My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 31: Evil Suppression Talisman

"..." Bishop Ren couldn't help but wonder what kind of secret conversation the God of Light and the holy saintess had just now.

However, he couldn't ask frankly because that was beyond rude.

"Bishop Ren, notify all the bishops, archbishops, and cardinals this noon for an emergency meeting here." Xinos's projection gave his orders after the holy saintess left the chapel.

"Obey." Bishop Ren gave a respectful bow, then left to carry out the order.

Ely and Remiel left the Holy Church with their own thoughts. Remiel's mind wandered to some rainbow and unicorn, which sparked her imagination. At the same time, Ely didn't bother to think about things too deeply.

She needed to be more knowledgeable about the mentioned experimentation. Nevertheless, she hoped her previous peaceful talk would work out without her having to get involved. Even if that didn't work, she would think about it later.

'So, he doesn't know, huh...' Ely felt a bit disappointed because the most crucial objective of her visit to the Holy Church did not produce the results she expected.

"Master~ You look sad. It concerns the God of Light?" Remiel also felt sad when he saw her master's depressed gaze.

"Does it look so obvious?" Ely patted her cheeks and moved on.

"Un, but now it's not."

"What do you think about Holy Church?"

"That's hard to say, but this place is not comfortable."

Remiel glanced left and right with her sharp predatory eyes. She could sense some unpleasant invisible stares and wanted to get out of there as soon as possible.

"Do you know why I asked you to accompany me here today?" Ely waved her hand in front of Remiel's face to attract attention.

"Master wants to kill time and play with me." Remiel answered with an innocent smile.

"Hmm, that's true, but not quite true. Let's talk about this later." Ely was amused.

A few moments later, they both came out of the Holy Church and found Lily-Mae still waiting at the same spot. Although there were a few additional people.

"Lady Miko, you have returned. We hope that your visit will leave a good impression." Lily-Mae greeted the holy saintess with relief.

"Mm, but what about everyone? Why has it suddenly become a crowd?" Ely pointed her hand at the people behind Lily-Mae. They were the people she met at last night's meeting.

"We take the liberty of sending you off. Please accept this. If you revisit the Great Yan Empire, no one will dare to give you trouble." Prince Yan Hui handed over a red Imperial Token bearing the golden dragon.

"Imperial Family's token? Thank you." Ely received the token.

"You are always welcome in the Great Yan Empire, Lady Miko." Princess Yan Fei nodded happily.

Several people then conveyed their farewell greetings because they knew the holy saintess would leave soon. So, they are trying to leave a good impression once again.

"Thank you, everyone. However, now is the time for me to go." Ely was looking for an excuse to get out of this annoying situation. It was never pleasant to be mobbed by a noisy crowd.

"If you don't mind, I will escort you out of the city or teleportation array with my flying carriage." Princess Yan Fei offered politely while pointing out her nearby luxurious flying artifact.

"..." Ely considered a few things. The so-called flying carriage was a large palanquin that could accommodate eight people at once.

She wanted to refuse, but it would be seen as impolite on her part since they had come here to see her off. "Then, we'll bother you."

With that being said, Ely and Remiel boarded the luxurious palanquin. Princess Yan Fei, Prince Yan Hui, and a new face were there, but with the addition of the academy dean, Lily-Mae, and the old gentleman.

"Lady Miko, where will you be going next?" Graham asked curiously. He was under the assumption that the holy saintess would not immediately return to her holy land.

"I will return to my sacred ground first. What happened last two days makes me want to rest." Ely looked up at the sky.

She wanted to try cultivating by absorbing more spirit stone's energy while exploring the Northern Realm. After all, it was wise to avoid being involved in a major events one after another in the Human Realm in a short time.

"I see..." Graham nodded in understanding. It was natural for an innocent girl to feel tired because of two days of terrible events. Wait, two days?

"If it's not presumptuous to ask. How do you view the church?" Ely glanced down. The Holy Church was getting further and further out of sight.

"Holy Church is a holy place with many great figures."

"One of the pillars of the Empire."

"An independent force that helps humanity prosper."

"One of the forces capable of suppressing demons with their holy power."

Everyone's answers varied, but they still couldn't understand the holy saintess' sudden question.

"Is that so? Then, I wish to as a favor to the Imperial Family. Do you want to hear it?" Ely considered several things and felt that evil should not continue blatantly running rampant in the Human Realm. Otherwise, it would be hazardous during the war with the demon armies at the border.

"Please enlighten us." Prince Yan Hui became solemn all of a sudden.

"This is the evil suppression talisman, capable of suppressing any living thing with evilness within their soul. This talisman can be used repeatedly as long as it is not damaged. However, only a maiden with pure soul desire to eliminate evil can use it." Ely placed three pieces of talisman onto the table.

"This! Is it possible for us to learn this talisman creation technique, Lady Miko?" The old taoist exclaimed in surprise.

"You can try it at your own risk, sir. You are also free to try replicating it if you can afford it. The Imperial Family will handle it, and the magic academy or any sects are welcome to get involved." Ely shook her head.

"O-oh! All right then." The old taoist nodded in understanding.

"May I know how we can use it?" Princess Yan Fei was intrigued.

"We need a pure maiden. It will glow to suppress any evil things within a twenty-meter radius. It can be used repeatedly and stay effective if the caster still has enough spiritual energy." Ely activated the evil suppression talisman, and it glowed a soft blue light.

That talisman was picky and could only be used by a virgin maiden with a pure heart without evil desire.

Lily-Mae and Princess Yan Fei tried it, but the talisman didn't react. As for Remiel, she just watched from the side.

"Am I an impure girl? Why doesn't this talisman react?" Lily-Mae was depressed.

"..." Ely didn't know why either. She thought Lily-Mae's heart and soul were pure enough to use this evil suppression talisman.

"Understand. We will cooperate with the other major forces to find three pure, holy maidens for this noble role. I, representing the Great Yan Empire, express our deepest gratitude again." Princess Yan Fei expressed her gratitude respectfully. The others also bowed as they would also be involved in this.

Ely then got off the flying palanquin once they arrived at the outer side of Lumina City. She bid her farewell with a hand wave before walking away with Remiel next to her.

*Swoosh*

The wind was blowing, and everyone's sight was clouded with dust. Yet, the holy saintess and her wolf demi-human guardian had disappeared.

"Holy saintess is indeed a saintess from the upper realm." Cao Yazhu checked the surroundings and confirmed the holy saintess had disappeared as if she had never been there. It wasn't magic or any martial technique since there wasn't any residual energy around.

"All the Guardians of Dream's members are waiting in the northern forest's secluded area, master. We are ready to carry out teleportation there." Remiel reported the situation while enjoying the wind.

They were currently above the clouds, carried by the wind spirit.

"Then, let's go there right away." Ely tapped her chin as she felt she was forgetting something, but she put it aside because she didn't think it mattered.
