The outskirts of Santa Fe should have been deserted, but a tall and slender figure appeared there. Only when the moonlight shone on her face could her features be clearly seen.
With his distinctive gold and silver heterochromatic eyes, Maggie would definitely recognize him if she were here; this is Rabai, who was chatting with her in the temple during the day.
But clearly, in Maggie's eyes, she was just a deaf-mute with extremely weak combat power, how could she possibly have the ability to leave the temple?
However, here, no one would question such an unreasonable issue.
Rabai stood calmly on the grass, the wind blowing through her clothes. Various thoughts from different lives gradually surfaced in her mind. This was her only and unique way of communicating with this continent.
She truly cannot hear or speak.
But she has had a very special ability since birth.
She can sense the feelings and thoughts of all plants; simply put, she can communicate with life on the land—a magical ability that even the fairies and elves, who are closest to nature, cannot achieve.
She wasn't even entirely sure about her own gender and race.
Logically speaking, she has lived in the border city since she had memories, and she also had human parents, but her various characteristics are incompatible with humans.
He possesses a level nine earth elemental magic talent and an abnormally high affinity for the earth element.
With her exceptional physical abilities, she could easily take on ten adult men by herself.
And most importantly, she can decide her own gender, whether she is a woman or a man, she can choose her own body.
She thought, "I doubt normal humans could do that."
Although she is deaf and blind, she is exceptionally sensitive to the emotions of other beings, accurately perceiving their kindness, malice, sympathy, lust, or other emotions towards her.
In reality, Rabai has never been an easy target.
She only pretended to be a normal human woman because of her human parents; she was ordinary, plain, and had no special characteristics.
Because she was deaf and mute, she seemed easier to bully than other human women.
The human parents who raised her were ordinary, unremarkable small merchants struggling in a border town. If it weren't for the later unexpected events, she thought she would have lived there forever without any changes.
Unfortunately...
They died.
When she returned home, she saw that scene: her human parents, who had been hacked to death, and the demons who had come to collect their debts.
The surrounding plants would convey messages to him, the general truth being that his father and mother had borrowed some money to improve their business, but unfortunately they were cheated, and the devil did not let them go either.
Rabai did not break down; he simply watched calmly as the debt collectors' ugly and evil faces appeared.
After seeing her face clearly, these people's expressions became even more lewd and repulsive.
She thought.
These demons may have been attracted by her face, or perhaps she was simply negligent.
Despite her best efforts to appear ordinary and meet her human parents' expectations, she still couldn't fully understand the human heart, at least not the evil side.
She didn't feel much sadness when her parents died.
At the time, I was just thinking very calmly.
Ah, as expected, it ended up like this.
Later, all the debt collectors died. She buried her human parents, and the debt collectors were buried not far away, to atone for their sins to her parents forever.
However, she still didn't understand her race or where she should go.
Labai continued to wander aimlessly in the border town every day, but she had gone from a deaf-mute woman protected by her parents to a single deaf-mute woman. Coupled with her extraordinary beauty, she became an easy target for bullying and easy prey.
Until that day, Maggie arrived in the border town.
That same day, Rabai was surrounded by a group of local gangsters who claimed to possess IOUs from her parents, right in a busy square.
She hadn't originally planned to kill someone in public; after all, it was the city, and killing someone would cause a lot of trouble.
Rabai usually chooses to avoid crowds and deal with these troublesome guys in secret. Maybe someone will notice, maybe no one will. She doesn't really care; she just doesn't want to cause trouble for herself.
However, in that situation, she ultimately couldn't control her murderous intent and was just about to make her move.
Maggie stopped them.
They stopped her.
She had forgotten why she wanted to go with Maggie back then, only remembering that although Maggie's expression was cold and vaguely showed her disgust for the trash, her whole demeanor was warm when she looked at her.
Warm, gentle, as if it were glowing.
Rabaiyi has been good at imitation since she was a child, and she knows clearly what kind of expectations people around her have for her.
She can easily project an image that others can't refuse, but she's too lazy to use such methods on a regular basis.
For no apparent reason, that day she chose the fastest and most convenient way to leave with Maggie.
She didn't want to stay in the border city any longer, and Maggie, as the Holy Maiden of Light, was one of the few opportunities she could seize, even though Maggie seemed to be very busy every day.
She was simply left in the legion of the border city and rarely appeared, so she didn't have many opportunities to get close to Maggie.
But opportunities can be created, not just waited for.
She made herself look pathetic and pitiful, which made people feel sorry for her.
Simply by sitting in her usual path, covered in bloodstains, Maggie stopped in her tracks.
As expected, the saintess with her warm-toned appearance chose to take her back to the temple.
During her time at the temple, she seemed to be living an ordinary life, but in reality, through the messages conveyed to her by the grass, flowers, and trees, she had a very high level of understanding of what Maggie had done.
As intelligence from different perspectives was pieced together, Maggie gradually became more complete and fully fleshed out in Rabai's eyes.
Maggie's originally frail appearance became clear and perfect.
In Labai's eyes, Maggie was no longer a stepping stone to leave the border city, but a very attractive saintess who made people want to get closer and take a closer look.
Kindness, gentleness, and holiness are only part of her.
Decisive and ruthless, and vengeful, are her true nature.
Labai was curious and eager to explore, so she chose to stay in the temple, waiting for another chance to get close to Maggie, and also using these plants to get more information about Maggie.
And today, after her chance encounter with Maggie.
That's how the opportunity to get closer to Maggie arose.
