Chapter 339: Chapter 321: Incarnation as Gear
“A big shot?”
Felix was initially stunned after hearing that, then nodded slightly, unabashedly revealing his excitement and agitation.
He was truly excited because getting close to a big shot of the Reforging Church undoubtedly presented him with a better chance to accomplish the great mission of the Lord of the Lost.
A few days later.
Under the introduction of Priest Gareth, Felix made contact with a big shot of the Reforging Church.
It was a pitch-black night without a star in sight when he, dressed in dark brown clothes, arrived at a newly opened tavern in Nasir City. Guided by Priest Gareth, he handed a letter to the grizzled bartender there.
The bartender was a cyclops. After taking the letter and looking at Felix, he bowed and said, “Master Felix of the Fischer family, may I ask who this letter is for?”
Felix glanced around at the disordered surroundings and shook his head, saying,
“It is for you, take a look.”
The old bartender nodded, calmly opened the letter, and then a peculiar smile appeared on his face.
“I see, please come in.”
Felix followed the bartender to the back of the tavern and from there into the tavern’s basement.
The basement was brightly lit, and someone was already sitting there. The moment he saw that person, a respectful glint appeared in the cyclops bartender’s sole eye.
She appeared to be a woman in her thirties, though her actual age was indeterminate. She looked suave and energetic, dressed in a bishop’s robe of red and black, her face quite delicate, yet her right eye was replaced by an alchemical prosthetic eye.
Sitting with her hands behind her back, she was quite tall, at over one meter seventy and even approaching one eighty, with slightly broad shoulders, giving off a very gallant appearance.
Felix was taken aback for a moment; it was indeed rare to see such a “dominating” woman on regular days.
The woman’s gaze and movements were akin to those of a seasoned general commanding troops, embodying a powerful charm usually associated with men, despite being a woman.
She slowly stood up and serenely extended her hand, saying, “Hello, Mr. Felix Fischer, I am Isabel.”
Felix, who had already gathered intelligence in advance, immediately recognized who she was—Isabel, the Reforging Bishop of Glenborough Province!
In the Cyart Kingdom, there were a total of three bishops from the Reforging Church, located in Glenborough Province, Ahornblatt Province, and Elphinia Province respectively.
Isabel was a very mysterious bishop, nicknamed the “One-Eyed,” having lost an eye fighting a giant dragon before reaching the low-level Monarch status and subsequently embedding a high-level alchemical prosthetic eye into her body.
“Hello, Bishop Isabel, I am Felix of the Fischer family. It is my honor to meet you!”
Felix was excited and agitated, and this was no act; only his excitement wasn’t as a disciple of the God of Reforging, meeting a bishop of the Reforging Church, but as an ‘undercover agent’ having reached out to a target high up in the hierarchy.
Isabel nodded and continued, “I heard you have quite a fondness for machinery, are you interested in worshipping the God of Reforging?”
He nodded lightly, pondered for a moment, and then said,
“Of course! In fact, from the moment I met Priest Gareth, I have been hoping to convert to the God of Reforging. Although the majority of my family are disciples of the Lord of Salvation, I always felt that only the God of Reforging represents the true essence of this world!”
Felix had easily captivated Priest Gareth at the beginning, hence he thought this speech would work well on the followers of the God of Reforging.
However, what happened next took Felix by surprise. The gallant Isabel, after hearing this, seemed very calm, showing no sign of excitement, and merely said indifferently,
“Is that so?”
“Do you truly believe that?”
“Yes.”
Unsure of her emotions, Felix didn’t dare to speak recklessly.
Isabel nodded and said, “Alright, Mr. Fischer, I can officiate the ceremony to welcome you into the Reforging Church, but I would like you to come with me to Glenborough Province.”
“What?”
The previously excited Felix was immediately stunned. Was she asking him to leave the East Coast for Glenborough Province?
