Reincarnation NPC, but Arknights

Observing that Bai Ye's breathing was still even, SilverAsh thought to himself, "This guy is too good at hiding it. He even fooled the Black Knight of Kazimierz before. This guy's physical abilities are also off the charts."

As they walked, Tenzin flew off Silver Grey's shoulder and hovered in mid-air, while White Night clapped his hands.

A moment later, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the two. She nodded to Bai Ye, then glanced at Yin Hui, and said, "Please come with me."

"Who is she?" SilverAsh asked softly from the side.

"You'll find out soon enough," Bai Ye said, keeping everyone in suspense.

……

Yera led the way, and the two people and the god arrived together in front of a stone building.

SilverAsh frowned. He felt he should remember where he was. After a while, he realized that this was the Divine Abode Temple.

Legend has it that the Snow God of Shelag lives here.

"What... what's going on?" SilverAsh couldn't understand why they were here.

Yera stood at the door and waited for a while. Then a girl carrying her big tail came running over.

"Ya'er, why did you call me here..."

"..."

She first complained to her maid, and then she saw Silver Grey standing in the shadows under the eaves.

Then she fell silent.

SilverAsh remained expressionless. He first glanced at Bai Ye, and seeing that she was still smiling without any flaws, he turned around, put his hands together, and bowed to the girl: "Holy Maiden."

“Yes, Ensiodis, it’s been a long time.” Enya nodded.

'Are they just sitting there like that? I remember they're siblings, aren't they?' Bai Ye looked at Yela with a questioning expression.

Yela shrugged and shook her head.

Clearly, she was helpless in the face of the awkward atmosphere.

Some miscalculation...

Bai Ye sighed. The relationship between the two of them was unexpected, but in any case, the plan still had to proceed as scheduled.

Yera pushed open the door of the shrine and went inside.

“Ya’er…you…” Saintess Enya looked at her maidservant with some fear as she stepped straight into the holy site of faith.

"It's alright, let's go in together." Bai Ye smiled and then followed him inside.

“Yes, I mean it’s okay. Don’t worry or be afraid.” Yera gave a thumbs up.

Yera's tone and words made Enya feel somewhat unfamiliar, but trusting her friend, she took out the holy book, held it in her arms, and then carefully went inside.

"Yeragond, above."

The saint prayed that the gods would forgive her rudeness.

Seeing this, Yela smiled happily, but Bai Ye knew that this child was actually quite worried. She was unsure how Enya would view her if her identity were exposed.

"Your Holiness, may I ask why you invited us here?" SilverAsh was somewhat puzzled. Even someone as intelligent as him didn't understand what these people wanted to do.

“Ya’er, it’s time to tell us. Why would we offend the gods like this?” Enya herself was also completely confused.

Earlier, her maid told her that the milk would be secretly leaked after dinner today, but she did not say what the purpose was.

Upon seeing SilverAsh, Enya even had a thought that her brother had bribed her maid.

"Yela, it's time for you to drop your disguise. There's no point in continuing to pretend." Bai Ye looked at the god who was watching the siblings tearing each other apart with great interest.

"Um...can we not make it public?" When it came to the crucial moment, Yela became a little hesitant.

"You'd better hurry up, or I'll look down on you... Otherwise I'll call you a useless god every day from now on," Bai Ye said irritably.

The people have already been called here, wouldn't it be ridiculous to back out now?

"Uh...okay..."

Yera took a deep breath, feeling as nervous as any ordinary person.

At that moment, she realized that there wasn't much difference between humans and gods.

After a moment of hesitation, Yera, the saint's handmaid, stood up from her chair and gently raised her head: "I'm the one who called you here."

"Don't worry, your actions are not disrespectful to the gods, because I have given you permission."

“Your permission…” SilverAsh repeated Yera’s words subconsciously, then he recalled the conversation between White Night and the girl earlier, and as if he had thought of something, his pupils contracted sharply.

"—?!"

His body froze on the spot.

"Hehe, not exactly stupid." Yela chuckled.

As she laughed, the girl's simple clothes transformed into exquisite and elaborate robes, and her figure floated up lightly, her toes leaving the ground.

SilverAsh immediately knelt down.

Enya's mouth dropped open, not understanding what had happened.

Yera gently stroked the girl's gray hair and said with a smile, "I'm sorry. For many years, I have been posing as the head maid of the saintess, secretly observing everyone. This is my personal hobby, and also my way of keeping you company. Please forgive my concealment, my child."

"You...you are, Yeragand?"

Even if Enya were stupid, she should have been able to guess the true identity of the familiar maid and friend in front of her. She raised her head, looked at the holy light on Yera's face, and then knelt down as well.

"Yes, I am... your god, Yeragand. But if possible, I hope you will still consider me a friend."

As Yela spoke, she helped Enya up: "Just like always, okay?"

"Hmm..." Enya nodded subconsciously.

How could she refuse a request from the god she served?

……

-------------------------------------

After an unknown amount of time, the four of them returned to their chairs and sat down.

The shock that the sudden appearance of the god brought to SilverAsh and his sister Enya gradually subsided.

SilverAsh was more surprised than anything else; he hadn't expected that gods actually existed.

Enya was equally surprised; she never imagined that her maid, with whom she spent every day, was actually Yeragand.

This was hidden way too well...

"Honestly, if that's the case, how am I supposed to get along with you in the future..." Enya muttered to herself.

"Just do it the usual, won't that be fine?" Bai Ye said with a smile from the side.

“But, that’s a god!” Enya retorted.

"God? What's she usually like? Have you ever seen her do anything stupid?" Bai Ye asked with a wicked smile.

"Hey! Enya, don't say that!" Yela said angrily.

Enya was stunned for a moment, then realized the problem—even knowing that her friend was a god, she found it difficult to continue to regard this god with devotion.

After all, they were all too familiar with it...

"It's all your fault, Ya'er!"

Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Tail of the Gods

It's certainly hard to believe someone who suddenly claims to be a god, especially if that person is a friend you spend every day with.

However, Enya eventually accepted the reality—the person in front of her was indeed the source of her faith, the guardian deity of the snowy land, Yeragand.

Even the power she possessed was given to her by the god before her.

"Is this the Sacred Bell? I've heard that if you shake this bell, the sound can summon ice and snow to extinguish flames and cool the whole world." Bai Ye looked at the bell in Enya's hand with some curiosity; it looked like the kind that hangs on a Christmas tree.

"I can give you one if you want. There are a bunch over there on the shelf. It's nothing special," Yera waved her hand dismissively.

"Did you design the Saintess's attire as well? It's very nice." Bai Ye turned his gaze to Saintess Enya Shivaish of Sherag.

Whether it's stockings, boots, or slit dresses, they're all quite eye-catching, which reminds Bai Ye of the deep-sea hunter Ghost Shark who was still on Rhodes Island.

'If I could convince Titi to wear one of these clothes... well, she'd probably do, considering she's a bit of a goofball.'

Bai Ye's thoughts couldn't help but wander off course.

Although this was a rather serious meeting—at least from the perspective of the attendees. Among those present were the chieftain of one of the three tribes of Sherag, the supreme religious authority of the entire Sherag region, and even a god.

However, the truth is that the atmosphere can never be serious.

If it weren't for Bai Ye and Yela constantly cracking jokes, the atmosphere here would be nothing short of terrifying.

To paraphrase Bai Ye, the brother and sister were clearly family, yet they didn't say a word to each other, as quiet as if they were attending a funeral.

While that might be a bit of an exaggeration, it's not far off.

Yera sighed, then clapped her hands: "Let's get down to business."

She then told SilverAsh about the plan that she had discussed with White Night.

In short, Bai Ye sent his mercenaries to Kjerag to cause trouble and kidnap the Holy Maiden. With a hostage in hand, the others obviously wouldn't dare to act rashly. Then, SilverAsh sent people, while Bai Ye recruited players to stage a play with his mercenaries to rescue the Holy Maiden and, incidentally, send a warning to the other two families in the Three Races Council.

If Yera were to appear again, it would allow Sherag to accelerate its entry into the next new era.

The plan was very simple, even bordering on chaotic and rudimentary.

However, Sherag's strengths lie in its isolation and faith; the people living there are relatively pure. As long as God ultimately manifests His will and Jeragand endorses it, the matter will be settled.

After listening to Yera's explanation, SilverAsh frowned, then his expression slowly relaxed: "I didn't expect that the god we believe in still exists. So those elders who annotate the scriptures are nothing but a bunch of clowns. After all, the authority is right here."

"In that case, my worries and concerns will no longer exist."

SilverAsh originally planned to proceed gradually, and had even begun secretly recruiting soldiers and purchasing equipment from Victoria. However, even though he was stronger than the other families, SilverAsh did not make any rash moves.

Even with SilverAsh's immense abilities, he couldn't change the beliefs ingrained in the bones of the Khalkha people for millennia. The Khalkha trade could only grow to the size permitted by the Council of Three Races and the Manju Academy; Khalkha could never become an industrialized, technologically advanced nation.

This outcome was unacceptable to SilverAsh, so he could only lie low and wait for an opportunity.

Unfortunately, the players' sudden appearance disrupted his plans. The local residents, due to their religious beliefs, ostracized these players and wanted to expel them. Some extremists even wanted to expel all foreigners, along with shutting down SilverAsh's factories and businesses.

In their view, these heretics with no faith were drawn to the place because of SilverAsh.

This was originally a rather thorny issue, and SilverAsh hoped to resolve the dispute with the help of White Night, the world's most authoritative scholar of the undead. He initially thought White Night would approach the matter from his area of ​​expertise.

However, Bai Ye took a completely different approach and actually found the source of Sherag's faith—the long-lost god Yeragand.

It's incredible.

It's important to know that Jeragand, the first king of Shelag, suddenly disappeared several centuries later. No one has seen her since, except for occasional apparitions.

'Could it be that Bai Ye is not only an expert in the realm of the undead, but also has extensive knowledge of the religion of Sherag?'

SilverAsh became increasingly curious about the identity of this mysterious guy.

……

“Since Ensiodes has no objection, then only my Saintess remains. Enya, what do you think?” Yera looked at Saintess Enya, who had remained silent until now.

Enya didn't speak. She remained silent for a moment, then turned her gaze to SilverAsh: "Ensiodis, what... are you thinking?"

“I believe that, Your Grace, you have enough influence to alert the others in the Three Races Council. If you wish, that would be even better.” SilverAsh pondered for a moment before giving his answer.

"Ah."

Enya snorted coldly and remained silent.

She certainly knew the importance of this matter, and she had no negative feelings towards Bai Ye and Yela, who had proposed the idea.

However, SilverAsh, her blood brother, remained silent and didn't even utter a word of rebuttal. His mind was only focused on gains and losses, treating her as a tool to be used.

However, she wasn't surprised by SilverAsh's attitude. After all, SilverAsh had gone so far as to have his sister become a candidate for Saintess in order to solidify his position in the Council of the Three Races.

In the end, Enya became the new saintess, but she never considered SilverAsh as her family again.

Taking a deep breath, Enya nodded: "Lord Yeragand, I am willing to serve this plan."

Bai Ye naturally noticed the conflict and unusual situation between the Shivaesh siblings. After thinking for a moment, he comforted Enya, saying, "Don't worry, there will be no danger. Just think of it as leaving Mount Kalan and taking a day to relax. You can do whatever you want today, and we will keep your whereabouts hidden."

Although it was called a kidnapping, it was just an act; they didn't actually intend to lock Eun-ah up.
