Chapter 1961 - Muse Pelina (2/2)
Pelina was a Muse. No one knew which faction she was in, since she had not chosen a side during the election.
Pelina often went out to handle external affairs. She was not interested in the infighting in the Parthenon Temple. When Tata learned Pelina was going to the Scar of the Tianshan Mountain, she paid the Muse a visit and asked her to give Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan a lift when she realized Mo Fan was being forced to stay at the Parthenon Temple for a few more days because the flights to China were canceled.
Tata had agreed to make Kris the Attendant Mage of one of the Priests, just so Mo Fan would leave earlier. It was also a chance for Kris to atone for his mistakes.
Kris was very excited when he heard he had the chance to go on an adventure with Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan. Zhao Manyan had shared their exciting adventures when they were traveling around the world, including the encounters in the Amazon, the Sahara Desert, and at the Pyramids…

Every man had an adventurous spirit in their bones. Kris had always been obedient to his clan, and had never done anything that overstepped his bounds as he grew up. When he was expelled by the Hall of Knights, he actually felt somewhat relieved, since he could finally do something he wanted!
“Kris, did the people of your clan trouble you after what happened?” a Silver Moon Knight that was serving a Muse among the knights asked.
“Brother William, they just told me not to go back… so I decided to tag along,” Kris smiled.
“…” The Silver Moon Knight was left speechless. He let out a sigh and did not say anything.
“It’s fine, Kris, we all knew whose fault it was. You didn’t have a choice. If you do well in this mission, I can recommend you as a Probationary Priest. I remember you scored perfect grades in the courses for Priests. Why did you end up becoming a knight?” Priest Dowell had high hopes for Kris.
“Well… it was my stepmother’s suggestion. She believed being a knight was more fitting for our family’s situation,” Kris replied softly.
“Kris scored perfect grades in the courses for knights too,” William added.
“Impressive, muddlehead! I didn’t expect you to be so good at your studies. It’s fine; just hang around with us, I can guarantee that you’ll be able to make a name for yourself!” Zhao Manyan smiled confidently.
William glanced at Mo Fan disdainfully. “It’s already a relief if he doesn’t stir up more trouble!”
Muse Pelina glanced at them briefly too, as if she was sharing the same thought. She added since someone had mentioned it, “I’m only bringing you two along because I gave Tata my promise. I hope you two won’t bring me any trouble or interfere with my mission. I’m only going to bring you to the Scar of the Tianshan Mountain. Whatever happens after that is no longer my concern.”
Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan grinned after hearing Pelina’s proud and impatient words.
“She seems to be looking down on us,” Zhao Manyan whispered to Mo Fan.
“It’s pretty obvious. She doesn’t even want to lay her eyes on us when she’s talking to us. She’s looking into the sky instead,” Mo Fan said.
“Damn it, I can’t stand arrogant chicks like her. What a pity, Mu Bai has passed away at such a young age. Otherwise, I would definitely ask him to mix some drugs so I could bring her to the Heavens instead!” Zhao Manyan scoffed.
