Chapter 104: Chapter 27: A Saintess with Multiple Personalities? President, Save Our Mom
’Add another personality?’ Su Xuan stared at the hidden prompt that had appeared over the portrait of the Saintess, a flicker of doubt in his eyes.
He mulled it over. ’If offering one Recruitment Scroll can add two Authorities and a personality to the [Saintess] trait, what if I offer two? Can I add even more Authorities and personalities then?’
Furthermore, the [Saintess] was a Super Rare Trait, which meant offering it would surely recruit an Adventurer of Legendary quality or higher. ’So, after adding new Authorities and personalities, will it guarantee a Mythical quality Adventurer?’
This series of conjectures filled Su Xuan with interest and anticipation for the mysterious option.
"Confirm!" He finally made his decision, using one Recruitment Scroll to strengthen the [Saintess] trait.
’A Mythical quality Adventurer... It’s worth a shot!’
[Recruitment Scroll (Green) -1]
[Please select two of the following six Authorities: Generous, Wanton, Melancholy, Lively, Tsundere, Wealthy.]
Su Xuan’s brow furrowed in deep thought as he considered the choice.
’A Saintess who is both lively and wanton?’
’Or one who is generous and wealthy?’
’Or maybe a mix of tsundere and melancholy?’
Of course, he ruled out the combination of melancholy and lively. After all, such a rapid emotional shift was too extreme.
After a moment of contemplation, Su Xuan finally made his decision: he chose Generous and Wealthy.
’Who wouldn’t like a Saintess who is both generous and wealthy?’
[You have selected: Generous, Wealthy.]
[Wealthy: Her wealth could rival a kingdom! Quest rewards increased by 50%!]
[Generous: She is happy to share everything with you! Grants immunity to disease and Curses!]
[Adventurer Recruitment Scroll (Green) -1]
[Continue consuming Recruitment Scrolls to add more Authorities and personalities?]
[Hint: Using a higher-Level Adventurer Recruitment Scroll will increase the number of Authorities you can select at once.]
’Higher-Level Recruitment Scrolls can add more Authorities and personalities? If that’s the case, does that mean the Authorities will switch along with the personality?’
Su Xuan frowned slightly. Although he hadn’t recruited the Saintess yet, he could tell from the known information about the [Saintess] trait that the Authorities seemed to be tied to the personalities.
In other words, he could add many Authorities to the [Saintess] trait, but those Authorities would change along with the personality.
’A Saintess with multiple personalities?’
Su Xuan stroked his chin, wondering if it was really possible to recruit an Adventurer with multiple personalities.
Just as Su Xuan was lost in thought, the two little darlings, Beiya Fuli and Beira Furo, appeared before him. They looked at him with eager eyes, full of enthusiasm for work.
"Mr. President~ We want more~"
"Alright, let me see what tasks I have that are suitable for you."
Su Xuan looked at them, then glanced at the quest list. He saw that the number of E+ Level quests had increased to twenty, but their difficulty hadn’t risen significantly.
The quests were split evenly between combat and lifestyle types, which was perfect. He could have Fuli and Flora complete the lifestyle quests first.
"Here you go."
Su Xuan handed them a commission, and they thanked him happily. "Thank you, Mr. President~"
...
Two days later, thanks to the efforts of the Guild members, Su Xuan’s Guild had completed eight E+ Level commissions, accumulating 40,000 experience points and 5 Gold Coins in rewards.
Su Xuan used the experience to raise the Elf Sisters to Level 17 and Alice to Level 18, for a total cost of 32,800 experience points. With the remainder, he raised Rosaline by one level, which cost 6,000 points.
In the process, they had also unexpectedly found a hidden item: a fragmented Magic Staff. Su Xuan cleverly used a Witch Gemstone he had on hand to repair it, creating a rare Witch’s Staff.
[Witch’s Staff (Rare): This staff is inlaid with a Witch Gemstone. Reduces the wielder’s Magic cost by 10%.]
Considering the Elf Sisters were skilled in Magic, Su Xuan decided to give them the Witch’s Staff and a witch’s hat, hoping to further enhance their combat strength.
’Right, why haven’t the two sisters shown up today?’
As noon approached, Su Xuan realized that Beiya Fuli and Beira Furo still hadn’t arrived at the Guild as usual. Normally, they would have been here two hours ago, impatiently waiting to receive quests from him.
As Su Xuan was wondering about this, he suddenly saw Ivsha walk by, carrying a strange-looking neck shackle.
Curious, he stepped forward to ask, "Hang on, Ivsha. What strange new thing have you brought back this time?"
"Oh, this?" Ivsha gently patted the neck shackle in her hand and explained, "It’s an instrument of punishment for unruly Nuns. But don’t worry, Mr. Su Xuan, the ones I brought are all brand-new and have never been used."
"..."
Su Xuan frowned slightly. He was more interested in why Ivsha was bringing instruments of punishment into the Guild. But Ivsha didn’t seem inclined to explain, merely humming softly as she walked into the Guild’s prayer room.
Su Xuan sighed. Ever since he’d agreed to let Ivsha set up a prayer room in the Guild, it seemed things were spiraling in an uncontrollable direction!
He had just sat down to relax his nerves with a cup of coffee, carefully prepared by his Maid, Alice.
Just then, however, the Teleportation Array flared with white light. The Elf Sisters, Beiya Fuli and Beira Furo, rushed frantically into the Guild.
With panicked expressions, they shouted to Su Xuan, "Mr. President! It’s terrible!"
Su Xuan immediately set down his coffee. "What is it? What happened?" he asked.
"Mr. President! They... they’re going to lock Mother in the Dark Prison!" Beiya Fuli and Beira Furo clung to Su Xuan’s arms, their eyes filled with helplessness.
"Lock her in the Dark Prison?" Su Xuan’s brow tightened as he asked the question at once.
"Yes!" Beira Furo sobbed, wiping away tears. "There are only three days until the Queen awakens. They plan to send Mother to the Dark Prison and keep her there until the day of her trial. Mr. President, please, you have to help our mother!"
"Please, Mr. President!" Beiya Fuli pleaded, gently tugging at the corner of Su Xuan’s clothes.
"We leave at once!" Su Xuan stood up, ready to head to the Elf Kingdom.
He didn’t have much sway with the Elf Race, but he couldn’t just stand by and do nothing at a time like this.
"Wonderful! Mr. President, let’s hurry!" Beiya Fuli and Beira Furo each took one of Su Xuan’s hands and eagerly pulled him toward the Teleportation Array.
In an instant, they arrived in the Elf Kingdom. The small wooden cabin where Beiya Leila and her daughters lived was already surrounded by a crowd of Elves, and the atmosphere was incredibly tense.
The Elves were split into two factions. One insisted on locking Beiya Leila in the Dark Prison, while the other vehemently opposed it. The two sides were at a standstill, and conflict was about to erupt.
"Beiya Leila has violated the clan’s taboos and must receive the punishment she deserves!" an Elf Elder declared solemnly, stepping into the center of the crowd. "According to the laws of the Elf Race, an Elf awaiting trial must be imprisoned in the Dark Prison for three days. Though Beiya Leila is a Princess, she is no exception!"
"Guards! Take Beiya Leila to the Dark Prison!" At the Elder’s command, a group of Elf Soldiers immediately stepped forward to carry out the order.
"I’d like to see who dares!"
