Chapter 119 - Tests

Minato and Wercia followed the gorgeous red-haired woman, slowly going deeper into Mount Tagram's territories.

Both of them expected to land in one of their provinces, but the angel didn't stop once. She guided them straight to Mount Tagram's feet.

That place was indeed exalted.

Minato sniffed the air and confirmed that it was much better than before. While it seemed like the medium world couldn't compare itself to Minato's world, unique lands such as Mount Tagram could.

That feeling assailed Minato even before stepping into the outside community, which meant that this medium world was indeed a much better place than the low world.

Besides, Minato and anyone from the low world would expect angels to appear in the higher worlds instead.

Yet, the angel shook her ass left and right as she guided Minato to his new residence in her lands.

"I wonder if she has been impregnated by someone..." Minato used Mind Whisper, surprising Wercia, who stood next to him.

She gulped down and replied in her own Mind Whisper, "While it is the easiest way to leave the dungeon, there are other tricks for dungeon races to leave the inside communities, Reverend. They are expensive from what I heard, though."

"Oh, I see," Minato nodded.

He knew that the angel before him was the dungeon race, so her leaving the inside community and freely moving in the medium world raised some curiosity. After learning about some tricks, Minato finally stopped and looked at his residence.

"This is your residence... To find your own balance between good and evil, you can try various tests in our Mount Tagram. If you want to see the truth about yourself and enter Saram Hall, you must pass three balance tests.

But if you pass one with a perfect score, you will be able to enter Saram Hall," Georgia explained, then bid farewell to the newcomers.

She flapped her wings and rose to the sky, leaving many races around her speechless as they never expected such an exalted woman guiding the newcomers.

After their eyes dropped onto Minato, he glanced at them and entered his new residence. Following him was naturally Wercia, who had long since understood the angel's words and deeds.

Georgia left Wercia with Minato. She didn't get residence for herself. Since the angel called him Reverend, Wercia understood that her purpose was to serve Minato and build a tight connection.

That was her path in the medium world!

Minato entered the two-flat house and looked around. It was a house perfect for one big family, so calling out his beloved seemed natural. However, Minato also saw through Georgia's schemes, finding it amusing.

"It was not Yuna and Bei this time, but the angel that drew enemies for me," Minato chuckled as he recalled the envious and curious glances from other Mount Tagram's people.

He then turned around and smiled at Wercia, "It seems like we are going to be together for some time more. Pick a room for yourself."

"Yes, Reverend!" Wercia bowed with respect.

Minato chuckled, "So you will still call me Reverend... Well, I don't really mind."

Wercia lifted her eyes and explained, "It is not a coincidence for us to meet, Reverend. In spite of misunderstandings between us, you are a good and kind-hearted person. I am willing to follow such a unique man!

Please, don't kick me!" She beseeched like a servant.

Although Wercia's impression of him was already deep and profoundly etched itself within her heart, Minato still couldn't believe her wholly. Before calling out his beloved and letting them have some fun in Mount Tagram, Minato decided to pass the tests and check whether he could find something about himself.

The question was, what exactly those tests were about? Minato needed information as Georgia just simply told him about tests and Saram Hall.

He decided to leverage Wercia just like she wanted to leverage him. He smiled at her and told her to go around the tests and see through them and their origins.

At the same time, Minato took the seat in the most enormous room. He started writing magic circles as his goal was to expand his already heavily limited arsenal.

So far, Minato just knew three magic circles.

Using Leona's written circles as the foundation, Minato started a profound training.

"I am back, Reverend!" Wercia returned a few hours later.

Her voice reached Minato, who was on the second floor. His eyes promptly opened, and he looked outside the window.

It was dark, yet Mount Tagram's peak shone in bright light similar to flames. Many lights were scattered around the peak and mountain's feet, coalescing beautiful pictures for adventurous hearts.

Minato was a man who enjoyed adventures, so he gawked at the scene before replying to his new friend.

Currently, Wercia was just like a friend. Still, with how Minato maintained their relationship, Wercia's future was either his maid or someone similar to Queen Julia. Unlike Georgia, Wercia didn't show any valuable traits for the Husbando Overlord.

Her swordsmanship was suitable for beginners such as Minato, however.

He stood up, left the bed, and strutted downstairs toward her location.

Minato's eyes widened as he noticed a bruise on Wercia's cheek, "Someone attacked you?"

Wercia awkwardly laughed and scratched her intact cheek, "I asked people around about the tests... Then, one of the horny guys wanted to have sex with me to balance his good and evil... I refused and told him that I was on a mission for Reverend.

He and his buddies were shocked when I used that title and asked who I work for... I told them the Reverend's name... They laughed and heaved sighs of relief, then threatened to force themselves onto me for lying to them..." Wercia explained.

She made the other group scared witless for a few seconds as Reverend was a known title in the Mount Tagram. But the name she gave them was an utterly random one, making them believe she was lying.

After relief washed over their hearts, the buddies circled Wercia and used their sheer pressure to punish her. They attacked from all sides, intending to make her submit herself to them.

"Take off your clothes," Minato said with a stoic expression.

Wercia bit her lips and slid down her long robes. Those robes were new, so Minato already suspected her body had sustained more wounds.

And as Wercia stood in nothing, but her undergarments only, Minato noticed bruises all around her body!

He told her to spin, and he eyed each bruise with narrowed eyes.

Minato sighed and fished out a beautifully written scroll. Its scent assailed Wercia with herb aroma, making her close her eyes. Her pain appeased just from sniffing it, and her mind nearly drifted for dreamland.

Minato held her shoulder, then passed the scroll, "Use it and heal your wounds. You can use it during the bath. It will make the whole process more pleasant."

"Thank you, Reverend... Don't you want to know about the tests, though?" Wercia asked as she tightly grasped the scroll with her hands.

Minato smiled faintly, "Your health is more important. After you take a bath, go to sleep and guide me to those vulgar tomorrow. It seems like you have some magnet toward dregs of society."

Wercia blushed, then bit her lips, "It's because I am beautiful, Reverend."

"Your beauty plays a role indeed," Minato chuckled, then sent his new friend to the bath.

The scroll he gave her was the cooperation between Ingrid and Leona. Although Ingrid couldn't translate her magic circles well, that scroll would alone solve many problems in the medium world.

Actually, the high world elves sold many treasures such as this scroll across high and medium worlds.

The fact that Minato had exclusive access to them was his good fortune.

His healing treasures were also of higher quality than the commonly sold stuff throughout the worlds. After all, Ingrid had a royal bloodline, and she worked with Leona. The latter's talent was recognized by the pioneering race with written magic circles.

[Next day.]

"Let me tell you a little about tests before we meet those vulgar, Reverend!" Wercia sweetly said as they were just about to leave their residence.

Minato nodded, then waited for her to open the doors.

After Wercia revealed the content outside, Minato passed through her and slowly strutted out.

Wercia caught up to his right side, then started the conversation about tests, "Those tests are based on our forte, Reverend. A swordsman like me would go to the Sword Balance Test and go through the illusions while holding the sword.

Some people focus on dual cultivation. They go through the Dual Cultivation Balance Test with many open-minded women and men.

For Reverend, I think the Magic Circle Test will suit the best! You can find your affinity with concepts and elements here!" Wercia explained.

Minato nodded with a big smile, his hand going up to caress the young lady, "Good work. We will pick up tests later. For now, stay behind me as I speak with those vulgar."

"As you wish, Reverend..." Wercia shyly looked down, then whispered in a barely audible tone, "Thank you...."
