Chapter 64 – From Today on, Goddess Representative (2)
Winterless City was the capital of Lombard Kingdom. It was one of the most prosperous cities. It has a large population and developed trade. Also, the parish in Winterless City not only spanned the city, but the nearby cities, towns, and villages also belonged to the Winterless City parish. It can be said that they are extremely affluent.
This parish was an excellent place for those who want to show their talents and accomplish great achievements. For those corrupted who wanted to make a quick buck, it was an even more endless treasure.
The questions was, which type of person did the Saint fall under?
No matter the type of person, this was not the kind of thing the a 10 year old girl should consider, right?
“Are you coveting for the position of ‘Goddess’?”
Bellco’s question was tantamount to pushing her into a dilemma, no matter whether she answers yes or no.
If she answers “Yes”, that was insatiable greed and being blinded by power and status, losing the most sincere faith in the goddess!
If she answers “No”, that was abandoning oneself, not seeking improvement, going against the teachings of the Holy Light Church, a decadent believer who just eats and waits for death!
Bellco’s seemingly simple problem was actually deliberately making it hard for her, forcing her to renounce her request of “transferring to Winterless City”.
It is a pity that the Saint would not fall for such petty tricks.
“Great Sage Bellco, why are you asking this? How rude.” She covered her mouth and widened her eyes in surprise!
Of course, she was blind and could not open her eyes.
“You actually asked me something like that… Wu wu, I’m so hurt. Do you assume the worst of everybody you meet? Or do you just treat me like this?”
She replied very cleverly, she did not bluntly refuse, but pretended to be wronged and changed the topic, then threw the question back.
Assume the worst of everyone? Or just her?
“…” Bellco was at a loss for words.
How could he respond? Would he say that he’s prejudiced against the Saint since she’s clearly a little girl but full of schemes, so he wants to deliberately make things difficult for her?
If this kind of thing was heard by someone, Bellco would be immediately detained and a big hat of blasphemy would be put on him, and then he would be publicly denounced. He’ll probably also lose his Great Sage position.
He wanted to embarrass the Saint, but instead suffered a loss. He twitched his long chin, and twisted his shoehorn-shaped face left and right, which was quite comical.
It is a pity that the Saint couldn’t see it.
Sensing Bellco’s dissatisfaction, she knew that she had the upper hand, but she did not pursue the victory, but rather gave him a way out.
“Great Sage Bellco, why aren’t you speaking? My request should be permitted, right?” The Saint pretended that nothing happened, and moved the topic back to the very beginning.
“Sigh…” Bellco breathed a sigh of relief and his expression finally eased a lot.
This little girl was really a witch.
This time he did not rush to answer, but instead paced back and forth in the room, thinking about the cause and effect of this matter.
Before the Pope went to bed, this is what he told him —— “If that girl wants to go to Winterless City, then let her go.” Judging from that, the Pope should have already understood her thoughts, so that’s why that arrangement was made.
The question is, what were the benefits to let her go to the Winterless City parish? Does she really want to use this as a springboard and wait for an opportunity to seek the position of “Goddess”? Or was this scheming little girl plotting other bad things?
But in any case, since the Pope already spoke, Bellco couldn’t make things any more difficult, he has to separate private and public matters.
“Okay, your wishes can be realized. But transferring between parishes takes time, the preceding work is very complicated, you have to go back to Sheryl City to wait.” Bellco said with a stiff face.
“Preceding work?” The Saint twitched her mouth and helplessly accepted the reality. “Great Sage, after the transfer, I have to conduct an inaugural speech… Oh, no, it’s ‘Spreading the Goddess’s Gospel’, right?”
“Yes.” Bellco nodded his head and asked, “However, who taught you this ‘inaugural speech’? I’ve never heard of it.”
“Oh, my brother taught me.” The Saint answered calmly.
“What, you have a brother?” That short statement almost made Bellco jump in surprise.
As far as he knows, this little girl was an orphan. Her identity, background and family origin were all a mystery. If not for the Bishop of Sheryl City, Jasmine, personally vouching for her, someone like her with an unclear background would have long been expelled.
This was the first time Bellco heard about the Saint having a brother.
