I'm really a serious wizard.

Chapter 214 Fighting for God

How did he come along, and why is he acting like he's at home in a place like this?
The beggar Gray instinctively leaned back, and after years of being a beggar, he sensed that something was amiss.

Based on what just happened, this place is not a good place, and the lady called Afra has confirmed this with her actions.

But now, this guy who had previously robbed him of his money, this guy who seemed foolish, rich, and surprisingly easy to bully, was greeting him as if nothing had happened.

What kind of evil and hypocritical person could be so deceitful?
"It's your wallet!"

Miss Snake's tail twitched a few times as she stared thoughtfully at Ron.

She couldn't understand how this mysterious "chosen one of God's mercy," who was directly recognized by the matriarch and even more favored than herself, could have had her wallet stolen.

In the pitch-black reception room, Ron met Afra's gaze and clearly realized something as well.

The blond boy showed no embarrassment as he stepped forward and forcefully patted the beggar on the shoulder.

"This is the most skilled robber I've ever seen; he actually managed to steal my wallet!"

"It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was chosen by the god of robbery."

He looked serious, and everything he said was true.

After all, Ron couldn't possibly say that he was just careless and caught off guard, could he?

This would not only shatter the halo of "compassionate chosen one," but it also wouldn't be very prestigious to say it out loud.

"I see!"

Even 1346 years later, talent remains very important.

"Truly, the mistress's mercy shines forth!"

Afra sighed softly, her tail tip wagging excitedly back and forth on the ground.

She was determined to nurture the other person properly and bring out their true potential.

"What's your name?"

"Sir, my name is Gray."

Mr. Beggar had a bad feeling, as if he had been dragged into a giant pit by the beastly Ron.

"Great, Gray, from now on you're one of us."

Afra swam around Gray with her snake tail, saying, "Later, you'll come with us to the Papacy to see Cyrus VII."

"As a newcomer, you need to build up your courage. If you get the chance, try to snatch the Pope's scepter."

Ah, me!?

"Big, my lord."

The beggar Gray instinctively wanted to refuse this job, which sounded extremely dangerous.

He's just a beggar; he's alright at begging, but as for robbing...
"What? You don't want to?"

Seeing that the newcomer dared to refuse her orders, Afra's voice immediately turned cold, releasing a dangerous aura like that of a venomous snake.

"I'm willing, I'm willing," said the beggar Gray, his eyes filled with resentment as he looked at the mastermind behind the scenes.

Given the cruel and honorable way of doing bad things here, he simply couldn't imagine how heartless Ron was, who had gotten himself into such a mess.

It's very likely that he had already planned it when he snatched the wallet.

And the chosen one of the gods of robbery? Where in the world is there a god of robbery?
Ron had no idea what the beggar was thinking.

He was simply pleased that he had done another good deed and saved a poor person from being bullied.

The boy patted the beggar's shoulder hard, making him stumble, then came to the snake woman's side, turned his head, and said:
"To see Cyrus VII?"

When Ron received the request to meet, he suspected that the Order of Pain had learned of the Holy See's important secrets and was preparing to do something drastic to him.

I never expected that Miss Snake would summon him to meet with King Cyrus VII. Given our status, this isn't appropriate.
Ron is a low-key person and doesn't like to do anything too flashy.

Upon hearing this, Afra tapped the table twice with the tip of her tail and said:
“Well, Cyrus VII only said that he wanted to seize the temple from us, and at the same time wanted to know a secret within the Order involving the ‘Matriarch’.”

A certain temple was seized?

Does it involve the secret of the "Mother of Compassion"?

Wait, Ron realized what Afra said instantly.

"Didn't you have a grudge against Hainette, which is why you went to assassinate Keton III?"

His questioning tone and gaze were undisguised, causing the snake woman's tail tip to freeze in place, realizing that she seemed, perhaps, possibly had let something slip.

"Of course there are contradictions!"

"But there are also some additional purposes."

Afra's gaze wandered, then she became assertive again.

"I'm doing this for the order, for the mistress!"

"I'm nothing like you. Not only do you live a carefree life, but you also have the mistress's favor and have even seen the mistress naked. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were the mistress's wrath."

"Well, let's not talk about this anymore."

Ron blushed and quickly interrupted the increasingly off-topic conversation, continuing to stare at the snake woman with a questioning gaze.

Within a minute, under the gaze of the high-ranking chosen one, Afra inevitably succumbed.

"You should know about my innate talent."

As she spoke, the snake woman moved closer to Ron, her emerald vertical pupils gleaming with a ghostly green light.

"Yes, it can petrify enemies; it's an extremely powerful force."

It was so powerful that it took the combined efforts of his good friend Heinleit, his grandmother Fiona, and even the Pope to defeat it.

Ron silently added in his mind.

"What you see is only the surface. This is actually a deprivation of life. As soon as I see it, it will become a dead thing."

"Similarly, this ability can be given in return, not only by taking it away."

Afra slowly swam beside Ron and whispered in his ear.

The gift and the deprivation of life?

At that moment, Ron suddenly remembered his experience in the temple and blurted out:
"Are you after the divine qualities within the temple?"

"you know!?"

Afra was stunned for a moment, her words filled with disbelief, but she quickly recovered and explained:
"The divine qualities in the temple have not yet been reintroduced into the concept. I just want to seize them and offer them to the matriarch, while also taking them as a reference."

"I am progressing too slowly on this path, and I am still unable to reach the level of a demigod. If I force it, I am afraid I will be swallowed up by 'life'."

Then you probably have no chance.
Upon hearing Miss Snake's explanation, Ron silently scoffed in his heart.

He knew how troublesome the things in the temple were; Elena was only dealing with a part of the sapling on the body of the Enlightened God, and was currently lying in the infirmary expelling the pollution.
Grandma Fiona, being the proud and aloof one, didn't utter a sound after entering the temple. If it weren't for the temple suddenly exerting its power and the sapling quickly adapting to the side effects of the "Holy Light Healing Spell," it probably would have been ravaged hundreds of times over.

Thoughts raced through Ron's mind, and he quickly realized Afra's other purpose.

He cleared his throat and asked, feigning curiosity:

Does the matriarch need the divinity of 'life'?

At present, whether it is the Holy Light God, the Enlightened God, or the Compassionate Mother, they all possess six divine concepts.

Therefore, in Ron's mind, as long as he could gather six divine traits, he could achieve the realm of a perfect god.
