Chapter 14 (1/2)

The holy light shrouded the world

According to the legend, this was how the Church cahty God issued the first oracle In the era marked by endless wars, the first Pope uttered these words while wielding a weak holy light, and raised this light into the night sky during e

Since the church's thousands of years of existence, its ianization into one that doo, the Helius Kingdorounds, and it becadodom, but everyone knew, the royal familyin front of feet of God's statue

It can be said that everyone born in this kingdodoe oath, to their funeral, there would always be an eleion involved The Church used this kind of method to control everyone's lives

Everyone believed in the will of God, and no one dared to oppose the Church

The first oracle ”The holy light shrouded the world,” was etched into every corner of every church

Saint Peter's cathedral naturally became the center of the church as it was the only church in Havenwright, the capital of the kingdom of Helius

At this moment, Benjamin sat inside one of the confession roo at that sentence etched on the wall

”The holy light shrouded the world”

Of course, he was not here to confess As a rookie e, as the Church would say, he was already a fallen one that has given into the te to hi

He was here to see the bishop

To the normal citizens, the bishop of Saint Peter's cathedral was in charge of daily e of hunting and purging cultists, wielding one of the greatest powers in the Church----”The Cleaner”

Benjamin wanted to discuss with him about Michelle

He did not plan to give the Church any information, and he did not wish to help the Church capture Michelle, honestly speaking, Benjaht now As aimportant to do, and that was to increase his capabilities

How did all the er?

Benjamin and the System did not kno to answer this question To unlock everything he needed to know about es, the only solution was to look for Michelle or the Church

He could not hurl himself into Michelle's embrace, therefore, the Church was the only choice he had

The Church es, of course, they would definitely not give this information to him His purpose here was to ask the bishop for traces of Michelle, and all the places that she has been before

He still remembered what Annie said before she died: ”Michelle, under the third tree at the usual place, I've buried alltheh the relationshi+p between these tomen seemed to be fake, but he felt that Annie said this with all honesty

He wanted to find the places that Michelle has been, and that ”usual place” mentioned

Annie's ”Precious Belongings” probably ic He wanted to find the places that they have been by, and find that ”third tree” while Michelle is busy hiding, then dig up Annie's belongings before Michelle could

This was the reason Benjah Annie could have been lying, and even though finding traces of Michelle by asking the bishop ood idea, he still had to try If this method did not work out, he could think of another way then

He was the kind of person who had to try solimmer of hope in it Otherwise, that hope would haunt hisit hard for him to eat and sleep

He did not fear that he would be suspected by the Church His memories had already been acquired by the ”Cleaner”, so the people of the Church probably did not suspect him one bit Could they even think of the possibility of a person having two separate memories from interdimensional travel?

”Sir Lithur”

Suddenly, a low voice interrupted his thoughts

Benjahts and turned around From the veil of the confession rooed man with an aquiline nose sat at the other side

”Lord Bishop” He replied with respect

He wanted to use the water ele method he used on the assassin previously to sense the bishop But after thinking that this was a church, some of them probably knew some divine arts, so for safety reasons, he did not

”I' to hear the confessions of a citizen, granting the forgiveness of God to every guilty youth” The other party had an inhumanly cal you have information on the servant of the Devil, and wish to alert God?”

These religious peoplethey spoke about Benjamin could not help but feel revolted

He did not express these feelings, but still maintained his respect: ”Yes”

The bishop was silent for a while, then asked: ”So you are saying, the servant of the Devil that cursed you has started to communicate with you?

Hearing this, Benjamin frowned

Planted a curse?

The bishop's words created turmoil in his heart, and diverted his focus froh the statement was rhetorical, he still understood what he meant: He has been cursed? What happened? What did I miss?

Benja

”Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you” The System came out of nowhere and explained: ”Before Michelle escaped, she chanted soht flew into your chest I didn't knohat that was at the tiht now, I think it's probably the curse he mentioned”

””

He felt cheated by the system once more, and was speechless

He wanted to shout at the syste ”Why didn't you say so earlier?”, but this sentence has been said too many times, and did not seem to be of use, the system still continued to repeat its ry

It was not the tiue with the System

A curse…

He knew Michelle would not let hio so easily Before this he was surprised by Michelle's generosity, but right now, everything iven up, she was like a veno back to its hole, waiting for the chance to strike again
