Following me there, I would post daily about novels and news, new characters, and possible outcomes of the characters.

James stopped walking, the group had already reached a cleaner street, whose small restaurants were opening, bakeries with the fragrant smell of bread and cookies permeating the sides, the milkman handing out bottles of milk as he was greeted by an owner of good-natured home with a child holding her skirt, a man with a donkey carrying baskets of cabbages and carrots to one side, while youths brought sacks of fruit unloading an old cart with several pretty red apples to a local produce stand.

Nothing too fancy, but it was so warm to look at that Emery couldn't believe, such a contrast between the neighborhood they'd been in before and the street they'd been in today.

When Emery looked back just to compare the neighborhood, there was no longer the dreary neighborhood just a few tall, clean buildings written "Precinct", Belcato Judicial Administration and Chamber of Commerce in an elegant, polished red wood.

"But what's going on?" Anael also said with surprise, only Emery could hear the again confused murmurs of the spirit of light.

However, Anael wasn't the only one surprised, the group and Emery seemed as surprised as the spirit of light, just quieter.

"It's always like this, it all starts with a good old Dolores meal" James said without looking surprised.

"That... What is this town of Belcato?" Emery finally asked.

"A temporal ghost town"

"What's a…" Naill wanted to ask but was interrupted by Emery.

"Is everyone here dead?" Emery had his voice raised, not realizing that nervousness had taken hold of him, despite the seriousness of his face, the high, nervous tone only made him sound authoritative and a little fierce.

However, how can he not get nervous and remain calm in such a situation?

Had he died from the clash of powers that night?

Speaking of death so early on a nice, clean morning, of course it would attract attention from the people around.

The people who were following their lives stopped to look at Emery in a startled way, only to be fascinated by the unknown red-haired man's beauty and startled by James' burn-skinned appearance.

"Don't talk nonsense, you must be exhausted come on, let's go to the Judicial Administration building to buy a house" James said, feeling the questioning and somewhat hostile looks from the people.

Emery didn't want to go, but James just took his arm and led him anyway, seeing James' attitude people backed away not wanting to get involved in their family problem.

"But aren't those two church novices?" someone asked while buying pumpkin soup from a fast food cart near the General Goods Store.

"They may be novices from other cities, it's not uncommon for novices to join their families to come to our city's Autumn Festival," the cart owner said, putting the copper coins in a small wooden box.

"I thought the church was stricter with the novices..." the man commented taking a sip of the soup broth, which was sweet, the meat tasted not much, but as it was cold, he didn't mind so much as a Sweet soup would give you more energy to work at the store.

"It depends on the family, if you are noble... Well, you must be careful when talking about these novices now, they may be nobles"

"Wearing those clothes? You saw the dark elf with them, very rare around here" the person drank another sip of soup and took the wooden spoon to eat the little meat and some pieces of cooked vegetables, the potatoes looked very appetizing.

"Clothing can be just a disguise. Didn't you see how the dark elf was submissive to them? Who else could have such a submissive noble species if they were not of a powerful and even more noble family?" the cart owner said scolding the customer, who was already a regular customer, they already had a certain intimacy for so many months interacting in the morning.

"It's true, I was being very short-sighted. As always, old Luigi has the best vision"

"Oh, stop these empty compliments, I'm not giving you any more soup!" Luigi said wanting to look fierce with his big, round and short body, but he had a cheerful smile, which made him look like one of those people who looked very kind.

Of course, Luigi ended up giving the customer another bowl of soup, but the customer paid half the price of the dish.

After all, he was still a merchant.

Life seemed to have returned to normal, and people gradually forgot about the foreigners who had caused the commotion that morning.

Back in 1825 at the Abbey Matteo, chaos seemed to set in once again, fortunately not because of a murder but because everyone was busy looking for Novice Naill.

"What a tragedy!"

"Ah, how can a young man like him disappear like that..."

"Haven't you seen Naill around? You don't see him... Are you really sure?"

"I haven't seen him since last night when our monitor closed the building door... Brother Mattias seems to have disappeared too, did the two run away together?"

"Brother Mattias? Are you talking about Knight Giuliani's disciple? I saw him looking for him"

"Oh, yes, there was a scandal in the kitchen because someone told Knight Giuliani that the head chef wanted to take advantage of his brother Mattias... And now Mattias has disappeared without a trace"

"Very suspicious... I was there, and I saw the cook turning pale when confronted by Sir Giuliani... It was very emotional, that perverted cook got pulled over and got punched!"

"Tsk... Tsk... did he get beaten up a lot?"

"Not as much as it should"

A group of 6 novices were chatting animatedly despite the gloomy atmosphere that had descended on Matteo Abbey.

"Nothing around here either... Where's that god?" Arabeth complained to Azarphy seeing the group of young people pass by, he was in a bad mood and looked quite dejected.

"Should we leave?" Giovanni also questioned Azarphy. Bao had already returned and was now sleeping in the human arms.

If Arabeth looked haggard, Bao couldn't even open his eyes he was so tired, with the master away without feeding him he had no desire to exist in the human dimension anymore.

"If you leave... When that human's employee returns, won't he think our human ran away too?" Azarphy said coldly.

"Do you want me to tell you that Bishop Darcy was kidnapped by a temporal ghost town?" Giovanni asked in disbelief, if it wasn't for everything that happened to him in the last week, he wouldn't believe it if someone spoke of a temporal ghost town.

He could already imagine Bishop Darcy's dangerous butler eyeing him coldly and then grimly interrogating him to find out where Emery was.

Azarphy was silent for a moment, well, he knew he couldn't divulge this matter easily, humans might be scared of Emery when he returned from the ghost town.

After all, this could be considered demonic.

"No, you don't need to say anything. Aillil will be back tonight."

"Mister angel…" Giovanni started to say, he didn't know where to look as the angel remained invisible to him.

"Call me Azarphy, can't you wait a while for Aillil to arrive, and you want to leave?" Azarphy's voice grew colder, he despised the human a little.

"It's not that, I... Ah, I have a way of getting to Bishop Darcy..."

"Oh, does a weak human like you have a solution that even a god is taking a long time to come up with?" Azarphy said with a touch of sarcasm.

"Yes, I have a solution... I know how to open a dimensional portal... And there is a divine item here that can be used as a compass to locate where Bishop Darcy is."

Giovanni even feeling a little afraid of Azarphy couldn't help but say what he thought, after all, he was worried about Emery.

In fact, it was Yani who knew about the matter, but as he was going to work the spell to open a dimensional portal, he had to guard his strength and couldn't take over Giovanni's body right now.

"Like..."

"Don't ask how, or anything else... I can't explain right now, and I prefer not to lie" Giovanni said even more nervous feeling a heavy gaze on him, but not being able to see the angel was even more frightening, especially when he interrupted the speech of the other.

Azarphy was silent for a long time, but Arabeth, who was in a foul mood, grabbed Giovanni's arm and said:

"What do you need? Come on, let's go after that weak human!"

Arabeth's bad mood turned to a little desperate excitement at the thought that she could get his master back.

On the other hand, Emery became the owner of a small house with three bedrooms, a living room, a suite, a kitchen, a front yard, a large backyard, an outside bathroom and a toilet... For the cheap price of 3 coins of gold.

The good part is that the house was in a neighborhood it was close to the main avenue near the central square, of course, when he arrived at the street he saw the reason for such low price.

The house was practically ruined and isolated by the wild garden.

It certainly wasn't worth 3 gold coins!
