170 Church of Light. (2/2)

'But I also have this thing on my hand,' Ozul knew that the leader of the organization could only be a Rank-9 Mage. It was just as important to deal with him as well.

”Alright,” In the end, Ozul agreed since there was no hurry to meet with that person either.

Rufus was overjoyed. Even if he failed one of his tasks, the other one was easy and quite complicated at the same time. He just had to keep watch on Ozul until they arrived at the Church.

It was easy since he did not have to do anything. But it was complicated because it would be more accurate to say that he did not have any power to do anything. It all depended on Ozul's mood.

And he was delighted since they were almost there, and Ozul had agreed to follow as well.

And of course, Cyril and Mark behind Ozul had no problem with it either as they quietly followed behind the group.

Raven was curious about the two lean men following behind Ozul, but she chose to keep quiet about it for now. She had many questions, but they could wait for now since it was neither the time nor the place for it.

Their group was quite large, so a couple of gazes landed. However, these people were forced to avert their eyes when they felt the suffocating pressure from almost everyone in the group.

They passed by almost every type of property. There were restaurants, houses, hotels, and almost everything that one could ever think of in the entire continent.

Each property was owned by organizations renowned all over the Mainland. Raven and Blaze looked at everything with interest.

Half an hour passed before the group arrived in front of a spacious area.

In the back, they could see the massive white building. Tens of people were walking in and out from the entrance. The ones who were entering had crestfallen expressions, while those who came out mostly had slightly better conditions.

It was indeed the Church of Light that they had traveled for months to reach!

Before the Church, there was also a giant water fountain that caused a cheerful atmosphere. Ozul felt the weird waves of Mana in the atmosphere.

'Probably some formations set up by the people...' Ozul thought before the group stopped at a little distance from the fountain.

*Fuuu...*

A lot of people released a sigh of relief. These past months were nothing less than torture for them.

Just at this moment, a couple of middle-aged men with faces full of amiable smiles slowly walked out of the Church.

It was almost as if they were specifically waiting for their group as they approached them.

”Clara! Rufus! You guys finally arrived, haha,” the man in the middle laughed heartily.

Clara smiled beautifully as Venessa and Hanry bowed their heads behind her. Meanwhile, Rufus nodded his head as well.

”How was your journey?” the man ignored everyone else as he asked Clara.

”It was only so-so, Uncle Garth,” Clara only gave a short and polite answer.

”Hmm, We will discuss it later. Your father has been expecting you for a few days now. Go and inform him about your arrival,” the man named Garth said as Clara nodded and hurriedly walked away, followed by Venessa and Hanry.

After that, Garth looked at Rufus with a smile on his face. Rufus also smiled in return as he gave him a bear hug, ”It's been years, Rufus!”

”Well, yes. But I am here, aren't I?” Rufus laughed, dumbfounding his subordinates who had never seen this side of their leader before.

”That can be discussed later. Here, these are the mercenaries who expect their rewards,” Rufus said while pointing at the few remaining mercenaries in the group.

”Hmm? Only these pitiful numbers? Did something happen?” Garth asked. According to his guess, there should have been nearing hundreds of mercenaries, so it was a wonder why there were only these few.

”Cough, We will talk about it, but this is Ozul,” Rufus introduced Ozul as Garth's eyes had a hidden gleam.

”So, this is the young man, huh...” Garth said out aloud before making his way towards Ozul.

”Haha! You can call me Garth. I am one of the High Priests in the Church,” Garth introduced himself while extending his hand towards Ozul.
