“Brother, don’t blame me. You look so suitable to be used for attacking practice.”
Monn smiled as he looked at the huge stone platform in front of him.
The Holy Power in his body was already surging. Monn raised his hand, and a terrifying aura instantly broke through the sky in the next second!
The ability of Holy Rank was unleashed, and its aura was so terrifying that it directly killed all the mosquitoes, mice, and ants within a radius of ten miles. Some low-level demonic beasts did not even dare to walk out of their nests!
Meanwhile, in front of the cathedral of the Orthodox Church of St. Servant.
Pope Andrew was talking to Vernal.
“Vernal, I watched you grow up myself. How did I educate you?”
Vernal lowered his head and said in a deep voice, “My heart is towards the light in the darkness!”
“That’s right, in the darkness…” Andrew sighed.
He had already understood the reason for the argument between Vernal and Monn. As for the gossip of those archbishops, Andrew knew what was going on when he heard it.
The strength of the Orthodox Church was respected!
Those archbishops felt that Monn did not fight much and thought that his strength had regressed. They even thought that he could not become a cardinal.
However, they did not dare to confirm it. That was why they came to Vernal, who was straightforward and hated evil.
They wanted to use Vernal’s hand to test Monn’s strength.
‘They put all their attention on scheming as a clergy. What a disgrace!’
Andrew snorted coldly and was extremely dissatisfied.
However, strictly speaking, those archbishops were not wrong.
Monn did go to work on time, and he did not go out to fight with the dark creatures.
What they said was all the truth, but they made Vernal furious by putting it in another way!
“Vernal, facing your heart towards the light when being in the darkness does not only require you to firm up your faith and not to be polluted and assimilated by the dark things.”
Andrew looked at Vernal kindly and continued.
“At the same time, it also requires you to believe that the light is the mainstream in this world, even if everything you see is dark!”
“Even if, you should indeed maintain your dignity and carry out the mission with a judgmental or malicious guess, as the prelate of the Judicial Department.”
“But, this kind of thought should not be in your heart all the time!”
“I heard that in recent years, you sentenced some of the clergies to death just because of neglecting their duties and not being serious in their work?”
Vernal listened to Andrew’s teachings, and his eyes revealed a thoughtful expression.
“Your Holiness…”
Vernal was about to explain when Andrew waved his hand and interrupted him.
“Vernal, there’s no need to explain. Since I’ve made you the prelate of the Judicial Department, I’ll believe in your insistence on justice.”
“I’ll support you no matter what kind of punishment those people received!”
“What I want to say is that when you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks into you too!”
“Vernal, do you understand?”
“Your Holiness… I understand.” Vernal put his hands on his chest, slightly bowed, and performed a church ritual solemnly.
He already understood what Andrew said.
He had seen too many dark things and had formed a habit of thinking that anyone was guilty.
That would cause him to subconsciously increase the punishment under certain circumstances.
It would also cause him to be in the situation he was in today, running over to find Monn to confront him without investigating the situation.
The Abyss was gradually eroding his heart.
“That’s good.” Andrew nodded, “In a few days… hmm?”
Andrew suddenly raised his head and looked toward the northeast as he was speaking!
“Your Holiness, what’s wrong?” Vernal asked in puzzled.
Andrew’s face was solemn. He said after carefully sensing for a few seconds, “A Holy Rank aura has just appeared about 50 kilometers to the northeast!”
“Holy Rank?” Vernal was shocked.
Based on the current situation on the Sallum Continent, almost every race and force’s Holy Rank existence had made themselves public.
Almost all of them were familiar with each other’s auras between the Holy Rank’s existences.
There was only one possibility for Pope Andrew to reveal such an expression.
That was, a new Holy Rank existence had appeared near the capital of the Kingdom of Kate!
“Your Holiness, have you not sensed the aura of this Holy Rank existence before?”
“No.” Andrew shook his head.
He raised his head after pondering for a moment. “Vernal, come along with me to investigate. We must at least know whether this Holy Rank existence is an enemy or a friend!”
“Yes! Your Holiness!” Vernal replied respectfully!
At the same time, in a majestic and magnificent great hall in the Royal Palace in the center of St. Servant City of the capital of the Kingdom of Kate.
A man dressed in majestic armor was sitting on the tall iron throne, listening to the reports of his subjects.
That person was the king of the Kingdom of Kate, Iron Thorn King Aldrich, the king who was at the prime of his life!
Beside Aldrich stood an elder dressed in green clothes, resting with his eyes closed. His hair was sparse white, and he was already old.
There was an ordinary saber hanging at the elder’s waist, and his hand was always on the hilt of the saber even when he was resting with his eyes closed.
At the same time, Pope Andrew felt that Holy Rank’s aura!
The elder suddenly opened his eyes, and a faint saber light flashed in his eyes. One might be injured by his gaze if they stared into his eyes!
The elder’s attainments in the saber could be said to be terrifying!
Swoosh!
An extremely terrifying aura was released and then withdrawn, but it had already attracted the attention of everyone in the hall.
“Iron Thorn King” Aldrich frowned. He knew this elder by his side the best. He would always remain calm no matter what happened.
He couldn’t restrain his saber intent?
What happened?
Aldrich asked the ministers to leave as he waved his hand. Aldrich asked when only the two of them were in the hall.
“Teacher, what happened?”
“I felt… an unfamiliar Holy Rank’s aura in the northeast!”
“How far away is it?” Aldrich raised his eyelids and asked in a deep voice.
“About fifty kilometers!” The elder whom Aldrich called his teacher replied solemnly.
“So close…” Aldrich’s eyes revealed a look of contemplation. He asked a moment later.
“Teacher, do you need me to send someone over to take a look?”
“No.” The elder shook his head. A fierce look flashed through his eyes.
“I’ll go!”
“You?” Aldrich was stunned. This teacher of his had hardly left the palace ever since Aldrich inherited the throne.
A dark demon dragon wreaked havoc near St. Servant City the last time. The elder was only a dozen miles away from the demon dragon and beheaded by him with a saber light!
“That’s right. This person’s aura is so strong that I’ve never seen it before!”
“He has probably reached the advanced stage of Holy Rank if I were not mistaken!”
“I can sense… some remnants of the True God’s aura in his aura!”
“How can I not go and meet such a person personally?”
“Hmm… teacher, I’ll send someone to protect you.” Aldrich pondered for a few seconds before finally speaking.
“Hmph, since when do I, Holy Saber, Errol, need someone to protect me? Stay in the palace and don’t go out for the time being. This place has the formation left behind by me after comprehending saber intent for more than ten years. Ordinary people will not be able to enter!” Errol, the elder who self-proclaimed himself as the Holy Saber snorted coldly.
