Olga Marie and Roman were speechless. Although they did not know much about the True Ancestor, conflicts between human beings and otherworldlings had been common since ancient times, and the most radical one was the Church of Holy Light. They had been trying to monopolize the mysteries of this world and make the Church the only leader. Especially in the Middle Ages, the Church of Holy Light had been particularly aggressive in their efforts to expel dissidents, and the most famous one was the Witch Hunt.
The Church and the Magic Association sometimes had conflicts, but they also cooperated with each other. There was no close relationship between the Church and Chaldea. However, Chaldea was an institution founded by Marisbilly, one of the twelve monarchs of the clock tower. It was hard to believe that it was not stored in the archives of the Church.
If they knew that the True Ancestor existed in Chaldea, the Church would inevitably send people to interfere.
There was no doubt about this, because the Church was such an organization, labeling all otherworldlings as monsters, capturing, eliminating, and then eliminating them. And it was precisely the monster-like agents of the Church who did this.
If the True Ancestor appeared in Chaldea, even the Magic Association could not stop it if the Church wanted to interfere.
In this regard, the Church had the most power.
Therefore, when Mustard Girl said that her fate with Chaldea was over, the two of them were not surprised. If she did not leave, once her identity was exposed, the consequences could be big or small … After all, after hundreds of thousands of years of development, no one knew how many otherworldlings were imprisoned in the prison of the church, and it was uncertain whether there was a true ancestor among them.
It was only at this moment that the two finally realized that they did not keep Mustard Seed's identity a secret enough. Although it happened too suddenly, they ignored this detail for a while.
When the two came back to their senses, Mustard Seed had disappeared.
The two looked at each other, and Roman said, "She left just like that?"
"Seems like …" Olga Marie nodded, but soon she stomped her foot heavily and said, "What are you waiting for? Go and bring her back! If she really left Chaldea, then everything we have done would be meaningless! "
"Okay … okay, what about you, director?"
"Of course, I will block the news!" Olga Marie said eagerly. "The identity of the mustard child must not be disclosed. Fortunately, there are not many people who know about this. Except for you and me, they are all old employees who have been in Chaldea for nearly ten years. I will tell them how to keep it a secret."
"I understand."
Roman nodded, and the two of them immediately split up.
At the same time, Wasabi Junior had already returned to his room.
Although she had to leave, she had lived in Chaldea for several years. She still had some personal belongings. Although they were not valuable, they were unforgettable memories for her. Of course, she would take these things with her when she left.
She opened the door and found that her room had not changed at all. It was as cold and cheerless as before. There was a bed, a table, a chair, a bookshelf, and a suitcase. The bookshelf was full of books. As for what books they were, Wasabi Hinakagi didn't know, because reading was not her hobby. She just used this method to avoid being disturbed.
Therefore, she had never read at least half of the books on the shelves.
"Is this still alive?" Wasabi Hinakagi walked to the bed, looked at the potted plant on the bedside table, and murmured.
Compared to books, she actually liked potted plants more. Of course, it was not because of the value of potted plants, but the plants themselves. She always thought that although this kind of plant had a short life, it could eulogize the instantaneous spring in its short life. It was the most beautiful thing in the world. It was also the way of life that she envied the most.
After a while, Wasabi Hinakagi had put the necessary things into the suitcase. Before she left, she looked back at the potted plant on the bedside table and finally gave up the plan to take it away.
Then she sighed softly and pushed the door open.
At this moment, Wasabi Hinakagi stopped because a figure was standing in front of her.
It was Roman.
"You … Have you really decided to leave?" Roman asked carefully.
Wasabi Hinakagi did not answer but just looked at him indifferently. When she was disguised as a human, although she always had an unfriendly attitude, she was generally kind to people. She rarely looked at others with such indifferent eyes. After all, she also needed a comfortable environment. If she was unhappy with the people around her, she would also be upset.
But now that her identity had been exposed, she did not need to disguise herself anymore.
However, when it came to leaving Chaldea, she did have some regrets. If she put aside the connection with the Magic Association, Chaldea was almost a place isolated from the world. She lived here for a few years, and she was looking forward to it. It was just that … She had waited for so long, but that expectation never came true. Maybe she should not have any expectations anymore. Leaving here might be a kind of relief.
Roman was a little embarrassed. He felt that it was really troublesome to deal with people like Wasabi Hinakagi. He asked her carefully and patiently, but she did not say a word. He didn't know how the former director did it. He must have promised her a very good treatment.
At this point, Roman was not going to beat around the bush. He directly said, "About your identity, it was not disclosed by the former director. In fact, we didn't know until today that you are not a human. Although we don't know why you joined Chaldea, now that Chaldea is in some trouble, the director and I hope that you can be a part of Chaldea and help."
Wasabi Hinakagi did not speak, but she did not leave directly. She seemed to have the intention to listen.
When Roman saw that there was a chance, he continued, "Do you remember Lev? The day he betrayed Chaldea, it was also the day you were injured. Forty-seven masters, including you, were seriously injured. Only Fujimaru Rika, the alternate master, was lucky enough to escape. Then she and Mashu went to the Fuyuki Singularity and met Lev again. "
"Only then did we finally know that Lev's betrayal of Chaldea was not a temporary idea, but a premeditated plan. His purpose was to destroy humanity. Now, Fujimaru Rika and Mashu have gone to the second singularity, which is the Hundred Years' War in France. There, they met a powerful enemy, if you can … "
"But I refuse!"
"Uh-"
Hearing this, Wasabi Hinakagi already knew what Roman wanted to express. She had no patience to listen anymore, and refused without hesitation. "Since you already know my identity, then I will say it directly. I hate humans, I hate everything about humans. Humans are creatures that kill each other and then die. What does the destruction of humanity have to do with me?"
"But-"
Roman seemed to want to say something more, but Mustard Seed was not going to give him a chance. He waved his hand and pushed Roman away. "I've said what I should say. You'd better find someone else to save Renli. I'm sorry I can't accompany you anymore."
After saying that, Wasabi Hinakagi walked out without looking back.
Roman was anxious and said loudly, "If you really hate humans, then why did you save the director in the first place? At that time, your team was a member of the Reishi transfer team. You should have stayed in the basket, but after the explosion, we found you outside. You are the one who saved the director! "
"That was just an accident." Wasabi Hinakagi seemed to be talking with her back. "You humans occasionally do things like feeding abandoned kittens and puppies because of some unnecessary sympathy."
So the director was on the same level as abandoned cats and dogs?
Roman burst into tears, but at this time, he was no longer in the mood to complain. Seeing that the mustard girl had made up her mind to leave and had no intention of being asked to stay, he finally gave up and shouted at her back, "Listen to me one more time, mustard girl... No, Yuji!"
Wasabi Hinakagi, who was leaving quickly, immediately stopped when she heard the last two words.
She turned around and glared at Roman. "What did you call me just now?"
Yuji? He called her Yuji just now?!
Although she was slightly surprised that her identity as the True Ancestor had been exposed, she was not too surprised, because she had learned one thing in her infinite life: the True Ancestor had a limit, and human beings were getting more and more difficult to deal with. The human beings in this era, in particular, had learned and passed on abilities from generation to generation. As long as they had the relevant knowledge in that regard, it was not difficult to discover her non-human identity.
But Yuji … Ever since the Great Qin Dynasty ended, she had completely disappeared from the history of human beings. She only appeared in human society occasionally, but she did not cause any repercussions or leave any traces in history. Logically speaking, it was impossible for Roman to know that she was Yuji. Why did he suddenly call her by that name?
Could it be …?!
Suddenly, Wasabi Hinakagi's heart palpitated. As far as she knew, there were only a few people who knew that she was Yuji.
"Where did you learn that name?" Wasabi Hinakagi asked solemnly.
Roman took a deep breath. He felt that he was quite eloquent. He had planned to persuade Wasabi Hinakagi first before he told her about Tang Hao. However, after what happened to Wasabi Hinakagi, he finally realized that his eloquence was useless in front of the True Ancestor. So, he had to resort to his final trump card.
Although he didn't think that a sentence like that would be of much use, he had no other choice now that things had come to this.
The two of them looked at each other. Under Wasabi Hinakagi's irritated gaze, Roman finally said, "We learned your identity from someone. He asked me to bring you a message …"
"What is it?"
"Although it has been two thousand years, do you still remember Tang Ritian from the Mei Village?"
