It was precisely because of the Pope's permission that the Guard Captain finally decided to let them pass.
With the leader's endorsent, even if sothing goes wrong, he wouldn't be held responsible!
"Mist Monastery, Herbert..."
The Guard Captain dismissed the other bishops and stood in the hall, pondering alone: "Why does His Holiness the Pope value them so much? To the extent of allowing them into the Holy City."
Charles thought for a while, then shook his head helplessly and sighed silently.
"Let's hope nothing unexpected happens again; one Lady of Confusion is already enough of a headache, sigh..."
Compared to the visitors from Herbert's monastery, the matter of the Lady of Confusion troubled him more.
The Guard Captain didn't intentionally bring up the matter of the Lady of Confusion to Herbert.
This was actually quite normal.
The Lady of Confusion is only visible to a very few devout priests by sheer chance, and Herbert didn't et this criterion.
Besides, this was a matter for the Sun Church itself, so there was no need to discuss it with an outsider like Herbert.
He truly didn't think Herbert would have any connection to the Lady of Confusion.
"They shouldn't have any connection, right?"
"...Hmm, they shouldn't."
The Guard Captain thought about it, couldn't help but laugh self-mockingly, and said helplessly: "Honestly, what am I thinking?"
"How could such a thing happen?"
"Hahaha!"
...
"Nenasha, did you sense it?"
Herbert tried to communicate with Miss Xie Shen, but there was no response.
This ti, Nenasha wasn't pretending to be dead but was hiding intensely.
This is the main base of the Sun God in the Mortal Realm, and every move here would be noticed by Him.
After entering the Holy City of Radiance, Nenasha completely shut herself off, not responding no matter how much she's called.
Don't bother, I'm not online, leave a ssage if it's urgent.
Herbert rembered this, and couldn't help but tease in his mind: "Hey, didn't you claim not to be afraid? Why are you being so cautious now?"
Hey, isn't this Nenasha?
Where's your usual hairstyle? Why isn't it standing up?
You have your day too!
Just as Herbert was mocking her, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine, instantly becoming alert.
Hiss!
Vaguely, he seed to hear an irritable clicking sound.
["...Tsk!"]
Miss Xie Shen silently expressed her displeasure—don't push it, kid!
"Ahem, it's nothing, I didn't say anything, uh-huh."
And just as Herbert and Nenasha were having their ntal exchange, an unforeseen change was quietly brewing.
At the sa mont, in another corner of the Holy City, an elusive phantom figure that had shown no reaction to the outside world suddenly paused.
The Lady of Confusion, who had been wandering around the Holy City, slowly turned her head, looking silently in a certain direction with her vague and indistinct face.
"...Hmm?"
.
.
At the massive city gates of the Holy City of Radiance.
The bored dragon maid's eyes twinkled as she saw Herbert flying in this direction, her big eyes suddenly lighting up.
"Herbert!"
She didn't care at all about her fearso image of "Crimson Dragon" among so people.
What image?
Is it tasty?
Valentina happily jumped in place, waving to Herbert with joy, looking entirely like an innocent and carefree little girl.
"Co on! Co on! Hurry... hmm?!"
Then, just before Herbert was about to arrive, Valentina's expression froze, her pupils shrinking instantly, abruptly turning her head to the side.
!!?
Her long-neglected instincts sensed a great threat, vaguely feeling a cold and indifferent gaze.
But when she tried to seriously perceive it, she couldn't feel anything at all.
"...Was it just an illusion?"
