Chapter 208 - 138: Elanna’s Tail Healing and the Saintess (10.8K, Supplement 63/65)_4
Realizing that Lanxiaoyu understood her meaning, the Sea God’s Divine Favored nodded, as if to thank her.
With the sound of electric current passing through, Lanxiaoyu felt momentarily confused, then suddenly heard a voice that could trigger endless fantasies:
"Hello, I am Sofia Betty, the Saintess of the Sea God Church. I snuck out today, and I’m very sorry if I’ve disturbed you by accident!"
That gentle voice made Lanxiaoyu feel like her heart was melting.
Such a polite person. Stay connected via empire
That was Lanxiaoyu’s first reaction.
She looked around and faintly saw a group of people dressed differently from the ordinary shoppers, nonchalantly surveying the business district.
She gestured to Sofia to duck down, and Sofia, instantly understanding, quietly hid behind a shelf.
After the group had left, Lanxiaoyu then signaled to Sofia.
When Sofia stood up, Lanxiaoyu quietly said:
"Aren’t you the Saintess of the Sea God Church? Why are you in the commercial district now, looking like you’re under control?"
Sofia tilted her head, looking curiously at Lanxiaoyu, and said, "Are you the one that the Earth Mother God Church has proclaimed to all the major powers as a citizen from the Harvest Goddess’ Divine Country?"
Sofia’s words stunned Lanxiaoyu. Did all these players have "Shangtiya" inscribed on their foreheads?
How come every NPC could tell they were players?
But that wasn’t right either. During her time in the Royal Capital, as long as she didn’t exhibit extremely abnormal behaviors, ordinary residents couldn’t sense anything unusual about her.
The ones who could identify them right away were mainly the Priests of the Earth Mother God Church.
Apparently sensing Lanxiaoyu’s confusion, Sofia softly laughed and said:
"Don’t be curious. The blessing of the earth’s bounty that permeates you is all too obvious to someone born of the Sea God Church like me."
Lanxiaoyu nodded and said, "Yes, in your terms, we are citizens of Shangtiya, but more often, people seem to prefer calling us Undead."
She paused, curious about how such Divine Favored saw player beings, so she asked: n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"In your eyes, what exactly are we, the Undead, or rather, the Earth Mother God’s blessings?"
Sofia pondered a moment, then truthfully said, "Simply put, your current bodies are but appearances, special forms fashioned from the Earth’s power.
Though they appear no different from flesh-and-blood bodies, even if your bodies are destroyed, they will be resurrected by the replenishment of the Power of Earth.
Of course, if someone were to destroy the very essence of your existence, your souls would no longer be able to rely on flesh-and-blood bodies constructed by the Power of Earth, and your so-called resurrection would be out of the question."
Lanxiaoyu was stunned. Wasn’t this just being banned?
She opened her mouth, astonished, and said, "Can you really do something like that?"
"Of course, something like this..."
Sofia’s hand gently pressed onto Lanxiaoyu, and a soft power flowed into her, causing her body to sway slightly. She looked at the blinking text on the system panel with panic.
[Warning! Warning! Due to external interference, your game character has triggered an abnormal state, and the death penalty has been changed.]
[The penalty mechanism has changed to: If you die while in this abnormal state, your account will be permanently canceled and irretrievable.]
[Please exercise caution during this current state...]
Hearing the system’s notification, Lanxiaoyu panicked. What was going on? Why had she suddenly been affected by an abnormal state?
She looked at Sofia in alarm and finally said in a low voice, "Can this state be removed?"
Hearing Lanxiaoyu’s voice as if she was about to cry, Sofia came back to her senses and gave her an apologetic smile.
Only when Sofia’s hand was removed from her did Lanxiaoyu finally hear the voice that eased her mind.
[Abnormal state removed, death penalty mechanism has ended prematurely]
Upon hearing this, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Sofia, half laughing and half crying, "You just scared me to death!"
An innocent look appeared on Sofia’s face; she had merely meant it as a gesture, for she too was curious about the citizens of Shangtiya whom she had not really seen before.
With her perspective, she could tell that this Undead was not like the rumors say, "housing an endless potential for destruction and merely being sealed" — all that nonsensical stuff.
Because there was not a trace of battle on her body, or rather... she was too pure.
So pure that... this girl seemed to have never experienced war at all, filled with feminine intellect, like a well-bred noble lady who had not engaged in farm work, possessing decent knowledge in the judgment of Divine Arts...
If this were on the continent, upon first sight, Sofia might even have thought she was a lady who had stealthily escaped from her home.
But the Undead’s every word and action were too merry, nothing like someone who had been through noble education.
Just seeing this Undead allowed Sofia to glimpse an iceberg’s tip of the Shangtiya Divine Country...
An idyllic kingdom that hadn’t experienced war in a long time, with high cultural education and plenty of food and clothing.
What do you think?
