Capítulo 1166: Chapter 481: The Sun and the Sunflower
“Honored Black Light Nun, please co in.”
After the gate guard finished checking the invitation in the Mute Girl’s hand, his expression beca noticeably more respectful. He bowed, then stepped aside to open the way into the mansion proper.
Hearing the na the guard announced, the nearby Adventurers all turned to look.
Obviously, during this period, this oddly styled healer had already made a certain na for herself in the city. At least Adventurers of her level had more or less heard this title.
Supposedly not interested in paynt at all, but she would tornt her patients hard before Healing them, or make them experience great Fear during the Healing process…
However, though she sounded like soone you’d Give Way Three Paces to, her reputation still leaned positive.
Because the people she chose to treat were all those deeply mired in the swamp.
Adventurers like the Spiritual ssage Catcher—once glorious, then knocked into the abyss by Curses, injuries, or all kinds of accidents—were innurable in this city.
For however many opportunities there were in the Dungeon, there were just as many dangers.
There were many bizarre Curses and injuries that even Bishop-level Priests could not directly Heal. Even if they could be handled, the cost required far exceeded what these people could bear.
In the end, the Adventurer trade was one where, no matter what you ran into, it could be chalked up to “you asked for it”; there was no institution willing to unconditionally take responsibility for them. All consequences ultimately had to be borne by themselves.
Even the Church’s insurance didn’t have an upper limit; beyond its coverage, at most it could offer palliative asures like that dagger of the Spiritual ssage Catcher—paying a price to escape the pain.
Thus, the appearance of the Black Light Nun had beco the only Redemption for those people.
Although her thods of treatnt were indeed rough, downright terrifying, and so people who had persisted in the swamp for many years ended up changing temperant completely after she cured them, deciding to retreat to so pastoral idyll…
But as her na implied, “Black Light Nun” didn’t refer to her being cold or vicious, but rather that she was like a ghostly lamp lit in boundless darkness—though not bright, still enough to bring Hope.
Even though she was only a Second-Turned Nun, to the Adventurers of her level, soone like her who was willing to haul you up in a desperate situation was far more precious than those lofty Legendary figures.
So the fact that she could produce an invitation and show up here didn’t strike anyone as out of place.
The Mute Girl also didn’t waste Magic Power saying anything more to the guard. She rely inclined her head slightly, then walked into the courtyard with graceful steps.
The Catcher followed right behind, straightening his chest and putting on a calm, unhurried air as he too walked past the guard.
Under everyone’s gaze, the Catcher’s lips moved slightly. His voice was compressed by Magic Power into a thin thread as he continued sending a Spiritual ssage:
“Big Sister, there’s one more important piece of intel…”
‘Is there anything you’re capable of saying all at once? You just had to wait until now.’
The Mute Girl shot him a speechless glance. Her voice sounded directly in his mind, making the Catcher startle slightly.
‘Don’t jump at every little thing. You still have my Magic Power inside you.’ The Mute Girl rolled her eyes.
‘If you want to say sothing, just send it through this link. It’s pretty much like a Familiar Contract.’
The Spiritual ssage Catcher gave a wry smile.
‘I’m at least your patient, aren’t I? And I only get Familiar-tier treatnt…’ But as an intel specialist, the Catcher caught on imdiately and quickly mastered the trick of sending ssages.
‘Besides, you’re the one who didn’t give any ti.’
He sounded a bit helpless.
After he finished reporting the news about the Esoteric Sect gathering, the Mute Girl had imdiately gone back to the Church to prepare the invitation, only sending him a simple order along the way to get ready to attend a banquet.
By the ti they t again, it was already to head to the banquet together.
‘If you’ve got crap to say, say it fast.’
‘Actually, I just confird this intel myself.’
The Spiritual ssage Catcher’s gaze turned to the other side.
‘Since you said you wanted to go straight into the gathering, I didn’t dare risk alerting the enemy by digging any deeper.’
The two of them had already passed through the scattered groups of people in the courtyard and entered the gilded Noble mansion.
The table was laden with all kinds of delicacies, crystal lamps hung high above, and everyone coming and going either had a crisp, capable Temperant or was finely dressed.
And tonight’s protagonist, the newly promoted adventurer noble, was right in the center of the banquet hall, surrounded by a crowd.
The Catcher looked at her, his tone sinking slightly.
‘That Knight is very likely an Otherworldly Person.’

‘Uh—’
The mont she saw that person, the Mute Girl felt as if sothing far too dazzling had flashed in her eyes. She instinctively furrowed her brows and let out a sound of disgust.

‘Yeah, she really doesn’t look like soone who belongs in this world.’
“Hahahahaha! What you just said is really interesting!”
Then, perhaps because soone beside her had said sothing, the woman’s hearty laughter exploded from the center of the hall, easily cutting across half the room and reaching the two of them, making the Mute Girl’s frown deepen.

At the center of the crowd, the Female Knight was being surrounded by everyone.
Tall and full-figured, her long orange-yellow hair, like a lion’s mane, was fluffy and flamboyant. Her eyes, the sa color as her hair, were so bright they seed about to emit light.
The Female Knight’s very presence was like the definition of an “adventurer noble,” a blend of fiery passion and Noble Charm. Just by standing there, she radiated an unparalleled power to draw people in.
Although the banquet had yet to officially begin, she had already, without suspense, beco the center of the entire event.
Only soone like her could serve as a bridge between the Kingdom and the Ancient City, a role model for Adventurers.
Just a single glance was enough to leave such a deep and positive impression.
However, for the Mute Girl, who was always swearing, full of malice toward both acquaintances and strangers alike, this type of person was obviously a terrible match for her.
‘That’s why I hesitated about whether to introduce her to you…’ the Catcher said awkwardly.
Catching his implication, the Mute Girl’s brows shot up.
‘What, you think I can’t handle that big dumb brute?’
‘How would I dare, how would I dare, you’re overthinking it.’ The Catcher denied at once.
‘Hmph… whatever. What did you just say? This one’s not only a heretic but also an Otherworldly Person?’
‘That’s right. Though I only confird it after seeing her with my own eyes.’ The Catcher gave a barely noticeable nod.
‘Before this, all I knew was that at so point in Ti, she suddenly appeared in this city, started operating as an Adventurer, and I couldn’t capture any intel about her past at all…’
As long as sothing existed, it left tracks.
The Spiritual ssage Catcher wouldn’t dare claim he could investigate everything in the world, but as it happened, the Plain Ancient City was a place where entry and exit were strictly controlled.
With the help of the city’s system, his abilities could be pushed to their limit here.
The fact that he’d pinpointed the Esoteric Sect gathering’s location in just one night was proof.
Yet after a round of digging, this newly promoted adventurer noble in front of them seed as though she had, a few years back, simply not existed in this world, only to suddenly pop into being.
Even now, seeing her in person like this, he still couldn’t capture any more information.
‘I also did so incidental investigation into the Divine Basin Church and found that in recent years, they seem to have rallied around the na of an Otherworldly Person… it’s most likely her.’
‘I see. Considering the doctrines of those Divine Basin Church bastards, that’s not exactly surprising.’ The Mute Girl narrowed her eyes as well, scrutinizing this visitor from an Otherworld.
The Divine Basin Church believed that all suffering in the world stemd from the scarcity of resources.
But since the total amount of Magic Elent was fixed, no matter how civilization developed or technology advanced, the lack of resources could never fundantally change.
So the only solution was to seek another world, one with more Magic Elent, a land flowing with milk and honey.
And that world was not in the heavens, not beyond the cosmos, but beneath people’s feet, in the depths of the earth—at the end of the Starless Dungeon.
So their choice to elevate an Otherworldly Person as their leader wasn’t hard to understand.
