719 Blessing (1/2)
”I can't believe we actually made it back alive…”
Clegg and Michael mutually supported each other and emotionally entered the entrance of the camp.
”We have Mister Luhn to thank for everything…”
Clegg gratefully looked toward Fang Yuan beside him.
The annihilation of the Sun God Nation had abruptly arrived, catching everyone off guard.
During this critical moment, Luhn had appeared and saved them.
After that, with the Evil Demons rampaging about the Demon Territory, the three of them supported one another and, with some miraculous luck, managed to survive until now.
Based on this, even though they had previously doubted Fang Yuan, they did not even want to mention it now.
”Too bad… Amanda…” Michael mumbled, his voice carrying a tinge of sadness.
To his knowledge, Amanda had fallen into a trap of the Sun God pyramid. Perhaps, she had already perished without leaving a trace of her skeleton behind.
Even though it was still possible for her to miraculously survive, with the later annihilation of the God Nation and the catastrophe of the rampaging Evil Demons, the hope was very slim.
”I don't believe it!” Clegg was resolute, his face determined. ”Unless I personally see Amanda's corpse, I definitely won't believe that she's dead…”
Fang Yuan glanced at the surroundings and bade goodbye, ”Alright… You two, this is where we'll part!”
”This… No matter what happens, let us entertain you once. This is a slight repayment for your kindness!”
Clegg touched his nose. ”Mister Luhn, you must also be very confused with such a huge incident occurring. Why not go together with us? It'll at least make inquiring information slightly more convenient, and among the adventurers here, we have a few connections…”
”No need!” Fang Yuan pointed in front. ”The people fetching me have already arrived!”
”Hmm?”
Clegg and Michael were instantly stunned upon seeing a group of Harvest pastors approaching.
”One, two, three, four… For the Harvest Lady's pastors, we can use the golden wheat ear lines on their clothes to identify them. The more lines there are, the higher the rank… This lady actually has five bars. Could she be the Pope of Harvest?”
Michael released an astonished gasp, hurriedly tugging at Clegg and Fang Yuan. ”Quickly avoid them, or it'd be a sign of disrespect towards the Gods! This is a huge sin in any country!”
He quickly retreated to the side and let them cross, his face carrying some doubts. ”Seeing their demeanor, it seems that they're here to welcome some big shot. What kind of person would cause a Pope to act like this? Could it be some Legend that has been prominent for some time?”
”Michael!” At this moment, Clegg thought of something and tugged at Michael's arms with a shocked face. ”Look!”
As they looked on with widened eyes, the tall and slim female Pope arrived in front of Fang Yuan and slightly bowed. ”We welcome your arrival, Your Majesty!”
”Ah, seems that after receiving my information, you instantly rushed over…” Fang Yuan glanced around. ”Are there many Legends here?”
”There are a total of thirty-six Legends and ten secular kings and princes, the highest-ranking among them is Crown Prince William. Of course, if he knew that you were here, he'd definitely come personally to welcome you. After all, you are not only a Legend, but the founder of the Orchid Dynasty!”
This Pope of Harvest was named Miranda. Fang Yuan had previously seen her once, and she had left behind a lasting impression on him with her tall and slim figure and her manner of speech that resembled a breath of fresh air.
”Furthermore, within these people, there are also many special existences that came here following the Gods' will!” Miranda blinked. ”There's also the Son of Salvation, who had left the Orchid Kingdom—Heim!”
”Heim? I wouldn't mind meeting him…”
Fang Yuan laughed and let Miranda lead the way as they walked toward the bazaar.
The people on both sides respectfully gave way, glancing at them with various complex gazes.
In their positions, Clegg and Michael stood dazed like two statues.
After a long time, Michael opened his mouth wide and said in disbelief, ”I didn't mishear, right? The Pope called Luhn… Your Majesty?”
”Of course, you didn't mishear!” Clegg rolled his eyes. ”That female Pope even added more titles to Luhn. Legend! Orchid King! Although I'd already guessed that Luhn's origin wasn't simple, I still can't believe that his background is actually so impressive!”
…
Of course, Fang Yuan did not bother about what these two would do.
The reasons why he chose to conveniently save them were firstly because he was a little familiar with them and felt that they were not fated to die after meeting him, and secondly, it was a quest for destiny.
No matter whether it was successful or not, it was done with minimal effort and did not cost anything.
”Your Majesty, the Goddess is very interested in you!”
After entering a magnificent temporary tent, a subtle smile appeared on Miranda.
The Goddess had expressed a lot of interest in a mortal! In this world, this usually carried lustful implications and some indescribable temptations.
Furthermore, the true body of the Goddess could not descend into the mortal world. Thus, she often used incarnations, and even spiritual possessions.
Speaking of which, if it was a spiritual possession, Miranda was the best candidate!
However, Fang Yuan completely did not think of such flowery imagery. Instead, his face was serious. ”Because of my warning? The Sun has already landed in the hands of Purgatory!”
