Chapter 22 - Leon's Worst Nightmare Comes True

"It's so strange, I can't see the colour of the soul of that child."

At this time, at the kitchen door, a woman with gray hair was looking at the door with curiosity.

She was busy in the kitchen just now and hadn't come out, but when she had passed by the kitchen door just now, she had casually glanced and found a figure whose soul was colourless.

She didn't react when she saw this figure, but the next second, she realized what this meant.

But by the time she reacted, the figure had disappeared.

However, Syr knew that she was definitely not wrong. Just now, she did see a person whose soul had no colour.

You know, she is the best at seeing through other people's souls.

Even if it is a god, she can see a little bit of their soul.

After all, she has eyes that can see through the soul and she is Freya, the god of love and beauty.

As long as a being has life, there is a soul, and the soul will emit light, but these lights vary from person to person.

What she likes most are souls that emits brilliant light, so she has been collecting some humans whose souls emit brilliant light to join her.

But this is the first time she has encountered a being whose soul has no light at all.

In theory, only the dead have no light in their soul, because their soul disappears. But the figure just now obviously couldn't be that of a dead person.

The dead don't move.

For a moment, a strong interest appeared in Syr's heart. Regardless of her current work, she quickly ran out of the kitchen and to the door of the tavern.

However, when she walked out of the tavern, and scanned the streets on both sides, it was pitch black and no one could be seen.

"Did he disappear so quickly?"

Standing at the door of the tavern, Syr murmured in a low voice.

"What's wrong, Syr?"

Seeing Syr's actions, Ryuu followed her out and spoke with concern.

"Ryuu, do you know the person who had bought the barbecue just now?"

Hearing Ryuu's words, Syr remembered that Ryuu had contacted that person just now, and asked hurriedly.

"He's a fellow elf, but I don't know him."

Ryuu was slightly stunned, and then answered truthfully.

"Elf?"

Syr murmured in a low voice, and didn't say anything else.

After smiling, she walked inside. Behind her, Ryuu frowned slightly when she saw Syr like this.

She felt that Syr was hiding something. But she didn't care too much. Her brows loosened, and she followed Syr into the tavern to continue her work.

The Hostess of Fertility was busy until after 12 o'clock before sending the last guest away and closing.

The waiter walked back and forth in the tavern, cleaning up the tables, chairs and tableware.

Mia called Syr over and said with a complicated face, "Do you like that elf boy?"

"Well, that boy is very special." Syr replied with a smile.

After getting this answer, Mia turned slightly silent, and finally said nothing. She shook her head and joined the cleaning team.

"This is much more interesting than those bright souls."

Syr ignored Mia and looked towards the gate. A faint smile appeared on her face and she whispered.

Leon didn't know that he had been targeted by Syr just because he had gone to the Hostess of Fertility.

And the reason for targeting was so weird.

Leon knew that Syr was in the Hostess of Fertility. But he didn't care about her.

After all, Leon didn't think that he would be targeted by Syr.

After all, he had the world's grace, and Syr, that is, Freya, cannot see through him.

However, something beyond Leon's expectations happened.

Freya set a target on him precisely because he had the world's grace and she couldn't see the light of his soul at all.

If he knew, Leon would definitely be speechless.

The information of the world's grace told Leon that other gods can't see through him, but it did not tell Leon that they couldn't see through in this way.

Even the light of his soul disappeared. Freya, a god who could see the soul, had met such an eccentric person. It would be strange if she didn't pay attention to him.

In Leon's understanding, the world's grace would prevent him from being noticed by any god.

He didn't know it would turn out like this. But Leon didn't know this for now.

At this time, he had returned to the library.

When he returned to the library, Leon saw Hestia sitting at the door.

"Ah, Leon, you are finally back."

"I thought you wouldn't come back."

Before Leon could speak, Hestia quickly ran to Leon and blamed him.

Obviously, Leon was worried about her safety, so he went out to find her.

But listening to Hestia's words, it seemed more like she had just returned from the dungeon.

After Hestia found that he hadn't arrived even at such a late hour, she was worried about his safety.

He wanted to say something, but seeing that Hestia was concerned about his safety, Leon shook his head and didn't say what he wanted to say.

"Let's go, it's late. Go back and rest."

Leon stretched out his hand, patted Hestia's head in her unhappy eyes, and said softly.

At this time, Hestia noticed something from Leon's clothes.

Then, she seemed to think of something, and suddenly became a little embarrassed.

"You came back a long time ago, and then found that I was not here, so you went out to find me?" Hestia asked.

"It's good that you know."

"Next time you go out at night, leave a note for me. Don't let me look for you everywhere like a headless fly."

Leon glanced at her and said lightly.

"Ahahaha! Sorry sorry, I will definitely leave a note for you next time."

Hestia was even more embarrassed, and apologized with a laugh.

"Well, let's go in."

Leon nodded, and did not ask Hestia what she was doing. This was not his business.

"Yes~"
