Translator: imperfectluck Editor: Pranav, imperfectluck
After the Holy Church’s branches were exiled froht However, today, there were two obviously high-ranked Holy Knights chatting with each other as they walked around Diffindor’sbusiness district
“Oh, so you’re here on an official ht after the end of the battle, it would seem that our Holy Church’s headquarters reat iht nodded This part was obvious due to the envoy group’s arrival She didn’t need to deny it
“With the Auland Empire currently in a stalemate, the Northlands received the first victory beyond everyone’s expectations This astonished just about every country as this was the first victory of the Holy War Plus, East Mist sent a significant present at such a time, so the Cardinal Conference and His Holiness the Pope were all really delighted, which hy they sent us with rewards for this place”
“Rewards? That Roland is fa difficult to deal with I doubt that it would be easy to satisfy hiave a holy artifact as a present, it iven to Roland in return can’t just be so to pay up this tih it’s still a secret, since it’ll be publicized soon anyways, I suppose I can tell you This tiranted is an incredible honor that nobody will believe…”
The “Red-winged Griffin” Aivla was quite grateful to the young Holy Knight before her If it weren’t for his sudden appearance and help that allowed her to pay the costs she owed for destroying that other man’s undead laborers, perhaps she would have lost roup found out that she was held responsible for being unable to pay for da for her
Just as she was in the ht arrived Although she didn’t kno this northern Holy Knight was able to obtain respect fro by how everyone’s attitudes around them quickly softened, he seemed to be quite welcome here
And it seemed inconceivable to her that in this city of Diffindor, where people were obviously biased against the Holy Light, all the bystanders kept bowing to him
“Perhaps he’ll be able to help out with our current difficulties”
Aivla was already intending to introduce this Holy Knight, whose naroup A local as able to provide inforroup needed right now
When Rolo asked her about the reason that the envoy group had come here, Aivla considered for a rateful to hi just helped her out, so she decided to just casually tell hi secret, but the politicalbehind it is important and rather sensitive, so please don’t spread it around Especially the East Mist Royalty—they absolutely can’t find out about it beforehand”
“Of course In the naht, I promise that I shall never reveal this information to anyone from East Mist”
Aivla had an even better iht Rolo after she heard hiht
“This tiave as a reward is the title of a Saint of Holy Light! The target is that Prince Roland who once had the glorious title of Son of Light”
“Saint Roland? How is that possible?”
“I know—it’s utterly incomprehensible I have no idea what the Cardinal Conference and His Holiness were thinking Is the title of Saint of Holy Light so given to a living heretic Perhaps in the past he was indeed an exa a lost holy artifact is indeed a reorthy achievelorious titles in the past, but the past is all the past Just look at this city; the dirty undead are everyone He’s allies with the undead, so why are we giving such a venerable title and the glory of a Saint of Holy Light to such an evil person? This is basically nothing more than a humiliation upon the entire Holy Church”
The feer as she ranted Her dissatisfaction, which had accu over, and in front of her two elders in the envoy group, she didn’t dare voice her complaints too much Noever, she felt like she had an opportunity to vent, so she was filled with complaints
I understood why she was so frustrated, as the title of Saint of Holy Light was so that the Holy Church typically rewarded to people only after their deaths And this wasn’t only a ht and the Holy Church’s recognition of that person It was both glorious and a useful identity to have
This title would also be added in front of the names of a few countries, which represented their devoutness and the extra attention given to thea-level empire competed intensely for this title, and only San Antonio and a few ancient empires were able to receive it due to their countless years of contributions
“Just what is the God of Holy Light thinking, suddenly giving e present?”
There would besuch a title
For example, in order to ht, and Saint of Holy Light was incapable of ht really did so, which was basically the best disaster-avoiding ticket to have of all
The title of Saint of Holy Light wasn’t soiven away After all, no matter how many acco that they wouldn’tmistake later on in life
That hy this title was almost exclusively for the dead While there were a few exaht in the past, most of them were fervent believers of the Holy Church Soht’s Divine Miracles
Back in the day, when the Holy Light represented despair and flashed its last in the skies of Diffindor, there had been nuiven the title of Saint of Holy Light as well For ht in just two years seeht of despair was also treated as a Divine Miracle, which hy there were indeed so me this title Of course, in the end, it didn’t co by the inforoing on
Most probably, this newly ascended pope was incredibly pleased at receiving such a huge gift fro He took into consideration that I had been recomiving ht However, it was obvious that his envoy group had differing opinions about this, especially after seeing the undead here, which hy the envoy group was hesitating and stalling without contacting me directly
“Actually, no They should realize how ive the me far too much They must have some additional reasons that I still don’t know about yet This little girl is obviously not the type to hide what she knows, in which case it means that probably even she doesn’t know”
Yet still, I had to attempt to pry and find out more Perhaps I would find out more beneficial information “…This is His Holiness the Pope’s decision, so we should be cautious in e say Although I don’t really have the right to say anything, I also believe that Roland doesn’t deserve the honor of being a Saint of Holy Light He’s never had the God of Holy Light in his heart to begin with, so aren’t there other higher-ups with different opinions froht concur with her thoughts, Aivla continually nodded
“Yeah; I can’t understand it at all There were so inally, I was neutral about this topic, but once I arrived here and witnessed all these heretics unwilling to accept the Holy Light’s teachings, as well as those undead that dare to walk around in broad daylight, it’s uniinable for me not to consider Roland as a heretic His Holiness uiled by someone, which is the only reason he could have come to such a ridiculous decision, but…”
“But?”
“Well, it’s nothing uess Perhaps His Holiness hopes to be able to reestablish the Holy Church’s branches here again If the Holy Church is able to ease the relationshi+p with Roland by giving hiht, it would seem quite likely”
I nodded, as this ithin my expectations Even if the Church of Laas the national church in our country, we pered to the Order Gods
Although it was rather forceful of the Holy Church, I had already decided to accept the reestablishment of their church branches This wasn’t only for political needs; it was also quite practical
Even though the power of Law had ht, and was even better than Holy Light at punishi+ng evildoers, it couldn’t co in any way There were far too few people on our side with Holy Light-related job classes, which was a disadvantage for us
Actually, it was also because of the fact that Holy Light was so good for healing that Legend-ranked holy ic users, who could cure just about any norratitude from the populace It was also why most countries found it difficult to refuse the establishment of the Holy Church’s branches within their borders or to refuse to allow those with Holy Light job classes to spread their teachings
Aivla’s words h The deep grudge between the Holy Church and I left behind froye won’t be that easy to cancel out Giving ht is no simplethat their past grudges againstso beneficial for erous, especially when this see comes from a former enemy”
