Backlund.
Here at St. Samuel's Cathedral.
Inside the Gates of Charnis, in a locked room.
Trapped here, huddled in the shadows, Xia'er noticed that the hermit's digestion progress had increased.
Well, how should I put it?
He did not think the Church of the Night's actions were excessive.
He even felt they were too lenient, after all, heretics were more hateful than pagans, and they were only choosing to imprison them for protection.
"It would have been perfectly fine to just focus on developing the church honestly."
But I just couldn't resist.
After all, the Church clearly possessed great power, was more enlightened in its thinking, and paid more attention to people's livelihood than the nobility.
But they don't participate in the governance of the country, which is a waste. The church may have played a role in restraining the royal family, but they didn't hold back the ordinary nobles.
Chael is a young man with devout faith.
A well-educated young clergyman who has witnessed the hardships of life among the lower-class believers and the extravagance and cruelty of the aristocracy.
He will certainly have the courage to speak out.
"I did nothing wrong."
This is what Chael said to Daly.
"You may not be wrong, but you shouldn't have said it, at least not in front of the archbishop, and you certainly shouldn't have mentioned His Holiness the Pope."
Dai Li said with a bit of a headache.
She had initially thought that if she hadn't met Dunn, she might have liked this type of guy.
Now she realizes she was terribly wrong; a mature man like Dunn is far better. Even if a paranoid like "Chael" is incredibly attractive, he's not a suitable partner—too much of a hassle.
"Sister Dai Li, what did you say?"
"Of course I will tell Archbishop Anthony that he is the highest-ranking official of the Church of the Night in the Diocese of Backlund, and someone I can trust."
"I believe he will understand my thoughts."
"As for His Holiness the Pope?"
"He is an angel recorded in the Book of Night, an agent of the goddess on earth. How could he not patiently listen to the opinions of the goddess's followers?"
Chael was completely absorbed in the worldview he had created, believing that this was how the world should be.
The Church of the Night should also work for the well-being of its members, consider their living conditions, and help them solve their difficulties.
Upon hearing these words, Daly Simone suddenly fell silent. This topic could not be discussed any further; otherwise, she herself would have ended up in here if she hadn't managed to rescue Xia'er.
"Let's talk about other things first."
Dai Li paused for a moment, then the woman's anger flared up instantly. She raised both hands and angrily rubbed the dog's head, saying, "You still have the nerve to call me Sister Dai Li?"
"You actually want to commit suicide under my control?"
Thinking back to how terrified she was, Dai Li felt a surge of anger.
"Sorry, I should have stayed further away."
Chael struggled desperately, but his spirituality was suppressed and he could not escape Daly's agitation. He also realized his mistake and sincerely apologized.
That almost caused Daly psychological trauma was indeed a bit too much.
"You still dare to say that?"
"Believe it or not, even if you die, I can bring your corpse back to life and have you do my laundry and cook for me every day?"
Dai Li almost choked. What did it mean to say "I should die somewhere else"? This only child experienced for the first time how terrible it was to have a "second child" in the family.
"That seems like a good idea too."
"Necromancers and such seem pretty cool."
"I don't mind if you use it occasionally."
"Shael" didn't mind, but in order not to further provoke Daly, he eventually shifted the topic to dirty jokes.
"If you can't find a man in the future, I'll take pity on you."
As he spoke, "Chael" naturally reached out and patted Daly's head.
Dai Li was stunned for a moment. What did she mean by not being able to find a man?
"I think you should stay here and reflect on your actions!"
"Based on my preliminary assessment, your mental health issues have not improved; in fact, they have worsened!"
Daly took a deep breath, turned and left the confinement room, and "reported" Xia'er's situation "truthfully".
Daisy began a lengthy explanation, which, in short, was that the child hadn't said those things intentionally; he had genuinely suffered some emotional trauma.
The night watchmen in charge of the liaison nodded. Of course, they would protect their colleagues. After going through half of the process, a report of "mental instability" was submitted.
Although Daly is not an audience channel, she is a middle sequence medium who can communicate with spirits and use various ritual magic. She said the people inside are crazy, and they really are crazy.
Another day passed.
In the dark, oppressive solitary confinement cell, even time seemed to drag on endlessly.
All that accompanied Shael was darkness and shadow. Although he was suppressed by the Gate of Charnis, Shael could still manipulate shadows and weave some simple patterns. He practiced drawing in his solitary confinement room out of boredom.
Even while he was imprisoned, he did not forget to pray fervently. Although the Goddess of Darkness mostly dealt with things automatically, it did not stop him from harassing her in various ways.
"O Goddess of the Night, more sublime than the stars, more enduring than eternity, you are the Crimson Lord, the Queen of Calamity and Terror, the Lord of Sleep and Silence."
"I firmly believe that my path is correct, my ideas are not wrong, and as the Night Festival said, the gods will protect mortals through calamities."
"God loves the world, and you love us. The church should not only deal with threats from the supernatural world. We have the ability and the obligation to take on more responsibilities."
I have never forgotten your teachings.
"What we bring to believers is a heartfelt and lasting peace that can be experienced even in times of anxiety and unease."
Under the close surveillance of the Church of the Night, Chael would pray devoutly to the Goddess of Night every so often, which made the higher-ups of the St. Samuel Cathedral, who were closely monitoring the situation, feel somewhat...ashamed.
Although the ideas are a bit extreme.
But he's still a good kid.
To put it in extreme terms, perhaps it's also due to the secret methods used by people seeking enlightenment.
The leadership of St. Samuel Cathedral has reached a consensus.
This was simply a devout prospect who understood the Church's good intentions, willingly accepted punishment without complaint, and even absolutely believed in Archbishop Anthony's fair dealings.
So, Chael finally met his mentor, Bishop Elektra.
The bishop entered the solitary confinement room and looked at his students, saying:
"How's your self-reflection going?"
"My considerations are somewhat impractical."
"Our church is not the only one in Ruen."
Xia Er frowned as she looked at her teacher. "I can't be sure what they're thinking, but I think they might not be as open-minded as we are."
"We need to find a way to deal with them!"
