Chapter 42 A Corner of the Truth

Nora lowered her head silently.

It seems that the enemy is more difficult than she thought.

Nora clenched the flail in her hand. She originally thought that she would see a gathering of cultists and maybe one or two sea monsters that needed to be dealt with. Unexpectedly, the place was full of monsters.

Nora closed her eyes in despair. Could she really accomplish her original goal? Although she was the buryer and had all the equipment, there were such a large number of monsters and Zeus actually released them. This madman, didn't he know that these monsters were irrational?

What am I thinking about? The cultists are crazy. Nora gritted her teeth and tried to lean against the mountain wall. She felt that she understood what Zeus meant. The monster in front of her was just testing her. Only after defeating it would she be qualified to negotiate with him.

Damn the cult leader! Nora held up the tower shield and waited for a long time but there was no attack from the opposite side. She carefully moved the shield away and glanced at the direction of the opposite side.

She was wearing the thickest White Crow Heavy Armor, not to mention holding a shield that would only be used when charging into a formation. She was confident that she could take any attack head-on, even from that gigantic monster.

If there is only one, no problem, you will win.

Nora encouraged herself.

At this time, the voice of the six-armed monster came from above: "Hello, my name is Ash."

Is it talking?

This, how is this possible, is it still maintaining its sanity?

Impossible, it's a monster in the sea.

Nora held the shield tightly, but the imagined attack never came.

She hesitated for a long time, then moved the shield away a little.

When she moved the tower shield away, she saw Ash's confused face in front of her, and when she saw that Nora hadn't moved, Ash decided to bend down and talk to her.

Before she could say anything after opening her mouth, Ash looked at the smoke around her in surprise, she sniffed and took a big breath.

"It smells really nice, like coral reef weeds. Hmm, what do you need to know? About pollution? Or about the Abyss?"

Nora was stunned for a moment, then she realized that her incense burner was still burning.

She looked at the incense burner, then back at Ash.

"Not contaminated!?"

Ash gave her a strange look and nodded, "Yes, Monica is the only one among us who is contaminated."

She had been bending over and felt a little tired, so she stood up again. Her tall figure blocked the setting sun over the sea in the distance.

Nora looked up in a daze as Ash gradually stood up, and then... Crack! The back of the helmet hit the armor again.

Nora took off her helmet in annoyance. She looked at the tall Ash in front of her doubtfully. Reason told her that there would be nothing wrong with purifying the incense burner, and the other party didn't seem to have lost his mind, but she really couldn't understand it.

Biting her lower lip, Nora couldn't help but ask: "How do you stay uncontaminated?"

Ash looked at Nora in confusion, stepped aside, and pointed to Monica: "She's the only one contaminated. We're fine. She's the only one who needs your treatment."

Nora glanced at Ash, and could not see any madness or cruelty in her eyes, only confusion?

"That's impossible."

Nora took a deep breath of the purifying smoke from the incense burner. Mmm, the sweet smell of orange.

When I looked up again, everything in front of me was still the same.

Is this all true? This monster from the sea is not crazy? It's even friendly?

No, no, something must be wrong.

Nora suddenly felt a little panicked. She turned around carefully, looked at Ash with a vigilant look, and slowly retreated to the beach.

The flails swung and smoke spread. When it came into contact with the sea water, the smoke seeped down in drops like coffee powder in a cup.

The banshees looked at each other, and although they showed hesitation, they did not avoid it.

The smoke entered the sea and gradually spread, dispersing around the banshees.

"Well, it's a bit like sweet shrimp."

"No, only the pearls from giant clams have this taste!"

"This is clearly the smell of sunshine in the coral!"

The banshees debated quietly, and although their opinions varied, they all agreed that it was a very pleasant smell.

Hughes stood aside and watched with a strange expression.

It’s really strange, can I smell something in the sea? He thought randomly. Although Nora’s behavior was very strange, he did not stop her. He knew that this was Nora’s way of dealing with pollution.

When I met Nora for the first time, the information that Nora instilled into my mind using the incense burner contained similar explanations, etc. Could that be the incense burner used for missionary work?

Hughes looked at Nora's flail with a somewhat strange look.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Wielding a flail and hammering doctrine into your head, is this what you call preaching? Well, it does work, at least now Hughes knows a lot about the Silent Temple.

It would be nice if the process could be gentler. Looking at the banshees discussing in a low voice, Zeus' eyes suddenly lit up.

He noticed that the pollution on Monica's body was slowly stagnating.

The black substances that were originally wriggling like leeches gradually stopped moving as if they were put into ice water.

Monica also showed a somewhat painful expression on her face.

it works!

As expected of the Undertaker of the Silent Temple, he can really deal with pollution! "Look!"

"Monica, she seems to be better!"

"Look at the pollution on her!"

“Pollution, pollution is receding!”

"It actually works! The treatment methods on land are so unique!"

The banshees began to look at the flail and tower shield in Nora's hand with awe. Although they looked strange, they actually worked.

Nora blushed a little. She felt that her vigilance was a joke. She calmed down now. She looked up and down at Ash and the banshees in the sea. Her eyes paused on their scales and finally looked at Hughes: "They are from the sea? Have they been living in the sea?"

"Yes," Zeus replied. He also felt something was wrong. "There has been pollution in the sea recently, which will drive the creatures crazy, so I came..."

"You said there was pollution in the sea?"

"Yes, look at Monica, she has that..."

"I know." Nora interrupted Hughes again. The expression on her face was extremely complicated, as if she had seen something incredible.

She seemed to want to say something, but found it difficult to speak because it was too outrageous. Even Zeus and the banshees around her felt this subtle emotion.

"I know Monica was polluted, and I know there is pollution in the sea."

Hughes and Ash looked at each other, both confused, but Nora's next words made them freeze in their tracks.

"But this pollution has been going on for more than a thousand years."
