Become a powerful shadow master in the new world

Should she choose to pretend that she is unaware of Sid's kindness to her and accept Sid's help with peace of mind, or should she choose to make it clear and completely admit that she is of no use to her savior?

Isn't the answer obvious?

"Yes, I'm sorry..."

Asia held her hands tightly under the table for the first time. She had never known how difficult it was to speak.

"Mr. Sid, I'm very sorry to trouble you."

At the beginning, the work was strong, then it became weaker, and finally it was exhausted. This is the state Asia is in now.

The first time she was expelled from the church was when she was a child because she cured a demon. That time, she was able to muster up the courage to find hope to survive.

This was the second time she was taken in by a fallen angel, only to find out that the fallen angel only took her in because he had his eyes on her artifact. This time, the thought of repaying her savior made her feel that she still had things to do, just like quenching thirst by looking at a plum, which made her try hard to survive and take action.

Now, after finding Sid, she personally lifted the veil of her inner world and shut herself out of it for the third time.

Although this third time was like a flower in the mirror or a moon in the water, it was an empty shell and so fragile that it could not withstand a single blow.

In the final analysis, it was still too much free time. If Asia never found Sid, she would have been in that busy state for three months, and as time passed, she would unknowingly meet someone who could accept her along the way.

Unfortunately, there is no if. Asia has already found Sid, which gives her some free time to think about how she should repay her gratitude. Finally, she comes to the conclusion that she is of no use to Sid and will only cause trouble for him.

There is no greater sorrow than a dead heart. This is how Asia feels at this moment. The fig leaf in her heart has been torn off by herself.

Asia is a good person, and precisely because she is a good person, after knowing that her existence will only cause trouble to others, she will not shamelessly choose to stay. She will only silently accept this fact and then leave.

Sid: ?

"Wait a moment……"

Seeing Asia suddenly stand up, apologize and leave, Sid was stunned. He almost thought that he had done something to upset Asia and made her unhappy.

In the end, it was Asia's expression and temperament that made him realize something was wrong. He didn't know much about psychology, but Asia's current state looked very familiar to him. He had seen it in Alpha, who he defeated in the counterfeit money war...

In fact, he had seen this state in some of the Seven Shadows before. The main reason for using Alpha as an example was that the impression Alpha left on him at that time was too deep and too joyful.

"Mr. Sid, I've figured it out. I'm really sorry to bother you today. I know you took me in because you felt sorry for me, but I've figured it out. If I stay, it will only cause you trouble. I'd better not bother you. You're a good person, and I shouldn't bother you like this."

???

What on earth are you imagining? Why did you suddenly give me the nice guy card? Never mind, this is not important. I should first think about how to fool Asia. Fortunately, he learned the art of talking nonsense from anime.

"You are a bit arrogant, Asia."

"Mr. Sid?"

Facing Asia's doubts, Sid chuckled and shook his head.

“Who told you you were worthless, Asia?

In this life, don’t think too highly of yourself and think you have great abilities, as this is arrogance; don’t look down on yourself and think you are insignificant, as this is also arrogance.

Who are you to decide what others think of you?

How can you know how important you are in the eyes of others if you don’t ask yourself? "

Chapter 78 Asia's Past

Asia is a person with a rough life.

Born in Europe, he was abandoned by his parents the moment he was born, left at the door of a monastery, and adopted by nuns.

Because there really are gods in this world, it cannot be said that the church does not have a bit of darkness, but it is definitely on the side of humanity and represents the forces of justice.

Ignore the fact that they use force to break into the territories of other pantheons, preach, and then call themselves monotheists, and by the way, label the gods of other myths as heretics.

At the very least, influenced by the biblical God’s love for humanity, the angels under His command truly feel from the bottom of their hearts that they have the responsibility to teach and protect mankind.

In short, influenced by the angels, there may be some people in the church who have dirty and filthy desires in their hearts, but most of them are kind, especially the nuns who are certified by the church and open their own monasteries in Europe, the church's stronghold.

At the beginning, Asia was like other abandoned orphans, raised under the education of nuns.

Also, because she has been living in a monastery and raised by nuns, Asia's faith is very "devout" and she is a believer who strictly abides by the church laws.

Perhaps the girl's kind heart was noticed by the heavenly system, and when she was eight years old, a mysterious power took over her body.

After all, it was in the church's base camp. Not long after, when the girl used that power to heal an injured puppy, she was coincidentally seen by people related to the church.

The girl was taken to the church headquarters, where the church's top leaders told Asia the true identity of the mysterious power in her body that could heal others - the "Smile of the Virgin Mary", a sacred artifact with healing power created by God and given to mankind.

The church allows the girls to heal the discomfort, illness and pain of believers who come to the church for help, calling it blessing.

Word spread from one person to ten people, and from ten to a hundred, the girl's fame grew. In the end, her life was changed. She went from being an abandoned orphan who no one cared about to becoming the "saint" of the church.

At first, Asia was very happy about her changed life. She was not happy about the rights and status she had gained. The real reason why the girl was happy was that her power could be put to good use.

But as time passed, the girl gradually felt lonely.

The ugliness of human nature is everywhere. Because of their own excellence and inability to build good relationships with others, after getting the title of saint, the girls were subjected to cold violence.

They won't bully Asia, nor are they strong enough to bully Asia.

But even so, Asia felt uncomfortable. The girl didn't understand why these nuns of her age were unwilling to get close to her and be friends with her.

The reason is simple, because of jealousy.

Others were jealous of the girl's special treatment, but Asia, who was treated like a treasure by the church's top leaders, knew that even her food, clothing, housing and transportation were different from those of others.

The nuns living in the church headquarters have all gone through very hard training in their original monasteries before being selected to come to the church to compete for the title of saint, Cutesia...

They are very nice people with good personalities, but they just refuse to be friends with Asia.

Because in their view, they practiced so hard, but Asia became a saint with the help of the artifact "Smile of the Virgin Mary" given by God, which was like cheating.

It's not that they don't know that such accusations are groundless, but they are still human after all. Even if they know that their ideas are wrong, they still have some reservations when facing Asia.

It’s okay, Asia, you must not have done well enough this time. Try harder next time, and you will definitely be able to become friends with them.

Even though she was treated like this, the girl just encouraged herself in her heart and had no intention of blaming anyone else.

If things ended here, I believe the girl would be able to make friends with others through her own efforts sooner or later. Unfortunately, before that day came, the girl's life changed.

The girl healed a wounded demon that appeared beside her. Although it is a bit far-fetched that a demon appeared at the church's headquarters and left safely after being healed by the saint, it is indeed true.

The fact that the saint cured the devil was seen by people related to the church, and a nun who could cure the devil would naturally be labeled a "witch".

Although Asia was a devout believer, she was eventually expelled from the church. After several twists and turns, the girl was accepted by the "Fallen Angels", a rogue exorcist organization in the Far East.

Even though she knew that the organization that accepted her valued her healing ability and wanted to recruit her as a subordinate, Asia still felt grateful to the fallen angel. For her, who had no ability to survive at all, wandering outside was just waiting to die.

Sadly, having a home to live in only lasted for a dozen days.

It was not until she was nailed to the cross in the basement by the fallen angel who took her in that Asia was told that the fallen angel was targeting her artifact "Smile of the Virgin Mary" instead of her.

They, the fallen angels, have mastered enough technology to snatch the artifact from the hands of the artifact holder and transfer it to themselves. As for the artifact holder who loses the artifact?

Probably dying.

Asia is a kind and gentle person by nature. Even though she was betrayed twice, she had no intention of being cruel to anyone. In Asia's heart, she attributed everything she had suffered to her own fault.

During the days when she joined the evil force of "Fallen Angels", even though she had never hurt anyone, she had seen with her own eyes how her colleagues used cruel means to hurt ordinary people. She felt guilty, so she was killed by the Fallen Angels without any resistance.

Maybe it was because of the human desire to survive, maybe it was because of her devout faith, or maybe it was fate. When Asia was dying, she made what she felt was her last prayer in her heart.

“Lord, save me!”

When she was expelled from the church, her prayers were in vain; when she was displaced, her prayers were in vain; when she was taken in by the fallen angels, her prayers were in vain.

This was as it should be, since she had been abandoned by her Lord, Asia felt.

But this time, it might really be a miracle, her prayer... was answered.

"I heard."

"boom!"

A majestic and solemn voice rang out in her mind, followed by the sound of a hole being violently blasted out of the basement ceiling.

Before Asia lost consciousness, the only thing she saw was a man dressed in black, with a half mask on his face and a confident smile.

When she woke up again, her body recovered, the artifact returned, but the man disappeared.

"Go find the person who saved your life and repay her."

This was a sudden thought that came to her mind, and Asia acted on it.

And now, the man in front of her looked at her with the same smile as that night.

"Who told you that you are useless?"

Chapter 79: It’s OK, there are other ways

The young man, with a calm expression and a slight smile on his face, looked into the eyes of the beautiful blonde nun.

Because of its remote location, there were only two waiters at the front desk in the cafe, so it was very quiet.

He picked up the coffee on the table, took a sip and put it down. With his left hand supporting his cheek, Sid looked at Asia lazily, met Asia's expectant eyes and talked to her.

"I don't think you are useless, Asia. I think that as long as there is life in this world, it must have a meaning for its existence. Life will not lose its meaning because of your opinion of yourself. This is my understanding of life.

Of course, if you feel that you are not worthy, then now, I am here to formally invite you in the name of my shadow.

Asia, are you interested in being my assistant? "

"Mr. Sid..."

Asia's eyes gradually widened.

"Am I really qualified to be Mr. Sid's assistant when I am clumsy?"

Sid smiled calmly.

"Of course, to be my assistant you just need to..."

Sid's face froze.

"the world!"

The world has come to a standstill again.

In this stopped world, Sid made the move of thinking.

The powerful shadow assistant...what is he going to do?

The question echoed in Sid's mind.

To be honest, he didn't know.

He recruited Asia to be the assistant of the Shadow Master purely because he had a sudden idea and felt that he needed an assistant of the Shadow Master to be more in line with his identity as the Shadow Master. In addition, seeing that Asia was easy to fool and had a clean background, which fully met the requirements of the assistant of the Shadow Master, he started to fool her. He really didn't think about what the assistant of the Shadow Master would do.

After all, he hasn't even figured out how to become a Shadow Master, so how could he possibly figure out what a Shadow Master's assistant should do.

He, a shadow master, is really miserable. Other shadow masters all have a main storyline worth taking action on, but he doesn't. He can only wander around looking for NPCs to take side quests every day.

Okay, that’s a bit off topic. The most urgent thing now is to think about what the Shadow’s Powerful Assistant should do.

Sid, quickly use your rich experience as a shadow warrior to think of a solution, uh uh uh...

Let me think about it, Alpha and Qiying were fooled by me at the beginning, and then after they knew my true face, they asked people to compensate me for the show. This cannot be counted as experience.

Not to mention Netheril. The witches believed it, but it turned out to be a complete mess. From the terrorist organization that he had taken away in the beginning to the current kingdom of magic, he directly turned the character of "Roland Augusta", a powerful shadow man, into the character of the Emperor of Netheril.

Thinking back, the name Netheril came to him from the games he played in his previous life.

……

Now that I think about it carefully, although these two experiences of Shadow Powerful People have failed, it seems that they are not without reference value. Both Alpha and the witch have several similarities: beautiful! Smart! Rich!!!

After looking up at the still Asia, Sid immediately looked away.

It seems... maybe... possibly, Asia doesn't meet these requirements.

There is no hope of relying on Asia to make money. She is pretty, but not very smart. Her IQ may be higher than Delta's, but only to a limited extent. As for her healing ability, it is useless to him.

He glanced at Asia again.

Looking at it this way, Asia seems to be just as she said, useless and unsuitable to be the assistant of the Shadow Master, hmm...

It's decided. Let's find a way to trick Asia away. She is really useless.

"Snapped!"

Sid made the same gesture as before and snapped his fingers, and time began to flow again.

"You don't need great strength to be my assistant. You just need to stay by my side and do some small things for me, such as cleaning for me, cooking for me, taking care of my daily life, and helping me to perjure myself at critical moments. How about that, Asia? Are you confident?"

"Yes, yes, I can definitely do it, but... Mr. Hope, I know what the three things you mentioned first mean, but what does the perjury mean later?"
