Chapter 831: Section 554: If Fate Has Shackles
Standing in front of Hoffman Monastery in Carterburg, the man who donned his cloak’s hood smiled and nodded gently at the opening gate and the terrified Church followers behind it.
Like he was encouraging them, and also comforting them, he pulled back his hood to reveal an ordinary smile. "Where is Colin, that child."
"Recently, Bishop Colin has been presiding over work at the Church; the old Bishop has retired... Sir, what brings you here?" said the lady at the door who was welcoming the visitor, with a hint of panic on her face, cautiously asking the deity in front of her.
"I’m here to see a child who is very ill and doesn’t have much time left," said the Nameless standing before the mortals.
"Do you mean... that child called Susu?" Being the manager of the monastery, the lady quickly identified the child mentioned by the deity amongst those living in the monastery.
"Yes, her," the deity said, looking at the lady, "May I see her?"
"You can, but sir, her condition is quite poor, it seems she’s contracted a very tricky epidemic. We’ve confirmed it’s not the Nagoth disease, but... she just can’t recover. Can you save her?" The lady’s eyes were filled with pleading as she boldly asked the Nameless.
She thought she would receive a definite affirmative response from this benevolent deity. Her favorite girl would have a happy future, so she looked at him, until she saw him shake his head.
"Only she can save herself," said the Nameless, and then he walked towards the children’s quarters as if he belonged.
