Chapter 186 Royal Infighting
Above the gray fog.
Mr. Fool breathed a sigh of relief upon returning to his little nest. Now that he was safe, he happily took out his spoils and discovered that the blasphemous card had been unlocked, with even the password omitted. Mr. Fool felt that his hard work had not been in vain.
On the card of blasphemy, Emperor Roselle is depicted in armor, wearing a cloak, a crown, and holding a scepter, sitting on his throne in a very imposing manner. When the card is opened, the recipe and detailed description of the Black Emperor's potion are revealed page by page.
The only missing parts are Sequence 2 and Sequence 0.
"The Emperor's diary states that each blasphemous tablet should record complete knowledge of the entire path. What did that woman do?"
Without saying a word, Klein immediately began to divine the contents of the blasphemous card before it was modified.
Backlund.
Chael traveled by boat all the way back to this international metropolis.
There were quite a few people picking him up this time.
Especially Mr. Cecima, the Goddess Sword, stared intently at the enormous violin case that Shael was carrying.
He could already sense the aura of the holy sword.
"This sword has been a great help to me."
Without hesitation, Chael returned the sacred object to its owner.
"Let's go, Archbishop Anthony is waiting for you."
Bishop Elektra looked at Chael with a headache.
He was glad the student was back, but it would have been better if the student's story wasn't so legendary.
Chael nodded, got into the carriage, and followed the others back to St. Samuel's Cathedral. Daly, sitting beside him, asked in surprise:
"You're at Sequence 6?"
"This is all thanks to the goddess's protection."
Chael drew a crimson moon on her chest.
"Where exactly were you 'exiled' to?"
"We can't find it no matter how hard we look."
Dai Li's problem was also of concern to the other two gentlemen.
"I'm not sure. It was pitch black and filled with the aura of a curse. But I was able to sense the goddess's power through the sacred object. Later, I entered the underworld and was able to find my way back through it."
Xia Er knew nothing when asked.
"Archbishop Anthony might understand."
Cecima pondered for a moment before speaking.
"You are already a Sequence 6 Extraordinary, and given your previous contributions, you can be promoted to bishop of a diocese or deacon of the Night Watch ahead of schedule."
Archbishop Anthony didn't really know where Chael had gone, he only had some general guesses, but one thing was certain: the little guy had gained the approval of the goddess's sacred object, that is, he had gained the approval of the goddess.
Why don't we arrange it right away?
First, one can be promoted to bishop or deacon. Once one reaches the fifth rank of general ascension and takes charge of a sacred relic, one can be directly promoted to archbishop or high-ranking deacon.
Chael has virtually no competitors on the path of the Hanged Man. As long as he doesn't encounter any problems, he will definitely be among the candidates to be promoted to demigod in the future, and he will become one of the highest-ranking clergy under the Pope.
"What about my previous comments?"
Shael was so moved by the sincerity of the Church of the Night that he almost gave up his position as a Sequence 1 Archangel and stayed in Backlund, in St. Samuel's Cathedral.
When the people of Rune, who have lived for decades or even centuries, are about to settle scores with the Witch Church, they can take the opportunity to raise a Sequence 3 Immortal Witch, which will solve even the problem of lifespan. It's simply perfect.
"In fact, the church is not indifferent to the problems in Rune."
"It's just that dealing with a country is more troublesome than dealing with supernatural events."
Archbishop Anthony's meaning was clear: the matter was in the past, and it would be impolite to bring it up again.
"Archbishop Anthony, I never actually thought about dealing with these extraordinary events before, and I'm not interested in them."
"When I was in seminary, all I thought about was how to spread the faith in the goddess and receive the believers who came to church to pray. Later, my desire to become an extraordinary person was just a longing for the mysterious."
"I craved that power, and at the time I thought it was just a personal matter, my freedom, and I never considered it further."
I will also learn shooting, combat, and how to analyze supernatural events, so that I can stand up when faced with them...:”
As Xia Er spoke, a hint of genuine emotion emerged. If he hadn't joined the Church of the Night, he probably wouldn't have bothered dealing with any extraordinary events.
He's probably like Miss Justice, embarking on the path of the extraordinary simply for personal fulfillment. Even if joining the church is just for fun, the church's inherent nature still plays a positive role.
This experience is indeed a nice diversion from life.
"This is the mission of the church."
"We walk in the darkness, watching over the darkness before dawn."
Archbishop Anthony was pleased with Xiaer's remark, and he seemed somewhat moved as well, saying a few more words than usual.
After this incident, Chael's position in St. Samuel's Cathedral was basically stabilized. Thus, Chael had a brand new office, where the shadows at his feet automatically prepared black tea and small cakes for him, and newspapers from the Backlund Daily were spread out on the table.
"I can finally live a simple life like an ordinary nobleman."
What kind of life did he live in the Kingdom of Constant in the Fourth Age? Everything he wore, ate, lived in, and traveled was of the highest quality; there was basically nothing the Church of the Earth couldn't produce.
The kingdom was incredibly feudal in its feudal parts and incredibly open in its open parts, with no shortage of elves, druids, vampires, witches, and all sorts of other creatures.
Arodes, for some unknown reason, had a real desire to act, taking his role as a butler seriously and trying to make his presence felt every day, like he was clocking in and out. If he hadn't been given a beating by Lightning, he would have been completely out of his mind.
Chael opened the newspaper in his hand, learning about the latest news from Backlund.
Prince Edsack of Loen has aligned himself with the New Party and begun to follow the Conservative Party, primarily by subtly opposing the Loen royal family.
A series of reforms were proposed, and although they certainly were not passed in the cabinet meetings, the news appeared in the newspapers.
This was certainly influenced by Chael as well.
The Ruhnn royal family, which appears to be a conservative party, actually wants to support reform.
However, they could not act openly, especially George III, who could not openly concede. According to the royal family's original plan, once the Backlund smog occurred, Prince Edsac conspired with the witch's cult to commit suicide, and the Loen royal family would be tainted. In order to quell the matter, they had no choice but to make concessions.
Now, as the third prince and a member of the royal family, regardless of whether he is vying for the throne with the eldest prince or not, Edsack has started to directly oppose the Conservative Party, or to collud with some members of the New Party, and to start contacting some members of parliament with church backgrounds, such as those from the Steam Church.
George III's two sons, the eldest and the third prince, are already planning to "fight it out".
