Chapter 694 - Prestigious Summit 3 (1/2)

As Luke approached the conference room, he could hear the priests arguing from the inside.

“I don’t think that there is any problem with granting them permission.”

“Right! Don’t you know that the needle thief turns into a cow thief? If you close your eyes on this injustice, things will hit back to us later!”

“I beg your pardon? Does it mean that Mr. Bosco regards them as thieves? Those men who repent their sins and have surrendered to us?”

“Well, who knows what is inside a person’s mind? Maybe the warlocks are using it in their fight.”

“No, does that even make sense?”

“What doesn’t make any sense?”

As the debate was there, the escort announced Luke’s arrival.

As he opened the door to the conference room and entered, the priests stood up and bowed to him.

Only one, a sturdy senior priest wearing a white toga bowed his head with a sullen look.

‘That man is Priest Bosco, the head of the opposition.’

He heard the arguments from the outside and even from Johas.

Bosco was a priest of the Mars denomination, and like a priest of a denomination that worshipped the God of war, he had an excellent divine power.

However, what was more grievous to Luke was that he was a priest of the Mars denomination.

Priests of El Kassel generally supported Luke.

He was the King of Symphonia, the first ally of the Holy Empire, and was personally known to be close to the pope.

However, that political position didn’t work for the Mars denomination.

Rather, a weird feeling of betrayal could be felt from them.

The Rakans were close with the Mars denomination, but with Luke, the Rakan ended up becoming close to the El Kassel denomination.

Since the founding of Symphonia, the number of royal retainers who changed into El Kassel denomination was increasing, while the number of the Mars denomination kept on decreasing. Even though the continent was in the middle of a war.

Rather than that, the Mars denomination’s priests didn’t like Luke, that was the same with Bosco.

Luke approached him and spoke, “Are you Priest Bosco?”

“Yes, Your Majesty, I am Bosco of the Mars denomination, the Elder of Symphonia side denomination.”

The High priest of Mars denomination was on par with the elder priest of the El Kassel denomination.

Moreover, since there were many knights who believe in the Mars denomination in the Symphonia Kingdom, Luke’s troops could be shaken at the words of Bosco.

“I heard that you were arguing over the artificial muscle of the Gigant…”

“Your Majesty must not be so free to come over for these measly problems?”

“I am flustered to hear such words from you who inspect the Black Tower, even after you are supposed to look after the well-being of the Kingdom.”

Luke gave a sarcastic answer to Bosco’s sarcasm.

And to skip the quarrel, he went straight to the point.

“I will be straightforward with you. I don’t think that the artificial muscle will be a huge problem if they can be managed well.”

“I think it is the right of a priest and not Your Majesty to judge that.”

“Really? I don’t think that you actually saw my ability, right?”

Once Luke was done, his body began to radiate a gold glow.

Bosco’s expression changed when he saw the Divine power of a high priest level exude from Luke.

He heard the rumors that Luke was using Divine power, but the amount of it was beyond his imagination.
