A Game for Everyone: God-Level Talent is Achieved Through Rolling In.

[The Gauls?]

His situation is complicated; let's talk about it when we get back to the city.

Nie Wan exited the instance, took the teleportation stone from He Chang, and teleported back to the nearest city-state with the other players.

Similar to the Huaxia region, where architectural styles are a blend of various dynasties, the city-states within the Xiluo service area also encompass a variety of architectural styles.

The city-state that Nie Wan teleported to was called Kaya City. It was a very small city-state with unremarkable architecture. Upon entering the city, all that could be seen was a mixture of earthy yellow and gray stone colors, with no other bright colors.

This city-state is nominally a republic, but in reality it's just a small, isolated place where anyone who tries to govern it is considered too much trouble.

This small town is advantageous because it's close to the sea, and players can teleport there at level 10, so quite a few players come here to resupply.

Looking around, most players were dressed in white robes, while warrior players wore simple armor. If it weren't for their IDs, it wouldn't be easy to distinguish our group from the local players at first glance.

Nie Wan's new teammates instinctively pulled up their hoods the moment they teleported back.

Nie Wan turned her head and met their gaze; only then did they belatedly realize what was happening.

"That's right! We're all backed by big shots now, why are we still pulling up our hoods!"

Everyone quickly realized what was happening, and stood tall and proud, as if they were about to swagger through the streets.

He Chang couldn't stand it any longer and said sternly, "Stop fooling around! Go back to the hotel immediately and continue practicing your secondary profession!"

As he spoke, he beckoned Nie Wan to go in another direction with him.

Nie Wan followed her to the statue of Aphrodite in the central square of the city.

He Chang stopped in front of the statue, raised her hand to stroke the statue's chin, and as she did so, a faint white light enveloped the two of them.

He Chang explained, "This is a characteristic of my profession. I can connect with Aphrodite's lingering resentment through any statue of the goddess of beauty and receive her divine protection. Within the range of her divine protection, no one can eavesdrop on our conversation."

Nie Wan nodded and sat down with her on the steps next to the statue. Looking at the row of olive trees outside the square, she sent a private message to He Chang.

[Let's continue. What kind of Gauls were they?]

He Chang found it quite strange that Nie Wan was still chatting via private messages.

But I also answered in a private message.

I've never actually met him, only heard that everyone calls him His Excellency the Bishop, and he is indeed a cardinal, both in the game and in real life. He's said to be an extremely devout Catholic, almost fanatical. He considers not only other denominations, but even Eastern Orthodoxy and Puritanism heretical.

As you know, there are many believers here, and the "Bishop" has many followers; he's practically invincible. This Orphic sect in the Hiro district is considered heretical there, so it was eradicated before I did.

As for me...

He Chang sighed.

[At the time, I was hoping for the best, thinking that since I'm from China, I could easily convert to another religion, so I surrendered. I didn't expect that they also knew the principle that those who are not of their kind will have different hearts, and ultimately they still killed me as a messenger of an evil god—I mean, I died the same way in the game and in real life.]

So after I regained my memories, I immediately contacted the authorities, hoping to return to China as soon as possible, at least to ensure my physical safety in the real world.

It sounds like this bishop's behavior is very similar to Ye Rutan's.

One of them was still using the banner of eliminating heresy, while the other didn't even bother with such embellishment.

She thought for a moment and then asked He Chang.

What are your plans now? Revenge? Or is simply surviving enough?

Of course I'll get revenge! Don't you know what kind of temper I have?

as predicted.

Nie Wan used to be in charge of He Chang's finances, so she was naturally aware of what had happened to her.

Her father was once the richest man in China, but he died in a family feud.

In her quest for revenge, she went so far as to report the entire He family, causing their assets to shrink drastically.

She herself had already withdrawn before this, converting all her real estate shares into cash and handing it over to Nie Wan to manage. Then she went far away, no longer caring about the dog-eat-dog people in the He family.

With such a temper, she was killed even after surrendering. One can imagine how she would retaliate if she were reborn.

But Nie Wan will not let go of all her wariness just because of this.

How can I be sure you're not a spy sent by the other side?

He Chang looked at the private message, sighed, and his face was full of bitterness.

I knew you'd be suspicious, so I've been reluctant to tell the truth.

[It's more accurate to say that your personality is such that you don't want to tell the truth to anyone, which is why I became suspicious.]

He Chang shrugged, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

If all else fails, you can use your red bean to control me.

[You know that red beans only last for one month.]

So what exactly do you want?

[The Hiro district must have items that establish a definite follower relationship and guarantee that the follower will not betray you. Take me to find them, and then we can sign a contract. That way, I can trust you completely.]

Do I have to find a dog leash myself, put it around your neck, and then hand the other end to you to hold?

You have the right to say no.

[I really don't want to ruin my manners, but Nie Wan, you always manage to make me want to curse.]

He Chang leaned back against the statue of the goddess of beauty, propping his chin up with his hand, and said, "If I remember correctly, someone obtained the headband of the goddess of memory on Mount Helicon. It can control another person's consciousness. However, the monsters on that mountain are all level 60, so we can't go there right now. Let's level up for a few days first, help me deal with the few players I don't like, and then we'll go get it."

"A level 60 exquisite monster?" Nie Wan asked.

"Yes."

"Then go now."

Nie Wan stood up and, under He Chang's "Are you kidding me?" gaze, gestured for him to proceed.

He Chang stood up and asked Nie Wan, "What level are you at?"

When they first met, she tried to check Nie Wan's rank, but she couldn't see it clearly at all.

She figured it was only the early stages of the game, and there was no way she could exceed level 40, so she didn't ask.

But Nie Wan's behavior at this moment made her feel a little uneasy.

Nie Wan said, "Level 46."

He Chang's eyelids twitched violently, and without further hesitation, he shared a map with Nie Wan.

Nie Wan opened it and saw that it was a map of Mount Helikong, with the locations of the nine temples marked in particular.

However, she didn't quite understand what the marked temple meant, so she took a screenshot and sent it to Yu Yuehua.

Yu Yuehua immediately replied, "This is the temple dedicated to the nine Muses. The temple is named after the goddesses. Among them, the Temple of Calliope is the most important because she is the most outstanding of the nine Muses."
