Strength 99999 but the Holy Sister

"It's okay. I'm just going to sleep."

Elsa couldn't help but smile and stepped aside.

"If you can't sleep alone, then come over to my place."

"Eh? Is this ok?"

"What does it matter? We're friends anyway, right?"

Aisha said frankly, and Vivian immediately pursed her lips in joy, smiling.

"Um……"

I have to say that the furnishings and configuration of this guest room are indeed luxurious. The bedroom is large and tidy, and you can smell the scent of aromatherapy as soon as you walk in. As long as you draw the curtains, the whole room will become dark, and you can rest at any time even during the day.

The velvet bed was soft, comfortable, and wide. Both Elsa and Vivian were relatively slim, so it was more than enough for the two of them to lie down. In Elsa's opinion, there was even room for one or two more people to lie down.

Elsa had already taken off her outer clothes, and Vivian carefully took off her nun's uniform with her back to Elsa, then she crawled into the thin blanket and curled up into a cute little ball. But she didn't know whether she was shy or what, but she kept her back to Elsa.

"Go to sleep first."

"Um..."

Aisha said, and then she heard Vivian's response as thin as a firefly.

If Aisha could see Vivian's face, she would find that Vivian's eyes were wide open and her expression was stiff - it was the first time, the first time she and Aisha were so close, and both of them were only wearing a thin petticoat.

Intentionally or unintentionally, Vivian's back rested on Elsa's waist, and her warm body temperature passed through the thin petticoat. The touch of the perfect soft lines was very tempting - Vivian felt the heat in her nose and her throat was dry. She maintained this posture and dared not move.

Elsa naturally didn't know about Vivian's little tricks. She didn't reject simple physical contact with girls, nor did she think Vivian had any ulterior motives. She continued to read a book on the bed for a while. Maybe Vivian was really tired. After a while, Elsa heard Vivian's quiet breathing.

Elsa looked at Vivian's shoulders exposed from the thin blanket. Her smooth shoulders rose and fell slowly with her breathing. Elsa lifted the blanket slightly for Vivian.

This made Aisha feel like she was taking care of her sister.

Elsa sighed softly, closed the book in her hand, and lay down to sleep.

97. Vivian is sleeping [Part 3]

When Elsa woke up, Vivian was still sleeping soundly, but she didn't know when Vivian had turned towards Elsa, lying on her side, slightly curled up next to Elsa's shoulder, with her small nose twitching.

Without waking Vivian, Elsa carefully removed her shoulder, resting the pillow against her face and gently tucking the covers in. Elsa walked to the window, lifted the curtains, and peeked in. It had to be said that this was a dedicated guest room after all, and the view from the window was excellent. She could clearly see the entire Dammas Fortress and the rolling plains and forests beyond. Elsa even saw the hill that had been destroyed when she'd crushed Clarence with her own gun. The huge brown dent stood out beside the forest outside the city.

At this time, the plains and forests were covered with a thin layer of orange twilight - it seemed that she had slept for almost the entire afternoon.

After thinking about it, Aisha pushed the door open and went out.

Outside the door were enclosed corridors on both sides. Elsa's room was next to Vivian's and Filia's. Filia's door was tightly closed. Elsa couldn't hear any movement from inside, and it seemed she was still resting.

These rooms are facing the corridor windows. Looking out through the windows in the corridor, you can see the huge goddess statue and fountain flower beds in the monastery courtyard. There is a door at the end of the corridor. When you push it open, you can see four fully armed church knights on duty. The moment Elsa pushed open the door, she saw them stand straighter as if by reflex, as if they were standing in front of the class teacher while being punished. However, there was no fear on their faces, but excitement.

Elsa didn't know what to say. In fact, she didn't need these people to help her stand guard, but it was the church's arrangement after all, and she was the one who got the advantage.

"Thank you for your hard work," Aisha asked, "Did anyone come here this afternoon?"

"The sage has been here, as have the bishop and the lord."

In fact, in addition to the Sage, many other people have been here, including lords, bishops, masters of the Knights Templar, and even a few priests and nuns who occasionally wandered around for a while - but the Sage gave them direct orders, telling them not to report their arrival.

They could understand it, of course. After all, there were so many people who wanted to see the "hero" now. If they informed everyone, they would be exhausted to death, and the "hero" would certainly be annoyed.

Elsa nodded, asked them about Mary again, thanked them, and left.

Arriving at the atrium corridor on the first floor, Elsa walked to the end and saw Mary talking to several nuns. Because Mary was facing away from Elsa, the nuns saw Elsa first, and their eyes suddenly became bright.

Mary also turned around and saw Elsa.

"Elsa, did you rest well?"

Mary immediately stepped forward to say hello. Actually, she really wanted to add "adult" after Elsa, but Elsa didn't want her friends to seem so distant.

"Thank you, it's not bad, I like it very much."

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Mary, Elsa asked about the bishop's visit to her in the afternoon.

Mary understood. She glanced at the nuns who were staring at Elsa curiously, their eyes almost popping out of their irises. She coughed lightly, and they reluctantly looked away. Mary asked them to wait a moment and took Elsa to the second-floor building behind the monastery courtyard.

At this time, Bishop Pittman was in the study on the second floor. When Aisha saw him, he was standing in front of a row of bookshelves, holding a few books in his hands, as if he was looking for something. There were letter papers and unused envelopes on the table beside him. It seemed that he was writing a letter just now. The setting sun cast into the house from the window. Looking out of the window, you can see a corner of the Dammas Fortress and the plains, as well as the Rhedes Mountains in the distance to the northeast, but now it is already the Rhedes Mountains.

When he saw Elsa, Pittman immediately came up to her warmly and chatted with her, which was completely different from the cold feeling he gave when he first met her.

"Sister Elsa Faris, you are the hero who defeated the demon general Tobias and defended the fortress. Your story is spreading everywhere. I hope those people are not causing you any trouble. I apologize for disturbing you during your rest time. I was actually planning to discuss the 'Holy Sister Selection' with you."

Pittman finally got to the point and was very respectful to Aisha.

"I'm sure this selection of the Holy Sisters is no longer meaningful to you. Do you plan to withdraw?"

With Elsa's strength, there is no need for her to continue to participate in the selection. It is better to say that as long as Elsa is willing, she can choose any position in the church except the Pope. Why is there any need for such a person to participate in the election?

Pittman naturally thought that Aisha would not continue to participate in the selection, but he couldn't say such words out loud. He said that would be presumptuous and would also make Aisha lose face, so he proposed it tactfully to give Aisha a way out. He believed that Aisha would definitely take this way out, and then he would take the opportunity to propose that Aisha be awarded an honorary position, reward, and compensation.

But Elsa thought about it and shook her head.

"I don't plan to quit. I want to continue to participate in the selection and become a holy sister."

"what?"

Pittman was stunned, obviously surprised by Aisha's answer. Aisha looked at Pittman's embarrassed expression and smiled.

"Your Excellency, please continue to treat me as an ordinary nun. I hope this will not cause you any trouble."

"Why would it be troublesome? No, no, no."

Hearing Elsa identify herself as a "nun", Pittman smiled happily - of course, he couldn't continue to treat Elsa as an ordinary nun, but the meaning of this sentence was not that. It meant that Elsa was willing to continue to stay in the church, which was undoubtedly a great thing for the church.

However, since Elsa wants to continue to participate in the selection, how to arrange the subsequent work has become a headache.

"Given your abilities, selection into the Holy Sisters is a foregone conclusion. How about this?" Pittman said quickly. "You can participate in the selection as a special guest and proceed directly to the next stage. You only need to show up at that time."

After all, if Elsa participated in the selection, it would be too unfair to others and would only be a waste of Elsa's time.

It would be better to let Elsa advance directly. As for whether Elsa is willing to come or not, it is up to Elsa - the rest of the people just need to decide the other rankings. After all, there is more than one spot for the Holy Nun.

Elsa had no objection to this.

Until Elsa left, Pittman did not give away the space equipment in his hand - Elsa declined it all.

This made him feel a little numb, and he tried every possible way to get closer to Aisha, but it didn't seem to be going well.

And to be honest, he couldn't understand what Elsa was thinking.

After leaving the monastery, Elsa met Lord Shibbern again. As expected, Shibbern merely wanted to establish a presence and build a relationship, and Elsa declined his offer. Tricia knew all of this—the mark of the communication magic was still on the backs of Shibbern's and Pitman's hands.

"Neither intending to deepen relations with the Church nor rejecting the Empire's invitation..."

Tricia smiled and liked Elsa more and more, because everything Elsa did made her feel at ease.

She thought about it, put on her clothes and walked out of the room - she knew that Elsa was about to arrive, and the so-called invitation at night was actually an experiment she wanted to do, trying to let Elsa touch her more and see if she could use this method to dispel the curse of the devil.

As for the method...it's hard to say. After all, this method is too simple, even she would feel embarrassed - but fortunately, Elsa is also a girl, which makes her not have such a heavy psychological burden. If Elsa were a man, she would never do it this way.

To this end, she prepared several magic circles with different effects and some potions, and waited for Elsa.

Sure enough, Elsa arrived after a while.

"Elsa, come here, please."

After a brief greeting, Tricia got straight to the point and welcomed Aisha into her room.

The room she lived in was on the top floor of the castle. It was very large, but there were almost no furnishings or decorations. The walls and floor of the simple room were all engraved with magical patterns. However, the magic circle had been closed by Tricia at this time to prevent it from being stepped on by Elsa.

Aisha was still curiously looking at this room which was so plain that it didn't match Tricia's status.

"This is my 'bedroom'. Actually, it's probably a magic circle that can seal magic."

Tricia explained how she had been cursed by the devil years ago and how she had been forced to carve a magic circle on her body to stay alive. This was the first time Elsa had heard of this secret and she had gained more respect for the brave man and saint whom she had never met. She also had a better understanding and admiration for Tricia, who looked elegant, mature and steady.

For decades, I have been doing the same thing day after day, losing all my feelings but still persisting. Not everyone can do this.

Considering her own abilities, Aisha had already guessed why Tricia was looking for her this time.

"Can I ask you a favor, Elsa?"

"If I can help, I'm willing to try."

"Thank you."

Tricia thanked him solemnly, with an indescribable meaning in her eyes. She suddenly turned around and touched her chest with her fingers.

The black dress like crow feathers slid down from Tricia's smooth skin, layer after layer, piling up at her heels like feathers, revealing a body engraved with countless runes and magical patterns - this scene shocked Elsa, not only because Tricia stood naked in front of her, but also because of the dense magical runes on Tricia's body. Even though she had guessed it, the feeling when she actually saw it was completely different.

"It's...ugly...right?"

Tricia didn't show much embarrassment. Although her face flushed a little, she walked up to Aisha generously and slowly held Aisha's hand.

This made her gasp slightly, her breathing hot and her eyes blazing as she stared at Elsa.

"Please, touch me..."

——On the other side, Vivian had a beautiful dream. When she woke up, she found that the charming fragrance that permeated her chest in the dream was actually just the pillow that Elsa had slept on.

She got up from the bed with her heart churning, but she didn't see Elsa. When she walked out of the room, she only met Filia.

Where is Elsa?

Recalling the scene in her dream, Vivian felt disappointed and confused. It was the first time she felt such an empty heart.

98. New Trouble [Fourth Update]

late at night--

When the knight team sent to Weilin Town to investigate the black monster returned to Dammas City, the city had already fallen into silence, and the knight captain heard the bad news.

"The fortress was attacked?"

This is simply unimaginable. This is the Dammas Fortress, a place that has never fallen even during the Demon King War. It is as solid as the continuous and majestic Ledes Mountains. How could it be breached?

"We don't know what's going on—those vampires and ghouls didn't come from outside, so they can't break through our walls."

The man said.

"The Knights and Magicians are still investigating, but thankfully, the 'Hero' defeated the awakened Demon General Tobias. You weren't here, so you don't know—if you have time, you should go to the Rydes Mountains. You'll be able to see them from here at daybreak."

time?

No, what he lacks most is time.

He didn't have time to ask any more questions and galloped through the city - riding horses was usually not allowed in the fortress, but he had military documents in his hand, and several checkpoints simply confirmed it before letting him pass.

He rode a horse and went straight to the headquarters of the Magicians Corps in the central city, where he was met by the deputy chief, Madeus Ryan.

Ryan is now the acting leader.

"You mean to say that Father Hugh Angus sent you to deliver this?"

Ryan took the old book with a black leather cover from the guard. He was still wearing his wizard robes and looked tired. Since he took over as the acting leader, he has been too busy to handle everything. The matter in the ruins of the underground palace has not been completely concluded, and the investigation and subsequent finishing work are still in progress. In addition, he must dispatch personnel to assist the Knights in maintaining order and patrolling in the fortress. Moreover, the fortress's air defense magic circle has been damaged, and he also has to send people to follow up on the situation in real time. All of this made him so busy that he could not breathe.

He had just returned from the ruins of the underground palace when he received news that the mysterious man who had contact with the vampires might be a minion of the remnants of the Demon King's army, and was very likely the mysterious man mentioned by the wanted criminal Aru who was captured earlier.

This made him very anxious.

Forty years have passed since the Demon King was defeated, but during this period there are still occasional reports of the remnants of the Demon King's army being active. They have gradually formed an established organization that specializes in attacking various countries, often retaliating from behind or assassinating important figures.

This is how the former lord of Dammas City died.

It would be a big mistake to underestimate the remnants of the Demon King's army just because the Demon General is dead.

Just when he was worried, a knight captain came to his door and said that he had to see him at all costs. He had no choice but to meet the knight who had returned from the town of Verin in his study.

"Yes, the priest told me to deliver it directly to you no matter what!"

The knight's voice made Ryan's ears hurt. Ryan looked at the book in his hand, which contained a letter - he had practiced with the old priest for a period of time, and the old priest had saved his life and given him a new lease on life. Since it was related to the old priest, he naturally would not refuse.

So he concentrated his magic power on his fingertips, gently opened the envelope, and pulled out the letter. There was indeed the old priest's handwriting on it.

As he watched, Ryan's expression immediately became serious.
