"Hmph! Emily, let’s go!"

Lilith immediately dragged Emily out the door, the latter still looking confused.

"Huh? Where are we going?"

"To go shopping, to spend money! Buy a couple of outfits, after all, by tonight, my figure will change!"

"Huh?! With my money?"

After the two women left, Lette returned to the warehouse and brought out a display carved from Demon Crystal, fiddling with what seemed like antenna-like magic devices.

Once everything was set up, he finally turned on the switch.

Ever since he arrived in this fog-shrouded Harbor City, he frequently lost contact with Joanna and Afra.

This feeling was quite different from when it was the Holy Shackles; that occupied the channel, like a busy signal during a call.

Now, the situation in Harbor City was that the signal was weak, so weak that only when the fog dispersed at noon was there a faint signal.

For this reason, Lette had to make a prayer amplifier, which allowed communication for just a short time each day.

Amidst a burst of static noises, a figure appeared on the light screen.

Upon taking a closer look, Lette immediately furrowed his brow.

"Afra! What are you up to! Shoo, shoo!"

"Hey! I am the Holy Light Goddess, after all! Aren’t you being too disrespectful to me, kid!"

"...Ah! My great Holy Light Goddess, is there something you need from me?"

"Lette, Lette...can you give me some pocket money?"

Lette furrowed his brow: "You want pocket money again? Didn’t I give you some last time? Besides, didn’t Joanna give you any this month?"

"I spent it all."

"Are you a money-eating beast or a dispersing god tree? It’s only the start of the month!"

"Oh, I spotted an exquisite Divine Treasure material! If I can get it, I have the confidence..."

Before she finished speaking, Joanna appeared behind her with a smile on her face.

"Lady Goddess, what are you talking about?"

"Qiao Qiao... Sister Joanna, aren’t you handling the Church Court affairs?"

"Lette, don’t give her even one more Divine Coin! She keeps spending money recklessly!"

Lette immediately waved his hand to indicate: "Don’t worry, I won’t give her a single cent."

Joanna clapped her hands: "Divine Blessing, Holy Purity."

With that, two high level female angels descended with wings, kneeling on one knee: "Lady Goddess, we are here."

"Take your goddess away, confine her for three days to reflect properly."

"Yes!"

The two angels, without further ado, lifted Afra and flew away. The poor Holy Light Goddess was still crying out in despair.

"No! That Divine Stone, if I don’t buy it, someone else will! Let me go, I am a Goddess too! Waa...

Lette! Lette!

Buy that stone for me!"

Lette looked resigned: "You could at least tell me which stone it is!"

Unfortunately, the two angels had already spread their wings and soared, Afra’s voice dissipating in the wind.

Joanna appeared on the screen, smiling as she looked at Lette.

"Lette, how are you doing over there?"

"I’m fine; there are a few small troubles, but nothing problematic."

Lette found a chair to sit down: "How should I put it, The Liar Demon’s abilities are strong, but the cost is that fulfilling the conditions is relatively harsh.

He wants to drag the entire harbor into a dream realm, but first, he must blur the boundaries between dream and reality.

The more people here can’t distinguish between reality and fantasy, the closer he is to success.

Fortunately, we arrived relatively early; he’s still quite far from achieving that step.

Moreover, I won’t sit idly by and watch him do such evil deeds."

Joanna nodded repeatedly: "But you also need to be careful, after all, the enemy is very powerful too."

"Don’t worry, I’m not an easy pushover either."

"It’s a pity I can’t really help... Even though I’ve become a God, I still can’t help you."

Lette laughed heartily: "Silly, what you’re doing now is precisely helping me.

Only when the world outside is peaceful can I calmly handle The Liar Demon’s matters here.

If things were going wrong everywhere outside, I wouldn’t be so composed."

"Oh, by the way."

Joanna picked up a letter: "Regarding that matter you asked me to check last time, I’ve already asked about it.

In the harbor city where you are, no girls’ souls have headed to the Nether Sea for the past month."

"As expected, they were sacrificed. Damn it..."

Lette sighed: "I hope there’s still a chance to save their souls."

"Lette..."

"I’m fine."

Joanna twisted her hair: "At times like this, I wish I could be by your side to at least hug you."

Lette smiled warmly: "Save it for later. Once I disperse the fog here and catch The Liar Demon, I’ll find a chance to pray for you to descend to this world."

"Ugh... Sometimes, I’m really envious of Lilith."

Seeing Joanna acting like a little girlfriend, Lette felt warmth in his heart.

"Oh, speaking of which, today we plan to go to the Abyss of Nightmare in the Gap of Dreams, to see if we can release more of Lilith’s sealed parts.

After all, combating The Liar Demon requires her strength."

Joanna, hearing this, showed a knowing smile: "Humph, does she finally have a sense of crisis?"

"It’s to deal with The Liar Demon."

Joanna didn’t continue on that topic but instead spoke about the New Church.

"That Holy Daughter Flander you’ve found for me is really quite good. She has great ambition and capability as well.

Speaking as a mentor for a Holy Daughter apprentice, she’s doing quite well."

"She has talent, but sometimes her mind works a bit slow."

"Oh, right!"

Joanna suddenly clapped her hands: "Let me tell you, the Church Court has recalled all apprentice Saints and Saintesses who were traveling outside."

"Ah?"

"Because you left, didn’t you? I did too... along with Adros’s departure.

Now, in the Holy City, only my brother Taylor and this newly promoted apprentice Saintess Flander remain.

Within the Church Court, there’s quite the shortage of manpower.

The teacher’s health isn’t very good either, so after a discussion between the Red Archbishop and the Black robed Archbishop, the remaining five people elsewhere were called back."

Lette pondered for a moment: "If they’re willing to return, that’s a good thing. But Jerlos and Margaret, I doubt they’ll come back.

The two, one’s an ascetic, the other used to being lazy."

"Jerlos’s ascetic journey is over, so he’s actually on his way back. He was only delayed by other matters, otherwise, he’d have returned before Holy Presence Day.

As for Senior Sister Margaret, she’ll... anyway, she’ll be brought back by the Black Knights.

The remaining three have all expressed that they’ve already started their journey back to the Holy City."

Lette scratched his head: "Then Jerlos and I just missed each other, it’s a shame we couldn’t meet.

Honestly, I haven’t seen the others for a long time either."

Joanna laughed: "Do you miss them? Once you resolve the issues in Harbor City, you can see them when you come back."

Lette smirked: "Those guys are no slouches! I’m sure when the Red Archbishop called them back, he didn’t mention what they were supposed to do in the Holy City.

If they find out they have to work overtime upon returning, they’ll probably run away soon!

Perhaps only Jerlos and Little Barbara might stay.

But that’s not something for me to worry about, let Delman wrack his brains over that!

Oh, by the way, what’s the situation with that Dragon Egg now?"

Joanna shook her head: "According to Master Constant, before Holy Presence Day, that Dragon Egg was almost ready to hatch.

But after that night, it went dormant again.

Now, it’s been placed on the highest level of the Holy Tower’s altar, and high level clergy supplement it daily with Holy Light.

But to hatch, it may still take some time."

Lette nodded slightly: "After all, it temporarily shouldered the duties of the Holy Light Goddess back then, even if not for long, the expenditure might not have been just Holy Light Power.

Next time, suggest to the Church Court to find the Elves and see if they can get some Life Spring water to mix with Holy Water, the effect might be better."

"Oh right, that’s a good idea!"

Joanna specially made a note of it, then rested her face on her hand, looking at Lette with slightly puckered lips, her eyes quickly glossing over.

"Ugh... Lette, I miss you so much."

Seeing this, Lette hurriedly thought of ways to cheer Joanna up. But before he could say much, the image on the Demon Crystal display started to freeze and distort.

"Damn fog..."

Lette patted the display, and seeing no improvement, he sighed helplessly: "Joanna, I need to hang up again."

Joanna sat up straight: "Alright then, take care of yourself, I’m fine."

"Mm-hmm, don’t worry about me, I..."

Before he finished speaking, the Demon Crystal display went dark, and Lette felt his connection with the Holy Light Twin Goddess severed.

"Damn it... this damned fog, I’ll get rid of you sooner or later!"

Lette angrily put away the Demon Crystal display and prayer amplifier, then wandered idly into the courtyard.

Lilith had already taken Emily to the bustling streets of Upper City, leaving him alone at home. So he summoned his Holy Shield · Embrace of the Goddess and Holy Sword Sin Light.

Lette stood in the courtyard and began practicing the combat techniques of a Holy Knight.

With each swing and strike, the Holy Light Fighting Spirit continually washed over the black Holy Shield.

And the platinum patterns on the shield became more and more pronounced.

This was the simplest yet most effective method of Divine Artifact refinement. Even though a Divine Artifact is a reflection of a Holy level Expert’s soul, achieving resonance with the artifact’s soul requires extensive harmonizing and trials.

Especially for non-original artifacts like the Holy Hammer that Taylor and the teacher passed on to him, it needed long periods of harmonization.

Otherwise, its full effect couldn’t be utilized.

Lette had no problems harmonizing with Sin Light, but the newly acquired Divine Blessing Artifact Holy Shield required plenty of practice.

Lette used the Holy Sword to flick a stone into the air. As it fell, he swiftly struck it with the shield.

With a bang, the stone shot out like a cannonball, leaving a fist-sized transparent hole in the wall.

"Hmm! Not bad!"

Lette shook the shield, feeling increasingly proficient. Just as he was about to continue practicing, he heard shouts from outside the general store.

"Excuse me! Is the shop owner here? We’re here to pick up the custom fishing nets!"
