"Greetings, may I know who this esteemed Lord might be?" Baron Kar asked politely
Although he has some doubts about this group of people that just suddenly appeared after a plague appeared in his territory, he was still cautious
Even the Baron himself that delved in the art of poison doesn't have the capability to heal his whole population. He would be an idiot if he thinks that these people are weak after seeing what they can do
Not to mention, Kar can't even sense the cultivation rank of these people. He can feel that they have extremely pure and powerful energies but to how many magic circles they have, he was completely clueless
"We are just humble people from the Church of Light. We heard of the people's suffering here and decided to help. We hope that the Baron won't take offense with us" the Saint answered politely
He makes people feel as if he would treat them all equally. The air of righteousness surrounding him was so powerful even Kar don't want to make trouble for them
In fact, the earlier doubts of Kar was vanishing rapidly. He was cautious at first but the longer he stayed with the Saint, the more he finds them 'kind'
Even Baron Kar's head that was full of wicked thoughts felt lighter than usual. Without him noticing him, he actually felt that these people are his savior
However, Kar still creased his forehead. Although these people make him feel good, he was still confused
Church of Light? If they are a church then that means they are worshiping a God
However, aren't Gods only recorded at legends and myths? This is the era of the 4 Great Royal Families. They are the Gods and Laws
Baron Kar never heard of the Church of Light's existence. Not to mention, they even have this kind of ability
"Church of Light... I believe this is my first time hearing this" Kar answered although there were no hidden hostility from him anymore
The Saint was not the least bit offended at all and he was still smiling amicably. "That is because our God withdraws her presence thousands of years ago. But now after seeing many people suffering, God gave us a mission to help as many people as we can"
Baron Kar has an understanding look on his face. Although the hostility he has for these people vanishes, his mind can still think to some extent
If what this man said is the real case then it means that the Church is only emerging again. However, it was still a bit hard to believe them. After all, Gods were basically non-existent in the current era
"Then I give my sincerest gratitude to all of you for helping us eradicate this plague" Baron Kar said with a bow
"No need for that. This is what we should do" the Saint answered before turning his head in a certain roof
That roof is where Reif was currently hiding. The news of a group of people entering the town and eradicating the plague naturally entered his ears
Reif already finished stealing the most valuable things in the Baron's Manor. He went here to check what's the deal with these people
He was shocked to see that there are people from the church here. Just like in this realm, Reif's former realm also don't have Gods
Although there are records about Gods, they are not seen for a long time already. Basically, even Reif doesn't know what's the deal with these Gods
In his former realm, the trend was magical organizations. They are the superpowers that normal people can't provoke
In this realm, the trend was the 4 Great Royal Families. But if there are really Gods, Reif can feel like things will change soon
This was not Reif just blindly guessing. Since he reached the peak at his former world, he naturally knows a lot of things
He has access to a lot of magical knowledge and historical records. From what Reif gathered, the were several eras that happened in his former realm
In his time, it was the magic organization. But before that, it was said that a single Empire ruled the world. Even before that, Magic Academies are the strongest. There was also the Era of Gods that was said to have people stronger than the other eras
After knowing the existence of the Overseer, Reif already has doubts. He still hasn't confirmed its existence before but he felt like someone was deliberately controlling the strings of fate
Much like how a new Era was born because of Reif. If he remained in his realm and didn't rebel, then the Era where there is only a single person that is far stronger than the magic organizations would be the trend for a long time
That means instead of a group of people controlling the world, he would be the single entity that would do that
He was the Overseer's tool to start a new era. Seems like, in this world, a new Era would be born
Because Reif had never seen Gods before, he was really curious about the church. However, he didn't expect that he would be found like this
Just like Baron Kar, Reif can't sense the cultivation rank of the Saint and his Paladins
Although he feels that they are powerful, he didn't know the extent. However, he still knows that these people are currently far stronger than he is
It would be bad if they targeted him. Because of that, Reif jumped down from the roof and vanishes
Fortunately, the Saint didn't pursue Reif and just continued healing the townsmen. In just around an hour, all the townsmen were already healed by the Saint
They were filled with gratitude towards them. They even want to let them stay and receive their hospitality but the Saint refuses
"We have a destination and along our way, we planned on helping more people. If God willed it, we will be able to see each other again" that was the Saint's parting words
He didn't aggressively recruit the townsmen in the church and only taught them how to pray and some other basic clergy things
——
With the plague gone, Reif's plan was interrupted. Fortunately, the Saint didn't stay for long
If not, Reif wouldn't know how to strike again. His hard work was gone just like that but he is not afraid. If the plague is gone then he can just recreate it!
If it was other people that will spread the plague, they would surely need a lot of money to buy poisons
However, Reif only needs his blood. He has a lot of poison energies in his body that will naturally replenish in time
In fact, due to how weak Reif's current constitution, his poison wasn't able to show its fullest potential
After all, it was a 7th circle mage that experimented with him for years! Just a single potion of that kind of person is enough to eradicate several Towns like Acre Town
It's just that, Reif's blood quality is too low. The effects of long-term starvation still haven't vanished. This is why Reif needs a lot of money. He needs to nourish his body especially his blood. If not, his poison power wouldn't be able to show their fullest might
Fortunately, after the plague was gone, the townsmen immediately want to celebrate. With that, Reif can easily poison them again
Reif hid in the crowd while sneakily using his poison against them. He only needs to wait for the next day before the plague resurfaced
However, the next day, Reif was surprised that the townsmen were still as healthy as before. The plague didn't reappear!
"How could this be?" Reif asked himself in shock. He made sure that his poison will spread into the whole town again
Even if it didn't engulf all the townsmen, it should be enough to at least poison one of them, right?
However, not even one townsman was poisoned. Things are already returning back to normal the next day as everyone was happy that the plague is gone
Some even become fanatic worshippers as they prayed and thanked God for healing them
Seeing that, Reif can already guess why his poison didn't work. It was the Saint!
Reif doesn't know how that person did it but the Saint is surely the reason why these people are still healthy
That Saint foiled Reif's plans! This makes him upset. Without the plague, Reif needs to think of another plan
If only the plague works, Reif wouldn't need to waste his precious time like this. With a sigh, Reif vanished from the crowd as he heads back to Baron Kar's Manor
He wants to investigate what that man will do after knowing that all of his treasures were gone
Reif was given another surprise today. Instead of madly searching for the thief, Baron Kar actually busied himself inside his potion room
The same order as before was given but this time, Baron Kar became more aggressive
No one can disturb him again no matter what happens!
