ffin lid creaked open slowly, and a frigid air escaped, like the abyss of an ancient glacier.The cold seemed about to freeze all life within the cellar, and then, slowly, from the cold, a hand, eroded...Chapter 276: Lan Qi brought out her playful side.
Lanche patted the cat boss again. {The updated chapters are the most complete and comprehensive, with error correction being the most timely. Due to caching reasons, it is recommended to browse the official website}
He feels the cat boss needs comforting right now.
"If I accept it, what else can I get"
Lan Qi looked at this pink sacred-level Overlord's Seal, and after a moment, he didn't accept or refuse, he just asked.
Besides having the same basic attributes as the previously obtained [Resurrection Proof-Destruction], the pink sacred-grade [Holy Proof] also has the authority to imprint the highest blue quality Resurrection Proof, allowing it to unilaterally incorporate those it favors into the Overlord branch. This in itself is a considerable power.
But pink sacred-level magic cards are difficult to unbind.
If there was still a possibility of resignation previously, the Heavenly Church should not allow it anymore now.
His treatment was far beyond what could be compared to that of a simple chaplain or his immediate subordinates.
The care given to disciples varies depending on the attitude of each bishop towards them.
Even someone like the destruction mage Ivannos, would give away Destruction Sacred Magic Cards like they were worthless.
Ranche wants to know how much power Sigrid is willing to give him.
After all, when a bishop chooses a saint son or daughter, it is equivalent to choosing an heir or confidante. Correspondingly, the bishop will also invest all resources in cultivating them until one day they are capable of challenging other bishops, even becoming another cardinal with their own independent title.
From ancient times to the present, factionalism and power struggles have always existed among the cardinals within the resurgent Church.
If enough bishops stand on one side, they can even remove the Pope through a vote by [the right of Episcopal testimony] and elect a new Pope from among the bishops.
And the 【Papal Authority】 has a special property against all holders of 【Resurrection Vows】 and 【Bishop Vows**.
Because [Bishop's Testimony] is epic and cannot be unbound.
Under similar power levels, once a Cardinal's [Cardinal's Testimony] evolves into [Papal Authority], the other Cardinals will be no match for him. The new Pope will then completely dominate and govern the resurrected Church.
Each new Pope's ascension is invariably accompanied by a bloodbath, purging those bishops and their factions who were originally hostile or disobedient to him.
Siegfried clearly has ambitions of reaching the position of Pope.
"What I have, you have as well. From today onwards, you will be my confidant and proxy. But in return..."
She didn't say any more because she had already said it once.
Lance, upon hearing this, hesitated slightly.
He never imagined that Sigrid would be willing to give him all the power.
But once you betray her trust, the consequences will be equally severe.
As long as I haven't betrayed you, you need to protect me and can't force me, okay
Randy thought about it and felt that the Dominant Catholic was surprisingly easy to get along with, and working with her wouldn't be bad.
"Naturally."
After Sieglinde confirmed her answer, Ranchi took the [Holy Relic] from her hand and bound it to himself.
Witnessing Lanci officially becoming her holy child, Sieglinde showed a satisfied smile.
"Very good, from today onwards, you are my saint child. Do whatever you wish with my disciples, and if there's anything you need help with, just ask me."
..."
The cat boss has gone completely mad.
It can't accept it.
This kid was still a freshman at Icerite Academy before he left. How did he suddenly become the Overlord Saint Son!
It doesn't want to be resurrected as the "Church of the Living" cat on a wanted poster!
The image of the Pioneer can be allowed to ferment for a while longer in the southwestern province. It needs more mystery, like how the Pioneer changed the disciples of the Overlord Branch, making their image better and better, rather than directly revealing that the Pioneer was originally a member of the Overlord Branch...
Lance has already gotten into character and is telling the Headmaster about his work plan and arrangements.
"Okay, then you go busy yourself at the Protoss Royal Academy of Magic. Come back in five days."
After all, the identity of a pioneer is tied to that of Roger. Siegried knows that keeping Roger on good terms with Lord Francis and his daughter is crucial, and for high-ranking members of the Revivalist Church, having a respectable social standing is also quite important.
After finishing his words, Sigrid took out a secret key engraved with a magic crystal and handed it to Lance.
"What's this"
Here, the key is mostly found here. However, before you come, knock first, don't just enter.
That's the trouble with the Son of God, he doesn't really mind what the Holy Maiden says.
"Understood."
After receiving the key, Lance nodded.
Then I'll continue to go undercover in the Nirvana branch, it should still be in time to report now.
He looked at the wall, where a row of paintings of varying heights hung above a clock, and prepared to leave.
If the Heavenly Church gave him so much power, then he has the freedom to do what he wants. She shouldn't stop him.
"I said it was dangerous."
Siegfried's brows furrowed.
Then you should come with me. As long as you're still turning back into West Germany, we can rush to the Knights of Oblivion Temple together. We might still make it in time.
Lynch nonchalantly said, "At most, they'll just be a little late, but since they're both late, it probably won't get them in trouble."
There is no precedent for a cardinal going undercover in other branches.
Siegfried responded coldly.
It's okay for saints and saintesses to do this kind of thing.
If she, a prominent figure in the Church hierarchy, goes undercover in the Annihilationist sect and gets exposed, she'll be the laughingstock of the bishops from now on.
"You're not undercover, you just can't let go of me. You protect my safety, and I'll provide cover for you, ensuring you won't be discovered."
Lan Qi held the cat and spoke slowly.
The cat boss felt a familiar smell coming back.
He suspected that this kid never gave up from the start, going undercover in the Annihilation branch. Now he even wants to trick the Overlord Church into joining him as undercover agents!
She's not going with you, she just doesn't care about you, right You kid, even a cardinal can be tea-ed!
“……”
Siegfried fell silent.
She wanted to refuse, but she couldn't help but worry about what would happen to him if he went.
After all, he has already accepted the proof of the Son. Staying in the base camp of annihilation and causing trouble would have consequences far more tragic than before if he were discovered.
"Why not just go for it and have some fun Once you reach the top, you'll realize you're always alone, with no one to talk to. The loneliness of winter chills you to the bone. What exactly do you want at the top"
Lanche surveyed the study. It was clear that Sieglinde didn't often invite people here.
Although not as NEET and withdrawn as Talia.
But after her busy days, she could only admire her collection alone. No matter what achievements she made, no one could share this joy with her.
"...."
Siegfried found Lance's words quite interesting. She crossed her arms, her fingertips lightly tapping as she gazed at Lance.
"Do you understand this feeling"
Of course.
Lanci recalled with a smile tinged with melancholy his days as the wielder of lightning at Purgatory Corridor Academy.
But his eyes also seemed to be telling the domineering Catholic that he could help her relieve this boredom, or that being with him would definitely not be boring.
The entire spacious repository was silent for a brief moment.
Baitian Catholic had once again changed back to West Germany, no longer looking so imposing. He was still dashing and exquisitely handsome, but his cold demeanor now had a hint of vivacity.
"Let's go. I'll say it upfront: from now on, I am a fourth-order knight. Neither strong nor weak, just your partner. I will only use my true power if you are in mortal danger. But once you need me to save your life, consider it your job poorly done, and you'll have to face some punishment."
What punishment
Lance didn't expect West to be more active than him, and even proactively proposed rules.
"I won't tell you for now."
West Germany smiled, seeming to also want to play in the Extinction Branch now.
(The End)
