Horna. Blanla walked quietly and alone through the bustling streets of Brunei.

The city seems to have forgotten the pain caused by the orc invasion and is showing the vitality and vitality of a new city in its own way.

After the Church of Necessary Evil settled in, this vitality and vitality were mixed with the flavor of fanatical faith.

Each of them had a devotional color on his face and a cross pendant on his chest, symbolizing necessary evil.

Horner didn't like the smell of danger, but she had to witness that little bit of frenzy thrive.

Because she is the current Pope of the Church of Necessary Evil.

Thinking of the name she carried, even if she opened the magical barrier of 'Tranquility in the Table', and now no one noticed her, the girl still involuntarily tightened the diffuse robe and white hood wrapped around her.

Who would have thought that this Pope, who was admired by all people, was just the adopted daughter of a footman a month ago.

As she walked, the girl's thoughts drifted away and she returned to the past......

Probably because of her adoptive father's relationship, Horna has longed for the kind of chic life floating in the entire Eastern Plains since she was a child, and the thin back full of vicissitudes is the goal of her life, that is, the back has carried her originally broken family, giving her younger brothers and sisters a life of food and clothing and hope for the future.

"The world outside is not peaceful, if you want to walk by my side, at least have the ability to protect yourself, such as becoming a magician or something."

After the young self told the man what he expected. He said it half-jokingly.

Believing it to be true, he desperately squeezed into the admissions test of the nearby magic academy.

It's a pity that although Horna does have a certain degree of magical talent, she is still far from the standard of becoming a magician, and there will be a good prospect for developing towards a magic swordsman.

After hearing such words from the mage in charge of the test, his adoptive father was silent for a long time.

After that, he spent less and less time at home and longer and longer time away from home. The only thing that remains unchanged is the emaciated back and the living expenses that are delivered on time every month.

Then, one day, he suddenly returned home and said with a proud smile that he had finally earned enough money for Horna to study at the Demon Swordsman camp.

He's always like that. In order to be able to give Horna and their better care and education. Desperately squeezing and emptying his body.

It's just that kind of ordinary person who doesn't know magic, has mediocre martial arts, and even has an average level of business talent, in Horna's mind, is more dazzling than those legendary heroes who saved the world. It made her look forward to it even more.

However. When Horna was promoted to the third grade with honors. He finally collapsed due to his overwork.

Horna, who spends her days learning how to defeat the enemy, can neither afford the high medical bills nor hire a priest. I could only watch anxiously as his body deteriorated day by day.

Just when she was cornered, a strange person appeared in front of her.

"Want to understand the meaning of life? Want...... Is it really alive? He said to Horna, "If you want, sign a contract with me and become a soul envoy!" ”

"Don't."

However, Horna, who had been taught since he was a child not to make strange contracts with strangers, immediately rejected him - after all, in this magical world, there are many demons who have run from the abyss to the main material plane for various reasons to wander in the shadows, tricking people into signing contracts with them in order to obtain souls.

Therefore, as long as people who have received a normal education, they will hardly pay attention to such persuasion from unknown sources.

"Do you want to be the strongest? Want to make a name for yourself in the Eastern Plains? So the strange man immediately changed his words: "If you want, sign a contract with me and become a soul tool!" ”

"I refuse."

The girl still said firmly.

“……”

“……”

"Okay," the strange guy looked at her in frustration for a few seconds, then put on a refreshed look, and said again, "Girl, I see that you are a unique soul wizard, sign a contract with me, and the responsibility of saving the world will be handed over to you!" ”

Horner turned around and ran.

The person who can quietly appear in front of him is definitely a guy who can only be provoked by himself at the level of a demon swordsman.

After rushing all the way home, closing the door and inserting the latch, the girl breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the sickbed to visit her scrawny adoptive father.

Everything that can be sold at home has been sold at a discount, and even his younger brother and sister, who are still young, have gone out to work, so they can barely pay the minimum medical bills while maintaining the family's income.

If it weren't for her adoptive father's insistent request, Horna would have dropped out of school a long time ago and joined the mercenary group to earn money to support her family.

Recently, her adoptive father's consciousness has become more and more blurred, and his condition has deteriorated sharply, so she can't help but continue to hesitate.

She held her adoptive father's hand, which was so thin that it seemed that only skin and bones remained, and tears could not help but fall.

"Do you want to cure him?"

The sudden sound in her ears startled Horna, and she subconsciously pulled out the iron sword pinned to her waist.

When she turned around, she saw that the strange person just now was floating in from between the walls like a ghost: "Do you want to bring him back to life?" As if he didn't notice the girl's hostility, the man still said slowly: "Then sign a contract with me and become a soul envoy!" ”

At this moment, Horna hesitated.

"Really...... she asked in a whisper, trembling, "will I really be able to make my father better if I sign a contract with you?" ”

"Absolutely." The other party showed a nasty smile that was in his hands: "I swear in the name of the Great Will." ”

"In that case, sign it! Soul life is still something else, you just take it! Throwing the sword on the ground with a clatter, Horna shouted, "But if you break your word, even if you fall into hell forever and your soul turns to ashes, I will curse you!" ”

"That's a real pleasure for me." The guy looked up, and the smile on his face grew more and more annoying.

The huge building in front of her, with the banner of the Church of Necessary Evil, interrupted Horna's memories.

The girl, who has become the head of the church, gently stroked the ring of the emerald ring on her hand: "Am I really on the right path now...... After signing the contract and becoming a soul envoy, what did I lose? That guy chose me for what he wanted to do......"

"Yo, you seem to be very troubled."

As at that time, a voice she would never forget rang abruptly in her ears.

She turned around and watched in amazement as the guy with his usual nasty grin was standing there.

"Won't you let me in and sit down for a while?" Xiwei looked at the stunned girl, and said with a smile that she didn't know that she had been marked with a nasty mark in the girl's heart. (To be continued......)
