Audura led Tang En and the others to a plaza. He then got off the Drake and walked to the side of the car. He said to Tang En, "Up ahead is the cathedral of the Fire God Vatican. From here on out, to show our respect to the Fire God, please follow me on foot."
"No problem."
Tang En gestured for Vanilla and Coco to get off the car. He then gestured for Angus to act according to their previous plan. However, just as Angus was about to start the car, Elijah chuckled and rushed over to Tang En's side. She clearly didn't want to follow Angus.
Xiao Ai looked at Tang En with teary eyes. She wanted to follow, but the car door was locked. She could only watch as Tang En went further and further away.
Audura stared blankly at the departing convoy. "Where are they going?"
Tang En rubbed Elijah's little head helplessly. He then smiled and said, "Oh, it's their first time here, so they want to visit Bul-Kathos. As for the reward, I'll go alone."
Vanilla rolled his eyes. This guy's ability to lie through his teeth is getting better and better.
Coco, who was beside him, noticed Vanilla's expression. She was very surprised and looked at Tang En a few times.
In her impression, her twin sister had always been a person of few words. She always wanted to fight for the position of the elder sister with a mature and prudent look. She usually didn't even have the interest to talk, much less roll her eyes.
However, in these few days of interaction, Coco found that her sister always had a habit of showing a variety of expressions in front of this human. She rolled her eyes, looked at him with disdain, pouted her lips, and occasionally ridiculed him with sarcastic remarks.
Coco's heart was filled with disgust. What kind of things did her sister come into contact with in the past year?
However, although she showed some strange emotions, it was still better than being expressionless.
Audura gave Lowell a look. Lowell understood and left with the other Red Lotus Knights. In reality, they were going to keep an eye on Angus and the others.
No matter how much he trusted them, this was the capital. If they were to cause trouble here, the Red Lotus Knights who brought them into the city would have to take responsibility.
"Everyone, this way please."
Odora didn't explain anything and directly led Tang En and the others into the church.
"Commander Odura is back!"
"Leader — — Holy, Holy, Holy, Holy Maiden! It's the Holy Maiden! "
"Commander Odula successfully rescued the Saintess?! Fire God above, this is a rare piece of good news! "
"His Holiness the Pope will definitely be very happy. Hurry up and inform His Holiness!"
A priest trembled as he pointed at Vanilla and said, "No, no! I, I mean, Her Holiness Saintess Vanilla! "
"Her Holiness Saintess Vanilla has returned!"
"Fire God above! What's going on today?! "
After seeing Vanilla, the group of clergymen almost went crazy with excitement. For a moment, the entire Fire God Church was restless. Every clergyman who received the news ran and quickly spread the news. Some even ran to the top of the tower and rang the bell to convey the good news.
The Pope of the Fire God Church, Ymir XXIII, was praying in a quiet room. He was in a bad mood recently.
When he received news that a large number of demons had suddenly appeared in the Irus Empire, Ymir was still considering whether to send the Red Lotus Knights to the Irus Empire for assistance. However, the matter of the Shamans had disrupted his plans. He had no choice but to send all his forces to rescue Her Holiness Coco.
Before the Saintess was rescued, news had spread that the Radiant Church's Paladins had upgraded their weapons. The Paladins had been equipped with good equipment that made people green with envy!
The battle line that was originally in a stalemate with the demons had now completely stabilized after they obtained the equipment. Now, they were completely using it as a training ground!
Equipment! It was all because of that batch of good equipment!
Ymir was green with envy!
The Fire God Church was poor!
The combined wealth of the Church of the Water Goddess, the Church of the Earth Goddess, the Church of the Fire God, and the Church of the Light God was nothing compared to the Church of the Wind God. After all, they were the protectors of merchants.
Among these churches, the followers of the Goddess of Water were mainly Nagas and sailors. They could protect the navigation of ships and bring health and joy, so the range of followers was very wide.
Most of the followers of the Goddess of Earth were elves and dwarves. However, there were also some human merchants who found another way. In order to do business with the elves and dwarves, they did everything possible to join the Goddess of Earth. Therefore, they obtained a large number of specialties to sell.
The income of the Church of the Water Goddess and the Church of the Earth Goddess wasn't much, but these two churches weren't keen on developing their followers, nor were they interested in expanding their sphere of influence. The things their followers needed were self-sufficient, so they spent very little. Over the years, they had accumulated a considerable amount of wealth.
It was only the Radiant Church and the Fire God Church. Yes, only these two churches were the most miserable.
The Radiant Church considered itself as the leader of the faith in the human countries. In order to maintain this position, the Radiant Church spent a large amount of money every year to build churches and develop low-level priests and priests to preach. At the same time, they also had to adopt a large number of orphans to train them into Holy Knights. All of this cost money!
Originally, the Radiant Church and the Irus Empire relied on each other and supported each other. Their days were quite comfortable. However, with the division of the Empire, the Radiant Church's days became more and more difficult. This was also the reason why Jesolini XXIII was so enthusiastic every time he saw Tang En. The title of Tang En's Child of Wealth had long been spread among the upper echelons of the Irus Empire.
What about the Fire God Church?
Kalomariv, the patron saint of orcs, war, and warriors, was even more miserable.
First of all, he was the patron saint of war and warriors. However, it was now an era of peace. Without war, there was no room for him to play.
Secondly, he was the patron saint of warriors. However, everyone knew that compared to the mighty mages, warriors were commonly known as "losers." They were all poor.
Most warriors had to become mercenaries in order to make money. As adventurers, they went to explore ruins or beast lairs in search of opportunities to make a fortune. However, one could imagine the dangers involved. The mortality rate was high. Even if they came back alive, the money they earned would be used as compensation for their comrades. How much money could fall into their own hands?
Lastly, and most importantly, Kalomariv was the creator and patron saint of orcs.
The orcs of the Ryan Empire were a large group with a rather awkward status. They included a considerable number of subspecies, but this was not the point. The point was that the orcs and humans were once enemies.
Therefore, even human warriors rarely chose to believe in Kalomariv.
Humans now occupied the dominant position in Prandal. After the invasion of Chaos, the orcs and humans reached a consensus and settled down in a corner.
But this was not the cruelest thing. To make matters worse, even in the Ryan Empire, many orcs did not believe in him. Instead, they were brainwashed into non-believers by the shamans.
Kalomariv had already lost a large number of believers in the human race. Now, he had lost a part of the believers in his own creation. How many people in the poor Ryan Empire could still believe in him?
As a result, although the Fire God Church was well-known, and the comprehensive combat power of the Red Lotus Knights was also among the best, the number of believers was almost the least. They were on an equal footing with the Church of the Goddess of Water. In the ranking of wealth, the Fire God Church was directly at the bottom.
Therefore, because of all the above reasons, the Radiant Church and the Fire God Church had always regarded themselves as brothers in distress.
But! Yes!
Now the situation is different!
Now you (the Radiant Church) have secretly become rich, and you didn't even tell me (the Fire God Church). That's not good enough!
Have you (the Radiant Church) forgotten the promise of not forgetting each other when you become rich?!
Ymir, who was sitting in meditation and praying, trembled. He took a few deep breaths, and the burning torches around him swayed because of this.
After he managed to control his emotions with great difficulty, "Dong — Dong — Dong — Dong — Dong!" The sound of the bell suddenly echoed into the quiet room.
"Swoosh!"
Ymir suddenly opened his eyes and was stunned. "Three long and one short. Good news? What's going on? "
Ymir was startled, and a surprised expression suddenly appeared on his face. "Could it be that Odura and the others are back? So fast? It shouldn't be! "
Previously, he had received information that more than 100,000 Shamans had gathered at Gorgon Crater. Even if all 5,000 elites of the Red Lotus Knights were sent to launch a surprise attack, it would not be so fast!
There were more than 100,000 Shamans, and even if they lined up to kill them, it would take a few days!
Thinking of this, Ymir hurriedly got up and apologized to the Fire God statue in front of the quiet room. He ended his prayers early and hurriedly left the quiet room.
A red-robed priest ran over with a happy face. "Your Holiness the Pope! Good news! "
"What happened?"
"Good news! Her Holiness Saintess Coco has been rescued! "
Ymir was overjoyed. "That's great! Commander Odura did not let me down! "
"Not only that, Her Holiness Saintess Vanilla has also returned!"
"What!?"
Ymir's face stiffened, and he was shocked. "Her Holiness Saintess Vanilla!? Are you sure!? "
"Of course! They are now waiting for you with Commander Odura! "
"I'll go now!"
Ymir was shocked and doubtful, and he immediately went to the guest room.
When Ymir stepped into the guest room, he saw Vanilla standing up and pouring tea for Tang En.
Vanilla!
It's really Vanilla!
How is this possible!
Hasn't she already been killed!?
Ymir looked at Vanilla in bewilderment, a faint red light in his eyes.
It was not an illusion, and there was no illusion. It was the real Her Holiness Saintess Vanilla!
Coco looked meaningfully at Vanilla pouring tea for Tang En with a natural expression. At this moment, she saw Ymir and stood up and nodded. "Your Holiness the Pope."
"Her Holiness Saintess Coco."
Ymir returned the greeting, but his gaze fell on Vanilla.
Vanilla revealed a faint smile. "Your Holiness the Pope, I'm back."
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back …"
Ymir muttered to himself, his eyes full of shock.
If Vanilla was not dead, that meant that there was a problem with the person who had given him this information …
