After watching the video, Guinaifen sighed bitterly.
"Sigh~ After it happened, my sisters and I were kicked out of Fyxestroll Garden. But Fam, did you notice the key point?"
"How did it switch to a third-person perspective at the end?"
"That was editing; I added some editing. To express the cause and effect clearly, the most critical thing is—"
"Ahem!" She cleared her throat and took out a spare magnifying glass. "Look closely. The ones who came to handle this matter were not the Realm-Keeping Commission or the Cloud Knights, but the Judges of the Ten-Lords Commission!"
"Ten-Lords Commission... what is that?"
"Huh? You've been on the Xianzhou for so long and haven't heard of the Ten-Lords Commission?"
"They are the most mysterious institution on the Xianzhou! Their officers always appear mysteriously and disappear mysteriously... but wherever they appear, a major case is bound to happen!"
"In other words, a [Sensational Xianzhou Event] must have happened in Fyxestroll Garden for us to see them take action."
Stelle speculated, "Maybe it was just a false alarm?"
"There is that possibility, but Sushang and I were quickly driven away by the Judges. Before leaving, I noticed that those Judges seemed to be planning to set something up in Fyxestroll Garden."
"There must be a conspiracy involved... uh, I mean, there are ghosts!"
"Hey~ speaking of which, do you have time, Miss? How about we explore Fyxestroll Garden together, just the two of us? I promise we'll dig out the truth this time."
"I'm a little scared..."
Before Stelle could finish, Guinaifen cast an understanding look: "I understand. I'm also very scared, but I believe courage will return to us sooner or later!"
"So... I'm going to hire a Ghost Hunting Expert to help me."
...
Moments later, Stelle dragged Adrian over using a [Thrilling Mystery Adventure] as an excuse.
"When did I become a [Ghost Hunting Expert]?"
"Hey~ ignore the nickname. This is a soul-stirring Fyxestroll Garden expedition! Aren't you looking forward to it?" Stelle asked rhetorically.
"Not as good as milk tea."
Stelle's mouth twitched. She didn't expect someone could always use milk tea as an excuse for leave: "Heavens, does milk tea flow through your veins?"
"Could be."
"Boss Adrian?!" Guinaifen was shocked at first, then greeted him enthusiastically.
"Eh? You know each other?"
Stelle had a brainstorming session. It seems HIS milk tea shop isn't that obscure... Wait, could it be that Adrian is the hidden 'Top Spender' in Guinaifen's livestream room?
"Thanks to your care over these years, my livestreaming has been able to succeed."
Guinaifen had two benefactors in her life: Sushang and Adrian.
Guinaifen, originally named Guinevere, was originally from a wealthy family on the outworld planet Camelot. For young Guinevere, her whole world was the Protector's mansion and the prosperous market in front of the large house.
Teachers said her family had a long history and a prominent reputation, and this mansion had a history of several Amber Eras.
But time seemed not to have left a single trace on it. It seemed independent of the laws of time, sheltering this family in eternal peace and beauty...
Mmh... you just mentioned [Eternity], right?
So, the moment the [Antimatter Legion] invaded her planet in force, the [Church of Eternity] arrived right on their heels. The whole process had a time difference of only ten seconds.
Her deepest impression was of a liturgy priestess wearing a veil, holding a heavy and vintage book, muttering words in her mouth.
Looking at her attire and casting animation, Guinevere originally thought she was a healing-type character.
The result...
"Studying medicine cannot save the [Church of Eternity]. Lord Ite, grant me strength!"
That liturgy priestess took a deep breath, threw the holy book in her hand with force, knocking a Voidranger unconscious, and then took advantage of the momentum to pull out a high-tech energy gun.
Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat!
A hail of bullets. Countless Voidrangers were annihilated in an instant. That priestess sister was simply a god of war, killing her way through.
After annihilating the enemy forces, she changed back to a particularly gentle appearance, thoughtfully treating all the wounded.
In the battle between the [Church of Eternity] and the [Antimatter Legion], avoiding human casualties was already the best outcome, but some architectural facilities suffered terribly. Burning streets were everywhere.
On both sides of the street, charred architectural skeletons pierced the gray sky. Unburnt debris occasionally emitted wisps of green smoke, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of mixed scorch and dust.
However, on this huge scar, the will of rebirth and repair had already sprouted. Figures in simple clerical robes became moving bright spots among the ruins.
The Church's clerics pushed carts loaded with building materials and supplies, shuttling through the rubble, clearing the site, building temporary shelters, and distributing food and medicine. They used their actions to wrap resilient vines around this burning wound little by little, trying to stitch up vitality.
And that liturgy priestess she had seen would take time every day to perform various acrobatics for the children, including but not limited to: high-altitude free fall, speed-reading the Book of Eternal Virtues, and copying the entire content of the Doctrine of Eternity within five minutes.
Mmh... these performances were still too advanced for young Guinevere, but she was greatly shocked!
Sweat slid down the liturgy priestess's forehead. She always wore a gentle and focused smile on her face. It was hard to imagine this was the same person who cleared the Legion Voidrangers with an energy gun.
That smile seemed to have penetrating power, like a stubborn ray of sunlight, landing precisely on every upturned little face, dispelling the haze that shrouded them.
A person's gaze cannot be narrow forever; one must always broaden their horizons. Guinevere, having spent her entire girlhood, bid farewell to her hometown, planning to go out and venture.
To become a fiery, enthusiastic, and brilliant outworlder [Street Performance Artist]!
...
A sojourner from outside the Xianzhou had actually learned so many acrobatic skills, and there were even quite a few techniques that seemed quite difficult to master in the eyes of long-life species.
Most importantly, as a short-life species, Guinaifen brought a breath of fresh air to the Xianzhou's lifeless folk art circle, which was naturally a wonderful thing.
In addition to performing traditional acrobatics like fire breathing, sword swallowing, bowl balancing, umbrella spinning, throat-breaking spear, and smashing large stones on the chest, she also creatively invented unique skills like catching bullets with bare hands, eating noodles while doing a handstand, and whistling while brushing teeth.
As for why Adrian became the Top Spender in her livestream room... Mmh, rather than a Top Spender, it's better to say Sponsor.
The Church's funds were all invested in the construction of [Eternity] statues; where would they have money for publicity?
"That's not right. What does juggling have to do with the Church?"
"Good question, Fam!"
Guinaifen immediately demonstrated to Stelle. First, she performed a bit of acrobatics, then launched into an ad with zero transition frames:
"Interstellar travel... I only go to the [Church of Eternity]! Tired all over after a day of work~ At this time, you need to use the Church's specialty soap! Essential supplies for home and travel! No need to spend any credits, just click the link below to book a one-day tour of the [Church of Eternity]. Action speaks louder than words, what are you waiting for?"
