War Destiny Of Future - 166 Chapter 158

“Now I shall bring you all to your designated residence for some preparation before His Grace decides to summon you all for the detail of this quest.” said the guard after did a brief checking on them.

Then he led them to the main street.

“Hey Chris, I wonder what magic you applied on those herbal teas just now, it seems like he didn’t notice that at all.” said Sky through telepath.

“That herb originally has a temporary brainwashing effect, I nulled it with my magic, but the trace of that magic herbs are still in our body, normal magic user would not be able to notice it.” said Chris through telepath.

“But we are going to meet their High Priest.” said Sky.

“Don’t worry, we will be able to handle it.” said Chris.

As they walking through the street, they noticed how disciplined the residents in the town behaved, everyone are acting so politely, no rude words, no harsh interactions, everyone just behaving so peacefully, no fight, no quarrel, just calm and peacefulness.

“Wow… This is rather disturbing.” said Sky through telepath.

“Mmm… So peaceful that it is almost lifeless.” said Chris through telepath.

The guard brought them to a building which is supposed to be a homestay, however, although it is said to be a homestay but it gives a vibe of a monastery either from outside or inside. The interior of the building is very clean while the caretakers are very polite and friendly that it gives Sky’s group goosebumps. The caretaker had arranged three rooms, Sky, Chris, and Ben in a room, Seito with Itsuki, Junior with Bob.

The rooms are big, clean, and comfortable.

“Seriously, if I am not having any grudge with the angels and there aren’t any of these weird rules, I would really fall in love in this place.” said Sky while opening the hood that covered his face and lie down on that soft and comfortable bed.

“This place is certainly very different from any other places we had visited, but still we need to be cautious.” said Chris.

“Chris is right, it’s certainly not normal for requiring people to consume some brainwashing herbs before entering the city.” said Ben

“Indeed, although I had nullified that effect but I’m not sure how long would it last, I can’t guarantee that my nullifying magic would last until the effect of the magic herb worn out… Hmm?…. Shh… Someone is coming. ” said Chris as he sensed some extra presence outside the door.

After a while, someone knocked on their door, it’s a boy in clergy outfit.

“The High Priest would want to meet three of you, I shall lead you to His Grace.” said the boy.

“Three of us? How about the others?” Sky asked.

“They shall stay here, as His Grace would only want to meet the three of you.” said the boy.

“I see, show us the way.” said Chris.

And so they followed the boy to the location of the High Priest.

After a while, they reached a cathedral.

“His Grace is waiting for you all in there, please remember to behave yourself in front of His Grace.” said the boy.

“I see, thank you for your guidance.” said Sky, in an unusual polite tone.

The boy bowed at them a bit before opened the main door, leading them into the cathedral.

“His Grace is in the back room, I cannot go in without his permission, so I will only send you until here.” said the boy.

And so, as instructed by the boy, Sky and the others entered the backroom through a side door. The high priest is sitting on an armchair, viewing the records of Sky and others that had been sent to him earlier. He has brown hair, brown eyes, and wears a pair of old fashioned specs. Yup, another important character.

As soon as they stepped into the room, Chris sensed an unusual yet familiar magic that he doesn’t like.

“Tsk… As expected. An angel.” said Chris a bit irritated.

The priest noticed the arrival of Sky and the others, he put down the letter, stood up, and greeted them.

“Hello, my name is Dominic, the High Priest of this town, I have been waiting for your arrival. Hmm?…” Dominic noticed something special about Chris.

“Sorry for the sudden question, but are you by any chance related to Lady Arianna?” Dominic asked, out of the blues.

Chris is a bit astonished to hear that name, he indeed knows about her.

“I refuse to answer that question.” said Chris after calmed himself for a bit.

“I see, my apologies for such an inconsiderate question. Now let’s talk about the quest.” said Dominic while adjusting his specs.

“Hey Ben, he copied your trademark.” Sky whispered.

“Shut up.”

——————————————————————————

The quest given by Dominic is to investigate a ‘contaminated building’ in the town. According to Dominic, most of the residents in the town including himself are unable to get near to the said building, as whenever they are trying to get into that building, they will start to feel extremely uncomfortable, probably it’s because of their special ‘clean’ bodily characteristics. Even if there were some who are able to get into that building, they will get infected by some strange black substance that rotting them alive and get killed in less than an hour. So they need help from outsiders to help them to investigate that place and remove anything that caused that building to be polluted.

“Sounds like the effect from foul aura, this could be quite troublesome.” said Sky after a short thought.

“Indeed, foul aura can be quite destructive even for high ranked espers and Immortals.” said Ben.

“We shall provide any assistance you need as we can, and the reward is negotiable.” said Dominic.

“You sound like you are confident that we are able to get that problem solved.” said Sky.

“Well, for someone who are able to nullify the effects of that magic herbs, I shall see no problem in your capability.” said Dominic with a rather friendly smile…

*Something out of the story

Sky: “Dear readers.”

Chris: “Hmm?”

Sky: “As what Chris said. Right now, this story is free on the authorized platform, so please read it from authorized platforms as mental support for the writer.”

Chris: “Mhm… There are two authorized platforms. One is webnovel.com. And another one is that messy and half-dead Weebly site that she uses for draft and backup… But not recommended.”

Sky: “Ah… Haha. Yes, as Chris said.”

Chris: “But look out, those scums might change this note to their own website link. So, be cautious.

Sky : “By the way, if the cover page is the old cover page that shows two stickmen, stop reading it, it’s cursed and might caused the writer to stop writing.”
