The Monica Cathedral was located in the Holy City of the Country of Saint.
This cathedral named after God was the center of the entire Holy City. The size of the cathedral itself was comparable to that of a town.
In the Monica Cathedral's Holy Light Assembly, four archbishops from the Cardinal Court of the Church sat on the benches of the assembly.
This was a meeting hall that could accommodate hundreds of people, but only four archbishops were present today. One of them was from the Heretics Court, and the other was from the Holy Army.
The entire meeting hall was filled with an indescribably depressing atmosphere, which was quickly broken by the door of the meeting hall being pushed open.
"Bishop Meyerg, I've finally found you. I heard that Cheryl defected from the Heretics Court. What's going on?"
The person who pushed open the door was a woman in a nun's uniform. But she wasn't an ordinary nun. She was the only Saintess of the Church … Heroria.
"It's our Heretics Court's oversight that allowed her to escape. The court will punish that traitor as soon as possible."
Bishop Meyerg stood up and bowed humbly to Saintess Heroria.
In the Country of Saint, the Saintess wasn't just a symbolic profession. She represented the person who transmitted the power of God. Heroria was blessed by the Holy Light since she was born.
After receiving the blessing of Heroria's song, any Holy Army member's fatigue and injuries would be healed, and their power would be slightly increased.
Therefore, Saintess Heroria's status in the Country of Saint was second only to the Pope. Even the archbishops of the Cardinal Court had to bow to her when they saw her.
"I only care about Cheryl and the reason why she defected."
Heroria's pale golden pupils stared at the archbishops sitting on the bench.
The power of the Holy Light that constantly surged out of her body suppressed the aging of Heroria's body. Although Heroria was already over a hundred years old, she still looked like she was in her twenties. Not only her age, but her mentality was also the same.
Time seemed to slow down for her. Cheryl was a nun who had once served her and was also the one that Heroria liked the most.
After joining the Court of Heresy, she obtained the power of the Grey Fog, which fixed her appearance at an extremely young age.
"Aren't judges unable to leave the Holy City for too long? I want to know why Cheryl would risk her life to betray the church. "
Heroria tried to get some answers from the archbishop from the Court of Heresy.
Even within the Country of Saint, the Court of Heresy was a mysterious organization, including how the Nephilic Judges were born and what kind of power they used.
Only the three bishops of the Court of Heresy and the Pope knew about this.
The four archbishops looked at each other in the face of Heroria's question. In the end, Bishop Meyerg of the Court of Heresy stood up.
"The purpose of this meeting is to discuss the reason for the betrayer's betrayal. Saintess Heroria … You can listen from the side," Bishop Meyerg said.
There was a row of seats arranged for the audience at the back of the hall, but Heroria was the only audience member in the entire hall.
Heroria cooperated and sat at the front row of the audience.
This meeting was destined to be the precursor of a war. After all, the bishops from the Holy Army and the bishops from the Court of Heresy were sitting together, and the content of the discussion was definitely not trivial matters such as' the construction and maintenance of churches in various cities'.
"Everyone, a demon is hiding in Noland. The Court of Heresy had sent four judges to hunt down this demon, but we underestimated the extent of its danger … Three of the four judges have returned to the embrace of God, and the last one … is Sister Cheryl. She was bewitched by the demon and chose to betray the teachings of God. This is a heavy blow to us."
Bishop Meyerg hid the fact that the three judges who were sent to hunt down Cheryl had yet to return. He only focused on describing the danger of the demon.
"Allow me to interrupt, Bishop Meyerg. I don't think Cheryl would be so easily bewitched by the demon. She should know the consequences of the judges leaving the holy city."
As an audience member, Heroria did not have the self-awareness of a listener at all. She began to question the words of the Court of Heresy.
A small portion of the judges were so loyal to the church not because of their strong faith, but because the church had tied an invisible 'chain' around their necks. The day the 'chain' broke would be the day they died.
"According to the information brought back by the judges, the demon has a special method to make people fall … At least, it's a method that has never been recorded in the Gray Scriptures."
Bishop Meyerg gave an explanation, but Saintess Heroria still looked like she did not believe him.
"This time, the council has invited a priest and a missionary who have been working in Norland for a long time. Please listen to what they have seen."
In order to convince the other three bishops and Saintess Heroria, Bishop Meyerg had already prepared evidence about the danger of the demon.
The door of the meeting hall was pushed open again, and a priest and a priest from Nolan walked into the meeting hall.
The missionary was the one who was Messiah's adjutant in Noland. When the teleportation circle in Noland was activated, he received the order to return to the holy city.
The adjutant did not know whether it was lucky or not, because he also returned to the holy city with a primordial crystal that recorded the movie 'Beauty and the Demon'.
During the fan meeting for 'Beauty and the Demon', Josiah selected a few lucky people and gave them the primordial crystal that recorded the movie. Of course, it was a non-reproducible version.
It was equivalent to a Blu-ray DVD.
Of course, there was a reason for the gift this time. For example, the adjutant from the Kingdom of Saint did not get the primordial crystal by luck.
As a fan of Belle in 'Beauty and the Demon', the adjutant knew that Belle was a demon, but he still kept the primordial crystal.
Until yesterday, the priest who supervised the church ordered him to bring the primordial crystal back to the holy city.
At this moment, the adjutant walked into the meeting hall with a heavy box in his hand. The primordial crystal that was squeezed in the 'Beauty and the Demon's' image was inside the box.
The church's supervisor thought that this was an item made by a demon, and it was an evil existence that needed to be purified. Therefore, when the adjutant arrived at the holy city, he threw the primordial crystal into the stone box with layers of seals.
The adjutant thought that even after this meeting, he might not be able to get the primordial crystal back. It was very likely that the church would treat it as an evil object and get rid of it.
