Capítulo 843: Chapter D301: Idol (Part 3)

‘However, the old Pope really has a strange sense of humor. Obviously, it would have been enough to simply abolish them, yet he left their remnants behind.’

The Depraved Hero said this, but his tone was rather appreciative.

The Hero smiled wryly, not opposing the words of his other self.

Although the decisive blow was only struck recently, during her more than a year of slumber due to her Awakening, the influence of the Holy Snake Sect gradually waned.

If the upper echelons of the Church truly wanted to dissolve this sect that somewhat bordered on heresy, it probably wouldn’t encounter much resistance.

Yet they chose to let things run their course.

Clearly, the Holy Snake Sect was used as bait and a trap, and more so as a vivid and cruel warning.

If anyone in the future wishes to revive the divine faith, the half-dead Holy Snake Sect will become the best refuge for these people, as well as an insurmountable threshold and grave.

I wonder what the Noble Lady plans to do?

Swallowing the strawberry cake, the Hero let someone come to collect the tableware and politely declined the kitchen’s suggestion to bring another.

Deciding to ask her close friend tomorrow, the girl lay on her bed and slowly drifted into dreamland.

The next day, after waking up, the Hero had someone bring the Noble Lady to inquire about her thoughts.

“The Holy Snake Sect in this state doesn’t seem very suitable for you anymore.”

The Hero’s tone wasn’t worried; it was merely curious.

After all, the relationship between the Noble Lady and the Holy Snake Sect was originally just a mutually beneficial cooperative one. As the daughter of the Border Count, the Noble Lady wasn’t strictly bound by the Church.

Moreover, after two years, the Noble Lady has long transformed, although younger than before she left home, she’s no longer that young girl but has become an exceptional Professional able to stand on her own.

[To the Hero’s inquiry, her—(current attitude towards the Holy Snake Sect, 40-leave)]

D90+10=d90(78)+10=88

“I have no problem, at least during my years studying in the Holy City, I plan to stay there all the time.”

The Noble Lady elegantly raised the teacup, showing some of the Count’s demeanor.

“So their attitude towards you hasn’t changed? I thought…”

“Hero sister thinks they would resent you? Forget about those who left, the ones who stayed are more devout, after all, whether Holy Snake or Phoenix, in essence, it’s still Hero sister you.”

Words that cannot be openly expressed in the Holy Snake Sect were casually spoken by the Noble Lady.

“But I’m human, not a god.” The Hero said puzzled.

“After all, faith is sometimes hard to fathom, especially when they’re divine beliefs…” The Noble Lady smiled wryly like a little adult.

As a friend of the Hero and equipped with the rational institution’s thought process, she won’t be influenced by the increasingly fervent ideology.

“Regardless of those people’s faith in Hero sister, the Holy Snake Sect is indeed a good place, they were not bad people to begin with.

“And even without them, the admiration for you in the Holy City is equally intense. When I came over this morning, in the Cathedral’s corridors, the people I saw were at least ten times the usual, and they were all definitely coming for Hero sister.”

Not expecting to greet the Saintess, even if it’s just familiarizing themselves, gaining a glimpse, or even a peek at her beauty, it would still be excellent.

“This, so exaggerated?” Seeing the Noble Lady’s vivid performance, the Hero gulped.

Although she had started to adapt to the role of the Saintess Agent, facing the increasingly enthusiastic public was still a bit overwhelming.

The Noble Lady suddenly revealed a cunning smile, pulling out a copy of the Holy City Daily, with the headline: “Judgement Court to soon initiate a strict crackdown on false Holy Relic crimes, citizens beware and avoid deception!”

“Now even if you lose a strand of hair, it can make the headlines.” She mischievously blinked, “Yesterday a merchant brought a golden feather to the Church for appraisal, insisting it fell during your battle. It turned out to be gold fused with chicken feathers using Alchemy Enchantment, and now he’s been sent to cool off for a few days by the Judgement Court.”

The Hero almost choked on a cookie.

She blushingly grabbed the newspaper, noticing that on its back was an ad: “Evil-breaking Church & Judgement Court Joint Authorized! New products at the Food Church! Enjoy half price with a Goblin extermination certificate,” with an image of a Judgement Court girl candy figurine holding up a broken sword.

Ugh, although her face wasn’t sculpted, it’s clearly recognizable as her.

Speaking of which, it seems the Evil-breaking Bishop and several Archbishops had also visited her, mentioning the need for authorization beneficial to Goblin clearing… was this what he meant back then!?

“This is too…” The Hero said, crying and laughing.

“If you appear in front of the citizens, the reaction would only be more exaggerated.”

The Noble Lady shook her head.

“After all, it was Hero sister’s deeds that were the most outrageous…”

Defeating a Great Demon at the Border, slaying a Key of the Door at the Capital, and escalating it further in the Holy City, defeating both a Key of the Door and a Great Demon.

“Moreover, Hero sister is the youngest ever, and fastest to rise Saintess.

“Can only say, even the latest craze in the Capital’s demon shadow wouldn’t dare depict it this way.”

To hear such feats, it’s normal for ordinary people to revere her as if divine, and thinking back to when it all started where she guided her reincarnation hands-on, the Noble Lady felt as if it was all a lifetime ago.

But looking at the opposite person, grown into an adult form but showing a blissful smile as she savored sweet red tea, the Noble Lady couldn’t help but smile too.

However, after putting down her teacup, the Hero’s expression turned back to helpless.

It’s not easy fulfilling the responsibilities of a Saintess either.

However, in the Hero’s view, this fervor will not last for very long, as soon, another prominent figure will visit the Holy City.

—The King is about to arrive in the Holy City.
