When Mil saw Lilith again, her eyes were red, as if she had just cried.
Mil was secretly delighted…
She's in trouble?
That's a good thing!
Join the Abyss!
The Abyss likes targeted poverty alleviation; the only price is the soul…
In life, effort is only one aspect; the key is to follow the right person. For example, to become a god, one must follow Yang Jian, even a dog can become an immortal.
Two weeks had passed since the sermon incident…
The Tribunal and Diana had questioned Mil repeatedly, but nothing came of it.
The sun at nine in the morning was warm and pleasant. Mil and Lilith walked along the path of the academy castle, heading towards the classroom.
Sunlight spilled onto Lilith's fair face, and the unique youthful aura of a maiden fermented in the wind;
Her long eyelashes were matted with tears, and her reddish eye corners were like pear blossoms, white with a hint of red.
Mil handed her a handkerchief, but a playful smile was on his face:
"You look quite good when you cry."
"Heh, is that supposed to be comforting?"
"Is comforting you useful? Do you think if I told you not to cry, you would listen to me?"
Lilith was amused into laughter, shaking her head helplessly, while Mil was unwilling to let go of this opportunity:
"People… always have things they can't do, but life is only once, and nothing is eternal, except for missing out and losing."
"I can tell you don't want to comfort me at all."
Of course, it wasn't comfort; Mil was inducing her. If Lilith joined the Abyss, Mil's secret would no longer be a handle she held over him.
"I'm advising you not to leave yourself with regrets. Why be bound by those rules and regulations? Open your mind. If you can't do it yourself, you can use external forces, for example… find me."
"Alright… but what can you do?"
"Heh… things others can't do, I have plenty of ways to achieve them. The things that trouble you are, in my opinion, most likely minor issues."
Hearing this ethereal promise, Lilith felt a bit weary, sighed deeply, and sneered:
"Heh… if you're just trying to get attention like other boys, I'll be very disappointed in you."
"Guess why I dabble in dark attributes? Only by possessing power can one possess the leverage to change one's destiny."
Mil felt that he was terrifyingly strong now, and with a little more guidance, he would surely lead this maiden astray!
However, Lilith seemed to have heard the biggest joke, laughing uncontrollably:
"Is handing over your destiny to others enough? You're really quite foolish; don't you know you've been sold out?"
"Me? Sold out? You must have misunderstood something? Did you get the parties to the transaction wrong?"
Lilith shook her head, and her gaze at Mil held a hint of pity:
"Any mage can use dark attribute magic. But the only condition is to swear your soul belongs to the Abyss."
"What if the soul belongs to the Abyss? Having the power to change one's destiny is the key!"
Mil felt that he had already led the conversation to the core of the contradiction, and was about to break through the maiden's psychological defense!
Little did he know, what bound Lilith was precisely because her soul belonged to the Abyss.
Lilith nodded calmly:
"Alright, then you help me get rid of the Demon God's Child."
"Alright! No? What did the Demon God's Child do to you?!"
But when the topic came to this, Lilith suddenly remembered…
The Demon God's Child asked her to protect Mil, which meant he valued Mil greatly. Perhaps Mil could really help?
But Lilith quickly gave up again. The ultimate goal of the Demon God's Child must be to unseal the chaos holy stone, and the Holy City would inevitably fall…
And just then, a shout suddenly came from afar:
"Lilith—!"
Mil's blood pressure instantly surged. The emotional atmosphere had reached this point; he was just about to figure out Lilith's "weakness"…
As a result, George, the foolish son of the Border Marquis's family, came again to offer his greetings.
"Lilith! I brought you breakfast sandwiches. Brother Mil, yours today has no onions!"
Mil's expression was wary:
"Does it have beef?"
"Yes!"
"I don't eat beef."
Mainly, he was still worried that this guy would play tricks and put some strange things inside.
However, George quickly noticed that Lilith was different from usual:
"…No, Lilith! Why are you crying?"
"It's none of your business."
Lilith's eyes were cold, and she walked directly past George. No matter how beautiful a normal girl was, she wouldn't have such exaggerated admirers, right?
However, Lilith was not a normal girl, but a succubus; her admirers would only be more exaggerated.
Seeing Lilith ignore him, George looked at Mil angrily and directly pushed him on the shoulder:
"Mil! Are you even human? Don't you think you've gone too far?"
"Heh, indeed too far. I repent, but you can't blame me entirely. Who told your mother to be so charming?"
"You brat! Giving you face, dare to bully Lilith? Are you looking for death?!"
George, who had just been timid, suddenly became arrogant, seemingly immersed in his imagined heroism…
But Mil really couldn't hold back. This guy didn't even defend his own mother a bit?
Lilith stopped, glaring and scolding:
"George, enough! My business has nothing to do with you, and you have no right to criticize what Mil does to me!"
After speaking, she pulled Mil and quickly left.
In fact, this was not an isolated case…
After the sermon incident, although Mil gained a bit of fame, he soon found that he was not very popular at school and in the church.
To those who worked hard to get into the church, Mil was a connected person, entering the church through his sister, and then directly promoted to the Cardinal Group because of an absurd conspiracy;
In the eyes of his male classmates, Mil was a waste who only awakened his magic talent at 20, yet he directly stole their goddess whom they had fawned over for eight years.
In the dark, Mil could feel that someone was starting to plan a conspiracy against him…
Just this morning, Mil received an external mission from the church, an exorcism ritual—
Exorcism target: Cursed Prostitute.
Exorcism level: 3.
Exorcism location: Paradise Southwest Diocese, Mian Ruo Cathedral.
Of course, Mil was only an accompanying person.
When he received this news, his first reaction was the "Erotic Enchantress" mentioned by Miley the succubus.
After communicating with Miley, he found that the exorcism target was precisely the Erotic Enchantress's vessel…
He had been troubled before about how to retrieve the vessel from the Southwest Diocese, but he didn't expect the demon seed to be discovered in a blink of an eye.
If they successfully exorcised it, there would be no way to prepare the potion that would make the Holy Sword betray.
Coincidentally, today's first class was Light and Darkness. After the White Magic Master entered the classroom, he announced:
"Students, this week we have an outdoor practical session to visit an exorcism ritual in Mian Ruo Village. Some male students might be quite familiar with that place?"
The classroom instantly became boisterous.
Mil still needed Lilith to explain much of the content of this course, so he sat with her.
And upon hearing this news, Lilith's face changed:
"I told you before, didn't I? Try not to leave the Holy City. After you become a hero, many demons have put a bounty on you."
Mil also knew in his heart…
Although the sermon incident swept away the heretics in the Holy City, it only swept away their strongholds and foundations.
"It's okay, I'm going to Mian Ruo Village anyway."
"Did… someone commission you to go?"
Lilith looked at Mil, her tone cautious. But Mil couldn't possibly admit it, unless he wanted Lilith to have even more leverage over him.
