At the Deya City Gate, under Truth’s request, Tia was returning from the Mist to the Cathedral.
Though in the eyes of passersby, High Priestess Tia looked no different from usual, inside, Tia was panicking badly.
“Lord Hermit… that Abyss Demon keeps harassing my consciousness, it seems like it still wants to say something to you…”
Tia was only a Fourth Rank priest.
Facing a Nine-Rank Original Demon, it would be a lie to say she was not afraid.
If Truth had not been protecting her, she would have long become the Abyss Demon’s puppet.
“Don’t panic, with me here it won’t dare do anything to you, just ignore it. If it gets annoying, go find the Goddess of Life to purify it.” Truth replied.
She had told Soros that if he wanted to contact her in the future, he should use Tia as the medium.
And if Tia died, then Truth would automatically join the Goddess of Life’s faction and then go blow up the entire Abyss.
Although Soros did not quite believe Truth’s words, in order to win Truth over, he had no choice but to temporarily listen to her for now.
But as it turned out, Truth had not paid it any attention since then…
Half an hour later, after a slight knock on the door, Tia walked into Truth’s room under the watchful eyes of two Saint’s Shadow Guards.
“Mm… it’s the High Priest of Deya City, no problem…”
After a careful check, the two Saint’s Shadow Guards continued to stay alert outside the Cathedral, paying no mind to why the High Priestess would come looking for the Holy Maiden.
After all, what could two priests possibly chat about?
Inside the room, Truth lay lazily on the bed looking at Tia.
The latter, after realizing that the person before her was Truth and not Lord Hermit, also relaxed a bit and sat directly on a small chair nearby.
“Lord Hermit said to have me come find you. Is there something we need to discuss together?”
Seeing Truth looking so carefree, Tia felt reassured.
She had thought Truth would be lying sickly in bed.
“Yes indeed.” Truth replied, then held up one finger.
“First thing first, Lord Hermit said to have me go study in Wangdu, and to learn about this world as quickly as possible.”
After returning to the Cathedral and lying on the bed thinking for a while, Truth had ultimately decided to go out and play on the Dea Plateau to see how the world had developed… and also to pick up a Legendary Weapon along the way.
Yes, that’s right. Truth had become somewhat obsessed with finding Legendary Weapons.
The number one thing she wanted to do now was conquer the world, and the number two thing was to successfully stab the Goddess of Life.
“Is that so?” Tia was startled by this sudden decision.
“So you’re going to follow Chief Priest Kaja to Wangdu for further study? Then what about things here in Deya City?”
“I’m leaving it all to you to manage.”
“Huh? But… but I don’t have that kind of ability!”
Tia knew very well that the reason she and Truth could become the highest authorities of Deya City was ninety percent thanks to Lord Hermit.
If Truth took Lord Hermit to Wangdu, then Tia here in Deya City would basically have no backing left. How would she suppress those nobles then?
What the nobles feared was the Ninth Saintess and the Church, not Tia…
“Relax.” However, Truth only replied lightly.
“Lord Hermit has already arranged all of this for you.”
Truth also knew that if she were not around, Tia’s deterrence in the eyes of those nobles would definitely be greatly diminished.
So Truth decided to find Tia a tool who could intimidate the entire Deya City and was also very obedient.
As for who that tool would be… Truth’s gaze went straight through the entire Mist, arriving at the Cabin Second Floor in the Core Region.
But at that moment, Truth discovered that the tool was not obediently staying in her own room.
Instead, she was on her knees, both hands also pressing against the floor, creeping stealthily and crouched in front of her own master bedroom door, sneaking around.
What was that idiot Ariel doing? Never mind, forget about that for now, she would just have her follow Tia around later.
Then there was Wilona… If Truth left Deya City, then there would be no one to play with Wilona in the Mist.
So Truth tried to see if she could bring Wilona to Wangdu as well.
So she contacted the Beast God again. According to the latter’s information, Truth learned that Wilona was a senior schoolmate of Truth and Suna’s, studying at the Royal Magic Academy.
So if she wanted Wilona to go to Wangdu as well, she could simply have Snowveil City’s Royal Magic Academy participate in the academy league over in Kingdom of Sylvia.
At that time, Wilona could naturally stay in Wangdu for two months.
As for the Mist, Truth planned to control it remotely for now.
If some special situation came up during that time, like another Ariel casting a Grand Meteor Spell, then Truth would first write that person’s name in her little notebook and settle the score with interest later.
The later Truth went to deal with the person who damaged the Mist, the more profound that person’s punishment would be!
The last ones that were harder to deal with were Tia and Little Mist.
These two, one was somewhat rebellious, the other was rebellious to the bone, so they had to be treated differently!
So Truth held up two fingers toward Tia and said.
“Second thing… Lord Hermit told me to relay this to you… that from now on, He will strip you of your identity as a Mist Follower!”
After Truth finished speaking, Tia showed no reaction.
The entire room suddenly fell silent, the only sound being the breathing and their breathing.
After quite a while, Tia finally smiled with a calm expression but a face that had already begun to twist.
“Hehe, this joke isn’t funny at all, Little Truth.”
“I’m not joking.” Truth’s mind stirred, and on the spot she extracted Tia’s Mist Devotee Blessing!
Immediately after, Tia suddenly felt something being pulled out of her body, cold and chilly.
Wait, her connection to the Mist… how did it… break?!
Yes, that’s right. From today onward, Tia was no longer a follower of the Mist.
And the reason for doing this… there was none other than a little punishment.
As the Mistveil Exalted, Truth felt that no matter how she physically punished Tia, it would be useless.
The latter would only willingly do whatever she was told, and no amount of cursing would help either.
But thankfully, this kind of Mist devotee also had a fatal weakness, which was that once they lost the Mist’s recognition…
“Tap tap tap…”
After receiving Truth’s confirmation, gradually, Tia’s legs began to tremble uncontrollably.
The floor was continuously struck with crisp sounds.
Her whole body trembled with her head lowered.
Under the cover of her golden hair, Truth could not detect what kind of expression Tia was making right now.
Oh my? She seems even more excited than I imagined…
Suddenly, without any warning, Tia lunged forward and directly straddled Truth’s body, pinning the latter down firmly.
Her enormous bosom pressed down so hard that Truth could barely breathe!
Immediately after, Tia’s trembling voice sounded by Truth’s ear, speaking urgently with a slight hoarseness.
“Give Lord Hermit back to me!”
