Xue Dili saw Old Deng, who was amusing the two girls, and noticed that this old thing seed to particularly like children and especially liked playing with them.
"What about you?"
"? I’m basically just a waiter who serves dishes and water, and during special activities, I dress up in various costus. Sotis I play the lying Elf, other tis the Wicked Queen from Snow White, and occasionally Cinderella’s stepmother." Alola talked about their current life to Xue Dili.
Xue Dili almost couldn’t hold back his laughter; he didn’t expect this forr Female Pope to mostly play the role of a villain in the inn.
However, the old Undead and she have indeed blended into this world. Although Xue Dili was very curious about how they ca here and why his mom didn’t elbow them hard, he still didn’t ask.
As long as Old Deng didn’t start urging him to marry and make random matches, Xue Dili felt the problem wasn’t too big.
It’s just that every ti he sees this guy, he’ll be urged to marry once, making Xue Dili only able to wear a face of agony each ti.
"By the way, has your body had any problems recently?" The Female Pope’s words made Xue Dili pause.
If there have been problems, it’s certain. He lost his emotions and feelings, but now it seems to be a bit better; that [Flowing Light Sand] seems to allow him to feel the lost emotions, as if the hope and beauty stored in it suppressed the negative effects brought by power.
"For now, it should be okay." Xue Dili responded, "There were so issues before."
"Mind if I give you a checkup?"
"Uh..." Xue Dili originally wanted to say he minded, but suddenly realized this person is not an ordinary woman, but a forr Pope.
Even though his power might be stronger now, his understanding of the Holy Light is far worse than hers.
"Go ahead then." Xue Dili said.
Alola’s Holy Light instantly entered Xue Dili’s body, and he felt a sensation like soaking in a hot spring.
Her Holy Light even guided out another part of the Holy Light within Xue Dili’s body.
Xue Dili then rembered that he seed to have been baptized many tis by their Church’s Holy Professions to resist his Undead Transformation, although it wasn’t much use in the end and he still turned into an Undead.
Yet that portion of Holy Light still resides within his body, seemingly integrated with him.
Then the Female Pope frowned.
"What’s wrong?" Xue Dili didn’t expect the Pope to find the problem, just held the attitude of "might as well try since it’s free".
"In your soul, there’s a hollow, not a physical hollow, but like a aningless hole; as soon as Holy Light cos close, it’ll be completely absorbed by the hole, yet the hole scarcely changes."
"It’s like... a piece of void..." Her expression suddenly beca serious, staring at Xue Dili and saying earnestly, "If this hole expands to your body, I even believe you might completely turn into a monster called ’Void’, capable of rendering all existence aningless."
Xue Dili frowned deeply, even suspecting if Alola was deliberately exaggerating the problem. Can such information truly be discerned through Holy Light alone?
"However, it seems there’s a path that bypasses this hollow, constructing a brand new bridge for you, if I hadn’t purposely moved Holy Light near it, I wouldn’t have discovered it." She said, "Looks like soone has helped you out?"
"Yes."
"Actually, I think that bridge bypassing the hollow is sufficient, but it can be a bit safer. How about I teach you advanced Holy Light usage? You surely don’t know this; even your grandfather couldn’t learn advanced Holy Light techniques." She smiled, and then, the light went deeper into the body.
What shocked Xue Dili was that the power of the Self-Destructor, after a large influx of light, surprisingly diminished, although only slightly, but it gave Xue Dili an unexpected perspective.
The Great Sage once said, the essence of Holy Light is just a form of energy, fundantally not much different from geothermal energy.
But now it seems Holy Light might have many hidden characteristics they’ve yet to discover.
Then...
The light dimd, and Alola rubbed her eyebrows.
"What’s wrong?" Xue Dili asked back.
"Holy Light is exhausted, your world can’t replenish it. From now on, here, I’m just like an ordinary person, at most just with better physical fitness." She sighed.
Only then did Xue Dili realize that this place is the absolute Forbidden Magic Earth, using magic power reduces it bit by bit.
The only exception being the Silver Country people, especially Old Watson, but truly because their magic source cos from the Evil Eye, and Xue Dili previously absorbed the ability of Evil Eye’s Fantasy Manifestation, thus the source of their magic power eventually connects to Xue Dili.
Even the current Xue Dili couldn’t replicate the miracles of the Silver Country folks.
As for another way to restore magic, only by eating the Divine Tree...this was demonstrated by the Dragon Race cousins to Xue Dili.
"However, Holy Light can indeed react to it. Want to learn Holy Light? I’ll teach you." The Female Pope calmly looked at Xue Dili, her blue eyes focused on him now.
As if rely offering a friend a small favor.
"Really? Those profound Holy Light techniques should be top secret of your Church Court, right?" Xue Dili said casually. His level of magic hadn’t improved much for a long ti.
Especially since Holy Light originally accounted for over half of his usage in magic.
But ever since separating from Uncle Brave, his Holy Light basically hadn’t advanced much, maybe he hit a bottleneck, or he might no longer view Holy Light as a main tool.
"No problem, to the Church Court, you belong to the ’Angel’ sequence, a tier higher than the Pope." She seed to be teasing Xue Dili, "Then I’ll co to teach you Holy Light when I have ti, this way I’m half your teacher."
"Alright, Prison Master." Xue Dili also smiled and greeted.
And just at this mont, the door opened, and the voice of a Young Lady called from outside the house.
"I’m back from evening classes, Aunt, Little Spirit Dragon and Little Tree." Fafnir entered the house, shoulder bag slung over one shoulder.
Then she imdiately saw a strange woman with one hand placed on Xue Dili’s chest, and Xue Dili did not object, letting that unashad woman place her hand there.
Instantly, Fafnir flared up, bent back and rounded her head, as if triggered, even her pointed ears folded back into airplane ears.
"Ha!"
