Chapter 20. A Random High Priest
The Seven Holy Spirits were a Tangram made of a pile of energy bodies, and also like a constellation in the night sky.
There was a guy in the shape of a scale, which represented contracts and rules. It was called the Holy Spirit of Order, which gave all contracts clear binding power.
The collaborative contract was the weakest of the dozens of contracts because it could be unilaterally torn without any punishment. Even mercenaries would not sign this thing with their employers.
After the contract ceremony ended, Evelyn looked at her hand curiously.
Most of her power had been sealed, and she had returned to Level 1.
However, the binding power was like a layer of paper. She could break through it at any time and return to level 45.
As Char’s level increased, her power would slowly recover until she reached level 45.
That was because her upper limit was level 45.
In “Fantasy World,” most NPCs would not experience drastic changes in their levels. A few of them who had special experiences and talents would only level up faster than the players.
Only by killing Lucius with her own hands, or by knowing the truth, would Evelyn fall into the abyss and level up 90 instantly. It was like cheating.
“I’m curious why you insist on doing this…” said Evelyn.
“I’m just craving your body,” Char said.
Evelyn rolled her eyes. She would never believe this answer.
“Now, can you tell me the answer?”
“Okay,” Char said as he looked up.
“What are you looking at?”
As soon as she asked the question, there was a loud bang above her head!
The Howling Cave shook, and sand and stone fell down.
Worried that the two of them would be buried alive, Evelyn was about to break the contract and force her way out, but Char pulled her back.
At this moment, the ceiling of the cave was suddenly pierced by a beam of golden light that was like a sharp sword. Moist soil fell down with fresh air. The Holy Light was like a spotlight in the center of the stage, and a figure slowly landed from the light.
The robe of the Church of Judgment had a white base and red edges. The overall style was simple.
However, the High Priest had a huge pair of breasts.
She was like a cow, the cross-shaped pendant on her chest creating a deep ravine on her soft robe.
“The High Priest!”
In a moment of excitement, Evelyn subconsciously wanted to run, but Char did not let go.
“Don’t worry. I’m here.”
He gave the Dark Elf a confident smile and walked toward her.
“Respected High Priest.” He bowed respectfully.
“I can feel the blessing on you. You are the one chosen by God.”
The priest’s voice was sweet.
The light vanished, revealing a delicate young face.
It was hard to imagine that the level 50 Priestess of Astan City, Miss Mia, was only 18 years old.
In all senses, she was the only High Priest with such a pair of huge boobs in Astan City.
This angelic girl’s initial favorability toward all legal citizens was friendly, and her favorability toward the Chosen One was even higher.
If you meet Miss Mia who woke up early in the morning on the streets of Astan City, she would give you a sweet smile and give you a blessing huge that increases your defense.
Char could already imagine how the players would view her as a goddess.
…
“Blessed Child of God, please step aside. Behind you is a monster that threatens the world. I’ll purify her. ”
After smiling, Mia revealed a determined expression.
Evelyn began to panic. She realized that even if she broke the contract, she might not be able to escape.
Why did a High Priest suddenly come looking for him? She was so strong!
Had this damned brat been waiting for this moment?
Just as she was feeling uncertain, Char suddenly opened his arms and shouted, “No, High Priest. I swear that she’s kind and not corrupted by the monsters.”
Mia tilted her head and cast [Purification] on Char.
This was much more powerful than Enke Wester’s. The golden light was like a tsunami, bathing his whole body.
Char was fearless as he raised his head.
Mia covered her mouth in surprise.
“Eh? You’re not harmed… But why are you protecting a monster?”
“She’s not a monster, at least not now, Priestess,”
“But she…” Mia looked at Evelyn, her eyes suddenly bulging, looking extremely cute.
“Hey! Why did she become so weak?”
“It’s a contract, High Priest. We’ve signed a master-servant contract,” Char clenched his fists and said emotionally. “Under my persuasion, she understood what is truth, kindness, and beauty. She decided to abandon the power of evil and start from scratch with me. We’ll pursue happiness and freedom together! Did you see that? Even if she was once a monster, she has now been convinced by me and given up all her powers. God asked you to reform the world and do more good deeds. I also followed his teachings and took it as my responsibility to reform demons. Now I have done it!”
She had a strange look in her eyes and had to lower her head to suppress the urge to laugh.
She was even more puzzled..
Could it be that Char knew that the priestess was coming, so he did this in advance?
If that was the case, then it was…
It was too terrifying.
On the other side, the priestes knocked her little head, a little puzzled.
This was the first time she had encountered such a thing.
She did not appear by chance, but a signal from a nearby village.
That was right. It was the novice village where Char was born.
Ksenja rushed back to the village without stopping and handed the Magic Bead to the village chief. The village chief immediately used it to activate the alarm signal in the center of the village.
A magic pillar shot up into the sky like a beacon, informing the observer of the location of the source of the mana through a special communication method.
According to the normal plot, this would only happen after Evelyn died, and her loot was discovered, so she did not know about this at all.
As a result, the High Priest of Astan city, Miss Mia, descended.
Char’s timing was just right, not a minute off, not a second more.
Almost as soon as the contract was completed, the Priestess rushed over. She did not see the process of the contract being formed, only the results.
On the other hand, there was not much difference between the master-servant contract and the collaborative contract. At least, Evelyn was very obedient at that moment.
“If that’s the case… You did the right thing… But…”
Mia bit her lips and put on a pitiful look.
“But how is Mia going to report this to…”
“It’s simple!” Char patted her chest, turned around, and opened the storage box in Evelyn’s hands. She took out all the loot that she had collected and threw them on the ground.
“This should be enough!”
The Dark Elf’s heart was bleeding. She pinched Char’s waist and gritted her teeth, “Master, you’re really generous, hahahaha…”
“It’s nothing!”
Char stroked her hair as if she was a cat.
“Eh? But I still don’t know how to explain this to the Archon…”
Mia tilted her head.
“People need to eat to live, right?” Char asked.
“Yeah, people need to eat to survive.”
“You have to pay for food, right?”
“Oh, yes! You have to spend money to buy bread. There are many poor children in Astan City who can’t afford to eat!”
Snap!
Char snapped his fingers and pointed at the loot on the ground.
“These can be exchanged for money, and money can solve everything. As long as you can bring them back and exchange them for money, you can save more poor people!”
Mia blinked. “But… But where are the monsters?”
“They ran away! After you came, you did not see any monsters at all, only the spoils of war! If we chase after the monsters, these things will be stolen by the greedy people who hear the news and we can’t exchange them for money.”
“Ah? Isn’t this a lie? It’s wrong to lie to…”
“How can you call this lying?” Char’s face was filled with justice. “This is called flexible! The one in front of you isn’t a monster, but a weak Dark Elf like me, Miss Evelyn, who has decided to start all over again.”
“But…”
“No buts, Priestess. Do you want to kill a weak, self-redeemed monster to defend your faith, or be a little more flexible and bring back enough wealth to save the poor? One side is a meaningless massacre, the other side is a genuine act of kindness. Which one do you choose?”
It was like an open-ended question for Mia, so she chose the latter without hesitation.
The High Priest nodded hard as her full chest trembled.
“Hmm! I understand!”
“That’s good.”
“What’s your name?”
“Char.”
[Mia’s favorability toward you has increased.]
“Don’t call me High Priest. Just call me Mia!”
Mia tore a return scroll, and a blue door appeared beside her. She then walked in with a bunch of things.
Before she left, she stuck her head out and said, “Bye-bye, Char. If you need anything, come to Astan city to find me!”
“No problem!”
After sending off the reckless Priestess, Char turned around and saw that Evelyn was looking at him with a complicated expression.
[Evelyn’s favorability toward you has increased.]
