Global Game: I Can Choose Instance Rewards-Chapter 528 - 363: Departure and Visit

"Great Messenger, my name is Irina, and I am a witch. I have never harmed innocents, but three days ago, a group of bandits broke into my residence, brutally knocked me to the ground and tied me up. Then they kept torturing me to force me to admit to crimes that endangered the kingdom..."

At this moment, in an underground room, the young woman with black hair, who had fully recovered, was recounting her experience to Wang Zhifan.

She now looked much better than her previous ravaged state. Although her face still bore traces of many tears, her eyes no longer held the previous despair and fear but were filled with newfound peace.

"Alright, Miss Irina, please rest assured, you will be safe from now on. Wherever my Lord’s gaze falls, all evil will eventually be punished."

Wang Zhifan nodded to the woman and then looked at another woman beside her.

"My Lord Messenger, you can call me Bella. I was originally a wizard serving the noble class, but because I refused an unreasonable request from a count, they put me in prison to endure torture, and then sent me to the stake..."

Unlike Irina, who is of medium build with pure black hair, the woman who called herself Bella was petite with a head of smooth blonde hair. It’s hard to imagine such a woman being framed by a big man.

"Hmm... Did the two of you know each other before? Or do you think there might be any common reason behind your persecution?"

After listening, Wang Zhifan tried to understand what madness was occurring in this kingdom. Generally speaking, collective actions have their reasons.

"I don’t know... I rarely went out before, and not only have I not seen Bella, I also don’t know many other wizards."

Irina said while looking at the witch hunter Gate beside her, indicating that he was the only person she knew present.

"I do know something..."

The petite blonde Bella immediately replied.

"While in prison, a witch once mentioned that the reason those people arrest wizards is not because we’ve done anything wrong, but because the current king intends to take advantage of the low tide of magic power to eliminate us, the potential threats. He will only leave a faction of wizards with royal bloodlines who are completely loyal to him, while using the military to clear out all other wizards one by one. Unless we completely go into hiding, there’s no escape from being killed."

Once she finished speaking, Wang Zhifan and the others felt what she said made sense.

"So that’s it, I was wondering why there were also wizards among those hosting the burnings; turns out they’re lackeys of the kingdom!"

The witch hunter Gate suddenly realized, having heard that the kingdom was indiscriminately hunting wizards, but the current situation clearly wasn’t like that.

"This king is truly insane and wicked... His acts of persecution must be punished!"

Wang Zhifan also showed some righteous indignation, only to continue saying:

"Everyone, the suffering you’ve endured is known by my Lord, and my Lord’s name was just revealed to you. You must not give up hope for survival and resistance because of the enemy’s strength. As long as you trust in my Lord’s guidance, the light will surely arrive! My Lord will certainly protect you!"

This conversation sounded very hollow and hypocritical, but if you add in the fact that Wang Zhifan had just used prayer to heal their severe injuries, it was completely different. These two had personally experienced that great power, so they immediately declared that they were followers of this great being and were willing to spend their lives following His path.

"Please rest assured, Messenger. We will pray to the Supreme One as per your instructions, and after receiving the Supreme One’s guidance, choose the time for revenge. We will never let ourselves fall into the hands of the kingdom again..."

Irina now harbored an indelible flame of vengeance in her heart. As a witch, she was by no means a fragile woman, but one capable of inflicting significant harm on her enemies.

"I’ve already lost everything; the Supreme One’s will is now my direction for living. I will lay low for now and prepare, ready to contribute when the Supreme One needs me..."

Bella seemed more prudent, planning not to seek revenge immediately but to gather strength and people before striking together. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

The witch hunter Gate, standing by, witnessed both women embracing the great Supreme One’s favor. Suddenly, he felt tempted, and he looked at Wang Zhifan, asking:

"Wang, can I also pray to the Supreme One? Although I haven’t felt His gaze upon me, I will earn His favor with sincerity! And from now on, I will help Irina fight against the kingdom’s lackeys. The Supreme One’s blessing is the most important safeguard..."

This guy, like the two ladies, understood that the Supreme One mentioned by Wang Zhifan could really help, so he was eager to hold onto this powerful support. This is human nature; who doesn’t want a mighty backing?

"Of course, you can, Gate. The Supreme One doesn’t care who the believers are. As long as you pray sincerely, perhaps someday you too can reach where I am and receive various generous blessings from the Supreme One."

Wang Zhifan went along with his thoughts explaining why his power was so strong, giving him motivation, as Gate was currently the person who had the most contact with him and knew how terrifying his foundation was, which naturally deepened the belief in his identity as a messenger.

But acting too much can be overdone sometimes, requiring some blanks to be left. Wang Zhifan felt the situation was almost ripe, so he was preparing to withdraw for a while. Or rather, he felt he’d stayed in this world long enough and was worried about delaying the dungeon run if he stayed longer.
