Chapter 845: Asking for Help



There were a total of four Priests, and their leader, a tall priest with a haughty expression, sneered as he looked Aubrey up and down.

"Ho~ What do we have here... A freshly graduated Paranormal Expert?! Hahaha!" The priest's laughter echoed through the square, drawing the attention of the townsfolk.

Aubrey's cheeks flushed with anger, but she kept her composure. "I'm here to help," she said evenly. "The mayor requested my assistance."

The priest waved a dismissive hand. "We don't need the help of an amateur. This is a job for experienced priests, not some novice playing at ghost hunting."

Vale actually found this amusing but he still stepped forward since Aubrey was already fuming in anger. She might start a fight, and that might cause more trouble in her work if she wants to stay as a Paranormal Expert.

"Aubrey is more than capable," Vale said calmly. His voice also carried an undeniable authority so the Priests had to look carefully at the man...

"We are here to assist, not to compete." Vale said.

However, after assisting Vale and seeing him quite young, the Priests believed that Vale was, at most, a young noble. That wasn't enough to scare them away.

The priest scoffed. "Assist? You'd only get in the way. Leave this to the professionals. I am Werhan a Second Class Exorcist! We will handle the matter here."

Aubrey's eyes narrowed. "If you think you can solve this on your own, be my guest. But if you fail, we'll be here to clean up your mess." She could only suggest this as these Priests seemed too stubborn.

Thanks to Vale's words, she was able to calm down and thought of a way to deal with this matter.

The priest's eyes flashed with irritation, but he nodded curtly after seeing Aubrey's appearance carefully. She was certainly looking pleasant to his eyes.

"Very well. You might as well learn how to deal with these matters... That way, you can consider quitting, and I can consider giving you a different job..."

The Mayor, sensing the tension was somehow controlled, quickly intervened. He was afraid that he wouldn't get another chance to quell their anger.

However, the Exorcists didn't give up as they proceeded to put Talismans and used various Exorcism Spells all over the town, making them truly exhausted.

Well, they didn't have a huge amount of Arcane Energy within them after all.

"For sure! We will be able to remove the Evil Spirits with all of these! Just ready the payment, Mayor!" Exorcist Werhan said as he felt confident after not feeling any signs of evil or malevolence within the town anyway.

Of course, the townsfolk also felt the warmth brought by various Holy Arts that were used and felt happy about it. After all, most of them believed in the power of the Fortune Goddess.

Unfortunately, the same issue occurred the next day! The Paranormal Activity was still continuing!

The Exorcists were already frustrated, and they could feel that Aubrey and her companion were probably laughing at them right now! He even felt that they were the ones making the Paranormal Activity at this point!

However, it was so difficult to prove since he was also keeping an eye on them!

Soon, the Mayor started looking at him... The Mayor was obviously frustrated since there was no sight of progress...

"W-we probably need a stronger exorcist... We will call for a First-Class Exorcist, Mayor!" Werhan explained.

However, the Mayor couldn't wait for that anymore since it would probably take three or more weeks to get a response from the main Church... After all, sending a First-Class Exorcist on a mission to the countryside would require plenty of documents to prove that it needs such presence, and they also need to provide money! Hiring them wasn't free!

Because of that, the Mayor told the Exorcists to ask for the assistance of the Exorcists

instead...

"Fine... Let's see how they resolve this..." Werhan said as he decided to visit the inn where the Paranormal Expert and her assistant were staying.

Soon, Werhan approached Aubrey, his arrogance replaced by frustration.

"It seems... we may need your assistance after all."
