After Maxing Out All Job Classes - Chapter 30

Chapter 30 Forgive Me For Daring To Ask

As she watched the master and servant fooling around, El’s anger at Robb’s rejection dissipated. She was filled with doubt. What was so different about this master and servant? The maid was a country girl. It was understandable that she would laugh and make a fuss with her master when she didn’t know the rules, but how could the master let her do as she pleased? Was there such a priest in the Holy Church? None of the priests I had seen before were like this.

After Lillian had been ruthlessly “punished”, she had gone to the town center to buy bedding and daily necessities. Peace had returned to the small church.

El wasn’t familiar with Robb yet. She couldn’t find anything to say, and she didn’t want to be idle. She saw the messy pile of footprints that the men had left on the ground at the entrance to the courtyard, and she fetched a broom and swept the floor noisily.

The beautiful nun swept the floor. The picture was beautiful. The key was her industrious attitude, which Robb admired very much.

After her sweeping, she wanted to clean the tables in the church. She went into the house and found a bucket. She wrapped a rope around it and was about to throw it into the well when Robb suddenly called out, “Wait, El. Here, you don’t have to tire yourself by pulling water up from the well”

“Huh?” El turned and looked at him curiously. “So, how do you fetch water?”

“Look at the side of the field. There’s an iron pipe hanging down there. See it? From the cistern beside it.”

“I did!”

“Good. Now walk over there and pick up that tap. Yes, that thing. It spins gently. It doesn’t take a lot of strength…”

El did as she was told. Water rushed out of the tap, startling her. “What is this? Magic?”

Robb pointed to the tall cistern in the courtyard. “This is called running water,” he said with a smile. “It’s not magic at all. Simply put, you take the water stored high up and use it at the low end.”

El looked up at the cistern and then at the pipe. She seemed to understand something. She put the bucket under the tap and watched the water slowly fill it. Then she gently turned the tap and the water stopped. When she turned it again, the water came again. When she turned it back on, the water stopped again.

After playing with it three or four times, her cold expression could not help but melt a little. She actually smiled for a moment, but unfortunately, she immediately put it away. “It’s so convenient to use water like this! No wonder you shower every day. If I had such convenience, I would shower every day too.”

“There’s also a tap in the kitchen and the toilet,” Robb said seriously. “You must wash your hands after you poop. I know you wipe your butts with your hands.”

El said nothing

There was no reasoning with this deranged priest. El almost went crazy. She pulled a face and said, “Father, don’t you have any manners? Can you even bring up the word… fart… butt to discuss with a nun?”

“I call this practical.”

“There are things you can say and things you can’t!”

“It’s not a matter of whether you can or can’t talk about it. It’s a matter of having to talk about it. Sanitary habits, I’ve sworn to defend to death. There’s no room for tact, or you’ll all die of strange illnesses sooner or later.”

“Hmph!” El went quiet, not bothering with Robb.

Robb spread his hands and slumped back in the stone chair, continuing to be lazy.

A long time later, Lillian returned with some daily necessities, but when she was about to go and help El make the bed, El stopped her. The hardworking nun had decided to make her own bed without the help of a servant, and Robb discovered one good thing about her in this small gesture. The girl did not like to enslave others, but rather did everything herself.

From this detail, it could be seen that she was not a girl from a rich family. It was said that the nuns in the convent were girls from rich families. Girls from poor families could only be servants when they entered the convent. So how did this El become a nun? It was quite intriguing

That evening’s dinner was once again Lillian’s steak. There had been a lot of repetition of the dishes recently, and this was the part of the world Robb was most unhappy with. Westwinds was so small that it was almost impossible to buy any decent ingredients there. All he could do was toss and turn the steak, lamb chops, pork chops, and chicken chops. He was already going crazy eating them.

But El was enjoying the food. For poor nuns, steak was a very rare luxury.

She had bathed by then and was dressed in a clean nun’s habit, enjoying the pleasant mountain breeze. As she ate her steak in comfort, she glanced around the small church and saw the nun’s habit she had changed out of hanging from a rope, blowing in the wind. It was a beautiful sight.

Although her face was still cold, she was thinking: Why does it feel more comfortable to live here than in the Chapel of the Holy Light? This relaxing feeling… Ah… Put that thought away. I almost committed the sin of laziness, one of the Seven Deadly Sins.

The thought made her tilt her head and look oddly at Robb.

Robb shrugged. “Why are you looking at me like that? Have I got any mushroom sauce on

my face?”

El said, “I don’t think I’ve been watching you study the Light Scripture?”

Robb wanted to say, “What’s the point of studying that stupid scripture?” but he also knew that if he said it, he would be punished on the spot with Divine Retribution and a Psychic Shockblast. The little nun would slap him in the face with all the offensive magic she knew in an instant. Although his magic resistance was high, and he would only take zero damage, he would have to start playing Tower Defense next.

The Knights would come to clean up the mess. After they were blown up by him, the Holy Church would ask the Kingdom of Gran for permission to send troops. Therefore, Grand Duke Yingshi would send troops from the Path of Light and lead the White Lion Knights to attack him. He would blow them up. Then, the Royal Knights would come and blow them up. Then, the Kingdom of Gran might join forces with the Kingdom of Noma in the north. Of course, he would also blow them up!

On the other hand, the rabbit-men of the Great Tang of the East watched the show with their hands in the air. Their three lips would smile widely. They might even write a few sarcastic letters of credence. “We are deeply sorry for the internal strife in your country!”

The Tower Defense would go on forever.

He had no choice but to throw up his hands. “I’ve read the Light Scripture ten times since I got up this morning. I think I’ve listened fully to the teachings of God today. You saw me lying on the stone chair without moving, but in fact, I was secretly practicing holy magic. On the surface, I seemed to be slacking off, but in reality, I was practicing holy magic diligently, over and over. Ah, my body was filled with the power of the Holy Light. It was about to overflow…”

There was finally an expression on El’s cold face. It was a skeptical expression. Who the hell would believe that you were cultivating holy magic? You were clearly slacking off just now. Slacking off is one of the Seven Sins, and it almost led me astray. Of course, the Seven Sins were not unforgivable. As long as they were corrected quickly, they were still good parishioners. She would not go so far as to draw a line between her and Robb just because she was lazy, but she had to remind him. “Forgive me for asking, but how far along have you cultivated your holy magic?”
