The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

A "wild monk" refers to a monk who has no formal lineage or lineage.

In the Magic Empire, wild mages are simply a synonym for those without noble titles, backgrounds, or foundations.

However, in the Yara Empire, where the temple controls all legitimate magical resources, "wild mage" refers to a blasphemer who steals the authority of the God of Light, a follower of demons, and is treated the same as a witch from the Age of Divine Descent.

The best destination for the wild mages of the Yara Empire to flee is the Magic Empire to the west.

Within the Magic Empire, in any kingdom or duchy, mages receive noble treatment, and even mage apprentices are entitled to basic respect.

Why would anyone run southeast? This area not only has the Black Forest shrouded in the power of death, but also the Chaotic Domain, the most chaotic place on the entire continent. It's definitely not a place an ordinary human mage apprentice should go.

Something unusual must be wrong. Humans are second only to goblins in cunning. Goblins only cheat people out of money, but humans will cheat people out of their lives.

For a moment, Sylph, Vasita, and Lilith were filled with thoughts of the tricks humans had used to harm witches in the past, and their expressions turned grim.

Moran quickly said, "It's not a conspiracy. She was originally going to the Magic Empire, but... she has no sense of direction..."

"Directionally challenged?" Lilith, Sylph, and Vasita looked puzzled.

"Her sense of direction is terrible. She can only distinguish up from down, not east, west, south, north, up, down, left, and right," Moran said.

"..."

Lilith looked at the human girl with a hint of admiration: "It's really remarkable that she's survived until now."

"There are people who can't even tell left from right! How did she grow up to be so big?" Vasita exclaimed in surprise.

"Besides being terrible with directions, she also has a kind of intuitive luck," Moran said, finding it quite amazing.

This human girl is named Greta. Although she has no sense of direction, as long as she follows her intuition while lost, even if the result is different from what she initially expected, it will still be a good outcome.

When she was a child, she received the blessing of the God of Light during her baptism at the temple, which gave her the opportunity to study in the temple's preparatory saints class.

Moran saw in her memories the baptisms and blessings, which were actually tests of magical talent and initial spiritual power.

It is a method used by temples to recruit people with magical talent.

The temple's preparatory saint class is the temple's training and brainwashing process for newcomers.

They were learning doctrines that magic was a gift from God and that practicing magic on one's own would lead to falling into the devil's trap.

Only after years of brainwashing and becoming a faithful follower of the God of Light can one receive the God's second blessing, gain divine magical abilities, become a true temple saint, and be qualified to access divinely bestowed magical knowledge.

Greta, however, was an anomaly. Despite the daily brainwashing at the temple, she did not develop boundless reverence for the God of Light. Instead, the closer she got to the second blessing, the more uneasy she felt.

This unease led her to follow her intuition and leave the temple on the day of blessing.

He got lost as soon as he left the temple and fell into the sewers. While wandering around aimlessly in the sewers, he discovered the remains of a mage from a magical empire, as well as the spellbook he left behind.

From this book, she learned the true source of magic and the reason for her inner unease.

The second blessing is not a blessing of magical abilities, but an adventure in which one entrusts one's life to the temple.

Her initial mental strength was quite good. During the time she was lost in the sewers and couldn't find the exit, she successfully meditated using a magic book she found, and even successfully constructed the spell structure of several apprentice-level spells.

Using only a few apprentice-level spells, she managed to dig through the sewers before emerging. After she left, the dug-through sewers were discovered, revealing residual, abnormally concentrated earth elemental energy. This led the temple to discover the presence of a wild mage, prompting a city-wide manhunt for her.

However, by this time, she had already followed her intuition about directions from when she got lost and left the city.

She originally wanted to go to the Magic Empire, but she had no sense of direction and thought she was going west when she was actually going south.

Even the temple's pursuers headed west.

Greta got lost and wandered in a bizarre way to the town of Mino.

Even in the wild, she always managed to avoid deadly dangers by relying on her intuition when she was lost.

The biggest hardship she endured along the way was hunger, but whenever she was on the verge of starvation, she always managed to find food and escape danger.

Even when she ran into the Black Forest because the temple's pursuers arrived, she was able to always manage to avoid the places with mutated black dead trees.

If Moran hadn't checked her memories, she would never have believed that someone could be so lucky.

Lilith, Vasita, and Sylph were also very surprised when they heard this.

“Isn’t she a human being, or a witch of blessings?” Vasita said.

“They must be human. They don’t have any energy aura or a familiar bloodline connection,” Sylph said.

"Moran, is her condition stable now?" Lilith asked.

"She's fine! She wasn't seriously injured to begin with; she just couldn't withstand such intense death energy," Moran said.

"That's good!" Lilith took out the Bloodthirsty Needle. "I'll draw two vials of her blood for analysis to see if she's truly a pure human. If this lucky intuition comes from her bloodline, it might even reveal a new bloodline ability!"

"..." Moran could tell from the interest in her eyes that she wasn't joking. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Go ahead and draw it! You can replenish her blood after you're done."

She was also a little curious about where this lucky intuition came from.

Anyway, drawing some blood won't kill her.

"So what do we do now?" Sylph asked. "She sounds unlucky, not a bad person. If we leave her alone, she'll eventually be turned into a real corpse by the power of death. Even if she has a lucky intuition, it will be difficult for her to get out of the depths of the Black Forest on her own."

“Aren’t we going to the Duchy of Lance? Why don’t we just let her sleep first, and then abandon her once we get there? That way she should survive, and we won’t expose our identities,” Vasita suggested.

Since she's not a bad person and is a human woman, giving her a ride won't cause much trouble.

“That’s good. I also have enough time to study her blood,” Lilith said.

Seeing that Moran hadn't spoken, they sought her opinion.

“I’m thinking, should we test her and make her our first human contractor?”

Moran said, "If she's suitable, we can stay behind the scenes after she goes to the Duchy of Lance, and let her develop her network. She's a real human and has this strange intuition for good luck; it might work wonders."

"How will they test you?" Vasita, Sylph, and Lilith all looked at her curiously. (End of Chapter)
