Witch, Fireball and the Evil God of Steam-Chapter 902 - 185: Bazatous Sleepless Tonight (Part 2)
Youth, wealth, desire, and even... life and soul!
This is the Goddess's final test for him. The only outcome of opposing Pope Carlo in the Far West has been proven by countless people over the past year.
And now, it is the moment for him to fully commit to the path of an ascetic and sacrifice his life for justice.
Solari's gaze became more determined than ever. He donned the gray and white priest robe of a bishop and tidied up his appearance one last time, gripping the staff symbolizing the bishop's authority, and walked towards the Border Administration Bureau without looking back.
This was the revelation given to him by the Apostle.
This final trial started with two civilians falsely accused by the Border Administration Bureau and made scapegoats!
"I take back my previous thoughts."
Solari's thoughts and emotions, through the dancing arcs of electricity, reflected in Ethan's heart, and he sincerely expressed respect for Solari's resolve.
Even Ethan did not expect Solari to dare to stand against Pope Carlo for a bottle of magic potion priced at 201 gold lions.
They all knew what this meant. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
With Solari's power, he could not change anything. Even he knew that doing so would only lead to a dead end. Nevertheless, he was still willing to sacrifice his life for the road he walked on.
The literary girl also put away her disdainful expression, staring at his back thoughtfully.
"Solari..."
She remembered the name of this human and said softly, "He can use Wind Element Magic."
"And also Electric Element Magic."
The electric element senior stood in front of several people, adjusted his pompadour, then turned his face slightly to look at Ethan, "Senzi, our magic pharmacy is the kind of reliable merchant that offers after-sales service, right?"
The Goddess of Life had long fallen, which was an undeniable fact.
But for Solari, this was absolutely a profitable business.
Because, in this way, he received the attention of another "god."

Meanwhile, Bazatous also spent a relatively intriguing night.
This was the first time He had arranged to travel far with a human, arrived in a strange city, and stayed in a human hotel.
But tonight, He suffered from insomnia.
Since night fell, His ears had been constantly filled with prayers from humans, indicating that those praying to Him were very close and that they were preparing for a grand soul sacrifice ceremony.
Bazatous initially intended to discuss this with Ethan, but when He knocked on Ethan's room door, Little Dark informed Him that Ethan and Lindong had gone out for something in the middle of the night, and their whereabouts were unknown.
After a moment of thought in the room, He made a decision.
He wanted to go there and take a look.
Not after the sacrifice ceremony is completed, using the magic power hub as a medium to take a glance across time and space, but to actually walk among them, to understand why these humans hoped to summon the Old Gods.
Kaisaros had also repeatedly mentioned to Him that humans are an interesting species, and He enjoyed wandering around as Kane, bringing Himself directly into the center of the conflict.
In hindsight, the relationships among the Old Gods were not originally this close. He did not originally understand Kaisaros and Anapolis until Ethan's appearance bridged them, forming the concept of "friends" among Them.
This is intriguing because Their true forms are separated by countless planes, especially after the sealing was completed. Theoretically, there should have been no possibility of further deep connections.
Under the influence of these "friends," He gradually adapted to the feeling of engaging with individual humans.
This time, the continuous prayers led Bazatous towards the northwest of the border city. He walked alone in the night, moving further away from the city until the entire city silhouette became indistinguishable. Only then did the light from illuminating crystals and the sounds of busy miners reach Him from afar.
'Remains of Saints.'
This is the name of the mine, and Bazatous had seen recruitment information for the mine in the hotel's promotional booklet.
Besides the Devoted Battle Group, the Church Court required a large number of miners to prepare strategic materials for them, and working in the mine could also earn salvation contribution points. However, compared to donations and joining the battle group, the points miners could earn were very low, and it seemed not to have any respectable status in the Far West.
Bazatous had only wandered around the mine for a bit before being handed a safety helmet and a miner's pick by the overseer.
These people were mining a substance known as "Saint Bones."
The overseer and the guards of the mine strictly kept the purposes of these materials confidential. People only knew that the substances would be uniformly boxed and sent to the Crown of Dawn Cathedral.
Bazatous picked up a piece of Saint Bone, weighing it in His hand, and immediately understood this was similar to energy storage crystals, serving as a suitable container for storing Magic Power.
Most of the miners here worked day and night, seemingly inspired by the Church Court. The entrance of the mine had been constructed in the imposing style of a fortress cathedral, with a giant holy emblem hanging over the archway, engraved on both sides with the maxim 'Labor is prayer, dedication earns redemption.'
On this journey, Bazatous also learned a lot. In terms of propaganda and organization, the Life Divine Teachings were far ahead of those who believed in Him.
The Kingdom's law enforcement team, clad in bright silver armor, stood guard at the gate, their expressions solemn. Rather than guarding, they were supervising, ensuring every 'worker' sent in was diligently working. For those unable to lift their picks, the overseer would occasionally give them an uplifting speech.
