Honkai Star Rail: Godly Script System Chapter 64: A Lesson and a Growing Feeling

Already seeing through the villagers' true motive, Lucian stood silently, smiling like soone watching a play unfold.

It seed that today, there might be a chance to teach the two sisters a lesson.

"A holy maiden! You must be a holy maiden!"

Exclaiming in excitent, an old man—apparently the village chief—imdiately knelt before Castorice like a devout believer.

In the very next mont, the other villagers actually followed, falling to their knees in worship.

"It must be Talanton above, who has seen our suffering and sent a holy maiden to save us!"

"Thank you, Holy Maiden!"

As dozens of people bowed and knelt before her, praising her like fanatics, Castorice's social anxiety was stirred.

Yet, despite her nerves, she felt genuine happiness because, for the very first ti, she had saved lives with her own hands and was no longer just a reaper who could only bring death.

For once, she truly embraced the joy of saving people.

"As I thought, Elder Sister is more suited to be the holy maiden who grants life..." Polyxia muttered softly as she gazed at her sister. "And I'll be the reaper that grants death..."

Hearing her mutter, Lucian glanced at her for a mont, then reached out to ruffle her hair.

"You are you, Cas is Cas." Lucian said calmly, a faint smile adorning his face. "No need to compare yourself."

Upon hearing this, Polyxia fell silent.

anwhile, the villagers, after worshiping Castorice for a while, warmly invited her to visit their village, but being soone who was not good at talking, she could not handle so much enthusiasm, so she looked to Lucian for help.

Seeing Lucian silently shake his head, Castorice decisively refused the villagers' invitation, but...

"Please, Holy Maiden, co back to the village with us. We will do everything to repay you."

Not giving up, the village chief's tone beca rather solemn, even sowhat forceful, as he persuaded Castorice.

"No, thank you for your kindness, but my companions and I need to leave."

Castorice naturally refused.

She had already decided that she would only stay with Lucian, so if he didn't go, neither would she.

However, as Castorice prepared to turn and leave, the villagers imdiately spread out, surrounding Lucian, Castorice, and Polyxia.

"Sorry, Holy Maiden, but you made the wrong choice."

Wearing a half-smile, the village chief stepped forward and spoke calmly, looking like a completely different person.

"You see, I am actually a Chrysos Heir."

"Yes, I'm stronger than ordinary people, but in the end, I can still die."

"And you, being able to resurrect the dead... that's exactly the power I need."

"As you can see, I don't have many years left, but I don't want to die yet, so I need your power."

"I'm sorry, but you must stay."

Hearing the village chief ramble on and on about his situation for quite so ti, Lucian finally understood.

According to his words, this old man was a Chrysos Heir who had once followed Sovereign Cerydra to fight the Titans for their Coreflas decades ago. Unfortunately, they were utterly defeated, with Cerydra going missing, while his own life force was drained.

As a result, even though his actual age was only thirty, the village chief looked like an old man nearing a hundred, already close to death.

Because Chrysos Heirs were stronger than ordinary people, he had gathered a group of them, pretending to be ordinary villagers while robbing passing travelers for money and won, wanting to live wildly and unscrupulously for a few more years before dying.

Needless to say, they were no different from a bandit group.

It was just that today, while carrying out the sa routine to deceive passing travelers, the village chief had never expected to encounter soone who could resurrect the dead, which left him thrilled.

"I see... so the five people who were just resurrected were all your accomplices, killed in a robbery that went wrong..."

Castorice lowered her head and pressed her lips together, quickly realizing she had actually resurrected five criminals.

Knowing these people had deceived her, she was obviously furious.

"Hehe, that's right. Thanks for saving us, Holy Maiden."

One of the resurrected n curled his lips into a mocking smile, which made Castorice and Polyxia feel nothing but disgust.

"Alright, don't hurt the precious holy maiden. As for the other two, they seem close to her, so capture them first. I'm sure she will cooperate then."

As soon as the village chief's words fell, every villager turned to Lucian and Polyxia.

An ordinary handso young man and a delicate young woman—they seed easy to capture, no matter how you looked at it.

"Cas, this is your first lesson about having the miraculous power to resurrect." Lucian chid in calmly, not a trace of panic in his voice. "If you bring back the wrong people, you need to be the one to send them off again."

At this, the village chief narrowed his eyes and glanced at Lucian.

"I see you really can't read the situation, little punk. You—"

Just as the village chief was about to boast, a size-42 shoe suddenly appeared before his eyes, cutting his words short.

In that fleeting instant, the village chief heard Lucian's voice.

"Old fart, you're yapping too much."

*BANG!*

With a single kick, everyone saw the village chief fly out like a cannonball, smashing through two trees, his body twisted out of shape.

In that instant, the villagers, stunned by the sudden scene, knew there was no way the village chief could have survived.

What was that inhuman speed just now?

Was the young man even human?

He had clearly been surrounded, so how did he suddenly appear right in front of the village chief?

All the villagers looked at each other, realizing they had kicked a hornet's nest this ti.

"H-Hey, the chief is dead… with just one kick?"

"Are Chrysos Heirs really that weak?"

"No, it's that guy who's too strong! Run!"

Not seeing even the slightest movent from the village chief, the villagers knew he was already dead.

Knowing they couldn't win, they tried to run, but sadly for them, roots suddenly burst from the ground and wrapped around their bodies, leaving them unable to move.

"Cas, send them off." Lucian said calmly, his eyes full of indifference.

Castorice and Polyxia exchanged a glance.

Yes, they were kind, but they were not saints—they would help those in need, but when faced with enemies, these sisters were not pushovers.

Polyxia nodded at Castorice, who then walked forward without hesitation.

In the next mont, with a wave of her left hand, Castorice claid the villagers' lives, turning them into glowing butterflies that scattered into the air.

In an instant, everything around them returned to calm.

Only the village chief's corpse in the woods remained as proof of the murder that had just occurred.

"When I resurrected them, I was really happy, because I wasn't just a reaper anymore..." Castorice gazed at the sky, her expression downcast, sorrowful, and heavy with guilt. "But... they lied... I... I almost brought so vile people back to life, people who would have gone on to hurt good people..."

Seeing her standing there, blaming herself, Lucian walked up to her and gently hugged her.

"Cas, you're kind, so it's only natural for you to want to save those who are suffering. Please, don't bla yourself."

Lucian spoke softly, gently stroking Castorice's back.

"What you did wasn't wrong, so go ahead and help anyone you wish. If soone tricks you like before, just leave them to . I'll drag them back before you and make them confess their sins."

"I won't allow anyone to trample on your kindness."

Upon hearing this, Castorice's eyes began to blur as tears welled up.

Hearing such honeyed words, how could a woman who had never experienced love possibly resist?

As a result, Castorice's emotions soared to their peak, to the point where her heart pounded so wildly it felt as if it would burst out of her chest.

"I'm not a child anymore, but... thank you..."

Castorice whispered softly as she wrapped her arms tightly around Lucian's waist and pressed her face to his chest.

Even Polyxia, who watched from the sidelines, was so overwheld by the sweetness that her scalp tingled.

In her eyes, Lucian now shone so brightly, so handso it was hard to put into words—she even felt an urge to hug him herself, but unfortunately, this was not the right ti.

"Well, I'll go back to the nether realm and continue to work." Polyxia chid in with a smile. "Elder Sister, Lucian, see you in a year..."

Leaving these words behind, she quickly escaped through a purple portal, feeling that if she stayed a second longer, she might end up doing sothing unexpected to Lucian.

Just like that, before Lucian and Castorice could say anything, Polyxia's figure had already disappeared.

Seeing the empty spot where Polyxia had been, Lucian smiled wryly before glancing at Castorice.

"So... where do you want to go next?"

At Lucian's question, Castorice thought for a mont, her beautiful eyes gazing at him.

"I've been a reaper since I was a child, so from now on... I want to travel to different places... and save people..." Castorice said softly, her expression slightly tense. "So... would you—"

Before she could finish her words, a slender finger pressed gently against her lips.

"No need to ask." Lucian shook his head, then gave a gentle smile. "But if you ask, the answer is yes."

At this, Castorice smiled as well, her eyes curving like crescents as her tense expression eased.

In fact, she had been so afraid Lucian would say 'no,' but fortunately, he did not.

At this mont, a feeling Castrice couldn't describe began to grow inside her—though she didn't understand it yet, she was starting to notice it.
