I was accidentally injured by God and I just want to be an ordinary person

"T-Ten o'clock..."

After standing there for a few seconds, Theresia put away the shocked expression on her face and let out a sigh.

"I understand. If this is a realm no one has ever reached, it's not surprising that something out of the ordinary would happen. However, the curse is indeed Lady Eve's fault. Please allow our church to compensate you."

"Your Majesty, There's no need—"

"Princess, could you please let me handle this matter?"

Just as Ella was about to refuse, Camisia stepped forward.

"It just so happens that I have something concerning the demons that I want to discuss with Teriya."

"Hmm... Since this is a matter concerning the demons, I'll leave it to Camisia."

Thinking that Camisia might want to improve the lives of the demons, Ella did not stop Camisia, and Tria had no objection to this.

"Then we'll discuss the details with Her Excellency Camisia later. As for the last matter... the letter I sent earlier mentioned that Her Excellency the Demon King was accepting the position of high priestess. Are you serious about this?"

Theresia's expression became very subtle. Of course, it didn't mean that demons couldn't become believers of the Enstanit Church. It was purely a question of identity. Although the number of high-ranking priests only accounted for less than 1% of the church, compared with the unique existence of the Demon Queen, they seemed too shabby no matter how you looked at it and were not worth mentioning at all.

Recalling Lucia's pleading expression when she left, Ella couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Just as the letter says, it's true. It was entrusted to me by my friend, Lucia, the auxiliary bishop of the Most Holy College."

"Lucia...Lucia...I understand. Although I could appoint you as a high priest right now, it's inappropriate. I believe that the Demon Queen should be given a higher position. If possible, it would be best to hold a public ceremony in the Holy City to make public the Demon Queen's friendship with Lady Eve."

Perhaps what Theria said mentioned something that interested Eve, and Eve nodded.

"Yes, I support it."

"Why is Eve so nosy at this moment?—Your Majesty Theresia, I am already quite content with my position as a high priestess. Please refrain from such grand ceremonies."

This wasn't self-deprecation, but a request from the heart. Public ceremonies would definitely make me the center of attention, so I had to avoid it as much as possible. I could never get used to the feeling of being the center of attention, no matter how many times I experienced it.

"Theria, ritual, required."

"Since it's Lady Eve's decision..."

"Eve, stop making trouble!"

"Well, let's make it grand."

"Yes, I understand, but it will take some time to prepare. Can we set the time for a week from now? During this time, please ask the Demon Queen to stay in the Holy City for a while. You can always ask the Knights for anything you need."

Completely ignoring Ella's protests, Tria immersed herself in Eve's advice.

"I want to be with Ella."

"Are you talking about this period of time, Lady Eve?"

"Um."

"Of course, no problem. I will do my best to fulfill your wish without affecting Lady Eve's health."

In response to Tria's words, Eve raised the corner of her mouth at a very subtle angle and nodded.

"The name remains unchanged."

Realizing that Eve was talking about her Christian name, Theria hesitated for a moment and glanced at Ella.

According to Tria's original idea, if Eve used "Enstanit" as her Christian name, there would be much less discussion in the church about Eve's upcoming status - "Saint".

As for the voices of discussion, without exception, they all said that Eve was no longer the original Saint Eve, and had no devout belief in the One God at all, and even her religious name no longer existed. Therefore, for Theria, there must be a reason to suppress these voices, and the religious name is a good choice. But judging from the current situation, it seems that there is no need to change the religious name at the risk of violating Eve's wishes. Another reason can be used to make these people shut up.

The answer is simple, that is the existence of the Demon Queen and her companions. As long as Eve maintains a close relationship with Ella and her group - including two future queens and another princess - even if it cannot be said that she has a protective umbrella in the strict sense, the benefits are countless. Not to mention that there may be a terrifying existence behind Ella who can use tenth-level magic. As long as this relationship exists, all objections can only be forced back into her throat.

So the next thing to do is to amplify this relationship and make the bond public, as Eve requested, the more grand the better.

The hesitation on his face gradually relaxed, and a kind smile appeared on Theresia's wrinkled face.

"Of course, Lady Eve, you will become the new Saint under the name Eve Nott Mistydin. Also, I'll leave it to you to show the Demon Queen around the Holy City."

"Yes, definitely."

Eve nodded in satisfaction.

Chapter 3: Good Friday of Telas (Part 1)

*创世纪6187年6月1日 上午9:19分 圣都

Tras was walking alone on the busy streets of the Holy City.

As the deputy commander of the Seventh Knights Templar, he received a special mission two days ago - to assassinate Saint Eve. Of course, the assassination here should be put in quotation marks. To be more precise, it should be "to become someone who is detrimental to Saint Eve". In this way, the Demon Queen who is traveling with Saint Eve can take action to defeat him.

The first thing to be sure of is that this was not an act done to make the life of the Demon Queen more interesting. This was a very meaningful and important task. According to the Pope who assigned him the task, once the Demon Queen defeated him, soldiers disguised as civilians would rush out from around him, and then they would praise him with the utmost words and spread the story of "The Demon Queen took the initiative to help Saint Eve eliminate the assassin" to the ears of every resident of the Holy City.

As for the purpose, it was nothing more than to magnify the relationship between the Demon Queen and Saint Eve. Even if the Demon Queen herself might not think so, the significance of this action was to quell the opposition within the church, so there was no need to consider that aspect at all. Moreover, this action had the secret permission of the Demon Queen's guard, the Executioner Camisia. It could be said that both the church and the demons wanted to promote this friendly relationship. Except for the opposition in the church, Saint Eve and the Demon Queen herself, almost all the participants knew about it.

After sorting out his thoughts again, Tesla lowered his head and smiled bitterly so that the people around him wouldn't hear.

"I really hope that Demon Queen will be gentler."

Generally speaking, as the executor of the mission, Tesla would be publicly punished in order to give the public an explanation and serve as a warning to others. Even if other means were used to cover up the death, he would have to retreat behind the scenes afterwards. However, because the Seventh Knights Templar itself was the role behind the action, it was most appropriate to let Tesla carry out the mission. This could avoid the risk of losing talents and have the appropriate strength - Tesla was a level 34 warrior.

Therefore, there was no possibility of failure in this operation. He only needed to stand out and act in a way that was disadvantageous to Saint Eve, and then the Demon Queen would knock him down with the violent magic that the demons were proud of. No, even if the powerful magic only touched him lightly, he would pretend to be seriously injured and flee in embarrassment. There was no problem at all.

Thinking that he was about to complete a great plan, Tesla felt an excitement that he had not felt for a long time. The sense of accomplishment was like adding the finishing touch to a mythical work of art, which could not be described in words.

"Well……"

Constantly adjusting his breathing, the disguised Tesla tried to suppress his inner excitement. He rubbed his face and raised his head with an expressionless look, but what he didn't expect was that within his sight, the faces of the residents passing by all had expressions of restrained intense excitement.

[Hey, hey, aren't these guys' expressions too weird? Wait, this feels like... could it be that these are soldiers deployed by the Pope? They're all over the street?]

Tesla was sure that if he had not been a behind-the-scenes staff member and had not received special training, he would be so surprised that his mouth would be unable to close.

[Huh—let's talk about these things later. Right now, the most important thing is to find Lady Eve. According to the information given by Lady Executioner Camisia, Lady Eve and the Demon Queen will pass through the alley ahead at noon...]

It only took less than five minutes for Tesla to reach the alley at a walking speed that a normal person would never have. Although it was called an alley, it was not narrow at all. Dozens of people could walk side by side without feeling crowded.

Telas nodded.

"Well, this kind of environment is more suitable. Whether it's for the Demon Queen to perform her magic or for the audience to see, a wider venue will make it easier to achieve the goal. So... let's put in some protection and disguise."

He didn't know the Demon Queen's level - usually, one would be asked to take a level test when entering the city, but no one would be so blind as to ask the Demon Queen to do it - so he could only estimate the damage based on the description in the legend. It was probably to the extent that a single magic spell could destroy a stone house. However, this was the Holy City, and Eve was accompanying him, so the Demon Queen should not use magic with such a large range. A preliminary estimate was that it should be a single-target magic within the fourth level.

Even so, the power of a fourth-tier single-target magic was already strong enough to be considered an area magic. Although Taras had never seen a fourth-tier single-target magic, judging from the fact that the third-tier single-target magic "Spear of Magic" could create a large crater with one strike, fourth-tier magic was definitely a type that he could not resist alone. For this reason, Tras deliberately wore precious orichalcum armor. With this protection, coupled with his physical fitness as a warrior, he was sure that even if he was bombarded head-on, the injuries would not be too serious.

After putting on his protective gear swiftly, Tesla took out a small bottle of black liquid from the package. This was a magical dye that could dye the armor black. Combined with the finely crafted camouflage mask given by the Pope, no one would be able to recognize his true identity except for those who were beyond the realm of heroes.

After being fully prepared, Tesla gestured a few times in front of the hand mirror. After confirming that it was very different from usual, Tesla coughed twice and began to conceive the lines.

"What did those thieves say? I really don't understand... The Seventh Templar Knights wouldn't take on this kind of work. Hmm—playing the local boss? Without the backing of thugs, this excuse will definitely be seen as suspicious by the Demon Queen."

Tras frowned.

"While direct action is an option, it wouldn't be a dramatic one. If we don't create a scene from the start, creating a reason to attract people, the audience arranged by the Pope will be in a difficult position. Then, are we really just pretending to be scoundrels? I remember seeing them on the streets. I remember them using the excuse of needing gold coins, and if I don't give them, they'll just attack me. Yeah, that's all we need."

Nodding repeatedly at his brilliant idea, Tesla looked around himself.

"Ah, yes, you can't show your armor. It's better to cover it with two layers of rags like slaves would wear, and make your hair a little more messy. Hey, over there, give me your clothes. This is your reward."

His vision just happened to catch sight of a slave squatting in a far corner. Tras waved to him and easily exchanged two copper coins for this tattered and strongly smelly piece of clothing. With the magic dye that had been splashed on his body and smeared on his face in advance, Tras now looked no different from a slave with a tragic fate. Disguise was also one of his compulsory courses.

"Well then, let's wait for the Demon Queen and Lady Eve to arrive."

Trass imitated the slave he had seen before, buried his head between his knees, and squatted in the corner.

Chapter 4: Good Friday of Telas (Part 2)

About ten minutes later, two people who made Tesla look forward to, excited and nervous came into Tesla's sight.

It was June, and Ella and Eve were both wearing light clothes. Perhaps because they had just come from the market, they could be seen holding something that looked like food in their hands.

"Is it finally here... ahem... stay calm and wait until you're close before attacking."

Tesla raised his head, glanced at it, and then quickly returned to his original posture.

One step, two steps, the well-trained Tesla can judge how far the other party is from him based on the sound of footsteps - he only needs to take a few more steps and he can start, no, complete his plan.

But what surprised Tesla was that the footsteps stopped there and did not seem to be getting closer to him.

[Could it be that he discovered me? Impossible. The mask given by the Pope has the ability to conceal knowledge. How could he be seen through?]

Tesla couldn't help but feel anxious.

“Wow… There are slaves here too. The Holy City isn’t such a beautiful place after all…”

"Well, not perfect."

"If it's winter now, it must be very difficult. You look pitiful - you must be very hungry, right? Can you take this?"

A slightly childish voice sounded in my ears - the other party had approached me.

Almost subconsciously, Tesla raised his head.

You can see a paper bag placed on the ground. Judging from the oil stains on it, it should contain some kind of food.

For a moment, Tesla, stunned by the unexpected development, could only look between Ella and the paper bag.

"Don't be afraid, okay? We won't do anything to you. Well, if you continue to stay here, you'll be in trouble, right? Eve, it's time to go find Angeline and Fukagan."

"Um."

"what……"

Tras was stunned and speechless. He had never expected that the Demon Queen would be so kind as to give food to a poor stranger, which put him in a very embarrassing situation. Even though he didn't need it, the Demon Queen was the one who gave him food after all. This kindness made him feel embarrassed to ask the Demon Queen to embarrass him again.

[Damn it, now is not the time to hesitate. The most important thing is to make Lady Eve a saint.]

Suppressing his inner guilt, Tesla dismissively waved the paper bag away, stood up, and quickly ran to Ella who had already passed him.

"I--"

"What's wrong? Not to your taste?"

Please stop saying things like that!

Ella's puzzled look as she tilted her head once again pierced Tras's conscience.

Completely ignoring Ella's question, Trass showed as ferocious an expression as possible, took out a dagger from behind with trembling hands, and held it in front of him with both hands.

"I need money—"

For a character like the Demon Queen, money is certainly not a problem. Not to mention gold coins, even platinum coins and gem coins can be spent at will. Tesla has certainly considered this, but the problem lies in the Demon King's dignity and status. Being asked for money by a rogue, even if money itself is not a problem, this maggot's challenge will have no other effect except to arouse the Demon King's anger.

"Money? Hmm, it's true that some people can't tolerate sweet food like that. In that case, would copper coins be okay? I just ran out of silver."

"ha?"

For a moment, Tesla lost control of his emotions.

"Hmm... isn't that enough after all?"

"Hmph, I want gold coins! Hand over all the gold coins you have!"

"Gold coins? Well, I'm going to exchange the Demon Gold Coins for regular gold coins later. You must have encountered some difficulties, right? Are these enough?"

Ella stretched out her hand and handed over the few scattered gold coins she had on her.

Tras frowned.

[Hey, hey...are you stupid? Would a normal person just give gold coins to someone they don't know?]

However, Tesla soon realized that the person standing in front of him was not an ordinary person. He subconsciously clicked his tongue. Although continuing would deepen his sin, for the sake of Eve and the future of the church, sacrificing one's individual conscience here was just a trivial matter.

[It's probably going to take forever if I keep asking for the gold coins, so I'd better just do it. With the commotion just now, the people around here should be ready.]

Thinking of this, Tesla hardened his heart and rushed towards Eve, who was two steps away from him, at a speed that a gangster would never have. At this point, it was time to thoroughly reveal his identity as a killer so as to exaggerate the achievements of the Demon Queen.

Just as Trass had imagined, Ella reacted in time, pulled Eve over and jumped away with her, and Trass did not chase her, waiting for the two to distance themselves - this was to give the Demon Queen enough time to chant.

Ella hid Eve behind her and took out the Arrow of Fire.

"Tsk, he's actually a killer?"

Everything was finally back on track. Tesla felt relieved and began to focus on provoking Ella.

"Yes, so what?"
