I materialized a sci-fi fortress in a magical world.

Chapter 88. Is this my destiny?

While there was still time, Luo Yue quickly cleaned the dusty mage tower before returning to the most valuable meditation room and entering a meditative state in the most orthodox way.

After a while, Celestina and Don Quixote refreshed one after another, and then a melodious voice drifted into Royo's ears from afar: "Protector of the Void, Witness of Civilization, Creator of Mysteries, Incarnation of the Mysterious, Ruler Beyond This World, I hereby chant your name and listen to your response —"

This is the paladin praying to him.

He had previously written about the recruitment process in the announcement; it was quite simple, just relax and recite this mantra.

Luo Yue quickly sensed the mysterious connection between the two and hurriedly marked the other with an [anchor point]. After waiting a moment, a heavy thud was heard from the town square.

"They're here, over there in the square."

Royo quickly led Serishina and the others over, and then, from the perspective of a governor, peered through the mist to get a good look at the new visitor.

It's actually the rare attribute of long, straight black hair that's so rare in this world?

Her long, black hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, with a dark red gradient at the ends. She wore a fishbone-shaped headband and a large conch-shaped hair clip by her ear.

Her looks were undeniably stunning, and in terms of exquisite beauty, she was in no way inferior to Celishina. However, there were two fish-scale-like marks on the corner of her left eye, resembling some kind of unique eye makeup, which added a subtle flaw to her almost perfect face.

But it is precisely this slight imperfection that makes her appear even more radiant and authentic.

She was wearing a black and white dress. The white skirt was so short that it didn't even cover her knees, revealing a pair of long, slender legs clad in black stockings. The stockings were also just the right length short, creating a suggestive and alluring glimpse between the stockings and the skirt.

She also wore some understated accessories: a necklace made of red coral and luminous pearls, and a pearl earring on the ear that wasn't covered by her hair.

In summary, she's pretty, cute, and has an elegant and mysterious aura, making her a perfect candidate to be your girlfriend.

But this time, just like the previous two visitors, they went through the same process, and one of them fainted. He would then have to be sent to Arkham Asylum to lie down.

"How could she wear such a short skirt? This is really—"

Even through the mist, Celishina immediately noticed other people's clothing and began to criticize it.

Don Quixote then asked the question he was most concerned about: "Besides being the youngest paladin, isn't this guy also the princess of the siren? It's said he'll be canonized as a new saint by the Holy See soon—"

This is a very important person, and you actually fooled him—and recruited him? How did you manage that? Were you two on good terms before?

"We only knew each other's names, and it wasn't really a recruitment. I just wrote her a letter, and I didn't expect her to agree so quickly."

Celina answered in a deliberately nonchalant tone, which piqued Royo's curiosity, prompting him to press further, "Just one letter?"

"Yes, I said in the letter that there might be clues to angels and gods here, and the Vatican has been searching for their God for two thousand years. Naturally, they cannot refuse, especially since she is about to become the new saintess, and her most important mission is to find their God."

After hearing Celishina's explanation, Royo had only one thought in his mind: this girl who was a siren, a princess, a paladin, and a saintess seemed very easy to fool.

Based on just a single clue of "maybe," they dare to randomly recite such dubious spells. I wonder if they are really easy to fool, or if they are just too confident?

Or perhaps the spells I made up were too simple and wouldn't easily arouse suspicion or vigilance?

As she was pondering this, Celishina further explained, "It's not as simple as you think—did you notice those unique decorations on her head? As far as I know, those are sacred objects of the Siren race, capable of hearing the so-called 'Melody of Destiny.' She probably relied on this to dare to approach us."

"I see----"

Luo Yue nodded, then said in a pretentious tone, "Then please allow her to rest, Your Excellency."

The next second, the Siren Princess's beautiful body disappeared from the spot and instantly appeared on the hospital bed, bound like a dumpling with leather restraints.

"What am I doing? Where am I? Who am I?"

Haimo opened her eyes groggily, her mind blank as if it had been washed.

After a while, she gradually regained her senses and memory, recalling her previous experiences.

Three days ago, he was ambushed at his residence. A thug dressed in black robes, with his eyebrows and eyes covered, broke in and used his domineering mystical abilities to subdue him and his guards and servants. Then he threw a letter in front of him.

"Follow the instructions in the letter, and do not make a sound, otherwise—"

------

That thug was too powerful; I couldn't beat him at all. He must be an eighth-level attacker.

Fortunately, the other party did not have strong malicious intent; after leaving the letter, they disappeared.

No one was injured; the guards and servants were simply knocked unconscious.

Hai Mo opened the letter and read it, but naturally she didn't believe what was on it, and had no intention of compromising with the criminals.

But at that moment, the Siren clan's sacred artifact reacted, emitting a [Melody of Destiny].

Later, Haimo followed the instructions in the letter and published a job advertisement in the newspaper using the designated anonymous person, which can be regarded as a response of "acceptance".

Then today arrived. Following the instructions in the letter, she bathed and changed her clothes in advance, put on her favorite dress, and wore a pearl necklace and pearl earrings made of coral, dressing up as if she were going to a banquet.

The letter said not to wear anything from the Vatican, as that would be offensive.

Then Haimo locked herself in the meditation room, and after reciting the incantation, began a deep meditation.

Deep meditation is something invented by those unbelievers outside. As a steadfast paladin, Haimo is not very proficient in it and even somewhat resistant to it. He usually practices in the traditional way of the Church.

So she fainted the moment she entered deep meditation.

When she woke up again, she found herself a prisoner, locked in a cell, and tied up like a dumpling.

"Ugh... Why is this happening? Is this my destiny?"

The revelation she received from the relic was to believe in the letter, to believe that it contained her destined future, and to accept it willingly, without resistance.

Haimo actually believed it, and as a result, she was kidnapped.
