The young man, who had appeared out of nowhere, was probably playing the role of a preacher. He stood at the angel's feet and used a rather clumsy Rohlserlian language to lead the townsfolk in chanting a prayer. The prayer's content was something along the lines of "The sea is full of water, and the horses have four legs". It was very vulgar and low-class, and it could not even be compared to the elaborate prayers of the later generations.
Baiyi could tell that the young man was of a different race. He was not very cultured, and he had only just started his career as a quack. Unfortunately, he had a bona fide angel hovering over his head, which allowed him to intimidate the townsfolk with his clumsy methods.
However, Baiyi did notice something different about the Plain Man Quack. His body radiated a powerful surge of Divine Energy. This was not the Holy Energy of a normal quack or paladin; it was the genuine power of a true God. It was similar to the giant puppet he had encountered in Mars, which was similar to the one Baiyi had encountered in the realm of Mars.
However, the quack's aura was much weaker than the giant puppet's. It did not have the oppressive, suffocating aura it exuded. Instead, it was warm and gentle. However, there was something strange about this warm aura. Baiyi had a feeling that this power did not belong to him, and he could not control it. It was like a primitive man holding a kidney fruit phone.
"I'm going to use my psychic energy to scan the area. You'll have to maintain your disguise," Baiyi whispered into Mia's ear.
"Got it. But won't we be discovered?" Mia replied, a little worried.
"I don't think so. I'll be very careful. That little quack looks very young, and the angel is a little dumb. I don't think she'll notice, "Baiyi said confidently.
"Oh …" Mia replied hesitantly. She really wanted to tell Baiyi that Lulu was not dumb at all, and that she was actually very smart.
Baiyi's Camouflage spell shrunk even further until it only covered Mia. Baiyi, on the other hand, left the barrier and activated his stealth spell. Hovering in mid-air, he sent his psychic energy toward the Angel and the Cleric. 'Never seen a sorcerer who can turn invisible, huh? I'll let you primitive people have a taste of this cutting-edge detection method from the future!
However, as soon as Baiyi extended his psychic energy outwards, the angel, who seemed to only know how to float in the air like a decoration, suddenly reacted. It jerked its head up and looked in Baiyi's direction. Even the huckster sensed that something was amiss, so he stopped praying and looked up as well.
Fortunately, he had moved a few steps to the side before he raised his head. If not, he would probably be playing eSports in the future.
But when they looked up, they only saw the empty sky and could not find Baiyi hiding in it. So the angel tilted her head slightly and retracted her gaze. The huckster did not see anything unusual and continued to recite the prayers he made up.
Baiyi, who was still in mid-air, secretly wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. He did not expect his opponent to have such acute senses. If he had not sensed that something was amiss and retracted his psychic energy, he would have been discovered by now.
"Hmph ~ You're quite sensitive, huh? Looks like I'll have to show you a cutting-edge detection method! " Baiyi muttered under his breath as he descended from the sky and landed on the roof of one of the houses. He drew a rune on one of the tiles, but he did not infuse it with mana. Then, he leaped onto another house and repeated what he had done.
A few moments later, Baiyi had placed runes that did not contain any mana around the square. Then, he injected mana into the runes, which were as thin as a spider's web, and activated the runes with an almost imperceptible pulse. Once all the runes were activated, an extremely well-hidden detection formation was formed. This way, Baiyi would be able to see the same results even without using his psychic energy.
This was a new detection method developed by Da Xue. It was so well-hidden that even the Scholar Walker and Lady Assassin Walker, who were known for their meticulousness, would not be able to detect it. It was one of the most covert methods in existence. However, Baiyi did not have a good opportunity to use it back at Da Xue, so he did not expect it to come in handy in a place like this.
Just as Baiyi had predicted, the Detection Formation worked just as he had predicted. The mana fluctuations were so subtle that they were even lighter than the air flow in the natural world, so the angels did not notice them at all. Baiyi was pleased with himself as he patiently waited for the Detection Formation to take shape. That way, the angels' secrets would be revealed to the world.
However, things did not go as planned. When the first few runes were activated, the angel did not react, but when the fifth rune was activated, she suddenly moved. She looked at an empty roof in the distance. The huckster seemed to know what was going on, and he quickly yelled at the townspeople, "Hurry up! Something's not right. Today's prayers are over. Everyone, go back to your homes! "
The townsfolk were stunned. They did not understand why the lord would say such a thing. They wanted to hear an explanation from him, but the angel in the air did not have the patience to explain. She flapped her wings of light, and a halo of light the size of fine sand immediately spread to the surroundings. Soon, the light spots covered the entire square.
Baiyi, who was still annoyed at the failure of his carefully designed detection formation, did not have the time to avoid the floating light spots. Soon, a few light spots that were hard to see with the naked eye landed on him. The blindfolded angel immediately looked at him.
"Something's hiding there! Everyone, leave!" The huckster shouted, pointing at the empty space where Baiyi was.
When the townspeople got up and left the square, the angel lowered her altitude a little. A string of light spots appeared in her hand, and they gradually condensed into a golden longsword. The expression on her face became more serious, and she stared at Baiyi.
"Who are you? A sorcerer from the Rohlserlian Empire? "The huckster yelled at Baiyi.
"Tsk … This is … embarrassing …" Baiyi muttered under his breath as he revealed himself.
The huckster's face darkened when he saw Baiyi's sorcerer armor. It was as if he had just seen his father's murderer. However, he forced himself to calm down and said in a slightly displeased tone, "Honorable sorcerer, you've snuck up on us and set up a mysterious formation. Are you planning to make an enemy out of us?"
'Huh? Do you think I'm going to make an enemy out of you? ' Baiyi thought, amused. 'It looks like this kid has a deep grudge against Rohlserlian sorcerers. Why else would he say something like that? ' Normally, Baiyi would have turned the huckster into a paper doll. However, when he saw the angel behind him, who looked very much like Lulu, he suppressed his anger and said, "Shouldn't you explain why you've trespassed into Rohlserlian territory? Are you trying to disturb our citizens? "
"Hmph! Foolish and arrogant Rohlserlians, open your eyes wide and take a good look at the supreme being behind me! The whole world is the land of the True God, and the people are all blessed by the True God. They are not the private property of the Rohlserls, but noble believers who firmly follow the True God! "Obviously, the fraud had not died before, and he replied confidently.
"Besides, if we had not shown up in time, this place would have been ravaged by demons. It is our presence that has brought light and hope to the people here!" The huckster continued.
Baiyi was unmoved by the huckster's impassioned speech. In fact, he felt like laughing. So, he replied, "Why are you suddenly so genteel? Did you learn this from someone? "
The huckster's face darkened. He lowered his voice and warned, "Either way, if you're willing to leave, the Supreme Angel will not pursue this matter. You'd better watch yourself!"
"Is that so? Very well, I'll give you a chance as well. Surrender and tell me where you came from and what you're here for. Let me do a thorough investigation, and I'll let you live. What do you say? "Baiyi asked in return.
"How dare you!" The huckster was enraged. He rummaged through his pockets and pulled out a child's slingshot. Then, he raised the slingshot and shot a pebble at Baiyi.
Baiyi wanted to laugh, but he suddenly remembered something, so he did not retaliate. Instead, he casually caught the harmless pebble between his fingers and asked, "Your name is Yura, isn't it? A Manserlian? "
The huckster was taken aback. "How do you know my name?" Then, he said viciously, "But I'm not a Manserlian!"
"So that's how it is …" Baiyi nodded inwardly.
Most people would not do something so stupid as to pull out a slingshot and shoot a person's window in a fit of rage. However, there was one such idiot in the history books who did it out of habit. That idiot was the Church's First Apostle, Saint Yura.
According to the description of the Church, this man was the first Saint to walk the world, the first to spread light to the world and ascend. When this man walked the world, he did not carry any lethal weapons, only a naughty slingshot to defend against his enemies. His purpose was not to kill his enemies, but to enlighten and reform them, so that they would be sincerely converted. It was said that the enemies who were hit by his slingshot would give up the murderous intent and evil thoughts in their hearts and become devout believers.
