Chapter 37: Caught?

Lambard didn't stop the two youngsters from leaving. He had just casually asked them if they wanted to take part in the auction, but he knew that it was impossible for them.

The two of them might be in the same position in the hierarchy as the other Church Leaders, but unlike the others, they didn't have money. The two of them didn't have the massive wealth that was amassed by the Churches of Elements. It was useless to stop them since it could just waste their own time.

Moreover, the faster they left, the faster he could get the Eye of Osiris in his arsenal.

Lambard bid the two youngsters farewell, but he didn't escort them out personally. The task was given to the maid that had escorted them inside.

The maid took the two youngsters to the exit of the Castle, where the horse was already waiting for the two.

Gabriel climbed on the horse first before helping Lira up. Taking one last glance at the mysterious castle, he departed.

In another part of the city, Elora had already found a hotel. She even paid in advance for a few days as she booked three rooms. All three ladies went to individual rooms.

Elora went straight to a shower in her room. As for Joan, she dropped onto her bed, seemingly somewhat lazy. As for Ruyi, she went to the balcony to observe the chaotic city.

"So many illegal things are happening in this place, but no one can do anything. All because of that Lambard. No wonder he is arrogant."

Through the balcony, she could see many shops selling illegal items. If it were up to her, she would've destroyed all these shops. Unfortunately, Elora had issued some strict instructions to her that she wasn't allowed to do anything in this city that could offend Lambard.

They needed the map from Lambard, and they needed to be like guests. For the next few days, they couldn't get themselves in any conflict here.

Even though Ruyi believed that some of Elora's decisions were a dark blot on the prestige of the Church of Water since it made them look like cowards, she couldn't do anything against it. Elora was selected by the Holy Grimoire instead of her.

"Why did the Holy Grimoire have to select that coward Elora when I was there as well. I was in the Church longer than her. I've been the most senior, and I wasn't a coward like her. Yet, right before my eyes, the Grimoire selected her. I can't understand what it saw in that girl."

Ruyi let out a tired sigh. She was really missing the last Head of the Church of Water. She was nothing like Elora. She was more ruthless and stubborn.

She wasn't scared of anything. She even chose to go alone to the city of Ruins. Under her, no one dared to disrespect the Church of Water, but under Elora, even two kids disrespected their authority. She really hated the fact that she couldn't do anything.

Even though Ruyi couldn't hurt Lira and Gabriel here, she made up her mind that whenever she was going to see the two of them in the future, she was going to teach them what it meant to know their place.

"Hmm? Those two...?"

Ruyi was lost in her own thoughts as she stood on the balcony when she noticed a horse passing from right before the hotel she was staying in. As for the people who sat on the horse, they were none other than the two arrogant kids.

She looked in the direction they were going in, realizing that they were going to the exit.

A clever smirk spread across her lips. "So you're leaving this place? What perfect timing. I can't teach you a lesson inside this city, but who says I can't do the same outside? Let the games begin..."

Ruyi raised her right hand, casting a formation above her. A staff flew out of the formation to land in her hands.

"Wings of Purity!" Using the staff, she cast a spell.

A mystical blue light surrounded the staff that was held by her, and the same light covered all her body as well. Before long, two beautiful wings appeared behind her back.

Unlike the Mages of Winds, who could fly from the start, the Mages of Water couldn't fly that easily. They could only master a Wing Spell when they became capable of using High Tier Spells, which Ruyi could use.

Ruyi's body started rising in the air as she followed Gabriel and Lira without informing Elora and Joan.

Back at the Central Castle, Lambard was sitting on his throne with a cup of tea in his hand.

The maid stood right beside Lambard. "Sir, do you believe the Church of Light will also send someone to bid?"

"Heh, I doubt they will," Lambard answered. "They hate this city as this city contains their shameful secret. They won't come here even for the Map of the City of Ruins."

"Still, there's a possibility that they might send someone who isn't a member of the Church of Light to bid for them. It doesn't matter in any case. More participants mean higher bidding. It's just more money for us, so I won't mind even if the Church of Light sends someone."

He took another sip. "You really do have some great talent in making tea."

"I'm glad you like it, Master."

"I-" Lambard glanced toward the window abruptly. "Hmm?"

"Is something the matter, Master?"

"I guess you can say that. One of our guests from the Church of Water is following Gabriel and Lira. I don't think she has any good intentions."

"Should I go and stop her?" The young maid asked grimly.

"Heh, no need. As I told you, I only enforce my laws in the city. Outside the city, I don't interfere. If she fights here, I'll send you to take her down. But if all three of them leave the city, then it'll all be on them. I won't do anything no matter who is killed."

"But Master, don't you have use for those two? If they died, who would bring the Eye of Osiris for you?"

"If the two Rulers of Elements can't face one Head Priestess of Water, then I don't think they were capable of getting Eye of Osiris in the first place. The Head Priestess of Water is nothing before what they might face in the Royal City. And in that place, Gabriel is going to be alone as well," Lambard explained as he took another sip of his tea.

"This can be their first test. If they pass, then good. If they fail, then they aren't worth my time at all. The ring will get back to me, and I'll give it to Elora for a month."
