The more they oppose, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing-Chapter 260 - 198 Merlin: An Su, you take over my shift for a day (two in one)

"You’re about to have a demigoddess girlfriend—introduced by Lister and Arthur."

An Su said proudly.

He was a humble, unassuming man, and Lister and Arthur were his good brothers. He would naturally not keep such a grand credit to himself; instead, he actively displayed the traditional virtue of modesty, willingly crediting his friends with this earth-shattering accomplishment.

From then on, he decided to retreat into obscurity, his achievements and fame well concealed.

Upon hearing that Lister and Arthur were behind the introduction, Merlin’s interest was piqued.

He knew An Su was no good thing, but he had met both Lister and Arthur. They weren’t exactly what you’d call human, but they certainly weren’t as audacious as An Su, and he doubted they would dare to make a fool of him.

The families behind these two had quite a reputation, one with a profound network and the other with a long history; it seemed reasonable that they could make the acquaintance of a demigoddess.

Although Merlin felt delighted, he was the God of Law after all and couldn’t let his pleasure show on his face, lest he lose his cool.

"Hmph," Merlin’s expression hardened as he gave a cold snort. His red robe fluttered, and his pure white eyes were filled with pride and disdain,

"I’m not interested, just asking out of curiosity. What’s her background? Is she reliable?"

"I must make it clear again that I don’t care at all."

Merlin was cautious, in case An Su tried to deceive him, and he probed further.

"Hmm," after some thought, An Su decided to answer truthfully, "Your Excellency Merlin, as far as I know, you do actually know this demigoddess."

Merlin’s white eyes glimmered with Holy Light as he scrutinized An Su’s soul, seeing that there was no lie in his words, and then he began to ponder,

Which of the female demigods he knew could it be... Miss Anna from the Healing Church or Lady Ska from the Church of Chastity? The stunning visages of several female demigods flitted through his mind.

"Moreover, she’s been paying attention to you for quite a while," An Su sincerely said, "She has been protecting you all this year. Without her help, you wouldn’t have even been able to fulfill your duties."

Merlin was moved to hear that a lady had been silently making such sacrifices for him.

He was unaware that someone had been behind the scenes, supporting him.

Thinking about it, it must be Bishop Anna from the Healing Church, her gentle and healing nature had long made Merlin suspect she had a hidden affection for him.

An Su also showed a relieved smile, had Bishop Rada not come to attack Heaven, Merlin would have left his post long ago, naturally unable to fulfill the duties of repelling enemies in Heaven.

"What does she look like?" Merlin asked, having completely forgotten about maintaining his high status appearance.

"Curvy," An Su appraised. Bishop Rada had robust pectoral muscles, truly a man among men.

Merlin coughed lightly. He did not detect any deceit in An Su’s words, it seemed the young man was telling the truth.

"And now is the best time for you to make your move," An Su said with a calm smile, "This lady has just had her heart broken by a man, she’s lonely and vulnerable, making it the perfect opportunity for you to step in."

Who knew there would be such a fantastic additional attribute?

The Holy Light in Merlin’s eyes twinkled.

"What’s her name?" Merlin asked.

"She will tell you herself when the time is right," An Su said with a smile.

"Then when can I meet her?" Merlin asked.

"You can meet her tomorrow," An Su replied.

Merlin could barely contain his smile.

He had been trapped in this damned Heaven for a whole year, dealing most often with invaders from the Legion of Pain, and had not been in touch with a female of his rank. Now, at last, he had the chance to break free from the misery, well away from that damned Bishop of Pain. Merlin was quite pleased.

Seeing His Excellency Merlin so satisfied, An Su shared in his joy.

"Your Excellency, I have another matter to report," he said.

While the God of Law was in a good mood, An Su seized the opportunity to move forward, taking out some shabby magic scrolls he had scavenged from the marketplace of the Esoteric Religion. At a glance, there were at least a dozen Chaos Magic spells. An Su reported with a grave and serious demeanor,

"These spells were obtained from my undercover mission within the Esoteric Religion, after risking my life countless times. Please take a look."

The youth’s eyes were full of sincerity, the turquoise pupils as pure as the clear sky after the rain, untainted by any contamination or falsehood.

Saying it took great effort wasn’t wrong, the scrolls were sold by weight in the market, and An Su haggled with the Priests over the price for a long time, employing knowledge from two lifetimes. From the principles behind magic to market economics, from the fundamental theories of the Mysticism of Chaos to the psychological tactic of ’then I’ll just check somewhere else,’ An Su had to use all his wits.

After much effort, An Su finally managed to get the original price of ’three hundred devotion points per pound’ reduced to ’two hundred fifty devotion points per pound,’ which was no easy feat.

He bought a pound of magic, totaling ten low-rank Chaos spells.

"Risking life and limb" was indeed an apt description; after purchasing, An Su realized there was a problem with the weights on the balance scale. After arguing with the Priest of Chaos who managed the marketplace, An Su narrowly escaped with his life.

Merlin glanced over those magic scrolls and frowned slightly, but after pondering for a while, his brow slowly relaxed.

With his keen eyes as the God of Law, he could see that the quality of these spells wasn’t good and their effects were quite average, barely more than mediocre, but even so, they were indeed forbidden spells that circulated only within the Sanctuary of Chaos. Enjoy new stories from novelbuddy
