My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character! - Chapter 323

Chapter 323: Chapter 323: Winds of Change
While the four continents were coming to terms with the rumor about the conflict that was brewing between the four continents, the Merchant Ship entered the territory of the Western Continent.

Even though the Ship Captain was also cautious, he couldn’t give up and return. As Merchants, they prioritized profit over anything else. Until the warhorns were sounded, he couldn’t stop trading between the two continents.

If they stopped trade at this point, then it might give the wrong signal to the Holy Empire about the intentions of the Southern Continent, which was the last misunderstanding that anyone wanted to be caused at a sensitive time like this.

Even though Eren was concerned about the things happening in the background, he also understood that he couldn’t give up on his plans at this point.

If anything, he needed to find the Celestial Dragon’s heart before the war actually began. There was one more thing he needed from the Continent, which was the Holy Priestess’ blood.

Unfortunately, that was even harder than finding the Celestial Dragon’s heart. He couldn’t even reach the Holy Priestess as it was said that she never left the Church of the Holy Empire.

He could disguise himself as a priest but that was completely useless in the Western Continent.

Every citizen of the Western Continent was blessed by the Divine Power of the Goddess. Even an ordinary person had a miniscule amount of it. As for the Priests, it was even higher.

Even if he was to disguise as a priest, he couldn’t fake divine power. The priests could sense the divine powers in other people so it was only a matter of time before they recognised him as a false Priest.

With his biggest advantage of disguise becoming useless, Eren wasn’t entirely sure how he was going to take the Blood of the Holy Priestess who was just as strong as the other Overlords.

No, she was even stronger than the other Three Overlords as long as she was in the Western Continent which was her domain.

The strength of the other three Overlords didn’t depend on their location. They were as strong in their continents as they were in other Continents but the Holy Priestess was different.

In other Continents, she could reveal her true strength. But in her own continent, her strength was at least doubled. At least that’s what Eren had heard. He wasn’t quite sure how true it was.

He had already fought the Archbishop in the Western Continent and it was true that the person was stronger here.

If even an Archbishop had such an increase in strength then what about the Holy Priestess who was the most divine entity in the Western Continent after the Goddess that no one had seen before?

Lost in thoughts, Eren stood on the deck, looking at the distant setting sun in the direction of the Eastern Continent.

‘I wonder who is stronger? The Author or the Goddess?’

At many times, he felt like summoning the author but he was still saving the Question Voucher, not wanting to waste it if possible. The more time he took before using it, the better the picture of this world he could have.

….

While Eren was on his way to the Royal City of the Holy Empire, a lot had changed in the other Continents.

As Eren had promised, Mist’s daughter was left in front of the Mythical Hero Academy at the end of the two days’ deadline.

She wasn’t harmed in the least, not even a single scratch being left on her body. Mist quickly took her inside to make sure that she was perfectly fine.

Fortunately, Eren had kept his promise and hadn’t harmed her. Even though Mist hated the person who took her daughter, she was also slightly glad that he didn’t break his promise.

She asked her daughter where Eren had taken her but her daughter couldn’t answer the question.

“I don’t remember. I remember being taken through the portal and passing out. After that, I woke up here. I do feel as if I have had a long sleep.”

The young girl rubbed her forehead, feeling extremely well rested.

“I see. So he used a sleeping spell,” Mist narrowed her eyes, finding it slightly confusing.

Why did Devourer make her daughter sleep? Just which place did he take her that he didn’t want her to know about?

Eren told her that he left her daughter in a battle land, tied to a formation that could kill her if he didn’t return. But for that, there was no need to put her to sleep.

The more she thought about it, the more it didn’t make sense. First, the old woman was unable to find her daughter in the four continents as if she had just disappeared and then the caution of Eren made her feel that something was really amiss.

“Not in the four continents but also a place that he didn’t want us to know? There are only three places like that… Spirit Realm, Hell and…”

She didn’t finish her sentence but she appeared to have come to a conclusion.

….

Meanwhile in the Western Continent, the Cardinal was informing the Holy Priestess about the success they had. They completed the mission and they were proud of it. They had killed the envoys of the Eastern Continent before they could even enter the Western Continent.

“We made sure that their ships crashed in the Northern Continent, making it clear that the Necromancer Tower attacked them. There are no traces of holy power left behind,” he said.

“We have also made sure to have the rumors spread in all four continents while making sure that they can’t be traced back to us,” he continued.

“What about the envoys?” The Holy Priestess asked.

“As for the envoys, we have already taken them prisoners and sealed them. Even the Gods can’t detect them. We are just waiting for your further instructions. Should we kill them?”

“There is no need to kill them. I have a better use for them in mind.” The Holy Priestess smiled but didn’t explain further.
