Chapter 828: Chapter 665: Can Noble Demeanor Make You Stronger?
Michael suddenly remembered something: "Liya moved to live at the Church Headquarters! But the souls in her Heroic Spirit Hall are still residing in the mansion, they’re out of sync!"
Gabriel then realized: "Then we should definitely see how she reacts!"
That was indeed necessary to observe, these past few days have been busy with the Void War and this was overlooked.
Michael arrived at the Heroic Spirit Hall and once again transformed into the butler to enter Liya’s Oak Flower mansion.
The mansion was pitch black, clearly different from usual, and Liya wasn’t seen either.
It was only 10 PM, she shouldn’t be asleep already? Besides, even if she were, the hallway lights would still be on usually, wouldn’t they?
Michael called out several times, but there was no response.
So he lit the way, arriving at Liya’s bedroom on the second floor and knocked on the door: "Miss, are you in?"
Still no response.
Michael opened the door, stunned on the spot, inside was not a bedroom at all, but the scene of the newly moved Church Headquarters!
Gabriel exclaimed while watching the live broadcast: "Did she, herself, expand the Dream Space?"
Raphael was incredulous: "What kind of power is this, stronger than my Eve?"
Sariel asked in astonishment: "Gabriel, how did you customize this City Beauty, does she have this ability?"
Gabriel was equally puzzled: "I’m different from you guys who chase after powerful and perfect women. My only customization request for her was absolute nobility and elegance that could overshadow your City Beauties, so there were no particular high demands on strength."
Michael said: "It’s not that there were no demands on strength, it’s that the customization attribute points were limited. You used most of the points on elegance and charm, so it was destined that her strength shouldn’t be high."
Gabriel anxiously said: "Don’t worry about strength now, check if she’s there."
Michael entered through the door, the scene switched.
Looking back at the door, outside was the mansion scene. The two scenes were seamlessly connected.
Michael walked down the solemn and majestic Church corridor, it was quiet with no one around, only Michael’s footsteps echoed, making even himself feel uneasy.
Then he heard Liya’s voice calling from the viewing terrace: "Butler?"
Michael’s heart skipped a beat, unconsciously quickening his pace: "Here!"
"Bring a Vesula cake fruit platter and Crawford Champagne."
"Coming!"
With a wave of his hand, the fruit platter and champagne appeared, and upon reaching the terrace, the scene changed yet again, the magnificent night view of Oak City, the lighthouse on the distant island, even the movement of people and vehicles on the night streets came into full view.
Michael was astonished on the spot, and the magnates were in an uproar!
Liya, leaning on the terrace sofa, overlooking the entire city, said faintly: "Butler, the night view is quite beautiful, huh?"
"Yes, very beautiful!"
Michael was almost incredulous, she not only expanded a Church scene but had also spread out the entire city scene, vastly different from other golden canaries who remained unknowingly "imprisoned" in their mansions.
Michael calmed himself, pouring wine as he asked: "Miss, are things better now?"
Liya sighed: "Much better, there’s no place more reassuring and stable than here, is there?"
"Yes, this is a barrier built upon a hundred years of faith accumulation by generations of believers, a Bright Fortress that any Evil God would find difficult to breach."
Liya sighed softly: "But what if the enemy is within the Church?"
Gabriel was greatly shocked!
Michael asked in shock: "How could that be? Miss has never had any conflict with the Church!"
Liya sighed: "Does the Church’s actions require conflict?"
Michael frowned: "Miss, are you saying last night’s nightmare is related to the Church?"
Liya raised a finger to her lips, "Don’t speculate wildly, it’s just my own unease and random guesswork, a lack of security. Besides, after a day has passed, last night’s nightmare has become blurry and hard to remember."
With that, she waved her hand: "You go do your work, I want to be alone for a bit."
"Alright, Miss."
Michael exited the Church scene, Gabriel couldn’t hold back any longer: "She said the Church harmed her, then there must be an insider in the Church, like Bishop Sherlock of the Silver Church!"
Sariel was anxious: "That’s not the point! The point is she expanded two layers of Dream Space, how terrifyingly strong is her Spiritual Power? And this is just a clone soul trapped in the Heroic Spirit Hall, what level of power does her true self possess now?"
Raphael anxiously said: "That’s right, Gabriel’s customization was all about noble temperament, how could a nightmare suddenly make her grow so strong?"
Metatron solemnly said: "It probably has nothing to do with the nightmare, rather she’s always been especially strong! It’s just that this nightmare triggered her outburst!"
Gabriel was extremely confused: "Perhaps, noble temperament is a hidden attribute of the strong, a weak person can’t be noble even if they wanted to?"
Michael said: "Okay, since I’m here, I’ll go ask the other three City Beauties’ mansions."
...
So Michael left the Oak Flower mansion, going directly to Gem Flower Eve’s mansion first. She had always been regarded as the strongest City Beauty, even if out of comparative jealousy, she would provide some information.
At that time, Eve was sitting on a bench in the garden under the lamp, reading a Magic Book, and continuously condensing a Flame Light Corps with her other hand.
Michael slightly regretted coming to her first. With her focused temper, once absorbed, she couldn’t be disturbed halfway, but he still quietly brought her favorite snacks and drinks to her table first, because she was playing with fire, Michael meticulously prepared cold drinks.
This time, perhaps due to good luck, she was actually thirsty, picked up the cup, and drank: "Hmm, not bad, another cup please."
Michael took the opportunity to strike up a conversation: "Okay. By the way, Miss, after resting for a day, Oak City Beauty Liya went out at night to seek revenge on the Nightmare."
Eve almost choked on her cold drink: "That doesn’t sound like her at all? If she went out on the street, wouldn’t the whole city’s citizens go wild watching her?"
"Of course, she was in disguise. I also feel it doesn’t align with Liya’s usual calm demeanor."
Eve looked puzzled: "I know that Oak Sage lady, she’s a Dream Angel. But Miss Liya isn’t, what does she use to deal with the Nightmare?"
Michael further hinted or incited: "So, I think her power has made a huge leap, otherwise she wouldn’t act so out of character. I even suspect, her strength might have always been particularly strong, and we might have severely underestimated her."
Eve paused for a moment, then laughed: "Then I really must congratulate her. And I, too, need to study harder and catch up, I can’t fall behind."
With that, she closed the book and stood up: "I also need to work harder in the study..."
Michael was stunned.
Raphael was also taken aback: "Is my Eve that obedient? It’s like she truly believes Liya can become stronger?"
Sela laughed: "Let’s go find Black Iron Flower, last time she was cursing Tifa’s Bronze City for taking Black Iron City’s assets!"
Michael sighed: "Alright, let’s go find Black Iron Flower. Actually, Sela, you’re really interested in knowing her true character and temperament, aren’t you?"
Sela laughed: "You guessed right!"
