The Omniscient Chapter 71
Going after the omniscient bishop
Hearing Mo Wen’s stern words, Aestrid deliberately pouted and pretended to be wronged. “Just the two of us is enough! We don’t need her!”
Mo Wen remained firm in his refusal.
“Your Highness, there’s no need for this. Bringing Emilia along is purely for official business. Do you really think I’m interested in her body? Your Highness, you should trust me!”
“Hmm…”
Aestrid hesitated slightly.
Mo Wen did have a point.
This made her seem somewhat unreasonable.
Yet Aestrid still felt reluctant.
That Emilia and her Mo Wen might develop something.
Her gaze swept over Mo Wen’s lips, and Aestrid’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.
An absurd thought flashed through her mind.
Could this… be related to Emilia?
The next second, she forcefully dismissed the thought.
That was impossible! What connection could that bitch Emilia possibly have with Mo Wen?
Mo Wen would never be interested in her!
Seeing Aestrid still hesitating, Mo Wen said softly, “Don’t worry, Your Highness. If you don’t trust me, you can just keep an eye on me, alright?”
“Hmm… It’s not that I don’t trust you. I just dislike Emilia.”
After some hesitation, not wanting Mo Wen to think she was being unreasonable, Aestrid finally relented. “Fine, let’s bring her along. I’m not some unreasonable woman!”
Though she agreed to bring Emilia along.
Aestrid had already made up her mind—inside the Door of Time, she wouldn’t give Emilia any chance to get close to her Mo Wen!
She wouldn’t allow that bitch even the slightest opportunity!
As for Mo Wen making the first move?
Hmph! Her Mo Wen would never be interested in that woman!
Mo Wen patted her head. “Yes, I know. Your Highness is the best.”
“You’d better remember that!”
Aestrid happily accepted his head-patting.
Then, as if remembering something, she asked, “By the way, when are we going to the Door of Time?”
Mo Wen thought for a moment. “The day after tomorrow.”
The reason for delaying until the afternoon was to let his skill cooldowns reset.
Time inside the Door of Time was chaotic. Mo Wen could only control the flow rate between inside and outside, ensuring that only an hour would pass in the outside world when they exited.
But he couldn’t stabilize the time flow inside the Door of Time.
Because of this, time inside remained erratic—skills might refresh immediately after use, or they might take decades.
Thus, Mo Wen had to ensure all his skills were off cooldown before entering.
“Alright, the day after tomorrow it is!”
Aestrid didn’t ask why he needed so much time.
Whatever Mo Wen did, he must have his reasons!
“Oh, Your Highness, we should also inform Linsaya and Emilia about going to the Door of Time.”
Mo Wen added.
Aestrid didn’t object—there was no reason to. “Fine, I’ll contact them later using the jade communication disk.”
“Your Highness, I don’t think you have Emilia’s jade communication disk, do you?”
“Probably not, but I can have someone relay the message.”
Mo Wen said righteously, “Your Highness, Emilia isn’t like Linsaya. She’s not familiar with us and hasn’t been to the Door of Fate before. She doesn’t understand things like the Door of Time. I think it’s necessary to go explain it to her in person!”
“Oh?”
Aestrid looked up, narrowing her eyes at him. “Is that really all you’re going to do?”
“Of course!”
“Then I’m coming with you!”
“No problem!”
“…”
Seeing Mo Wen agree so readily, Aestrid felt relieved.
If he was letting her come along, how could anything happen between them?
She must have been overthinking things. She shouldn’t have doubted Mo Wen like that!
As if Mo Wen would ever be interested in that bitch Emilia!
Aestrid began reflecting on herself.
Of course, reflection aside—if he tried to go without her, that would be a different story.
Aestrid nuzzled against Mo Wen. “When are we going to notify Emilia?”
“Tomorrow.”
Mo Wen thought for a moment. “I have some things to take care of tomorrow. After that, we can go see Emilia.”
Aestrid frowned. “What things?”
“Have you forgotten, Your Highness? I need to kill the Omniscient Bishop in Ain City. Before killing the god, this was my original goal!”
Mo Wen explained.
He truly meant it.
After all, completing the [Enemy of Omniscience] achievement would give excellent rewards.
Plus, there were two Large Experience Books.
To advance to the sixth tier, he needed twenty Large Experience Books—four more than when advancing to the fifth tier, meaning two more achievements.
Completing this achievement would leave him only fourteen Large Experience Books short—seven more achievements.
He wasn’t sure if the Omniscient Bishop would be there, but it was worth checking.
What if he was? If so, it would be a highly rewarding achievement!
Aestrid’s frown eased slightly. After some hesitation, she asked, “Shall I come with you?”
Mo Wen understood—she must be feeling insecure.
He nodded. “Of course! Last time, I just wanted you to rest more, and there was also a vague premonition that made me go alone. But now, I’d love to have you with me!”
Aestrid immediately brightened up, nodding emphatically.
“Good!”
She realized she had been overly suspicious.
Mo Wen had always treated her well!
Despite his strength, he willingly remained her subordinate, saved her life, and even helped her become empress.
Aestrid’s gaze at Mo Wen grew tender again.
With a sudden pounce, she decided to repay Mo Wen.
Naturally, Mo Wen didn’t resist.
…………
The next day.
Mo Wen and Aestrid boarded a carriage headed for the large teleportation formation.
After waking up, cleaning up, and freshening up, they set off for Ain City.
Mo Wen didn’t want to waste time—the sooner this was dealt with, the better.
As the carriage traveled, snippets of conversation from passersby reached their ears.
“Have you heard? Big news!”
“What big news? About that ‘divine punishment’ from a few days ago?”
“Sort of! Do you know why the divine punishment ended so quickly? Because someone stopped it—someone killed a god!”
“Are you joking? Who could kill a god?? His Majesty??”
“Not His Majesty! Apparently, it was that Spatial Saint—that’s what all the churches are saying!”
“No way, isn’t he only fourth-tier? How could he kill a god?? Hey, I heard the enemy kingdom might be preparing for war. Do you think the churches are spreading fake news to intimidate them?”
“Hiss… That does make sense. But why would the churches pick a fourth-tier to spread rumors about god-slaying? Saying several archbishops worked together would be more believable!”
“Uh… Good point… Whatever, it’s none of our business! Who cares—we should worry more about the possible war coming!”
