Chapter 289: The One I Look Up To (1/2)

Unlike the Illgner World where heavy rain, haze, and lightning are often present, the nights in Moldavia are quite warm and quiet The dry summer wind blew in the empty streets from across the wastelands of the Western Mountains Other than the pyroxene lahtest trace of light in the entire city

Besides one spot

The liege's residence

The lights in the liege's residence located in the center of the city reht On the third floor of the mansion, there was a peculiar room next to Joshua's study rooic circles Those were ic circles that were drawn and cast by the e Guild Some of them were even drawn personally by Nostraday was concentrated in the center of the rooic circles A violet crystalline runic core was placed in thewith a ure of a person was levitating right above the crystal

The Artificial Intelligence girl appeared as if she was slued her knees to her chest, the runes were circling her body, flashi+ng as if they were providing protection to her

With a silance, 03 does not see a closer look, one would be able to notice the delicate facial features of the lady were slightly livelier than before Her pale skin that see hair floated with theit look real Not to n seems complicated

In the past, anyone could tell that she was a projection just by glancing Now, the projection of the AI girl wasthat her projection was actually a real person She is beco humans ever since she set foot into this world Furthermore, her ence

However, she see a while ago started flashi+ng It began to operate 03 slowly opened her eyes, revealing her gleaht

”Intruder”

She spoke softly with a hint of helplessness in her tone ”Are those Goddaain? They really do knohen to pick a tiht”

After she finished her sentence, the projection of the girl vanished, leaving the violet runic crystal behind

In the meantime, in the distance, in the civilian area on the border of the city, sixinto the city as swiftly as they could move towards the inner city

Ever since their operation in the Imperial City was foiled by Joshua van Radcliffe, the church had shi+fted their main focus over to Moldavia as they suspected that the cultists would want to retaliate against the warrior for ruining their sacrificial ritual However, since that the territory in the north was too far away from the church, too few followers of the church were able to arrive at the territory Hence, the church could only put their ather their men in the city of Moldavia

However, as the six ets, they were planning their next ic energy, a sht on top of their heads without le sound Before the leader of the cultists ore a black robe could even lift his head up, a heavy restraining force was cast upon his body, bringing his whole body straight to the ground and trapping him It was a spell that restrained a person's y poured out, the other five men in black were all knocked out on the spot by an air hammer

The dress danced with the winds 03 yawned as she stretched her back a little just like a huroup of stupid weaklings What a bunch of insignificant pests… Can't believe that the words that Joshua usually said sound so useful at a moment like this These words are quite fun to speak”

She seeh 03 was laughing, her hands did not reirl, the six cultists were all cuffed with a layer of invisible shackles All six of them were pulled towards the church in the middle of the city by an invisible force or sohts that were on duty also received news about the appearance of the cultists So they swiftly went out of the church through the front door They were expecting to see six strange round in front of the church, and they did

”Our liege has left us a really powerful backup”

Having kicked the unconscious cultists for a bit with scorn on his faces, one of the holy knights could not help but sigh He felt a little excited ”Our liege just left the territory for a few days, and this is already the fifth time the cultists have attempted to break into the territory However, none of them succeed because they were spotted by the e left to keep an eye on the territory”

”That's right These Goddamn cultists would always pick the tied to get through all sorts of elite guards available in our city undetected all these while However, they have not been able to get through the eyes of thethe safety of our city”

Another holy knight voiced out to express his agreeht up a question they all needed to think about ”So, what do we do to these guys?”

”The usual Into the pit and wait for the interrogation by Master Artanis hi”

And so, the s handled before it could even reach the ears of the others in the city The lady with the wings no longer had the lided across the sky above Moldavia She was observing the city, looking at the people ere living in the city with her gentle gaze Her eyes see a trace of compassion and… adence after all That was already a fact a thousand years ago thecreated and e fortress It was an accident that she had a real soul No one expected that an Artificial Intelligence would possess a soul

Perhaps, as an Artificial Intelligence, she had many perks compared to the humans For instance, she would never feel tired or exhausted She had no need to worry about food and water All she needed to do in order to keep herself functioning was to charge herself with sufficientthat, she could forever stay awake and energetic Not toprocess ay beyond ordinary men She could even keep her attention on everyin the entire city at the saence was really tired of it—

She craved to beco that could touch, breathe, be touched, coround, and embrace other people

It was not a very ioal that she ht that flashed by in the ence She was just curious, so she wanted to beco the opportunity to live with the warrior in her own flesh and bones, an existence with true hu ere able to stand beside the warrior like two humans

That was not really a wild dreaht to the Artificial Intelligence

Descending into the liege's resident, the Artificial Intelligence strolled along the corridor of the one off to their own quarters to get some rest as it was already late Other than the footsteps of the patrolling guards ere on duty for the night, there was no other sound at all

From the third floor to the second floor, and from there, 03 walked all the way back to the main hall of the mansion on the first floor Then she suddenly stopped She noticed the decorative ar placed nicely at the side of the corridor The armor had stiff lines all over it The arirl had to lift her head up just to see the entire picture of the armor

That's so similar, it looked just like that time…
