The other onlookers finally awoke from their daze and knelt, joining together in a prayer ceremony.

"Praise the Light!"

"This is my personal copy of the Light Divine Book, with my annotations and revisions, as well as my personal understanding of the scriptures. Consider it a small gift for His Holiness the Pope."

The Pope awkwardly accepted the tome: "Such a gift is indeed, invaluable! I will surely keep it well preserved...

The Divine Envoy has traveled a long and arduous journey, it must have been exhausting for you.

We have prepared for you and your envoy..."

The Pope looked at the familiar faces behind Lette and gritted his teeth in frustration.

When he had initially dispatched them, he hadn't expected them to return in such a manner!

To bolster Holy Daughter Aloe's prestige, the members of this Special Envoy group were top-notch, regarded as the future pillars of the Church Court.

It was intended to be a beneficial training experience, but it ended in failure, with everything lost.

This incident nearly caused a talent vacuum in the entire Divine Court!

And now, ironically, they have returned as someone else's envoy.

Just the thought of it gave the Pope a stomachache.

It was infuriating that these people returned without changing their clothes, and even the carriages were exactly the same.

Were they truly not afraid of angering the Pope to death?

"A luxurious welcome banquet has been prepared for everyone!

Soon, Halse will take everyone to the temporary residence for the envoy.

Halse, come over here."

At the Pope's call, a Light Knight in heavy armor hurried over, kneeling with a thud.

"Your Holiness the Pope! Divine Envoy! Light Knight Halse, here to see you!"

"Yes, you are responsible for taking the envoy to the accommodation prepared by the Divine Court.

During the Divine Envoy's stay in the Holy City, all matters concerning food, living, and safety are to be handled by you, understood?"

"Yes! Halse will not let down the instructions of His Holiness the Pope!"

This armored figure stood up and gestured to Lette: "Divine Envoy, please come this way."

Lette nodded slightly and, after taking leave of the Pope and others, led the entire envoy to follow the armored Halse out of the Holy City towards their lodging in a manor.

As soon as he left, the welcome ceremony naturally concluded, and the clergy left in succession, followed by the dispersal of the crowd.

Holy Daughter Aloe found a gap and, taking Jenny with her, left the convoy and ran towards the nearby Red Archbishop.

After all, as a young girl of sixteen or seventeen, she missed home and family after being away for such a long time.

As for Jenny, upon leaving, she exchanged a glance with Lette, speaking volumes without words.

As the Divine Envoy, Lette was currently the brightest figure in the Holy City, constantly surrounded and unable to act freely.

With Aloe being so important, there couldn't be any mistake. Having Jenny follow as a close friend for protection was the best choice.

Shortly after the two young witches left the group, Lette, under the guidance of Light Knight Harris, stopped in front of a small courtyard.

One must say, the residence found for them by the Divine Court was indeed quite good.

Building such a large manor in the densely packed Holy City could only be described as luxurious, even extravagant.

"Divine Envoy, are you satisfied with this place?"

Lette stroked his chin: "It's just so-so."

He wasn't bragging; given the similarity between the Light World and the Holy Light Great World, the Holy Light Holy City and the Light Holy City were also very similar.

Lette had a small courtyard in the city center of the Holy Light City; though smaller, its location was far superior.

In such big cities, real estate's value was all about location.

Sometimes, the property value of two areas could differ by several classes, separated by just a street.

But Lette didn't come here to enjoy life; living here was fine enough.

The most important aspect was its size, accommodating the entire Special Envoy group.

The other members of the envoy didn't have as strong backgrounds as Aloe.

If they were to leave the envoy and wander around, Lette wouldn't be able to guarantee their safety.

After all, faith often coexisted with madness and fanaticism.

And traitors in the eyes of the people were especially despised.

To prevent them from doing anything drastic, it was best to keep them close by.

After escorting the Special Envoy to their destination, Harris did not immediately depart but instead gathered squad after squad of Light Knights and Holy Guards to protect the entire manor.

The surrounding streets were also cleared, with patrols constantly going back and forth.

Lette was quite surprised, not expecting the Church to regard him with such importance, securing the place so thoroughly.

But he soon saw that many fervent believers tried to break through these defenses just to see him and listen to his teachings.

It quickly dawned on Lette that these so-called measures and guards weren't for the Special Envoy's safety.

Quite the contrary, they were intended to prevent the envoy from interacting with the citizens of the Holy City.

Evidently, during the time Lette brought people here, the Church had gained significant understanding and awareness of his preaching abilities.

They feared he would come to their homeland and convert all their believers with a single round of sermons.

That would indeed be a grave loss for them.

"So it's to guard against me... Haha, what a flattering gesture."

Lette slowly closed the second-floor window and turned back to sit on the sofa.

In reality, the Church's concerns were unwarranted.

Lette came not to spread his doctrines, nor to uproot their foundation.

Everything he did was to learn about the current status of the Holy Light God through official channels, without alerting anyone.

But it must be said, by the time he reached his destination, Lette's suspicions were mostly confirmed.

After all, he had performed numerous divine miracles without any response from above.

This further solidified Lette's theory: the Holy Light God had encountered a problem.

As for what specifically happened, he would need to gain the Church's authority, to formally approach the God through official means.

"I hope the reality is better than my worst fears."

Lette sighed, resting his hands behind his head.

He willed a few protective arrays around himself, and after silently setting up arrays around the entire manor, he used the Dream Entering Technique to fall asleep.

Reclining on the sofa, Lette's consciousness entered the Gap of Dreams.

He first revisited his dream courtyard and then headed to the old site of the Dream Fairy Town.

Through the passage of the old site, he arrived in the Fairy Tale Subspace as an ethereal form.

As soon as he landed, he felt a flicker before his eyes.

Then, the surrounding scenery changed, and he found himself directly transported to the castle of the Fairy Tale Kingdom.

"Boss! You're finally here!"

When Lette came back to his senses, what he saw was the forlorn visage of The Liar Demon.

Seeing his sunken eyes and weary look, Lette was truly taken aback.

In the Fairy Tale Kingdom, who could exhaust the King of Fairy Tales, Pinocchio, to such an extent?

Before he could even ask, a weary Alice, clutching her little bear, came before Lette.

"Brother..."

"Alice, how did you end up like this too...?"

Seeing Alice on the verge of falling asleep, Lette felt keenly unsettled.

"Could it be the doing of Emily? What did she do to make you both so exhausted?

It can't be... that girl, though a bit mischievous, shouldn't have caused any major trouble here.

What on earth happened here?

The Liar Demon, explain in 140 words or less!"

The Liar Demon Pinocchio looked as if he was about to cry: "Boss, isn't it all due to that strange thing Emily brought?

Trying to decode the issues within it has nearly blown my mind!"

Lette widened his eyes: "The Dark Corrosion Beast King? No way!"
