The sunlight is still disproportionately good.

Even in a northern land like Saint Kuanti, the sunlight bathes every inch of the city.

Though the snow outside the city shows no signs of melting, inside the city, it's already the complete scent of spring.

The springtime aura seems to have revitalized the once-decaying city with new life.

After the Saint Kuanti event, not many people have visited, but thanks to the spirit of Saint Kuanti guarding here, the city hasn't been as sordid as imagined.

At least the corpses and wreckages in the city have disappeared under his purification.

If there were any remnants, the people leftover from the Bolita family that Ethan left helped clean them up.

So it's not a terrifying sight with corpses everywhere.

The city now looks more like a monument.

Under the sunlight, there's even a faint sense of sanctity.

This scene compelled a journalist accompanying Ethan and the others to take out their camera and start capturing it.

Meanwhile, the orphans of Saint Kuanti, led by Ethan, slowly approached the city, standing in silent and solemn tribute.

Naturally, this scene was also captured by the journalist.

Ethan, leading the children forward, suddenly felt a slight tremor upon reaching the center of the city.

It was a stirring from the realm of the mind, accompanied by an overwhelming sacred aura enveloping them.

Ethan understood that Saint Kuanti had awakened and noticed them.

Seeing the orphans of Saint Kuanti seemed to bring Saint Kuanti comfort; the light he emanated was so gentle and pleasing, slowly draping over Ethan and the children.

Once again, this scene was observed by those trailing behind.

At that instant, regardless of prior disbelief, everyone felt touched.

Could it be that Saint Kuanti is more than just a city rumored to be built by a Saint?

Is it truly under the protection of a Saint?

For a moment, everyone forgot to take pictures; some even had the impulse to worship.

But it lasted only a moment, and the sacred light vanished, leading people to think it was just an illusion.

Yet Sofia, following closely, knew it was no illusion because she clearly felt a comforting warm aura entering her body, relaxing and brightening her completely.

That must be Saint Kuanti revealing himself.

As expected from Ethan, she knew Ethan was bright enough that even Saint Kuanti would show himself for him.

Ethan knew, however, that this was merely a spontaneous act from Saint Kuanti; he truly loved this land, loved this city, and loved its people.

The light was a blessing bestowed upon those children.

While it didn't have great power, at least their bodies would be healthy and free from illness for several years, supporting their growth.

After the city tour, Ethan led the group to the already prepared site, which also housed his weapons factory.

The northern area of Saint Kuanti, very close to the port, but separated by a grand church.

That church, naturally, is the church of Saint Kuanti.

Ethan's weapons factory was situated where once some fishery processing plants seemed to be; now, with no one in Saint Kuanti, he had reconstructed it.

The weapons factory was taking shape; a batch of workers had arrived earlier, and now there was a large-scale entry, along with the addition of a core manager, Huoyan.

Of course, he couldn't use his codename in front of others; "Rich Gat," now the director and design director of Bolita Weapons Factory under Bolita Investment Company.

At this time, journalists were interviewing him as the central figure of the first revived factory in Saint Kuanti.

Even though Rich Gat was usually reclusive, when surrounded by people, he could talk pleasantly. He was the one who initially reached out to Ethan on the way to Saint Kuanti.

Now, he seemed to have shed any discomfort from being forced to come by Ethan, appearing particularly adaptable, as if he greatly enjoyed being interviewed.

He consistently discussed his design philosophy, design ideas, and urged the journalists to make sure their reports were clear.

Ethan observed that apart from being a homebody, this guy liked to be noticed.

Beside the weapons factory was a temporarily arranged dwelling.

Originally, it should have been the dormitory area of the fishery processing plant, so the environment wasn't really good.

Sofia seemed unsure of her footing.

"Sofia, it's going to be tough for you this time; conditions here are a bit harsh." Ethan said apologetically.

"It's okay, actually. I think it's novel. I've never been to a place like this before, nor lived in such a house." Sofia's eyes indeed showed curiosity and freshness.

"By the way, earlier I really felt Saint Kuanti's blessing, is he truly real?"

Speaking softly, as if afraid of being overheard.

"Perhaps he exists." Ethan was noncommittal.

"Is that Saint Kuanti's sanctuary? I want to go worship him." As she wandered around the temporary house, Sofia suddenly saw the church not far out the window and said.

"Sure." Ethan nodded, seeing that Saint Kuanti was in a good mood today, he indeed wanted to chat with him.

Sofia was pleased, skipping a bit as she went downstairs, feeling like she was going on an adventure with Ethan, very thrilling.

However, after walking for a bit, she realized they had company.

Anya.

"Is the driver lady coming too?"

"I also want to worship." Anya remained expressionless.

And so, the three of them headed toward Saint Kuanti's church.

Saint Kuanti's church features typical architecture of the last century, likely settled when the city was established, undergoing years of maintenance without any major changes.

Though called a grand church, it actually doesn't cover a large area, standing at the corner, overlooking the sea, more resembling a lighthouse than a church.

Pushing open the large doors of the church, the interior was simple, with few chairs, and at the farthest end stood a statue of Saint Kuanti, very bare, potentially considered coarse, lacking detail, with the face sculpted in a vague manner.

Yet it was very divine, with Saint Kuanti's compassion, and sacred aura prominently highlighted, looking at it brought peace.

Seeing the statue, Sofia ran up and began her prayers and wishes.

Anya didn't move.

"Aren't you going?" Ethan looked at her.

Anya shook her head: "I don't believe in this, Young Master, I only believe in you."

Hearing this, Ethan smiled and gently held her hand.

Then he casually selected a chair to sit down.

Soon, he felt someone sit next to him, very warm, full of light's presence.
