Inside the city lord's mansion in the border city, a man with short, light-gold hair sat in the main seat. His features were three-dimensional and angular, yet he possessed an androgynous beauty.
His eyes, with their heterochromatic gold and silver hues, possessed an otherworldly quality, and upon closer inspection, they seemed to hold the sun and moon, captivating the soul.
"Lord of the City, the guild leader of the Silver Wheel has arrived."
The guard stepped forward respectfully and spoke to the man.
"Let him in."
The man didn't even look up; he simply gave the order.
Before long, footsteps echoed in the main hall of the city lord's mansion. Finally, the man looked up towards the door. A man in black cloak stood there quietly, completely covered up, and only his male form could be vaguely discerned.
"Without revealing their true colors, cooperation is out of the question."
The current lord of the border city spoke.
"No, you'll definitely be interested in my news."
The leader of the Silver Wheel had a very strange voice, lacking the intonation and rhythm of a normal human being, like a cold machine.
"for example?"
"That's what the city lord said."
"Saint Maggie".
As soon as he finished speaking, the president raised his head, finally revealing his eyes hidden beneath the black cloak.
Instantly, the man's heterochromatic eyes narrowed.
Although he didn't remember what that person looked like, when he left the temple, those familiar, seven-colored, glass-like eyes were already deeply etched in his mind.
He had appeared in Santa Fe on the rainy night that Maggie's funeral ended.
At the time, he thought it was just a coincidence; he had never cared about strangers anyway, but now it seems...
His appearance at that time was probably related to Maggie.
That's right, Rabai, who once appeared as a woman, has now become a man and the lord of the border city.
He returned to the place where he first met Maggie, for a simple reason.
The reason he left was because of Maggie. He couldn't explain his feelings for Maggie, only that he was sad for a long time after she left.
Even now, it feels like there's a huge stone weighing on my chest and heart.
But he was clearly never this sad when his adoptive parents passed away before.
He returned here hoping to find that feeling of indifference he once had towards everything, to start his life anew. He even changed his body to that of a man, hoping to say goodbye to the past.
For some reason, even though he only spent a short time with Maggie, those memories could not be erased and lingered in his mind.
In the past six months, as his strength has grown rapidly, this situation has become increasingly serious, and she has even appeared in his dreams.
The dream was so vivid, as if I had experienced it before.
In his dream, he and Maggie spent a long journey together, keeping each other company for a very long time.
Until we parted.
The same sadness and sorrow, when he woke up from the dream, filled his body again and lingered.
"Can."
Labai's chest heaved as he collected his chaotic thoughts and agreed to the Silver Wheel Guild Master's request.
He needs to see her.
She wanted to verify some things, such as the fact that she once said he was the god of the earth.
For example, are those dreams real? Did they actually happen?
Everything about it concerned him greatly.
"It's a pleasure to work with you."
The president, who was also the archangel, nodded slightly, as if he had already anticipated that Rabai would agree to his request.
He came this time, still for the scales.
The recent turmoil in the balance indicates that something big is about to happen.
The scales point to the betrayal and his promise, to the spirit that is already dead.
That is, Maggie.
As an archangel, it was inconvenient for him to travel to the western continent.
Therefore, choosing a suitable candidate is very important.
Therefore, Rabai, who could communicate with the power of the land, became the best candidate.
Previously, Rabai's power was not fully awakened, so he could only rely on plants. But now, if he wants to find Maggie, it will be relatively simple, much simpler than searching aimlessly.
That's right. Although El didn't know who the reincarnations of the gods were, he did know that the gods entered the cycle of reincarnation.
In addition, Rabai's features were so distinctive that El was able to identify him almost instantly upon meeting him—that he was the human form of the Earth God.
At the time, Rabai was not important to him because he did not play a role in the angels' actions, so El ignored him.
Now that he needed it, he naturally came knocking on his door.
After all, that's what angels are—anyone with value will be taken advantage of.
El knew that Maggie had become an undead, but that was all he knew; he couldn't pinpoint her exact location.
Rabai became very useful.
As for what kind of feelings Rabaii had for Maggie, El didn't care.
As long as it can be used, that's fine.
"She did not disappear completely, but became an undead, and is now on the Western Continent."
El didn't mince words and simply stated his information.
He was using Rabai to find someone, but Rabai also wanted to find Maggie. Since they had a common goal, there was no need to hide it, and it would only complicate things.
"You're not kidding?"
Rabai frowned; clearly, he had never considered this before.
Although Maggie used a forbidden spell to become an undead, and there was a possibility that she would become an undead, her body was so shattered that there was no trace of her soul remaining, in addition to the demon's powerful strength.
No matter how you look at it, no one would think Maggie could successfully escape.
Even the dead couldn't do that.
"Her ghost escaped successfully."
As El spoke, his lips, hidden beneath his mask, pursed almost imperceptibly.
He sensed that immense, undead power; a forbidden spell alone could not possibly exude that level of deathly aura and despair.
So when that force teleported Maggie away, even he didn't catch it.
All that is known is that the source of that power comes from the undead, and Maggie is most likely in the Western Continent.
"I see."
Rabai stopped frowning and responded calmly, then fell into a state of thought.
He wondered if Maggie's personality would change if she became an undead.
The undead's thirst for life is enough to make them indiscriminately kill living beings. Even if he finds that person, will she... still be the same person she was before?
And the president of the Silver Wheel, it seems his purpose is also to find Maggie.
So what was his purpose?
What Rabai didn't realize was that he had initially been wondering if Maggie's personality would change drastically after finding her, and she would no longer be herself. Later, he had already accepted that he would go to find her, and instead became worried about the Silver Wheel's guild leader's ulterior motives.
