

—The injuries of Saintess Candidate Ilora.

Ilora, as a Saintess Candidate, had a very high divinity.

The accompanying clergy could not heal her, and the doctor’s treatment was not immediately effective.

In this situation, Ilora’s left kneecap and multiple fractures in her body due to the shockwave, and possible internal bleeding, would require at least six months of recuperation in bed.

If that were the case, she would have to give up her plan to go to the Bal Empire, and this most crucial year of preparation time for the Saintess election would be lost.

It was basically a death sentence.

But Archbishop Malik, who was traveling with Christine, said that as a fellow Saintess Candidate, perhaps Christine could heal Ilora.

With the idea of trying anything, Ilora’s accompanying archbishop agreed to this proposal.

The subsequent result was.

After Christine’s treatment, Ilora’s condition had improved significantly, and she was gradually recovering from her coma.

The doctors and clergy who were assisting Christine on the scene all called it a miracle.

But looking at his own Saintess Candidate’s injuries recovering, the archbishop who had agreed to treat Ilora’s face was extremely ugly.

Because this meant that Christine’s divinity and theological attainments were far superior to Ilora’s.

If this information got out, Ilora would no longer be a rival to Christine in the Saintess election.

“Lady Christine, congratulations. You have successfully defeated another rival before even reaching the Bal Empire. The gods are truly watching over you.”

In the station master’s office, Maria whispered to Christine.

The Saintess Candidate of the Bal Empire was attacked, and Ilora was healed by Christine.

The Saintess Candidate of the Cateline Kingdom’s popular faith was not as good as the empress.

This had already eliminated three rivals.

“Mm, Maria…”

Christine did not show much happiness.

She knew very well in her heart what was going on.

Ilora had just been attacked and needed treatment, and she had arrived in Saint Olan.

It was not a coincidence at all.

But she did not expose it.

But it didn’t matter.

Her goal was to become the Saintess.

Everything else had to take a back seat.

And the reason she was in the station master’s office now was actually because she had heard Brigadier General Andre say that there might be other people who needed treatment.

She looked at the list.

—William Russell, Lov Russell.

And William Russell was also a specialist of the Black Knights.

As intelligent as she was, she basically understood in an instant.

If he was here, this trip would probably not be too boring.

Just as she was thinking this.

The door to the station master’s office was pushed open.

A non-commissioned officer led Hall and Lov in.

In that instant.

The non-commissioned officer found that Brigadier General Andre, who always had a calm and watery expression, showed a look of astonishment.

“Long time no see, Young Master Hall~”

When Christine greeted him with a sweet voice.

Andre’s expression became even more astonished.

At the same time, Hall also looked over, and Lov’s small face was directly stunned.
