Baiyi did not have the slightest intention of collecting the angel. Although the young lady she had possessed looked even more beautiful than Lulu, with her silver hair fluttering in the wind, sitting barefoot on the bell tower, the angel was, after all, an angel!
"Didn't you say that she's the angel you met before?" The Archmage suddenly changed the topic.
"And?" Baiyi asked.
"If she could send you back to the present, then she must have a way to solve the problem of Mia's disappearance, right? If you're really sure that she's the angel you're looking for, then you might want to get in touch with her, "the Archmage suggested, which was rare for him.
The Archmage seemed to have found an excuse for his student to capture an angel.
"You have a point, and I've thought about it before, but I'm sure all of you saw how I fought her. She's not that easy to deal with," Baiyi said, a little hesitantly. "Mia isn't with us right now. I'm worried that Laeticia and the Glyph won't be enough."
"I noticed that she doesn't seem to be very hostile toward you. She seems to be wary of your identity as Nehemiah's Apostle, so I think we can use that as an excuse. You don't have to fight her," the Soul Armature Practitioner said.
"It's like a piece of paper can't hide fire. Besides, do any of you know who Nehemiah is?" Baiyi asked.
The Voidwalkers, who were well-versed in theology, shook their heads. "He's not the War God?" The Cleric Walker exclaimed.
"Judging from his reaction, I don't think so," Baiyi said. Baiyi recalled the War God's reaction to Nehemiah's name. The War God had said that he didn't know Nehemiah, as if he had just heard the name of an ordinary mortal. 'Maybe he really doesn't know, or maybe he's just pretending?'
With that thought in mind, Baiyi casually reached out his hand and caught Attie, who had just brushed past him like a gust of wind. The girl did not participate in the discussion, so she was riding a fox with the two lolis. The three little ones were riding on the back of the big fox, and they were running around the house crazily, letting out excited cries of "Woo, woo, woo!"
"How old are you to still play this kind of game?" Baiyi poked Attie's cheek and asked, "Do you know the name of your War God?"
"I don't know." Attie shook her head. "The War God never told me his name."
"Alright, go play by yourself, but don't go with the fox. Take the fox and ride Mordred." Baiyi said, gesturing for her to leave with the two lolis, who were having a good time. He did not want to interrupt their discussion.
"Emmmm, you don't have to worry too much about Nehemiah's true identity. Sometimes, knowing his name is enough to trick someone. Like you said, the angel is a simple-minded, simple-minded person. You don't need to be very good at deceiving someone like her," the Charlatan Walker chimed in. "I'll be there to help you, too. Come to think of it, I've tricked a lot of people in my life, but I've never tricked an angel. I heard that their eyes can see through everything. I wonder if they can see through my tricks? I can't wait to give it a try! "
'And if you fail, she'll tear you apart on the spot?' Baiyi thought coldly. He was not in a hurry to refute the Charlatan Walker's suggestion, so he listed it as an option for now.
After that, the Voidwalkers began to discuss how to capture the angel. Each of them expressed their own opinions and offered many constructive suggestions.
For example, Baiyi could attract the angel's attention while the Hitman Walker ambushed her from behind, stunning her with a physical attack.
Or, Baiyi could prepare a lot of novels, anime, and games for her to play, so that she would fall into depravity and become an otaku.
Alternatively, the Hitman Walker could grab the chain around her neck and become her master, turning her into a willing toy.
Alternatively, the Hitman Walker could transform into a black, slimy, octopus-like tentacle monster.
There were even people who offered to spend gold coins and mercury to recruit a Great Demon …
What was the point of such a suggestion?
Compared to capturing her, wasn't it more difficult to get close to her? The Church was currently protecting her like a secret weapon, so they could not just barge into the Holy City of Canningham to capture her, could they? Let's not talk about the degree of difficulty for now, it doesn't seem to be able to pass the moral and public opinion, right? If they did, the tabloids on the streets would be filled with headlines like 'Shocking! The Dean of the University actually abducted a young girl in broad daylight. What kind of beast was this? Take you into the women will be silent, men will be tears of the truth "this kind of title."
While the Voidwalkers expressed their opinions, trying to come up with a way for Baiyi to get close to the angel, Tisdale was the first to receive a message. She had just received a party invitation from a few nobles.
Normally, Tisdale would reject such social gatherings unless Baiyi expressed his interest. The nobles, on the other hand, had long since had their doors shut in their faces, so they were no longer in the mood to entertain themselves. The most they could do was send an invitation to Baiyi, and the invitation would be tossed into the dustbin.
However, the invitations this time were different. Each of the nobles found a reason to hold a banquet, such as the coming of age ceremony of the eldest son, the appointment ceremony of the heir, or a high-value charity auction. Every noble had a different reason, but they all happened to hold the banquet the next day. The banquet would last from morning to night, and the locations were all around the Holy City of Canningham.
To show their sincerity, the nobles did not send their butlers or servants to attend the banquets. Instead, it was either the head of the family or the First Successor himself. This was a show of respect to Baiyi, and Tisdale had to spend the entire morning attending to these guests.
Baiyi did not even need to think to know what these nobles' motives were. They were so close to the Holy City, so there must be at least five hundred executioners lying in ambush.
"So, what do you think, Teacher?" Tisdale asked through a communication spell.
"Well … No one took the opportunity to propose marriage to you, right?" Baiyi retorted.
"Eh?! Well, no … "Tisdale replied awkwardly, and there was a hint of regret in her voice.
"Hmm, that's good. I understand. Tell them I'll think about it," Baiyi replied.
After the communication was cut off, the Archmage glanced at the list of names written using mana and laughed dryly. "Sima Guang's heart is as clear as day!"
'Oh my God! Can't you just use Earth idioms when you don't know how to?!'
"Well, since the Church has already invited you into their trap, why don't we just go with the flow," the Hitman Walker added.
'Look at how cultured they are!'
Soon, word of Baiyi's decision to attend the banquet reached the Church. The Pope, who had not been able to sleep for the entire day, let out a sigh of relief. The Pope turned to the High Priest and demanded, "Do you know how much we've sacrificed to get these nobles to cooperate with us?"
The High Priest looked innocent. 'What does this have to do with me?'
"If the angels you summoned weren't so unreliable, we wouldn't have had to resort to this," the Chief Judge explained.
"Compared to that, I'm more worried that we'll fall deeper into this trap." The Archbishop of the Canningham Diocese, who was also one of the candidates to become the next Pope, spoke up. He was not much younger than the High Priest.
His words really hit the Pope's sore spot. In order to deal with the demon, the Church had spent a lot of manpower and resources to summon an angel. In the end, the angel that was summoned was unreliable. In order to make good use of the waste, the Church had no choice but to give more benefits to the nobles. If this angel that could not fly could heavily injure the demon, it would be fine. But if it could not … who knew how much effort and price it would take to quell the subsequent effects.
At the end of the day, it was all because this angel with a bright appearance was too much of a scam! She did nothing but stare blankly into space after descending into this world! Compared to a beautiful angel like this, the Pope would definitely prefer an angel with a full beard and an eight-pack.
The High Priest was the only one who spoke up for Noirciel. "You may not have met Lady Noirciel before, but she's really, really easy to get along with. She might look a little weird, but her power is undeniable. You can feel her surging Divine Energy even from here."
"Enough! What's the point of saying all this? Hurry up and prepare for the next summoning ceremony! "the Pope shouted coldly.
"You are blaspheming the Goddess!" The High Priest reminded him coldly.
"In order to eradicate evil from the world, I am willing to confess my sins. When everything is over, I will ask the Lord to punish me," the Pope said righteously.
The Great Priest shook his head helplessly and got up to leave. But before he left, he nagged, "None of you here have seen a real angel. Everything you know comes from the records in the ancient books. How do you think we should record this arrival?"
After that, he left silently, leaving the higher-ups of the Church dumbfounded. The High Priest's meaning was simple. What if the angel they summoned before, or the next one, was similar to Noirciel? What should they do?
The question was too sharp and difficult to answer, but Noirciel could.
But Noirciel could answer. The High Priest had asked her in a more tactful way before coming to the meeting. She answered patiently, "No, I am the only one who is special in the Divine Realm. My purpose for this trip is to return to the way you remember me to be."
