202 Chapter 194 - Here Comes Maria and Suzaku.

"Well, fortunately enough, I do bring it, but are you sure about this, aren't you supposed to be resting right now?" Chris asked while taking that roll of map from his bag.

"Don't worry about me, I'm not that weak despite being a five thousand years old old man." said Dominic, jokingly.

"Well, I seriously wouldn't consider you as an old man, like hell would anyone consider you as an old man." said Chris, while opening that map in front of Dominic.

Dominic stared at the map before pointing out a big area on the map.

"This whole area is my territory, I shall help you with the investigation, but if you don't trust me, you can investigate these areas first, since these areas are the most suspected area after all the things happened recently in the town." said Dominic, Chris nodded without even giving any exact opinion on that statement from Dominic.

Then, Dominic pointed at another area on the map, and frowned. He hesitated for a while before giving out a long sigh.

"This area, despite being the territory of angels, is a land of filth and disasters. It's basically a living hell." said Dominic.

"Hmm? Any particular reasons behind this?" Chris asked.

"Well, angels are known to be clean and kind, but like humans, there will be some exceptions." said Dominic.

"Fallen angels?" Chris asked.

"No, they are not fallen... Just some who escaped the judgment." said Dominic which makes Chris really curious.

"Escape from judgment?" Chris asked.

"Well... This is a rather confidential matter, so I can't tell you in detail, but be extra careful if you actually plan to explore that place." said Dominic, Chris nodded without asking even deeper.

"And the remaining areas are in charged by another group of angels from Heavenly Realm, except for this area, which has no records at all, are you sure it is an angel's territory?" said Dominic while pointed at a really small area on the map.

"Hmm... Could be a technical error from my information provider. But I will still pay attention to it." said Chris. Dominic nodded and took another sip of the tea.

"By the way, how did you manage to make such a good tea, any special method or skill to share about it?" Dominic asked.

"Ha! That's a good question." said Chris with a rather proud smile.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

"That blue dragon was one of those ancient celestial beasts from the Celestial Palace, right? I thought it was supposed to be the mount of one of the Trinity of the Almighty Kingdom. So he does know the Trinity." said Dominic while watching the dragon disappeared in the sky.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Later, Secret base.

"Darling~~ Welcome back!!!" said Maria before fly-hugged Sky.

"Ah... Stop it, you are suffocating me..." said Sky, trying to escape from the hug.

"Here, some 'souvenir' for you all." said Chris, referring to that whole box of treasures given by Dominic as the reward for the quest.

Among the treasures, there are some extremely rare magic equipment and orbs.

"Choose anything you want from all those stuff, they are all good stuff." said Sky who had finally escaped from Maria's hug.

Then, Chris stared at Maria for a while.

"Before I forgot, there is something I would like to discuss with you... Do you... Uhm... By any chance wanted to visit Quill Town for once." said Chris.

"Uhm... Chris?" Sky found Chris's intention very suspicious while Maria nodded in a rather excited manner...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Later again, Quill Town, guard stand.

The guard is guarding the entrance of Quill Town as usual, although still a bit amazed by that rare sight of the blue dragon when he sends off the previous visitors with the high priest. He thought that will be the last time he will witness such a magnificent sight in his life. But then, all of the sudden, a flaming red golden phoenix appeared in the sky and landed outside the entrance. Then a lady with long red hair came down from the phoenix and start walking towards him... Well... Have a good look, he is actually a guy, yes, that's our dear Maria.

"Hello there~ Chris-chan told me that if I show you this, you will understand." said Maria while showing a piece of orb to the guard, the guard immediately recognized that as a belonging of Dominic.

"I see. You must be a guest for His Grace, I shall inform His Grace before leading you to the cathedral." said the guard, in a polite tone. And so, he enquired the opinion from Dominic through a magic crystal that they used as communicators.

"His Grace said he is indeed waiting for a guest that is recommended by Mr. Chris. I believe you are the right person, let's have a brief check-up before I lead you to His Grace." said the guard before taking out an eye-shaped crystal ball and placed it in front of Maria.

*Something out of the story

Sky: "Dear readers."

Chris: "Hmm?"

Sky: "As what Chris said. Right now, this story is free on the authorized platform, so please read it from authorized platforms as mental support for the writer."

Chris: "Mhm... There are two authorized platforms. One is webnovel.com. And another one is that messy and half-dead Weebly site that she uses for draft and backup... But not recommended."

Sky: "Ah... Haha. Yes, as Chris said."

Chris: "But look out, those scums might change this note to their own website link. So, be cautious.

Sky : "By the way, if the cover page is the old cover page that shows  two stickmen, stop reading it, it's cursed and might caused the writer to stop writing."
