Chapter 35. Righteous Soul

“Can I leave now?”

When Maica raised his head, there was a pair of feet in front of him.

She was barefooted, her toenails had been soaked black, and her ankles were full of bruises.

Oh, so it was that child beggar.

Maica did not know about the relationship between Luke and Mayenne. He had adopted Luke only because he had seen him walking alone in the snow. A wolf had pounced on him, but he killed it in one blow.

It was five years ago when Luke was only seven or eight years old.

Maica thought that this kid had potential, so he took him in.

However, five years later, Luke was still only able to kill one wolf in seconds. The moves that he had been storing power for a long time could not even kill a young Ogre.

Just like Char, Luke would often be sent flying by a kick. He could not even break through his opponent’s defense.

Maica was angry that he had made a wrong judgment, but the strange thing was that this guy could calm down the sea monsters that often went crazy, so he decided to take him in to make up the numbers.

“Who told you that?” Maica stood up, patted the dirt off his body, and looked up. “Have you paid me back?”

Luke turned around and looked at Char.

“Of course, I paid it off.”

Char picked up the money bag with 482 gold coins, shook it in front of Maica, and then put it away like a magic trick.

“If he hasn’t, I’ll come back tomorrow to pay for him.”

“Hurry up and get lost!”

Maica waved his hands frantically.

Char and the other two left with the money.

…

The three of them appeared on the street outside the sewer when Luke suddenly stopped.

“Thank you, sir.”

“I’m Char.”

“Thank you, Char.”

“You’re going back?”

“How did you know?” Luke was shocked again. “You seem to know a lot of things. You know those people very well. They’ve all been frightened, but I’ve never seen you before.”

“Luke, we all have our own secrets, don’t we?”

Luke lowered his head.

“Yes, sir. I also have one.”

“Help me do something before you go back, Luke.”

“Tell me, I’ll definitely do it.”

“Do you still remember your neighbor when you were seven years old?” Char asked.

“Yes, I do. It’s Sister Mia, who’s not very smart.”

“Yes, she is now the Priestess of Astan City.”

The Grand Priest? A hint of disappointment flashed through Luke’s eyes/ His… student?”

“Yes, his student. You want to save Tippi, don’t you?”

Luke raised his head abruptly, his eyes filled with vigilance.

If Char’s previous guess that he was going back was an ambiguous guess, then this sentence meant that Char knew his biggest secret.

This was also what Luke was most afraid of others knowing.

He was an ugly, huge, and ferocious monster.

No one wanted to be like that.

However, he could not change his fate. He did not even have the right to hate.

Fredrick would visit Astan City every once in a while to erase Luke’s memory and eliminate his hatred.

Therefore, Luke did not even have time to accumulate his hatred for his biological father. It was not deep enough, and only had a slight conflict with him.

In “Fantasy World”, godhood suppressed humanity and even destroyed it. Therefore, Fredrick, who had lost his humanity, was the human being closest to a God.

He knew something about Gods. Otherwise, he would have become a God long ago.

His fear of death made him listen to Zin’rokh’s lies and choose the path of destruction.

“Everyone has their own secrets, but not everyone can keep them.” Char smiled and patted Luke’s shoulder.

“In exchange, how about I tell you a secret?”

“Alright,” he said.

“Then come over here.”

Char hooked her finger and whispered something into his ear.

The two of them deliberately avoided her. However, the Dark Elf’s pointy ears twitched and her face blushed.

“Tsk… You’re so glib.”

After Char finished speaking, Luke tilted his head and looked at her.

“Is she the Big Sister Evelyn you like? ”

“Yes.”

Char immediately pretended to be embarrassed and scratched his head.

“Ha… You… How could you say it out loud… I was just playing with you…”

“We’re even,” said Luke. “I want to save Tippi, but I don’t know what to do.”

“Go and see Big Sister Mia. She will help you.”

Upon hearing the name Mia, Luke’s eyes dimmed.

“I don’t want to have anything to do with her.”

Char shook her head. “Mia is Mia. She has nothing to do with him.”

Luke was silent for a moment as if he had accepted it.

“Thank you, Char. Will we ever meet again?”

“Yes, we will.”

“Thank you. Good luck, Char.”

…

The two left the slums and found a hotel in the downtown area of Astan City.

With 482 gold coins in her pocket, Char had chosen the cheapest hotel and room.

There was only one bed.

Looking at the bed that was too narrow for one person to sleep on, Evelyn hesitated.

“Don’t tell me you’re thinking of…”

“Don’t misunderstand. I’m such an upright person, how could I have such dirty thoughts…” Char quickly defended himself.

“So you mean…” The Dark Elf frowned.

“I’ll sleep on the bed/ You sleep on the floor.

“Is there a problem?”

“Do you even know what a gentleman is?”

“Of course I do. It’s not like you didn’t see how I was so gentlemanly with Ksenja. Behind every gentleman’s demeanor was an ultimate goal that you thought was dirty. I’m not gentlemanly to you at all, which just proves that I have no distracting thoughts and am an upright person.”

For a moment, Evelyn could not find any words to refute him.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

“Who’s there?”

The Dark Elf opened the door in confusion. Then, her body froze.

In front of him was a powerful aura of holy light, which was as dazzling as the sun.

“Ah, it’s you. Char must be here, right?”

The visitor was Mia.

His iconic physical characteristics were hidden under his white priest robe.

However, Evelyn’s eyes were fixed on the cross-shaped pendant in front of Mia’s breast.

It was the key to return to Andaheim, the pass for her to see Lucius.

She chanted in her heart.

“Hey, monster, is Char here?”

“What are you shouting for? I have a name,” said Evelynn impatiently.

“But you’re still a monster even if you have a name.” Mia blinked. “I’ll call you by your name a few more times when you’ve completely changed for the better. I’m calling you a monster now to warn you to be on guard against Zin’rokh’s temptation and corruption. Do you understand?”

B*tch!

It was the first time that Evelyn desired power so much.

If it was not for the fact that she could not kill Mia, she would have done it a few times.

Char only appeared at the other end of the corridor after the two women were finished.

“Ah, it’s Miss Mia!”

“Char! Thank you for helping me find Luke!”

Mia excitedly charged toward Char.

Char had received a notification from the moment she said that.

[Mia’s favorability toward you has increased to intimate.]
