Next day.
Lith and the other three were visiting churches again. This time they were going to visit the rest of the elemental churches they weren’t able to yesterday. They would start their day by first visiting the Light Church.
With Emilia’s help, they reached in front of the Light Church in no time.
The Light Church seemed just like the Dark Church, except it wasn’t painted dark like it. The interior of the church also wasn’t dark but bright and colorful.
These two churches had a lot in common with the only distinction between the two being their themes. The reason they were so similar was because Lucifer just copied her grandfather. It was very typical of her to do so and was nothing new.
Lith walked inside the church and saw a lot of paintings on the arched ceiling and bright colorful windows. There were two seats arranged in many rows in two columns and at the front of them was a cross and a priest sitting near it.
The cross was white in color and had ten different color pairs of wings attached to it in the middle of the cross. The golden color wing shined the brightest and the most visible color among the pairs. Nine pairs represented the nine Angel Kings and the tenth pair represented the King of Angels.
Lith turned his head to look at Emilia and asked, “teacher, which pair of wings represent you?”
He knew she was an Emperor Rank and an Angel King and thus asked out of curiosity.
“The red one.” Emilia replied with a smile.
Lith nodded his head and got back to looking at the cross.
Ralph and Dennis went to another area of the church to see things and right at this time, a youngster stood beside Lith and prayed in a low voice.
“O goddess, please bestow thy faithful devotee with thy grace. I hath been scorned and mocked at.”
“I… Umm… Nevermind. It’s too difficult to pray like that. Sorry Gods and Goddesses, I can’t speak in that way. I’ll resort to speaking normally.
Please hear my prayers. I am Muron, an average adventurer and I am getting too bullied in the party and the guild. I was left to die by the other members in the party today and the guild won’t even pay me my shares properly. Please Gods, Goddesses, please listen to me and help me.
I have a little brother who is sick at home and needs treatment and I am trying my best to amass money. Please, help your faithful devotee. I pray to you.”
The youngster’s voice was low but Lith, Emilia and even the priest could hear it.
Emilia and the priest had no reactions as it was an everyday thing for the two. But Lith on the other hand was different. It was his first time coming across someone who was actually in problems and in need of something.
Well, first time as in, in this world. Back on Earth, such things were a common occurrence. Since this guy was the first one he came across here, Lith decided to help the person out.
He seemed to be a Rank 4 and Lith himself had prowess equivalent to those in the lower ranges of Rank 6. He could help the person out.
He walked close to the guy and said, “my friend, you seem to be in trouble.”
Muron nodded and said, “yes, I am. But it’s fine. God is there. He’ll help me.”
Lith drew a cross on his chest and said, “I got a message from god today that I will meet a person in need. It seems you’re the one. Come, tell me your problems and I’ll try to help you.”
Lith lied without any problems. The gods really could contact people in this world and saying such a statement didn’t seem like someone was a scammer.
Muron and Lith walked towards a seat and sat on it. Muron began to slowly explain his troubles and what all things Lith could help him with.
Muron was a D class adventurer and was proficient in only the sword. But his sword skills were average and he was neither good at offense, or at defense and was the weakest member of his party. The party couldn’t afford him being this weak and therefore kicked him out.
Muron explored alone and tried to hunt beasts, accumulate monster cores, collect herbs, and did various such things to amass money. But in the end when he tried to give it to the guild and take credits in return for them, he was given only 25% of the actual price.
That much money wasn’t sufficient to even buy food for him and his little brother. The two were poor orphans and they lived in a hut house on the outskirts of Espat. He also had to travel large distances everyday. Life was very difficult for Muron.
Lith understood his problems and formulated his plans to help him out. First he would need to help him earn money and second, do something about the guild. The guild took so much money, it wasn’t right. Things need to be changed.
As for the party that threw him out, well, it wasn’t really their fault if this guy was dragging them behind. Clearing dungeons and doing various other missions together was a risk to life. One guy lagging would have the whole team suffer. It was better to part ways with such members.
Lith patted the guy’s shoulder and said, “don’t worry, my friend. I’ll help you with the best of my abilities. Give me your contact info, I’ll contact you later today.”
Muron did as Lith asked and after he had his contact, Lith walked towards Emilia and sat beside her. “Teacher, I know you told us to not roam freely around, but can you please let me help that guy? You must’ve heard what we were talking about, right?”
Emilia smiled and said, “I did. Why do you want to help him, though?”
“Because I felt that it has been hard on him and he really is in need.” Lith said half the truth.
He couldn’t tell Emilia that it was because he came across the first person in need in this world and wanted to help him. That would bring trouble to himself and thus said half the truth.
Emilia was happy hearing that reply and liked his attitude. His impression in front of her became better than before due to such a small action.
“You can help that person. But you have to make sure you do it by the end of the day. It’s 9 am, you have time till 11:59 pm. Don’t worry, I’ll be watching over you, so don’t be afraid of things.”
Lith nodded his head and thanked Emilia. He then walked towards Ralph and Dennis and told them the things he was gonna do today.
