Zongman, start your journey to godhood by saving the heroine of anime

Although it wasn't much of a sight to behold in Bai Ye's eyes, he found Victorique quite fascinating upon seeing her for the first time.

From time to time.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded outside the private room.

"Excuse me, may I join you?"

The newcomer was a young nun carrying a travel bag. When she saw that the person in the private room was a handsome young man with a cute girl group, a hint of surprise flashed across the nun's face.

Bai Ye made room for Victorique and sat down next to her, while the nun sat down opposite them.

Are you two also heading to Horowitz?

The nun struck up a conversation with a rather familiar air.

"That's right!"

Victorica didn't bother to respond, but Bai Ye nodded politely.

After all, nuns are believers in God! Even though the God they believe in may not even exist in this world.

However, given the connection between Xiao Sheng and his own holy son, Bai Ye naturally felt more favorably toward nuns as clergy members.

Of course, this only applies to nuns; priests and the like can go to hell.

"You're probably only attracted to that pretty nun, aren't you? Draw your sword!"

"Little Saint, shut up!"

Just as Bai Ye was retorting to Xiao Sheng's criticism, the young nun spoke up again.

Are you... a young couple traveling to Horowitz... for tourism?

"No, we're going to take care of some things. What about you?"

"I'm home!"

The nun looked out the window at the night view.

“My name is Midri, and that place... is where I grew up.”

His gaze seemed to meet Victoria's for a fleeting moment in the reflection of the windowpane, and Bai Ye saw a complex, or perhaps enlightened, emotion in the girl's pupils.

The nun seemed to recognize Victorique's blonde hair and emerald green eyes. Could it be that the girl knew someone... or had she heard of someone with Victorique's appearance somewhere before?

"Look, we're almost there."

Before Bai Ye could delve deeper into the nun's identity, the nun pointed to a city outside the window and showed a happy expression.

As the nun said, the train had arrived at its destination, Horowitz.

Bai Ye, carrying Victoria's luggage, took her hand and walked out of the station with the nun.

"It's getting late, and judging from the weather tonight, it looks like there's going to be a storm. I need to find a place to stay quickly."

The nun looked at the dark clouds in the night sky, felt the strong winds blowing from all directions, and extended a friendly invitation to Bai Ye and his companion.

"If you don't have any recommendations, I know a cheap hotel. Would you like to take this young lady with you?"

Bai Ye glanced at Victorique beside him, and only agreed after seeing that Victorique nodded and had no objections.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Miss Midri!"

The city was very quiet and desolate. As Bai Ye walked along, he didn't see a single passerby. Of course, this might also be related to the fact that it was late at night.

Following behind Midori, I saw that every household had a bird carcass pierced by an arrow hanging at their door, as if trying to drive away some evil spirit, which felt very eerie.

Arriving at a hotel not far from the station, Bai Ye finally saw the first native of this city.

He was a tall, thin, middle-aged man who owned the hotel.

After paying the fees and completing the check-in procedures, the uncle solemnly warned Bai Ye and the others.

"Be careful of wolves on nights like this."

"Wolf?"

Bai Ye was a little puzzled. Could a human city really be attacked by wild wolves? But even if they did encounter wolves, it certainly wasn't them who should be careful. He was about to tell the uncle not to worry when he heard something unexpected.

"There are villages of gray wolves in the mountains around here. They come down from the mountains to attack humans on windy nights."

"Forehead..."

It turned out they were talking about the gray wolf. Bai Ye glanced at Victorique's figure behind him and was speechless for a moment.

However, the uncle ignored Bai Ye's emotions and continued to warn her.

"The dead birds hanging at the door of every house were actually killed to warn the gray wolf."

"You also came here because you saw those three ads and wanted to find the village of the gray wolves, right?"

"Are there other people?"

Victorique, who was behind him, suddenly stepped forward and asked with some curiosity.

The uncle glanced at Victorique.

"A group of people came yesterday because they saw the ad and wanted to drive up there."

He fanned his hand as if he were talking about something funny.

"However, because the slope was too steep, we had to turn back after only getting halfway up."

It seems that cars in this era didn't have the same horsepower as modern cars.

"Remember, don't anger the gray wolf, or something terrible will happen."

Suddenly, the uncle's expression turned serious, and he warned everyone.

"Don't worry, uncle. Even if you do encounter gray wolves, you should warn them not to anger me."

Bai Ye completely disregarded the older man's warning.

"Really? There will always be arrogant young people like you in the world!"

Sensing the indifference in Bai Ye's tone, the uncle simply sighed dismissively.

"Alright, just remember to be careful of people with blonde hair, rosy cheeks, and small bodies. That's all the advice I can give you. Young people always have to suffer losses to realize that what the older generation said is true."

As he spoke, the uncle took out three vintage keys from the counter behind him and handed them to Bai Ye and the other two.

Then he turned around and waved, indicating that they should just go upstairs and check in according to the room number on the key.

......

"That innkeeper seems to be a good person!"

As Sister Midri entered the hotel's stairwell, she uttered this remark.

"Indeed, a stranger wouldn't tell an outsider so many things."

Bai Ye nodded and waved to Victorique behind him.

After saying goodnight to the nun and Victorique, Bai Ye went straight into the room that had been arranged for him.

The room was very simply decorated, the bed was just a wooden board, and the soundproofing of the walls was not very good. Even with the windows closed, the sound of raindrops falling outside could be heard clearly.

However, Bai Ye didn't care about all that. After a busy day, all he wanted to do was lie down in bed and have a good night's sleep.

suddenly!

Outside the window, a thunderous roar of lightning ripped through the sky, accompanied by the howl of a wolf, causing Bai Ye, who was about to lie down, to suddenly stop.

Just after a dazzling flash of lightning outside the window, Bai Ye noticed that there seemed to be someone else outside his room.

"Knock knock!"

The soft knocking suggested that the person knocking wouldn't be very strong.

Bai Ye sat up and went to unlock the door. There she was, a small figure in light pink pajamas, clutching a small pillow, looking at her with teary eyes.

Isn't this Victorique herself, whom I just parted ways with?

"Bai...Baiye! Thunder...Thunder!"

"I...I'm scared!"

The girl's voice trembled slightly as she spoke, seemingly terrified of the thunderstorm, compounded by the occasional howls of wolves coming from outside.

Upon seeing this, Bai Ye quickly reached out and pulled the girl who was still standing at the door into his room.

Don't get me wrong, Bai Ye certainly wouldn't be so beastly as to want to lay a hand on someone like Victorica.

Bai Ye gently reached out and touched the top of the girl's head, using the power of warm light to slowly soothe her heart.

"Hey, Victorica, how about you sleep with me tonight?"

Seemingly afraid that Victorique might overthink things, Bai Ye added in time.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything excessive. We'll just hold hands. Holding my hand will make Victoria less scared!"

Feeling the reassuring, inexplicable power emanating from Bai Ye's palm, Victorica, with two tears still glistening in the corners of her eyes, simply shook her head a couple of times to indicate her agreement.

So, holding Victorica's little hand, the two of them lay down together on the not-so-wide wooden bed.

Perhaps because Victorica's body was too petite, Bai Ye did not feel crowded at all.

Just as Bai Ye was about to drift off to sleep, her eyelids drooping once more, Victorique, seemingly having completely regained her composure, suddenly spoke.

"Although you may already know about Bai Ye, I still want to tell you about my mother."

Startled awake by the girl's sudden words, Bai Ye turned his head helplessly and saw Victorique's still slightly flushed cheeks.

"Fine, since I can't sleep anyway, I'll just listen to what you have to say!"

Victorique pursed her lips and took out a pocket watch she had always treasured from her chest.

The pocket watch contained a photograph that was almost identical to that of Victoria. This practice of using a pocket watch to hold a photograph seemed to be a unique trend of the time.

“This is my mother, Cordelia Gallo.”

Victorique began to speak softly and gently.

“My mother was a dancer who was famous for dancing in exotic costumes.”

"Because I was born in the village of Grey Wolf, I was taken by the mysterious Duke Blois, who forcibly took me, and that's how I came to be."

"However..."

Although the girl's expression didn't change, Bai Ye could clearly feel that the girl was gripping his hand tighter and tighter.

"Duke Blois discovered that his mother had murdered the village chief in Grey Wolf Village and was subsequently exiled by her clan as a sinner of the village."

You could hear a hint of hatred in his voice.

"The Duke of Blois, who believed in using ancient and mysterious powers to fight against modern science, regretted introducing his mother, a sinner, into his family, and after possessing her, he wanted to get rid of her!"

"Fortunately, my mother escaped from that hell in the end."

With a tone of relief, it seemed as if he was relieved that his mother had not actually been killed by that scumbag.

"And so I was imprisoned in the tower from a young age, existing as a war tool they were trained to participate in the world war."

"War tools?"

After hearing Victorica's description, Bai Ye was no longer sleepy at all.

Although I already knew the plot beforehand, knowing the plot is one thing, but hearing the person involved describe it to me in person gives me a completely different feeling.

Especially that Duke of Blois, he was practically born into privilege.

He forcibly took her as his own, but later complained that she had polluted his bloodline, and even dared to use his wife Victorique as a tool of war.

Although he didn't know what Victoria's mindset was that allowed her to say those words to him today, Bai Ye was quite certain that after hearing them, he felt an unprecedented surge of anger.

At that moment, Bai Ye made a decision: he would not let Duke Blois die so easily.

"Little Saint, could you possibly find a spell to summon angels for me from the memories of the first God of the Bible?"

"We don't need living angels like those in the original story; we just need war weapons that look like angels."

Listening to Victorique's story backstage, Xiao Sheng, who was equally furious, nodded upon hearing this and instantly understood Bai Ye's thoughts.

"can!"

Unaware of Bai Ye's conversation, Victorique, who was pouring out her heart, suddenly turned her head and met Bai Ye's gaze.
