At the same time.
Greece Acropolis of Athens.
No matter where you stand in the city, you can see the towering Parthenon Mountain in the center from a distance.
The top of the mountain is filled with purple-blue color all year round, as if the entire city is bathed in this light.
The citizens of Athens are full of respect for this glory. Being able to live here is a gift from the temple to them and a blessing from the gods that protects them from diseases.
The pinnacle of Sacred Mountain is the most noble Goddess Peak in the entire Greece, and is also where Goddess Hall is located.
As night falls, many young women have gathered in the central hall of the Goddess Hall.
They all wore long milky white gauze skirts with slender waists. This outfit perfectly complemented the bust line and outlined the soft outline of the upper body, but it did not make people feel the slightest blasphemy.
They are holy, pure, and the incarnation of angels in the human world.
Ye Xin Xia is also in the queue. Her holiness and beauty stand out among all the women.
The light of the candlelight fell on her brown hair, as if it had been plated with a layer of light gold.
"I heard that you and I treated many soldiers at Egypt Pusini, and were loved by many people. We even went to war in person to help those Military Mages defeat the mirage."
At the front of the team, a mature woman also wearing a milky white gauze skirt looked at her with a smile.
It's just that this woman's attire is more noble and gorgeous, and her unique identity can be seen at a glance. She is Temple Mother of Parthenon Temple, the highest person in power today, Pamish.
"Yes, Temple Mother." Ye Xin Xia nodded.
"Since you have made this contribution, I can make an exception for this and allow you to enter the ranks of candidates. You can learn more things from it, etiquette, governance, control, magic... you can have more contact with them." Pamish looked at Ye Xin Xia in the crowd with admiration, and the satisfaction on his face could hardly be hidden.
As soon as these words came out, the entire central hall became an uproar, and even the women on the side who had become waitresses in advance showed signs of fear and consternation.
The eyes of the more senior waitresses, Female Sage, are also focused on Ye Xin Xia, on this student who has been in Parthenon for less than a year.
Those eyes were filled with disbelief, jealousy, and dissatisfaction.
"Temple Mother, isn't there something wrong with this?" Great Sage Merola stood up first, his tone full of opposition.
Immediately afterwards, other Female Sages all expressed their opinions one after another. Without exception, they all opposed Temple Mother's hasty decision.
"My original intention is to let her learn more. It's not really for her to be chosen as a goddess, but to assist the goddess. Okay, you don't have to say anything." Temple Mother's voice left no room for doubt.
"Xin Xia, starting from next month, you will go to the back hall with other candidates to attend classes."
The meeting dispersed, and the waitresses and Female Sage once again turned their attention to Ye Xin Xia.
"Hmph, after getting such a big deal, and still pretending to be so calm and indifferent, don't you care about this candidate's chance?" Gulan, the old waitress who had been troubled by Ye Xin Xia, said with a sneer, the meanness on her face undisguised.
The great sage Merola walked up to Ye Xin Xia and raised his arrogant chin.
"Ye Xin Xia, did you hear what Temple Mother said? Since you will be a candidate next month, you are still a waitress now. There is an agenda epidemic over Croatia. You should go and have a look, so as to accumulate some prestige and avoid being gossiped about by others."
Before he finished speaking, the girl Fen Ai next to Ye Xin Xia became anxious. She was a companion who had joined Xin Xia as a waitress. At this moment, her whole little face was filled with dissatisfaction.
"Croatia's infectious disease is very serious and requires at least one Female Sage to solve it. How is it possible for Ye Xin Xia, who has just been promoted to maid, to go there..."
"Didn't Temple Mother just say that? Xin Xia is knowledgeable and I believe she can solve the problem there." Merola interrupted her with a hint of imperceptible sarcasm in her tone.
"But..." Fen Ai wanted to say more, but was gently stopped by Xin Xia's hand.
"I will solve it." Ye Xin Xia's tone was so calm that there was no wave.
"Let's set out tomorrow morning. Don't make the patients there suffer. If this matter is not handled well, I will punish you." Merola turned around and left with her condescending attitude.
"I will definitely handle it. After all, I'm not like some people who only care about rights and don't care about those lives." Ye Xin Xia said calmly.
"What did you say!?"
Gulan became angry instantly.
How could she not hear it? Ye Xin Xia was clearly slapping her in the face.
Merola's eyebrows twitched slightly, obviously angered by Ye Xin Xia's tough attitude.
But she couldn't say anything more, otherwise she would play into Ye Xin Xia's hands.
Fen Ai on the side was so frightened that his face turned pale.
It has been several months since they met, and she has never seen Ye Xin Xia so tough. In her memory, Xin Xia has always been that soft and weak look. Where has there ever been such a blade-like counterattack?
Seeing that Merola and Gulan didn't speak any more, Ye Xin Xia picked up Fen Ai and turned around to leave. From the beginning to the end, she never saluted those two people.
Not necessary.
On the way back to my residence.
Fen Ai was still chirping and scared about what happened just now, but Ye Xin Xia was silent.
Her thoughts drifted to far away places.
Brother... you are right, Parthenon is indeed not as beautiful as I imagined. Half of the organization has rotted under power...
Ye Xin Xia sighed helplessly.
"Xin Xia... It's okay. Together, we can definitely solve the epidemic of Croatia."
On the side, Fen Ai saw Ye Xin Xia sighing, thinking that she was worried about Croatia.
Obviously I don't have any confidence in my heart, but now I come to comfort others first.
"Thank you." Ye Xin Xia showed a gentle smile to Fen Ai.
What she was thinking just now was... why do you only say that half of the organization has been corrupted by power? Of course, it's because there are still pure people like Fen Ai in Parthenon, who regard saving the world as their own mission.
She wants to save this decadent organization and prevent more people from sinking in power!
"Don't worry, it will be solved, and it will be solved smoothly." Ye Xin Xia said.
"Xin Xia How can you be so confident? It's a level A infectious disease. If we're not careful, even we might be infected!"
Fen Ai's little face was full of surprise and disbelief. His mouth was wide open, and he was afraid of being heard, so he kept his voice down desperately. He was so serious and adorable.
"Of course it's because..." Ye Xin Xia's smile added a bit of gentleness and cunning, "I have a backer."
"I know, I happen to have time, and I just happen to accompany you to Croatia. You wait for me at Greece, and I will pick you up." Lu Ling said.
"Brother, thank you."
"You are my sister and my wife."
"... It's so embarrassing." On the other end of the phone, Ye Xin Xia's voice suddenly dropped, as if it was muffled under the quilt.
"Hang up now and have a good rest. You can see me tomorrow morning."
"Well, good night, brother!"
"Good night."
"..."
Lu Ling ended the call with a lingering smile on his lips. He tilted his head and called out lightly.
"Let's go, Essendel, go to Greece."
"Yes, King!" Essendel bowed his head respectfully.
"In front of outsiders, you should call me by my name. My name is Lu Ling."
"Okay, Mr. Lu."
"..."
