Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva

Chapter 141: Chapter 85 Seeking the Truth About One's Origin (Part 2)

The paperwork for the giant spider was in order, so the staff member nodded after checking and continued to speak.

"Since it's the Godly General's time to patrol the city, any apparitions that appear will be swept away. If this lady doesn't want to be accidentally harmed, please keep your pet out of the Godly Generals' path, or hold it in your arms, so it won't be seen as a harmful entity."

"I see," the girl nodded. The "Godly General" just now probably thought the giant spider was bad, squatting on top of her head.

The staff member gave a few more instructions before leaving, but he didn't go far before he turned back to look at the girl's retreating figure.

"I always feel like I've seen her somewhere... Never mind, I need to rush back to report; otherwise, the masters will say I'm slacking off again."

Letting the giant spider return to hiding in her shadow, Hexia went back to the hotpot restaurant, finished eating, and then left.

At night, she slept in an underground hotel in Jielou City, with the bustling street just outside her window.

Although close to the street, the soundproofing was very good. Even if people were barbequing and chatting all night downstairs, Hexia slept comfortably.

The next day, she continued to explore the underground of Jielou City. Through conversations with the locals, she gradually learned some details about Jielou City and why they didn't directly pay with Federation Coins.

"It's like this, sister," a girl holding a candied haw on a stick explained in front of Hexia.

"Many things here circulate internally. If we use the official payment channels, we have to pay taxes, and it involves business licenses and such. In fact, most things are handcrafted and not very standardized, which makes things troublesome. Even if a shop receives money, they need to convert it through other means to get it into their own hands." She seemed to be about 14 years old, sitting on a chair, swinging her legs cheerfully, eating the candied haw Hexia had given her.

"What doth thou seek?"

"I hope to be promoted to a Sequence 4 job this year. I wonder if Kinnara Heaven could bless me," a worshipper kneeled on a cushion.

"The gods only help those who help themselves. If you are fully prepared and confident, you will surely fulfill your wish," the AI solemnly responded.

"Thank you, master," the joyous person stood, then left with gratitude.

Then, others continued to make wishes and seek answers, some leaving satisfied and others departing with trepidation.

Next was Hexia's turn. At this time, she placed the giant spider in a backpack by her side and bowed before the statue, without kneeling.

Though not much of a believer in gods, she offered incense and prayers out of respect.

"I hope to learn about my mother's background and past," she murmured softly.

After a long while, as she opened her eyes, inserted the incense into the Incense Burner, and was about to leave, the golden bronze master beside her suddenly spoke.

"You should head to Bamboo Lane on Chenxiang Street; there you will find clues to your prayer." After which, he closed his mouth and began to attend to the next worshipper.
