Chapter 727: Chapter 727: The Girl in the Mountain Stream

After stuffing the God’s Gift Box into a backpack he had made, he carried it down from the Ruined Tower to the city below. The bustling Cassandra Auction House, located in the city center, remained lively even in late autumn. At the top floor of the auction house, Shard met Granny Cassandra and Sister Delphine.

Sister Delphine was also there to witness the ritual; aside from the trio, due to Granny Cassandra’s teacher not wanting many people to know the details of the ritual, only Granny Cassandra’s young apprentice would accompany them up the mountain.

The apprentice, Miss Rita Swift, was a young girl who looked about the same age as Angelina, slight of build, with wavy, flaxen hair.

She responded to Shard’s greeting in a restrained manner but did not question the existence of a man like Shard. It was likely that Granny Cassandra had already mentioned it to the young apprentice.

Before departing, Granny Cassandra did express curiosity about the box Shard was carrying, to which Shard vaguely explained:

“This is a box used to seal the Evil Beast.”

“I thought it was that Angel-Level Relic ‘Golden Holy Wardrobe’; I remember that relic was clearly in the Papacy of the Church of Creation.”

The Old Witch was in a good mood today and even made a joke.

The ritual on Monday was a long-planned event, so no additional preparations were needed, and they could head up the mountain. Miss Aphrola was not present, and Granny Cassandra did not wish for anyone from the Witch Council to see the ritual. Even Miss Helen Black, who was supposed to participate in the ritual, was not around; when Shard asked about her whereabouts, the Old Witch chuckled that she had already gone up the mountain.

The carriage ready at the front door of the Cassandra Auction House was just right for four people.

However, no sooner had the carriage started than Sister Delphine claimed she had forgotten an important item at the auction house and asked to be let off, saying she would make her way to the mountaintop ceremony venue later.

“Would someone like Sister Delphine forget to take something?”
