Chapter 509 - 345: Fate (Part 1)
Alice and Malin had met a different kind of vampire before, one who likely obtained her abilities from the Transcendent Sequence. Because of this, the few drops of Malin’s blood had only caused her some discomfort.
If it were the kind of vampire from Parol City, they wouldn’t even need fresh blood; a mere direct gaze from Malin would force them to undergo a deadly judgment.
Any vampire that failed to withstand Malin’s direct gaze would be ignited by holy flames — having slain that Evil God, these mere riffraff were nothing but chickens and dogs in Malin’s eyes.
Even those unafraid of direct gazing, the four World Tree Saplings were enough to teach them what judgment meant.
It was for this reason that Malin tolerated Alice’s provocation with a more indulgent attitude — sixteen years old, merely the age a half-blood elf child ought to be.
Considering the girl’s nature wasn’t bad, a light punishment would suffice.
After the banquet ended, Malin took the girls and the old lady to say their goodbyes, declining her offer to see them out. Malin and the girls prepared to walk back to the train station — the room suitable for Malin’s use was still being prepared, and the old lady from the Church of the Goddess of Harvest said it would take another two days to get ready.
Malin Gaiate had long since ceased to be the little apprentice he once was; he was now the Church’s red-robed Assistant Priest stationed in Carterburg — the highest position Malin could attain at present, an extraordinary promotion like Colin’s.
Of course, everyone in the Church understood that with Malin’s strength, becoming a Bishop was only a matter of time. Hence, everything Malin deserved could not be lacking. The Church couldn’t find a suitable large room for Malin and others to use, not wanting to cram the eight of them into the Church’s tiny rooms — the kind with just a single bed and a small table.
And since Malin was to continue traveling south by train in two days, it was better not to disturb everyone and just stay in the train carriages instead.
The Church only had one carriage available today. Malin had his own transport and mount, and naturally wouldn’t let the old lady walk back on her own. With people added to the group, all that was needed was to place Rewo and Maya on the back of the spare provisions, and Malin would walk ahead.
