Chapter 102: Lower Angel
Heavenly Mountain, Saint, Lower Angel, and the pure sacred light attribute magic power on the Celestial Sparrow. The conjecture that could not be verified due to the contract before was finally vaguely guessed by Jia Na through the Celestial Sparrow's few words at this moment, regarding the Celestial Sparrow's true origin.
"I didn't expect that the magical creature I contracted actually came from the Heavenly Holy World—"
Thinking silently in her heart, although the Celestial Sparrow always called the place it lived in "Heavenly Mountain". However, the unusual appellations that popped out of its mouth from time to time, such as "Holy Light", "Lord of Light", and "Saint",
made Jia Na always suspicious of the Celestial Sparrow's background.
Until today, when Jia Na, relying on the Spiritual Body Shuttle talent, accidentally encountered the "Saint" that the Celestial Sparrow had always mentioned, even though the Holy Light was dazzling at the time, Jia Na could still tell from the outline of that "Saint",
that the other party was what was described in the 《Catalogue of Magical Creatures》 that Jia Na had previously read in the library: a Lower Angel with strength comparable to a Tier 1 Wizard—a two-winged Archangel.
"Angel" is a type of humanoid magical creature with the sacred light attribute, extremely rare in number but exceptionally powerful.
They often live in the Heavenly Holy World and rarely show up. Besides occasionally sending down divine oracles to subordinate planes, there are very few relevant records about their true information even in the Wizard World.
And since the Celestial Sparrow is closely associated with that "Saint" Angel, its origin cannot possibly be as simple as just a low-level sacred light spirit.
Even if the other party kept complaining about their plight, as far as Jia Na knew, creatures generally surrounding Angels must also be a group of Holy Light Reserve with the potential to advance to Angel.
Otherwise, ordinary magical creatures would absolutely not be able to survive in the extremely pure magical environment of the Heavenly Holy World.——·
"Afu, you said you wouldn't lie to me, right?"
"Of course, Master, Afu would never deceive you—"
Looking at the Celestial Sparrow's serious expression, the smile on Jia Na's face became even more genuine.
"Alright, I want to ask you, is there really a place called Heavenly Mountain in the Spirit World?"
"Ah—this—"
Hearing Jia Na's question, a moment of panic actually flashed across the Celestial Sparrow's small bird face.
"I'm sorry, Master, these are things that Holy Light absolutely forbids revealing. If Afu speaks out, the omniscient Holy Light will definitely punish me—"
"It's okay, Afu, I'm just asking. It's fine if you don't answer."
Seeing the Celestial Sparrow's troubled look, Jia Na became even more certain of her guess.
As an intelligent creature, the Celestial Sparrow's intelligence is indeed not low. But a little sparrow ultimately can't outwit an old rogue; its pure, childlike thinking, like that of a child, makes the Celestial Sparrow, who wasn't very guarded against Jia Na in the first place, unconsciously reveal a lot of information.
For example, "Holy Light", and for example, "Lower Angel""
If the Celestial Sparrow hadn't said so much, Jia Na might have also deliberately avoided these topics due to the taboo of some existence.
But she couldn't help it; the other party kept exposing itself.
"The Heavenly Holy World is one of the interfaces with the purest magic attributes in the Spirit World. Similarly, the various powerful Laws contained within the plane are not inferior to those in the main material plane, especially the Purification Laws"
"Moreover, since the Celestial Sparrow is a Holy Light Reserve, its future promotion path is not just as simple as a regular light-attribute spirit—"
Calculating silently in her heart, looking at the Celestial Sparrow on her shoulder who was looking at her with a determined expression, Jia Na once again displayed her warmest and most gentle smile.
"It's alright, Afu, you should go back and rest early too."
"Ah, okay—"
Seeing that Jia Na didn't seem angry because of her concealment, the Celestial Sparrow, feeling relieved, finally couldn't help but let out a sigh with its small bird mouth.
"Then I'll go back now, Master."
"Go quickly."
Seeing that Jia Na was really not angry, accompanied by a flash of milky white light, the Celestial Sparrow, whose heart was slightly at ease, finally disappeared into the contract magic circle under Jia Na's gentle gaze.
"Everything needs to be done step by step. Things like Purification Laws—can be postponed; there's no rush for that moment."
After all, Jia Na, who had just mastered the Spiritual Body Shuttle talent, had not fully exploited all the potential of this A-grade Talent. After she completes her subsequent advancements, Jia Na will have more ample time for talent research. During the following period, besides attending classes and working on time, Jia Na's main energy was invested in daily meditation and the preparation of materials for the Contract Summoning ritual.
Because the Contract Summoning ritual required many spiritual materials, Jia Na had long been prepared for a significant decrease in her financial situation.
However, for some reason, every time Jia Na was about to leave class and return to her dormitory these past few days, a large group of apprentices would surround her, asking various questions about Witchcraft casting.
Moreover, without Jia Na needing to remind them, they would very spontaneously take out jin sule and hand it to Jia Na before asking questions.
Seeing this situation, Jia Na was initially a bit unsure. But as more and more people paid for consultations, Jia Na's speed of collecting money also increased.
In just a few days, Jia Na had actually earned back the cost of the spiritual materials.
"I hope Professor Margaret will teach more difficult Witchcraft courses later. If so, this part-time job, which has a considerable income, can continue for a while longer."
Although knowledge is priceless, once the knowledge has been learned, it will no longer bring continuous income to Jia Na for those apprentices whose needs have been met.
Therefore, after the trend of paid consultations was popular for a while, it has completely plummeted in the past few days, and there isn't much 'wool' left for Jia Na to continue 'shearing'.
"Miss Jia Na, there is a message for you."
"Message? From whom?"
Just as she was about to push open the dormitory door, the Door Spirit inside the door frame quickly called out to Jia Na.
"It's a message brought by Miss Vivian's messenger. She said: I'll be back in the next couple of days, remember to wait for me obediently, I have a big surprise to show you~ That's all."

Listening to the Door Spirit's high-pitched voice, mimicking Vivian's tone vividly to reproduce the other party's words. Although the tone was grasped very accurately, Jia Na couldn't help but frown.
"Alright, I know. Just convey the message normally next time, no need to imitate the other party's tone additionally."
"Okay, Miss Jia Na."
Bang—gently closing the door, looking at the rosy sunset outside the window, Jia Na's nerves, which had been tense recently, gradually relaxed.
"Caw—caw—"
As the days grew longer, the Raven that had been stationed on the tree vine also became more active. It would suddenly let out a cry, causing the surrounding apprentices to frequently complain.
"Everything is ready, it's time to meditate—"
