LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 102 An Su's Efficient Means
```
The Church fragments are already in possession of the Church, while the Esoteric fragments belong to the Esoteric Religion.
The Border fragments, on the other hand, are the ones that neither the Church nor the Esoteric Religion has managed to discover.
They are lost worlds shrouded in dust, one after another.
The coordinates of the Border fragments can also be found among the world fragments already obtained, which is one of the reasons why the Nether Bishop is sent to manage worlds.
Every unexplored world is of great value,
Precious and rare.
If An Su directly hands over the fragment coordinates, he can make quite an achievement.
It would be very helpful for his performance appraisal.
He might even get promoted to an 'acting deacon.'
The Church would naturally dispatch a professional Fourth Order squad to clear this Fourth Order world before the Cultists arrive.
The first-clear rewards for an uninhabited world are several times that of a normal instance.
Given that, normal people would know what to do.
The warm sunshine showered upon An Su's face, and he had already made up his mind--let's keep it for ourselves.
Why should he give away the instance he found first for others to conquer?
He was now a Third Order Magician on the verge of reaching the intermediate stage,
And the difficulty of increasing his Magic Power was higher than at the initial stage.
The exchange rate of faith points went from ten to one to twenty to one.
Of course, the Rank of Magic he could use was also higher.
Having rested for a month, it was time to tackle the next Nether World.
Merely tormenting saints and farming pain value was not enough.
The only problem was that the Rank of this Border world was Fourth Order.
The difficulty was several times that of Seden Town.
Lister and Arthur were still dallying around at near Third Order, unable to be of help for the moment.
An Su could now offer Miss Enya a recommendation to become an acting saint, which would qualify her to tackle Nether Worlds.
But they were still short one team member.
Where should he go to sweet-talk someone?
In the entire empire, An Su didn't know any other saints.
They had to be strong,
And not going to betray him.
Such a tool person...
Hmm.
----------
It snowed.
This was Farol's first snow of the year; the sunlight had not yet faded when the snow started to fall gently.
The snowflakes entangled with the light beams in a flurry.
Luojia leaned against the window, her snow-like pupils quietly fixated as she listlessly counted the branches of snowflakes condensed on the windowpane.
She yawned lightly and exhaled a thin mist.
The Farol trip seemed somewhat different from what she had imagined.
Waking up at four o'clock every morning, following the Church's schedule, starting with morning prayers, then attending ceremonies, visiting the common folk at noon, doing homework in the afternoon, and in the evening, spreading the sacred light of the Radiant in the countryside.
Repeat for thirty days, and that would be a month gone by.
Many eyes watched her,
Any little movement that lost the poise of a Holy Maiden would disgrace the Radiant Holy See.
This was the case for any Holy Maiden, and all the more so for a Holy Maiden from the Border.
It was as if 'Border person' was a label attached to her.
Seemingly, being a pretty decorative vase was all a Holy Maiden could do.
Whispers of this sort were faintly circulating outside.
In these placid, monotonous days, the only thing that might be considered a ripple was that guy's arrival.
Luojia was quite surprised.
She had not expected An Su to actually pass the exam to the capital and even become a Nether Bishop.
A Child of the Curse had become a saint.
Compared to the labels on herself, the prejudice of being a 'Child of the Curse' was much heavier.
But An Su seemed to have never cared about others' opinions.
In some ways, Luojia was quite envious of An Su.
Right now, the sunset was gradually declining; with the rose-colored twilight spilling over mountains, ethereal bell sounds echoed in the heart of the monastery.
```
According to the schedule, the Mother Superior from the monastery will soon notify her to attend the dinner tonight.
The Mother Superior was not particularly kind to Luojia, and her background was only one reason for that,
Another reason was that the Radiant Holy See had several aspiring Holy Maidens—these young ladies were all of noble birth, mostly from church families, and some of them even had Cardinals in their families, holding considerable prestige.
Luojia was also nothing more than an aspiring Holy Maiden, the aspiring Holy Maiden from a frontier church.
She didn't have a noble family background either, just an orphan picked up by the church.
Perhaps having received some hints, the nuns' attitude towards Luojia became unpleasant.
The guards spoke of defending the Holy Maiden, protecting her from the harm of sinister people,
but in reality, it was house arrest.
They wouldn't let her out, nor would they allow her to enter the Nether World, and the aspiring Holy Maidens wanted to use this to diminish her reputation.
How could there be so many sinister people in this world?
As for these criticisms, Luojia didn't care much, finding it only boring and tedious. She propped her cheek with her hand and listlessly watched the guards patrolling outside the villa, and then...
Luojia saw the sinister person.
An Su was sneaking around the edge of the bushes, first handing a thick bag of coins to a guard on the left,
Luojia clearly saw the latter's eyes light up,
but the leading saint still shook his head, wrestling with the decision for a long time before eventually indicating that he couldn't let An Su in.
"We don't accept bribes,"
there were orders from above, not even for the Holy Maiden's friend.
After all, they had taken money from the other side as well.
They needed to maintain professional integrity.
Seeing his offer rejected, An Su didn't get angry, he still wore a faint smile on his face,
[Decree]
[The Radiance of Order]
[Bribery is prohibited here].
The guards returned the money while looking befuddled and out of control.
We said we're giving it back to you, what are you doing...
By this point, things should have come to an end, merely a farce.
But unexpectedly, An Su chose not to take it back.
Even more, when faced with the extended bag of coins, he turned and ran.
Under the influence of the decree, the guards had to return the money to An Su, chasing him uncontrollably to stuff the money bag into his arms; they couldn't accept any bribes.
The Teenage Protection Law is the most powerful magic.
An Su still refused to take it, he even ran faster, reaching the streets and shouting as he ran,
"Someone help! Someone's trying to bribe me! They're violating a minor!"
What a reversal of virtue and vice!
That's clearly your money!
The guards said they certainly didn't have it, crying out their innocence, but their bodies were out of control,
creating a strange scene.
"This is your money!" a guard roared.
"This isn't my money..." An Su's shoulders trembled slightly.
"It is your money, you better take it!"
"I don't want to do that kind of thing!"
What the hell.
In full view of the public, a group of burly men forcibly stuffed a thick stack of gold coins into the arms of a teenager, the powerless minority struggling with tears gathering in his eyes.
So the guards were detained by the patrolling Order Knights.
If there's anything to say, say it back at the Order Church
The verdict of the Scales of Order would be that the guards are definitely going to be okay in this incident—they didn't take An Su's money, nor were they planning to give him any.
But as to whether they were guilty of bribery, that's hard to say.
With no guards left at the monastery for the moment, An Su easily entered.
Luojia, who witnessed the entire scene, first stared dumbfounded for a second or two, cocked her head, then couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Ha.
What an idiot... What was he thinking?
She almost laughed to tears.
Since there were nuns inside the monastery, An Su climbed directly onto the outer wall, the stealth skills he learned from the Painful Esoteric Sect now coming into play; he covertly arrived at the window and tapped on Luojia's window.
"Do you want to sneak out for a bit of fun?"
