Strength 99999 but the Holy Sister

"Speaking of which, Aisha, what have you thought about the previous proposal?"

The so-called proposal is naturally to give the ownership of Sky Island to Elsa.

"that……"

Elsa rarely looked helpless.

To be honest, Elsa felt that the ownership of this sky island should not be decided by them. The sky island was the kingdom of the winged people. Even though there was only one winged girl in the entire city now, Elsa still believed that the child's ideas should be respected - this was her last home, and Elsa did not want to deprive her of all this.

But the problem is, Elsa can also see the value of this sky island - even if Elsa does not interfere here, then when everything here gets out, will no one keep an eye on it?

Should he choose to keep a tight watch on Ryan and the Paladin, on Tricia and Inksha, and on everyone here? Should he silence them?

Or will you choose to stand on the side of the winged girl and fight against the "invaders" that may appear in the future?

It's all a joke.

The best way is to transfer the ownership to Elsa, as Tricia said - because Elsa is the discoverer and the meritorious person who dealt with the black monster crisis, and her personal strength is strong enough to own such assets.

It is reasonable and logical for Elsa to have this qualification.

Moreover, in Tricia's opinion, anyone who still has some sense would not choose to become an enemy of Elsa because of an ancient relic, even if this relic is an unprecedented island in the sky.

"Don't rush to make a decision, this is just a suggestion."

Tricia smiled. She knew why Aisha was hesitating, so she didn't rush Aisha.

In fact, she felt happy from the bottom of her heart - the person who mastered such power was Elsa, not anyone else, and this was the greatest gift from the goddess.

"Once we can communicate with the child, we'll ask her what she thinks. What do you think?"

"Ah."

Elsa could only nod.

Tricia smiled and continued.

"Also, I've made some simple repairs to the light refraction array—I'll leave it at that for now. If you're willing to take ownership of this place, I'll spend some time adding some other features, like temperature regulation, automatic counterattacks, magic detection, ground attacks, and so on... I think this sky island can do a lot."

Elsa thought Tricia seemed in high spirits.

"Speaking of which, has this sky island just stayed here forever?"

Aisha asked.

Tricia seemed to have an idea already. She said directly, "I want it to go to the great plains east of Weilin Town. The vast land there is suitable for staying and is less likely to cause disputes. If we think about it for a long time, we can move it deeper into the hinterland. However, all this needs to be done after notifying the Empire. Before that, I think we can temporarily move the sky island to the swamps east of the forest. That way, if any remaining black monsters appear in Weilin Town, we can respond as quickly as possible."

After all, the plains are all the empire's territory.

"Next, I would like to take the initiative to inform the Empire and the Holy See of what is happening here. Do you think it's okay?"

Aisha agreed: "Sure, I prefer to be proactive rather than letting others realize it later."

This is also Elsa's style of doing things, which has never changed from her previous life to now.

But to Tricia's ears, these words sounded very meaningful.

——Will I be the passive one?

Tricia thought.

……

179. Return [Third Update]

Strangely enough, the crown that was once the center of magic control has now become Elsa's hair ornament, and it only responds to Elsa's commands.

When Aisha handed it to Tricia, Tricia was unable to give it any command.

According to Tricia, it wasn't that there was a problem with the operating procedure, it was simply because Elsa was the "owner" of the crown, just like the identity recognition magic of this sky island teleportation array.

So in the end, it was Elsa who commanded the Sky Island to move towards the town of Weilin.

After the matter came to an end, Elsa took a bath in a building that looked like a strange shape, and immediately felt relaxed all over - although Elsa could remove most of the stains on her body through ultrasound, it turned out that taking a bath was more comfortable and refreshing.

She dressed neatly, changed into a clean nun's uniform, and went to the square.

The square area has been cleaned up by the paladins, and tents have been set up, making it a temporary camp.

At this time, the paladins there lit a bonfire with the red-hot magic stone - there was no firewood, but they still stewed a whole pot with the heat emitted by the magic stone.

Inksha was there to help.

She came from a small fishing village and had only seen the "high-end ingredients" in the hands of the Paladin a few times, so she had no chance to help with the preparation and processing of the ingredients and could only choose to contribute at other times.

"Let me deliver these to Mr. Ryan and the others!"

Inksa took the initiative to carry a few bowls of hot soup and walked towards the central tower. Her small hands held the bowls very steadily, and her cautious look was quite cute.

She regarded this simple thing as an opportunity to train herself, and secretly set restrictions for herself. She had to prevent the soup from spilling without using magic, and every step she took had to be regular and uniform, with her back straight as a pine tree, so as to feel and strengthen the coordination of every part of her body.

The paladins smiled and sent one of their men to accompany Inksa. Their relationship was harmonious. The paladins showed respect for Inksa, but that respect didn't create any estrangement. If they hadn't known that Inksa was the Saint, others would have been unable to discern the difference in status between them.

"Speaking of which, this sky island is really well-prepared. It even has a magical pool that generates clean water."

Aisha sighed and sat down in front of the camp. Although she didn't feel tired, it was always pleasant to rest.

Tricia personally brought a bowl of soup to Elsa.

"After all, for the Winged People back then, this Sky Island was probably their final destination, so naturally they had to find a way to solve the water problem. But the truth is, the water generated directly by magic is not suitable for direct drinking. Otherwise, the unfiltered magic energy will cause harm to the body over time. The accumulation of magic energy will even corrode the earth veins, let alone the human body. Of course, none of this matters to you."

Tricia said, describing what she had discovered on the sky island.

"Every building on this Sky Island bears traces of past human life, but now, those people are nowhere to be found. There's clearly no trace of war... I don't know what happened to Sky Island in the end, but I suspect the magic-rich water was one of the factors that led to its downfall. As for that other aspect, I'm still researching."

For example, the huge crystal supporting the main body of the sky island, Tricia could feel that it was a huge magical device, but she couldn't tell anything just by looking at the outside.

The world is divided into two continents, the East and the West - this is what is known so far, and current human civilization can be traced back to the Western Continent.

According to Tricia's research, this sky island likely appeared after the end of the Age of Gods and before modern human civilization truly emerged from the Western Continent. This places it in the realm of "ancient times" in today's sense, far from reaching the Age of Gods. Therefore, while this magic bears remnants of the Age of Gods, it is also extremely simple and monotonous, far from the brilliant and grandiose magical theories of today.

"In short, Sky Island's magic technology is indeed remarkable, especially its levitation magic. However, their magical theory is strangely immature. The magical water we commonly use has long been produced not directly by magic, but through the use of special magical devices to condense moisture from the air to collect purified water. This way, the water is free of the problem of magic element contamination. But Sky Island has not avoided this."

It’s not something difficult to do, it’s just that the people of Sky Island don’t have this awareness.

"Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that the Winged People have different physiological structures from us humans, which leads to vastly different living habits, but honestly, this possibility is very small."

As Elsa listened to Tricia's analysis, her doubts about Sky Island intensified.

What puzzled her most was the black figure who had destroyed the Winged People civilization. Was that Winged People dead? If not, why didn't he exterminate the entire Winged People clan? Or did he have some other motive?

Also, it’s about the dirty ones.

The winged girl obviously knows something about the black monster. After a while, we will be able to communicate with the girl through Ryan and the others. We must get to know her clearly then.

……

As time passed, the sky island finally stopped over a swamp outside the eastern shallow forest of the western great forest, northwest of Weilin Town.

Tricia teleported back to the ground with Inksa and the paladins, while Aisha jumped down alone.

As for Ryan and the magicians, they stayed on the Sky Island temporarily and continued their language analysis work with the winged girl. The winged girl had been very cooperative with this, and they were also in high spirits - after all, being able to communicate directly with the ancients was a unique opportunity for these scholars. The work did not make them feel tired, but instead made them all full of energy.

Just in case, Tricia left Crow in the square to guard the teleportation array.

Several people returned to Weilin Town.

Fortunately, the town of Weilin remained peaceful during this period. At Tricia's request, the paladins and Inksa did not reveal what happened here to the people in the town, but only reported the situation to the archbishop. Sure enough, the archbishop immediately asked Aisha and Tricia to pass the news back to the Vatican.

They naturally agreed, because this was the plan that Tricia and Aisha had already made.

At the same time, Tricia also used ultra-long-distance communication magic to convey the situation here to the Empress of the Empire in a very concise and clear manner.

180. The Saint's Ceremony [Fourth Update]

"I think this is the end of the black monster issue."

Aisha asked Tricia.

At this time, Elsa and Tricia were walking on the street - they said they were walking, but in fact they were inspecting the situation here to see if there was anything they had missed.

"Are you going to the forest?"

"Well, go search and see if there are any black monsters left behind - if there are, destroy them."

Now that the clues have been gathered, there is no need to continue the meaningless investigation. Elsa does not want those black monsters to continue to spread, as it would be bad if they threaten other cities and areas outside the forest.

If the threat of the black monsters can be resolved sooner, the refugees gathered in Weilin Town will be able to return home sooner.

Tricia naturally noticed Aisha's thoughts.

"How about I go with you this afternoon? Although my strength is far inferior to yours, I still have some confidence in magic." Tricia smiled. "You can rest now. Inksha just came by and said she was going to check on Alice. It would be better if you were there then."

"Is Inksha okay?"

"While we were away, Archbishop Cato has carefully examined Alice's condition and prepared the necessary medicine. So don't worry. Although Inksha hasn't grown up yet, she is a saint after all. Besides, I'm here, and I will help her."

The magic power of the saint is more special than anyone else's, and is infinitely close to the magic power of the goddess. The holy light magic cast by the saint is more gentle and full of vitality than the holy light magic in the hands of the priest, and the most original magic is even enough to repair the trauma of the soul.

The magic of the goddess, this is an innate talent that even Tricia cannot replicate.

It is also the most special place of the saint.

"Ah."

Now that Tricia said so, Aisha naturally felt relieved.

Alice's hidden physical illness has always been a concern for Elsa and the old priest. Now that the saint is here, it is naturally the best chance to cure her.

"But then again, after things here are resolved, the selection of holy nuns in Dammas should begin. Aisha, are you planning to go and take a look?"

"Of course, I have to go and cheer for Vivian."

Elsa herself does not need to participate in the selection, her place is specially given by the Holy See.

With Elsa here, there is no suspense about the position of "Holy Sister" this time. The so-called selection is just to select the holy sisters for the remaining 99 positions, and Dammas will produce some of the candidates, who will be sent to the Holy See for a second round of screening.

Tricia smiled and looked at Aisha. "Actually, I think there's no need to continue selecting this generation of Saint Sisters. Isn't Inksha practicing now?"

"That's true... But speaking of which, apart from the Chief, the other Saint Sisters will be assigned to the Saint's route. Does this mean that the Saint must follow a predetermined route when she practices?"

Elsa felt that there was something inexplicably strange about this arrangement, and Tricia quickly gave her an explanation.

"Well, the Saint's 'cultivation' is, on the one hand, to accumulate experience through increased knowledge and to consolidate strength through actual combat. On the other hand, the Saint's tour itself is a sacred ritual to resonate with the Holy Light. This continent is blessed by the Goddess, and the Saint needs to regain faith in the Holy Light through this method, so that she can gain sufficient strength."

Simply put, "cultivation" is both a practice and a ritual.

The rituals in this world are not just for show like the ones in Elsa's previous life, but real things that can trigger supernatural phenomena.

"So, on the path of cultivation, there are several places that must be visited. These places are hidden along the route, but no one knows their exact location. This is one of the greatest secrets of the Holy See. Not even I, the brave warriors of that time, and the archbishops know about it. The only people who know are the successive popes."

Tricia said seriously.

……

At the same time, the vampire Becky walked aimlessly in the forest.

She was utterly furious because she couldn't find the island. The sky was all the same. How could she possibly find a tiny dot obscured by light magic? But she had no other options. Even if she used the blood mist magic to soar high into the sky, she wouldn't be able to spot the island from the outside unless she was lucky.

At this point, the situation was beyond her ability to resolve on her own.

Before Becky set off, she heard from her subordinates that the Empire and the Church seemed to have sent people here. If Sky Island fell into the hands of humans, it would undoubtedly be an unacceptable loss for her.

The same goes for any vampire.

After thinking about it, Becky began to wonder: Should I find a way to call for some help - such as that mysterious vampire organization?

At worst, I'll just have one less piece of cake. Even though it would be very unacceptable, it's still better than getting nothing after falling into the hands of the Empire and the Church.

As she was thinking this, she suddenly noticed something while staggering. She looked up and saw a small town appearing in the distance outside the shallow forest - it was a human town.

Becky frowned slightly and looked at the shabby-looking town in the distance.

Should we stop by the human town to look for some clues? After all, humans have always lived here, and they've recently been attacked by those black monsters, so they'd naturally know something about what's going on here, right?

So, what if? What if someone has seen that island in the sky?

Or it could be a similar experience - such as a dragon. Becky knew that there was a dragon on Sky Island, and it was the warrior who protected Sky Island.
