After Maxing Out All Job Classes - Chapter 26

Chapter 26 A Nun Is Coming

The mayor and the rich men were instantly embarrassed. They thought to themselves, ‘I can’t believe Father doesn’t even know Baron Palses.’

After several seconds, the mayor said, “Actually, we don’t know him well. We’ve only heard of him. He’s a member of the White Lion Knights, who are famous in the western frontier. He’s very trusted by the commander, Grand Duke Yingshi. He came to Westwind this time because of you.”

“Me?” Robb said. “I don’t even know him. Why would he come for me?”

The mayor said, “It’s… it’s just that a few days ago, didn’t you protect the three skeletons in the cemetery from the necromancers and expose a shocking conspiracy? You wanted us to write and ask the lord to deal with it, so the merchant sent the letter into the hands of the Grand Duke. The Grand Duke took it very seriously and sent his right-hand man, Baron Palses, to deal with it.”

‘So that’s what happened!’

Robb had been playing with the little maid for the past few days and installing tap water. He had already forgotten about the necromancer from last time. After all, he had long been tired of such a sudden world mission that popped out of nowhere and did not take it to heart at all. How could he keep thinking about it? He did not expect that his casual bluff at that time had already aroused the concern of a paladin and he had actually sent someone to cause trouble.

So annoying!

Robb’s mouth twisted. “No, no, why should I greet him? Why doesn’t he come to greet

me?”

For a moment, the mayor was speechless. He thought, ‘The priest of the Light Church is indeed a big shot. He doesn’t even care about the Baron.’

However, the rich people were thinking: Father was usually very amiable to us, but he looked impatient with the last baron. It seemed that he was the kind of person who only cared about ordinary people but did not like to befriend the rich and powerful. Suddenly, they felt a sense of closeness to the Father.

The mayor quickly said, “Maiden, forget about Baron Palses. It’s fine if you don’t want to welcome him, but there’s a nun from the Light Church traveling with Baron Palses. Well… it’s better if you go welcome her.”

“Eh? There’s a nun?” Robb perked up instantly. “Why didn’t you say there was a nun? Cough! I’ve always cared for my parishioners. As a fellow devotee of the God of Light, of course I have to greet her. Cough, cough! There’s no one in this godforsaken town who can discuss doctrine with me. My mind has long since become a withered desert and I urgently need to enlighten myself with my parishioners. Cough, cough, cough! Enough nonsense, my children. Lead the way.”

The mayor and the rich men were speechless.

Robb turned to Lillian. “Clean the house. Don’t let the parishioners see our church in shambles.”

‘Yes, Master!’ Lilian hurried off to fetch a broom.

Robb put on a fresh priest’s robe that Lillian had only sewn for him. It fit him perfectly. He smoothed his golden hair and examined his face in the bronze mirror. There was no dirt on his face. Good. He was handsome beyond belief. Now he could go and see the Sister.

Of course, I’m really just going to take a look. I definitely don’t have any inappropriate thoughts (serious face).

Of course, the nun who had to pray here was really a young lady. If it was an old nun, then… ahem… he hoped it wouldn’t come to that.

Robb prayed earnestly to the heavens. “God of Light, I’ll have to ask you for help this time. I hope your nuns are all great beauties. Please don’t let it be that kind of old hag. Seeing that I’ve gathered quite a few believers for you, these little requests can’t be too hard for you now?”

They followed the mayor and his party to the eastern entrance of the town. There was an avenue of loess that led southeast to the important town of the west, the Road of Light, and then to the Holy Capital. This was the only route that merchants and armies could take. It served as a bridge between the towns of the western frontier and the capital.

The company had been waiting at the town gate for less than ten minutes when dust kicked up on the road and a unit appeared in the distance. Robb had expected to see a cavalry unit. After all, he had just heard that it was called the Order of the White Lion or something. Instead, he saw an infantry unit.

Moreover, this troop was completely different from the knights in heavy armor that they had imagined. They were basically swordsmen and archers in light armor. There were not many of them in total, only about a hundred.

There were, however, two horses at the front. One was a white horse, and on it was a tall, mighty knight in heavy armor. He looked very impressive.

The other was a red horse, a little shorter, and on its back was a nun. He couldn’t see her face from a distance, but he could see that she was dressed in a blue nun’s habit with white trimmings that set off her graceful figure. He could tell from her figure that she was a young girl.

“Well, it wasn’t a wasted trip!” Robb was amused. “The God of Light didn’t screw me over this time, hehe.”

The mayor turned to him. “Father, what did you say? The voice was too soft to hear.”

Robb spread his hands. “I’m blessing them. It must have been hard going all this way. May the God of Light bless them.”

It didn’t take long for the army to finally reach the front of the town. The rider flipped off his horse. He was wearing heavy armor, but he looked beautiful as he fell. You could tell he was a fierce man with a bow and horse.

This man seemed to be Baron Palses, one of the fierce generals of the Knights of the White Lion. Robb glanced at him. Unfortunately, the real world was different from the game. It was impossible to tell at a glance what other people’s professions were. Dressed like him, he could be a warrior, a holy knight, or even a clergy, because Western priests might also wear heavy armor and carry weapons into battle to cut people down. He might even be fighting the enemy until he was about to die before he suddenly remembered that he was a Clergy and threw a holy item or something. (Friends who had seen the WOW cutscenes should understand.)

Of course, Robb’s attention was not on the man. He glanced at him only briefly before turning his attention to the nun.

The nun also dismounted. Her blue nun’s dress swished through the air in a beautiful arc. It was very nice. Robb realized that the nun was also very agile. She did not look like a choir girl who only knew how to chant. When she landed and steadied herself, he could see her face clearly. She was a young woman of about twenty years old. Her features were well-defined and deep, but her expression was ice-cold. She had an authentic cold look. She had blond hair like Robb’s, but her hair was almost completely covered by her hood. Only a little blond fringe could be seen.

The baron and the nun approached Robb and the others. The mayor and the wealthy men immediately bowed. “Welcome, Baron Palses.” They seemed to want to greet the nun as well, but they could not bring themselves to do so. “Welcome, Sister,” they said awkwardly.

Palses replied with an offhand “Yes,” which dealt with the mayor and the rich. He strode over to Robb. “Are you Mr. Robert? I am Baron Palses of the Order of the White Lion. It is an honor to meet you.”
