Chapter 11 (2/2)
“When faced with two equally difficult choices, I believe it is best that you choose the one you think is correct” Isabella hugged her husband’s head and gently consoled him: “I will support you”
“As for that Negary you spoke about, I think it’s possible that it isn’t actually a God” Isabella smiled.
“Isabella, do you know something?” Jacob looked up at his wife. He knew that his wife wasn’t a person of the Cauchy tribe, her background wasn’t simple either, so it made sense that she knew a few secrets.
“The one calling itself Negary is possibly an Evil Spirit” Isabella recalled as she explained: “Evil Spirits are entities with strange and powerful mystical abilities, but they are also under heavy restrictions so they do not easily appear. But as far as I know, Evil Spirits have no sense of reason, it’s very different from what you said”
“Evil Spirits, huh?” Jacob nodded.
“In my hometown, an Evil Spirit calamity once occurred that caused many people to lose their lives. That Evil Spirit had the ability to control fog, called the Devil in the Fog. Many people were lost and killed within that fog. The archbishop of the church of Divine Grace had to purify the Evil Spirit and blessed the world with the brilliance of the Lord”
His wife was a devout believer in the faith of Divine Grace, but that didn’t affect their relationship, as Jacob respected his wife’s beliefs.
“Isabella, you mean to say that the church of Divine Grace has a way to eliminate the Evil Spirits?” Jacob caught the important info in his wife’s words. He originally didn’t believe the Cauchy tribe’s traditional faith of Gods in all things, so Jacob didn’t really reject the idea of borrowing the power of the Divine Grace church to get rid of Negary.
“The Lord is omnipotent” Isabella smiled: “Even if Negary isn’t an Evil Spirit, it should be something similar, and the church of Divine Grace has a way to deal with it”
Wang Yuan was standing nearby, eavesdropping on their conversation and analyzing the information he obtained from it: “Church of Divine Grace? This world’s supernatural power?”
This is a low-magic world, ‘low-magic’ isn’t the same as ‘no magic’, and from the confident tone of that Isabella woman’s words, even if there were exaggerations in her words, it shouldn’t be completely false. Which means this ‘church of Divine Grace’ does indeed hold a type of supernatural power in their hands.
“She said it was called a Devil in the Fog. Perhaps it was the same as me, a remnant soul that had the ability to control the fog and mist?” Wang Yuan continued to analyze the details of their conversation and assessed his situation.
“Regardless of other things, for now, I’ve determined that Jacob cannot be left alive” Wang Yuan decided to first deal with Jacob and slowly hovered away. The church of Divine Grace had already formed a religion, so they must be quite a bit more powerful than Wang Yuan currently was, it was best that he didn’t mess with them right now.
On the other side, where Comoros was still conveying the will of Negary to the villagers, he suddenly felt an itch, then saw the two crows flew up and landed nearby, signalling for Comoros to follow them.
Comoros didn’t dare to make them wait and hurriedly follow the crows, arriving in front of a certain building that was currently holding the village chief’s granddaughter. Since she was bitten by the plagued Nael beasts, Comoros had her locked up here with the excuse of not letting the plague spread.
Wang Yuan was also hovering near the girl. She was holding the wound on her hand tightly with a pale expression on her face, weakly collapsed on the ground. She had the charms of a sickly beauty, but this wasn’t useful for anything, so as Wang Yuan’s interference force acted on her, the girl scowled, hugged her head with a pained expression, then dropped dead without a sound
