Looking at the two figures on the ground, even though Bishop Roxana hadn't directly explained the situation to her, Monica could still guess what had happened here.
Though shocked that Earl Bard, who had actually ruled Kara City for decades, had died here, she did not stop, quickly walking to the side of the injured person.
Liens did not stop Monica from approaching; he could sense that she held no ill will and saw no murderous intent from her.
Moreover, although his current state was very poor, his injuries had already recovered somewhat after taking a Healing Potion.
He wasn't sure he could defeat this familiar priest in front of him, but self-preservation shouldn't be much of a problem. At worst, he still had the water of life as a trump card.
Most importantly, he saw that the priest in front of him had come to heal him. As an injured person, he couldn't be so foolish as to refuse a doctor who had personally come to treat him.
"Heal."
Monica extended her hands in front of Liens, fully concentrating on controlling the healing holy light to treat his injuries.
After being enveloped by the healing holy light, Liens could feel his body's recovery ability greatly strengthened, and the medicinal effects that had not been fully absorbed were quickly absorbed by his body.
Seeing this, Liens once again took out a bottle of advanced Healing Potion from his belt space and consumed it, aiding his body's recovery.
Soon, with the help of the holy light and the Healing Potion, Liens's broken bones reconnected, and the cracked wounds on his body turned back into normal skin.
However, the bloodstains on his body still made Liens look somewhat miserable.
"Thank you."
Liens spoke to express his gratitude to Monica, while also stopping her from continuing to waste her power on saturation healing; his current injuries had recovered sufficiently.
Although he still felt somewhat weak, that was due to excessive blood loss combined with immense exertion, and had little to do with his physical injuries.
Next, he only needed a period of recuperation to return to his peak state.
"You're too kind."
Although she had helped Liens, Monica did not seek to exploit his gratitude, maintaining a respectful attitude towards Liens.
After all, Liens was a powerful existence capable of killing that Earl. Without understanding his personality, maintaining as much respect as possible was not a wrong action.
Seeing Liens slowly stand up, Monica wanted to help him, but Liens refused; he wasn't that weak.
"Miss Priest, could you please turn around for a moment? I need to change my clothes."
Liens said to Monica.
Under such extreme speed, even the bones of his body had broken, let alone his ordinary cloth clothes, which had long turned into a cloud of ash.
If it weren't for the bloodstains covering him, he would have been almost naked. Although he didn't particularly care about this, the person opposite him was a woman, so he should at least consider her feelings.
"You can just call me Monica."
Monica simply stated her name, then obediently turned around.
After Monica turned around, Liens first cleaned the bloodstains from his body, then stripped off the clothes of the deceased Earl Bard, trimmed them, and put them on himself.
Since they were only for temporary covering, there was no need to be too particular.
"You can turn back now, Miss Monica."
Hearing the call, Monica turned back and saw Liens, who had already tidied himself up.
Although the clothes, which were several sizes too large, looked a bit strange on him, his clean and refined face and the aura that harmoniously blended with the surroundings made people overlook the strangeness, instead believing it to be a new fashion style.
"If only his hair were longer."
Monica silently lamented in her heart.
Under those circumstances, Liens was naturally powerless to protect his beautiful hair, so they, like his clothes, had become free. His current buzz cut was even grown out by the Healing Potion.
Seeing Monica subtly examine him, then secretly lament, Liens felt a bit speechless.
You can look, but what is there to lament?
Too lazy to care about Monica's strange thoughts, Liens asked, "Miss Monica, were you sent by your Bishop?"
After seeing Monica earlier, he had guessed that the previous gaze originated from Bishop Roxana of the Heavenly Light Church Church. Now he was just confirming it further.
"Yes, the Bishop said there was an injured existence here and asked me to come over."
Monica withdrew her gaze from Liens and replied.
"Is that so? Then I thank Bishop Roxana and thank Miss Monica again for your healing."
Liens smiled, and at the same time, his evaluation of Bishop Roxana improved somewhat.
The reason he was so concerned about the previous gaze was that with his current ability, he could only vaguely sense it but couldn't trace its source.
This made him realize that his information perception ability was not that invincible; it was only stronger than a brute like a Knight, and might just be a regular operation compared to other professions.
After asking the questions he cared about, Liens found that there wasn't much left to talk about with Monica.
Once, she was an opponent he couldn't contend with, but now, he could no longer feel much threat from her.
However, she had helped him after all, so he was thinking about how he should pay for Monica's healing services.
"Sir, what's wrong?"
Seeing Liens lost in thought, Monica asked if he had encountered any difficulties.
"Just call me Liens… After thinking about it, I don't know what to give you as payment for coming all this way, Miss Monica, so I'll give you this."
"This is an alchemical item called Illusion Mask, and it doesn't have a fixed appearance yet, so it's quite valuable."
"If Miss Monica has any disguise needs, then this alchemical item is a good choice."
"You only need to use mental power to change its appearance. Of course, if an ordinary person needs to hold the Illusion Mask and constantly recall the appearance of the mask, they will eventually make it fixed."
Liens took out a translucent, gelatinous object that looked like a face mask from his belt space and handed it to Monica, explaining.
Monica took the Illusion Mask and examined it carefully for a couple of glances. After hearing the explanation, the uses for this item immediately popped into her mind, and she happily put it into her pocket.
Afterward, Liens chose a suitable pit to bury Earl Bard. After all, he was a respectable strong existence, and Liens couldn't really let him be abandoned in the wilderness to become food for wild beasts.
"Tomb of Bard Glenbagen, an old man dedicated to protecting his family, a respectable opponent."
Liens found a stone nearby and carved an epitaph for Earl Bard, erecting it in front of the grave.
Monica, on the other hand, watched Liens's actions with a strange expression, unsure whether she should remind him that Kara City had a public cemetery.
