Another World: The Failed Magician

after one day

The Theocracy of Light

The simple room was now packed with people.

Two armored figures are struggling to maintain order.

"Your Holiness, please, please take a look at my child first."

"I was the one who arrived first, Saintess."

The room was filled with a cacophony of sounds, creating a chaotic atmosphere.

A young girl, surrounded by a crowd, made a gesture of prayer.

Then a soft light filled the entire room.

The noise gradually faded away.

The crowd began to become orderly.

"Come up."

The girl spoke in a gentle voice.

The old man at the front took a step forward.

The girl gently placed her hand on the old man's head.

The girl's hand emitted a faint light.

The light faded away shortly afterward.

The old man checked his body and moved around for a while, then immediately knelt down on the ground.

"Thank you, Holy Maiden!"

All his ailments had miraculously disappeared, including the strange illness that even the priest couldn't cure.

The girl smiled gently.

"This is what I should do."

After saying this, the old man left happily, and then another person came up.

The girl repeated the same action.

Finally, as the sun set, the girl finished treating everyone in the room.

The girl turned her head away and breathed a sigh of relief.

At that moment, a person wearing armor walked over.

"Iris, are you alright?"

The girl shook her head.

"I'm fine, Bryce. You guys go ahead and get ready. I'll rest for a bit, then we'll set off."

"it is good."

After saying that, the two armored men walked out.

The girl silently looked out the window, fiddling with her long, light blue hair.

The girl's name was Elise Boone

She was originally an orphan living in a slum.

But one day, as she was praying to the sky as usual, a consciousness entered her mind.

From that day on, she could feel a voice frequently coming from her mind.

As time went on, the girl was able to hear the sounds clearly.

The voice claimed to be the God of Light, and that it was a chosen believer.

At first, the girl didn't believe it, but gradually she discovered that as long as she listened carefully to the voice in her heart, she would gain a special ability: as long as she placed her hand on the other person's head, no matter what disease the other person had, the other person would be cured.

It was through this that the girl gradually came to believe the voice in her heart.

Then an organization claiming to be a church contacted her.

At first, Elise thought that this so-called church was the Church of the Light.

But it wasn't until she joined the church that she realized this so-called church was not the Church of Light, the ruler of the Kingdom of Light.

The girl's first reaction upon discovering this was to run away.

When the other party found out, they not only didn't punish her, but also patiently explained it to her.

It took Elise some time to discover that there was a group of women in the church who had experienced the same thing as her.

These women were collectively referred to as saints.

They, like themselves, could hear the voice that called itself the God of Light.

Each of them will awaken a different ability.

The church leader, who called himself an elder, told Elise.

The current Church of Light is a complete fraud. The current Pope cannot hear the voice of the God of Light at all; he is a false believer.

The girl didn't believe it at first, but when she pondered her doubts at night, the voice in her heart gave her an answer.

Just as the elders said.

And so, with a mixture of belief and skepticism, Elizabeth joined the church.

After joining the church, she began providing free medical treatment to people in the area every day.

But as they passed through more and more places...

The girl was somewhat worried.

Elise heard that the Church of Light claimed to have only one saintess, and that those like them were all fake saintesses.

But Elise felt that the more the Church of Light acted this way, the more it proved that there was something wrong with it.

However, the Church of Light is the undisputed ruler of the Kingdom of Light.

She felt that the church's high-profile actions were bound to cause problems sooner or later.

Elise also reported this to the elders, who told her that these were all their own people and that she didn't need to worry.

But Elise always felt a sense of unease in her heart.

Elise patted her cheeks.

Forget it, let's just focus on our own things and leave these matters to the elders to worry about.

The girl was about to leave the room when she reached the door.

Then we heard two thuds as people fell to the ground.

Elise immediately sensed something was wrong and quickly hid under the bed in the room.

Even if Elise is mentally mature, she is still just a 12-year-old girl.

His eyes constantly betrayed fear and panic.

Then, with a creak, the old-fashioned wooden door was pushed open.

The girl keenly noticed that the other person was not wearing armor on their lower body.

Elise immediately sensed something was wrong.

As the other person drew closer, the girl felt her heart leap into her throat.

The girl covered her mouth tightly to prevent herself from making a sound.

Even so, the other person still stopped in front of the bed.

"Why don't you come out yourself?"

Elise clenched her teeth, believing it was just a trick by the other party to deceive her.

"Fine, if you won't come out, then I'll take action."

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl heard a snap of fingers.

The wooden bed suddenly floated upwards into the air.

Elise leaned against the corner of the wall in terror.

"this…"

She looked at the man standing in front of her with a face full of fear.

Lu Xuan's lips twitched as he watched the girl's exaggerated performance.

This gives her time to react. Is it because she looks too scary?

Lu Xuan quickly shook his head.

"Let's go, I won't hurt you."

Elise remained firmly against the corner of the wall, unmoved.

The other party must be from the Church of Light.

I cannot betray the church.

At that moment, Elise remembered the pills the elder had given her.

The elder said that if the pill falls into the hands of the Church of Light, the person must take it immediately.

Elise swiftly retrieved the pill from her spatial ring.

Just as she was about to take it, a gentle breeze suddenly blew by, and the pill flew out of her palm and into the other person's hand.

Lu Xuan saw through the girl's plan at a glance.

Lu Xuan shook his head helplessly.

"I already told you I wouldn't do anything to you."

As he spoke, he grabbed the girl's ahoge (cowlick) on her head.

Elise tried to resist, but found herself unable to move.

Lu Xuan was at a loss; he was afraid the girl would do something outrageous again.

Lu Xuan carried the girl away as if she were a chick.

Just as Elise was about to resign herself to her fate, an extremely gentle voice entered her ears.

"How could you do this? She's just a little girl. Look how scared you've made her."

Elise stared blankly as a blonde figure walked by and suddenly hugged her tightly.

Lu Xuan looked at Charlotte, who was protecting him like a child, and waved his hand helplessly.

"I tried my best, but there's nothing I can do."

Charlotte turned away from Lu Xuan and gently comforted the girl in her arms.
