Chapter 145: Starting with Registration (2/2)

As an adventurer, he had roughly reported the incident to the Guild, and the Guild had passed on the information to Vargenburg.

“If you register with the name Gula, it will cause a commotion, won’t it?”

“That… But it’s not like there is no one else named Gula.”

Loren didn’t think it was a rare name, but he couldn’t say that it was a common name either. He thought there would be no other way but for Gula to use a false name, but she immediately refused.

“Names are important. I am Gluttony exactly because I am Gula. If I use a false name, even just temporarily…”

“What will happen?”

If she lost her power as Gluttony because of it, then of course she shouldn’t use a false name. But this explanation wasn’t quite accurate, and Gula’s answer was not what Loren had expected.

“I won’t be able to control the power of Gluttony.”

“Let’s use your real name then… And pray that we won’t get caught.”

When Gula’s seal had just broken, she had fused with the chief of a fairy village. As a result, all creatures in the neighborhood had had their appetite increased abnormally, causing themselves to become ferocious. If such an incident happened in Kapha, what kind of turmoil could it cause? Not to mention, Loren wasn’t sure if it could even be resolved.

They just had to take the risk and let Gula register with her real name. And so, they should think about what to do if she was suspected to be an Evil God.

“Well, she won’t get caught if she only introduces her name.”

Lapis took a small sip from her glass and replied to Loren’s worry.

“The Adventurer Guild doesn’t have any magical instrument to reveal registrants’ identities. They’ll probably find it strange at most, and that I think we can handle.”

Lapis’ words were strangely credible, as she herself still hadn’t been caught yet.

Lapis appeared to be a priest and acted like an ordinary human, but she was actually a demon coming from a region surrounded by rocky mountains in the center of the continent. Her race was much more powerful than humans.

She had been half-expelled to the human world by her parents in order to gain life experiences. To hide her demonic heritage, both of her eyes had been gouged out and all four of her limbs had been cut off to suppress her power. Moreover, her dismembered body parts had been hidden throughout the human realm. She had had a rather sad upbringing.

Lapis had successfully retrieved both arms since she had started working with Loren, and now she was more powerful than when they had first met, with more demonic abilities. Even so, the Adventurer Guild still hadn’t suspected anything.

Loren himself was also sheltering the soul of a girl who had been made into the highest ranking undead, the King of Death, inside his own soul. This had happened during one of his earlier missions. Strictly speaking, he couldn’t be considered an ordinary human either. But the Guild also hadn’t seemed to notice anything.

Considering Lapis’ and his own case, Loren thought maybe they would also manage to make it work with Gula’s case somehow.

“Well, maybe you’re right. Ah, Gula, do something about your eyes.”

Her hair and skin were not that odd, but there was one thing about her that was greatly different from humans: her eyes.

It was the same for demons. Loren suspected that Evil Gods were actually from the demon race, but he couldn’t get an answer from Lapis, and hadn’t really talked to Gula about it.

“What do you mean by something?”

“I mean the color. Can you change the color of your eyes?”

“Loren, please look at Gula’s eyes carefully.”

Following Lapis’ words, Loren looked straight into Gula’s eyes.

Gula looked back at him blankly for a moment. But a short time later, she cupped her cheeks with her hands and wiggled her body.

“Woaa, now you’re staring at me like that.”

Loren wordlessly touched the greatsword on his back. Seeing his movement, Gula hurriedly leaned over the table, her expression turned serious.

“I was joking. Well, look at me.”

Taking his hand away from the sword’s handle, Loren looked into Gula’s eyes again.

What set Evil Gods and demons apart from humans were their purple irises. That eye color didn’t present in humans.

But Gula’s eyes didn’t have that shade of purple now; they were a shade of beautiful, clear red.

“The color of your eyes…”

“Remove a bit of the blue and they’ll become red.”

“We’re not talking about paints here…”

“Isn’t it all the same?”

Gula spoke about it so simply, but it was not that simple to change one’s eyes color. Loren wondered if it was one of the powers of Evil Gods.

He wouldn’t know no matter how hard he thought about it though, so for now, Loren decided to content himself with the relief that Gula wouldn’t be suspected because of her eyes.
