Mid-May.

A giant kingdom on the southern side of the Southern Continent - the Cress Empire, with its capital at Brilda.

No matter how warm and bright the seasons may seem to the city-state, no one notices that deep underground, an ancient city is slowly awakening.

If you get permission in the dark, you can traverse the long, dark road to the deepest part of the black palace.

Inside the palace, a figure walked, leaving a rhythmic footstep on the carpet.

Dressed in a dark green scholar's gown and top hat, his hair and beard were neatly groomed, he looked suave and looked as if he had never experienced a battle.

The dimly lit lamp in his hand cast a deep shadow on his body and around him.

Until they came to the black iron door of the council chamber and pushed it open.

The majestic council hall is dim, the candles on the edge replace the lights, the high roof seems to touch the sky, the end of the carpet is occupied by a banquet table tens of meters long, and each high-backed chair on either side is like a throne, and the top is inscribed with a gemstone totem corresponding to the chair owner.

As far as the eye can see, there are only two figures sitting on the seventh high-backed chair and the eighth high-backed chair in the main hall, waiting here.

They all looked at the comer—

"Corrupt Bishop Famer."

The Marquis of Heritier, who was in the seventh high-backed chair, spoke in her cold voice.

"I've done your commission."

The man in the dark green dress opened the suitcase and gently placed a sealed test tube on the table.

Even though it was a simple action, it alerted the two Marquis of the Blood Clan, and it was a sign that they would take action if they saw the slightest danger in Famer's behavior.

The motionless test tube contained terrifying alchemy creatures, and if Farmer shattered it in the palace, I am afraid that the palace would also suffer a lot of damage.

A moment later.

The Marquis of Heritier raised his hand slightly, took the test tube in his hand, and nodded.

"We will fulfill our promise in the near future, and then we will lead the Corrupt Branch to become a full-fledged member of the Crescent Empire."

The Marquis of Somerset, a sturdy figure leaning on the eighth high-backed chair opposite the Marquis of Heritior, said to Farmer with a little arrogance.

"Hmph, I'm looking forward to it."

Corrupt Bishop Farmer stood at one end of the long table, facing the Marquis of Heritier and the Marquis of Somerset, laughing calmly and powerfully.

In the current Cress Empire, in addition to the ninth-order blood duke and the eighth-order blood marquis, there are also two cardinals of the resurrection church who have allied with them.

Most of the Empire's generals are under control, and soon, they will be able to clear internal obstacles and accelerate their infiltration plans.

"But is it really necessary for you to do this in order to kill Miya's daughter? Even if the Eighth Order protects her now, she will definitely die. ”

Decaying Bishop Farmer asked with interest.

Previously, the Bloods even entrusted them with the Resurrection Church, but unfortunately, both the people who destroyed Bishop Ivanos and his corrupted Bishop Famer failed.

In the past six months, the thorn in the side of the blood clan, Miss Duchess Hubertian, has disappeared without a trace.

This made the blood clan who had been hiding behind the scenes begin to pay a high price for themselves at the expense of killing the weak girl.

"The more we can't kill that half-blood demon, the less anxious that eighth-order demon will be, her evolution speed is really a bit outrageous, and if we let her hide in the Cress Empire like this and continue to cultivate, the next time she comes to attack us, it may be the ninth-order."

The Marquis of Somerset sighed.

Ever since they captured Duke Miya, the silver-haired demon has not stopped, and when they caught the Blood, they tortured them to death, and even interrogated them of their underground palace.

However, as long as it can make her feel fierce hatred, no matter how she grows, she will never be the opponent of the third ancestor of their bloodline, the third ancestor, the most powerful in battle.

Duke Lachalle's power [Blood Control Heart] is located at the apex of mental magic and illusion magic, and the heavier the enemy's negative emotions, the easier it is for Duke Lachar to find a flaw in his mind and complete mind control and forced brainwashing.

However, the threat of the silver-haired demon was not the main purpose of killing the Duchess Huberian.

The real significance of the death of Duchess Huberian is to break through the mental defense of Duke Miya.

Only then can Miyaya become a slave of the Bloods and surrender all his original magic.

Duke Miya's dark magic is too good for the Bloodline.

Even during the day, it can be the umbrella of the Bloodline.

If the Ninth Ancestor, Marquis Bernhard, can be found, he will be able to absorb Miyaya and maximize his benefits.

"Oh? Is she as strong as me? ”

When the Corrupt Bishop heard this, he was immediately interested.

"Nope. But the next time she shows up, it may be. ”

Khritier listened to Farmer's seemingly modest but confident question, and replied.

Each of the cardinals of the Resurrection Church is indeed an incredibly powerful and terrifying human being, or in other words, Khritir has never seen such a strong human power in any era.

If it weren't for the immortality of their blood clan, I'm afraid they wouldn't be willing to easily provoke the mysterious organization of the Resurrection Church.

"Is it so strong?"

Corrupt Bishop Farmer nodded, his eyes burning with interest, as if he was eager to find an opportunity to capture this gifted demon and take it into his laboratory.

Farmer put away his suitcase, put on his top hat in one hand, and prepared to turn away, when he heard the voice of the Marquis of Helitir.

"By the way, have you changed anything recently in the Resurrection Church?"

"You ask me?"

Farmer asked with a smile and pointed at himself.

The blood astrologer would ask him for information.

“……”

The Marquis of Heritier didn't want to repeat it, and his eyes told Farmer that he wasn't joking.

The prophets on the northern continent had already begun to interfere with her.

The information between the two places is lagging behind and difficult to determine the authenticity, and it has been having an unknown impact on her observations recently.

Knowing as much information as possible about the current world will also help her proactively calibrate her next observation.

"On the North Continent, there seems to be a change of bishops."

Farmer pondered for a moment before replying.

"Who won?"

Heritir never cared about the loser, she only cared about who the winner was.

“……”

Corrupt Bishop Farmer shook his head.

According to the hazy text of the gods, they could only roughly read its meaning, but they did not know what it really was.

……

At the same time on the northern continent, the Protos Empire.

Helrom's glittering skyscrapers, ancient churches and extradimensional floating pavements coexist, and the night sky is not only a deep blue, but also occasionally a golden firefly, like a mirror that reflects the city.

In a private collection on the top floor of a high-rise building in the heart of the city, Sigrid leans quietly in a chair and looks out the window.

"My lord, I'll go back first."

Gloria, who was standing in the doorway, saluted.

Half an hour later.

"Oh, good."

Sigrid replied in an absent-minded voice.

“……”

Gloria listened to the bishop's listless response, and was about to say something, but quietly closed the door and retired.

Every day is indeed very busy, and Gloria, as the episcopal administrative secretary, is now very busy every day.

For them, being busy is actually a good thing, which means that the Protos Empire needs them, and the Deceptive branch and the Protos Empire are becoming more and more inseparable.

Now not only is their reputation among the people of the Protos Empire increasing day by day, but many of Rocky McCarthy's supporters are willing to invest their enthusiasm in their Tyrannical Branch, and more importantly, the Great Sage Isis has chosen to trust the Catholic Sigrid as a comrade-in-arms.

Even during the pursuit of Duke Morodyen, Isis had already learned some of the identities of Sigrid's three demonic summons, and later received a confession from Sigrid, who was willing to help Sigrid release the three direct soldiers who had been staying in Helrom prison in their alternate identities.

But Gloria knew that the Bishop wasn't tired from his work.

In the collection.

After Gloria closed the door, Sigrid sat in the empty collection, quietly looking at the night sky.

I don't know how long she's been in a daze like this.

"By the way, his Sage Testimony is still with me."

Sigrid seemed to remember something.

In the past few days, I have been busy forgetting that in order to use the unique [Sage Certificate-Silence] with the uniqueness to carry the [Sage Certificate-Silence] to take her through the station blockade of the Box Mountain Province, Lan Qi temporarily returned his [Sage Certificate-Overlord] to her for safekeeping, and melted it back into her bishop's card.

Sigrid hesitated for a moment and took out his [Bishop's Certificate-Deception].

Normally, she doesn't show her bishopric certificate.

Now when I was alone, I remembered a person, and I kind of wanted to see what he had left with him.

I still remember when I first met him, this bishop's certificate surprised him a little.

"Huh?"

Sigrid looked at the orange-glowing silver moon crown in his hand and let out a confused sound.

It stands to reason that if she defeats the Bishop of Silence, Asquesan, according to the rules of the Arena of Despair, her bishop certificate will be upgraded to a bishop certificate with dual votes.

Now his bishop's holy seal in the shape of a silver moon crown has for some reason become like the sun and the moon.

Obviously, the [Evidence of Resurrection-Deception] under his command has not changed, why has his [Bishop's Certificate-Deception] changed.

It wasn't until Sigrid gently snapped it that she found that the new seal had split into two seals.

"Wow, don't!"

She hurriedly put together the holy seals on her left and right hands in a panic, and the holy seals changed back to their original shapes.

"Whew-"

Sigrid breathed a sigh of relief.

She was so frightened that she thought she was too strong and broke her bishop's certificate.

After calming down and taking a closer look, I found that the two holy seals could be combined like keys, or they could be separated into two different holy seals.

So Sigrid once again took the seal apart and looked at his left and right hands.

In addition to her own original Silver Moon Crown, the other one looked like a glowing corona.

【Bishop's Certificate-Crazy Love】

You can open the Bishop's Chamber, the Arena of Despair, and the Bishop's Voting Ceremony. 】

[Note: Holder Sigrid Novia.] 】

"What is a mad bishop?"

Sigrid looked at the glowing corona in confusion, and then realized that he couldn't find Ranchi's [Sage's Evidence - Overlord].

She gradually became a little sluggish.

"No, wouldn't he be a cardinal like me?"

Sigrid put down the two holy seals in his hand in a daze and muttered.

It seems that it was because in that Death Arena, it was judged that she and the Son defeated Asquesan together, which eventually caused her bishopric certificate to become like this!

Originally, the heads-up between bishops in the Desperate Arena was an absolute conflict with the normal promotion route of killing bishops, but it seemed that because of her and the Holy Son's operation, it became an unprecedented misjudgment of the bishop's evidence!

She thought with a frown.

Although Ranch does not have a bishop certificate on him now, he is indeed a bishop.

The United Council of the Southern Continent Kingdom has a special ancient relic that can detect the general movement of the cardinals of the Resurrection Church, which is the official reason why they have been able to guard against cardinals for a long time.

But if Ranch became the new cardinal, he himself did not know.

The people of the Southern Continent will find that there is a super fierce bishop who has run to live in the Hutton Kingdom and rode the United Council of the Kingdom of Rid.

Then the Church of the Resurrection and the Church of the Goddess of Fate figured out their brains and couldn't figure out who this cardinal was!

But it shouldn't be a big deal.

Unless a war suddenly breaks out in the peaceful Southern Continent, and then Ranchi runs around again, it may be possible that all the countries will not know why a cardinal suddenly sneaked into their rear at once, and he does not understand the combat power, and all the plans of the various forces are messed up.

"Well, let's find an opportunity to go to the Southern Continent and return the bishop's certificate to him."

Although she can also use it, she always feels that since it is a pair, it will be better for one person to take one.

Before that, the Protos Empire in the Northern Continent still needed her, at least until the alliance with the Etherylan Kingdom was successfully concluded before she could leave.

It would take at least more than two months to go back and forth to the Southern Continent, and the Protos Empire simply couldn't let her leave for that long now.

But...... A year is too long, if you can go to the Southern Continent to meet him halfway, it is quite acceptable.

It doesn't feel like life is so hard anymore.

Sigrid held the two holy seals aloft, and through its brilliance, he looked at the colorful museum, the more he looked at it, the happier he became, and the corners of his mouth also hooked up a sweet smile.
