Chapter 2384 Interlude: [Light of Dawn]

Game time PM15:27
Sanctuary, City of Light, Central District, Holy Singing Choir [Light of Dawn]

"Little Mary."

The Dawn Cult's signature Saint, Xia Lian Zhuye, who was privately called the 'Behemoth Elf' by the Pope of Justice and the Pope of Wealth, stroked her chin and tilted her head to the dwarf woman sitting next to her, the head of the Dawn Cult's Battle Sisters' Abbey - Marina Acrylic, and whispered: "What do you think if I ask these girls to shorten their skirts by 20 centimeters..."

"No."

Although she had already passed her fortieth birthday, she looked at least ten years younger than her actual age. The quiet and gentle chief nun interrupted Xia Lian without hesitation and said sternly, "The Pope would not agree to such a thing."

Xia Lian frowned slightly and said hesitantly: "What if I beat him up..."

"Your Majesty will not agree to this either."

Marina shook her head helplessly, once again interrupting the person who was closest to her, whom she admired the most, who gave her the most headaches, and who she had no idea what to do with.

"Uh……"

Xia Lian pursed her lips and asked, "Do you mean he disagrees with 'I plan to shorten everyone's skirts by 20 centimeters', or does he disagree with 'I beat him up'?"

“No one will agree.”

Marina sighed and said helplessly, "The choir was personally organized by Her Highness Angel, the Saint of the First Origin. She is also the chief singer of the choir. Every hymn they sing carries the will of the goddess. When she sings, even images of the kingdom of God and the goddess on earth will appear. You should know that the choir's standard dress was designed by Her Highness Angel with herself as the model. In a sense, shortening the standard dress by 20 centimeters is no different from shortening Her Highness Angel's skirt."

Xia Lian rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "Where did you read all this crap? Let me tell you, although there are some valuable information in those scriptures, most of the content is specious. Although you can't help but believe it, you can't believe it all. Think about it, how many people can really hear the goddess' voice? How thick is the scripture? How can the content in it possibly be in line with the goddess's wishes?"

Marina shook her head and said seriously, "I didn't read it in a book, I heard it from someone."

"Heard it? Hey, do you dare to believe what you heard?"

Xia Lian grinned, hugged the apprentice to her arms, and said earnestly: "Little Mary, you can't listen to other people's nonsense. I'm afraid that only the goddess herself knows about His Highness Angel's affairs. Did the goddess tell him this news herself?"

"Yes."

Marina nodded, and before Xia Lian's words became more intense (or vulgar), she spoke first: "When I was six years old, you said that the goddess told you in person in a dream, and she even used her status as a favored person to vouch for it."

Xia Lian: “…”

"So no."

In addition to her duties as the head of the Battle Sisters, Marina, who is also the manager of the Holy Song Choir, emphasized again with absolute certainty, "I promised you that I would lead the choir well, so even if it's you who's asking, the size of the skirt is not negotiable."

Xia Lian: "What if I act like a spoiled child to you..."

"Neither!"

Marina gritted her teeth, her will firm and unwavering.

"But I think you've made some drastic changes since you took over the choir."

Xia Lian changed the subject and raised her eyebrows, "In the first half of the year, they worked with the Fortune Church to create something called a paid album, which made those stinky guys from the Justice Church and the Melody Church go crazy. The money they earned was enough to build a new chapel, right?"

Marina smiled implicitly, her face flushed as she added, "Some time ago, the Cult of Abundance also placed an order for a new album of 3,000 phono crystals to be distributed to various churches in the Holy Land. From what Archbishop Selina said, it seems that His Highness Philip left the phono crystals of His Highness Fialli that he borrowed from His Highness Avery in the No. 9 greenhouse under their chapel. As a result, the yield of the No. 9 greenhouse was a full half percent higher than the average of the other eleven greenhouses when it was harvested."

Xia Lian scratched her hair and asked curiously, "So Selena asked you to order our choir's new album?"

"Well, she also asked me if there was a lot of 'rock' in the new album. She seemed to like that style quite a lot."

Marina nodded vigorously and smiled, "After ruling out all impossibilities, even the most stubborn people can only believe that it was the phonograph crystal that helped increase production."

Xia Lian laughed in silence and complained, "Are they just stupid and rich or what? Why are they just guessing? Why not try using the crystal in another booth? It's too arrogant to just place an order directly."

"It's not that they don't want to try, but that album is Her Highness Fialli's personal collection. It was loaned to Her Highness Avery and then lent to His Highness Philip. They asked His Highness Philip to take it back a month before the Cult of the Abundance discovered the increase in production."

"Then change to other crystals. Didn't the Just Church buy a lot of them in the last album? If I were Selina, I would just ask you to ask that guy Gerbin for it. I guarantee that he will get it if you ask for it."

"Teacher, please stop teasing me!"

"I'm serious. Or you can ask Selina to go directly to Gerbin. For your sake, that stinky dwarf will definitely deliver the crystal to the Cathedral of Plenty and then stop by our convent on the way back to chat with you."

“…That’s it.”

"Huh? Really?"

"Really? Selina did ask Knight Fernan to borrow it, and he did lend it to her. On his way back, he did come to the convent to find me, but..."

"But what?"

Xia Lian's eyes lit up.

"But I was doing evening lessons at the time, and by the time I found out, he had already been chased away by Kachina."

Marina narrowed her eyes, covered her mouth and chuckled as she reported.

"Kakina is just too obsessed with her sister, and too competitive. She wants to be ahead of you in finding a partner."

Xia Lian shook her finger and said pertinently: "If you ask me, you should tell Gerbin directly next time that you will agree to date him as long as he can pass Kachina's test."

"But later I heard from Selina that the phonograph crystal that Princess Fialli lent to Princess Avery, and Princess Avery lent to Princess Philip, was specially made. It was said to be a super deluxe limited edition (GD edition), so the album she borrowed from Gerbin had no reference value."

Marina ignored Xia Lian's words and shrugged, chuckling, "So, in order to confirm whether our choir's album is really useful for those 'holy fruits', the Cult of Abundance can only pre-order the [Super Deluxe Limited Gold Edition] of the new album."

Xia Lian: "...Three thousand copies?"

Marina nodded happily: "Yeah, three thousand copies!"

"Tsk, tsk, 'three thousand copies' of 'limited edition'."

Xia Lian smacked her lips and sighed, "This (elf swear word) sounds like a trap set by that little bastard Fei Yali!"

Marina continued to nod and smiled, "Yeah, I think so too, and Selina thinks so too."

Xia Lian pulled the corner of her mouth and said in confusion: "Selina also knows? She knew and asked the Cult of Abundance to place a huge order of 3,000 yuan?"

"Yes, because Selina only knows that this is a trap set by Her Highness Fialli. I don't know if our album will really affect the production of 'Holy Fruit'."

Marina blinked and said cheerfully, "But she originally only planned to order three pieces, but Her Highness Fialli said that the [Super Deluxe Limited Gold Edition] would not be sold in retail, but only in bulk."

Xia Lian was confused at the time: "What do you mean?"

"It's just wholesale." Marina, who had been communicating with the Wealth Cult, raised her hand and held up three fingers: "The minimum order is 3,000 yuan."

Xia Lian's face froze, and she asked in astonishment: "What was Selina's reaction?"

"She was so happy."

Marina straightened Xia Lian's wrinkled neckline and said honestly, "I was so happy that I placed an order on the spot."

"?"

"In Selina's words, since Her Highness Fialli dares to do this, the so-called [Super Deluxe Limited Gold Edition] must be the real thing."

"That is to say?"

“The output will surely increase.”

"Good fellow, so those idiots from the Cult of Plenty who farmed till they were stupid got the yield, and those money-hungry people from the Cult of Wealth who wanted to sleep with coins in their asses got the money, and we are just the ones who worked hard to make wedding clothes for others?"

Xia Lian stood up suddenly and said through gritted teeth, "No way, girl, it's your business if you have a good temper, but I can't stand it. I'm going to find that little bastard Fei Yali right now..."

Marina coughed lightly and said calmly, "We will get 60% of the profits."

"That girl Fei Yali is really good at judging people!"

Xia Lian sat back in her chair at a speed worthy of a legendary warrior, and said with a smile on her face, "The Fortune Sect and our Dawn Sect will join forces to become bigger and stronger and create greater glory! We will give those bastards from the Sun Sect the position of the largest sect within the alliance..."

"cough."

Marina coughed again and added, "The Sun Cult has also ordered a batch of albums. The songs haven't been recorded yet, but the money has been paid."

"Praise Boss Tisu."

Xia Lian's face was stern, and she said an ancient common saying with righteousness: "The leader, you deserve it."

Marina: "..."

Xia Lian: “…”

I don’t know why, the two of them were just looking at each other and laughing, but then they fell silent without them noticing. Only the hymn choir that was rehearsing on the stage of "Light of Dawn" was left, still weaving the touching melody.

After a moment, the song ended.

"so……"

Marina broke the silence softly, and asked in a voice that only she and Xia Lian could hear: "Still no news about His Majesty Tifilo?"

"Who is Tifilo? Do we in the Dawn Sect have a beast called this?"

Xia Lian replied coldly, and after a long while she lowered her eyes and said with a sullen face, "Wang Yu told me that the bastard went to Dunbuya..."

"Dumbuya City?"

Marina's eyes widened and she exclaimed, "Are you going to see Pastor Heifan?"

"Yes, I went to Hei Fan to take care of someone's child."

Xia Lian nodded slightly and said unhappily, "The great astrologer Dammas Remidep is dead. Luke collected his body himself. Dammas' apprentice, a girl named Jenny, was sent to Dunbuya City by Luke. She is now the chief astrologer beside Heifan."

"This...this is too..."

Marina had never expected that the world-famous astrologer would have had any connection with the previous pope, and she had never expected that his apprentice would now work for Heifan. She took a deep breath. Even though she was a steady person, she was shocked to hear the news. She said with a confused expression, "I have never heard that His Majesty Tifilo knew the legendary Master Danmas."

"It's normal that you don't know."

Xia Lian clenched her fists, with an unstable golden light in her eyes. She gritted her teeth and said, "But the problem is, I don't even know about this!"

Marina hesitated for a moment and consoled him, "Well, I remember that Master Danmas is a man..."

"Dammas has both men and women."

Xia Lian interrupted Marina dryly, and after Marina's expression became interesting, she added: "Of course, the one that Tifilo is familiar with is indeed a man."

Marina immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but just as she was about to continue coaxing her mentor—

"but!"

Xia Lian raised her head abruptly, her eyes flashing with golden lightning and full of anger: "That stinky old woman Elphis just wrote to me, saying that she has sent her apprentice to Dunbuya City to help Hei Fan maintain world peace. God (Dawn Sect swear word) maintain world peace! Sending her (vulgar words) shit child necromancer to help another shit child maintain world peace, right!"

Marina was stunned for a moment, and said with some confusion: "Isn't this great? Reverend Heifan is an important member of our Dawn Sect. Now, not only do we have the help of His Highnesses Avery and Philip, but also the apprentice of Master Remidep and the disciple of Ms. Surk. You like Heifan so much, you should be happy about this."

"I'm happy! I'm really happy!"

Xia Lian waved her hands angrily and said angrily, "But guess what she said at the end? She said that Tifilo had just written her a letter some time ago. Although it wasn't too long, it still reminded her of her youthful years. Screw her (unbearable swear words) youthful years, that damn old woman was obviously trying to piss me off on purpose!"

"Well, if I remember correctly, Ms. Suerke is already married and has grandchildren..."

"Molesting a married woman, that beast Tifilo deserves to die!"

"I don't think His Majesty Tifilo would tease anyone..."

"Sister Xia Lian! Ah, hello, Sister Marina!"

"Forget about words?"

"Who said he (elf swear word) can't be tuned...Wang Yu? Why are you here?"

"I, I came to find Sister Xia Lian to deliver a message to you!"

"What news?"

"News from Dunbuya City."

"What the hell did Tifilo do this time!?"

"Your Majesty Tifilo? No, no, no, it's over there on the Cliff of Broken Head..."

"They even don't let lizards go!"
