Chapter 283: The Tin Knight and The City of Hubris (3)
Perhaps it was quite a painful experience for the red mist to be hit by you once.
The red mist remained quiet without showing any special behavior anymore.
But you knew.
It hadn’t given up, but was just waiting for an opportunity.
Amid the subtle checks between you two, Sophia’s story continued to progress.
Intense holy power and the position of being a conversation partner to a renowned priest.
With these two powers in hand, Sophia’s standing became completely different from before.
She was able to freely move around outside, and conversely, the number of people visiting her home to talk with her increased day by day.
If Sophia had shown arrogant behavior or become lazy, relying only on the holy power she possessed, people would have praised her outwardly but inwardly kept her at a distance.
But Sophia’s thirst for knowledge was real, and she showed an attitude of not considering the holy power she possessed as anything special.
As this was a city of learning and debate, it was a place where the attitude of pursuing cultivation, knowledge, and the principles of things was considered worthy of respect.
To receive the benefits of holy power, out of simple curiosity, to become close to the elderly priest using her as an intermediary, to see through her false reputation and steal her fame.
