Arad's unruly savior

Mona carefully took the handwritten manuscript. The curator also gave her many photos of Bai Hai. The specific layout and combination of the text and photos was not her area of ​​expertise, so she could leave it to the publisher for processing.

She naturally didn't need to follow up on proofreading and typesetting, but the curator's original manuscript was very important. She was the chamber of commerce boss's most frequently used and most satisfied secretary, so coming in person was a sign of respect, and also a chance to discuss the book signing event with the curator in detail.

After receiving the manuscript, she did not leave immediately. Instead, she first skimmed through it. This was not out of distrust of the curator, but to make sure she knew exactly what was inside and to avoid any accidental loss without her knowledge. This is the kind of professionalism that a highly skilled person should have.

With a mature and alluring figure, the curator, her frown revealing a charming smile, asked:

"Mona, you seem to know everything. Celia says you're a crazy bear-like talent."

Whether it's the work skills that a boss's secretary needs to master, or things that seem to be outside her job scope, even in unfamiliar areas, Mona can adapt well and handle things in an orderly manner, demonstrating top-notch abilities in all aspects.

"Well, I'm still not as good as Crazy Bear. I don't know everything. When I encounter something I don't understand, I still need to ask others for help." Mona's humility was just right.

A talent like Crazy Bear… This wasn’t just a joke; Mona knew it was a very high level of praise.

Imiwu's friend, Crazy Bear, was initially just a magical assistant, helping her manage the dark house, set up spooky parties, and go out to buy groceries... But it became more and more versatile, and no one knew where it learned it from, but it knew a little bit about everything.

I highly doubt that it even understands some of the design drawings for technological products.

Yuena often said, "We can throw away the short, stout guy, but we have to keep the bear."

Mona chatted for a few more minutes, then got up to say goodbye and left the manor with the manuscript.

On her way out of the manor, she saw a woman dressed casually in slippers and hot pants. She was a stranger to her, but incredibly beautiful, stunning even to her own eyes as a woman. She was sitting under a grape trellis with lush green leaves, chatting with several other women, some familiar and some unfamiliar.

The Pinochet sisters draped the growing grapevines over the gazebo corridor in their yard. When the season came, the green leaves would block out the sunlight, casting a cool shade, while also hanging down bunches of beautiful grapes.

…………

Remy closed his eyes for a moment, listening to the believers' prayers, and discovered that the faith power that used to be able to accurately point to him had shifted somewhat, and then two other unfamiliar faith powers converged on him instead. Indeed, there was the problem that Raphael had mentioned.

“Some of my prayers to my God are no longer directed toward Him.”

The "God" she spoke of was actually herself. However, because there were three believers present who had never seen God's true face, Remi only said that she was an angel under God's command, Somi.

It's still her alternate account.

Since she arrived on the continent of Arad, she has strolled around the Grand Cathedral in slippers and bought snacks on the street. However, the number of people on the continent of Arad who know her true identity and who are in the manor has always been just a few: Yue Na, the two priests of the Grand Cathedral, and Luciel the arsonist.

Irena, Raphael, and others are no longer considered people of the Arad continent.

She had met Archbishop Magello, but the old man did not recognize the god he worshipped. He was only surprised by the woman's strong sense of light and pure aura, which made her an excellent light physique and a natural paladin. He took the initiative to ask her if she wanted to join the clergy, and said with a kind face that she would definitely receive divine revelation.

Remy did not agree on the spot, saying that he would consider it, which disappointed the archbishop.

The three unfamiliar faces of the believers who came to the Arad Continent were ancient believers from the divine realm. They were a group of believers who had previously practiced primitive worship of the sun and light, and over time gradually clarified the source of their faith and received divine revelation.

Although their professional system is not as numerous and complete as that of the clergy on the Arad continent, they still maintain their reverence for life and light in the divine realm where the Mist God is the main deity, and the purity of their faith is beyond doubt.

After the passage between the continent of Arad and the realm of gods was opened, believers from both places began to recognize and communicate with each other, and would visit each other every now and then. When Saint Michael carried out the divine oracle to distribute the holy relics, the realm of gods made a gain and took one with them.

The three believers from the divine realm—Aria, Ophira, and Velentia—came on a visit, driven by a mysterious stirring within them that had recently arisen: to go to the continent of Arad, where they would find unexpected rewards.

The three of them interpreted this excitement and sense of accomplishment as meeting Somi, an angel under God's command.

The girl, with beautiful long, fiery red hair, a tall and slender figure, radiating youthful energy, and a proud, teardrop-shaped bust, named Arya, now frowned deeply, her expression a mixture of doubt and worry:
"How could this be? Is there something wrong with the believers? Has someone altered the prayer?"

This is a very serious incident and should be reported to the Cathedral immediately.

Arya never considered whether there was something wrong with the goddess of life and light herself. In her heart, the revelation of God and the light of God are eternal. God has always been by our side.

After thinking it over, Yuena already knew the answer and explained, "It's not that there's a problem with the prayer text. To be honest, the holy book can be torn up, but its words cannot be changed."

According to Arya, the holy books and thoughts of some believers had been altered, and the sacred texts they chanted had deviated from their faith in God, which was an extremely serious and important matter.

Remedios, the great god of life and light… This is the first phrase sung and prayed by believers, and it has never changed since the establishment of the faith. Now it is Remedios, the god of life, death and wisdom.

The portion of faith that belongs to life can still be directed towards her, but a part of the faith in the light has gone to the current holder of the power of light, namely her mother-in-law, Nimmel.

The same problem should have occurred in the Dark Templar Order of the Black-Dressed Lady, where the faith directed towards death would shift towards Remy, and the Black-Dressed Lady's power was solely that of darkness.

“The shift in faith needs to be addressed.” Obes and Grandis exchanged glances.

Remedios, the god of life and light, is the source of the primary revelatory power received by the clergy, which belongs to the realm of light. Holy light and divine flames are both domains of the power of light, while the power of life accounts for a very small proportion.

Therefore, prayers for light lead most of the faith to shift towards Nimeer.

The Dark Templar Order faces a similar problem. They wield the power of death and darkness, and while the ratio of these two powers is relatively balanced, they can only obtain the dark portion from Ushir, meaning there is a 50% deviation.

Then the problems faced by the wise believers are probably even greater and more serious, and their faith will shift entirely to Remi.

Remy whispered, "I'd forgotten about that."

Fortunately, this situation only occurred recently and has not yet caused a greater stir.

She can respond to the believers of wisdom on behalf of Nimère, and to the believers of death on behalf of the lady in the black dress. Nimère can also respond to the believers of light on her behalf, but this cannot continue indefinitely.

They didn't actually care about the slight loss of faith power; the gains from this were very limited. What they truly cared about was the inability to quickly provide feedback to their followers. "There must be a solution."

.........

"That woman... she seems to be someone of great importance and status. Even Miss Yuena treats her with great respect." A shocking thought suddenly flashed through Mona's mind before she left the manor.

The Grand Cathedral's Yuena is already recognized as a near-divine being, an angel walking on earth with divine and glorious power. So, could the person she respects be the one the clergy mentioned?

She herself had no cultivation level, but because she was Celia's secretary, she often came into contact with people of extremely high status and extraordinary backgrounds, although Mona did not know their specific identities.

Back in the Chamber of Commerce's headquarters in Huttonmar, Mona hadn't even warmed her seat yet. Diana, who ran a small firm but was always hanging around trying to drum up business, approached again, asking mysteriously:
"I heard that your boss's husband is back, that adventurer."

Mona nodded gently and said, "You're back. You're at home."

Then I glanced at her with a rather strange look and asked, "How did you know that, and why are you asking?"

Diana touched her long, braided hair, which draped diagonally over one shoulder—a volume that was the envy of many—and asked curiously:
"Mona, you seem to go to that manor quite often, like a family."

“I’ll take you with me next time. You know some of the people here, and you can come into our headquarters quite freely, so I guess they don’t treat you like an outsider,” Mona replied casually, then stopped working and stared at her.

Although this guy comes to her all the time, he usually has something to talk about, unlike now where he's just chatting about trivial things. Could it be that she's planning a big project but is short of resources, so she's come here to ask for sponsorship?

Mona sometimes envied her; she seemed a little carefree, as if she had no worries weighing on her.

"It's like this, I have a cousin who's about ten years old. She's smart and quick-witted, but she has a sharp tongue. She said that since I'm so old and still not married, there must be something wrong with me. So I bragged a little in front of her, saying that I'm completely focused on my career, have a high position, and know some very powerful people..."

Hearing Diana say that, she gave her a slightly strange look. So you were just bragging, saying you knew Ye Lin? Well, you really do know him.

"It's not Ye Lin, it's Mo Mei. Girls aren't at the age where they're starting to fall in love yet, they'll definitely prefer a pretty and capable older sister." Diana grabbed her hand and pleaded, asking if she could find a way to get Miss Mo Mei to back her up so she could be in a good position in front of the children.

I have a really wide network of connections; I know some incredibly capable people.

The key point is that my little cousin has already bragged about it to her classmates, saying that her older, unmarried cousin was able to invite the Nen Emperor from the strongest adventurer team, which is really amazing.

"I can pay, but I don't know if she needs it... I owe you a favor, and I owe her a favor. I'll repay you both by working like a slave from now on." Diana felt guilty and looked pitiful, and in the end, she didn't dare to look at him.

After hesitating for a while, Mona rubbed her temples and said helplessly, "I will try to invite you, but I can't guarantee whether I will succeed. Don't brag to others in the future."

Diana immediately smiled and said in a relaxed tone, "Our ordinary lives are usually uneventful. We go to work and come home. Apart from basic needs like food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, what else is it but trying to save face in front of others?"

Mona paused slightly, then carefully considered the word "ordinary".

She recalled that when she was at the manor, she had overheard some terrifying things: the universe, the end, outer gods, the ending, and so on. Even an ordinary person like herself could sense the horror in them.

The person who brought up these topics was also the very person whom Miss Yuena respected and who had a very important background.

The level that the strongest adventurer reached was beyond her reach, and the words he mentioned could all be true.

Mona murmured unconsciously, "Our normal lives now might be because someone has kept the disaster out of us, and we are unaware of it."

A special feeling welled up in her heart; she wanted to do something and contribute her modest efforts.

"Huh?" Diana tilted her head. What did you suddenly say? I didn't understand.

Mona casually replied, "It's okay. Treat me to dinner after get off work, and invite Aina too. I know a really good restaurant; their barbecue is amazing."

Fun fact about Hutton Mar: Beef prices have dropped significantly due to impacts on market sales.

"Aina, that waist-slimming girl, she seems to be busy with something lately. Did she find a boyfriend?" Diana said casually. Apart from going to work, she was often nowhere to be seen after get off work.

Aina is currently employed by the Chamber of Commerce and also works part-time as a fashion summer clothing model. Due to her slender waist and large breasts, beautiful and clean appearance, and excellent temperament, she is very popular and has many suitors.

"It's not that she has a boyfriend, she's on a diet!" Mona snorted, the last word almost uttered. Her figure was already exaggerated, and she still wanted to lose weight. It was too much. She had to be given a big meal of meat and have some milk tea powder secretly added to her drink.

"I understand." Diana was also full of murderous intent; she had to stuff her full.

After finalizing her work and departure plans, Mona glanced out the window. The sun was shining brightly; it was just another "ordinary" day.

.........

The curator's voluptuous curves, outlined beneath her lavender uniform, were accentuated by the fabric taut within the skirt, revealing her perfectly rounded peach-shaped buttocks, her ample, naturally swaying breasts, and her charming face exuding a captivating allure. With the air of a mature woman, she had become a feast in his eyes since Mona left.

"How long have I been gone?" Ye Lin pretended not to know, without looking at the calendar.

He was asking how many days had passed since he last left the Arad continent, basically starting from the time he reunited at the original site in Terra.

I did come back a few times along the way, but it was always in a hurry.

During this period, he missed all his daily tasks and needs to make them up.

Before the curator could even calculate, the sugarcane had already sunk into its plump, ripe form, and said:

"Big sister, I need your guidance."
