On the other side of the Far Northwest side of the Northern Continent.

Northland of the Kingdom of Ethelland.

Sunlight shines through the dense canopy of trees, dancing with the golden dust that drifts through the air, gilding the forest with a soft sheen of the morning, and as the morning mist slowly dissipates, the city-state gradually awakens.

The royal capital of Gedaria is deeply integrated with the fairyland-like woods and lakes around it, and maintains a harmonious relationship with nature in terms of architectural style, urban planning and residents' lifestyle, which not only retains the natural characteristics, but also embodies the wisdom of modern craftsmanship.

The people of the streets began to get busy, and some messengers on huge bird mounts hurried by, their light armor glistening in the sun.

Water flows in wooden canals, weaving through every corner of the city, nourishing the land.

This mega-country is full of inclusiveness, and along the way, you can see residents with very different racial characteristics, but they will not surprise each other.

Ethelan was a federal kingdom composed of multi-ethnic autonomy, and from this point it determined that their culture was on a par with that of the Protos Empire.

Although it is not as developed as Protos in terms of magic engineering, in pure magic and martial arts, due to the existence of a deep heritage and diversity of magic literature, its own combat effectiveness is also quite strong, and it is one of the few powerful countries in the northern continent that can resist the existence of the Protos Empire head-on.

Deep in the city, on the edge of a clear lake surrounded by woods, a towering shrine stands.

A slight vibration suddenly sounded from the calm sky above the temple, followed by a low hum, and as the sound gradually amplified, a medium-sized passenger-carrying wyvern slowly descended from the sky, its wings flapping, kicking up fallen leaves and dust on the ground.

Finally, the wyvern came to a steady stop in the distance in front of the temple, and several figures jumped down from it.

The priest's robe, white and flawless, with gold streaks embroidered on the edges, led the way.

Behind him were an executioner in heavy armor and a red cloak, and a paladin in shining silver-white armor.

The three of them were obviously not inferior in status in the church, and they were greeted by the clergy who passed by as soon as they came, but they all had great respect for the figure of the last guest.

"Miss Huberian, we will take you to meet the Holy Maiden."

The priest said respectfully.

“……”

Huberian looked at the temple with a complicated expression.

At this moment, she had already taken off her disguise and changed back to her original silver-haired amber eyes.

"Well, good."

Huberian sighed and followed the three old acquaintances into the magnificent temple.

If you want to say why you stayed with him as soon as you came to the Northern Continent, you have to start with that shipwreck.

Hubertine Ann never expected that her trip to the northern continent with Ranch would be extremely wrong, and she actually drifted to the disaster zone, and had to bypass that area, and then came directly to the border of the kingdom of Ethertelan.

At first, she was suspected by the local residents of being a stowaway or spy of the Protos Empire, but fortunately she was able to escape and quickly escaped from the guards.

Then she learned about the bizarre version of the current Northern Continent, and found that people like her who had no identity could not move an inch in the kingdom of Ethelan.

So she simply went directly to the temple of the Goddess of Fate Church in the border city-state and asked to see the godhead.

The three of them are now quite famous in the Ethertelan Kingdom, and it seems that after that shadow world, they have not only been promoted to the sixth order, but also become the main force of the cult in the territory.

After the help of the priests of the border city-state church, the three close friends who heard that the spiritual master of the southern continent was coming, rushed to the border town overnight.

When they found Huberian, they invited her to the temple of the Church of Fate in the capital of Ethertelan.

In addition to helping her complete the official status of the Kingdom of Ethelan in the royal capital, it is said that there is also an order from the Holy Maiden.

The saint wanted to meet the half-demon.

"Speaking of the Holy Maiden, why do you want to see me?"

Walking in the temple, Huberian asked with some humility.

The sound of footsteps echoing in the empty hall alone made her uneasy.

She was always worried that it might be Lanchi's sins that went too far...... The Holy Maiden is going to settle accounts with her......

"Please rest assured, the Holy Maiden only heard that you are a silver-haired, amber-eyed half-demon, so she told us that please bring you to meet her."

The priest said so gently.

"That's good."

Huberian looked at the three of them now, and only felt that they had become normal again, which was the symptom of Lanch's late stage - and it seemed to be back to normal.

As long as she didn't go to help Lan Qi carry the pot, she really couldn't carry this cauldron.

I don't know what happened to the culprit of everything, Ranchi himself.

Hugh Baiann was worried all day.

The Great Love Poet also comforted her, saying that Ranchi must be fine, after all, if Ranch died, the Great Love Poet would also be wiped out.

With the Great Love Poet on her body, she can always find Lanchi, as long as she is within a certain distance, the Great Love Poet can sense Lanchi, but if Lanchi is in the territory of the Protos Empire now, she doesn't know how to blend in.

The four of them walked along the solemn space inside the temple, and from time to time, the light and shade of the sun were projected through the stained glass sky, forming patches of colorful light and shadow.

The stone pillars that surround the main hall are arched high and inlaid with elaborate reliefs, each telling an ancient story.

Finally, they came to a large door in the depths of the temple.

The stone of the gate seems to be a mixture of pure white jade and deep gray stone, and even though you haven't stepped inside, you can feel the cool smell inside.

The priest guarding the doorway saluted the three clergy and Huberian before knocking on the stone door.

"Holy Maiden, Miss Huberian has arrived."

"Please come in."

Floating out of the door was a soft voice that seemed to have frost.

Hubertian quickly said goodbye to the three priests and pushed open the rather heavy door.

The vast hall, several meters high, resembles an elaborate private library, with church texts on all four walls.

On the sofa in the meeting area in the center, a woman with white hair and silver eyes was sitting.

Her face was as flawless as a sculpture, her posture as elegant as an elf in the moonlight, and only her breath proved that she was not a perfect work of art, but a living being.

What surprised Huberian the most was that she didn't have any disguise on her, even though some people might not be sure about the race of this holy woman, but Huberian could see it at a glance-

The saint is also a half-demon, she has no horns on her head, and the only demon feature is the slightly pointed horns of her ears.

It's just that Huberian has never seen such a beautiful demon, and she is as pure as a snow elf rather than a demon.

"Many years ago, when I was not a saint of the Goddess of Destiny Church, people called me the Ice Witch, and I used to be a great demon."

As if she saw Hubertian's doubts, she said lightly.

Although the gaze of this holy woman was full of pride and indifference, as if it was about to push everyone away from thousands of miles away, there was also a deep softness hidden in it, which made Hubertian put her mind at ease for the time being.

"Holy Maiden, is there anything you are looking for me?"

Hubertian asked straight to the point, as long as she didn't have anything to do with Ranchi.

"Before that, I have a question."

The Ice Witch looked at Huberian,

"What's your relationship with Evadia, or Talya?"
