"I'm done here." Sera let out a long breath, feeling tired after tying up over 30 people.
"Nice. Are you going to inform the authority right now? As much as I want to help, Anubis still has to remain." Nathan pointed at Anubis. There were over fifty bandits that were still alive, so Anubis had to tie up the rest with his bandages.
"Don't worry. I have been receiving a lot from you, so I'll take care of everything else. Please watch over them while I'm reporting this to the governnt."
"Sure." Nathan waved his hand.
Brunhild volunteered to take her to the city since she could also fly. In the end, the fallen angel and the angel had to return.
Nathan just brought the bandits to the main hall and cooled down.
Fenrir asked, "When are we going to the Ancient Library?"
"Let ask a couple of questions first, since they are going to disappear after the trial ends. As for the ti… I think the trial will end in one or two hours." Nathan explained.
"Alright. I'll just sleep here then." Fenrir walked to the basent, since it was the coolest place in this desert. Anubis remained by his side while Nidhogg had already returned.
As Nathan predicted, Sera ca back an hour later.
"I'm back. The soldiers will co to this place in thirty minutes. I have explained the circumstances, and they will take care of it. I'm grateful that the guards are understanding." Sera smiled. "It's thanks to you. Although I want to repay you, I don't know what I can give you right now."
"Don't worry about it. Instead, how about answering a couple of questions from ?"
"If I can answer, then yes, with pleasure." Sera nodded.
"First of all, why are you wearing clothes like these?"
"What do you an?" Sera tilted her head in confusion.
"I an, your clothes look tight, and the skirt has slits on the sides. Are you wearing the formal clothes from the church?"
"Ah!" Sera nodded in understanding. "I'm not wearing formal clothes. According to Sonia… I an, my fallen angel, if I wear clothes like these, I can get more benefits from the people. In fact, I'll be more popular, and the people will be more likely to follow the church.
"I can't really deny it. A lot of people have been giving more donations. They actually look happier as well. And it's not like I'm showing too much."
Nathan blinked his eyes a few tis while Anubis said, "She got a point."
'What a devious plan from the fallen angel! She is trying to corrupt her more and more. As one would expect from a fallen angel… I an, she has done a good job!' Nathan's gaze beca more intense. Of course, there was no way he could say it.
Instead, he asked, while maintaining his poker face. "Does the church not reprimand you about it?"
"Well, yes. In fact, my teacher has told about it and doesn't know what to do."
"That's understandable." Nathan thought, 'A corrupt priestess, huh? That sounds nice, but… no, wait. I have read a lot of stories about both extres. The one who is filled with too much justice is annoying, but the opposite side is also troubleso.
'Should I attempt sothing that is rarely seen? Instead of both sides, should I combine them together?' Nathan looked at Sera, imagining her having a white wing and a black wing.
'Yes. This is it. From a universal point of view, this is balance. From martial arts's perspective, this is yin and yang. In normal people's eyes, this is day and night. Hehehe.
I am a genius.' Still, Nathan couldn't help but sigh. 'Then again, she is just an illusion. This will be over once the trial is completed. Such a sha.'
"What's wrong?" Sera didn't know about Nathan's evil plan.
"It's nothing. As long as you know the limit, I think you will do just fine." Nathan hurriedly distracted her with a few more questions until the soldiers arrived.
Sera imdiately greeted the soldiers and let them take over the situation. They tied them up and brought the bandit with them.
With this, the mission should have been completed. After the soldiers left, Nathan decided to get going.
"It's thanks to you that this matter can be resolved in such a manner. For that, I'm grateful. If fate allows us, I hope we can et again in the future."
"Alright. Now that everything has been settled, it's ti to go to the Ancient Library of the Fairy Queen." Nathan grinned, his eyes so bright as if they were saying, 'Take please.'
"Huh?" Sera tilted her head in confusion.
"Huh?" Nathan was taken aback by her response, which made him realize sothing. "You… are not the one that will bring to the ancient library? You are not the guide?"
Sera took a step back with a dumbfounded expression.
He had done all that and even completed the mission with a flying color. When he saw Sera's expression, all the mories from the past two days resurfaced in his mind.
The mission had been going exceptionally well this whole ti. In fact, the situation was much more predictable compared to what he experienced so far.
At the sa ti, he realized that the simplicity of this mission ca not from the bandits or Sera, but actually from the villagers. If the enemies were ford by the uneducated villagers, there was no way they could form a good plan against him and Sera.
In other words, what if this was real? What if not a single thing was like he thought? What if this was not the trial?
Nathan froze as he couldn't help but rember his luck as well as what the elder said to him.
"Your life will be filled with problems. However, all your luck has gone to won. Basically, your luck with won is the highest one I've seen in my entire life. So you either die because of those problems or lead a fulfilling life."
He finally understood those words. What he ant by his luck was Sera. anwhile, the rest of it was just him being unlucky. After all, he had to search for the guide from scratch.
The mont he realized Sera wasn't the guide, he couldn't help but scream, "FUUU—"
