Chapter 102 Did I guess wrong?

Celia already knew that Enarse's parents were dead.

But she didn't know how she died; Enarse never said, and no one else knew either.

The supervisor may know, but the supervisor is unlikely to tell.

Now, upon hearing Enars reveal the cause of her parents' deaths, Celia paused for a moment, then couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you seek help from the sheriff or the temple?"

Aina chuckled softly: "Every time we encountered them, Father would seek help from the sheriff and the temple, but at most, those thugs who bullied our family would only get a verbal reprimand."

"After they beat your parents to death, did they only get a verbal reprimand?"

"They were arrested, but... less than a month later, I saw them in town again. Later I found out that the gang behind them was closely related to the town's lord; they were all in cahoots, and their imprisonment was just for show."

“At that time, I thought, how wonderful it would be if I had power. With power, I could protect my parents, and I wouldn’t have to live in fear anymore, and I wouldn’t be afraid to go home.”

Celia stared intently at her: "Now that you have power, have you gone back?"

Enarse shook her head. "No, I need to make sure I can kill them all."

As she spoke, she looked at Celia, "Celia, you are the Holy Maiden of the Holy Court, will you stop me from going back to kill those people?"

Celia blinked. "What did you say? I didn't hear you. Say it again."

Aina's smile, which she hadn't shown in a long time, appeared. "I said I'll go home for a bit, and I'll return the gold coins to you when I get back."

Celia said, "Whenever you want to go home, you can go home. Do you want me to go with you? If you get bullied, I'll stand up for you."

“No.” Ainars shook her head. “I can go by myself. From the time my parents died until I entered the Holy Magic Academy, I have evaded their search countless times. I can handle it.”

Celia nodded, not dwelling on the matter, and asked another important question: "What happened next? How did you sign the master-servant contract with Northon?"

Enarse was lost in her memories and slowly said, "After he saved me that time, he gave me his bracelet star number and told me to contact him if I was bullied again."

"I didn't contact him before my parents died because he was a nobleman, the same kind of nobleman as the town lord. I was afraid he was just playing with me and would sell me to the mafia."

"After my parents died, I repeatedly evaded capture by gangsters. I had less and less money on me. When I had only 10 copper coins left, I used them to call his number."

"He came with his men, and after I was discovered by gangsters again, he and his men drove the gangsters away, rescued me, and gave me two choices: continue to wander, or become his follower."

Enarse looked out the window, watching the buildings rushing past.

"I've heard that many nobles like to first destroy people's families and then force them to sign slave contracts and become their slaves."

“I don’t know if Norsen was like that, but I do know that if he had pulled out a slave contract or the lowest form of master-servant contract, I would have stabbed him to death with the knife I had on me.”

"But he gave me a master-follower contract, a master-follower contract with a sorcerer, which meant that I could become a sorcerer with his support and then become his follower as a noble sorcerer. I accepted."

"He told me that he would not help me take revenge personally. If I wanted revenge, I should learn magic and take revenge with my own hands."

Celia listened quietly as she recounted her experiences over the years.

As she continued her story, she gradually became suspicious.

Based on Aynars's account of her home being harassed by thugs until Norsen appeared, Norsen is a suspect.

Because many nobles genuinely enjoy ruining people's families and then feigning help, while actually forcing them to sign master-servant contracts or even slave contracts.

The Holy Court has no control over such "voluntary" contracts, because the other party will certainly not take action on their own, but will instead rely on other unrelated forces, such as other nobles or gangs.

There's no way to deal with a bunch of nobles playing these games among themselves.

As for why the nobles who personally carried out the act were not punished... Celia didn't know either.

It's likely that the nobles were outwardly well-behaved, while the victims have returned to dust.

The girl's fist slowly clenched.

Nobles and such.

They all deserve to be wiped out!
On the other hand, was Norsen's success really just a coincidence?
It was probably just a coincidence.

After all, no one would be foolish enough to choose a sorcerer to follow and then accidentally cause their family to be destroyed, right?

Following a sorcerer is different from following an ordinary servant or slave; it requires investing resources to cultivate them, and you can't just tell them to fend for themselves.

Wait!

Since Enarse has become the other party's follower mage, why does she usually act so poor?
And they only got the four-handed puppet right before the end of the semester.

After asking the question, Ainars said, "I don't want to owe him too much, so I usually refuse his money. Apart from the monthly fee for following the sorcerer, I haven't asked him for anything."

"That's it."

Celia felt that Enarse was a bit too ambitious; since they had already signed the contract, she should take full advantage of it.

However, following a sorcerer is more like being a lifetime employee than a servant. They have more freedom, higher pay, and can also gain the respect and training of nobles.

The servants, on the other hand, received only meager wages and endured beatings and scoldings without complaint.

Slaves are another story; they are the property of slave owners, and whether to kill or torture them depends entirely on the slave owners' mood.

From Enarse's words, Celia could tell that Norsen treated Enarse well.

"Could it be that Norsen is a good person?" Celia wondered.

It doesn't seem like it.

However, his brother Mil was a fool, not a good person, but not entirely bad either.

Just as Celia was thinking this, Ross's voice suddenly came:
"Your friend withheld some information; she didn't tell us everything."

"Huh? What is she hiding?" Celia asked hurriedly.

"I'm not the god of fate, how would I know?"

"Huh? You didn't know? I thought Lord Ross was all-knowing and all-powerful..."

Ross rolled his eyes and didn't say anything.

How could someone who is omniscient and omnipotent be sealed away by the twelve main gods?
I may know a little more and have a slightly higher combat strength.

In the Starfall universe, there are no powerful figures who manipulate timelines. The gods' authority over time can only stop or accelerate time, but cannot reverse it.

The so-called time-stopping is actually just imprisoning people, and the acceleration doesn't speed up the time of the entire world, but rather accelerates the time of the target, making them age faster, etc. It doesn't really count as a time ability; many gods can do that.

"However, one of your speculations may be correct."

"What speculation?"

"The culprit who caused the destruction of Ainars' family may be Norsen."
