Chapter 46: Registrar of Tierra (2/2)

Leah turned to Marni for confirmation, the latter nodding his head wordlessly.

After getting his consent, Leah started talking about how the God of Games had been revived and had started to bless His believers, as well as the fact that they were here at the refugee camp to recruit a certain number of believers.

The registrar listened to all of this in disbelief, but he didn’t rush to rebut her and instead closed his eyes, as if he was deep in thought.

However, the time that he took to think was so long that Marni got impatient, to the point where he thought the old man fell asleep or passed away.

As Marni was about to test if the old man was still breathing, a name in white font popped out from the old man’s head, meaning that his belief had surpassed that of a shallow believer and was now a true believer!

“This power… Incredible!” The old man opened his eyes with a complex expression, his tone full of amazement and regret. “If I hadn’t given up my belief in the God of Games, and had continued to believe in Him like Your Highness did, then even if I wouldn’t have been able to prevent the tragedy that befell our capital, I would still have been able to rescue more people…”

“Grandpa Registrar…” Leah stared in awe at the name floating above the old man’s head, not knowing how to react. It took her a lot of time and energy back when she tried to lead her guards to become believers, but the old man succeeded in a few minutes without needing any guidance. How could she not be surprised?

“I’ve only regained my past beliefs, Your Highness. I can’t even hold a candle to you, who discovered the revival of the God of Games, you are the most honorable, Your Highness!” The old man seemed to become even more reverent of Leah than before.

Marni glanced at the level displayed on the princess’ head, and grumbled inwardly. Had it not been due to the fact that he died a few times and lost some EXP, perhaps this princess wouldn’t even be at a higher level than he was…

He cleared his throat and turned the focus of the topic back. “We can debate on who is the most honorable later. About the plan to recruit some refugees as new believers, what ideas do you have sir?”

It was his quest after all, so he was the most concerned about it.

“If you asked someone else this question they might not have an answer, but you came to the right person.”

The registrar who had just gotten the blessings of the system seemed much more energetic and lively, completely different from how sickly he looked a few moments ago.

He said confidently, “At this point in our journey, we have already met with a lot of problems and difficulties on the road, and the best way to see a person’s true nature is true their reactions in the face of disaster. Those refugees that followed me for money have all shown their true colors, at the same time showing me the ones that could truly be trusted. I can pick a hundred people for you, and while I can’t promise that they are all the cream of the crop, but I am completely sure that none of them are selfish and greedy!”

“That’s wonderful!” Marni couldn’t help but smile in response to the old man’s statement.

Even though according to his plan, there wouldn’t be problems with there being sly and selfish ones as he was confident he could easily get rid of them. That being said, it would always feel terrible to have backstabbers so it was a great help that the registrar could help prevent this situation from happening.

This unexpected surprise let Marni feel like his time here was not wasted.

“Then we have no time to waste. Let’s get things done before we attract the attention of the city guards,” Marni said firmly.

Leah nodded in agreement, it evidently wasn’t the time to reminisce with the registrar. She was still being chased down by Rotten Bones, so the best course of action for now was to finish their business here and leave Wickidor.
