Magical girl? She got tricked into this!

She performed the gesture of worship again, silently praying in her heart: "Chaos, if you really exist, please help me leave this world and return home."

After waiting for a while but nothing happened, Ando Meiko said regretfully: "It seems that Chaos doesn't think my wish is very interesting. What a pity."

"I'm a little curious about what wish you made."

"Hahaha, it's just a little regretful thing, nothing much to say, but it would be great if it could really come true."

Of course, although her expression showed some regret, she actually did not have such feelings in her heart. As the saying goes, it is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others. If she could go home by making a wish, then what was the point of her hard work along the way over the past few months?

After waiting for a long time, a believer in a white robe came over. Seeing this, Melinda leaned over to Anten Meizi's ear and whispered, "This is the White Cardinal, whose status is second only to the Red Cardinal."

"I understand." Meiko Anten secretly gave Melinda a thumbs up. If she hadn't said that, she would have thought that this person was just an ordinary believer who was delivering messages.

The white cardinal came up to the two and told them the words of the red cardinal and the Pope: "The Pope sent me to pass on a message. He said that if you are willing to stay here for one night and undergo the purification ceremony, he will receive you."

Melinda looked at Anten Meiko, who nodded slightly. "If it's just one day, that's fine. But what is the purification ceremony?"

After receiving the answer from Anten Meizi, the Cardinal in White hurriedly turned around and left, while Melinda answered the latter's doubts that she had just raised.

"The purification ceremony is a must-do before meeting His Holiness the Pope. It's essentially just a group of professionals giving you a bath."

"Could they be a group of grown men?" asked An Teng Meizi worriedly.

If it was just taking a shower, it wouldn't be a big deal, but if a group of men suddenly broke in, even just thinking about it would make Anten Meiko frown.

Isn't this definitely fan-made content? Of course, she used to like watching that, but liking it was one thing, and she never thought of herself as the heroine in it.

"Hahaha." Hearing Anten Meizi's concerns, Melinda couldn't help but laugh softly. "Don't worry, there are male and female purification personnel. Women will have female believers help them perform the ceremony, and men will have male believers help them perform the ceremony."

"I see." After listening to Melinda's explanation, Anten Meizi finally breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't have to carry her luggage and leave the temple overnight.

Beth and the other two who were waiting on the other side had learned about her situation through headphones. After discussing with each other, they did not go back to the hotel prepared for them by Melinda, but rented a room in the hotel closest to the city gate.

As for Anten Meiko, she was sitting in the main hall, looking up at the statue without moving. While maintaining this posture, her consciousness had actually already sunk into her own consciousness space, repeatedly checking the recorded route to the temple.

The information about the underground river that Beth and the others had inquired about was useful, and she did discover the route from the temple to the underground river.

There is a well in the middle of the hall. There is a channel in the middle of the well water. If you swim into this channel, you will enter a cave space.

The end of this cave space is an underground river connected to the outer moat. If you escape from here, you can really do it without anyone noticing.

The one-kilometer diameter detection range of the Moyu radar is enough to cover the entire temple. The interior space here is large but very spacious. It is not as complicated as the imperial castles of other countries, so there are many escape routes.

However, there was only one room filled with imperceptible darkness, just like an unexplored map in the game, covered by a fog.

"Ruby, hey, Ruby?"

The sudden voice in her ear made Meiko Anten stop exploring the temple model in her consciousness space. She returned her consciousness to her body and turned to look at Melinda beside her.

"what happened?"

Melinda rolled her eyes and said, "What else? You've been staring at the statue all day, not eating or drinking, and not moving at all. You're even more devout than those devout believers."

Looking up through the stained glass window, Anten Meiko realized that it was already night, and the few believers in the hall had already left quietly.

"A believer just came over and told me it's almost time for purification. You haven't eaten all day. Do you want to go get something to eat first?"

"Okay, I feel a little hungry too." Meiko Anten agreed and went to the temple's dining hall with Melinda for dinner.

The food in the temple is provided for believers, and it is actually not very good, but both of them have experienced the hardships of cross-border delivery, so naturally they are not particular about the food.

After a delicious meal, they returned to the hall under the guidance of the waiting female believers, and came to a large room in the aisle on the other side.

This room was visited by Meiko Anten when she was exploring the temple model. In the middle of the room there was a luxurious bath that could accommodate dozens of people.

"Please take off your clothes." The female believer reminded before entering the bath.

Meiko Anten and Melinda took off their clothes. Meiko Anten was a little curious and asked, "Melinda, are you going to see the Pope with me tomorrow?"

Melinda nodded as she continued what she was doing. "Yeah, after all, there aren't many opportunities like this. I'd definitely like to see him if I could."

She folded her clothes and put them aside, then turned around to look at Anten Meiko. At that moment, she was stunned and her eyes were wide open.

Her muscles are as white as cream and her skin is as white as snow. Her breasts are huge, straight and round, which do not conflict with her perfectly shaped waist. She is neither thin nor fat as a whole, and her upper and lower body present a perfect golden ratio. The vague sense of flesh becomes an unparalleled finishing touch.

This is comparable to something created by God. At this moment, Melinda couldn't help but sigh, is there really such a perfect body in this world?

Volume 7: A Strange Journey to Another World: Chapter 128: Bargaining Chips

Meiko Ando noticed Melinda's gaze and turned to look at her as well. After all, she couldn't stand being seen. "What are you looking at?"

"I didn't expect your body to be so perfect, it's like it was created by God." Melinda expressed her feelings and praised him without reservation.

"Your own is also very good, why are you only talking about me?" Even she couldn't help but blush when she was praised like this.

Melinda's body is very toned, with each part being neither too big nor too small and very well-proportioned, appearing natural. Some of her muscles are clearly defined and well-defined, giving her a sense of wild beauty, but her skin is smooth and delicate, without a trace of roughness or exercise.

Combined with her beautiful blonde and blue-eyed appearance, she is simply the best spokesperson for "angel face, devil body".

"Hehe, let's just admire each other. If you keep staring at me, my face will turn red." Ando Meiko waved her hand, looked away, and turned around, blocking Melinda's sight with her smooth back.

At this time, more than a dozen believers in blue robes walked in. They closed the door, took off all their restraints at the door, and gathered around Melinda and Ando Meiko.

She bowed slightly to them and said, "Guests, we are the purgatory women who have come to purify you. Please stand face to face and leave everything to us."

The two agreed to go into the water together. Although there was mist floating on the surface of the pool, the water temperature was just right and it was not scalding, so people immediately had physical reflexes.

They stood facing each other at a distance, and Melinda stared at Ando Meiko with burning eyes, not hiding her admiration and scrutiny.

This seemingly aggressive gaze made Ando Meiko's scalp tingle. She was a little horrified for a moment, and kept muttering in her heart: "What's wrong with this Melinda? She has been staring at me since just now... Is she a ketone? Wait... It seems that I am also a... No, no, I... I am clearly a..."

What am I?

For a moment, her thoughts were in turmoil, one after another. Ando Meiko was so excited that her mind was boiling, and her missing memories kept running wild, making it difficult for her to recall many things for a while.

Forget it, just look at it, but I can’t suffer any loss. If you look at me, I will look back!

She finally made up her mind, raised her head, and stared at Melinda motionlessly, as if she was determined to fight her to the death.

However, after a while, Ando Meiko was defeated and twisted her body to try to get rid of her gaze, but after being reminded by the purgators not to move, she could only endure it and stood up again with a blushing face.

How could the aliens here be? Shouldn't the technology here be feudal and slave? Why are Beth and Melinda so open-minded? Could it be because we're the same gender?

Under such intense gazes, Ando Meiko and her partner finally finished cleaning themselves, that is, taking a bath with the help of others. She jumped up like a desperado trying to escape from death, quickly dried her body, put on clean clothes and left this place of trouble.

A female believer who had left early was waiting outside the door. When she saw Ando Meiko coming out in disheveled clothes, she quickly helped her tidy up her clothes and took her to a room in the temple for her to stay in.

Before leaving, the nun pointed to the neatly folded clothes on the table and reminded him, "Sir, this dress is for an audience with His Holiness the Pope. Please make sure you wear it tomorrow."

"I understand." Meiko Ando answered casually, watching the female believer turn around and leave and closing the door for her.

Recalling the scene in the bathtub just now, Ando Meiko couldn't help but blush again. It was not because she had any feelings for Melinda, but because she was completely embarrassed by her actions.

When had Meiko Ando ever encountered such injustice?

Shaking her head to clear away the distracting thoughts in her mind, Ando Meiko lay on the bed and fell into deep thought. The temple model had been explored in the morning. What she had to think about next was how to negotiate so that the Pope would transfer the two stone balls to her.

Just as Melinda had told her before she came, the Celestial Cult regarded the temple as a holy place, and it was not easy to make money from the holy place, even if it was just useless decorations.

What price and qualifications can she exchange for?

Meiko Ando thought about the items she had and the price of making this deal.

Her storage space contained numerous level five monsters, a small number of level six monsters, and a magic core from a level seven monster. Even if the magic core resources could be exchanged for more than a thousand large gold coins, it would probably not be worthy of the superpower, the Church.

There are also quite a few stored foods and daily necessities brought from modern times, but it would not be realistic to use these things in exchange, so they can only be used as additional chips for the future.

It might be possible to use the arsenal to create a set of Flame Demon weapons. After all, it is a complete set of pseudo-legendary weapons. As long as you can get it, you can even combine it into a Flame Demon War Formation and summon a level seven ancient Flame Demon as combat power.

But this is no different from cheating, because the weapons projected from the armory are originally a combination of magic power, and they need the thoughts injected by her to maintain their form.

But as she gets further and further away from the Flame Demon Weapon, her thoughts will gradually dissipate over time, and finally the Flame Demon Weapon will no longer be able to maintain its form and will collapse.

The knowledge about magic circles in her mind? That wouldn't work either. She was just a passer-by in this world, and she didn't want the technology she provided to change the world beyond recognition.

After thinking about it, the only thing she could think of was that her body was valuable. Of course, what she meant by selling her body here was not any bad meaning, but her fighting ability.

She possessed a combat power capable of slaying a level eight monster. Although she had concealed this from Melinda during their business trip, she only needed to admit it.

Her own combat effectiveness should not be ignored by the Theocracy. Using combat effectiveness as an exchange for completing some tasks of the Theocracy in exchange for the stone ball is the best solution that Ando Meiko has considered at the moment.

But if it really doesn't work, then we have no choice but to give up first and continue traveling with Beth and the other two. We should first go to the territories of the dwarves and dragons to see if there are any good opportunities. We can then come back to exchange them when we have obtained enough.

Thinking stopped, and Ando Meiko, who already had an idea in her mind, relaxed her body and mind and fell asleep naturally.

Volume 7: A Strange Journey to Another World: Chapter 129: Conditions of Exchange

Early in the morning, Meiko Andeng's biological clock naturally made her wake up. After becoming a magical girl, there was no longer any concept of sleeping in, because she only needed to enter deep sleep for three or four hours to restore her mental state to normal.

If this kind of incredible ability were to happen in modern society, it would definitely be called the innate holy body of a social animal. In fact, there are many magical girls who have integrated into society and have gained a lot of time to work hard through this convenient means, thus starting from scratch and laying the foundation for their family business.

The female believer who was waiting outside knocked on the door and entered the room. She changed Anten Meiko into the clothes that had been prepared on the table. After she put them on, she found that it was actually a purple robe.

Based on the information that Meiko Anten obtained from the believers, she was already familiar with the differences between robes of different colors.

The people in black robes walking casually on the street are the lowest-level believers, and the one in green is a second-level believer. What makes them different from the black-robed believers is that they can enter the temple to work, so they don’t have to worry about the opening hours.

The third-level believers are the blue-clad believers who helped them purify themselves last night. They have a certain status in the temple and will undertake more important tasks.

Above them are the fourth-level believers wearing gray and the fifth-level believers wearing orange, then there are the high-level cardinals in white and cardinals in red, and as for the Pope, he is dressed in gold, which symbolizes power.

Of course there is also a special purple color, which is used to entertain guests.

Wearing the purple robe, Anten Meizi followed the green-clad believers along the main road, and finally met up with Melinda who came from the other side.

Seeing Anten Meizi, Melinda waved to her in a friendly manner: "Good morning, Ruby, how did you sleep?"

"You're full of energy!" Meiko Anten gave her a thumbs up.

"Please wait for a while." After saying that, the two green-clad believers stepped forward and stood in front of the door in front of the four people.

The two of them stared at the tightly closed door in front of them. The door was five meters high and six meters long. Both doors were golden and faintly emitted magical fluctuations. It was obviously made of special metal.

Meiko Anten also scanned this room with her radar. There was a large hall inside, which looked like the audience hall used by medieval kings to meet with their subordinates and handle state affairs.

After waiting for about an hour, a loud voice that sounded like someone calling from inside penetrated the two metal doors. The two green-clad believers waited for the door to slowly open before they retreated.

With their identities and status, they had no right to enter the audience hall, so they never looked up at all.

Andeng Meizi, who was wearing a purple robe, looked at each other and waited for the door to open completely before walking towards the audience hall.

Sitting on the main throne was an old man holding a scepter. He had a solemn expression, wore a golden crown, held a golden scepter, and was draped in a golden robe. His aura of majesty made people feel a mountain of pressure just by standing below.

On both sides of the main seat stood two red-robed cardinals, several white-robed cardinals on both sides of the platform, and a group of orange-robed believers.

"Melinda, President of the Tiandi Chamber of Commerce, pays homage to His Holiness the Pope." Melinda knelt on one knee and bowed respectfully.

Seeing this, An Teng Meizi followed suit and said, "Adamantium-rank adventurer Ruby pays homage to His Holiness the Pope."

The Pope nodded slightly, and at this time the cardinal on his left came close to the Pope, seemingly listening to what the Pope said.

After a moment, he straightened up again and shouted to the two people below, "Adventurer Ruby, the Pope already understands your purpose. Those two stone balls are indeed useless to our theocracy, but legendary items are not without value. I wonder what price you are prepared to pay in exchange?"

The Cardinal paused, then continued, "If you want to exchange it with money, forget it, because our theocracy is not short of resources."

Upon hearing this, Anten Meiko was not surprised at all, because she had already thought about this problem last night and had a solution.

Meiko Anten bowed respectfully, then raised her head and said, "Excuse me, but after careful consideration, I'm afraid the only thing I possess that could possibly impress His Holiness the Pope is my combat prowess. I can't offer anything obvious in exchange, but I can assist His Holiness in completing the mission in exchange for two stone balls."

A faint smile appeared on the Pope's old face. It was obvious that he had guessed Anten Meiko's answer, and he didn't seem to refuse.

The cardinal leaned over to the Pope again, listening intently. After a moment, he delivered his instructions: "The Pope said he was deeply impressed and intrigued by your story. Although our country also has angels capable of fighting ninth-level beasts, if you can capture the nearby demon city, the Pope will not only give you the stone ball, but also money, status, and anything else you desire."

Even Meiko Anten's expression changed after hearing this request.

How could she possibly capture an entire city by herself? Even if she possessed the power to kill a Level 8 six-winged Nether Serpent, that was more of a trick to exploit its weakness.

But there's no other way now. Should I agree to this request, which is clearly putting me in a difficult position? Damn it, I can't weaken my momentum during negotiations, otherwise they'll only push me further.

"I understand. If this is what His Holiness the Pope wants, I will try my best."

The Cardinal once again conveyed the Pope's will: "The Pope said he admires your courage and, to encourage you, he will allow you to select a thousand men to go."

An Teng Meizi narrowed her eyes and decisively rejected the proposal: "No need for troops, just me alone is enough. If I can't break through in a month, I will choose to give up this deal."

The Pope's face was filled with even greater joy upon hearing this. He suddenly stood up, waved his golden robe, and said in a majestic voice, "In that case, I wish you a triumphant return."

As soon as he made this gesture, the whole audience immediately became shorter and everyone fell to their knees, even the cardinal who was standing next to him was no exception.

Of course there are still differences. All those below the white cardinal kneel on both knees, while the red cardinal only needs to kneel on one knee.

After leaving these words, the Pope left the audience hall. The audience lasted less than ten minutes, but Anten Meiko slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
