The hall quieted after that. The torches flickered, casting long shadows against the sacred walls. Ethan stood straight, his face unreadable.
To those watching, he looked cold and composed, a man who accepted gains and challenges alike without letting his heart waver.
Inside, though, his resolve only grew stronger. The path ahead would not be easy, but it was his to walk.
Once the handling process finished, Ethan wasted no time to reply but just as he was about to leave, Bishop Joseph appeared with a smile.
"Sir Blanks,you are surely blessed by the Goddess."
"Blessed?"Ethan muttered inwardly with a frown.
"Yes you are…I can sense a dazzling aura of brightness emerging from you."
Ethan froze a bit and looked at the Priest 's smiling face and then looked at the statue of the lady.
And for some reason,he felt a faint smile tucked on the lips of the statue.
'Huh!Am I hallucinating!'
He rubbed his eyes a bit and then saw the statue's lips were in normal position.
