In the end, under Fangzheng's deliberate guidance, the matter came to a successful conclusion. The chubby man felt that he had tricked Fangzheng, the "simple and upright" young man, and was extremely pleased with himself. Fangzheng also used the chubby man's trick to distance himself from the Holy Cathedral. Everyone got what they needed, and they were all very satisfied. Therefore, every time he saw the chubby man, Fangzheng would smile. The chubby man was also quite enthusiastic, but deep down, he was probably laughing at Fangzheng, the stupid idiot, for cutting off his own way out.
But what was the saying again? Everyone had their own happiness.
Shi Dong, on the other hand, was quite angry after hearing about this. He dragged Fangzheng along, intending to demand an explanation from the Bishops. However, Fangzheng had to persuade Shi Dong in every possible way to dispel the idea.
Just as Fangzheng had expected, his fief was gone. According to the orders of the Bishops, Fangzheng had to go to the White Tower to further his studies. During this period, the fief would naturally continue to be entrusted to the Holy Cathedral. Fangzheng was already mentally prepared for this. This was considered a common tactic. It was like dangling a carrot in front of a mule, the so-called "see what happens in the future". If Fangzheng finally "repents" in the White Tower and feels that the Holy Cathedral is better, then he will naturally be able to obtain this fief again.
But if Fangzheng "refuses to repent," then the Holy Cathedral will probably find an excuse to give this fief away.
But Fangzheng had no intention of taking it anyway, so he let them do whatever they wanted.
The situation at the Order Fortress had temporarily stabilized, so there was no need for more manpower. Since it would take some time to gather spirit crystals, Fangzheng took Fina and Nimf out for a walk out of boredom.
How could he let go of such a good opportunity to go on a date with two cute girls!
Unfortunately, neither this world nor Nimf, the little angel who was summoned, seemed to know what a "date" was. But to be able to go out with Fangzheng was naturally something to be happy about. Therefore, they happily accepted Fangzheng's invitation and began to walk around the city.
The Northern Holy Cathedral was located in the capital of the Northern Alliance. This was a city built on the mountainside, and the overall style was full of the rich, wild atmosphere of the northern tribes.
However, to Fangzheng's surprise, he saw a snack unique to the north. It was a kind of snack where wild fruits were skewered with wooden sticks and then dipped in sugar water. Then, it was allowed to solidify in the cold winds before being enjoyed. It was sour and crispy, with the sweetness and a touch of coldness. It was quite enjoyable.
This instantly reminded Fangzheng of the tanghulu in his world, so he immediately bought it and enjoyed it. Of course, he didn't forget to give Nimf and Fina a skewer each, and the two of them ate to their heart's content.
"This is really delicious."
Nimf narrowed her eyes in bliss as she savored the snack. Although Nimf was still wearing her unique attire, it didn't cause too much of a commotion. This was because Fangzheng had already ordered Nimf to hide her wings. Putting aside the holy cathedral, it wouldn't be a good thing for Nimf if there were rumors about angels from the outside. In fact, up to now, few people knew that Fangzheng had an angel accompanying him. Perhaps the higher-ups of the holy cathedral knew about it, but they apparently didn't intend to intervene.
But this was fine. If these guys dared to do anything, they couldn't blame Fangzheng for falling out with them.
"Eat more if you want. Anyway, it's my treat."
Looking at Nimf, Fangzheng smiled and stroked her head. He said rather generously — — In addition to spirit crystals, there were naturally monetary rewards for this mission. It wasn't too much or too little. Five thousand gold coins was basically equivalent to Fangzheng's year-end bonus in his own world. It wouldn't be a problem for him to eat to his heart's content for a year.
Although Fangzheng said so, Nimf and Fina still felt a little embarrassed. Fangzheng had no choice but to buy a bunch of snacks from the North for Nimf. As for Fina, Fangzheng gave her a silver accessory made by a Northern craftsman as a gift. Although Fina felt a little embarrassed, she still accepted it obediently.
Although the silver accessory was more expensive, Fangzheng didn't mind because this was not only a 'date', but also a 'farewell'.
"Have you really decided to leave this place?"
Standing at the gate of the Northern Kingdom, Fangzheng gazed at the priestess before him. Sensing Fangzheng's gaze, Fina nodded embarrassedly.
"Yes, Mr. Fangzheng. My tour hasn't ended yet, so I have to continue."
That was why life was unpredictable.
Looking at the priestess before him, Fangzheng shrugged. He didn't expect that Fina would leave the holy palace before he left. Originally, Fangzheng thought that after arriving at the Northern Holy Palace, Fina would stay here. After all, the tour was only a trial and not a marathon. Take Fangzheng, for example. As a trainee guardian knight, he was supposed to "go to the countryside", but after he followed Shi Dong to take care of the Son of Chaos, he met the requirements for advancement and class advancement, so he was "officially promoted".
Because of that, in Fangzheng's opinion, Fina, the priestess, should be in a similar situation. After all, the "Hell's Gate" incident didn't cause any serious consequences, but that didn't mean it wasn't dangerous. And as one of the members who stopped the reopening of the Hell's Gate, wasn't it only natural that Fina would be promoted to an official?
But to Fangzheng's surprise, when he went to look for Fina, he was surprised to find that she was planning to pack her luggage and leave. They had fought together, so they could be considered friends. That was why Fangzheng decided to treat her to a meal and go shopping according to the customs of his hometown.
"As for you, Mr. Fangzheng … Are you really going to the White Tower?"
"Yes."
Hearing Fina's slightly worried question, Fangzheng nodded.
"I'm very interested in the mysteries of magic, and … To be honest, I'm a very lazy person. Magic seems to be able to save me a lot of trouble."
"Phew …"
Hearing this, Fina couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.
"That's not the case, Mr. Fangzheng. Learning magic is more difficult than you think. It's even more difficult than learning the divine arts. If you just have the thought of slacking off, you'll suffer."
"It's because people want to be lazy that they improve."
"Mr. Fangzheng's words are still so strange."
Fina shook her head helplessly, then looked at Nimf beside Fangzheng with a smile.
"Then, I'll be going. Sister Nimf, take care of yourself too."
In response to Fina's words, Nimf nibbled on the "tanghulu" and nodded slightly in response. Looking at Nimf, Fina smiled, then looked at Fangzheng again.
"Then, Mr. Fangzheng, I'll be leaving. I hope everything goes well for you in the White Tower. Also … It's best not to let Sister Nimf's identity be exposed. Although the White Tower is in the Order Faction, their attitude towards angels isn't as respectful as the Holy Cathedral. Some of them may have bad intentions towards Sister Nimf, so please be careful."
"Thank you for your reminder."
In fact, Fangzheng also had the same concern, but he wasn't particularly worried. After all, Nimf's ability could be said to be the nemesis of mages. She might not be able to deal with muscular Paladins, but against mages, as long as Nimf unleashed her "Invasion Domain", she would be able to deal with them easily!
Of course, he shouldn't be blindly arrogant. He still had to make the necessary preparations.
"Then, I'll be leaving."
"I wish you all the best, Miss Fina."
"You too, Mr. Fangzheng. The Goddess will bless you."
While speaking, Fina bowed respectfully, then she turned around and left. As for Fangzheng, he watched as the priestess's figure disappeared into the crowd. Not long after, she vanished.
Watching Fina leave, Fangzheng went silent for a moment. Then, he turned around and stroked Nimf's head.
