Don't take away my human rights. Painful Archbishop Chapter 249 The Wonderful Adventures of Hyperion, the Far Northwest of the Northern Continent.
The Northern Land of the Kingdom of Aestelan.

Sunlight streamed through the dense canopy, dancing with golden dust particles floating in the air, painting the forest morning with a soft glow. As the morning mist slowly dissipated, the city-state gradually awakened.

The royal capital, Gedalia, blended deeply with the surrounding enchanted forests and lakes. Whether it was the architectural style, urban planning, or the lifestyle of the residents, everything maintained a harmonious relationship with nature, preserving natural features while embodying the wisdom of modern craftsmanship.

People began to bustle in the streets. Messengers riding giant bird mounts hurried past, their light armor glinting in the sunlight.

Water flowed gently through wooden canals, traversing every corner of the city, nourishing the land.

This giant kingdom was filled with inclusivity. One could see residents of various appearances and ethnicities along the way, but they didn't find each other strange.

Aestelan was originally a federal kingdom composed of multi-ethnic autonomy, which determined that their culture was at odds with the Protos Empire.

Although not as advanced in magical engineering as the Protos, their combat power was still quite formidable due to their profound heritage and diverse magical texts in pure magic and martial arts. They were one of the few powerful countries in the Northern Continent that could directly resist the Protos Empire.

Deep within the city, by a clear lake surrounded by forests, stood a towering temple.

The peaceful sky above the temple suddenly trembled slightly, followed by a low hum. As the sound grew louder, a medium-sized passenger dragon slowly descended from the sky. Its wings stirred, kicking up leaves and dust from the ground.

Finally, the dragon landed steadily some distance in front of the temple, and several figures jumped down.

The leader, a high priest, wore immaculate white robes with gold embroidery along the edges. He led the way.

Behind him followed an executioner in heavy armor and a red cloak, and a paladin in shining silver armor.

These three clearly held high positions in the church. As they descended, passing clergy greeted them, but they all showed particular respect to the last guest.

"Miss Hyperion, we will take you to see the Holy Maiden."

The priest said respectfully.

"..."

Hyperion gazed at the temple with a complicated expression.

She had already removed her disguise and returned to her original appearance with silver hair and amber eyes.

"Ah, alright."

Hyperion sighed and followed the three familiar figures into the magnificent temple.

The reason she was with them in the Northern Continent stemmed from the shipwreck.

Hyperion never expected that her and Lan Qi's journey to the Northern Continent would deviate so greatly. She had drifted into a disaster zone, forcing her to bypass that area, and then she directly arrived at the border of the Kingdom of Aestelan.

At first, local residents suspected her of being a stowaway or spy from the Protos Empire. Fortunately, she was good at escaping and quickly shook off the guards.

Then, after learning about the bizarre version of the Northern Continent, she realized that someone like her without an identity would have a hard time in the Kingdom of Aestelan.

So she simply went to the Temple of the Goddess of Destiny in the border city-state and requested to see the three leaders.

The three of them were now quite famous in the Kingdom of Aestelan. It seemed that after that Shadow World event, they had not only advanced to the sixth rank but had also become the main force in cleansing the country of evil cults.

With the help of the priests in the border city church, the three of them, upon hearing that their friend and spiritual mentor from the Southern Continent had arrived, rushed to the border town overnight.

When they found Hyperion, they invited her to the Temple of the Goddess of Destiny in the royal capital of Aestelan.

In addition to helping her obtain an official identity in the Kingdom of Aestelan in the royal capital, it was said that there was also an order from the Holy Maiden.
