Chapter 1053: The Candidate for the Goddess

“Miss Conti, why would I do anything like that? Don’t you worry,” Beny replied, yet he had already made up his mind. In order to prevent Conti from reading his mind, he quickly switched the topic, “Miss Conti, did you come to Venice to watch the tournament?”

“It’s only one of the reasons. Apparently, the Mediterranean Sea hasn’t been peaceful lately. There are signs of something that shouldn’t be here. As a member of the Shoreline Alliance, I have an obligation to patrol the area,” Conti said.

“Oh, I see. Could it be a misbehaving sea monster?” Beny said.

Spain was also a maritime country. It had long been harassed by sea monsters, and its people were very sensitive about them!

“I would rather it be a sea monster, but I’m afraid it’s something that has existed for a longer time,” Conti said.

“It sounds like Miss Conti is going to be quite busy soon. Speaking of which, I haven’t seen Sister Asha’ruiya lately, how is she doing?” Beny asked with glittering eyes, suddenly felt restless when he thought of Asha’ruiya’s glamorous face and alluring physique.

Both she and the ice beauty on the national team were priceless, worthy to be included in his collection.

“That girl? She must be training diligently now. I am actually on my way to see her; does the prince want to come along?” Conti asked.

“Sure, Miss Conti… oh, actually, I’ll pass this time. I’ll find some other day to drink afternoon tea with Sister Asha’ruiya.” Beny was initially looking forward to it, but when he remembered his current appearance, he totally lost his mood to meet the gorgeous beauty.

Greece, a citadel in Athens…

The Sacred Mountain of Parthenon was surrounded by purple orchids. Their brilliance was visible in every corner in the citadel.

The people living in the Citadel of Athens rarely fell sick, since it had the Parthenon Temple, the place with the strongest Healing Magic in the world. It was like the citadel was forever bathed in the Goddess’ light of protection.

At the top of the sacred mountain stood the noble Hall of the Goddess. It was constructed from purple crystals, and despite existing for millennia, it was still in perfectly good condition. The night had just fallen, and the moon was bright and round, setting off the elegance and solemn presence of the Hall of the Goddess!

—

Within the central hall of the Hall of the Goddess, rhomboids of purple crystals dangled from the ceiling, and produced a pleasant melody when a breeze swept past, soothing and calm.

The floor was made of darker crystals. The artisan’s skill was so exceptional that there were no gaps anywhere. It was lustrous, yet solemn.

Reflections of alluring silhouettes on the floor were fairly common, as the members of the Hall of the Goddess were all required to wear white dresses with girdles. Xinxia would always giggle when she saw the reflections on the floor, as when she described the situation of the Hall of the Goddess to Mo Fan, the fool strongly believed he would be able to peek at the legs and underwear of the women via the reflections. The truth was, even if the women were not wearing girdles, the dark floor that resembled the night sky would not easily expose anyone.

Most importantly, no man was allowed in the Hall of the Goddess. Even the leader of the knights could only wait outside, not permitted to set his feet into the hall.

“Forget the courtesy, it’s inconvenient for you too. I heard that you saved the lives of many soldiers in Puccini, Egypt, earning the love and esteem of the locals. You even went to war with the army, and came up with a brilliant idea to help the army, helping them to get rid of the mirage,” Hall Mother Felin said.

“Yes, Hall Mother,” Xinxia slightly lowered her head. She actually did not look very natural.

She was not good at lying. After all, it was Mo Fan that came up with the idea and defeated the Dark Swordmaster, but Mo Fan asked Xinxia to take all the credit, despite her objection.

It was necessary for the servants of the Parthenon Temple to earn the love and esteem of the world, so they could be promoted to a Muse and be granted access to the real Healing Magic of the Parthenon Temple. It was all Mo Fan’s contributions instead of hers, yet Mo Fan had forced her to take all the credit, and she was quite troubled by it.

“Mmm, you were able to secure the victory for the army in the battle against the undead with your profound knowledge. It is very impressive. Initially, you were to be promoted to an official Servant after your training, making you an official member of the Parthenon Temple. However, you’ve done well bringing honor to the name of the Parthenon Temple, so I will make an exception and put your name down as a candidate. You have been outstanding as an exchange student, but since you aren’t an actual student of the Parthenon Temple, just think of it as a chance to learn. Courtesy, management, sacred arts; feel free to learn any of them, it might come in handy when you support the Goddess in the future,” the Hall Mother smiled. The gaze she leveled on Xinxia was brimming with satisfaction.

Not only was Xinxia shocked by her words, a few other women who were just promoted as official servants were astounded too!

Many of the Servants and Muses that had served in the Hall of the Goddess for many years put their attention on Xinxia. Their eyes were filled with disbelief, but that was soon replaced with envy and dissatisfaction!

“Hall Mother, isn’t that inappropriate? Ye Xinxia is only an exchange student to the Parthenon Temple. She’s fortunate enough to enroll in the Parthenon Temple, how can she be listed as a candidate? There are three criteria a candidate has to fulfill! Leaving her bloodline aside, her nationality isn’t even appropriate! Second, she hasn’t been recommended by more than seven Muses! Last, her cultivation isn’t strong enough to meet the requirements…” the Great Muse Mellaura immediately objected.

“The Great Muse is right; people will be criticizing us if we suddenly list a probationary servant as a candidate,” the other Muses quickly spoke up in support.

The Servants had no right to speak, but their expressions alone were enough to convey their thoughts. They strongly disagreed with this! They had spent years in the Parthenon Temple, yet they could not even get a promotion. Meanwhile, Ye Xinxia was just a newbie! The old servants were already thinking about how they could abuse the girl. To their surprise, the Hall Mother suddenly promoted her to a candidate. Wouldn’t that mean the Servants would have to serve her, and even the Muses have to respect her, too?

How could they allow the sparrow to suddenly transform into a phoenix?

It was true that she had contributed greatly in Puccini and brought glory to the name of the Parthenon Temple. However, wasn’t the reward too good to be true?
