Seeing the naive village girl being frightened by Edwina’s intimidation, Violet, who was walking beside them, couldn’t help but find it amusing.
Although Edwina might think so and say so, in reality, the priestess didn’t believe that the Holy Empire could truly achieve “equality.” As long as society existed, it would be impossible to completely avoid class and wealth disparities.
Even under the pretext of the Goddess’s na, using the rhetoric of “guidance,” it couldn’t change the fact that a few people still held the majority of power and wealth. This was inevitable and beyond anyone’s control. It was just a matter of the degree of disparity.
Thinking of this, Violet turned her head to look at the Holy Knight who had just finished explaining and was taking out snow cloaks from the storage items to give to Theresa and the little dragon girl on the other side.
“By the way, Edwina, you’ve been traveling for quite a while now. Have you thought about when you’ll return ho? The issue your sister ntioned before should be sothing you need to consider by now, right? You were so determined to solve it yourself, but you can’t just drop the ball when it cos ti to face it.”
Edwina blinked slightly.
“Oh... Miss Violet, are you referring to the matters within the church that might concern ? It’s actually not a big deal. My sister said that just because she didn’t know... But now that you ntion it, considering the ti I’ve been away from the Holy Empire, which is almost three years, it’s about the ti I agreed with my teacher initially. Once things are settled here, I might have to leave temporarily for a while. It’s regrettable...”
“Is that so...”
Hearing this, the priestess nodded after a mont of contemplation.
“It’s okay, I’ll accompany you when the ti cos. After all, heading east from the Ten Thousand Demons Mountains will lead us straight to the Holy Empire, which is conveniently on the way. Miss Edwina, the second daughter of the Cecilia family, please don’t mind us being a hindrance.”
“What?! H-how could I! That’s my... No, it’s an honor for the Holy Empire! I understand your aning now. Please leave this matter to !”
“Oh? Well...”
Although a bit puzzled by Edwina’s sudden excitent, Violet was accustod to her ups and downs. Anyway, there were probably still matters to attend to on the Ten Thousand Demons Mountains side, so they could take their ti to plan their journey to the Holy Empire.
Currently, they were preparing to et an old acquaintance who had just arrived at Moon Shadow Valley. Yes, it was the 【Adaptive Mimicry Sli】 – Little Blue, whom Violet had encountered by chance outside the Demon Suppression City while tracking the footsteps of Mr. Walter and other demon generals.
However, Little Blue was no longer just an adaptive mimic sli. After absorbing the light elental crystal that Violet had given her, along with a hint of SP contained within it, this once weak and struggling sli had evolved into what could probably be considered an unprecedented Holy Light Sli, her strength vastly improved.
Apart from still lacking in combat experience and tactics, in terms of pure light attributes, she could now be considered a great demon general.
After parting ways with Violet and the others that day, she, under the guidance of the great demon generals Evan and a few others, along with a group of rescued monster girls, crossed the border and returned to the Ten Thousand Demons Mountains.
Afterward, she heard that Little Blue, along with her dear friend Lulu of the Spirit Butterfly Tribe, had been traveling around and participating in the work of sending the rescued captives back to their respective tribes.
Of course, considering that it had only been less than half a month since then, and with the recent official return of a large number of monster slaves by the Human United Kingdom, there was certainly no shortage of tasks. The reason Little Blue ca to Moon Shadow Valley at this mont was naturally because Violet had asked Chief Vanessa to send soone to inform her.
Miss Priestess didn’t enter into a contract with this sli just to have her do trivial tasks. Ever since she t Little Blue, Violet had already planned out the next steps. She had an important task to entrust to her.
The place they were heading to now was the square in front of the temple in Moon Shadow Valley. Leila and Rene probably already followed Violet’s instructions and were waiting there with the sli who had just arrived. After all, in the Moon Shadow Clan territory, without internal guidance, ordinary creatures were not allowed to enter.
From afar, Violet could see four figures amidst the swirling snow outside the temple.
Huh? Wait, why were there four of them?
“Lady Violet! Over here!”
Upon seeing the other party, Rene on the square also waved enthusiastically at Miss Priestess, seemingly excited by the snowflakes falling around, which made this winged girl from the distant Azure Sky Kingdom look a bit excited.
After all, she was still just a child...
The black-haired girl shook her head helplessly and then strode over with the three people beside her.
“Hi, it’s been a while, hasn’t it? How have you been lately?”
Little Blue didn’t seem much different from when they parted ways. Within her jelly-like pale blue body, there were faint, almost imperceptible golden lights shimring. The increasingly cold weather seed to have limited effect on her as a sli. She was only draped in a large cloak, covering her quasi-mimic body, which, though translucent, was still well-defined.
Her hair, too, was ford in the shape of a sli body, but compared to the sowhat uneven and rough appearance when they first t, it now looked much more refined and delicate. Aside from that unique texture, it almost looked indistinguishable from a real girl’s long hair.
It seed that the evolution of her body had made her mimicry much more perfect in many aspects.
“Yes, thanks to your concern, Little Blue is doing well. In fact, I’ve never felt as good as I have during this ti. It’s all thanks to your grace, Master.”
Miss Sli knelt respectfully and naturally, lowering her head as snowflakes drifted down onto her face, slowly lting and rging directly into Little Blue’s jelly-like body, appearing particularly peculiar.
“Huh, what did you just call ?”
Violet subconsciously glanced sideways at a certain dragon lady standing beside her, thinking that Xiao Guang might show so displeasure, but she still remained expressionless, with a cold face. Although she seed intimidating, this was actually her dragon’s normal state outside.
“...Master, is it wrong to address you as such after we’ve entered into such a contract and you’ve bestowed such grace upon Little Blue? Um, do you dislike this kind of servile title?”
“Well, it’s not that...”
Quietly retracting her gaze from her pet, although the dragon girl seed to show no reaction to her exclusive title, which was usually called by Xiao Guang, was said by the others. Miss Priestess considered it carefully and, for Little Blue’s safety, instructed her. It seed like Violet was pampering her dragon too much.
“Well, from now on, you can just call Violet like everyone else.”
“Huh...? Okay, I understand, Lady Violet.”
