"...."
Alia, who was grabbing Luo Wei's clothes, suddenly couldn't hold on anymore for some reason.
She just grabbed on, without any further action, but her lowered head seemed a bit off.
"Alia?"
Luo Wei also stopped joking around, realizing that Alia's appearance was indeed a bit strange no matter how he looked at it.
"Darling, I... I'm sorry, I don't know why... Please, you take over, I won't resist."
Perhaps Alia didn't understand how much power this sentence had over a man, but it was the same for Luo Wei. He almost took immediate action, but after some thought, it seemed a bit too beastly.
"Alia, that's enough."
Luo Wei said.
"Don't continue like this. Actually, I'm not someone who likes being passive. If necessary, I can also be proactive, but I won't be particularly happy with that approach."
Luo Wei didn't pull Alia down from him, just stared at her and spoke.
Alia's strangeness, upon careful thought, probably started from that moment, so it could be inferred what exactly had happened.
"Alia, is it because of the church?"
Hearing Luo Wei's words, Alia also lifted her head to look at Luo Wei. Luo Wei also finally noticed at this moment that her eyes were already red. She was afraid he would see her tears when she lowered her head earlier.
"This morning, you went to the church, right?"
Luo Wei continued speaking, his voice was very low, giving a feeling of stability.
Alia was already on the verge of collapse. After being addressed by Luo Wei in this manner, her emotions quickly burst out like a breached river, and there was no way to stop it.
"What exactly happened?"
Luo Wei asked.
"....."
Alia remained silent, and she suddenly buried her head in Luo Wei's chest, trembling lightly as if sobbing.
Even the revered saint had a vulnerable side. Now, Alia's most vulnerable side had been fully revealed to Luo Wei.
Luo Wei also reached out and patted Alia's head.
He knew that Alia needed some calmness now. She needed to calm her emotions. Luo Wei didn't disturb her and let her calm down like this for a while.
"Well, I went to the Second Cathedral and met the Archbishop."
Finally, Alia nodded and responded.
"So, what happened there? Why did you turn out like this?"
"Darling... I'm sorry..."
"Don't apologize anymore. There's nothing you need to apologize for."
Luo Wei sighed. Although he didn't know the exact reason why Alia became like this, in any case, it couldn't be anything good.
"In fact, I am very likely... going to die soon..."
Alia finally said this word by word and even Luo Wei was completely stunned by her words.
"Alia, what did you just say..."
"The last time, our hunting squad encountered a very tough opponent in the Eastern Great Forest, a Holy Rank Demon Dragon."
"Yeah."
Luo Wei softly responded. He knew a bit about the Thunder Dragon's matter because he was actually present.
"In that battle, my magic circuit was destroyed by a huge electric current, causing irreparable damage."
"What!?"
For a mage, the consequence of their magic circuit being destroyed is equivalent to taking a slow-acting poison.
"It's just a temporary decrease in strength, right?"
"The decrease in strength is part of it, but if this continues, my magic power will keep depleting, and soon I will die due to magic exhaustion..."As Alia spoke, her sobbing and trembling slowly subsided, and Luo Wei understood the whole situation.
"What about the cure?"
"Only the Holy Water from the Church."
"Then just go and ask the Church for it, aren't you the saint?"
Luo Wei instinctively said, but soon he realized the problem.
"The Church won't give it???"
"Um... Holy Water is also extremely rare for the Church. They have used up almost every drop by now, and with the strength of my magic circuit, I estimate it would use up all the remaining Holy Water in the Second Cathedral."
Alia seemed to have calmed down completely, and now she could calmly explain the whole situation to Luo Wei.
But that didn't mean she had fully recovered.
Just because of this reason, the Church would let Alia, the saint who had fought for the Church for many years, live or die on her own?
What a joke!
Even if Alia was the saint, she was not a god who could save all living beings. She was just an ordinary person. If she died, she would really die.
Even as the saint, as a human being, Alia was afraid of death too!
"So, you want to offer your body to me in your final moments?"
Luo Wei looked helplessly at Alia, who nodded in response.
"My dear, it was you who saved me before, so in the end, I thought, I wanted to offer everything to you."
"Are you an idiot?"
Luo Wei flicked Alia's forehead with his hand.
The Church...
Let's just wait and see.
