As Hua Rong left, he looked back at the abandoned palace and smiled.
Is Zhou Yi really not some fool?
That's perfect. Rather than working with a complete idiot, having someone with a brain like this might save me a lot of trouble.
After Hua Rong left, she held a letter in her hand.
She went directly to George's palace and placed the letter under his pillow, leaving only a corner visible.
Given George's cautious nature, he would surely find the letter once he entered.
On the way back to the manor, Hua Rong was still subjected to Earl Baker's incessant, manic chanting.
However, she remained calm throughout, did not utter a word, and listened attentively to Earl Baker.
However, when Count Baker asks you if you are willing to apologize to the Pope, you choose to shake your head.
Earl Baker was so angry he almost vomited blood. The Countess tried to fan the flames, but was glared at by Earl Baker.
Now, the Earl's mansion will usher in its most glorious moment because of Hua Rong. Even if someone wants to criticize, only he can. What right do others have to criticize?
Hua Rong returned to her room in the Earl's mansion, finally finding some peace and quiet.
However, she did not rest in her room that night. Instead, she went out and came to the vicinity of the Flame Mercenary Group.
A short while later, Barber appeared at the same location.
This is a night pub, and it's currently bustling with activity.
Barber sat down opposite Hua Rong: "I thought you wouldn't be able to come today."
Barber looked at Hua Rong with a very complicated expression.
News travels fast in the palace; even in the middle of the night, those who need to know already know.
Everyone knows that the young lady from the Earl's mansion, who was brought back by Earl Baker to be groomed as his heir, was found to possess both spatial and light-attribute powers by the Pope's energy sphere.
This will be the hottest topic of discussion in the city tomorrow morning.
Of course, what is even more worthy of discussion is that this countess actually refused the Pope's invitation and refused to join the Temple of Light at this time.
Instead, he wanted to go to the Ancient Theological Seminary and enter the Temple of Light through his own efforts.
Most people will probably think the countess has gone mad.
It's easy to imagine that those words won't be very pleasant to hear.
Barber also thought Hua Rong was crazy. If it were him, he would definitely choose to follow the Pope to the Temple of Light to cultivate.
A mage with the Light identity holds a higher status than all other mages on the continent.
If he gets involved, he'll have the means to take revenge.
"Don't look at me like that. You know, too many people have looked at me like that tonight."
Barber said, "I'm sorry, I'm really surprised. You know, no one would make the same choice as you."
Hua Rong raised an eyebrow. "If you had seen the way that saintess looked at me back then, you would have made the same choice as me."
Barber was surprised: "The Saintess is hostile towards you?"
He found it unbelievable, since in everyone's eyes, the saintess was noble and the most faithful believer of the Goddess of Light.
But Barber quickly realized what was going on.
No human being is without ambition. How could those who are elevated to godhood be so pure?
Barber realized this and chuckled to himself, "I was too idealistic."
Hua Rong shrugged. "Many people are like you, so you don't need to feel inferior."
Barber: "..."
He is not self-conscious.
Hua Rong continued, "I came to see you today because I have a question for you. Do you know who Gene is?"
Barber's face turned grim. "You...which Gene are you talking about?"
“I’m talking about Gene Taylor!”
really.
Barber sighed, his face pale, and frowned but did not speak immediately.
Hua Rong didn't urge her; she wanted to know what this former Prince Saint Luo had done.
"This Gene is known as the Wish-Granter by the people of the continent, meaning that as long as you make a wish to him, no matter what it is, he can grant it. Of course, you have to pay the corresponding price. In fact, many people know his origin. He is the only survivor of the former royal family of Saint Loth. After the former royal family was overthrown, this prince disappeared. When he reappeared, he had already become a half-demon, and then he became famous as the Wish-Granter."
"The one who desires God?"
Hua Rong understood; that explained why George had approached him.
However, what is the principle behind this divine will?
He didn't believe in any wish-granting deity in the world who could grant other people's wishes.
Not necessarily.
After all, to mortals, gods are such beings.
So, could there be such a force behind Gene?
Is it God?
After Hua Rong and Barber parted ways, Hua Rong immediately followed in Gene's direction.
When she disappeared before, she made sure to remember the direction Gene was heading.
Now we can strike at the heart of the enemy's lair.
When she stood in front of what appeared to be an ordinary villa, she realized that Gene was inside.
Before she could even go inside, someone attacked her.
Hua Rong pulled the brim of her cloak down so that her face was not visible.
They passed right through the attacks and entered the villa unscathed.
"Who are you, young lady, and why have you visited so late at night?"
"I have heard that the God of Will resides here. I have some questions that I would like to ask the God of Will to answer."
Gene didn't appear, but his voice seemed to come from all directions, "Where's the reward?"
An ordinary person would certainly not be able to tell where Gene was, but Hua Rong seemed to understand, staring intently at a certain spot.
Hua Rong said calmly, "If the one who desires can answer my question, then whatever the one who desires wants, I can get it for you. If the one who desires cannot answer, then the one who desires owes me a condition."
Knowing that the other party had discovered him, Gene simply waved his hand to dispel the surrounding spatial laws.
He appeared before Hua Rong, standing in mid-air, the wind making his robes rustle and his purple hair flying in the wind.
“Miss, you’re really clever. That’s not how you do business. If everyone did it like you, I’d be at a huge disadvantage. You asked me questions, so I was supposed to be paid to answer them. But with you, I can’t answer and I’m even indebted to you.”
"Are you willing to take the gamble? If you can answer the question, I can get you anything you want in this world."
Gene fell silent, his gaze fixed on Hua Rong, as if trying to see through her.
"Okay, may I ask?"
"Do gods exist in this world? Do the gods of light, darkness, and others that people worship actually exist? If they do, where are they? And why are they unwilling to bestow blessings upon humankind? If they do not exist, then why do people believe in gods?"
Gene: "...Girl, you've gone too far. Count how many questions you have. With so many questions, I'm at a huge disadvantage!"
Hua Rong chuckled: "Alright, let's sum it up in one question: Where exactly are the gods in this world?"
