Mia's heart skipped a beat when she saw the plushie she had made on the angel. Her first thought was that the angel had stolen Lulu's plushie, but before she could do anything, she realized that something was not right. 'Why would an angel steal my plushie?' So he calmed down and carefully looked at the angel's appearance. Surprisingly, it was somewhat similar to Lulu.
The two of them were so different that they looked like two completely different people. The angel did not have the gentle and quiet temperament that Lulu exuded. Instead, she had an air of aloofness and holiness, which made it hard for people to look her in the eye. Also, with the blindfold covering her eyes and the dazzling aura around her, Mia did not recognize the Lulu that she had been longing for.
"Lulu! Lulu! What's wrong? " Mia yelled as she prepared to dive down. However, just as she was about to do so, she felt something tugging at her ponytail. It was so painful that she screamed, "Ouch! Ow ow ow! "
Mia, who was in so much pain that she was on the verge of tears, turned her head around. She did not know when a suit of gray armor had appeared behind her, glaring at her coldly. Although she could not see the face of the armor, Mia had a rough idea of how it was feeling.
"Mr. Hope …" Mia lowered her head guiltily, not daring to meet Baiyi's eyes.
"Hmph!" Baiyi snorted coldly. "Let's take care of this first. The feather duster is ready, anyway."
Mia almost burst into tears when she heard that, but Baiyi flicked her on the back of her head and said, "Are you afraid that you won't be able to attract the attention of the people down there?"
Mia was stunned for a moment. Only then did she realize that there was a slight distortion in the air around her. This was the effect of the Camouflage spell. It turned out that no one had noticed her screaming in mid-air because Mr. Hope, who had snuck in without her noticing, had covered her up.
"Tsk, tsk. This is a little tricky. Do you know why she turned into an angel? Or why an angel turned into her? "Baiyi asked in a low voice.
Mia quickly shook her head.
"So, when you two were together, did she show any signs of abnormality? Did she have any religious beliefs? "Baiyi asked.
Mia shook her head again.
"When you two separated, did you notice anything wrong?"
Mia shook her head again.
"What's so special about her?"
"Does being super cute count?" Mia mumbled sheepishly.
"Holy sh * t, what the hell are you guys fooling around with? He couldn't possibly tell her that an ordinary girl like her had suddenly become an angel, right? If it was that easy for a living person to turn into an angel, I would have been chopped into minced meat by the angel a long time ago! "Baiyi snapped." Besides, which part of her is cute? Is she cuter than Attie or Big Sister Dale? "
"That's not the same thing …" Mia did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Baiyi sighed helplessly. His gaze landed on the kitten plushie hanging from the man's waist. "Could it be that the problem lies with this thing? Did you add anything to it? "
"No, I didn't. It's just an ordinary doll that I made myself. Even the materials are the most ordinary kind," Mia quickly replied.
"No, that's not possible. If it's just an ordinary doll, why would she hang it outside? It's like she's trying to show off her identity … Think carefully. What's so special about this doll? "Baiyi urged as he pinched Mia's cheeks, forcing her to think carefully.
"Ughhh … I'll think! Please don't pinch my cheeks …" Mia whimpered like a little animal. She was forced to think carefully under Baiyi's hands. Suddenly, she seemed to have remembered something. She struggled out of Baiyi's clutches and said, "Oh, right! I think I remember now. After the doll was made, Laeticia seemed to have cast some kind of theurgy on it …"
"Why would Laeticia cast theurgy on a doll like this? Did she have nothing better to do? " Baiyi asked curiously. "If she had that much energy, why didn't she cast two theurgy on the hammerhead shark plushie?"
"Because she was practicing high-level theurgy with Uncle Joel, and she needed to cast it multiple times to master it. So, whenever she was free, she would cast a theurgy on us. Some of it was directly cast on us, while others were cast on our personal belongings. Uncle Joel personally cast a theurgy on Sharkie, but Mia's theurgy could not keep up, so she switched it to Kitty. That was a few years ago …" Mia hurriedly recounted a story that Baiyi did not know about.
Baiyi seemed to understand something after listening to Mia's story. Theurgy, especially high-level theurgy like God's Word, might not last long when cast on a person, but when cast on an item, it could last for a long time. This was the case with the amulets sold by the Church.
Did this mean that the angel was attracted by the theurgy on the kitten plushie? If Mia had not given the plushie to Lulu, she would not have been in such a predicament. He motioned for Mia to come closer and said, "Let's take a closer look."
He took the opportunity to pull Mia into his arms. With her soft body in his arms, he lowered himself so that he could get a better look at the situation below.
Mia, who was curled up in Baiyi's arms, wiggled her body a little to find a more comfortable position. She looked down at the townspeople who were kneeling at the angel's feet and muttered under her breath, "What are they doing?"
"Praying," Baiyi whispered.
"Huh? But I've seen Mia pray before, and it didn't last that long! "Mia whispered again.
"That's because the process of worship in the modern era has been greatly shortened. According to the Church's most standard and formal liturgy, we have to pray from sunrise until noon," Baiyi replied.
"Huh? Is it really going to take that long? "Mia was a little surprised.
"Because the Church believes that the morning is the best part of the day, so it's only natural to dedicate this time to the faith. However, wasting the most precious time of the day on this is just stupid. Your Uncle Joel used to do stupid things like this when he was young," Baiyi replied.
Mia nodded and turned her attention back to Lulu, who was now an angel. "Mr. Hope, is Lulu really an angel now?" Mia asked softly. "Is Lulu really an angel?"
"If the Church members in the Void didn't lie to me, yes," Baiyi replied. "According to the Church's scriptures, they are holy and radiant. Their bodies are shrouded in light, and they spread the gospel on behalf of the gods. They are noble and unsullied, so they hover in the sky barefoot, not allowing themselves to touch the filth of the world. They are compassionate, so they close their eyes to avoid the suffering of the world. Look, the descriptions match."
There was one more thing that Baiyi did not tell Mia. The Shadow Walker had told her about the descent of angels. Usually, angels would possess the bodies of ordinary people instead of descending into the world in their true form. Therefore, this glittering thing in front of Baiyi was a bona fide angel.
"Thank goodness she still has the appearance of a beautiful girl and not a bearded, muscular, eight-pack, and hairy legs..." Baiyi muttered under his breath.
However, there were still too many strange things going on. Putting aside why the angel came to Lulu, let's just assume that she was attracted by the kitten plushie. So, why would an angel appear in this era? The Church of Divine Grace had not even been established yet. Canninus, the only church that could possibly summon an angel to descend to this world, had just been ravaged by the Emperor. How could the Church of Divine Grace be able to quell the chaos in such a short amount of time?
What's more, the world was filled with evil cults and devils. In such a filthy land, how could the Angels, who had their eyes on the top of their heads, be willing to descend to the lower realm at this time? Unfortunately, Baiyi's timing was not right, so Shadow Walker did not have the time to steal any crucial information, so he did not know when the first angel descended to this world. However, according to the history of the Rohlserlian Empire, the first angel descended to this world after the fall of the Rohlserlian Empire.
What made Baiyi's head hurt even more was the fact that he and the Emperor had come up with a plan to conquer Canninus. The plan was to take control of the Church of Divine Grace, which was still in its infancy, into the hands of the Rohlserlian Empire. This way, the Church of Divine Grace would be able to exert its influence, and it would be easier for Baiyi to control the Church of Divine Grace. Who knew that the angel would descend to this world before Baiyi could act?
Suddenly, a strange thought popped up in Baiyi's mind, and he blurted out, "Don't tell me this guy knows what I'm going to do next, and that's why he appeared out of nowhere."
Mia, who had heard Baiyi's mumbling, asked, "Eh? What do you want, Mr. Hope? "
If Baiyi was the kind of person who would post a chapter, he would have answered, "Yes!" Fortunately, he was not. Baiyi replied in a low voice, "Nothing. It's just that this week is a little strange. Something's missing."
Just as he said this, a young man in a white robe strolled out from the back of the crowd. He looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old. He looked rather young, but his steps were very mature, as if he had experienced the vicissitudes of life.
As soon as the young man appeared, the townspeople, who had been kneeling before the angel, stopped what they were doing. Instead, they prostrated themselves at the young man's feet, and they respectfully welcomed him to the center of the square, at the feet of the angel.
