444 Highness Stunning Snow (1/2)
”A young wealthy Chinese person bought it and gifted it to his beloved woman.”
A mysterious look flashed in Andrea's eyes. The Hope Diamond made some people want to avoid it as it was a harmful item in their eyes. Yet, some others actually viewed it as a romantic symbolism of love, seeing it as aesthetic and touching. It was simply two ends of the spectrum.
Snow shook her head. ”We cannot come into contact with that thing.”
”Even the Sacred Palace is unable to deduce the secret of that item?” Andrea asked, a little demandingly.
Stunning Snow glanced over at Andrea calmly, ”Ever since that item appeared, its recorded history has been traced back tens of thousands of years. Till today, other than harming people, there have not been any other effects observed.” She did not say anything more as she lowered her head to look at her Divine Scripture.
Andrea bowed slightly, before retreating discreetly.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
Just as Andrea had left, a holy and pure white light flew into the room through the window and morphed into a white dove, before landing lightly on Stunning Snow's hand.
The white glow disappeared gradually and a letter that still had white rays appeared.
Stunning Snow looked at the letter and her brows furrowed slightly. With a flick of her fingers, the letter immediately became rays of white light that disappeared completely into the air.
In the far distance, a small figure of a cruise ship called the Sword of the Seas could be seen. A few white men were standing on the deck of the ship. They were all dressed in white robes and there were silver crosses hung around their necks. Clearly, they were all renowned clergymen of the Western world.
An old senior who was close to 60 years of age with a high nose bridge looked at the Sword of the Seas in the distance and mumbled to himself. ”Is the betrayer of the Blood Kindred on that ship?”
”Dear Pislen, even if the betrayer of the Blood Kindred has the Divine Blood in him, there would be no effect on us, I believe?” A hefty man with a beard asked. ”Why is there the need to be so excited and motivated by it then?” he finished as his eyes gleamed.
”Dante, the Divine Blood is indeed of no use to us,” Pislen said serenely. ”However, if it gets sold to the underground market by the Demon Gods Alliance, we will be able to exchange it for huge amounts of treasure. You should know that in the Demon Gods Alliance, there are many things that are beneficial to us clergymen. Those things can only be obtained in the underground market of the Demon Gods Alliance.”
”Archbishop Pislen, what's the difference between doing this and forcefully stealing something? We believe in God and we should uphold justice, fairness, kindness…”
Dante furrowed his brows, clearly not very satisfied about this.
”That's enough! Dante, the Blood Kindred is a common enemy of all clergymen. They are evil, dark, violent and disrespectful to God. There is no kindness in their hearts. If you hope for the world to be filled with kindness and peace, then they should all be executed. If the Divine Blood falls into the hands of the Blood Kindred, it would allow them to have a master appear once again and it would be very possible for a Duke to be produced.” He paused. ”You must think about it, a Duke in the Blood Kindred will be a very big threat to the Curia,” the Archbishop advised earnestly.
”However, if you sell it to the underground market of the Demon Gods Alliance, there is a 90 percent chance that the Divine Blood would still end up in the hands of the Blood Kindred,” Dante rebutted.
”I was just giving an example but I did not say that we would be doing that exactly. The Divine Blood of the Blood Kindred is of a certain scientific value to the Curia so we do not have to sell it off for certain. Dante, you have too shallow an understanding of the Divine Way. Hm, where have you placed your Divine Scripture? You can take a look at it now and try to get a better understanding of the Divine Way.”
Pislen passed a Divine Scripture from within the book to Dante and gave him a look that conveyed the need for him to read up more. Dante's expression turned cold. He received the Divine Scripture and he turned around to walk back along the cruise ship.
Beside Archbishop Pislen, a few of the clergies were offering constant flattery. He was the Archbishop of the Curia and his position was far more superior to most of theirs.
”Pislen, Dante is simply too pedantic in his thoughts. How could he be so indiscriminate in his treatment of the dark and evil Blood Kindred?”
”That's right, the Divine Blood definitely cannot fall into the hands of the Blood Kindred. We have to take it away.”
Pislen listened to their flattery. ”I have just delivered a letter to Highness Stunning Snow but Her Highness has not replied,” he said, furrowing his brows.
”What do you think Highness Stunning Snow's intentions are?” a member of the clergy asked cautiously.
Pislen sighed. ”I doubt she will attack,” he said. It was a coincidence that Highness Stunning Snow had appeared on the Sword of the Seas. She may not have come with the intention of capturing the Divine Blood.
”Even if Highness Stunning Snow does not attack, would the few of us be enough to capture the Divine Blood?” another clergyman asked.
”You cannot be careless,” Pislen said with a solemn expression. ”From the news that I have received, the Blood Kindred and the Sorcerers family have already boarded the Sword of the Seas. We are already a step behind them. If they had attacked the cruise ship, they would probably have already gotten the Divine Blood in their hands.” Their actions were actually very quick! It was a pity that Highness Stunning Snow was unable to make a move. With her abilities, she would definitely have been able to capture the Divine Blood.
”Highness Stunning Snow also belongs to the Curia so why does she not act as one with us? Could it be that after joining the Divine Palace, she no longer places any importance on the Curia…” a young clergyman asked, a little offended.
”Carlo, you shut your mouth.” Pislen's expression changed slightly as he interrupted the youth. The few clergymen surrounding them paled slightly as well as they scolded Carlo for being a fool. He had actually dared to talk about Highness Stunning Snow behind her back. A young calf indeed does not know to fear a tiger.
”Carlo, you had better watch your words in future,” Pislen said with a cold expression. ”Blaspheming against the Gods is regarded as heresy. Highness Stunning Snow is the pride of the Roman Curia. She was able to join the Divine Palace at such a young age. In the future, she may even be able to surpass our Pope. Since she is now someone of the Divine Palace, she cannot constantly keep tabs on the Roman Curia. Her primary loyalty inevitably lies with the Gods Alliance.”
The Roman Curia was already past its glory days. For them to be able to produce a talent like Highness Stunning Snow was all thanks to God's grace. Anyone in the Curia who dared to blaspheme against her would be faced with serious consequences.
