Chapter 160 Invitation
The fact that I could understand Nilgara finally came to light.
This guy has come ashore.
We can't be asked to come ashore either, like me and Veraer's ability to transform into human form. One day, his fish tail turned into human legs in public. Because he was soaking naked in the holy pool, he was fished out by Remonsis with an angry face amid the screams of the believers and carried to me.
"He was bathing naked in the holy pool. How shameful!"
I rubbed my temples painfully while looking at the descriptions of Nilgara and Lemonthis, who were wrapped in red cloaks.
"This person is so fierce."
"Sir, I have no water to work with!"
"Wow, I want to go back to the pool."
"It's so uncomfortable even with this cloth wrapped around me—"
"I'm going to take it off!"
"Shut up and don't take it off."
I finally couldn't help but talk back.
Then the whole room fell silent.
I was silent too.
Why couldn't I help it?
What about the calm me?
"Sir...Sir, you can hear me!"
"Really? "
"Didn't you hear me calling you before?"
"Sir, my name is Nilgara~"
"Sir, do you like my tail?"
"Oh... I don't have a tail now. Wait for me to change it for you!"
I:……
Seeing that he was about to pull off the red cloak, I stopped him urgently to prevent me from seeing something eye-catching.
"Don't turn into a fish on the ground."
"If you don't obey, I'll send you back!"
I shouted.
No, Nilgara obviously looks older than me, so why do I feel like I'm taking care of a child???
"Either learn how to be a human being, or turn back into a fish and stay quietly in the pond."
I looked at him.
"Sawyers didn't just send you here to be a fish, did he?"
I looked at him with a stern face.
How should I put it? You can’t be too gentle with children—otherwise, they will definitely become naughty!
I have extensive experience in parenting.
Maybe I can become a parenting blogger after I retire.
Which of my brothers and sisters was not raised by me since childhood? What kind of children have I not seen?
"Yes... yes, Lord Sawyers, let me help you."
I scared him and he began to speak his very unstandard human language haltingly.
Once again, I realized that Sawyers was a genius. He didn't have such a hard time learning to speak human language when he was a child.
"How can you help me?"
Nilgala sat up from the ground wrapped in a red cloak.
"I can read minds."
"But I cannot see the hearts of you, Holy Son, and Lord Sawyers."
I:?
Wait a moment……?
Oh, I have Occlumency.
"What is the person next to you thinking about?"
I switched the language.
Next to Niagara stood Raymond Siesta. To be honest, I had been curious about what he was thinking about all day for a long time.
"... Ugh, he's thinking about how to throw me out."
"I'm still thinking about praying today to the token left by...Virar-sama."
"Lord Villar? Is that the name of God?"
"I've been thinking... you're looking more and more like a Saint."
"He has so many things on his mind!"
Is this a bit too much information?
And when did you become a follower of Villar???
When did it become so thoroughly polluted?!
Don’t try something new behind my back!
But... this does prove that Nilgara can read minds.
After all, he definitely didn't know the name Villar. The number of people in the entire Divine Court who knew Villar's name could be counted on one hand.
So Sawyers sent him over.
As expected, he had realized Yomel's abilities at the time.
It seems like it was specially given to me.
I looked at Nilgara, who was still mumbling on the ground, and suddenly I felt that I liked him a little better. He was just a chatterbox, right? There was always someone who could teach him better.
I thought of Lemonthes.
"I'll leave him to you to teach."
"He understands you, and the Inquisition might need him."
Lemonsis looked at me in confusion.
"He can tell if a person is lying."
I didn't directly say that he has the ability to read minds, as this ability can easily make people wary, but if it was just a lie detector test, it would be much simpler.
Remonsis looked at the mermaid on the ground with some surprise.
"Yes, I will teach him well."
"From now on, you are not allowed to tell anyone that you can read minds, understand?"
I looked towards Nilgara.
He nodded somewhat bewilderedly.
Then I watched as Lemonsis pulled him up and took him out.
The room felt quiet again—I hope Lemonzes will tolerate him once he learns to talk.
…
Three months later, Raymondsis came to me to complain.
Faster than I thought.
The Niagara was very useful, but it was too noisy—too noisy to be tolerated.
"My lord, he is like an indefatigable mosquito."
"Are all mermaids so talkative?"
There are many aquatic monsters in this era, but what humans can see are very limited, let alone mermaids.
I:……
But my species now can also be considered a mermaid.
"Of course not, he is a special case."
I quickly denied it. "It's just that he doesn't know much about this world yet, so I'm leaving him to you to teach. Sir Lemonsis, I'm sure you have no problem with that, right?"
My expression was very sincere, and he had a dark face and wanted to reject me.
But I held back.
"Yes, I will teach him well."
His voice was a little heavy.
[…To be honest, it’s really rare to see him like this.]
Are you back?
I thought you didn't plan to stay in the Holy City for long.
[Then you are too lonely. The system can't talk to you. Who else can talk to you besides me? ]
I:……
I'm not doing that badly.
I can still talk to Lemonthis.
[…Lemonsis.]
[To be honest, he's been looking at me strangely lately.]
[Is he interested in me?]
I:……
That’s not the case.
But I think you may not want to know the specific reason.
【What? 】
Then Villar appeared in front of me.
He is now wearing the uniform of the Inquisition and the black ribbon on his eyes. He does not hold any position in the Divine Court and few people know his name, but they all know that he is someone close to me.
Known as the "shadow" of the Divine Court.
"So… what do you know?"
He moved a chair and sat opposite me.
I looked at him and continued talking in my head.
Nilgara, can read minds.
I had him read a little bit of Lemonthes three months ago.
【……】
[And then? You're not really secretly in love with me, are you?]
No, no, no, you still remember that he looked into your eyes, right?
[…I remember that I couldn’t eradicate that pollution.]
Come on, think big.
[Will he not be corrupted by the pollution?]
Almost, keep thinking.
[There's more... Wait, is he starting to believe in me?!]
[I was wondering why I keep hearing some strange noises lately.]
It’s a prayer!!!
I looked at Villar's gradually falling face and clapped happily to show that he was right.
That's great, I can't be the only one to fall apart.
It would be pitiful if even God didn't know there was a believer around him.
【——Who is the one who is pitiful?】
He is pitiful.
I smiled at Villar.
"He is your only believer now. Don't you plan to give him some kind of divine blessing?"
I looked at him with a smile.
Villar: ...
"You're just bored staying here, right?!"
I don't speak.
"Tell me how I can face him calmly in the future?"
"It's like your good brother suddenly becomes your believer."
I thought about it, "It's better than your good brother wanting to sleep with you, right?"
He was strangely silent.
"I decided to go out and calm down for a few months."
I pulled a document from the table.
"Take this to Sawyers for me."
The document sealed in brown paper was wrapped with a piece of cloth. To be honest, if Villar hadn't been there, I really didn't know who could have given this document to Sawyers.
——It was a detailed document and map.
The Divine Court discovered traces of Ansar and Asu Yue in the north - they were together and were contacting people from the royal family.
I think Sawyers should be more interested than I am.
Villar shrugged and left with the documents.
I looked out the window again. The sunshine in the holy city was always bright, and believers were coming and going. It seemed like we hadn't had such peaceful days for a long time.
After all, if Sawyers could live until five thousand years later, then I wouldn't die too early.
...No, we can’t set such a flag.
It’s decided. I’ll sneak back to play with Sawyers in a few days.
The system really doesn't talk to me anymore. It has only issued me a few tasks during this period, and I don't even know how my main storyline is progressing.
Does such a world really need me to save it?
What exactly is the trigger for the destruction of the world?
——This mission was released very strangely from the beginning.
This world is strange, and there are also those eyes that appeared before Ansar disappeared.
All these years have passed, and I still remember what he said.
That's when the system started to behave strangely.
I became weird too.
So over the years, the Divine Court has been looking for traces of Ansar and Asu Yue.
Under the divine court that I control, I am absolute.
——Although it won’t be completely under Sawyers’ control like the Monster Alliance, at least, with my “Eye of Truth” and Yomel’s mind reading, there will be no betrayal.
But the person I trust most will always be Villar.
But is the reappearance of Ansar a good thing or a bad thing?
…
Then I received the invitation three days later.
From Sawyers.
I knocked on the BB machine——
#Why don’t you just tell me directly? There’s no need to send someone to find me, right?
#You could have told me the contents of the file directly, but you still asked the teacher to send it to me.
#The reason I sent you the invitation is the same as the reason you asked the teacher to send me the documents.
#Your room has been cleaned for you.
Talking to smart people is simple.
Yes, I want to go out and play.
——I haven’t left the Divine Court for almost a year!
And this golden invitation from Sawyers was ostensibly an invitation for me to come out of retirement.
Of course, not in the name of the Monster Alliance, but in the name of the owner of Yates Villa.
He also donated some money to the temple.
The amount is not small.
I picked up the quill and wrote a brief explanation to Raymondsis on the paper.
Then I stamped it with my personal seal.
This trip was a secret one, and those watching over the Divine Court knew that I had received the invitation and where it came from.
He must be watching my moves now.
But they would never have thought that I would run away alone.
So even if I show up there at that time, they will just be surprised, but they won’t think too much about why I’m there.
True and false, those who play power games will become suspicious and indecisive.
I took off the necklace around my neck, took out the long-lost black ribbon and put it on my eyes, then took out a black casual dress from the closet, tied my hair up high and put on a cloak.
This is a fictional world, so I can hide my unique hair color with just a cloak.
Passersby will automatically ignore it anyway.
Although it's strange, it works.
With so many worlds, I can now face the strange common sense in each world calmly.
Then I took advantage of the night, jumped out of the window, and left the temple.
It was at this time that I understood Yomel's determination to retire and leave. No one could stand working here every day after opening their eyes.
With my inhuman abilities, it would only take me half a day to get home.
It was fast, and I was able to have breakfast with Sawyers.
