The fact that the Godsfall cult did not have the power to set up an empire-level formation was good news. This meant that they were not as powerful as the Ancient Rohlserlian Empire. However, they still managed to set up a barrier that covered an entire city. Baiyi had even destroyed one of the nodes of the barrier in advance and informed the Church of the situation. Yet, they still managed to succeed. The Church was truly a weakling.
Even though they had been notified in advance, they were still not prepared. Their internal structure had been infiltrated into a sieve, and the important internal supervisory structure had been completely controlled by someone else. Even the main forces had been toyed with by someone else. The performance of the Church in this battle was indeed at the level of a pig teammate. It was probably because they were too strong and too confident that no one could threaten them for a long time. It had been a long time since they had faced such a situation. They did not even think about how to deal with it.
Therefore, when Grunewald heard Baiyi's words, he naturally thought that Baiyi was mocking the Church. His face flushed red, but he could not retort. He could only force himself to say, "We do have a very serious problem in our internal structure. We will clean it up as soon as possible while we attack the Godsfall cult."
"Be careful of the Templar Fort," Baiyi reminded. Baiyi reminded kindly. He did not want to clean up the Church's mess anymore. "They've even handed over such an important chess piece like Rodhart. I'm afraid they won't let this go easily."
"Please don't worry. The Templar Fort is the throat of the entire continent. It will be impregnable," Grunewald said confidently. "We are trying to analyze the structure of their barrier. The Sorcerers Association and the Door of Conundrum have joined us. I believe we will be able to crack it soon. When that time comes, we will be able to set up the corresponding monitoring system in every corner of the Templar Fort. This trick of teleporting demons from the back will soon be ineffective."
"That's good. That's good." Baiyi nodded. In his heart, however, he was thinking, 'What am I going to do after you guys crack it? How am I supposed to do whatever I want? '
However, they had no other choice. The Godsfall cult's strategy of ambushing them from behind was a strategy that they had to guard against. This time, they only planned to resurrect Thaas. If they did the same thing to the Holy City of Canningham, the consequences would be dire.
Who knew how many more spies they had hidden outside? This time, they were willing to hand over Rodhart, who had the potential to become the Pope, just to resurrect one of their partners. How many more powerful Godsfall cultists were there in other places? Just the thought of it was scary. The higher-ups of the Church must have been so nervous that they could not sleep well.
Baiyi was aware of this, but he would not reveal it. He would let the Church deal with it on their own.
"By the way, Master Hope, we have prepared some gifts for you as well. Please accept them," The Grand Paladin Commander quickly changed the topic and pushed the five storage pouches towards Baiyi.
This incident was different from the previous one. They would feel bad if they did not offer a reward. However, Baiyi was not in a hurry to accept the reward. Instead, he looked at Laeticia and asked, "It'll be a while before she becomes a Saintess, right?"
"Two years if it's fast, five years if it's slow." Strictly speaking, this waiting period was considered very short and generous for a saintess-in-training. It was also the church's bottom line. After all, it was normal for saintess-in-training to wait for more than a decade.
"Since there's still so much time, why don't you lend her to me for a while?" Baiyi said. "Let her stay by my side and learn for a while. After all, the inheritance of Saint Joel is not something that can be explained with just a few words."
"This …" Grunewald's expression turned ugly. Baiyi's request was reasonable, but to let a young saintess stay by an unknown person's side was still a difficult thing to do.
Seeing that Grunewald was in a dilemma, Baiyi added, "Cultivation is not about the location. It's about the sincerity of your heart. That's what your scripture says, right? Besides, it's not that quiet in your church right now, is it? Let her stay by my side, away from all the disputes, and focus on her cultivation. She'll lay the foundation for becoming a qualified saintess in the future. Don't worry, I'll definitely teach her to be an excellent saintess. "
'Still, it's hard to say if she'll still be a saintess of the Church of Divine Grace. Plus, there's still the possibility of her becoming a leftover woman …' Baiyi thought to himself.
His words seemed to have moved the Grand Cross Commander even more, so he nodded reluctantly and said, "I understand, the Church has been a little chaotic lately …" As he spoke, he looked at Laeticia, asking for her opinion. "What about you? Are you willing to follow Master Hope in your cultivation? "
Laeticia didn't even need to say anything. Just by looking at her expectant eyes, she knew what her choice was. There were the people she felt closest to here, three exceedingly beautiful people of her age, and a cute doll that could move. Anyone would know what to choose.
"Understood. But you'd better come back with me today. This matter needs to be approved by the higher-ups," Grunewald said in the end. With that, he left with Laeticia.
'She'll be back,' Baiyi said confidently as he watched Laeticia's beautiful figure leave.
He turned around and saw that Attie had already gone to tidy up the new room. Mia and Tisdale were also whispering about the new member who was about to join the Church.
"That girl is so beautiful!" Tisdale whispered. "Sure enough, the teacher brought another beautiful girl home."
"And she's the same age as me. Why …" Mia muttered. She lowered her head and looked at her chest with a look of regret.
"And she seems to like Master a lot. What's the connection between the two of them? "Tisdale's imagination ran wild." Could she be … Master's daughter? Urgh … "Suddenly, a worried expression appeared on her face. It was as if she had triggered an inexplicable sense of danger.
"Eh? Mr. Hope's daughter? Then I … "Mia was about to say something, but she hesitated. She seemed to have thought of something strange as well.
Then, their cheeks were pinched by Baiyi's hands.
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"
"Who told you to let your imagination run wild? Have you finished the homework that I left for you yesterday?" Baiyi asked impatiently. "My daughter is already here. Have you forgotten how old I am?"
"Urgh … I saw that you're so nice to her, Master, so that's why I thought that way," Tisdale quickly explained. Tisdale quickly explained. Mia might not know how old Baiyi was but she definitely knew that Baiyi was at least a thousand years old.
"Am I not nice to you? Do you want to be my daughter? "Baiyi asked again.
The two girls fell silent at the same time.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
"Err …" Baiyi quickly let go of their cheeks and gently rubbed their cheeks. "I didn't mean it that way. Err … It's not what you think."
He had blurted out those words without thinking, so it was inevitable that it would cause some unnecessary misunderstanding between the two girls.
"Ahem, that's it then. Anyway, Laeticia is indeed a student that my friend values. I'm just disciplining her on his behalf. Don't think too much about it. Alright, that's all. I'm going to the lab now. You two have lunch, "Baiyi said and quickly returned to the lab with the Church's gifts.
After he left, the two girls rubbed their faces that he had just rubbed and whispered in unison, "Idiot …"
Baiyi, on the other hand, opened the gift that the Church had given him. His initial anticipation vanished in an instant. He cursed under his breath, "This is so tacky …"
Five storage pouches, three of which were filled with the most tacky yellow and white items. There were about a hundred thousand gold coins in there. It was not a small amount of money, but it was still too tacky.
The other two storage pouches were filled with Theurgical Scrolls, from healing to various blessings to dispelling evil spirits. It was as if Baiyi was carrying a church on his back.
'These things are useless …' Baiyi shook his head. These scrolls were useless to him, so he decided to leave them for the girls to play with. He poured out the scrolls and thought about how to make use of them. In the deepest part of the storage pouch, he found a few white, flawless feathers.
The feathers were crystal clear, so much so that one could clearly see the veins of the feathers. It was as if they were made of light. Baiyi's heart skipped a beat. He knew that they were Angel Feathers.
According to the knowledge of the Voidwalkers, when angels descended to the mortal realm, they would usually take over a human's body. Their backs would grow feathers that were made of light, and when they flew, the feathers would scatter in all directions, just like a certain Gundam. However, the scattered feathers were just light effects, so they could not be touched.
There were only two possibilities for the three materialized feathers in front of them. One was that they had fallen from the angel's main body, which was relatively rare. Their main bodies spent most of their time guarding the sun. The other was that the angel had stayed there for too long, and real feathers had condensed on his back.
But no matter what the situation was, their feathers were extremely precious. Flying and shedding feathers was just a visual effect. How could real feathers be so easy to obtain?
No matter what, the Angel's Feather was an extremely precious material. Although the Church had only given three of them, it was already extremely generous. It was really an injustice to say that they were vulgar.
'I just don't know if these feathers fell from a holy and beautiful female angel or a bearded male angel with thick leg hair … Even though there shouldn't be any difference in terms of performance, it's still easy to affect the appearance …'
