Chapter 1111: Saintess (1)
The speed of the airship was not something to look down on.
The power that was contained within that magic crystal was immense, if it was any other country, this thing would have been used to power arrays that contained forbidden spells and such.
So when it was converted into wind that propelled the airship, the speed was not something to scoff at.
With this speed, it took only a single day to arrive at the borders of the Holy Empire.
It was still light outside when we arrived at the borders.
Since we arrived in the airship of the Holy Empire, the treatment we received was completely different from the others that were still waiting to enter the territory of the Holy Empire.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
There were plenty of people that were kept waiting at the gates of the border and it was clear that they wouldn't all be able to enter the Holy Empire today. But it didn't seem like these people cared since they had even brought tents and such, making it clear that they were prepared to camp outside the gate at night.
That was their determination to head into the territory of the Holy Empire.
Though looking closely, I could see that some of them seemed to be in bad shape. If I had to guess, they were most likely refugees that had fled from the surrounding countries after they were hit with the monster waves.
So it only made sense that they had no choice but to wait to enter the Holy Empire.
There was nowhere else for them to go in the end.
With the airship of the Holy Empire leading the way, we easily entered the territory of the Holy Empire and were allowed to head to the capital.
The moment that we entered the territory of the Holy Empire, it made it clear what it meant to be one of the four empires of the human race.
The territory of the Holy Empire was completely untouched by the chaos of the monster
waves.
There was lush greenery that was found everywhere in the Holy Empire.
It was as if this place was a paradise that was found nowhere else.
Of course, I knew that it was only the Holy Empire that would look like this. The other empires wouldn't have the same scenery in their lands since they had other specialties.
The only reason the Holy Empire was like this was because of their specialty, which was their faith.
Namely, it was the religion that followed Vivrum, the Goddess of Life that created this scenery. Their faith and powers blessed the lands of the Holy Empire, which allowed all of these plants to grow.
Of course, it wasn't just this that was the specialty of the Holy Empire.
There were many different religions and many different deities that were worshipped in the Holy Empire. There were many different blessings that were given to the land of the Holy Empire because of the faith of their many followers.
It was night time when we arrived in the capital and there was a group that came out to greet us as soon as we landed.
This group was led by a specific person that caught everyone's attention as soon as she came out.
This was a woman who was beautiful enough that it almost seemed like there was this glow that was around her...
No, when one looked closely, they could see that there was something that seemed to be a halo that was around her. The light that was around her seemed to be some kind of holy light that surrounded her.
Even without any prior knowledge, one would be able to guess that this person was an important person.
As for someone like me who had prior knowledge from the game, I knew exactly who this person was. I even knew her to the point where I could even imagine what her body was like...
That was because she was also one of the targets that one could capture in the game if they ever chose to go to the Holy Empire.
She was the saintess of the Holy Empire.
She wasn't the saintess of a single church, but the saintess of the Holy Empire itself since she was someone that had the ability to communicate with the gods. This wasn't an ability that was exclusive to a single god, she was able to communicate with all of the gods.
That was why she was considered the saintess of the Holy Empire instead of the saintess of a single religion.
The ability to communicate with the gods was a must for any religion and none of them would be able to monopolize her like this.
Her status was comparable to the popes of the large religions in the Holy Empire.
Or it could even be said that her status was even higher because of her special abilities.
She was not someone that could be met that easily...
Yet here she was to greet us.
Once we came down from the airship, I was surprised to see the saintess suddenly bowing her head. She bowed to me as she said, "This lowly servant of the lord greets the holy son."
It wasn't just me who was caught off guard, even the others who were with her were caught off guard.
The only one that didn't seem surprised was the priest that had guided me.
After a long silence, I looked at her with a strange look and said, "Saintess, there's no need for you to act this way around me. Rather, it should be me showing this kind of respect to you."
But before I could give her a proper greeting, the saintess raised her hand to stop me before saying, "Holy son, you must be joking. I am nothing more than a voice for the lords, I am a lowly servant that works for them. How could I be worthy of this kind of honour?"
I looked at her with an even stranger look after hearing her say this.
I really didn't know what to say in response...
This reaction seemed a bit too much from her...
