Asimiro pulled Xiao Chen and Xiao Chen followed him out of the conference room. He took Xiao Chen to the third floor, where the Saint rested. Two guards tried to stop them. But Asimiro said, "I have a confidential matter to report to the Saint. Get out of the way!"
The two executors stood guard and retreated silently under the gaze of the sage.
Asimiro said to Xiao Chen: "Every sage has the qualification to report secrets to the Saint Lady alone, but how to talk to her after entering is your business. It's not that I don't want to help you, but the Saint Lady doesn't have a very good impression of us. I'm afraid I can't help you much by your side, and it will only have a counterproductive effect."
The two came to a terrace on the third floor. Xiao Chen saw the saint leaning over the railing, looking out at something. There were only two maids standing behind her.
Asimiro pushed open the door and walked straight onto the terrace. The saint and her two maids were startled by the sound of the door.
Xiao Chen saw that the saint's eyes were red, probably because she had just cried, but she did not hide anything. She faced the two and asked, "Asimiro, why did you catch up with me? Didn't I say I needed to rest?"
"Lady Saint, I have a very important secret to report. Please ask the maids to leave." Asimiro said, looking up at Xiao Chen.
The saint's eyes fell on Xiao Chen. She found that this man had a very special appearance, with black hair and black eyes, which was very rare. He also gave her a different feeling, and she always felt that he had something to say to her.
She waved the maid away, suppressed her anger and asked, "What's going on?"
Asimiro pointed at Xiao Chen and said, "This is His Excellency Xiao Chen. He is from the Eastern Continent and is the leader of a powerful country. He is also a saint with the same strength as the Holy Judge. He has some important topics he wants to discuss with you."
"Eastern Continent?" The Saint Girl couldn't help but step back a little. In her education, Eastern Continent was not a good place. But she seemed to have thought of something, and soon straightened up and said, "Then let's listen to what he has to say."
Asimiro nodded to Xiao Chen, then stepped out and stood guard at the door of the terrace, not letting anyone else in.
Xiao Chen saw the girl in front of him, staring at him with wide eyes like a kitten, her expression revealing worry, doubt, curiosity, and some expectation
"My name is Xiao Chen, Your Excellency the Saint. I came here for two purposes. The first is to find the Source Tower that has been missing from the Western Continent for a long time. The second is to tell you that the God of Nature is about to awaken. This god has ill intentions towards human civilization. The Western Continent should unite with the Eastern Continent to fight against him."
"What is the Tower of Origin?" asked the saint.
"That's a magic tower, but on your continent it is more likely to look like a black crystal." Xiao Chen said.
"What is the God of Nature?"
Xiao Chen briefly talked about the God of Nature and the Temple of Nature, and also introduced the history of the War of the Ancient Gods and the War of the Seven Towers. The Saint did not make a sound while he was talking. When he finished, she sighed and said, "What you said sounds very important, but I am just a little girl who has not awakened. What can you expect me to do? Just now, you saw that one of my playmates was killed by them mercilessly, and I had no way to do anything.
I think you shouldn't come to me, but go to the old men downstairs."
"But after you awaken, you will be the one holding the highest power on this continent, right?"
"Then you can ask me again only when the time comes." The saint replied. Her voice was loud enough that even Asimiro at the door could hear it.
Xiao Chen didn't expect the other party to refuse so straightforwardly. He was thinking about how to convince her to agree to cooperate first.
The Saint suddenly came over and asked softly, "Can you prevent others from hearing us talking?"
"Of course. But Asimiro is the only one here. He actually knows all this, and I have nothing to hide from him." Xiao Chen naturally lowered his voice as well.
The saint stretched out her hands and grabbed one of his arms and said, "There are more than one pair of ears here. There are people who can hear us talking without you noticing. There are some things I want to tell you only to you. You are someone from outside, and I can also feel that you have no ill will towards me. This opportunity is not easy for me, please."
Without seeing Xiao Chen make any movement, the saint felt a soft wave sweeping across her body. She looked around but saw nothing.
Xiao Chen said: "Now, no one else can hear us, you can try to call Mr. Asimiro."
The saint rolled her eyes, glanced at Asimiro who was standing with his back to her, and called out twice, "Asimiro, Asimiro!"
Her voice became louder, but there was no movement from the other party.
“Old Asimiro!” she yelled, then she chuckled. “He looks so stupid now.”
Xiao Chen touched his nose and said, "Your Excellency the Saint, I have blocked out the surrounding sounds. You can say whatever you want to say."
"I don't want to awaken at all." Xiao Chen was surprised by the saint's first words.
"I have started to have nightmares now. They say that they are not nightmares, but memories of the past. But to me they are nightmares. There is always a voice saying, who am I, what should I do, and what I have done in history. But that is not me. I am just a little girl who likes to play with my friends and live a simple life. I never wanted to be a saint, but everyone forced me to become one. I can clearly feel that once I truly awaken, many things that belong to me will disappear. It can even be said that most of me will no longer exist. I will become the noble, wise saint who can guide people forward as people say.
But that's not me, that's not me. I don't know what the saints in every previous life thought, whether they were really willing to sacrifice themselves, but I don't want to. Really, really don't want to!"
Xiao Chen said: "Then why are you telling me this? I am just an outsider to your Western Continental Republic."
"It is because you are an outsider that I can tell you. Don't you want the Tower of Origin? I heard your description and know what it is. I can give it to you, but there is one condition: take me away from here!"
