"Waaah—"
At dawn, "Nuogao No. 11" sounded the horn for its return journey.
Everyone from the Temple of Saintess Polis stood outside to see them off, except for the Temple Master, Isabel.
Only after asking did I learn that Isabel had actually resigned from her position as temple master, leaving only an apology letter before leaving Mount Modan under the cover of night.
Valerie sighed with some regret aboard the spaceship.
"Princess Isabel isn't a bad person... she just had no choice..."
Anyone with eyes can see that Isabel's departure without saying goodbye is a good thing for both her and the Holy Temple.
After all, trust is like a mirror; a broken mirror is hard to mend.
Once cracks and knots formed in her heart, she was no longer the princess whom everyone trusted.
Wang Xuefeng knew this, which is why he didn't step in to stop her from leaving last night.
Xiao He didn't care whether she would turn to good or evil in the future, or become a person who was both righteous and evil.
As long as there is still a glimmer of light in her heart, she will not fall too far.
There were many group members standing on the deck, chatting in small groups.
They were originally looking at the scenery with their backs to the cabin, but now they all turned their backs to the scenery to look at Wang Xuefeng.
Since Xiao He joined his side, he has never worn a mask again, nor has he been secretive or sparing with his words.
He's happy to respond to anyone who strikes up a conversation with him, and often he does so with a smile.
This dramatic change quickly attracted the attention of the entire regiment.
Therefore, Xiao He, this "mysterious" girl, became the most talked-about person among them in private.
After leaving the Church of Saintess Polis, Valerie and Xiao He no longer wore nun's or maid's clothes, but simply wore ordinary summer dresses.
Valerie wore grass-green, and Xiao He wore sky blue with a touch of white. Both outfits were made for them by Sister Suna, carrying the meaning of blessing and farewell.
At this moment, Xiao He's face was completely clean, with no trace of scribbling or makeup.
Her natural, bare face, coupled with her smooth blonde hair, is simply a feast for the eyes.
The majority of the support troops were male. Because the commander was Lucadi, very few girls were willing to join his team.
Valerie had already found out before boarding the ship: Captain Lucadi's nickname was "God-given Bachelor".
Of course, many girls would bluntly call him a "straight man" or a "domestic abuser," etc.
As a result, Valerie developed a strong curiosity about this boy with a terrible reputation.
However, before she could even take any action, she turned around and found Lucadi himself walking up to her in front of everyone's eyes.
To be precise, he walked behind Wang Xuefeng and Xiao He.
The two, who were originally admiring the scenery, turned around at the same time.
This was considered Xiao He's formal meeting with Luca Di, and both of them politely bowed to each other.
"Hello, Xiao He."
"Hello, Commander Lucadi."
"Since your husband is in my group, don't worry about anything else, join my team too?" Lucadi's words were, as expected, completely straightforward.
"Okay." Xiao He's answer was even more direct.
"By the way, I heard you're a pastor?"
"Yes."
What level are you?
"Forbidden spell".
"Fantastic! I'll fire the priest in the guild as soon as I get back."
"?" A boy not far away stared wide-eyed, spreading his hands.
"No need. If there's no shortage of people, I can also take over the soldiers' positions."
Xiao He's expression didn't seem like she was joking, but Lucadi thought she was the first girl willing to tell him a joke, so he was very happy.
"Hahahaha! Wang Xuefeng, your wife has quite a sense of humor!"
"Uh... she's telling the truth, she's not lying."
"Hahahaha, you're quite cooperative with your wife, aren't you..." Lucadi laughed, hands on his hips.
Xiao He silently summoned the Lifeless Blade and swung a half-moon slash at a flying monster following the spaceship.
Lucadi's laughter stopped abruptly.
The monster's fallen corpse had not yet completely disappeared from everyone's sight, but at this moment, apart from the sound of the wind, there was no other sound on the deck.
Even the constant whispers have stopped.
"Oh, so you're a forbidden spell warrior!" Lucadi snapped out of his daze and said with an air of "I'm not ignorant."
“That’s right.” Xiao He calmly sheathed his sword as well.
"Alright then, we won't lay off the priests in the guild."
"..." The boy not far away rolled his eyes and shrugged.
Watching Lucadi leave, Valerie didn't dare to go after him to say hello, because she could sense that Lucadi was the kind of person who preferred to let strength speak for itself.
Just like the position of a pastor, if Xiao He were more capable, he could dismiss the original pastor team members without hesitation.
For example, his gaze, from the moment he arrived until he left, was either fixed on Wang Xuefeng or on Xiao He.
They didn't even glance at me!
“What a heartless man…” Valerie pulled down the corners of her mouth.
Amid the strange atmosphere around him, Xiao He could sense the various meanings in the gazes even without looking.
Having learned from her experience in the cloud, and in order to nip any potential problems in the bud, she decisively wrapped her arms around Wang Xuefeng's waist, rested her forehead against his chest, and closed her eyes as if in complete dependence.
Valerie, who was standing to the side, was stunned for a moment.
Wang Xuefeng didn't say anything, with one arm around her shoulder and the other hand still calmly on the trigger.
"Bang, bang..."
There aren't many monsters capable of chasing spaceships in the air; a few people can easily deal with them.
