Miss Witch, please don't leave your fragrance everywhere

Angelica didn't need to ask where Sister Alice was; it was daytime and she couldn't be anywhere else but the Great Hall.

There were not many monks and pilgrims in the hall. It was probably because St. Johnston was too far away from the human territory. The believers willing to come here for pilgrimage could not fill the empty hall. However, it also made it convenient for Angelica to lock on her target.

After taking a quick look around, Angelica quickly noticed a special person in the hall.

There was a girl with her back to Angelica and Anna, kneeling devoutly under the gilded statue of suffering, with her hands crossed on her chest, holding a necklace with a cross.

The girl was dressed like a nun, but her nun's clothes were not conservative. At least in the monasteries that Angelica knew, nun's clothes were not usually high-slit, let alone with garters and high heels. In addition, traditional nun's clothes were often loose, but the girl's clothes fit her graceful figure tightly. It was no exaggeration to say that her nun's clothes had the meaning of inducing others to sin, and then to come to pray out of guilt.

Angelica came to the girl and confirmed it further. Her long golden hair was as dazzling as the sun. She closed her eyes and prayed, which allowed Angelica to see her flawless and delicate face, her clever eyelashes, her straight nose, her crystal clear lips... Only one word flashed through Angelica's mind.

Angel.

A beautiful girl who looks like an angel descending from heaven.

I really want to be affectionate with her, but Anna is still by my side. But Anna won’t mind, right? I am a harem lover. Should I ask for her contact information? No, I have more important things to do——

Angelica pinched her cheeks and forced herself to calm down.

The descendant of the brave warrior of "Blade", Sister Alice, is definitely her. However, Sister Alice is praying. She is a devout believer, and interrupting her without authorization will reduce her favorability.

Angelica thought for a moment and came up with a strategy.

"It is the Passion of Saint Brassin."

Angelica deliberately spoke in a voice that Sister Alice could hear. She had not checked the script with Anna, but Anna was a smart maid and could immediately guess her master's little thoughts.

"Yes, Master, it was built five hundred years ago."

"……………………"

Sister Alice's eyelashes fluttered slightly.

Angelica continued as if she hadn't seen it.

"I remember that Saint Brasin was persecuted by the elves and died in a foreign land, so this city was built to commemorate Saint Brasin. By the way, Anna, Saint Brasin doesn't seem to be a boy?"

"The master is right. Saint Brassin is a girl."

“——That’s totally wrong!”

A pleasant voice sounded, mixed with a hint of anger.

Because the conversation between Angelica and Anna was so wrong, even to the point of being absurd, Sister Alice, who was praying, could no longer tolerate it and finally chose to step forward to stop it.

With irrefutable faith in her scarlet eyes, Sister Alice corrected Angelica and Anna's mistakes one by one.

"First of all, the suffering here is like Saint Johnston, not Saint Blasing. Saint Blasing is buried in the Rhine Federation. Secondly, the suffering is to commemorate Saint Johnston's barefoot mission to the distant Albion, which was established 150 years ago, not 500 years ago. Then, Saint Johnston was not persecuted by the elves. On the contrary, he helped many elves and was a great saint respected by the elves. The last and most important point is that both Saint Blasing and Saint Johnston are genuine men! Ah, really, coming to the holy land for pilgrimage, how can you not even understand the most basic common sense? Blasphemy!"

Sister Alice finished her rapid-fire outburst and stared at Angelica menacingly, as if she was ready to teach this disrespectful pagan a lesson.

"what are you saying?"

"Eh?"

"We were just reviewing the script."

281 Sister Alice will save everyone

Angelica explained to Sister Alice seriously.

"Those are just basic common sense. How could anyone make a mistake? We were just checking the script of the play."

"This, this is it..."

Sister Alice had not expected this at all and was a little embarrassed for a moment.

"Even if it's a play, the content of the script is too absurd and hard to accept."

“Because I’m playing a pagan.”

Sister Alice's attitude softened significantly. In this way, Angelica not only forced Sister Alice to end her long prayer, but also did not lose Sister Alice's favorability. Perhaps it could even make Sister Alice feel a little guilty. After all, it seemed that it was Sister Alice who suddenly yelled at Angelica for no reason.

"Come to think of it, you must be Sister Alice, right? I've heard of you on Fairy Island."

"I don't remember being such a famous person, but I did spread the gospel of the Lord on the Fairy Island. God is above, the lost fairies have converted to the Lord, and next I will spread the holy word on the Fairy Island."

"The elves on the Elf Island all have their own gods to believe in. I think it's better not to do useless work."

Compared to the first three descendants of heroes, Sister Alice is special. The first three are all ready to go at any time, but Alice, the descendant of the "Blade" hero, is keen on missionary work. Therefore, Angelica must first persuade Alice to prepare to conquer the God of the Underworld.

"How can you say it's useless? Persuading the lost lambs to return to the right path is what we should really do."

Sister Alice's tone was extremely firm, and she was not willing to give up her mission. It made sense, Alice's route to the Fairy Island was the same as Angelica's, that is, she took a huge risk to cross the R'lyeh Sea and reach the Fairy Island first. If Angelica was at ease with herself and knew that there would be no accidents, then what supported Alice was pure faith.

"Elves are masters of magic, and they are not as easy to talk to as goblins."

"I believe they just haven't seen the right path. If they had witnessed the true faith, they would have abandoned the false gods and returned to the arms of the Lord."

...He is indeed a fanatic.

Angelica's expression was very subtle. She actually quite liked beautiful nuns who were devout in their faith. After all, it would be boring to tease them if they were not pious. But if their faith was taken into their heads to the point of fanaticism, Angelica would feel very painful. She was not religious, so it was difficult for her to understand the other party's thinking during communication.

False God. In the fairy island of Albion, this word can never be used to describe the sun god Mithra, but Alice openly described it this way. She is obviously one of the most extreme fanatics. Not only does she completely believe in her own god, she also denounces other beliefs as heresy.

Perhaps knowing Angelica's thoughts, Sister Alice held the cross gently, but her scarlet eyes contained a calm madness.

"God has given me the ability to educate pagans? I will show God's grace to every lost lamb and guide them back to the right path."

"That's probably not a blessing from God, but a curse from Hades. Sister Alice, you are a descendant of the brave hero who inherited the "Blade". The brave hero once defeated Hades, so Hades cursed the descendants of the brave hero. When the curse appears, it means that Hades' revival is about to come..."

"The Hades is a legend that deceives children."

Alice interrupted Angelica's story in an extremely gentle tone.

"The only true god is our Lord, our Heavenly Father... other gods are fakes, and their legends are not worth believing. Gathering seven descendants of heroes to fight against false gods is simply a bedtime fairy tale for children."

Angelica was dumbfounded. She suddenly realized that the previous recruitment of the descendants of the heroes was too smooth. The "Healing" hero and the "Magic" hero were both reasonable. Even though the "Sword" hero was a weak guy, they successfully found someone qualified to replace the "Sword" hero.

But the nun in front of him with a gentle smile was a completely different type from the descendant of the hero before. She had no intention of fulfilling the responsibilities of a hero, and even did not believe that Hades really existed. She misinterpreted the curse of Hades on herself as a blessing bestowed upon her by God.

Among the seven heroes, the "Blade" hero is indeed the most special, and scholars once believed that the authenticity of his existence is questionable. If you have to say it, the "Blade" hero is more like an anti-hero, which is very different from the traditional hero, just like there is always a guy who does the dirty work in a team mission.

"It seems that you have been deeply poisoned by false gods. It is necessary to tell you the greatness of true faith. God created the world and mankind..."

While thinking, Sister Alice was about to start preaching, but Angelica hurriedly stopped her.

"Let's put that aside for now. Have you ever been to Sligo on the Fairy Island?"

"Sligo? Ah, the place that embraces many races? I spread my faith to that land, and they will live a blessed life."

"It's not tolerance. It's that the leylines of Sligo have been transformed, causing the bodies of the goblins in Sligo to transform into beasts. You left a potion there to save the travelers who accidentally entered Sligo and were affected."

"Yes, I will save everyone. Whether it's the goblins of Sligo or the strangers who are unwilling to accept change, as long as they have pure faith and drink the blessed holy water, they will be saved."

Sister Alice said with great interest that Angelica remembered that she left behind a missionary leaflet filled with eloquent words, hoping that travelers who took the medicine to remove the beast transformation would convert, and claimed that it would only be effective if they believed in the gods of humans.

"The potion you left behind seems to have quality issues."

"How could that be? It must be because my faith is not strong enough..."

"It has nothing to do with faith. I want to know what you mixed into the potion. There are some unique substances in it. That must be the reason for the side effects of the potion."

“I put my blood in it.”

Sister Alice had a pure and innocent smile on her face.

"My body has been blessed by God, so I will give my blood to the lost lambs and tell them: God loves you forever. If you take the potion I left in Sligo, then congratulations, sister, you have shut out death forever. Praise the merciful God!"

"Keep death...out...?"

"People who have taken my blood will never die. Don't you think this is a wonderful thing?"

282 Curse of Immortality

According to Angelica's knowledge, unless one reaches the realm of a Beyonder, it is absolutely impossible for one to remain immortal. However, considering that Ecclesia had undergone a theoretically impossible gender change, Angelica could not make a definite conclusion.

The only thing that is certain is that Sister Alice's face was full of happiness when she said these things, at least she was sure of that.

"Can you give me some of your blood?"

"Of course, but I need to confirm first, are you a believer in the God of Creation and Life?"

The god believed by humans, Yehudi, is considered to be the god who created the world and life. Sister Alice looked at Angelica expectantly. Angelica thought of Sister Alice's missionary work on the Fairy Island. The requirements did not seem to be strict. The fairies only verbally agreed to believe in religion in order to prevent Sister Alice from doing so. Sister Alice also regarded this as a successful missionary work.

OK, I declare that I believe in monotheism.

"Yes, I am willing to swear on my honor and life that I believe in the God of Creation and Life."

"Sisters should help each other. Although I don't know what you will do with it, since we share the same faith, I believe you will not do evil."

Sister Alice put her index finger into her mouth and bit it gently. The tip of her white finger instantly turned a dazzling red. On the surface, Sister Alice seemed a little nervous. Angelica observed carefully and found that she hid her identity very well. Her most iconic habit was smiling without showing her teeth. At first glance, she looked like a perfect lady, but in fact, she was hiding her teeth.

Angelica easily obtained Sister Alice's blood, and then made a new declaration in her heart.

I'm sorry, great God Yehudi, I don't believe in you anymore.

Angelica's religious career lasted only 20 seconds. She believed that she had not deceived Sister Alice. In those short 20 seconds, she believed seriously.

Analyzing unknown magical substances is a complicated task. Even an experienced magician needs the assistance of an alchemy table to do it. However, the witch does not need those assistances. She put Sister Alice's blood into her mouth and quickly analyzed the blood components of Sister Alice like a sophisticated analytical instrument.

It is true that the potion that Sister Alice left in Sligo was also mixed with her blood, but because it was diluted by a large amount of herbs, nothing could be analyzed. Now that Angelica has obtained the fresh and delicious blood of Sister Alice, it is natural for her to analyze the components in it.

If you taste human blood with your tongue, it often has a taste similar to rust. However, this is not the case with the blood of vampires. Their blood tastes sweet in a way that is difficult to describe in words. But in fact, the blood of vampires is highly poisonous and is a means for them to develop their followers.

Sister Alice's blood contains magical powers with special effects, which are probably derived from the curse of Hades, which transformed Sister Alice's physique.

"...So that's it."

Angelica showed an incredulous expression.

"The exchange of blood will cause your life and the other person's life to be in a state of continuity. When one of you dies, the other will also die."

"But Master, Anna remembers Master saying..."

"Yes." Angelica stared at Sister Alice, "Vampires cannot be killed by ordinary means. They even have a vague concept of their natural lifespan."

Sister Alice's smile froze for a moment. The vampires and the human church were almost natural enemies. Although Sister Alice's new faith was far more devout than many bishops in the human church, she still had to hide her identity to avoid unnecessary trouble.

"Bloodsucking is a necessary eating behavior for vampires. The curse of Hades is intended to curse your eating. Every exchange of blood will cause an invisible bond between you and the food. When one party of the bond dies, the other party will feel the pain of death, as if death has really come upon them. As a vampire, your natural lifespan is definitely longer than that of other races, so you will definitely experience countless deaths."

It would be fine if it was a natural death, but not everyone is destined to die peacefully. Once someone dies an unnatural death, Sister Alice will experience death firsthand because of the curse of Hades. It is like experiencing death countless times but unable to reach the reality of death.

"But I don't know what method you used to change the curse of Hades, causing it to undergo a subtle change. Specifically... it has become so that if one party does not die, the other party will not die either."

"..."

"Master, this seems like a good deed...?"

Seeing that Angelica's expression was particularly serious, Anna expressed her doubts. She could see that Sister Alice didn't seem to think she had done anything wrong, so she could only let her master continue talking.

"Anna, being alive and not dying are two different concepts."

Angelica said something that sounded meaningless, and this was the reason why Angelica did not understand what Sister Alice said at first. Angelica felt that Sister Alice must have made a mistake. Eternal life was the sublimation of extraordinary people, and it was impossible to grant it on a large scale in the form of the curse of Hades.

After analyzing Sister Alice's blood, Angelica realized that Sister Alice did not lie.

"The Beyonders obtain eternal youth and immortality. Without the premise of immortality, immortality alone is actually a very scary thing. It can be considered torture."

Anna was a clever maid, she had a good understanding ability, and her face turned pale instantly.

"Master, what do you mean...!"

"It's just as Anna imagined. Sister Alice, you changed the curse so that you will feel the pain of death for everyone who gets your blood. At the same time, since you are still alive, they cannot reach true death. The consciousness of those who get your blood will not dissipate after death. They can clearly feel their bodies decaying. Even if they fall into magma and not even a residue is left, they still have a fresh consciousness."

After death, consciousness cannot dissipate, and is passively imprisoned in a body that has lost its soul. It cannot speak or call, but can feel the body gradually decaying. Angelica believes that this cannot be regarded as a blessing of immortality, but is completely a torture for the dead.

After Angelica pointed out the true nature of Sister Alice's so-called blessing, Sister Alice was no longer as flustered as before when her race was exposed.

Sister Alice still had a gentle smile on her face, radiating the glory of the Virgin Mary under the stained glass in the main hall.

"Yeah—what's the problem?"

283 The Nun Is Not Abnormal

Sister Alice opened her arms in a gentle embrace.
