Chapter 1102: Chapter 537: Half Elf Nun (2)

"Hello, everyone, I am Dorothy from the Ignis Sky Realm, where the atmosphere of Wotam faith is very strong..."

When she mentioned her last name, her voice was so soft that it was inaudible, almost no one paid attention.

The relationship between Dorothy and the Campbell Family, is it the same in the Reversed World? Or perhaps...

Listening to Dorothy introduce the everyday habits and ritual behaviors under Wotam faith, Li Ang quietly speculated about her current situation.

She’s both a librarian and an assistant lecturer at the church; being financially strapped must be true, which reflects partly in her appearance.

This person was once a real slacker; I wonder if staying in the library improved her, or if it’s due to the reversal. Her explanation was initially a bit stuttered due to nervousness, but as she got into it, it became very fluent and clear, so much that Li Ang could see Sister Salima’s approval in her eyes.

She was originally a priest, which is something the Reversed World indeed reflects the reality.

Nonetheless, as Li Ang listened, he also realized that she might not need to study these things to know them—she had casually mentioned these stories during past voyages to herself and others.

As a clerk and an Ignis person, knowing these things isn’t surprising.

However, not everyone can understand this information.

Frankly, it requires the narrator to have a habit of observing life and a discerning eye, a commendable trait that Li Ang hadn’t focused much on due to his previous perception of her being unworthy.

In the reversed personality, however, this trait has been highlighted.

Li Ang felt somewhat complex inside but attended the following lessons attentively.

After class, he didn’t leave with the other students but stood before a statue, pretending to observe it while in reality scrutinizing Dorothy.

As the number of people in the hall dwindled, the half-elf gradually relaxed, even removing her headscarf; despite the church being ventilated, too many statues hindered air circulation, and the scent of incense from worshippers coupled with the material dimension projection brought by the spiritual glow of the statue raised the temperature, causing her to sweat heavily.

Her beautiful rainbow hair, messily pinned up, looked even more disheveled now. Sister Salima shook her head and stepped forward to help tidy it.

"Li Ang, do you care about that girl?" Meluna asked from the side, voice tinged with tears. As Li Ang turned, she stood behind him like a pitiful little puppy.

Li Ang smiled at her and shook his head, "I was too busy just now to say a few things. Actually, when fighting the mirror monster, it wasn’t just me—I had companions."

"Really? Where are they?"

"Because of that monster, they forgot about it. I’m thinking about how to wake them up. You said earlier you’d be willing to help, didn’t you?"

"Yes, as long as you wish, I can help." Meluna nodded seriously.

"That classmate was once my partner; I’m thinking of a way to make her remember." Li Ang pointed at Dorothy.

Meluna realized, the grievance in her eyes lessened considerably, though she still retained some of her wary expression.

"What should we do?" the black-haired girl asked.

"That’s also what I’m considering."

Li Ang had previously tried to awaken Meluna but had failed, indicating that reversing isn’t so simple.

He had also considered forcibly reversing her first using the Spiritual Forger ability, allowing the End Sword Saint a momentary return, to work from both inside and outside in trying to break the reversal imposed on her.

However, before that, the appearance of the silver mirror showed that the caster of the Reversed World would intervene in extreme situations, although its actions had been concluded by a sudden ringing sound from nowhere; given there was a second time, a third time is likely.

Moreover, he felt that the chance of success in forcibly reversing only worked well with Meluna, and was much lower for others.

Before anything else, it’s vital to understand the situation of the girls post-reversal to prevent them from harm.

As the two quietly watched Dorothy, suddenly, a figure blocked their view.

The newcomer was a girl wearing a high-tier school uniform with bright red hair, striking features, and, atop her ears, a pair of sharp horns extended from her hair and curved backward.

This person is...

Li Ang found the person somewhat familiar and opened the panel.

[Name: Leona Herian]

[Race: Unknown]

[Profession: Warrior, Tier 5. Wizard, Tier 6]

[Energy Source: Dragon Blood Heart, Tier 6]

Oh, it’s her.

Li Ang’s gaze lowered, spotting the girl’s back, where a pair of dragon wings, originally tucked away under her school robe, remained hidden, but the thick dragon tail hung behind her, having initially gone unnoticed.

This was Dorothy’s original "junior," whom she directly abandoned before setting sail with him.

Although it’s unclear what complex past they share, given Dorothy’s resolute action and subsequent silence, Li Ang found it hard to believe there was any profound bond between them.

So, she’s still in Mistrem, even after the reversal, and following the half-elf?

"May I ask if you two need something?"

The girl’s tone with dragon characteristics sounded unfriendly.

Meluna instinctively wanted to hide and not speak but made an effort to muster courage and stepped forward half a step.

"Aren’t you the one looking for us..."

Her voice grew smaller, but she managed to cause the red-haired girl across to pause.

"That’s true, but I noticed you watching that girl and thought you had some business with her. If there’s anything, you can talk to me." The red-haired girl adopted a protector’s stance.

"Who are you?" Li Ang asked.

"Leona Herian, a... friend of Senior Dorothy Campbell."

Leona hesitated when speaking, and Li Ang noticed the subtle expression quickly cross her face.

Was it longing? Aspiration? Or daydreams?

Li Ang’s gaze shifted past her towards Dorothy, coinciding with the half-elf’s gaze.

Not only did Dorothy see the unfamiliar Li Ang, she also saw Leona, who had her back turned, and the half-elf immediately stiffened upon seeing her, lowering her steps lightly and running away, sneaking through a nearby side door.

Hmm, this has become interesting.

Even in the Reversed World, she doesn’t seem to like you. Li Ang helplessly looked at the dragon maiden in front of him.

Leona had no quarrel with him, but perhaps it was limited to this Reversed World; her presence inadvertently revealed some of the difficulties Dorothy might face.

Since the life surrounding her before joining the Star Flower Travel Corps was a part that confined her, Leona must have been among them, otherwise, Dorothy wouldn’t have been so resolute.

Returning to Mistrem, with her presence here again, becoming a useful tool in the Reversed World becomes logical, rather, few are as useful as such an asset.

Because of Leona, directly approaching Dorothy wasn’t feasible; the half-elf had already disappeared somewhere, leaving Li Ang shaking his head as he pointed to the statue before him, "Rather than your senior, do you know who this deity is?"

Leona had completely ignored the nearby statue, turning her head with an expression of surprise.

Original revelations found that the statue resembled her quite a bit, possessing dragon horns and wings as human traits; her bright yellow eyes searched around, discovering the statue conveniently had a nameplate.

"It’s the Dragon God Hemita."

"Are you a follower of Him?" Li Ang continued questioning.

"Not really... Although my bloodline awakened suddenly, it’s hard to say..." Leona seemed somewhat confused now, as if she’d forgotten why she came.

The reason Li Ang chose to stand here wasn’t random; it was due to the statue exuding some inexplicable feeling, as if his spirit was resonating somehow.

During Sister Salima’s lecture, discussing excessive faith, the explanation about projection sparked Li Ang’s own feeling that religious divine spirits could be a certain will among the Ten Thousand Spirits.

The Ten Thousand Spirits could manifest important remnants left by the spirit mark, potentially clarifying incidents where gods appeared.

And what does Hemita have to do with him? Li Ang couldn’t glean anything at present.

Declining to waste more time in the church, Dorothy’s presence was a surprise and could be sought out later.

Casually bidding farewell to Leona, Li Ang and Meluna exited the church only to be met by Andasu, who seemed to have been waiting for a while.

The White Wolf’s eyes brightened upon seeing Li Ang and trotted over, "Li Ang, I can finally give you a response regarding that matter from earlier."
