Chapter 1022: Chapter 367: He looks ordinary, nothing special.
Austria.
Five hundred meters outside Wynne Airport, in a library, Wayne was flipping through a book titled "My Struggle" in a Prussian dialect that Frankish people could understand, quickly blending in with the surroundings.
Austria had since become part of Prussian territory, with black flags everywhere on the streets, and zealots of rabble-rousing speakers scattered all around.
What, not zealous?
You’re not loyal!
Wayne had only brought two Resentful Spirits this time, Odilia and Regina, who had represented the Prussian sector in the Holy Maiden selection of the Naturalism Church, which might prove somewhat useful.
The artistic Odilia was reading with Wayne while Regina occasionally glanced toward the library’s staircase, her eyes filled with anticipation.
Before departing, Wayne had informed Regina in advance, who had requested to meet her sister immediately upon touchdown to quell their longing.
Having experienced the Inverted World, Wayne readily agreed.
Regina had set the meeting place in the library, waiting for her twin sister, while Wayne mentally contacted Saina, waiting for her arrival.
Clatter, clatter, clatter!
The urgent sound of footsteps arose, and Regina’s face lit up as a fragrant breeze passed by, and two figures embraced each other.
"Nelson!"
Regina, holding her sister, jumped and frolicked, the latter also displaying a face full of joy, their almost identical faces pressed together, indistinguishable as to who was the elder and who was the younger.
Wayne was originally unable to tell them apart and, in his own words, was face-blind, unable to differentiate who was pretty and who was not; he cared about the soul.
Since Regina was a Resentful Spirit, her soul differed from Nelson’s, thus allowing him to immediately tell them apart.
"Regina, how have you been doing in Lundan?" Nelson was very concerned about her sister’s situation and pulled her aside to ask many questions.
Not fake, real sisters.
Nelson originally represented the Prussian sector, along with her sister Regina, in the Holy Maiden selection of the Naturalism Church, but Wayne and Veronica took the spots reserved for Lundan, causing the former Holy Maiden Flora to reluctantly return under Pope Ludwig’s command. Ludwig used his own methods to replace Nelson with Odilia.
Afterwards, Ludwig hinted Flora to cover tracks by silencing both Odilia and Regina, only for Wayne to pass by and turn them into his own Resentful Spirits.
Nelson was unaware that her sister had risen from the dead, warm and still with a heartbeat, certainly not deceased.
She only knew Regina had been embroiled in the high-level strife of The Church during her selection, first with a bounty issued on her by The Church and then, after the bounty was rescinded, she was expelled and no longer a member of the Naturalism Church.
Regina went as far as Lundan, working in a library, no longer identifying herself as a Mage.
Since the Holy Maiden selection, the sisters had only seen each other twice; Nelson, worried her sister was suffering alone abroad, inquired briefly, then advised her to return to Prussia for a job.
"With international situations unstable, only our Prussia is safe; everywhere else is getting pounded. Trust me, don’t go back to Lundan, what if war breaks out there?"
"If war breaks out, I’d be in Prussia again."
"..."
That makes sense!
Nelson, internally distressed and unsure how to persuade her sister, noticed Wayne and Odilia, who were reading, her light purple eyes flashing with a trace of brilliance.
Nelson was very dissatisfied with Odilia, the bespectacled one who had taken her spot in the Holy Maiden selection, causing her years of hard cultivation to go in vain.
That not being enough.
Odilia and Regina were both wanted, both expelled from The Church, both went to Lundan, and both worked in the same library.
Ridiculous, hogging her sister without letting go!
Nelson glared at the artistic girl, and seeing no response, hmphed twice in triumph, and then said, "Who’s that guy, Odilia’s boyfriend? They look well-matched."
Odilia looked up, catching the key words and flooded Nelson with praise, showing a gentle smile.
Like to hear it, say more.
"Yeah, the boss is her boyfriend."
Regina nodded along. She was very clear on Odilia’s situation; she could have been with Wayne, becoming one of many wings, but due to changing to a Resentful Spirit, with clear hierarchical distinctions, it was no longer possible to become equals as lovers.
A definite tragedy!
Although Wayne had always taken great care of Odilia, sharing anything fun or tasty with her first, typically accompanying her on dates to see movies, and stroll through libraries, this care was that of a Superior showing pity to an inferior, never able to return to what used to be, having long since lost its original flavor.
Regina knew Odilia’s dilemmas and usually spoke up for her, today being no exception.
"Your boss?"
"Yes, the library is his, and I work for him."
Regina nodded, seeing her sister’s dubious expression and quickly explained, "The boss is really nice, takes great care of me, not only promoted me to secretary and doubled my salary but also frequently gives me pocket money, accompanies me shopping for clothes, jewelry, and bags; this outfit I’m wearing was gifted by him."
Nelson: (는_는)
Sister, are you listening to yourself?
"Regina, our family is wealthy, you don’t need to work for anyone to live well," Nelson emphasized.
She finally saw that it wasn’t Odilia who turned her sister away, it was Odilia’s boyfriend, Wayne.
Worse still, even worse than Odilia!
