The Dean Has Arrived

Horna Branla walked quietly on the bustling streets of Brunei City alone.

This city seems to have forgotten the pain caused by the orc invasion, and is showing the vigor and vitality of a new city in its own way.

After the Church of Necessary Evil settled in, this vigor and vitality was mixed with a taste of fanatical faith.

Everyone has pious colors on their faces, and a cross pendant symbolizing necessary evil hangs on their chests.

Horna doesn't like this dangerous smell, but she has to witness that trace of fanaticism thrive.

Because she is the current Pope of the Church of Necessary Evil.

Thinking of the name she bears, even if she opened the magic barrier of 'The Quiet Inside and Outside', no one noticed her now, the girl still involuntarily tightened the diffusion robe and white cloth wrapped around her body. hood.

Who would have thought that the Pope, who is admired by thousands of people, was only the adopted daughter of a traveling businessman a month ago.

As she walked, the girl's thoughts gradually drifted away, and she returned to the past...

Probably because of her adoptive father, Horna longed for the kind of chic life floating in the entire eastern plain since she was a child. The thin back full of vicissitudes was the goal she pursued in her life. My originally fragmented family gave my younger brothers and sisters a life of food and clothing and hope for the future.

"The outside world is not peaceful. If you want to walk by my side, you must at least have the ability to protect yourself, such as becoming a magician or something."

He said it half-jokingly after his younger self had told the man what he expected.

Believing it was true, he squeezed his way into the admissions test for the nearby Magic Academy.

It is a pity that although Horna does have a certain degree of magical talent, she is still far from the standard of becoming a magician. On the contrary, she will have a very good prospect of developing into a magic swordsman.

After hearing such words from the mouth of the magician in charge of the test. His adoptive father was silent for a long time.

After that, he spent less and less time at home and more and more time away from home. The only thing that remains the same is the thinning figure and the living expenses that are delivered on time every month.

Then, one day he suddenly came home. And with a proud smile, he said that he finally paid for Horna's study fee at the magic swordsman camp.

He was always like that, desperately draining and emptying his body so that Horna and the others could receive better care and education.

It's just that one who can't do magic and has mediocre martial arts. Even the business talent is just an ordinary person at an average level. In Huorna's mind, it is more dazzling than those legendary heroes who saved the world, and it makes her look forward to it even more.

However, when Horna was promoted to the third grade with excellent grades, he finally collapsed due to overwork.

Horna, who learns how to defeat the enemy on weekdays, can't afford the high medical expenses. There are no priests or priests. I can only watch anxiously as his body deteriorates day by day.

Just when she was cornered. A strange person appeared in front of her.

"Do you want to understand the meaning of life? Do you want...to be truly alive?" He said to Horna like this: "If you want to, sign a contract with me and become a soul tool!"

"don't want."

However, Horna, who was taught not to sign strange contracts with strangers since she was a child, immediately rejected him—after all, in this magical world, there are many demons who ran from the abyss to the main material plane for various reasons. Hovering in the shadows, bewitching people to sign contracts with them in order to obtain souls.

Therefore, as long as people who have received normal education, they will hardly pay attention to this kind of persuasion from unknown sources.

"Do you want to become an all-powerful powerhouse? Do you want to make a name for yourself in the Eastern Plains?" So that strange person immediately changed another way of saying: "If you want to, sign a contract with me and become a soul tool user." Bar!"

"I reject."

The girl still said firmly.

"..."

"..."

"Okay," the strange guy looked at her in frustration for a few seconds, then put on a vigorous look, and said again: "Girl, I think you are so unique, you are unique Soul tool wizard, sign a contract with me, and the important task of saving the world will be entrusted to you!"

Horna turned around and ran.

The person who can quietly appear in front of him is definitely someone who is only at the level of a magic swordsman.

After flying all the way home, closing the door and bolting it, the girl breathed a sigh of relief, and went back to the sickbed to visit her emaciated adoptive father.

Everything that can be sold in the family has been sold at a discounted price, and even my younger brother and sister have to go out to work, so that they can barely maintain the family while paying the minimum medical expenses.

If it wasn't for her adoptive father's insistence, Horna would have dropped out of school a long time ago and joined the mercenary regiment to earn money to support her family.

Recently, her adoptive father's consciousness has become more and more blurred, and his condition has deteriorated rapidly, so she can't help but continue to hesitate.

She held her adoptive father's hand that was so thin that it seemed that only skin and bones were left, and tears could not help falling down.

"Want to cure him?"

Horna was startled by the sudden sound in her ear, and subconsciously pulled out the iron sword pinned to her waist.

Turning around, she saw that strange person just now floating in from the wall like a ghost: "Do you want to bring him back to life?" As if not aware of the girl's hostility, the person still said slowly: "Then sign a contract with me and become a soul tool envoy!"

At this moment, Horna hesitated.

"Really..." She trembled and asked in a low voice: "If I sign a contract with you, can my father really get better?"

"It's absolutely true." The other party showed a disgusting smile with a sure chance of winning: "I swear in the name of great will."

"In that case, just sign! Soul life is something else, just take it!" Throwing the sword on the ground with a bang, Horna shouted: "But if you break your promise, even if you fall into hell forever, your soul will become Fei Ash, I will curse you too!"

"That's my pleasure." The guy looked up, the grin on his face getting more and more disgusting.

The huge building with the flag of the Church of Necessary Evil that appeared in front of her interrupted Horna's memories here.

The girl who has become the pope of the church lightly stroked the face of the emerald ring on her hand: "Is the path I'm taking now really the right way... After signing the contract and becoming a soul tool, what exactly have I lost? ? Why did that guy choose me..."

"Yo, you seem troubled."

Just like that time, a voice that she will never forget suddenly sounded in her ear.

She turned around and stared in amazement at the guy with his usual nasty smile standing there with a big grin.

"Would you like me to come in and sit for a while?" Xi Wei looked at the stunned girl and said with a smile that she didn't know that she had already been marked as disgusted in the girl's heart.
