Black Sails
Chapter 756 93: The Thorned Sin Nun
"Liszt and the Holy Daughter of the Holy Spirit Church met on the SS Jingbo, and the situation doesn't look good—the welcoming ceremony turned into a missing person's notice."
A pirate came to report.
Rein and the others were shocked that Fafna ran away from home. Luckily, she didn't leave without a word; it was more like a treasure hunt with some cryptic clues leading to Pedan.
"It's over. What if Sister Faf gets led astray by a delinquent?"
Chuan Che held his head with both hands; theoretically, he's still a member of Celeste's Dragon Finding Project and is receiving a government salary—it's part of his job.
"Rather than worry about that, shouldn't you worry she'll start hunting Aran people to earn points?!"
Shadi wasn't afraid of blondies at all, just feared Heaven Port-style education had turned someone into the ultimate villainous noble girl.
An ordinary high school girl meets a delinquent: brother is handsome, sister is in love.
Fafna meets a delinquent: Toma's swordsman, fight your mom, Imperial Whale Killing Fist 990,000 horses!
Rein had already imagined the Battle of the Moon. The Western Continent has its own Oga.
As her guardian, if Fafna did anything, then the guardian would be fully responsible.
"Given the situation, let's see what the Holy Daughter of the Holy Spirit Church looks like first."
Rein could only make such a decision!
"The Holy Daughter…"
Shadi was a bit intrigued. Strictly speaking, Izumi and Mo Yutong are also Holy Daughters, but they're from the Miracle of Suffering. As a medium, Fen could even utilize the Netherworld Stele.
But that was a cult force.
He had never seen a proper Holy Daughter in his life.
No religion in the world could demand followers not marry; that's totally anti-human. Only in certain religious regulations might there be a couple of added rules requiring abstinence or a little brainwashing.
The Eternal Sect's teachings don't oppose marriage among followers either; otherwise, who would believe? With no love or marriage, what's the difference between the human world and Hell?
They only required nuns to serve the Dragon Lord before the age of thirty.
In the Eternal Sect, males are dominant and have slightly higher status.
But the Holy Spirit Church is different. Due to its long history, it was even matriarchal before the Ancient Era's break.
The head of the Thirteen Holy Spirits, Tai Chu and the End Saint Spirit, the Master of Destiny, strictly speaking, are genderless, but their images are shown as female.
Moreover, it was not uncommon for females to helm the church over the years.
Due to the current need to vie with the Eternal Sect for the top religious position, a strong figure in governance and martial arts is needed. The current leader is still male.
But in the Holy Spirit Church, there's no such thing as serving the Holy Spirit, and there are quite a few high-ranking females.
The Holy Spirit Church's teachings advocate maintaining a set of stable order and ensuring the positive development of civilization, making it progressive in some aspects.
So, certain thoughts in the Holy Spirit Church are pretty advanced.
Being a Holy Daughter is not a feudal remnant. Being chosen as a Holy Daughter means adhering to various rules and connecting with the object of faith. It's not a passive position to be manipulated by others.
The Holy Daughter of the Holy Spirit Church also needs to establish a connection with the Holy Spirit, but the approach is different.
It's a scientifically orderly path of promotion, where followers progress to higher positions through actual achievements; nuns must also prove their worth to secure their status as Holy Daughters.
In other words.
The Holy Daughter of the Holy Spirit Church belongs to the martial merit faction; they have achievements. They either understand finance or hold a blade while understanding the law and can bring Heavenly Punishers to collect protection fees.
Because they brought the Netherworld Stele Fragments, an Ancient Era Royal Artifact, a heavyweight came with Caroso.
"We must reach before Liszt applies psychological control."
Shadi made such a judgment.
Inside the navigation room of the SS Jingbo.
Caroso's face was ominous.
The Holy Spirit Church's policy was not to place Fafna in Heaven Port, but in the Lostra Royal Hunting Ground.
As agreed last year with Liszt, fostering is fine as long as Liszt dominates the East Sea and is willing to share the Netherworld Stele Fragments.
Caroso brought the Stele Fragments according to the agreement.
But… Sister Faf has already ventured elsewhere.
"No need to worry. First, Fafna can protect herself, and she has a strong sense of belonging to Heaven Port. Didn't she head to Pedan? I happen to be going there, so I'll find her along the way."
Liszt pretty much understood what was going on and why Fafna headed to Pedan.
It was definitely because Nashano kept boasting about the greatest adventure of the 27th century that caught Fafna's attention, and she set off early.
But Liszt wasn't focusing on the runaway; his eyes were fixed on the Holy Daughter of the Holy Spirit Church.
Thickly Gifted Crab.
Liszt's standards were extremely high.
There's no absolute perfection; the moon waxes only to wane, and a person full up will suffer loss. The ultimate figure is often magnificent in all aspects but must also have a standout feature to be called 'ultimate.'
This condition is extremely harsh, rarer than winning a lottery twice in a row.
The ultimate waist-to-hip ratio achieved perfection. Celeste, lauded as a 'Tomb Raider' and 'beautiful hip woman.'
The ultimate beautiful back—Alicia, whose lines exude the classical sculpture's spiritual charm and has a so-called 'Dominion Mark' on her back, the ultimate beautiful back leaves nothing to say, a beautiful back woman.
And now, he encountered.
A beautiful chest woman.
"You say it so easily. This is what happens when you cooperate with rogues, there's no accountability process, and I really don't know how to punish you."
Bastie's tone was angry, her red lips carried a sense of helpless fatigue.
Her light golden hair flowed to her waist, framing her proud figure. Beneath the white lace bands, her blue eyes were hazy like a spring lake covered with morning mist, an untouched holy lake.
And where Liszt's gaze rested.
The hollow of the collarbone like a bay cradling moonlight, the shoulder line folds with the Holy Hall's light and shadow.
Wrapped tightly beneath a silver-white silk magic robe, it was the remarkable curves Liszt called a beautiful chest woman.
"Please punish me."
Liszt's tone carried a cheeky playfulness, with nothing pressing to do and feeling buoyant, now was time for some flirting.
Celeste's eyelid twitched; Bastie, being an important figure in the Holy Spirit Church, held a status equivalent to the Chief Priest of the Royal Capital Great Religious Group, only below the High Priest and the Pope, sure to the top—was this really the time for courtship?
Bastie hadn't expected such a rogue like Liszt to accept this situation happily. She was considering how many Golden Dragons as compensation.
"In the dungeon, just you and me."
Liszt said leisurely, leaning against the wall.
His Transformation Freedom Technique had already begun.
Even a revered figure like Bastie was just a young lass who needed to be dealt with severely.
"Dungeon?"
Bastie clearly didn't understand what Liszt was talking about.
Having hung out with Liszt for a while, Celeste felt disgusted; how could she not know what he was thinking?
"Agent Seventeen! What's with that expression! I'm issuing a task, you have to assist me in capturing the Thorned Nun!"
Liszt's tone was not up for questioning.
Celeste, now an agent with infinite stamina intelligence, must cooperate properly to accomplish all the wicked plans!
