Chapter 29: Meet the God of Light

An angelic girl clad in a white-gray stylist autumn trench coat was busy capturing a scene on a canvas with her brush and oil paint.

She sat on a fresh meadow near a beautiful flower garden and across from a small clear river. A loyal assistant dressed similarly to her but in the black-purple set sat beside her, watching her with enthusiasm.

Remiel was clueless about art, but her master\'s painting skill could rival the quality of an objective view.

She also sensed a fragment of spiritual power from that Holy Church painting. The painting was so real and alive, as if someone saw the real place with their eyes.

*Rustle* *Tap* *Tap*

Remiel\'s wolf ears perked up and twitched slightly at the approaching footstep noises. She looked to the side and found a priest and the academy dean\'s granddaughter coming closer briskly like they were in a hurry.

"Lady Miko, I can finally find you. Huff, huff... uhh..." Lily-Mae was out of breath. She was sweating profusely and exhaling steamy breath from the cold autumn air.

"Miss Lily, why do you look like you just ran a marathon? Here, some water for you." Ely offered a bottle of drinking water.

"Thank You." Lily-Mae accepted it and drank the drinking water. She then caught her breath and regained her composure shortly after.

"Holy saintess, we received notification that you will visit our Holy Church this morning. However, what are you doing here?" The priest asked in astonishment.

"A painter painting a painting?" Ely shrugged her shoulders and continued to perfect her painting.

"Well..." The priest scratched his head awkwardly.

"Thank goodness I still made it in time and found you here. I wanted to send you before you left." Lily-Mae was relieved because she made it.

She woke up early and rushed to the hotel where the holy saintess was staying. Yet, the one she was looking for had already been checked out. Therefore, she rushed to the Holy Church and asked the priest for help.

However, who would have thought that the holy saintess she sought was sitting relaxed near a flower garden, painting the Holy Chruch?

She noticed the stunning female demi-human beside the holy saintess at that moment. They wore similar outfits with different colors. So, this wolf girl was holy saintess people?

Although like a docile wolf, this wolf girl exuded a menacing aura as if telling her not to disturb the holy saintess.

But she refused to leave because she wanted to meet the holy saintess again!

"What made you want to look for me in such haste, Miss Lily?" Ely asked politely, but she was still concentrating on her painting.

"Ah, uhm... I\'ve notified Holy Church about your special visit. The people will be doing their morning prayers soon. Will you be joining them?" Lily--Mae glanced at the people walking towards the Holy Church.

"No. I have also notified Holy Church and am not visiting to pray to the God of Light. However, I am going to see the God of Light." Ely responded in a relaxed tone.

"!?" The priest gasped in surprise. It was quite presumptuous to meet the God of Light in person. Even the Emperor wouldn\'t be able to get such a privilege. Regardless, he felt conflicted because this was a holy saintess of an upper realm.

"I need to talk to him about recent events. Also, I think he already knows my intentions. They\'ve been watching me, and he\'s been monitoring me." Ely glanced at a certain place in the Holy Church. She could tell several individuals were watching her with some technique, but she had no idea who they were.

"Gulp..." The priest swallowed back what he had almost said. Luckily, he didn\'t spout it out, or he could have offended this big shot.

So, the God of Light had expected her arrival? Would he wait for her to finish painting first? However, what about that painting?

The priest peeked at the painting and was mesmerized by its lifelike details. Unfortunately, he didn\'t possess any artistic sense to get an epiphany from that Holy Chruch painting.

Similar to sword intent for swordsmanship enlightenment by witnessing someone else\'s sword technique. The artistic sense was needed to look deeper into the wisdom depicted in the painting.

"Mm, it\'s over. What do you think?" Ely was satisfied with her painting.

Unfortunately, that painting\'s artistic value was not recognized by heaven. That was evident from the related quest listed in her grimoire. The number of completions had stayed the same. She had to improve her art-related skills more then.

"Master is the best!" Remiel nodded happily.

"Mm! Yes, that\'s a beautiful painting. It feels like the real scenery. Would you take this home as a souvenir, Lady Miko?" Lily-Mae was curious.

"I want to gift this to someone and ask for art advice." Elly shook her head. She wrote her penname in the corner of the painting, then wrapped it up and stored it in her storage pouch.

Since the painting was over, Ely went to Holy CHruch. However, she did not enter with the people about to do their morning prayer.

She went to the side entrance where only priests were generally only allowed to enter.

"Stop right there." The senior priest stopped the girl from going any further.

"Hmm?" Ely looked back. No one tried to stop her and Remiel, but Lily-Mae could not enter.

"Huh? Why am I the only one not allowed to enter through this entrance?" Lily-Mae throws her tantrums.

"You can enter through the main entrance. Only priests may enter through this passage." The senior priest pointed at the large front entrance of the church.

"But what about them?" Lily-Mae pointed at the holy saintess and the wolf demi-human.

"They possess healing skills and are eligible to enter as guests. You won\'t be able to enter even if you want to. This is the zone for healers and priests only." The senior priest pointed at a nearby green crystal, but it immediately turned red when Lily-Mae approached.

Ely raised her palm to Lily-Mae and went deeper with Remiel beside her.

"Sorry, I can\'t help you with this, miss." The priest apologized to his friend.

"Never mind, I\'ll wait for the holy saintess to come out then." Lily-Mae snorted.

When Ely entered the special zone, she found many pairs of eyes on her. She was in a hall with a few priests and healers around, but what made her feel a bit wary was the similar sharp gazes of the ones that observed her when she was painting.

Ely used her eye ability and found they were the archbishop and several bishops. So, the God of Light wasn\'t the one watching her since earlier.

"Bless the morning and the light. I am Bishop Ren, and I have received your prior notice regarding your visit, holy saintess. However, we still do not know the purpose of your arrival. Would you mind telling us?" Bishop Ren came closer to greet the holy saintess.

The nearby priests were surprised because they didn\'t know the newcomers were high-status outsiders with special circumstances.

"I came here to meet the God of Light. There is a pressing matter that we must discuss before I leave." Ely answered frankly.

She expected a shock like that of the previous priest, but only the junior ones had such a response. The senior priests, bishops, and archbishop upstairs remained calm.

[Favorability: 30%]

\'Thirty, huh...\' Ely checked whether the other party harbored hidden hostility, but this bishop was still fairly neutral.

"All right, then, please follow me." Bishop Ren glanced at the wolf demi-human once, then led the holy saintess to follow him.

Ely and Remiel were guided to an inner chapel, a relatively small place compared to the place where common people do their prayers.

That place was the room where the Holy Church\'s people went on their spiritual journey of meditation or met the God of Light.

Ely didn\'t wait for the bishop to explain this and that because she already had a lot of information from Rafaela. She sat on the front bench, then clasped her hands in prayer as she stared at the glass wall with a magnificent painting depicting the God of Light who blesses his people.

Bishop Ren lifted the corner of his mouth as he felt this holy saintess overestimate herself. Holy Church couldn\'t refuse her request because of her identity and recent accomplishments. Nevertheless, the God of Light probably wouldn\'t appear because this outsider wanted to meet their God.

However, the glass wall suddenly glowed, and a golden projection of a human appeared floating above the altar.
