In the past, the Church had only been facing pressure from Hope and the other Voidwalkers, but after this battle, the Church had no choice but to pay attention to the other minions.
Saint Joel had single-handedly suppressed Saint Jonah, whose mastery of the Word of God had reached the pinnacle. Grand Knight Hantae had single-handedly taken out more than 20 paladins with a hammer. The Pope could not understand how these two, who had completely sided with the demons, could still use holy power and Word of God.
Aside from the two most troublesome characters, the rest were not just a bunch of rabble. The ones who stood out in the open were the idol of many mages, the Sage-Emperor of the Magi, the legendary first demigod, the inventor of the Soul Armature, Cyferos, and the Blood Overlord who caused the Holy City of Canningham to be burned for three days and three nights in history, the archenemy of the church.
Each of them was harder to deal with than the last. The Pope would not be surprised if a dragon, a lich, or even a former candidate for the Pope appeared. He even felt like he was fighting against the entire human race.
"Power! We need more power!" The Pope exclaimed in a low voice. He summoned his personal attendant and ordered, "Inform the others to speed up the process of summoning angels. We need more powerful angels, even if we have to bow down to the Sorcerer's Association. Also, recruit more paladins and crusaders. Relax the selection criteria for the paladins …"
The Pope's orders showed his determination to fight evil to the very end.
But what did the low-ranking believers of the Church think of it?
The Captain, who had participated in the Special Operations, sat alone in a quiet bar with a glass of tasteless ale and a few pieces of roasted meat in front of him. He did not like the taste, but the bars in Canningham only sold such things. The Church's teachings did not forbid alcohol, but hangovers were considered a sin.
Beside him sat a female priest. She was a young and beautiful girl with long chestnut-colored hair. She was the squad leader's lover, and she was asking him about the results of the operation.
"What did you do to Mr. Hope, you bunch of brutes?" The priest asked anxiously. She had asked this question several times, but her boyfriend never mentioned anything about the quest. Instead, he reminded her, "Be careful. He is now our enemy."
"But he saved my life. He saved yours. He saved the lives of many others. Without him, you and I would have died in the Ancient Rohlserlian emperor's trap." The priest said unhappily, "The scriptures teach us to be grateful, but you're pointing your sword at your savior?!"
When the f * ck did I point my sword at him? It's because of this that I didn't participate in the siege from the beginning to the end, okay? In the end, he was knocked out with a hammer before he could even look him in the face … The captain cried helplessly in his heart, but because of the confidentiality rules, he could only say these things in his heart.
It turned out that the two of them had participated in the Book of Servitude Quest, and they had been trapped in the mysterious dimension. Then, they had been fooled by Baiyi's acting. The priest girl was one of Baiyi's first fans. Ten years ago, the captain had not even entered the Paladin Order; he was just an ordinary crusader.
The two of them were Baiyi's first fans in the Church. Later on, the two of them broke up, and the believers, who thought that they had received a favor from Baiyi, were in a dilemma.
The mission was a complete failure, and his girlfriend was so hard to deal with. She was not understanding at all, and this made the captain very angry. Suddenly, Saint Jonah appeared in front of him.
After a simple greeting, the three of them sat down at the same table. Jonah did not care that there was a third person in the room. He said, "I've asked the Pope, but he did not give me a satisfactory answer. Judging from his reaction, though, I think our theory is correct …"
The captain was speechless. After a while, he asked in a low voice, "Were they really Lord Joel and Lord Hantae? Did we … make enemies out of people like them? "
"I think so. You've been fighting against your childhood idol," Jonah said. "I, on the other hand, had a contest of Divine Arts with my idol, but he never treated me as an opponent …" Jonah said with some mischief.
"What are you guys talking about? Why are you suddenly talking about the Church's legendary heroes? " The priest girl asked in confusion, but the captain did not answer. Instead, he reached out and pressed her head violently, pressing her face into a plate of macaroni in front of him …
"Ugh! You bastard!" The priest girl cursed. Embarrassed and angry, she ran off to wash her face. When she was gone, the captain lowered his voice and asked, "What should we do from now on?"
"You didn't have to send her away. We should have let more people know the truth," Jonah replied in a low voice.
Soon, the Pope would have one more headache to deal with.
This was exactly what Baiyi wanted, which was why he had sent the Two Gentlemen of Religion to fight the Church.
Right now, however, Baiyi did not care about what would happen next. Instead, he focused his attention on the new angel, Noirciel.
As planned, Baiyi carried Noirciel back to his mansion in Arfin City. Laeticia and a group of students from the Academy of Theology were already waiting for them there. They had formed a fake choir, and they had prepared a small welcoming ceremony for Noirciel. Laeticia, who still retained her title of Saintess, knelt on one knee and humbly welcomed Noirciel.
When Noirciel saw this scene, although she didn't say anything, her face showed a gratified expression. It seemed that her state of mind wasn't as calm as she pretended to be before. She still cared a little about these ostentatious scenes?
The Kitty Cat Maid, Attie, who had just cleaned up the old mansion, was standing at the door, looking at the angel curiously. Noirciel, on the other hand, was even more surprised when she saw Attie. "Bella's apostle? Why is she here? And why is she dressed like this? "Attie gave Baiyi a questioning look. 'What the f * ck?
Who the f * ck is Bella? The War God? ' Baiyi felt helpless, but he did not show it on his face and invited Noirciel in.
After they were seated in the living room, Attie moved closer to Noirciel and looked at her curiously. She seemed to be very interested in Noirciel's beautiful silver hair, so much so that she rudely reached out to touch it.
"Please don't do this …" Noirciel dodged in a panic.
"How old are you? Why are you so shy?" Attie moved even closer to Baiyi. "I don't think you know anything."
Baiyi pulled Attie back and said, "Behave yourself. Learn from Laeticia."
Laeticia followed Noirciel into the house, but she did not dare to sit down, let alone get close to Noirciel. Laeticia was wearing the sexy armor of the Saintess, and she held the holy flag in her hand. She stood in the corner of the living room like a spear, and her expression was solemn like never before.
She really thought of Noirciel as an angel.
"She looks a lot like us, though. You're also short, but your chest … "Attie mumbled as he was lifted into the air. He then glanced at Noirciel's plain chest and continued," You're the type that we can be friends with! "
'Do you judge a friend based on their physical development? No wonder you're not close to Vidomina. What's wrong with your worldview? What a failure of education! '
Baiyi turned to Laeticia and asked, "Where's the others? Why aren't they here? "
"They still have classes. They'll be here after school," Laeticia replied respectfully, looking like an obedient little girl.
Noirciel, on the other hand, could not suppress her curiosity. She looked at Baiyi, who was playing with Attie like a kitten, and asked, "Why do you have Bella's apostles by your side? Lady Bella has not appeared in the Divine Realm for a long time, just like Lord Nehemiah. And yet, here in the mortal realm, you have two apostles … "
Noirciel seemed to have fallen into a state of confusion. She subconsciously hugged her head, as if she was in a difficult position.
'Hey, idiot, stop thinking!' Baiyi cursed inwardly. He put Attie down and gestured for her to prepare some desserts. "Why don't we grab some snacks before the banquet?"
Noirciel was freed from her previous dilemma. She shook her head vigorously and said, "I can't eat human food. I'll fall!"
"You can't eat? But someone else can feed you passively, can't they? "Baiyi asked, pushing his luck.
"Well … I think …" Noirciel said. Suddenly, she caught a whiff of something delicious. She turned her head and saw Attie walking towards them with a plate of freshly baked animal biscuits. The plate was filled with all kinds of animal biscuits. They were golden and crispy, and they looked very cute. Any normal girl would not be able to take their eyes off the biscuits.
"Lady Noirciel can't eat on her own, so I'll leave it to you, Attie," Baiyi instructed. After that, he turned to Noirciel and asked, "Since she's Bella's Apostle, she represents Bella. You won't reject Bella's goodwill, will you?"
Hearing such a tempting order, Attie immediately picked out a bear biscuit from the plate, but did not directly hand it to Noirciel. Instead, she blushed and took a small bite of the biscuit, moving her face closer to Noirciel.
"Eh?! Please … Please don't do this … "Noirciel screamed.
