Chapter 112. Battlefield
[Join him if he wants you to. First of all, you're not my son. Second, the president of Ghost Hunter is not stupid. He wants you to join him because he thinks you're qualified. There's nothing to be embarrassed about. People can't escape wanting a better life.]
After replying to Abbacchio and turning off his private message, Char lay quietly on Mia's lap.
The young girl held his hand tightly.
It was probably only at this moment that Char felt that the two realities had perfectly blended.
On one hand, it was the attachment of the natives, and on the other hand, it was the concern of the players.
Although this concern was only a subtle human relationship, far less than the passion of Mia's feelings, it was the first time both of them appeared at the same time, making him feel like he was in the crack between two worlds.
It was as if he was connecting the two worlds.
The MCV was huge, so the Magic Puppet found it quickly.
Graviny and Evelyn had probably discovered the unknown flying object through the radar of the MCV. They came out to observe and saw Char being carried down from the Magic Puppet by Mia.
Evelyn was still a little awkward at first, especially when she saw Mia.
However, when she realized Char's body was limp and paralyzed, she could not hide her emotions and rushed over like a shadow.
"What's wrong with him?!"
The Dark Elf's sharp aura made Mia speechless.
"H-He..."
"I'm fine, Evie. Send me to the car," Char quickly comforted.
"Alright."
Evelyn reached out to grab Char, but Mia took a step back and stared at her warily.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
"What are you doing??"
"You can leave after dropping him off," said Evelyn, frowning. "Are you planning to stay here overnight?"
Mia opened her mouth but didn't know how to refute it.
I...
Eh?
Oh, right, why can't she spend the night here?
The young girl suddenly tilted her head and asked in confusion, "W-Why can't I stay?"
This time, it was Evelyn's turn to be dumbfounded.
"What do you mean? The chief priest of Astan City wants to stay with us two demons?"
Mia glanced at Graviny behind her when she heard the word "two."
She was shocked when she saw her. Graviny was really a demon, and her degree of demonization was much higher than that of Evelyn.
However...
Is that enough to stop her?
That was impossible!
"That's why I have to stay and protect Char!" Mia stammered. "Won't you two hurt him when he was not feeling well?"
"Hey, miss priestess of the church, this has nothing to do with me."
Having been on the battlefield for many years, how could Graviny not see what was going on? She lazily smiled and drew a clear line between herself and them, putting on an expression as if she didn't mind watching a show.
"But there's one thing you're right about. I have a grudge against this guy. If there's no one by his side tonight, I might do something to him."
Evelyn turned around and glared at Graviny as if asking her why she was there to cause trouble. Graviny shrugged and smiled charmingly but didn't say anything.
"You see! Char is in danger!"
Mia hugged him even tighter.
Evelyn took a deep breath.
No matter what, she couldn't let this busty high priest stay here overnight. Otherwise, she didn't know what would happen.
"Listen, stupid woman. You have a special identity, like a firefly in the night. If you stay here, you will attract the people of the church. Both of our identities aren't clean. If we provoke the people from the church, what would you do? How do you plan to deal with Char?"
"I, I thought of this! That's why I didn't tell anyone I was here!" Mia lifted her head and said arrogantly. She wished she could put her hands on her waist.
"Besides, we flew here and didn't leave any traces on the ground. Even if we were found, it would be your fault, not mine!"
Evelyn was so mad that she couldn't say anything. She turned to look at Char.
"Hey! Your mouth looks fine, right? Hurry up and say something! Persuade her to go back!"
"Evie, she really can't go back..." Char smiled bitterly.
"Look! Char said I can't go back!"
"Be quiet, Mia. Don't add oil to the fire."
"I'll listen to Char!"
As if she didn't hear the conversation between the two, Evelyn squinted her eyes, a dangerous signal flashing in her beautiful phoenix eyes.
"The reason? Are you going to die without this big-breasted woman tonight?"
"That's true to a certain extent, Evie. I used [Bestowment Extrication]," Char said helplessly. "You know how harmful it is to the body."
Evelyn snorted. "My blood can heal you, so..."
"Then?" Char interrupted her. "The shadow energy blocks the healing effect of the divine spell. Your blood can dissolve the shadow energy. So, am I going to lie in the MCV until I recover? You were right about one thing. The church will be here soon. Don't forget that we have a dangerous Miss Graviny with us. We have to get her out of here, or do you want to throw her out of the car?"
Evelyn glanced at Graviny, and the latter couldn't help but take half a step back.
She saw the balance in the other's eyes.
She could watch the fire from the other side, but she did not expect Char to drag her into this mess with a few words, and the Dark Elf felt it was troublesome.
But it was also interesting.
"I suggest you don't let your thoughts run wild, my queen." Graviny smiled.
She had long determined from some details of Evelyn's movements that this woman was of noble status and had received special etiquette training. She pointed out her identity with a few words.
"That guy is injured. You don't have the confidence to defeat me. If you really want to drive me away, I'll find a way to get revenge. Don't think I'm a woman who knows how to repay a favor."
Evelyn rolled her eyes and dispelled the thought.
Graviny was going to the ancient city of the sealed devil. She couldn't be judged by common sense.
Even though she was extremely unwilling, she understood that a healthy and active Char was more important than anything else.
In particular, what he had done was out of line.
He saved such a highly demonized leader from the church's encirclement, then led the church's troops to the mountaintop, asked the chief priest to send him back, and wanted her to stay overnight!
He must be crazy!
"You can send him in," Evelyn said coldly and ignored the two.
After watching the two enter the MCV, she angrily punched the outer wall of the car, making a deep dent.
"Tsk, you really look like a defeated dog..."
Graviny covered her mouth and chuckled, causing Evelyn to shoot her an unfriendly look.
"What's wrong? Did I hit a sore spot?"
"My business is none of your business."
"Alright, it has nothing to do with me."
Crossing her arms and leaning her head and shoulders against the wall, Graviny said with interest, "My queen, if I'm not wrong, you're still a virgin... right?"
"What do you mean?" asked Evelyn warily.
"Nothing, I just think it's interesting. I didn't know he was such a gentleman," Graviny laughed.
The Dark Elf was silent for a moment.
"We're not...."
"Not what?"
Graviny looked straight at her, her eyes like torches.
As if being burned by her direct gaze, Evelyn subconsciously avoided it.
"We're not what you think we are."
"I'm not thinking about anything, but you've already thought of it," the Dark Elf said with a smile. "Then, good night, my queen. I wish you a good dream tonight."
After saying that, she sashayed back into the car.
