Fortunately, Hongyan was a priest, and her close-combat speed was very slow. Li Huailin happened to be very fast, and Li Huailin managed to parry Hongyan's attack before Hongyan's attack hit Pope Carlo. Li Huailin heaved a sigh of relief after grabbing Hongyan's foot.
"Wow … Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, you grabbed my foot," Hongyan said immediately after drinking water.
"F * ck, do you want to die? Why did you suddenly hit me?" Li Huailin said as he let go of her foot.
"Eh? Didn't you say that we should do it? "Hongyan said while drinking some water.
"I …" Li Huailin held his forehead. "Just because I can do it doesn't mean you can do it, okay?"
"Eh? Why? "Hongyan asked curiously as she drank water.
"Look around," Li Huailin said.
Hongyan took a sip of water and looked to the side. Sure enough, a few people were looking at her in a very unfriendly manner. Although she didn't attack Pope Carlo just now, this unfriendly gesture alerted the people around her.
"Do you understand?" Li Huailin said. "I'm more powerful, so I can pull this guy over and hit him as I please."
As Li Huailin spoke, he pulled Pope Carlo over and slapped him a few times.
"Well done, Duke of Aquitaine. Well done." The people around them quickly came over and cheered, immediately forgetting about Hongyan drinking water.
"See that?" Li Huailin said in a serious tone. "And you aren't that powerful yet, so you can't just hit him."
"Eh … then how can I be as powerful as brother-in-law?" Hongyan asked as she drank water.
"There are differences between people … please don't compare yourself to me, otherwise most people in this world won't be able to survive …" Li Huailin said.
"Sigh …" Hongyan tilted her head in disappointment while drinking water. But after a while, she thought it through and said, "Forget it. Anyway, it doesn't matter if brother-in-law is powerful."
"It's good that you understand. Don't mess around anymore, or I'll send you back," Li Huailin said.
"Oh." Hongyan drank the water and nodded.
"Yes." Li Huailin turned to look at Pope Carlo, who was still being held by him, and asked, "Um, where were we just now?"
"Your Highness Duke of Aquitaine, if you keep taking care of me like this, I'm a little embarrassed." On the other side, Pope Carlo was also slightly touched. His Favorability Level had risen to the limit. "By the way, I heard that the Duke of Aquitaine wants to join our Church of Light?"
"Oh, yes, yes, yes." Li Huailin said, "That's right. I want to join the Church of Light. Of course, if I do well, I hope to become the person in charge of the human side of the Church of Light. In other words, I want to be the archbishop of the human church district."
"Eh?" The people around them were slightly stunned. The one who had the biggest reaction was not Pope Carlo, but Degusby, who was next to him. This was because Degusby was now the archbishop of the Human Race. Wasn't this stealing his job?
"Oh?" This was also the first time Pope Carlo heard Li Huailin mention this matter. Previously, he only heard that Li Huailin wanted to join the Church of Light, but his goal was actually to be the person in charge of the human side. Pope Carlo thought for a while. The human side was the largest stronghold of the Church of Light because the number of human believers of the God of Light was the largest. Naturally, this position needed to be filled by someone he trusted. Could the Duke of Aquitaine be trusted? Pope Carlo nodded. Of course, he could be trusted. His loyalty to the Church of Light was unquestionable. He could even slap the Pope on the spot. He was simply the most loyal believer of the Church of Light. However, trust was one problem, and the other was the ability.
"Originally, I wanted His Excellency the Duke of Aquitaine to be the honorary bishop of the Church of Light. I didn't expect His Excellency the Duke to want to do something practical for the Church." Pope Carlo nodded. "But the human bishop is the most important position in the Church of Light. Even if I wanted His Excellency the Duke to take the position, the Church's parliament might not agree."
"The Church also has a parliament," Li Huailin said. "Aren't you the one who has the final say?"
"Of course there is a parliament," Pope Carlo said. "Although I am the Pope, such an important matter still needs to be approved by the parliament before it can be implemented. But His Excellency the Duke, there is an opportunity here."
"Ah? What opportunity? "Li Huailin asked.
"In fact, Bishop Drusby has just caused us some trouble. To be honest, I am considering proposing to the parliament to cancel his bishop's qualifications," Pope Carlo said. Drusby, who was beside him, also lowered his head.
"Eh?" Li Huailin was slightly stunned. "About the human rebels?"
"No, the human rebels are just a small matter," Pope Carlo said. "His Highness Anthony is really too unfriendly to our Church. It doesn't matter if we teach him a lesson."
"Heh …" Li Huailin smiled slightly. Small matter? Not a big matter? Just you wait.
"Drusby's mistake is far more serious. He actually lost the holy relic that our Church wants," Pope Carlo said with a hint of anger.
"Holy relic? What's that? "Li Huailin asked.
"His Excellency the Duke, it's the thing I mentioned to you on the battlefield last time," Drusby said. Degusby said, "Previously, we received accurate information that a stone slab left behind by the God of Light was discovered in a ruin in the north of the Human Empire. This is naturally a sacred relic of the Church of Light. As it appeared in my jurisdiction, I should be in charge of retrieving it. Previously, I wanted to give you the credit for retrieving this sacred relic, but I never had the chance."
"After the matter with the human rebels ended, I had time to deal with this matter. So, I found a few of my best men to retrieve this holy relic. However, I didn't expect that the men I sent would go missing. I was afraid that there might be an accident, so I sent a second group of men to check it out. In the end, I found that the slate had been taken away, but I don't know where my men went. Now, they're nowhere to be found, and I can't find any clues. I have no choice but to come back and report to His Excellency the Pope. It just so happens that you're here to meet His Excellency the Pope. "
After saying that, Drusby knelt on one knee in front of Pope Carlo and said, "His Excellency the Pope, this is indeed my responsibility. I will take responsibility for this matter. No matter what punishment I receive, I will accept it, including resigning from my post as the human empire's bishop."
"Hmm … I'm not the only one who decides your punishment. It still depends on the situation on the Parliament's side," Pope Carlo said. Pope Carlo said, "But I hope you're mentally prepared. This is a very serious mistake."
"Yes, His Excellency the Pope," Drusby said.
"That's how it is." Pope Carlo turned to Li Huailin. "Duke Aquitaine, you just said that you want to become the human empire's bishop. I think this is a way to convince the Parliament, which is to retrieve Drusby's lost holy relic. If you can retrieve it, with this merit, I think it'll be easy to convince the Parliament. "
System Notification: Carlo Greenia has issued an AA-level Hidden Quest: Find the holy relic. Do you accept?
"Huh?" Hongyan gasped as she drank water. Since she was in a party with Li Huailin, she naturally received the quest notification. "Brother-in-law, it's an AA-level Hidden Quest."
"I saw it. Don't accept it yet." Li Huailin turned to Pope Carlo and asked, "Can this quest be completed in a party?"
"Of course, it's not a problem for His Excellency the Duke to find some helpers. The important thing is to bring the stone tablet back safely," Pope Carlo said immediately.
"To be on the safe side, let's gather the five-man party first," Li Huailin said.
"Hmm, then I'll look for Sister Yueyue," Hongyan said as she drank water. "That's great, I can do a quest with brother-in-law again."
After speaking, Hongyan drank water and contacted Red Moon. The two chatted for a while, and then Hongyan came back from drinking water. "Brother-in-law … Sister Yueyue just gathered the people to start building the guild territory. She doesn't have time now …"
"I can only look for that group of people again …" Li Huailin facepalmed. He did not know many people on his side, and all he could ask for were the jokers. Of course, the first person he contacted was the most reliable, Feng Yiliu.
"I have a match today." Feng Yiliu said, "It'll start in a while. You can call for Millennium. He's off today."
The most reliable guy couldn't come. Li Huailin had no choice but to contact Everlasting Immutable. As Millennium Unchanged still owed Li Huailin a favor (due to the Epic bow incident from last time), although he was currently leveling up, he immediately agreed and said that he would come over immediately.
The next person he contacted was naturally the second most reliable Jade Summoner in the team. He did not expect Jade Summoner to have a match today.
"I'm not like you. You're banned from taking a break. You should look for Anran. She doesn't have a match today." Jade Summoner recommended Anran.
Li Huailin browsed through his friend list and in the end, he could only ask for An Ran's help. Li Huailin agreed very easily. He felt that An Ran would always be free no matter how he asked. Li Huailin didn't know why.
"Two Clerics … A four-man party … All of them are jokers … Why do I feel like my team is getting more and more brutal …" After forming the team, Li Huailin could not help but hold his forehead. "I have a bad feeling …"
