"What is your name?"

Liens seriously gazed at the nun's face, asking for her name.

Asking for her name was for convenience in finding her later; at this stage, she had to admit there was a gap between herself and the other party.

If she couldn't even break through the turtle shell raised by the other person, there was no need to continue fighting.

She should go back and fight Adonis; fighting him, she could at least improve her swordsmanship, but this one here could only train her evasion skills.

"Given the rude behavior of the Dark Guard, you are required to pay 10 gold coins as a penalty."

"You now owe 11 gold coins. If possible, I hope you can pay the debt as soon as possible."

"Otherwise… I will collect it from the Glenbagen Family."

The nun did not answer Liens's question but calmly continued to speak.

Seeing that the nun in front of him had no intention of telling him her name, Liens left the instance.

There was no point in staying; he wouldn't look for her again for a while.

Unless his strength improved significantly one day, for example, by becoming an Extraordinary Knight or something.

Otherwise, he felt no different from a plaything in front of that nun now.

He really didn't know if the "Priest" profession was too strong? Or if this nun was stronger than an average Extraordinary One "Priest"?

However, he finally found a way to solve the trouble on Ben.

From the experience, that "Exorcism Ritual" should be without danger.

That nun had no need to lie, because if she really wanted to capture him, she could just act directly.

On the other side, while Liens was busy in the instance solving Ben's troubles, Ben and Harriman were returning from outside the city.

They had completed the family's monster hunting mission and obtained the required materials from the monsters, and were now rushing back to the family's station with the items.

"What's wrong?"

Harriman looked at Ben, who had been walking side by side but suddenly stopped, and asked him in confusion.

Ben smiled and replied to Harriman, "Nothing, I just suddenly thought of something."

Saying that, he stepped forward to catch up with Harriman, and the two walked side by side and talked again.

However, although he maintained his previous state, in reality, Ben's attention had shifted to the voice that suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Do you desire fairness?"

A mechanical voice sounded in Ben's mind.

Hearing this question, Ben remembered that he had also asked Liens the same question before.

He remembered Liens's answer at the time—

"Fairness? No, I desire breasts!"

Liens was serious when he answered, but after he finished speaking, he laughed to himself.

When asked, he didn't explain but said with a reminiscent expression, "I didn't expect that I could say this meme here; I miss the past a bit."

Ben didn't know what a "meme" was, but he couldn't answer that question in a joking way like Liens now.

Because he truly desired fairness, so he remained silent…

"What do you think is fairness?"

"Do you think it is fair now?"

"Do you think people should be equal?"

The mechanical voice sounded again, asking Ben questions one by one.

Ben remained silent…

"You work hard, live desperately, but in the end, you can't even afford to bury your mother and can only sell yourself into slavery."

"You keep saying you want to live, but after losing all your loved ones, you already wanted to die; it's just your parents' entrustment that keeps your body striving to live."

"You like the stories sung by bards, because the heroes in them are always treated equally."

"So, do you want to become a hero too? To use the rest of your Life to complete a cause that can bring equality to all people?"

The 'mechanical voice' continued.

"Can I also become a hero?"

Ben couldn't help but respond to the other party in his heart.

"Of course, every person who stands up is a hero, because you are supporting fragile bodies with noble wills."

"If you wish, you can silently recite My honorable name—God of Absolute Fairness Elthorp."

"I will provide you with My insignificant power to help you accomplish heroic great deeds."

The 'mechanical voice' responded.

Ben neither agreed nor refused; he hesitated…

He clearly knew this was the temptation of an evil god, but his heart was inevitably swayed, because this was his inner desire.

"I will wait for you… I believe you will definitely give yourself a satisfactory answer."

The 'mechanical voice' said lightly, and then the voice disappeared from Ben's mind.

"Are you thinking about something very serious? You seem a bit distracted all the way."

Harriman patted Ben's shoulder and looked at him with a slight frown.

"Ah… Harriman, what did you say?"

Ben exclaimed, then asked Harriman back awkwardly.

"I said, what makes you so distracted?"

Harriman emphasized his voice and spoke again.

"I'm hesitating about something very important to me, hesitating whether I should do it or not?"

Ben sighed.

"Is that thing difficult to do? As long as there is hope, as long as you want to do it, then just do it."

"Aren't people living by chasing goals?"

Hearing Ben's question, Harriman gave his answer handsomely.

Although he felt a bit of frustration from Liens, he had never given up his dream of becoming a great person.

If one doesn't work hard for dreams in Life, what's the difference from a salted fish?

"Goal? Just do it if you want to? That's very much your style of answer. I'll think about it again."

Upon hearing this, Ben smiled at Harriman, then fell into deep thought.

Seeing this, Harriman also tactfully did not continue to interrupt Ben's thoughts.

The two silently walked back to the family's station and submitted the mission.

Returning to the dormitory, Ben saw Liens lying on the bed sleeping, and was not too surprised.

Because Liens spent most of his rest time sleeping in the Training Camp.

"Maybe it's a habit he hasn't changed…"

Ben thought to himself.

However, it was almost lunchtime now, so Ben still planned to wake Liens up.

He came to Liens's bedside and cautiously patted Liens with his hand.

Ben hadn't forgotten what happened this morning.

And Liens had also told him about "swordsmanship instinct," which allowed him to react quickly and counterattack those who attacked him even in his sleep.

"Hmm? Ben, Harriman, you're back."

Liens opened his eyes, looked at Ben by the bed and Harriman not far away, and greeted them.

"Was the mission smooth? From your appearance, you must have taken on a more troublesome mission."

Liens saw that Ben and Harriman both had some small wounds, so he casually asked about their mission.

"Yes, we took on a mission to hunt monsters outside the Outer City for materials. Although it was a bit risky, we fortunately completed it smoothly."

Ben responded.

"Is that so? It's good that you're back safely… By the way, Ben, come out with me for a moment."

"I seem to have found a solution to your situation."

Liens whispered to Ben.

After speaking, he got up and walked out of the room, and Ben followed closely behind.

Harriman looked at this scene in confusion, wondering what private conversation the two were going to have again?

Walking to an unoccupied corner, Liens said to Ben, "Later, come with me to the church in the Outer City."

"There's an 'Exorcism Ritual' there that should be able to solve your evil god pollution problem."

Hearing this, Ben remained silent, staring blankly at Liens, wondering what he was thinking.

"Hmm? What's wrong, Ben?"

Liens saw that Ben remained silent and did not answer, frowned slightly, and looked at him in confusion.

"Liens, I've figured it out… Perhaps the identity of a cultist suits me better."

Ben suddenly exhaled and said to Liens seriously.
