This dragon girl raising system is a bit strange.

At the palace gates, Julia had been waiting for a long time. When she saw Thor arrive, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Thor came out alone, because Ilya had already disappeared.

Ilya's abilities are such that she is adept at splitting souls and also at becoming invisible.

"Let's go, Julia, let's go to the church."

Yulia was a little curious.

She didn't know why she suddenly had to go to church.

Thor told her about the plan and answered her questions.

The two of them only needed to provide some support for Ilya in the backyard of the church.

Soon, the two of them arrived at the church door.

After waiting for a while, a gatekeeper-like man came and opened the gate.

However, Thor was taken aback when he saw the man's appearance.

Isn't that the shop assistant at Duke Mavis's weapons shop the other day?

The shop assistant recognized Thor and lowered his head somewhat awkwardly.

"It's...it's you. I don't think I know you."

The shop assistant pretended not to recognize Thor.

Thor, of course, wouldn't be foolish enough to confess on the spot.

"Yeah, I don't really remember it."

Thor led Julia into the church.

The usually bustling church was now deserted, with only a few muscular men wearing ill-fitting monk's robes.

He couldn't help but sigh, "These people's acting skills are just too bad."

You should at least change into a set of clothes that fit properly.

No wonder Ilya wanted to come here to find out what was going on.

This is so fake.

wrong.

Thordell suddenly thought of something.

What is Ysera doing?

This should be where Ysera is.

Instead of heading to the backyard as planned, Thor went to the separate office that connected to the front hall, where Ysera was supposed to work.

The little knight who was usually guarding the office door was nowhere to be seen; instead, it was Harvey, the weapon shop manager whom they had met once before.

Harvey, also dressed in a noticeably shrunken monk's robe, stood guard in front of the office door.

Since he is guarding this place, it means there must be someone inside the door.

"Could you please move aside, sir?"

Thor had already given them enough face by not revealing the other person's name.

However, the other party was naturally unwilling to back down like that.

Harvey stood in front of the door and reached out to stop Thor.

"You know I can't allow this to happen."

"Oh, really?"

Thor met his gaze.

The atmosphere instantly became tense.

A battle could break out at any moment.

Then, there was a loud crash.

When he wasn't looking, Yulia patted him on the back of the head.

This shot could be fatal.

Harvey collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

The battle was over before it even began.

"Wow, he's so fragile!" Yulia exclaimed.

Thor: "..."

Essentially, it's because Yulia's movements were too fast.

In addition, Harvey probably didn't pay much attention to this unassuming dragon maid.

So he was knocked down without any warning.

The others were also knocked down by Yulia before they could react.

Thor pushed open the door and went into the room.

Sure enough, inside the room, Ysera was lying face down on the table, her hands and feet bound by ropes, unconscious.

Thor stepped forward and helped her untie the ropes.

He shook Isela.

"Hey, wake up."

Isera did not respond.

No matter how Thor shook it, the other party seemed to have no reaction.

Judging from the breathing, the other party is not dead yet.

Thor came up with a plan.

He leaned close to Ysera's ear and said:

"Hello, this is Thor."

"I love you, Miss Saint."

"Um?"

Ysera woke up instantly.

"What?"

"What did you say?"

Thor turned his head and glanced at Julia's fiery gaze behind him.

"It's alright, it's good that you're awake."

Seeing Thor's attitude, Julia breathed a sigh of relief.

Isera then recounted what had just happened.

Not long ago, she was following the Pope's instructions to work diligently in her office when she was ambushed and knocked unconscious here.

She couldn't remember anything that happened after she lost consciousness.

"Did I just hear someone confess their feelings to me?" Isera asked, puzzled.

"Of course not, you're having serious auditory hallucinations." Thor said seriously.

In contrast, Yulia was much more normal.

"Um... speaking of which, shouldn't we go check out the situation in the church's backyard?"

Come to think of it, the plan was supposed to be to help out in the backyard.

However, to be frank, Thor doesn't really care about Illya.

What difference does it make if this woman who once threatened him dies?

Even so, he still rushed to the backyard.

To his surprise, the once incredibly mysterious Ilya was now kneeling on one knee, struggling to breathe, looking as if she were about to suffocate.

A strange green mist filled the air, and in front of Ilya was a treasure chest dug out of the ground. The strange mist seemed to be emanating from the treasure chest.

Clearly, this is a trap.

Thor had no intention of helping the other party.

He took a step back, intending to close the door to block out the green mist of unknown origin.

"Don't go, this poisonous fog has no effect on you."

Ilya's voice was weak and faint.

"This is spirit mist, it's only targeting me."

Thor realized that Ilya wanted to carry out the rescue alone.

However, he was unsure whether the other party was lying.

What if this green mist isn't as non-toxic as she claims?

Soon, he came up with a perfect solution.

"Miss Saint, you just inhaled the mist that caused you to faint. You should have antibodies now. We're counting on you."

"There are clearly two kinds of poisonous fog..." Ysera insisted.

Even so, she knew that Thor had saved her, so without delay, she boldly stepped into the green mist, carried Ilya back to the church hall, and closed the door to block out the mist.

Ilya was not lying; the fog had no effect on ordinary people.

Back in the hall, Ilya gasped for breath, and it took her a while for her breathing to return to normal.

"Damn it, we've fallen for their trap."

"The culprit should be someone from the Mavis family."

"What's going on? How did they know about my abilities? They even specifically arranged for the spirit vine mist to protect me."

Ilya seemed to be having an existential crisis; she didn't remember her identity being exposed.

Thor did not speak.

Yes, what happened?

However, Ilya quickly cheered up.

"Let's hurry back and report to His Majesty."

Her voice was still weak.

"Please take me there."

"Take you there?" Thor didn't understand.

Isn't Ilya the best at hiding?

Wouldn't it be better to just stay invisible and speed back to the castle?

Ilya then explained:

"The fog they've created will nullify my abilities, and it will last for several days."

In other words, Ilya can only be in a true hidden state for the next few days.

The saintess then said, "It's alright, Thor, you take her back. I'll tie up the rest of them."

Since things have come to this, this is the only way.
