"En … That was just a joke. Please ignore it and pretend you didn't hear it."
Josiah waved his hand, hoping that Heroria wouldn't mind.
This nun was also very good at controlling her emotions. There wasn't a trace of displeasure on her face.
"Then Mr. Josiah … I want to know the real reason. Is the bargaining chip not satisfactory enough?" Heroria didn't intend to give up so easily.
"Of course the bargaining chip is satisfactory. If it was my second sister sitting here, she would definitely agree to your conditions considering the future of the Demon Realm." Josiah put away the smile on his face and looked at the nun expressionlessly. "And I also have some thoughts of accepting it. But even if I agree, do you think the Kingdom of Saint will agree?"
"Those stubborn old guys, I will personally clean them up." When Heroria said that, Misai, who was beside her, wanted to say something, but in the end, she gritted her teeth and held back.
"But what if I help you clean up the higher-ups of the Church? Will I tell the people of the Kingdom of Saint that the demons are actually good neighbors? Or promulgate laws to protect the demons? "
Josiah kept staring at Heroria, but he couldn't read anything from her expression.
This woman was too good at pretending.
"At least … I can stop the war between the Kingdom of Saint and the Demon Realm." Heroria said.
"Do you think a temporary truce can solve the hatred of the Kingdom of Saint's believers towards the demons?"
Josiah's sudden question made Heroria fall into a short contemplation. In the end, Heroria shook her head to answer Josiah.
"This is the reason why I refuse. The existence of the Kingdom of Saint is based on the people's faith in the God of Holy Light. In the faith, the people have already been told that 'the demons are evil'. There is only one way to change the people's view of the demons."
Josiah picked up a raw crystal on the table and held it in his hand.
The fragile Primordial Crystal shattered into pieces and fell from Josiah's palm onto the ground.
"That is to destroy the faith you have built up."
"This is not a simple matter." Heroria's voice finally turned cold.
Her previous power came from the faith of the people of the Holy Kingdom. What Josiah wanted to destroy was tantamount to destroying her hundred years of hard work.
"Of course it's not simple, but I won't give up … I'll let the people of the Holy Church know the true face of your so-called 'God'. I have many methods, and the Weave is just one of them."
Josiah walked all the way to the clothes Heroria had worn on the stage. He picked up the slightly worn-out clothes and threw them to Heroria. Messiah, who was next to Heroria, reached out and caught the clothes first.
"Miss Heroria, why didn't you choose to join me directly? If you desire the people's faith … I can use more effective methods to make the people like you. "
"Lady Rheia."
Messiah couldn't take it anymore. He wanted to leave with the saintess, but Heroria didn't budge. Instead, she took the clothes from Messiah's hand.
"What if I refuse like you?"
Heroria's pupils had turned from brown to gold at some point. Perhaps this was her original pupil color.
The girl standing in front of Josiah was a hundred times more dazzling than the ordinary girl next door on the stage. Of course, there was also the possibility that there was an elk made of light particles standing behind her.
"It's simple … Choose another girl who has the same 'tragic experience' as you and can sing well."
Josiah shrugged, not minding Heroria's exit.
"With the Blackwood Elves? Their singing can't compare to mine. "Heroria guessed who the 'girl' Josiah was talking about was.
"If your singing can't compare, then use your songs. The songs you wrote are going to be outdated soon. Miss Heroria … If you don't believe me, you can go behind the scenes later."
Josiah made an inviting gesture to Heroria, just like he was inviting his dance partner at a ball.
Unfortunately, Messiah stood between Josiah and Heroria. This meant that Heroria couldn't accept Josiah's invitation.
"I'll think about it." Heroria said softly.
"Then if you're tired of the church's high and mighty life, you're always welcome to come back as' Rheia '."
With that, Josiah pushed open the door and left Heroria's lounge. Hiri also followed behind Josiah.
This time, Josiah didn't go directly to the theater where the competition was held. Instead, he went past the contestants' lounge and went to a restaurant deep in the Noland's National Theater. It was used for afternoon tea activities for the actors.
Josiah found a seat in the restaurant and asked the servant to prepare a glass of lemon juice.
"Josiah … May I know the real reason why you rejected that Heroria?"
Hiri put her staff aside and found a seat opposite of Josiah. She asked Josiah.
"The real reason? How did you guess my real thoughts, Hiri? "Josiah's tone was thought-provoking.
"Intuition. I just felt that you, Josiah, would definitely not let go of such a huge Yggdrasil," Hiri said, recalling the huge elk behind Heroria.
"Every time you see the Yggdrasil, your expression is like those dwarves who drew a golden legend."
"Alright, you guessed right, Miss Hiri. I did want to agree to Heroria's request, but I gave up in the end."
Josiah believed that once he reached an agreement with Heroria, the Mana Net would enter the 3G era and even develop a video website.
"Then … why did you reject her?"
"Erm … It's simple. I can't deal with that woman." Josiah confessed in the most sincere tone. "I'm not good at scheming. I feel that every word of that woman called Heroria is a lie. In short, she's a very troublesome person, so the danger of allying with her outweighs the benefits. My sister might be able to handle her, but I'll pass."
"In other words, that woman called Heroria is a b * tch?" Hiri used a very short word to translate Josiah's long speech.
"You can understand it that way. My goal is to develop the entertainment industry in peace, but the threat of the Kingdom of Saints forced me to declare war on them in advance. It's a war of faith."
"So if such a woman comes looking for you in the future, do you need my help?" Hiri asked.
"Of course."
