70 The Necromancer and the Priestess 4 (2/2)

Ah! Yin Mei realized that finding someone to inherit her position was also a potential option. But no such person with that ability existed at this time. From how long Celestina's predecessor had waited, it could be seen just how rare it was for a person to be born with a strong enough affinity to be able to act as the seal's mediator.

She sighed inwardly. It seemed that the first option was still the best. In addition, the mission wasn't actually to free Celestina from the seal, but rather to unseal the demon. She paused, thinking this was slightly odd considering that El's end goal should be the former. But the result was the same, so she didn't think too much into it.

The Bishop didn't stay much longer, bidding Yin Mei farewell as he took a portion of the guards with him as he left. After all, compared to Yin Mei, the Bishop was much busier and he handled most of the duties of governing the church.

On the other hand, Celestina had no such duties, so spent most of her time playing with small animals, reading, watching the scenery, or playing games with the priestesses.

In other words, Yin Mei had so much free time - she was way too bored. She practically had a headache from thinking so much these last few days, she honestly just wanted to go outside and explore the world. Such a fantasy like world with knights, dragons, and mages, yet she couldn't step a single foot outside of these godd*amn church walls!

This was so important that she needed to emphasize it and repeat it multiple times. At least several times a day she had to curse her fate to remain stuck inside this stupid church.

But, no matter.

Since she found it hard to think, she would continue experimenting with magic. El was not the only one who could experiment with magic - Yin Mei decided she would too and try to potentially find another method that could work. Although the magic books in the church's library were a little complicated, they weren't too bad. She was able to make great gains in this short amount of time, in part because magic bore some similarity to cultivation.

She was currently thinking of whether or not she could summon someone from another world. Yes, she wanted to turn this into an another world genre, because f*ck it, she could! When thinking of stories, she knew that this genre was very popular - people being summoned, reincarnating to, or just appearing in another world that was filled with fantasy and magic. They would be granted a variety of cheats, and in general be very OP. Bringing out this sort of protagonist to compete with the original protagonist, Yin Mei wondered if it was a good idea. And in some of the novels, these summoned kids weren't as easy to trick into doing what the summoner wanted. But, she resolved that it was worth a try... it wasn't just because she was feeling spiteful toward the ”good” guy knight in shining armor type protagonist.

But, she had already started testing out normal summoning. So far, she had been able to summon a light spirit - the little white bird familiar. Summoning was a researched subcategory of the light element system. In fact, all the elemental branches could summon spirits of their own element, but the those of the light element (and dark element) could specifically summon a variety of other things as well. The light element had a vast reach in the world of magic, along with dark magic. Because of this, aside from the extremely rare time and space element affinities, people with these affinities were extremely sought after and the two were considered one the strongest elements simply for how versatile they were.

The thing that concerned Yin Mei was that summoning a person from another world would require the help of a space affinity mage.

She did know of one space affinity mage in the plot line, so at least there was that. She was just a little concerned because of this person's identity.

In addition, she wondered if this weird round about way of doing things was really worth all this effort.

She didn't even know what benefit this summoning would have to herself, except for potentially inconveniencing the male lead and giving her another pawn to work with, or maybe another obstacle to deal with. Another pawn sounded good, but that was under the conditions that she could manipulate the person being summoned well - which she didn't have all the confidence in the world to do.

She wondered if she could specifically choose who she would want to summon, like they sometimes did in the novels. But, she had long discovered that things never went as well in real life as they did in the stories (which should be obvious).

But, this matter should be saved until she made contact with the space affinity mage.

She sighed. She really didn't want to get in touch with a troublemaker like him, but she guessed that there was no choice. Aside from the matter of summoning someone from another world, that person would also be very useful later on. After all, he was one of the male lead's allies in the original plot line that had aided him in defeating the great demon.

And to top it off, he was the second male lead! He was both Kai's ally and love rival.

She let out yet another sigh. One male lead was already such a troublesome existence, but to add a second male lead into the mix... she really wasn't sure how this would end up.
