"All right, it's just a Pollution item with a number starting with 5. Compared to you, it's nothing. This world itself offers many good things, and with our help, it'll be easier for you to obtain them. I also have a Transcendent item that can save your life. Take it."
An irregular object resembling an iron meteorite was handed to Rafia. It was only the size of a thumb.
"4-012-0280, Guardian Meteorite. Although its number begins with 4, it normally doesn't release Pollution, so carrying it won't be a problem for you. However, if you encounter danger, it will automatically protect you. You'll suffer certain side effects as a result, but your life will be saved, so I believe it's worth carrying."
"Thank you, Mr. High Priest."
"All right, come with me. Next, I'll take you to a nearby church. The local religion is the Holy Church of the Sky. The Holy See planted several clergy members here long ago, and I have an identity of my own as well, so you needn't worry about being exposed."
Led by the High Priest, the two of them walked forward for several kilometers and soon arrived at a city.
There were no city walls here. Most of the buildings resembled those of ancient times and looked rather old.
Rafia followed him into a church whose overall color scheme leaned toward golden yellow.
"Lord Honorary Bishop."
As soon as they entered through the main doors, two nuns bowed to the High Priest.
The nuns quickly noticed Rafia, and astonishment appeared on both their faces. Clearly, they had been stunned by the peerless beauty of the golden-haired girl.
"Go in and contact your Bishop. Tell him I've brought a new nun with nearly perfect qualities."
"Yes."
The two nuns entered through the back door.
