The elders didn't expect such an introduction so some of them were obviously surprised.
They looked at each other before returning their gaze to Vincent.
"If we want to kill you, do you think you can survive?" One of the elders asked as he tried to sound out Vincent's preparation for today.
Vincent sneered at this as he replied with confidence. "If you want to kill me, you will bear goddess Vera's wrath."
As soon as the elders heard the goddess' name, everyone was alarmed. Although they have received news from their Soothsayers and other intelligence channels, they couldn't help but size up Vincent to whether he's really Vera's blessed or not.
Since the deities they believe have been silent ever since the first Rapture, it was quite hard to believe that someone would suddenly become blessed. Although they know that some of the deities haven't perished yet, it's quite unusual for them to suddenly show a favor to someone.
