I, the Holy Maiden of Light, tear apart the Outer Gods.

The guard at the gate waved his hand. "Don't tell me this is a decision from above. Anyway, we're not letting you in."

Casdale: "..."

Ange suddenly remembered that when Gatanottoa mentioned Kastal before, Kastal had appeared at the Blacksmith Guild and seemed to have been harassing some dwarf girl...

Thinking of this, Ange glanced at Kastal, then silently moved two steps to the side, getting a little further away from Kastal.

Upon witnessing this scene, Castile was on the verge of tears.

Kastal, who never played by the rules, immediately became emboldened and shouted at the top of his lungs into the guild:

"Taber! You old bastard, get out here right now! If you don't come out, I'll tear your guild down!"

P.S.: Chapter 20 was deleted... I haven't written much lately either. Is it because this mother and daughter are too despicable?

P.S.: Here's a picture of me in women's clothing as compensation, okay? Remember to subscribe to that picture later~ (If you don't have it yet, refresh the page in a bit).

P.S.: My crossdressing attempt was rejected, probably because it was too erotic?

Chapter 23, Section 127: I'll never work overtime in my life!

The dwarf guarding the gate quickly stepped forward to try and dissuade Kasdar.

After all, it is indeed somewhat indecent to have a woman shouting and yelling at the guild entrance.

But as soon as he took a step forward, he felt a gust of wind blow past him, and when he looked at Kastal again, an old dwarf had appeared in front of her at some point.

Despite being an elderly man, the muscles exposed under his short sleeves were quite exaggerated, as if they were about to burst out of his bronze skin at any moment, giving him a powerful appearance.

"Casdale!? What are you doing here?" The old man looked at Casdale, a hint of confusion flashing in his bronze eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a look of disdain. "Whatever you want to do, I definitely won't allow it. If you have nothing to do, get out of here and don't cause trouble for my guild."

Casdale chuckled, "Don't be so formal~ We haven't seen each other for quite a while now, and you're trying to send me away as soon as we meet? Is that really okay?"

Whether it was Kastel's words that touched a nerve with the old man or not, the veins on the old man's forehead bulged. "How dare you say that?! The time before last, you said the same thing, and then you stole the artifact I had just forged from me."

"Uh... well, I just wanted to test the effects of the artifact for you. After all, artifacts are so dangerous. If they don't work well, it could damage your reputation or hurt someone, which would affect you."

"What about the time before last, when you tested your artifact in my guild and ended up blowing up most of it?"

"Well... in the end, no one got hurt, and I already compensated you, right..."

"And what about last time? You not only carved 'I was here' on my forging hammer, but you also flirted with my female apprentice!"

"Cough cough..."

Castells was speechless.

She even noticed that her daughter had quietly moved a few steps away from her again.

Although it was only a few small steps, it caused her great emotional distress.

"Don't worry, I absolutely, positively, positively won't cause any trouble this time! And look, my daughter is still here, so please give me some face~" Kastel nudged the old man's arm and whispered.

"Your daughter?"

The old man was taken aback. Only then did he notice Ange and Cthulhu, who had been standing to his side.

Angel's signature long blonde hair and light blue eyes make her easily recognizable as Castor's daughter.

"You must be Anjie, the current Holy Maiden of Light?" The old man stepped forward and looked Anjie up and down.

Anjie could roughly guess the old man's identity, and immediately her tone became more respectful, with a professional and sweet smile on her face, "Hello, Grandpa Taber. When I was in church, I often heard the chief judge and others mention you, saying that you are a responsible and capable president. Now that I've met you, it's truly well-deserved."

Although this boast was somewhat embarrassing.

But Tabor surprisingly fell for it.

His gaze towards Anjie softened considerably. "Not bad, not bad, you're much better at talking than your mother."

Kastal stepped forward at the opportune moment, "I'm here for my precious daughter. She recently acquired a weapon, but it has a slight flaw, so I was wondering if you could help her improve it. Don't worry, I've prepared all the materials."

Ange also cooperated by looking at Taber with a hopeful expression.

Taber must be a soft-hearted person, otherwise he wouldn't have been deceived by Castel so many times.

Sure enough, under Ange's cute charm offensive, Taber succumbed to her charm in no time.

"Alright, alright." Taber waved his hand and said helplessly, "What kind of weapon do you want? What kind of shape do you want it to be? Make it clear in advance. If it's too difficult, I won't agree even if you keep pestering me."

Kastal smiled sheepishly, "It's not a difficult problem. I just want you to modify the necromancer's artifact a little bit and turn it into a light artifact."

Taber's gaze suddenly turned strange.

After a moment of silence, he slowly asked, "Are you... serious?"

"Ah."

"Oh... goodbye!"

Taber turned to leave.

But he was grabbed by Castel after taking only two steps.

"It's just modifying the attributes of an artifact! You can do it, why are you being so stingy!" Kastel looked at Tabor with dissatisfaction.

Tabor's lips twitched violently. "It's not a question of whether it's possible or not... it's a very special kind of thing. Even if I could do it, do you know how long it would take me?! A whole month! And that's a whole month of a job with full-time lunch breaks, 9 to 6, and no paid leave!"

Kastal snorted coldly, "It's just asking you to work overtime! Now you dare not work overtime, I really don't know what you want to ask for in the future? I don't care, you have to improve this artifact for me today, or I will dismantle your guild."

She had known Tabor for a long time and was naturally very familiar with his abilities.

As the guild master of the Forging Guild, Tabor's forging skills are undoubtedly the most powerful in the entire world, bar none.

Moreover, although he possesses the ability to forge divine artifacts, the success rate of forging them is very low.

Although he has forged countless divine artifacts, considering his age of several hundred years, it can be calculated that it takes him about seventy or eighty years to forge one such artifact.

Moreover, the divine artifacts forged are generally not as good as those that are automatically created by heaven and earth, but those are still considered highly sought-after treasures.

However, this powerful figure, who possesses the ability to forge divine artifacts, actually detests working overtime. Getting him to work overtime is even more difficult than getting him to die.

Upon hearing Casdale's threat, Tabor sneered and sat down on the spot. "Go ahead and blow it up. It's not like it's the first time we've been bombed. At worst, I'll just send the IOU for the repairs to the Church of Light and have them reimburse me."

Kasper was also gritting his teeth, but he couldn't do anything about Tabor.

Just then, Ange walked over slowly, lifted her skirt, and squatted down next to Taber. "Grandpa Taber, I know this might be a bit difficult for you."

Taber grunted, but his attitude towards Ange remained gentle. "If you know I'm in a difficult position, then don't try to persuade me."

Anjie nodded seriously, "Don't worry, I won't try to persuade you. After all, we need your help. Whether you want to do it or not is entirely your right, and we have no reason to force you."

"Hmph, at least you're reasonable, little girl."

"I'm here to talk to you about something else. I heard you're promoting an eight-hour workday and a two-day weekend, right? I think your idea makes a lot of sense, and I happen to have a few personal insights of my own. Shall we have a good chat?"

Ange watched with delight as a look of surprise flashed in Tabor's eyes.

"Hey, if you talk about this, I won't be sleepy anymore!"

"Well then, let's go over there and talk."

As she spoke, Ange pulled out a small red book from somewhere and gave Tabor a meaningful smile.

Casdale didn't know what Angel had said to Taber.

All that is known is that after two hours of friendly conversation, Taber walked over with a radiant face.

In a daze, Castells seemed to see a red flag fluttering behind Taber.

Taber looked at Ange with adoration, "Holy Maiden, I believe that great ideal you told me about will definitely come true! To express my support for you, I want to... cough cough, I want to perfect your divine artifact!"

"Well done, Xiao Ta! The organization will remember your contributions. Keep up the good work!"

"Yes!!!"

Seeing Tabor return to the guild excitedly, Kastal asked with a strange look, "You...brainwashed him?"

"Hey, how can you call it brainwashing?" Ange retorted seriously, "It's called promoting great ideas!"

"...walk slowly..."

P.S.: The beautiful, lovely, intelligent, kind, and pure author commands you to vote with monthly tickets or razor blades!

Chapter 24, Section 128: The Shaman of the Ringing Serpent

Ange had assumed that Kasdal would stay in Qazadoom until the artifact was perfected.

But she had just handed the artifact to Tabor when she left Kazadoom with Ange without giving him any time to rest or regroup.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Ange asked, looking at Casdale with a puzzled expression.

Ever since she met Castel, he always seemed to be in a hurry, as if something was chasing her.

Kastal scratched the back of his head and looked away. "I just wanted to get things sorted out as soon as possible. Didn't you say you wanted to go back to the Holy Church in the capital soon? I was just worried about taking up your time."

“…I’ll just take it seriously.” Ange stared at Casdale for a long time, then looked away in boredom, shrugged, and said helplessly.

Cthulhu, on the other hand, seemed to know something. He glanced at Castor with a mocking look and then snorted coldly.

However, she did not intend to explain herself.

Meanwhile, on the morning of the third day after Kasdal and his two companions left Qazadoom, the hall of the Blacksmith Guild was packed with beautiful women who came in droves.

Some people who wanted to get rid of the weapon-forging guild were initially angry that these suddenly appearing women not only didn't buy weapons, but also occupied the hall space, preventing them from buying them.

However, some sharp-eyed people recognized the identities of several of the girls and then fell silent.

With just a glance, they spotted several nobles and even high-ranking religious figures...

Heaven knows why these high-ranking young women would all gather at the Forging Guild.

As a result, rumors spread throughout Qazadoom.

The person most troubled by this situation was naturally Tabor, the guild leader of the blacksmithing guild.

"Your Holiness the Pope of Light, Your Holiness the Saintess of Darkness, Your Holiness the Saintess of Nature, Princess Sophia, Prince Noah..."
