Betrayed by the Succubus, I Raise a Twelve-winged Angel

Chapter 307 - 308: Angel Laney!

In the following days, Aster Grant’s body fully recovered.

During these days, he explored the entire village thoroughly.

Only then could he confirm that previously, it was definitely due to The Void’s turbulence that both were swept into different places.

However....

Through this period, Aster also realized.

In this world, it seems....

The most talented beings only have ten wings.

Moreover, the Angel Race is remarkably united.

Therefore, as long as Lazuli with ten wings hasn’t entered the territory of the Demon Clan, the problem isn’t too big.

Now the difficulty is...

how he can gather information about Lazuli’s whereabouts in this world.

As a human wanting to roam in a world full of angels, a slight misstep could lead to being considered a spy of the Demon Clan.

"Alas~"

Thinking of this, Aster couldn’t help but sigh.

After taking a deep breath to calm down, Aster tightened his black robe and headed towards the small cabin.

During this time, he also figured out the identity of the two angels who saved him.

The old angel is the village chief of this remote village, and the young one is the village chief’s granddaughter, named Laney.

The village is not big, and he quickly returned to Laney’s home.

Because Laney couldn’t stay idle, and Aster had nothing to do these days, he often told her about his experiences in the Otherworld.

This led to...

his image in Laney’s mind rising rapidly recently.

Upon seeing Aster open the door and enter, Laney immediately put on a solemn face and warned seriously:

"Why did you go out again? I’ve already told you, your identity is too special. If other angels discover and report you to the patrol team, you’ll be in big trouble!"

For his lifesaver, Aster’s heart was filled with gratitude.

He smiled lightly and explained casually:

"Just taking a walk, getting some fresh air."

Then changing his tone, he cut straight to the point: "Laney, the information about Lazuli I asked you to gather... Is there any progress?"

Upon hearing this, Laney couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

She didn’t believe Aster’s claim of having "contracted a Ten-winged Angel."

But seeing his sincere attitude, she still helped to gather some information.

"The Ten-winged Angel you mentioned couldn’t possibly appear in places as remote as this."

She sighed, but her tone softened, "Even if... even if the ’Beastbond’ you mentioned is truly a Ten-winged Angel, she is most likely in the Holy City."

"And from here to the Holy City, it’s eighty thousand miles away—you’re just a human..."

She shook her head, "It’s better not to have unrealistic thoughts."

Holy City!

Aster frowned slightly upon hearing Laney’s words.

The distance wasn’t very important.

Although he didn’t have any Beastbond with him now.

However, with his various attributes and the Domain of Emperor’s Might, the power he could unleash was at Monarch Level.

Although it’s not enough to let him move freely in this world, traveling isn’t a big problem.

"Which direction is the Holy City in?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Aster decisively asked.

Laney was stunned by his words, looking at him in disbelief:

"You... you really want to go to the Holy City? Are you crazy!"

She continuously shook her head, repeatedly saying "You simply can’t reach there."

However, under Aster’s resolute gaze like a stone, she eventually conceded.

"It’s in the east..." she replied softly, still with a trace of concern, "If you keep heading east, you should be able to reach the Holy City."

"But along the way... there will be many Demon Clan appearances."

"Thank you."

Aster solemnly thanked her and then got up to leave.

He couldn’t afford to delay too long.

Now, Lazuli’s situation was completely unclear.

Although there’s no life threat, Lazuli must be incredibly worried about him.

Moreover, his other Beastbonds are still in Alternate Space.

If he dawdled too long in this world....

Who knows what trouble the other Beastbonds might cause.

Just before leaving...

Aster took out two materials from the Beastbond Space and handed them to Laney.

"You must accept this! You must use it according to the method I’ve written!"

Having said that, without waiting for Laney’s response, he turned and headed towards the door.

What he left behind was...

The upgrade materials suitable for Laney and her grandfather.

After all, they saved his life.

He couldn’t think of another way to repay the two for a while.

Just right, he had collected quite a lot of materials in his Beastbond Space before.

Luckily, there were materials to let two-winged angels break through.

So, he left them behind.

And shortly after Aster left, Laney’s grandfather walked in from outside.

Looking at his somewhat dazed granddaughter, the old man sighed.

"Laney, we are not from the same world as him!"

Although it was only a few days, Aster’s temperament still attracted this inexperienced little girl.

Although Laney herself did not notice it, as the only relative who grew up with her.

He naturally knew his granddaughter’s thoughts.

At this point, Laney looked dumbfounded at her grandfather.

"Grandfather, do you think what Aster said about contracting a Ten-winged Angel is true?"

The old angel shook his head. Frankly, he couldn’t be sure.

His gaze shifted to the materials left by Aster, casually picked up the piece of paper beside it to read.

After reading a few sentences, his pupils shrunk suddenly, and he tore the piece of paper to shreds without hesitation, then quickly closed the doors and windows.

Just because the paper clearly stated how they could upgrade from two-winged angels to four-winged angels!

In this world, every additional two wings represents a tremendous leap in status—

Two-winged angels are at the bottom, while four-winged angels can enter the middle tier.

Now, before them lies a key enough to change their fate.

At this moment, he suddenly believed Aster’s claim a little.

Perhaps... he really contracted a Ten-winged Angel.

Thinking of this, he turned sharply to Laney, his gaze intense.

This child’s parents had already died in this border village long ago.

This place could be invaded by the Demon Clan anytime; he was old and unafraid of death, but Laney was still young...

"Laney, take these two materials and immediately go after Aster—accompany him to the Holy City!"

Almost instantly, the old man made his decision.

Laney, although still puzzled, dared not ask more upon seeing her grandfather’s unprecedented seriousness, subconsciously turning to dash in Aster’s direction.

Watching his granddaughter’s distant figure, the old man exhaled deeply.

He knew what he was doing might displease Aster.

But he had no choice.

The peace in the Angel World is a facade; most of the territory had long been lost to the Demon Clan.

And they, in such border villages, could be swallowed by demon waves and totally disappear tomorrow.

So, to let Laney live, he had no other choice.
