Chapter 490: Sigrid Prepares to Be a Courier for Once
Mid-May.
The giant kingdom on the southern side of the southern continent’s map, the Krizan Empire, had its capital city, Brilda.
No matter how warm and bright the season made the city-state look, no one realized that deep underground, an ultra-ancient city was slowly awakening.
If permission is granted in the underworld, it is possible to traverse the long, dark road that leads straight to the deepest black palace.
Inside the palace, a figure walked, leaving a rather rhythmic sound of steps on the carpet.
He wore a dark green Research Scholar’s gown and a bowler hat, his hair and beard were organized and he looked gentle and elegant, as if he had never experienced a battle.
The dimly lit lamp in his hand cast deep shadows on and around him.
Until he came to the great black iron door of the council chamber and pushed it open.
The magnificent council chamber was dimly lit, with candles around the edges replacing the lights, and a towering roof that looked as if it touched the heavens, with the end of the carpet occupied by a banquet table dozens of meters long, flanked on each side by high-backed chairs that were like thrones, with jeweled totems inscribed at the tops that corresponded with the owners of the chairs.
As far as the eye could see, there were only two figures sitting on the seventh and eighth high-backed chairs waiting in the main hall.
They both looked at the visitor-
“Decaying Bishop Farmer.”
The Marquis of Heritier on the seventh high-backed chair spoke in her cool voice.
“I have completed your commission.”
The man in the dark green dress opened his suitcase and gently placed a sealed test tube on the table.
Even though it was just a simple action, both of them made the two Blood Marquises much more alert, that was the omen that they would make a move whenever they saw Farmer act in a half-dangerous manner.
The motionless test tube contained terrifying alchemical creatures, if Farmer broke it in the palace, I’m afraid that the palace would also suffer a lot of damage.
A few moments later.
Marquis Heritier gently raised her hand and took the test tube into her hands, then nodded.
“We will fulfill our promise in the near future, so lead the Decaying Branch to become a full-fledged member of the Krewe of the Krewe of the Krewe of the Krewe of the Krewe of the Krewe of the Krewe of the Krewe of the Krewe of the Krewe.”
The robust figure of Marquis Somerset, who was leaning on the eighth high-backed chair on the side opposite of Marquis Heritier, said to Farmer with a bit of arrogant and wild intent.
“Hmph, I look forward to it.”
The decadent Bishop Farmer stood at one end of the long table, facing the Marquis of Heritier and the Marquis of Somerset, his laugh calm and forceful.
Nowadays, in the Kryptonian Empire, in addition to the ninth-ranked Blood Duke and eighth-ranked Blood Marquis, there were also two Cardinals of the Church of the Resurrection who had already allied themselves with them.
The generals of the empire were even more largely under control, and soon, it would be time to start clearing the internal obstacles and accelerating the infiltration program.
“But was it really necessary for you to go this far in order to kill Migaiya’s daughter? She’s bound to die now, even if the Eighth Order protects her.”
Decayed Bishop Farmer asked with interest.
Earlier, the Blood Clan had even commissioned them, the Church of the Resurrection, to do it, but unfortunately, both Bishop of Destruction Ivanoth’s people and his Decayed Bishop Farmer’s people had failed.
In the last half a year, that thorn in the side of the Blood Clan, Duchess Huberian, had even disappeared without a trace.
This made the blood race that had been hiding behind the curtain all begin to go out of their way to personally move and pay a costly price just to kill that tender young girl.
“The more we can’t kill that hybrid demon, the less anxious that 8th rank demon will be, her evolutionary speed is really a bit outrageous, if we let her continue to hide in the Krewe of Krewe Empire and cultivate like this, the next time she comes to attack us it might be the 9th rank.”
Marquis Somerset sighed.
Ever since they captured Duke Migaiya, that silver-haired demoness hadn’t rested, torturing the Bloods to death when they captured them, and even interrogating them to find out where their underground palace was.
Yet as long as she could be made to feel intense hatred, she would never again be a match for Duke Rachael, the Third Patriarch, the current supreme combatant of their Blood Clan, no matter how much she grew.
Duke Rachael’s power [Blood Mind Control] is located at the apex of mental magic and illusion magic, the heavier the enemy’s negativity, the easier it is for Duke Rachael to find a hole in his mind and complete his mental control and forced brainwashing.
However, the threat of the silver-haired demon was not the main purpose of killing Duchess Huberian.
The real significance of Duchess Huberian’s death was to break Duke Migaiya’s mental defenses.
It was the only way to make Migaiya fall into slavery to the Blood Clan and surrender all of his original magic.
Duke Migaiya’s dark magic was too good for the Bloods.
Even in the daytime it could be an umbrella for the Bloods.
If he could also find the 9th Patriarch, Marquis Bernhard, he could have him absorb Migaiya and maximize Migaiya’s benefits.
“Oh? Is she as strong as me?”
The Decaying Bishop was immediately interested when he heard this.
“No. But the next time she shows up, it’s possible.”
Heritier opened her mouth to answer as she listened to Farmer’s seemingly modest but incredibly confident question.
The cardinals of the Church of the Resurrection, each one of them were indeed incredibly strong and terrifying humans, or rather Heritier had never seen a human power so strong in any era.
If it wasn’t for the immortality of their blood race, I’m afraid that they wouldn’t be willing to easily mess with this mysterious organization, the Church of the Resurrection.
“So strong.”
The Decaying Bishop Farmer nodded his head, and the interest in his eyes became even more intense, as if he was eager to find an opportunity to capture this exceptionally gifted demon and include him in his laboratory.
Farmer put away his suitcase, put on his bowler hat with one hand, and prepared to turn around and leave before he heard the Marquis of Heritier’s words once again.
“By the way, have there been any changes in your Church of the Resurrection lately?”
“You ask me?”
Farmer asked as he smiled and pointed at himself.
The Blood Astrologer, surprisingly, would ask him for information.
“……”
Marquis Heritier didn’t want to repeat himself, and his eyes were telling Farmer that he wasn’t joking.
The seer over on the northern continent had long ago started to have mutual interference with her.
In turn, the intelligence from both places possessed a lag and was difficult to ascertain the veracity of, and lately it was always having an unspecified effect on her observations.
Knowing as much information about the current world as possible would also help her proactively calibrate her next observation.
“Over on the northern continent, there seems to have been a change of bishop.”
Farmer thought for a moment and replied.
“Who won?”
Heritier never cared about the loser, she only cared about who the winner was.
“……”
The rotten Bishop Farmer shook his head.
Based on the hazy Divine Generation text, they could only roughly read its meaning, but they didn’t know what its true form was.
……
Meanwhile on the northern continent, the Protoss Empire. The brightly lit skyscrapers, ancient churches and interdimensional floating pavements of Helm coexisted, and the night sky was not only dark blue, but also occasionally showed golden fireflies, as if reflecting the mirror of the city.
In a private collection on the top floor of a high-rise in the center of the city, Sigrid quietly leaned back in her chair and looked out the window.
“Lord Bishop, I’ll go back first.”
Gloria, who was standing in the doorway, saluted and asked for permission.
Half a day later.
“Oh, good.”
Sigrid returned a distracted voice.
“……”
Gloria listened to the bishop’s listless response, and had intended to say something, but for the time being, she closed the door quietly and excused herself.
Every day was indeed busy, and Gloria, who was the bishop’s administrative secretary, was now becoming busy along with it every day.
For them, being busy was actually a good thing, it meant that the Protoss Empire needed them, and the Bastard Branch and the Protoss Empire were becoming more and more inseparable.
Now not only was their popularity among the people of the Protoss Empire rising day by day, many of Rocky McCarthy’s supporters were also willing to bet their enthusiasm on their Hegemony Branch, and more importantly, the Great Sage Isis chose to trust the Hegemony Catholic Sigrid, who was a comrade-in-arms.
Even in the battle of chasing Duke Morotian, Isis had already somewhat discerned the identities of Sigrid’s three demonic summons, and had later received Sigrid’s confession, Isis was willing to help Sigrid release the three direct soldiers who had replaced their identities and stayed in Helm’s prison.
Gloria knew, however, that His Grace the Bishop was not tired from his work.
In the Collection.
After Gloria closed the door, Sigrid was still sitting in the empty collection hall, quietly looking at the night sky.
It was unknown how long she had been staring like this.
“By the way, I still have his Saint’s Certificate here.”
Sigrid looked like she remembered something.
The last few days had been so busy that she had forgotten that earlier in the Northern Snowy Plains Province Ranch had temporarily returned his [Saint’s Certificate – Bastard] to her for safekeeping in order to use the [Saint’s Certificate – Silent], which possessed the uniqueness of carrying it, to fuse it back into her Bishop’s Certificate in order to use it to carry the [Saint’s Certificate – Bastard] to disguise as a Silent Saint Son to carry her across the station blockade in the Box Hill Province.
Sigrid hesitated for a moment and took out her own [Bishop’s Certificate – Bastard].
Normally, she didn’t take out her Bishop’s Certificate.
Now that she remembered someone when she was alone, she kind of wanted to take a look at the items he left in her place again.
She remembered that when she first met him, this Bishop’s Certificate had slightly surprised him.
“Eh?”
Sigrid let out a confused voice as she looked at this Silver Moon Crown in her hand that was glowing with orange light.
In theory, according to the rules of the Desperate Arena, if she defeated Silent Bishop Ascension, her own Bishop’s Certificate would be upgraded to a Bishop’s Certificate with dual votes.
Now the Bishop’s Holy Seal in the shape of her own Silver Moon Crown had somehow turned into a shape like the sun and the moon.
Obviously, none of the [Certificate of Resurrection – Bastard] under his own command had changed, so why did his own [Bishop’s Certificate – Bastard] change.
It wasn’t until Sigrid gently broke it that she realized that this new Holy Seal cracked into two Holy Seals.
“Whoa, no!”
She hurriedly scrambled to bring the holy seals on her right and left hands together, and the holy seals changed back to their original form.
“Whew…”
Sigrid let out a sigh of relief.
Just now, she was so frightened that she thought she had broken the Bishop’s Certificate with too much force.
After quieting down and taking a closer look, she realized that the two holy seals were like keys that could be combined together or separated to become two different holy seals.
So Sigrid once again took the holy seals apart and looked at her right and left hands.
In addition to her own original Silver Moon Crown, the other one actually looked like a Glow Corona.
[Bishop’s Seal – Carnal Love]
[Category: Equipment Card]
[Grade: Orange Epic]
[Class: 0
【Effects: Bishop of Carnal Love’s identity credentials, can also be used by the Bishop of Hegemony. It can create a certificate of resurrection for all levels of the Carnatic Love branch, generate special attack and deterrent attributes for holders of lower level certificates of resurrection, locate the approximate position of clerics of the same branch, and discern the authenticity of certificates of resurrection displayed by other branches. May open the Bishop’s Council Chamber, Desperate Arena, and Bishop’s Vote Ceremony].
[Remarks: Held by Sigrid Novia.]
“What is the Bishop of Carnal Love?”
Sigrid looked at the Glowing Corona in confusion, and then realized how she couldn’t find Ranch’s [Saint’s Certificate – Bastard].
She gradually froze in a bit of a daze.
“No way, then won’t he become a cardinal just like me?”
Sigrid muttered as she put down the two holy seals in her hands in a daze.
It seemed that it was because in that Desperate Arena, it was ruled that the two of them, her and the Holy Son, had defeated Ascension together, which ultimately led to her Cardinal’s Seal becoming like this!
Originally, a single battle between bishops like the Desperate Arena was a situation that absolutely conflicted with the normal route of killing a bishop for promotion, but it seemed that because of the one-two punch of her and Saint Son’s maneuvering, it turned into an erroneous judgment that the Bishop’s Certificate had never encountered before as well!
She pondered with furrowed brows.
Although Ranchi didn’t have the Bishop’s Certificate on him now, he was indeed a Bishop’s Body.
The United Council of the Southern Continent Kingdom had a special ancient relic that was able to detect the general trajectory of the movements of the Cardinals of the Church of the Resurrection, which was exactly why they were able to defend themselves against the Cardinals for a long time.
But if Ranch became the new Cardinal, he himself didn’t know.
The people of the Southern Continent would have found out that a super raw bishop had run off to live in the Kingdom of Houghton, riding face to face with the United Kingdom Council.
And then the Church of the Resurrection and the Church of the Goddess of Destiny couldn’t figure out who this cardinal was even if they tried!
It shouldn’t be a big deal though.
Unless the peaceful and stable southern continent suddenly starts a war, and then Ranch runs around, it could get to the point where all the countries don’t know why a cardinal suddenly sneaks into their rear all of a sudden, can’t figure out the war effort, and messes up all the plans of all the forces.
“Uh, find a chance to go to the Southern Continent and return the Cardinal’s Certificate to him.”
Although she could also use it is all, it always felt like it would be better for one person to take one since it was a pair.
Until then, the northern continent’s Proteus Empire still needed her, at least until the covenant with the Kingdom of Etheltellan had been successfully concluded first, before she could pull out and leave.
Going to the southern continent would take at least more than two months for a round trip, and the Protoss Empire simply couldn’t let her leave for that long right now.
However, …… a year is too long, so if she can go to the southern continent to see him halfway through, it would still be acceptable.
It didn’t feel like the days were that hard anymore.
Sigrid held the two holy seals aloft and looked at the colorful collection through its light, getting happier and happier the more she looked at it, and the corners of her mouth curled into a sweet smile.
