Opening a fantasy anime world with the style of Mount & Blade

Page 34

He couldn't help but glance back and saw that the witch, who had been sleeping peacefully in bed, was now awake, wearing a charming smile, and casting a spell with her hand.

Liu Tianyu wanted to say something, but found that he couldn't speak at all. Moreover, his body seemed to have been put on pause, unable to move, only his head could move.

Liu Tianyu quickly opened his mouth and began lip-reading, his head full of question marks:

"...(What do you want to do?)"

"I feel like this is cuter!"

The witch gently lifted the covers and got off the bed. Her slender feet, encased in purple stockings, did not step into the black high heels, but instead trod on the hard, cold floor. She slowly walked to Liu Tianyu's side and whispered.

After she finished speaking, she reached out a delicate hand and gently stroked Liu Tianyu's face.

Her golden eyes still had dark circles around them, but they looked much better; after all, the seductive look of a wicked woman had returned.

"...(What do you want to do?)"

Liu Tianyu was slightly startled, wondering what this woman was up to. But for some reason, the thought of Lucy right outside the door gave him a strange feeling.

"The one outside must be your lover, right? After having a lover, you still come to seduce me. You're truly wicked!"

The witch's eyes suddenly shifted from alluring to dangerous, and her jade-like hand, which had been touching Liu Tianyu's face, began to grope downwards.

"...(Holy crap, holy crap!)"

Liu Tianyu's eyes widened suddenly, and his heart nearly jumped out of his throat.

"Excuse me, Master. It seems your meeting with the witch is going quite smoothly! I wonder if I have disturbed your meeting, Master?"

The door was suddenly opened, and Lucy gave a strange smile as she looked at the two people who were practically glued together.

"Ah! No, no! Lucy, let me explain! It's the witch... uh, how can I speak?"

Seeing the smile on Lucy's face, Liu Tianyu felt that his good days were over. He quickly stood up, wanting to explain, but after a while, he realized that the magic on his body seemed to have been dispelled!

"You should have a proper talk with the witch! I'm just a maid, it's not appropriate for me to disturb your important meeting!"

Just don't forget lunch at Stormwind Keep later!

After Lucy finished speaking expressionlessly, she respectfully curtsied and left without looking back.

"Damn it! You've really ruined me!"

Liu Tianyu glared at the witch before rushing out the door to chase after Lucy.

Damn it, if he had actually done something with the witch, that would be one thing, but the problem is, nothing happened between them at all; what just happened was purely the witch's doing!

"He is badly injured, and there are no priests in the nearby cities who can heal him. Therefore, we need to go to the Water City to seek help from the High Temple."

In the Lord's Hall, through the Goblin Slayer squad's account, the witch learned the whole story.

However, after learning why Liu Tianyu was looking for her, her gaze towards him was filled with a strange emotion.

This startled Liu Tianyu, who was wolfing down his food in the main seat, and he quickly continued eating.

Just kidding, he had just calmed Lucy down, and he wouldn't dare cause any more trouble at this critical moment.

"He and I are friends, so helping him is the right thing to do!"

The witch glanced at Liu Tianyu, who was engrossed in his meal, then turned around and agreed to the Goblin Slayer team's request without hesitation.

"That's wonderful, thank you so much!"

The priestess's cute little face broke into a genuine smile.

"Haha, to thank you for your help, witch, let's have a drink!"

After the miner-Taoist priest burst into laughter, he stood directly on the table and began to liven up the atmosphere.

"Come on, cheers!"

After listening to the words of the miner and the Taoist priest, no one refused. Even Liu Tianyu, who had been eating and drinking like an ostrich, raised his wine glass full of grape juice and toasted them in the air.

After finishing his drink, Liu Tianyu couldn't help but glance at the witch again, wondering if she was truly magnanimous or just putting on a brave face.

Seemingly noticing Liu Tianyu's gaze, the witch chuckled and made a subtle lip gesture to him.

“My name is Verna, and I agree to become your magic advisor!”

After Liu Tianyu deciphered Werner's lip movements, he discovered a new unit had appeared in his unit inventory.

He couldn't help but open the system's troop page, and then the witch's upgrade tree.

Novice Witch — Witch Apprentice — Witch — Great Witch — Titled Witch

This is a completely new upgrade tree, not a troop tree for kingdoms or nations, which instantly piqued Liu Tianyu's interest in the adventurer system.

After all, there are all sorts of professions for adventurers! Since these adventurers have unique upgrade trees, perhaps they can be categorized as mercenaries.

After all, in Mount & Blade, besides the various national troop types, there are many other diverse troop types!

Verna is already a silver-level adventurer even though she is only a third-level witch. If she were to be upgraded again, Liu Tianyu would be very much looking forward to seeing how powerful she would become!

…………

"Is this the City of Water? A city built entirely on floating islands, connected to the land by only two roads, with a dense network of waterways and a good inland port. It is truly a prosperous city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack!"

After a flash of light from a magic circle, Liu Tianyu and his group appeared on the outskirts of the Water City.

After seeing the layout of Water City, Liu Tianyu couldn't help but praise it.

"Young nobleman, why did you give such an evaluation after seeing Water City for the first time!"

"Hey, witch, why did you only send us to the outer perimeter instead of sending us inside?!"

The miner-Taoist muttered something, then turned to ask Verna.

"The City of Water possesses the Temple of the Supreme God. Directly teleporting inside would be tantamount to a provocation, so we can only teleport outside."

"Virna said slowly and deliberately."

"That's right, the Archbishop of the Supreme Temple, that's the great hero who defeated the Demon King more than ten years ago, a gold-level adventurer, the Sword Saintess, Mr. Miner, please restrain yourself a bit!"

The priestess quickly chimed in.

"The Sword Saintess? I see! Our miners' hero, the Great Craftsman, fought alongside her!"

The miner and the Taoist priest realized what was happening, and their expressions instantly returned to respect.

"Alright, stop talking and let's go. Finding a silver-rank priest to heal Ark is the most important thing!"

Liu Tianyu didn't care about their thoughts and drove the carriage directly towards the Water City.

Verna's teleportation magic can only carry a limited number of people. This time, in addition to the Goblin Slayer squad, Liu Tianyu only brought nine Nord Royal Guards and a carriage to the Water City.

He was quite curious about the capital of the border province of Water City, and what he was most curious about was the famous Sword Saintess!

The author says:

Author's note: I made some reasonable revisions to the previous chapter, and I hope everyone can understand. After all, it was still a bit too magical realism!

There will be another chapter later, mainly because I have a lot to do today, and I, the author, need to go back and rework it!

Chapter Forty-Four: The Black Nun and the White Saintess

"Hello, please stop and show your identification!"

When Liu Tianyu arrived at the gates of the Water City in his carriage, he was stopped by the guards.

Liu Tianyu didn't say anything, but simply took out the family crest from around his neck and handed it to the guards of the Water City.

"A noble family crest? Wait, the Black Phoenix crest? Quickly, inform the nun of the High Temple!"

The guards of the Water City were not to be underestimated. They immediately recognized that what Liu Tianyu handed over was a badge exclusively for nobles. However, after seeing the design of the badge, their expressions changed drastically, and they shouted to their colleagues.

"?!"

Seeing the guards' drastically changed expressions and the guards who were far ahead of them, everyone in Liu Tianyu's team was completely dumbfounded.

"No, what are you doing? What happened to my family crest?"

Liu Tianyu, looking completely bewildered, pulled the guards of the Water City aside and asked.

"Excuse me, sir, please come over here and wait a moment."

Early this morning, the nun from the High Temple informed us that a nobleman whose family crest is the Black Phoenix would be arriving in Water City, and we were told to keep a close watch.

Once we encounter you, we must not neglect you. We will immediately notify the High Temple so that the nuns there can personally greet you!

The guards of the Water City respectfully led Liu Tianyu to a nearby checkpoint, then instructed some guards to take care of the carriage and his entourage before quickly explaining the situation.

"what?"

Liu Tianyu was filled with disbelief. If it weren't for the guards' seemingly respectful demeanor, he would have thought this was a trap!

He was certain this was his first time in the Water City, but the nuns of the High Temple of the Water City not only knew he was coming, but they also came to greet him personally. This…

"In the Water City, at the Supreme Temple, is there anyone you recognize?"

Verna slowly walked over and asked.

After searching through all his memories since birth, Liu Tianyu shook his head fiercely.

To put it bluntly, he was just a country nobleman. How could he possibly know any nobles from the Water City, let alone the High Temple?

It's important to understand that the Archbishop of the Supreme Temple holds a position in the kingdom equivalent to that of an Elector in a certain sacred bottled water empire.

If he really knew a big shot in the Supreme Temple, he would definitely invite a saintess to the Storm Plains to completely eliminate the storm disaster.

"Isn't that strange? The nuns of the High Temple gave us a notification this morning, and then you actually came to the Water City today."

Lilith's little head was full of question marks.

"Om-"

Just as Liu Tianyu and the others were puzzled, a magic circle suddenly appeared at the checkpoint, and then three figures walked out of the magic circle.

One of them was the guard who had recently rushed to the Supreme Temple. Judging from his shocked expression, he probably didn't expect to be teleported back directly.

As for the other two, you can tell they are nuns just by looking at their clothes, but they are slightly different.

The older nun wore a black veil, had long, beautiful silver hair, and had lovely sky-blue eyes. A gentle, older sister's smile graced her pretty face.

She wore a black nun's habit with the neckline slightly open, revealing her delicate collarbone, which shimmered with a faint white light. Judging by the curves, it must have been at least an E cup. In addition, she wore an eye-catching silver scale-shaped cross on her chest.

Looking further down, there's the long skirt of the nun's habit. The length of the skirt is quite in line with the design of a nun's habit, but the high slit that almost reaches the top of the thigh has nothing to do with a nun's habit. Instead, it looks more like some kind of cosplay.

Not to mention those long, beautiful legs encased in black stockings, even the four white stockings were clearly visible!

Looking at the black nun's habit, Liu Tianyu's lips twitched violently. He couldn't help but glance at Lilith beside him. Her priestess's clothes were perfectly normal!

Does this mean that nuns who are officially employed in the temple wear rather attractive nunneries, while priests who come out can be more casual?

But to be honest, Liu Tianyu gave a big thumbs up to these incredibly eye-catching nun's uniforms.

The older black-clad nun in front of me deserves a perfect score of 92! If she also has some other perks, then she deserves an extra 3 points!

Then, Liu Tianyu turned his attention to another nun, who was younger and dressed in a white nun's habit.

She wore not only a white nun's veil, but also a golden crown inlaid with a magnificent emerald that shimmered with light. Without a doubt, this was an enchanted piece of equipment!

Beyond the crown, there was a head of dazzling long golden hair, followed by a pair of adorable purple eyes and a slightly chubby face.

The white nun's habit she was wearing was almost identical to that of the black nun; in fact, it revealed even more. She not only showed a glimpse of her D-cup fair skin but also exposed her delicate, white shoulders.

However, what shocked Liu Tianyu was that the ribbon at her neckline was red! According to the temple's hierarchy, she was either a bishop or a saint!

This made Liu Tianyu instantly look away. Even though this Holy Maiden, like the black-clad nun, also had white stockings and suspenders showing below, and even had an absolute territory, she was a pretty girl who could be rated 94 points.

He dared not look anymore, fearing he would get into trouble.

"Hello, are you Viscount Storm? My name is Aria, a nun from the High Temple, and this is Tina, a saintess from the High Temple."

After stepping out of the magic circle, the black-clad nun, Aliya, gave Liu Tianyu a curtsy and introduced herself.

However, her attempt to curtsy was worse than not curtsying at all. After she did so, Liu Tianyu's eyes were immediately unsure where to look.

That flared neckline? Or that super high slit that almost reveals the top of the thigh?

"Ahem, I am Viscount Storm, Liu Tianyu. It's a pleasure to meet you, Sister Alia!"

It is my honor to know you, Saintess Tina!

After Alia finished her skirt-lifting ceremony, Liu Tianyu first bowed respectfully to Tina, and then returned the gesture with a standard hand kiss to Alia.

Unfortunately, if the leader of the Supreme Temple is the Sword Saintess, the only ones who can be on equal footing with her in terms of divine authority are the Earth Mother Incarnation of the Earth Mother Temple and the Grand Patriarch of the Temple of Wisdom.
