Holna Brauna walked quietly alone on the bustling streets of Brunei City.

The city seems to have forgotten the pain caused by the orc invasion and is showing the vitality and vitality of an emerging city in its own way.

After the necessary evil church settled in, this vitality and vitality were mixed with the smell of fanatical faith.

Everyone has a pious color on their faces, and their chests are covered with cross pendants that symbolize the evil of necessity.

Holna didn't like this dangerous smell, but she had to witness that thriving fanaticism.

Because she is the current pope of the necessary evil church.

When she thought of the name she was carrying, even if the magic barrier of "Stupidity and Silence" was opened, no one noticed her now, and the girl still couldn't help but tighten the scattered robe and white hood that wrapped around her.

Who would have thought that this Pope, whom thousands of people admired, was just the adopted daughter of a traveling businessman a month ago.

As I walked, the girl's thoughts gradually drifted away and returned to the past...

Perhaps because of her adoptive father, Holna has longed for the kind of free and easy life that floats across the eastern plain since she was a child. That thin back full of vicissitudes is the goal she pursues throughout her life, which is that back has to shoulder the originally fragmented family and gives her younger brothers and sisters a life of food and clothing and hope for the future.

"The outside world is not peaceful. If you want to walk by my side, at least you can have the ability to protect yourself first, such as becoming a magician or something."

After his young self expressed his expectations to the man, he said this half-jokingly.

I believed it and tried my best to squeeze into the admissions test of the nearby Magic Academy.

Unfortunately, although Holna does have a certain degree of magical talent, she is still quite far from becoming a magician. Instead, she has a good prospect to develop towards a magic swordsman.

After hearing such words from the magician in charge of the test, his adoptive father was silent for a long time.

After that, his time at home became shorter and shorter, and his time outside was longer and longer. The only thing that remained unchanged was his increasingly thin back and his living expenses delivered on time every month.

Then, one day he suddenly returned home and said with a proud smile that he finally earned Horna a lot of money to study at the Magic Swordsman Camp.

He always did that, in order to allow Holna and the others to receive better care and education, he tried his best to drain his body.

He is just an ordinary person who does not know magic and has mediocre martial arts. Even his business talent is only average. In Holna's mind, he is more dazzling and more beautiful than the heroes who saved the world in the legend.

However, when Holna advanced to the third grade with excellent results, he finally fell down due to overwork.

On weekdays, Holna learned how to defeat the enemy. She could not afford the high medical expenses and could not hire a priest and priest. She could only watch anxiously as his body deteriorated day by day.

Just when she was desperate, a strange person appeared in front of her.

"Do you want to understand the meaning of life? Do you want to...really live?" He said to Holna: "If you want, sign a contract with me and become a soul envoy!"

"don't want."

However, Holna, who was educated since childhood, could not sign a strange contract with strangers, immediately refused him - after all, in this magical world, there are many demons who ran from the abyss to the main material plane for various reasons wandering in the shadows, bewitching people to sign contracts with them to obtain their souls.

Therefore, as long as people who have received normal education, almost no one will pay attention to this kind of temptation from unknown origin.

"Do you want to become a powerful man? Do you want to become famous in the eastern plain?" So the strange man immediately changed to another saying: "If you want, sign a contract with me and become a soul envoy!"

"I refuse."

The girl said unwaveringly.

“…”

“…”

"Okay," the strange guy looked at her in frustration for a few seconds, then changed into a full-hearted look, and said again: "Girl, I see that you are a genius of the Soul Tools. You are a soul genius who has no one in a thousand. You have signed a contract with me and the important task of saving the world will be handed over to you!"

Holna turned around and ran away.

The person who can appear in front of him quietly is definitely the only one who can't afford to offend him at the level of a magic swordsman.

After running all the way to the house, closing the door, and inserting the door bolt, the girl breathed a sigh of relief. She returned to the sickbed to visit her skinny adoptive father.

All the things that can be sold at home have been sold at a discount, and even his young brother and sister went out to work, so they barely managed to maintain their family's plan while paying the minimum medical expenses.

If it weren't for the adoptive father's insistence on request, Holna would have dropped out of school and joined the mercenary group to make money to subsidize her family's income.

Recently, her adoptive father's consciousness has become increasingly blurred and his condition has deteriorated sharply. She can no longer help but hesitate.

She held her adoptive father's hand that was so thin that it seemed to be left with only skin and bones, and tears couldn't help but fall.

"Do you want to cure him?"

The sudden sound in her ear shocked Holna and subconsciously pulled out the iron sword that was tied to her waist.

When she turned around, she saw that the strange man just now was floating in between the walls like a ghost: "Do you want him to come alive?" As if she didn't notice the girl's hostility, the man still said slowly: "Then sign a contract with me and become a soul envoy!"

At this moment, Holna hesitated.

"Really..." She trembled and asked in a low voice: "Can I really make my father better if I sign a contract with you?"

"It's true." The other party showed a disgusting smile that was sure to win: "I swear in the name of great will."

"If that's the case, sign it! The soul life is still something else, just take it!" He threw the sword on the ground with a clang, and Holna shouted loudly: "But if you break your promise, even if you fall into hell forever and your soul turns into ashes, I will curse you!"

"That's my honor." The guy raised his head, and the smile on his face became more and more annoying.

The huge building with the flag of the necessary evil church in front of him interrupted Holna's memories.

The girl who has become a pope gently stroked the ring face of the emerald ring on her hand: "Is the path I am walking now really right... After signing a contract and becoming a soul envoy, what exactly did I lose? Why did that guy choose me at the beginning..."

"Yeah, you seem to be very troubled."

Just like that time, a voice that she would never forget suddenly sounded in her ears.

She turned around and looked in astonishment as the guy who had always had an annoying smile standing there carelessly.

"Don't you invite me in and sit?" Xiwei looked at the girl with a shocked look and said with a smile that had been marked with an annoying mark in the girl's heart.
