Chapter 176 A Very Good Woman
Time waited and waited.
Just as Xia Er was about to fall asleep, he heard the sound of the door opening. The person who opened the door was a woman with a beautiful and elegant appearance, dressed in a black robe with purple patterns. She looked to be in her early thirties and had a pair of gray eyes that seemed to be able to see through one's soul.
"I think I can explain."
Chael was in someone else's house, sitting in someone else's chair, reading someone else's book, and claiming he could explain it all.
He might feel he could explain, but Lovia, who was in a somewhat agitated mood, clearly didn't want to hear it.
She hadn't heard any noise before she entered the room, so what could it be?
Let's take it first and talk about the rest later.
The shadows in the room seemed to come alive, surging towards Shael. Lovia used her extraordinary ability as a 'warrior' to gather the power of dawn and condense a two-handed greatsword, then slashed heavily at Shael, seemingly finding the area below his neck a bit of a hindrance.
"You're too kind."
"Shouldn't Silver City at least be a little more friendly to 'outsiders'?"
Xia Er didn't move. After Luo Weiya got close, he directly expanded the dark domain of the Holy Sword itself. The writhing shadows returned to calm, and the terrifying spiritual light took effect automatically. Luo Weiya's attack posture paused, not only because the whisper in her ear weakened, but also because she saw what terrified her the most.
The person in front of her was no longer a stranger, but her husband, covered in blood, begging to be eaten by her.
Snapped!
When that hand landed on Lovia's shoulder, the "shepherd" almost instinctively covered her mouth, not wanting to think about what would happen next.
But soon, the initial shock of the terrifying aura ended, and the "shepherd" came to his senses, looking at the stranger in front of him with his eyes gradually turning cold.
The spirit of her husband, whom she was herding, reminded her that there was nothing to fear, for she had already devoured him.
"Although the shepherd has no fatal parts in his body, you will still die if this longsword that can corrode the spirit pierces through your brain."
Shael pressed the bone sword flat against Lovia's shoulder and laughed.
"Who are you?"
Even without any deliberate attack, Lovia could still feel that her emotions had become 'calm' under the influence of the sword. Her gray eyes looked at the guy in front of her, sizing up this uninvited 'outsider'.
"Wouldn't this make it clearer for you about my background?"
Xia Er cut her finger so that she could clearly see the blood flowing out, and with a gentle flick, a drop of blood flew out.
Lovia frowned slightly. She used flesh magic to control the drop of blood and made a simple judgment. There was no familiar curse aura in the blood. This person did not belong to the Forsaken Land.
"You suppressed your voice?"
Lovia was speaking the language of the true creator.
"It's not that exaggerated, I'm just temporarily lowering the volume."
"I am humble," said Xia Er.
"Please sit down."
He sheathed the "Holy Sword," placed it flat on the table, and gestured for Lovia to sit down with him.
"What is your purpose in coming to me?"
Lovia couldn't see through Xia'er for the time being, so she could only sit down with him.
My arrival here was somewhat unexpected.
"It is indeed difficult to survive in the land of the forsaken gods. After infiltrating your Silver City, you will need to find a place to rest temporarily. You are the most suitable. You have a certain status, but you are not a core member. You are somewhat aloof and also quite beautiful."
As he spoke, he used the "Eye of the Wind" to cast a simple spell, filling the two cups on the table with water.
"Could you purify it?"
Xia Er gestured to Luo Weiya.
Lovia didn't like Chael's attitude, but she still used the power of dawn to purify the water.
She had questions that needed answers, and the other party seemed to feel the same way.
"As you can see, I am a chosen one of God."
"According to the most basic historical records of Silver City that I learned through my dream, you should have heard the name of my lord—the Goddess of Night."
"Ordinary people in Silver City may not know about you, but you are an elder of the Silver City Council of Six. You must have heard of my Lord. My Lord should have had a faith in him during the Third Age."
Xia Er picked up the cup and slowly turned it around as she spoke.
It's impossible for the higher-ups in Silver City to be completely unaware of the name "Goddess of the Night".
The glorious era of the Third Age has a history of nearly a thousand years.
Silver City was not a small power at the time.
Lovia had indeed heard of the title "Goddess of the Night," and she now understood that this might be a rather important "diplomatic event" for Silver City. Silver City hadn't seen any "normal" outsiders for far too long. However, she was somewhat puzzled:
"Why don't you contact Chief Colin?"
Lovia felt that as a chosen one of the gods, she could directly "visit" Silver City. Chief Colin of Silver City wouldn't deliberately make things difficult for a chosen one of the gods, as Silver City had lost the protection of the gods for far too long.
"You're easier to control."
"Besides, my arrival in Silver City was a coincidence. I still need to find a way to leave, and I don't want to face too many reasonable tests from Silver City."
To be honest, Xia Er didn't want to steal Mr. Fool's chance to "perform a miracle," and the Goddess of Night certainly didn't want to either.
Can he still steal the Night's pet's "food" and run to Night himself to "receive his reward"?
"You're easier to handle..." Lovia frowned, as if to confirm this statement. She couldn't make a move yet, which was somewhat disheartening for her, and her gaze towards Xia Er became even colder.
"I won't stay long."
"I'm not ready to cause a sensation in Silver City."
In reality, Xia Er already wanted to go back, but she was just pretending to be more convincing.
Even if you insist on explaining it as a lucky encounter, he can't just disappear for three days and then come back and say he hit the jackpot, can he?
"Do you have a way to leave the 'Forsaken Land'?"
The coldness in Lovia's eyes vanished instantly, and her tension was evident from her slightly tense back. The answer to this question was far too important for Silver City.
"My method is related to my Lord, but I cannot guarantee it."
Xia Er shrugged. "Bringing one person might be possible, but with a group of people, even 'the Lord' would have a hard time."
"As expected?"
Luo Weiya murmured softly, her eyes gradually deepening, the struggle and hesitation dissolving as if she were about to make a decision.
"If you want to find a way to save Silver City by believing in the true Creator, I think it's feasible."
"The road to the outside world is in the west, and to leave requires the tacit approval of the true Creator."
"You made the right choice, Miss Shepherd."
Chael did not offer an alternative path.
He thought Lovia's choice was excellent. It was the result of her careful consideration, not a passive acceptance, but an active choice. She was very proactive and a wonderful woman.
Xia Er looked at Lovia with admiration, and just looking at her made him feel happy.
Such a gaze made the shepherdess turn her head away, avoiding eye contact. Her initial determination turned into self-doubt as a result of this inexplicable affirmation.
Honestly, why did you suddenly have to be so sure about her?
baffling!
