BXBX NOVEL Chapter 34 The Church
Baron Arash\'s fief, Migotanie City.
"Nothing much has changed in the past few years," Max commented, looking at that same old city structure and the building he saw the last time.
"Yes." Ravenna nodded her head, agreeing with him. She had been coming to this city for all these years and saw everything that occurred; for her, it was very clear what changed and what didn\'t.
"I hope the churches are also here." Max walked toward the church\'s direction, which was close to him.
After three minutes of short walk, they arrived at a giant white stone church that covered a small portion of the city. The church had brown borders with green patterns on it. On top of the church was a mural of a woman who had leaves spreading out of her arms and looked like she was about to embrace the world.
Max couldn\'t identify how the woman would look, but from the hourglass figure and the depiction of her face, she was a beauty, which Max knew for sure.
Max and Ravenna were hiding behind a dark alleyway, silently watching the stream of people entering and exiting the church.
"So many people are here as usual, and the number of kids seems to have increased in this city. Look, there are so many of them." Ravenna said it with awe, standing beside Max.
Max watched silently, then commented. "Yes, there are too many kids. At first, I didn\'t notice this because of my worry about something else. But now that I\'ve given it a careful look, I find it odd. Don\'t you too, Ravenna?"
"What is odd?" It seems Ravenna also had zero clue.
So, Max calmly told her what he had in his mind."Look carefully, and you will see every adult has at least one kid with them, and some even have four. Most of them seem to be teaching and warning something to the kids, as those kids\' faces are serious and nervous like they are about to go on a very arduous test."
Now that Max has mentioned it, Ravenna was able to see just as Max has described.
Ravenna became eager to check in as to what the church was hiding but calmed her heart down after remembering their origin. "Max, how will we find out what is happening inside?"
Max glanced at the guards wearing white armor with brown and green patterns all of them. They were wearing helmets that covered their entire faces, making them look very intimidating, and from the aura, they were emanating, they were also strong to back it up.
[ Paladin Guard (2nd Stage Fleshcrafting Realm): Paladins that guard the church. ]
\'That was a boring description.\' Max sighed in his heart, then looked at the men who were wearing white robes with green and brown patterns like those on the paladin guards\' armors.
[ Acolyte (4th Stage Novice Realm): Young trainees who are trying to become priests. They are learning various techniques and the teachings of the church. They are knowledgeable about various aspects of their church and the god they worship. ]
"We found our target." Max signaled for Ravenna to follow him.
They walked away from the church\'s direction; instead followed behind a boy and a girl. The girl was wearing a nun\'s outfit with the same design as the boy\'s robe.
"I heard it was your first day at the church, so how was it?" The boy asked with a smile.
The girl replied back with a kind smile. "It was fine, I was able to learn many things, and the priest seems to be very happy with my work, I got so many praises from him."
"Oh," The boy didn\'t say anything, just gave a quick glance at her figure, which he has given many times already.
The almost hourglass-like figure and the buttocks that swayed left and right, catching any man\'s attention, and the baby-like face, full of innocence with a mature beauty, made the boy sigh in wonder. \'I know why the priest is very happy with your work.\'
The boy turned his head toward the girl, hesitating to say something but eventually stopping. He just gave her a look of pity.
At that moment, the girl spoke. "We have to go on a different path now. My home is that way."
"Oh, is that so? Mine is in the complete opposite." The boy said apologetically, rubbing the back of his head.
"Oh, unfortunate." The girl gave a small pout and then walked away while waving her hand. "Will see you tomorrow then."
The boy also waved his hand back and then headed toward his house\'s direction.
His house was on the northern side of the city, where most of the citizens lived. The boy lived in a rental apartment, all by himself. His room was situated on the bottom floor, so he didn\'t have to make the effort to climb stairs.
The boy had entered his room and was about to close the door when suddenly he felt an obstruction. He turned his body to see what he had gotten stuck in.
However, just as he turned his head, a giant palm attacked his sight and then blocked off his mouth.
Thud
The boy got slammed into the wooden wall and then raised up in the air. He wasn\'t able to see clearly what happened or who the culprit was because he was taken by surprise, but now his view was clear and he was out of his shock state.
The boy looked down just to feel his soul leave his body. A pair of demons, consisting of a male and a female, were glaring at him.
The male one was holding his mouth, and the female one had just closed the door.
"MHMM!" The boy was about to use a spell but felt a cold sensation on his chest. He moved his eyes down and saw a dark sword as the obsidian was placed on his chest, and it was slowly pushing into his chest.
The male demon softly whispered with deadpan eyes. "Hey, little kid. I just want to ask a few questions, so don\'t make too much noise or I might send you to your god."
