Chapter 147 Missionary Mission

Alicia had never thought that she would one day become a member of a missionary mission

After all, when the Church sent people on such a roup would always be formed from elite warriors ere also well versed in letters and military tactics, since they would represent the face of the Church the entire ti skills and her etiquette; it could even be said that she looked like… the whole year I’ and wavingwhen she has to go so of this, her whole body was covered in a feeling of unease

The Priestess Mira had said, that they had to go to the western border town of the Kingdo the case of the royal power housing and shi+elding some witches In addition to the Priestess who led the envoy, the group also consisted of ten Judges, one of the the defense of Hermes

But it seemed that even away fro his cold face, and just by standing beside him Alicia could feel how the temperature drastically fell

The Priestess instead was the coe of 40, and had a pair of wise and farseeing eyes Always telling and laughing about anecdotes of the Church, she clearly had a lot of experience, full of passion for others’ interest but never losing her elegant demeanor as she went Even in the presence of the Archbishop, her aura wouldn’t reduce More than once, Alicia had heard that she was the likeliest candidate to be the next bishop

And to the warrioress’ surprise, as a public official, Mira’s riding skills were not es For the past two days, she had spentthe the forests, cities, and towns, so that she could always keep the horses going at the same speed and try to reduce the physical exertion This technique was just like that of an experienced long-term rider

When they left the Herdo further south?”

“No, the distance between Border Town and where we are is too far, if we take the land route, my buttocks will start to blooly, “We will first go eastwards until we reach the Hidden Valley Town, there is a river which flows to Redwater City and fro Stronghold

“When was it that you first joined the Church?” Alecia asked curiously “Not only do you know all sorts of anecdotes about things that’ve happened in the Holy City, but you also know a lot about the world at large”

“I joined the Church, twelve years ago, when I was thirty,” Mira replied

“That’s quite late,” Alicia exclaimed, “as far as I know, the older one is, the more difficult it would become to co that it only took you ten years to be promoted from the rank of a believer to that of a Priestess”

“Yes, well,” Mira s aspects of the Church I ah, was originally the daughter of a h the four kingdooods Goods that are common at some places at other locations are rare and because of this worth much more

“For exaht it froion, we could buy them for a price of only twenty to thirty silver royals We put them into water tanks and transported thedom of Endless Winter If the transport was successful and the corals still had their natural color, and ithout any broken branches, we could sell theht, it’s obviously that they are the same item, so how can it be that there is such an enormous difference in their value?”

“Because… in soested

“At the beginning I thought the sa happened that changed my view One noble secretly harbored a witch as able to control the temperature, after some tests he finally came up with a way in which he could keep and raise the corals of the Seawind Region in the Kingdom of Eternal Winter He turned the base so, with this he could harvest the corals once a year His output was ten times more than what my father was able to transport and ere only able to reen corals on the market than before He not only sold them to the palace, but also to other powerful aristocratic families If the price was only decided by its rarity, the expensive price of green corals should go down

“But after two years, the palace refused to accept those low-priced green corals, saying that they were counterfeit goods Not only had reen corals, no he had even doubled it As for the noble with the witch, he beca and kidnapping of a witch he was burned at stake But I knew that the corals sold by him were no counterfeit products, there was no difference between them and my father’s product

“Thinking it’s because of the reason that the ite idea, but there are oods Furthermore, this was only one of the sireen corals as a syher When nificantly impact the provisions of the royal family Therefore at the day of execution, the Queen also celebrated Don’t you think that these goods are the same as us secular people?”

“Like… what?” Alicia couldn’t follow her thought process

“Just like the children of royalty and commoners,” Mira spoke without stop “When they are born, they all get a price attached to them, but this price doesn’t reflect our real value We are just like those green corals, yet soht for a low price, but at other places, the price becoh to even reach”
