"That's all I have to say, Your Majesty. Holy Light is universal, and the goddess loves everyone equally... I hope I can really help you, even if most people in this city are not devout believers..."

"Your Majesty, please consider my proposal carefully. I await your reply..."

After saying that, Isabella silently put on her cloak and returned to the team.

"...That's all, Your Majesty. We will take our leave now..."

Beatrice came to her senses and bowed slightly to Edo.

......

"Swan, what do you think about this?"

After the throne was quiet, Aido asked Swan beside him.

"Your Majesty, if you don't consider the underlying reasons, the church's proposal is indeed very tempting..."

"Let's talk about the deeper level..."

"Your Majesty, the sandstorm problem is indeed a problem that we cannot solve at the moment... After all, we can be said to be new here, while humans on the ground have been dealing with this desert for tens of thousands of years... They know this desert far better than we do."

"The church came here to show its strength and strengthen the confidence of the residents of Freedum... so that they can use peaceful means to invade the faith... this is the so-called 'appeasement'... If we agree to their proposal, we can indeed solve the sandstorm problem in a short period of time, but at the same time, we will also plant a seed of faith in Freedum... Over time, Freedum will sooner or later become a half-puppet of the church, just like several other countries on the continent..."

"Although I don't want to... but I have to admit that... humans' methods are really hard to guard against. They use both hard and soft tactics, and are both feminine and cunning... They are treacherous and capricious... Your Majesty should be very clear about the Darlington Mine incident last year. Even if the mine was recaptured, most of the mines had been completely destroyed by humans... 'Destroy if you can't get it' is also something humans can do, so Your Majesty, please be extremely cautious in making decisions on this matter..."

Swan's words are quite insightful, and they are also the experience accumulated from various investigations and work on the ground over the past year...

This is also the reason why Edo trained Swan as his successor.

"That makes sense. I thought so too... But having said that, in the short term, the sandstorm is still a problem that bothers us. The barrier can't be opened forever..."

Edo stroked his graying beard.

"By the way, Swan, how is the desert transformation plan going?"

"The clan leaders of several major clans are still discussing the specific plan, but...with all due respect, the effect presented may not be comparable to the power of that saintly girl...it is so surprising..."

Swan recalled the human girl who looked so polite and innocent just now. In front of everyone, she easily brought a dead plant that had withered for many years back to life...

That is simply a "miracle"...

Swan has reason to believe that this little girl can even bring the dead back to life...

It's not the soul-desecrating product of necromancy, but it's not pure holy light power either...

Now he finally understood why the Church of Holy Light brought this little girl here.

If the people of Freedum were to witness this miracle...

Ah... evil intentions...

......

"Well done, Beatrice."

"Hey, thanks for the compliment..."

"It would be more perfect if you were less dazed."

"..."

"Lord Menethil, with the miracles shown by the Saint, these dwarves can't help but agree..."

"It's just a little cleverness. The power of the Saint is far from enough to support your boasting. In the end, to solve the problem, we need to solve it from the root..."

"What the adults are teaching is..."

"Listen, Cardinal Medici, you have been too aggressive today. Although I am only a guard of the Saint, your actions are disrespectful to the Saint and even to the Goddess."

"This... I don't know where it is..."

Albert asked tremblingly.

"What did I say before we went into town?"

"Even towards pagans, one must be humble and polite..."

"So, being unpleasant with the city owner whom you first met, and bullying the weak after entering the city, is this what a cardinal should do?"

"But sir, they are demons, and their death is not a pity. Moreover, that little bastard dared to desecrate the holy garments of a cardinal..."

"That's enough, Bishop Medici. I don't want to hear these sophistry. Even if they are demons, you should respect them and then kill them... Otherwise, if you keep belittling your enemies, you will be the only one who gets belittled in the end..."

"Yes......"

Albert listened to the mechanical preaching of the woman in front of him, gritted his teeth and clenched his fists...

After all, he was from the Pope's family, but he was criticized by an old woman who had no support...

But in the entire church, she is the most devout in faith... and the most powerful...

Even His Holiness the Pope dared not say a word against her...

He is a veteran of three dynasties and has never made any mistakes in his life...

As long as she wants, almost all the armed forces in the church will obey her command...

There was no choice but for Albert to swallow his anger.

Compared to this... first find someone to kill the lowly creature who just offended me, and the lowly person who stood up for others but dared not show his face... Only then can I relieve the hatred in my heart...

......

"...After leaving the Kingdom of Faga, the Sword Saint went straight to the New World to fulfill his promise to his old friend, where..."

In the inn, Zhuora was still talking incessantly about Yan Ling's legendary deeds.

After listening to most of it, Yan realized that he really knew nothing about the teacher...

For example, I didn't know that the teacher was actually a noble lady from Sturgia, a small country north of the Marley Papal State when she was young...

I don’t know if the teacher was born with a physical defect…half of his body has been burned since birth…

I don't know if she resolutely ran away from home and became a wandering adventurer despite the pressure of being forced to marry by a big family...

I don't know that in just a few years, she traveled through the southern countries, and finally won the largest competition arena in the Kingdom of Fajia. She became a strong person favored by the king and was named "Sword Dancer". Afterwards, she refused the high position and generous salary provided by the king and left gracefully...

She abandoned her name, her family, and everything she once had, choosing to embrace an unknown future...

This is not something that everyone can do...

"Damn it...why am I the only one who knows so little...and so late..."

It's too late...

"That's right, who is Lord Karen? He's Shadow... ahem, anyway, it's not your fault that you don't know much..."

Zhuola still didn't notice that Yan was in a bad mood... and kept flattering Karen.

"Senior sister...it's okay. This is the first time we've heard of these things...after all, it happened so long ago..."

Sophia consoled.

"Um... that... Senior Zora..."

Beora came up to Zora and whispered something.

"what?!"

Upon hearing that the protagonist of the story was actually dead, Zora screamed uncontrollably.

"Impossible... Don't lie to me... How could that kind of existence... be possible..."

"How can it be......"
