Chapter 431 The Angel Whose Home Was Stolen

Vermeer's room at the Saint-Proche Palace.

The girl's notes were carefully arranged on the desk, and the bookmarked areas seemed to be the parts she planned to read before going to bed.

But not anymore.

The main lighting in the room had long been turned off, leaving only a bedside lamp on his side still on. Under the dim candlelight, the silhouettes of the two girls with their backs turned were clearly outlined.

Vermeer: ​​"..."

Ayi Ning: "..."

During the long silence, a subtle atmosphere gradually fermented.

Ayining pursed her lips and looked to the side, paying close attention to the movements behind her. It seemed that what happened in the hot spring made her unconscious and she had already missed the opportunity to get up.

If I could just spend a night like this in peace, that would be nice...

……

Lan Temple, Holy Fire Plateau Temple Leader.

Saya stood up from the top of the stone pillar of the temple, jumped down, folded her wings, opened her crimson eyes and stared at the night scene in the distant fields.

After passing a certain threshold, she could no longer draw more magic power from the temple array in the past two days, and the power accumulated by the godhead seemed to have been reborn.

In other words, the time has come.

She came to the temple master's residence without hesitation. After pushing open the door of the office, even at night, Nicole still sat behind the desk as usual, as if nothing had changed in decades.

When Nicole saw Saya coming in, she seemed to have expected it. She slowly took off the monocle on her left eye and rubbed her forehead.

"Every time you come in like this in the middle of the night, I think there's going to be a mutiny in the temple."

Saya looked at her and said nothing.

Nicole rubbed her shoulders and raised her head: "We are finally leaving, right? I have already started thinking about holding a celebration party later. Everyone in the temple should be sincerely happy."

"Don't talk to me about this," Shaye was too lazy to argue with her, "Just tell me whether you agree or not!"

"I agree. Why not? Do you think I don't want you to leave?" Nicole said as she took a small mirror from under the table and looked at the wrinkles that had appeared around her eyes over the past two days. "You are simply my number one enemy on the road to maintenance."

Saya looked at her with extreme disgust.

Is there anything worth wasting energy on that face? It has been the same for decades, so she is the only one who thinks it matters.

"I'm leaving tomorrow morning, don't say I didn't say hello."

After saying this, she didn't even bother to look at it any more and turned to leave.

"Wait—" Nicole called her from behind, "I have something else to say."

Saya turned back impatiently, thinking that this guy should take care of his brain more than his face, so that he wouldn't always remember to say something when someone was about to leave.

"It's about Maria." Nicole said solemnly.

"..." Saya raised her eyes, but did not cause much ripples, "What do you want to say?"

Nicole closed the mirror in her hand, put it under the table, crossed her fingers, and looked over with deep eyes.

"I have been stopping you from investigating because I sensed that there is more to this matter than meets the eye," Nicole said in the tone of a temple leader. "Maria was also involved in the concerning parts of your report on the Crownless City, right?"

"..."

Saya tilted her head and looked up at her.

So she had seen through it a long time ago, so why did she wait until she was about to leave to tell him? He was not surprised because she didn't know more about Maria than he did.

Nicole pulled a sealed document from the bottom of the drawer and threw it on the table.

"Here, this is the temple's investigation report on Maria's disappearance thirty years ago. It also contains all the biographical information about Aluma, the Second Master of the Craftsmen's Guild, that I asked someone to find out recently."

"You...why..."

Saya frowned deeply.

I've asked her for the investigation report many times in the past, but she always refused without any negotiation. And what's the matter with the information about the second seat of the Artisan Association? It has nothing to do with the report to the temple, so why did she go to check this?
"I can't help it," Nicole took a deep breath and yawned. "At my age, I still want to give it a try. If you can get to the bottom of this matter, I will surely be on the shortlist for the next Pope if I use the right people. So for the sake of my papal crown, I'll leave this to you."

"what?"

You manage a temple like this, and you still want to be the Pope?
Saya could never have imagined that this bitch would one day be associated with the word Pope, and why could Maria's affairs allow her to become Pope? Was she dreaming?
"A reminder in advance," Nicole's expression became serious again, "During the investigation thirty years ago, the Mist Temple lost two Ten Mist Officials, and the 'Son of Blue Gold' was not replaced until more than ten years later."

"What did you say?"

"Well, that's it," Nicole said lightly, "About twelve years after this incident, a continental war of gods broke out. I don't think it's a coincidence. The so-called unmentioned mastermind behind the scenes, including what you are facing now and in the future, is probably already deeply rooted in 'our world' in a place that no one knows about."

Nicole closed her eyes. As the head of the temple, she shouldn't have talked about these things. But to say that she had no grudges about that matter was just deceiving herself.

"you……"

"Okay, nothing more to do," Nicole said perfunctorily, "The life story of the ancient angel is very difficult to find out. Don't let my efforts to become the Pope go to waste."

Watching Saya step forward and take the document away, Nicole seemed to feel relieved.

During the year she was away, the changes in her chief combat officer had exceeded her understanding. Compared to her current affiliation, she was afraid that she would never find the truth if she stayed in the temple.

"So, you didn't tell me before because you were afraid that I would follow in Maria's footsteps?" Saya turned around and stopped there and asked.

"Don't joke about that," Nicole said, feeling amused. "The duty of the temple leader is naturally not to allow unqualified people to challenge impossible tasks."

"I think so too."

Seeing Saya turn around again and was about to leave, Nicole narrowed her eyes and called her again.

"and many more--"

Saya stopped there and didn't look back.

Nicole looked aside, as if she was trying to sort out her words, and said casually, "If one day you have no place to stay outside, coming back here would be a good choice. I wouldn't mind laughing at you in person."

"If you say that, I will return it to you intact when you are no longer on the Pope's list."

Shaye walked out of the room without looking back. Looking at the direction she left, Nicole sat there and shook her head. She actually felt like she couldn't argue with her anymore.

"Should I just say I can't accept my old age?" she said self-deprecatingly.

Coming out of the temple, Saya held the documents in her hand, looked up at the night sky, and her eyes gradually became calm.

She will use this power to deal with those bastards.

……

In the quiet room, faint sounds gradually emerged.

Ai Ning closed her eyes and frowned slightly. She couldn't imagine what happened to Vimir, and the tension in her heart grew tighter and tighter.

He is still...

She even had the hope that Vimir could hold on.

Vermeer: ​​"..."

The girl had been considering whether to use the method Irus taught her here, but before she could use it, she had already...

Smelling the elegant fragrance of Ayining's black hair, she even had the urge to ask for help.

Ayi Ning: "..."

To some extent, she knew something about Vimir's physical condition, and in order to prevent her from fainting, he should not be too blatant.

Just as she was thinking this.

Varied……

As Vimir couldn't save himself and held on to her tightly, Ayining's face suddenly turned red and she clenched her teeth in embarrassment.

and many more.

You came from her side to my side...?
In the silent night, they fully demonstrated to Luo Wei what it meant to be grasshoppers on the same rope.

"..."

"..."

……

The next day, in the stone corridor of the column ceremony of the Mist Temple.

Saya stood on the top of the stone platform, having already packed her luggage. She gazed at the sunrise that dyed the end of the sky, and her mood gradually calmed down.

If nothing unexpected happens, they should already be waiting at Atetana's place.

Looking down at the open space below the platform, there were many temple warriors and lower-level angels who came to see them off, including the elderly angel who distributed supplies.

But Temple Head Nicole didn't come.

Saya didn't care about these. In her opinion, the angels were just following the temple etiquette.

Because she didn't say much, she looked up at the gate to heaven that had already formed, spread her white wings and jumped up. Like every time she went to battle in the past, she passed through the door in silence and disappeared from everyone's sight.

But this time, there were no other angels following her.

Old angel: "..."

Looking at that dazzling figure, the old angel's expression was somewhat nostalgic.

Have no hesitation about the path you want to take.

Perhaps only independent and powerful angels like their Chief War Officer are qualified to pursue love with humans.

three days later.

After arriving in the Lion Garden, Saya headed south, flying among the clouds at a speed that was difficult to capture with the naked eye, and gradually recognized the familiar terrain.

South of Lion Garden, Manse Plain.

Going forward along the Rift Mountains in the distance, she saw a huge active volcano rising in the deepest part. She still remembered the battle with the high priest of the Yin God Sect there. But for some reason, when she thought of these things, especially after recalling the past scenes and the upcoming reunion, the corners of her mouth curled up uncontrollably.

what……

There's no need for me to look forward to such a thing!
As the black valley appeared at the end of her vision, Saya quickly restrained her expression. She paused in the clouds for a moment, suppressed and sorted out her mood, looked down, and began to flap her wings slowly descending from the sky.

During this process, she did not conceal her divine power.

As if she had noticed this, Attana came out of the tent wearing a thin bluish-white cloak. She immediately saw the angel that was so conspicuous in the sky. After being slightly surprised, she tied up her cloak and immediately walked towards her quickly.

The two met in the open space in front of the Valley Terrace.

"Saya..." Seeing the other party's energetic appearance, Atetana felt a sense of nostalgia and was very pleased. "It's been more than a month since we last met, right?"

"Yeah, I've been on the road these past few days, and I'm worried that I won't be able to catch up," Shaye nodded and looked around, "Where are the others?"

Hearing her say this, the Mother Goddess was almost stunned for a moment, and looked behind her with a little hesitation.

"This..." Atetana looked embarrassed, "They are not in the valley now."

"Really?" Saya seemed to have not thought of any other possibilities and said, "Is there something wrong nearby? Tell me the location and I will go to support you right away."

It's a good opportunity for them to see the changes in her during this period of time, and it will ensure that those self-righteous guys will be speechless.

"This one……"

Atitana already knew what was going on, and after thinking about it, she decided to tell her the truth.

"Shaye..." She looked at him as gently as possible, "If my guess is correct, they should still be in Lierman at this moment..."

"..."

Unconsciously taking a step back, the smile on Saya's face gradually froze.
