"Alright, no more jokes."

"Mr. Liens, Miss Lucrezia, is there something you need from me?"

Nora put away her playful thoughts and asked about Liens's and Lucrezia's purpose.

"Originally, it was just curiosity to meet you because Lucrezia kept mentioning a new member, but after meeting you, my thoughts have expanded."

"Miss Nora, would you be interested in an exchange regarding your path?"

Liens responded earnestly, simultaneously extending an invitation to Nora for a 'discussion of the True Path'.

People who have entered the Master realm are rare, let alone a powerhouse like Nora, who seems to have already embarked on the path of 'True Path Realization'. Since he was so lucky to encounter her, he naturally wanted to understand her path.

"Precisely my intention."

Nora nodded readily, accepting Liens's invitation.

"After leaving the Elven Forest, I've traveled various countries, and during that time, I've visited many 'Saints' from different nations."

"However, most of them are concerned with the fate of their respective kingdoms and won't easily reveal their own situations. Those who actively invite me for an exchange, like you, are extremely rare exceptions."

"Moreover, your aura is very special. I had a vague feeling when you were unconscious earlier, and now that I see you, sure enough… it's a very comfortable scent."

Nora leaned closer to Liens, twitching her nose like a cute puppy deeply inhaling the aura emanating from Liens, then showing a look of satisfaction.

Looking at the 'giant' so close and Nora with a 'lovestruck' expression, Liens was a little unsure whether he should push her away.

"So, I'm very curious about what kind of path you're truly walking?"

Nora put away the satisfied look on her face and looked at Liens with curious eyes, her pupils reflecting starlight as if they truly lit up at that moment.

"Saint?"

Liens did not pretend to understand, expressing his confusion appropriately.

"The term 'Saint' comes from ancient times. In that era when the Old God still resided high in the heavens, 'Saint' was a title for the incarnations of deities. Now, it's mostly used to refer to those at your level."

Lucrezia showed off her existence, lest Liens and Nora 'play around' and forget her on the side.

"This is a common term in the great nations, mainly used to describe those below the Legend realm who have not yet completed their Life transformation, but whose strength far exceeds the scope of the second tier."

"Besides 'Saint', there are also titles like 'Enlightened One' and 'Demigod'."

"'Enlightened One' refers to those who have realized and are walking their own path, while 'Demigod' refers to those with strength comparable to deities. Of course, the deities here refer to the Old God."

"The existence of true gods has already transcended the realm that mortals can comprehend."

Nora added.

"Although it's said to be common, in reality, powerhouses at the 'Saint' level are extremely rare even in great nations. Many small countries with millions of people may not even have one such existence."

"The situation of the Hartwin Kingdom is also among the stronger ones among the many small countries I have traveled."

"Before I came here, I only heard of that Lord Demonbane, but I didn't expect to meet you… Indeed, cheerful and outgoing girls like me always receive the favor of destiny."

"Let's go, let's find a place to exchange, I can't wait."

Nora gently nudged Liens with an expectant look, urging him to hurry up and not waste precious time.

"Then let's go back to Liens's room to talk."

Lucrezia made the suggestion, and the other two nodded, not objecting. Then, the three of them returned to Liens's room together.

After all, it was a room in a noble estate. Although it wasn't luxurious enough to rival a palace, the exquisite decor was subtly elegant, giving one a comfortable feeling just by being in the room.

In a profound yet colloquial way, the feng shui was good.

Nora surveyed the room, then smiled strangely and said, "One big bed, one man and two women… I seem to have seen this kind of plot in some picture books, tsk tsk~"

After speaking, she crossed her arms over her chest and feigned a very scared look at Liens, appearing as if she was very worried that Liens would suddenly go crazy and attack her.

"If it were to develop into that kind of picture book plot, the current layout of the room would appear a bit too understated. Let me change it."

Lucrezia, who was beside them, seemed to enjoy playing pranks with Nora. As she spoke, she waved one hand, and the room's decor immediately transformed from an elegant style into a certain kind of suggestive room.

There were even some strange toys placed in the corner.

Seeing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Nora's eyes, and her gaze towards Lucrezia held a few more unexpected elements.

"I didn't expect Miss Lucrezia to also enter the Master realm. It seems the upcoming exchange will be even more interesting."

Nora laughed.

As she spoke, she scurried around the transformed room like a curious little mouse, looking left and right, observing the room's scenery, and analyzing the composition of these fictional objects.

"Oh, it's just a clumsy skill… Miss Nora has traveled many countries, so you must be well-informed. I'll trouble Miss Nora to point out my shortcomings later."

Lucrezia smiled, responding humbly.

"Miss Lucrezia is too modest."

"Although it's just starting, the ability to materialize fantasies is very rare. At least among the people I know, you are the only one with this ability."

"I'm very curious about what direction Miss Lucrezia has chosen?"

Nora praised Lucrezia's unique ability while playing with the 'toy' in her hand, her expression carrying a strange excitement.

After a while, Nora stopped her movements. She remembered that now was not the time to study these things, so she turned to Liens and Lucrezia to apologize.

"I apologize, both of you… Because it's my first time seeing this kind of ability that exists in records, I got a little carried away."

"As an apology, I'll start this exchange."

Liens and Lucrezia wouldn't mind this, but since Nora said so, they naturally went along with her wishes, letting her be the first to expound on her path.

Lucrezia removed the fictional objects in the room, allowing the somewhat 'disharmonious' atmosphere to return to seriousness.

"The path I walk is called 'Maiden'."

"'Maiden' is composed of 'Ma' as a tributary of time, and 'iden' as a branch of Life. The intertwining of Life and time together forms the vitality named 'Maiden'."

Nora elucidated her path with a serious expression.

She opened her right hand, and a verdant ball of light floated from her palm. Along with it, vigorous Life force ascended within the room, and a vibrant energy began to influence the surroundings.

Liens did not resist the influence of Nora's power. He carefully observed the verdant light ball in Nora's palm, while meticulously analyzing the affected state.

He could feel that under the influence of this power, his thoughts became more active, various strange ideas popped into his mind, and even his body began to feel an urge to do something.

Beside him, after experiencing Nora's power, Lucrezia's complexion became rosy, and her breathing gradually deepened.

She withdrew her gaze from the verdant light ball in Nora's palm, her eyes fixed intently on Liens, that naked gaze seemingly conveying a deep inner desire.

"Hmm?"

Liens noticed Lucrezia's abnormality, his brows slightly furrowing. He temporarily halted his analysis of Nora's power, then used his will to stabilize her fluctuating mind.

"Are you alright?"

A concerned tone sounded in her mind, causing Lucrezia to discard the distracting thoughts in her heart.

"For a moment, I wasn't careful and was influenced by the distracting thoughts that arose in my mind."

"The power I used to heal you earlier caused 'Him' to fall into slumber. During this period, I can only bear that 'madness' myself."

"Don't worry, I've already established a connection with the world now, and my capacity to bear it is much stronger than before. As long as I maintain stability, it won't cause serious effects."

Lucrezia did not conceal anything, directly explaining her current situation to Liens.

"Although 'madness' cannot be cleared, if you want to help me, there is a way."

"Because you keep rejecting me, my desire for you has been constantly accumulating. If it can be released, it should make me feel a bit lighter, so…"

At this point, Lucrezia deliberately paused, as if leaving room for Liens's imagination. Liens could even feel her smile as she said this.
