This knight is too perfect

Chapter 92: Holy Light Secrets: Holy Light Protection [ words]

Late at night, Adrian's church hospital.

The church hospital is the largest and most advanced medical facility in Adrian.

Not only are there high-ranking church pastors stationed here all year round.

It is also equipped with a five-man team of church paladins.

Apart from the cathedral, these are the only two important missionary sites of the Church of Holy Light in Adrian.

At night, in the room of Silver-level priest Bilik.

"Please come in."

Hearing the knock on the door, Blick put down the case concerning Lilitha in his hand.

Soon, the door to his room opened.

When he saw the person entering the room, Bilik was stunned for a moment.

Then he smiled and said, "Good evening, Mr. Rhine. I wonder if you have something important to tell me that you came to see me so late?"

Rhine closed the door and politely responded, "Good evening, Mr. Bilik, I hope I didn't disturb your rest?"

Bilik smiled and shook his head, then stood up and made a 'please' gesture.

He signaled to Rhine that he didn't need to stand and could just sit and chat with him.

At the other party's invitation, Rhine did not hesitate and sat directly at the reception table in Bilik's office.

"What would you like to drink? Ordinary herbal tea?"

"It's all right. I have no taboos."

"it is good."

Blick skillfully boiled water and placed some jasmine petals in the cup in front of Rhine.

While waiting for the water to boil, Bilic asked, "Mr. Rhine, Her Highness Lilitha is still unconscious, and Mr. Jet is interrogating the eight-eyed believer you captured."

"If you don't have something particularly important to do, you probably won't find us, right?"

Rhine nodded and stated his purpose directly without any beating around the bush.

"Reverend Bilic, the reason I took the liberty of visiting you tonight is because I have important information."

"After discussing with Lord Jeter, I feel that we need to share this information with you and your Church of Holy Light."

"Because only you have the ability and qualifications to resolve this matter in Adrian."

Seeing Rhine's serious expression, Bilik immediately understood the importance of what he was talking about.

Soon, Bilik put away the relaxed look on his face and asked seriously, "Please tell me, Mr. Rhine. I want to know what is so important that you would visit me so late at night."

Soon, Rhine reported the population trade conducted by the Rust Mercenaries and their cooperation with the Holy Communion.

Even Master Remi was aware of the whole process and participated in it, and told Blick about it.

Of course, Rhine did not explain in detail how he knew all this.

Just say he has the key evidence.

After hearing this information, Bilik immediately understood why Rhine said that only he and the Holy Light Church behind him were qualified to solve this matter.

Because what is involved in this matter is very complicated.

There is not only Remi, the eldest son of Count Emerald.

It also includes many nobles in the Emerald Territory today.

Although Rhine himself is also from the Principality of Morton.

But his current identity as Lilitha's Guardian Knight meant that most of the time he would not be considered a citizen of the Principality of Morton, but of Akkad.

Therefore, although Rhine has already obtained evidence that Remi and the Rust Mercenaries are colluding with the Holy Communion Society.

But it was not easy for him to intervene.

It's very simple, there is no status.

In contrast, it is difficult for the Church of Holy Light to directly intervene in the affairs of the Principality of Morton.

But there is one exception.

That is, once they find any trace of the Holy Communion, they who have always claimed to be "righteous" will...

There are very sufficient reasons to take action.

But Bilik had already made up his mind.

But he was in no hurry to say it.

Instead, he asked, "Since Mr. Rhine said you already have solid evidence, why didn't you inform Adrian's night watchmen in advance?"

"You should know that the Night's Watch belongs to the Morton royal family and is not subject to the restrictions of other nobles."

“And the Holy Communion is an absolutely evil and extraordinary association that is deeply detested by every country.”

"So as long as you tell them about this, I believe they will take action."

Rhine naturally knew what Bilik said.

But he also knew the consequences of doing so...

"Reverend Billick, I believe in the church's attitude towards justice, but I don't believe in the Night Watch's position."

One is attitude, the other is stance.

Bilik immediately understood what Rhine meant.

"You mean, you're worried that the Night's Watch will tell Count Randy about this, and then let him decide for himself whether to punish Remi?"

Rhine nodded.

Indicate to him that this is what he meant.

After all, Rhine knew that everyone has their own personal feelings, and these personal feelings often have an impact on justice.

The duty of the Night Watch is of course to protect the safety of Adrian mortals.

But the Night's Watch is also a sword in the hands of the Morton royal family.

If the Night Watch knew about Remi and the Holy Communion.

They will most likely secretly inform the Morton royal family of this matter.

The Morton royal family will use this opportunity to exchange interests with Earl Randy.

In the end, Randy paid a price.

But Remi will also escape the judgment he deserves.

Therefore, if Rhine wants to put an end to this, he must put everything on the table and make it known to everyone.

There is no doubt that the Holy Light Church not only has such qualifications, but also has such capabilities.

The most important thing is that the church doesn't care about the pressure from the Morton royal family.

"It seems that Mr. Rhine had carefully considered the consequences of doing this before coming to me."

"Ah."

Bilik looked at Rhine who was sitting opposite him and fell into long thought.

Then he tapped his knees with his fingers for a long time and finally made a decision.

"Okay, Mr. Rhine, tell me the plan you have in mind."

"Although I know that you are willing to reveal this matter in its entirety, you must have other purposes."

“But just like we never hide the purpose of practicing the Holy Light, it is to spread the Lord’s faith to the world.”

"I personally don't mind being used as a pawn by you. After all, there is too much darkness in this world, and there are many places that cannot be illuminated by the Holy Light."

"Therefore, I and the Holy Light Church behind me are willing to do anything that can spread the great faith of our Lord."

Hearing this, Rhine looked at Bilik with respect and said sincerely: "Thank you for your trust and dedication, Pastor Bilik."

Bilik waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, I'm just doing what I should do."

In the following time, Rhine talked in detail about the auction that would be held in a manor outside Adrian in seven days.

And who are the people who might appear in this auction.

After hearing this, Bilik quickly made a decision.

"Mr. Rhine, no wonder you want to ask the church for help. Even if Her Highness Lilitha is not pretending to be sick, I think they can't interfere at will."

Hearing this, Rhine was stunned.

Because he didn't expect that Bilic actually guessed that Lilisha was pretending to be sick. This made him curious and asked: "Pastor Bilic, when did you find out?"

Bilik smiled and pointed to the bookcase next to him.

Rhine looked in the direction Bilic pointed and soon saw a pile of medical books densely packed on the bookshelf.

"Mr. Rhine, Her Highness Lilith's extraordinary accomplishments are indeed outstanding, but she underestimates a church doctor who has been wandering between life and death for many years."

"I really can't use extraordinary means to judge Her Highness Lilisha's true condition, but from the pathology, physiognomy, and even some other details, I have come to a very important conclusion."

"That means your highness is in good health, very healthy."

So it turns out that science has triumphed over the extraordinary?
After hearing these words, Rhine suddenly understood why Bilik guessed that Lilitha was pretending to be sick.

Fortunately, Bilic seemed to have vaguely guessed Rhine and Lilith's plan.

So he smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Rhine. I have not told anyone else about this, not even the church knights who are guarding me."

"Because as far as I'm concerned, neither Young Master Remi nor Young Master Ian is worthy of support."

"Especially the second young master Ian. He is so scheming that sometimes even I can't figure out what he is thinking."

"And such people are bound to do things that are unexpected, and are not the church's first choice for cooperation."

"Because I and the people behind me prefer stability to taking risks."

Rhine had no way of knowing whether Billick's evaluation of Ian was true or false.

After all, he and Ian didn't have much contact.

The limited contact was only at the dinner held to welcome Lilitha.

"Well, Mr. Rhine, these complex power struggles cannot be explained in a few words."

"After all, even though the Holy Light faith seems extremely pure in the eyes of outsiders, the church is actually divided into several factions, and each faction believes that the other's faith has deviated."

"I even suspect that if the Pope suddenly passed away one day, the current archbishops of the church would fight on the spot."

"This is true even for relatively pure faith, not to mention the human heart which is even more complicated than faith."

At this point, Bilik changed the subject and looked at Rhine with curiosity.

"Mr. Rhine, if I remember correctly, you seem to be a Destiny-side Extraordinary Person who controls Destiny, right?"

Rhine nodded and asked curiously, "Pastor Bilik, why do you suddenly want to talk about this?"

Bilik gave an explanation for this.

"Mr. Rhine, as someone who has embarked on the path of destiny, you should have noticed the peculiarities of the path of destiny, right?"

"Well, this is the only extraordinary profession among all the extraordinary paths I know of that is difficult to judge by source fluctuations. After all, fate is changeable. It can be fate, but it can also be something else..."

"Yes, Mr. Rhine, fate is fickle."

As he spoke, Bilick stood up and walked to the bookshelf and took out a church Bible.

Put it in front of Rhine.

"Your Excellency Rhine, I think you should have learned something about the special features of the Fate Side and the Church's attitude towards it from Her Highness Lilitha."

"But what Her Highness Lilitha doesn't know is that not all church leaders regard the Beyonders on the Destiny Side as either friends or enemies."

"It can even be said that those who have ill intentions towards the fate side are actually believers of the 'Unitarian' church."

"They advocate that the Holy Light is the only one, and that only those living under the Holy Light are equal. Therefore, anyone who can shake the Holy Light is a heretic."

"And the destiny essence that can be transformed into holy light essence is something that these people must subdue or eliminate."

"It's just that I personally don't agree with this kind of belief in holy light."

As he said this, Bilik pushed the Bible on the table in front of Rhine.

With a little curiosity, Rhine immediately looked at the Bible in front of him.

Bible Commentary·Redemption·Seventeenth Edition

"This is?"

Rhine looked at the book in front of him, which was obviously some kind of interpretation of the Bible, and asked in confusion.

Because he didn't understand why Blick handed the book to him.

"Mr. Rhine, although I haven't had much contact with you, I can feel that you are not a bad person by nature."

"Although we in the Redemption Party have no ill will towards you, the Destiny-side Extraordinaries, I cannot guarantee that you won't encounter church members from the 'Unity Party' and the 'Balance Party' in the future."

"The Holy Light believers of the Balance Sect are easier to deal with, because they advocate 'harmony with the light and dust', so their attitude towards the Fate-side Beyonders is neither good nor bad."

"But even so, they often don't show much favor to the extraordinary people on the fate side of the church. They are a neutral faction in the church."

"And the 'Only Faction' will be even more troublesome, because if the 'Only Faction' knew your identity as a Destiny Side Extraordinary Person."

"Then unless you can stay with Her Highness Lilitha all the time, they will only give you two choices, Hanyi or purification."

"It just so happens that the most powerful group in the church right now is the believers of the Oneness School."

"And if you want to avoid this unnecessary trouble, Mr. Rhine, it would be best if you could master some pure holy light secrets."

"This seventeenth edition of the Redemptionist Bible Commentary contains the Holy Light Secret Technique you need."

"As long as you can master the secret art of Holy Light, Mr. Rhine, even if you encounter members of the Church of the Only One in the future, they will not embarrass you."

Hearing this, Rhine immediately understood the importance of this book to him.

But why did Billick suddenly help him?

Looking at the confused Rhine, Bilik explained with a smile: "Mr. Rhine, as I just said, there are many subdivisions of faith within the church. As the only faction with the most faith and the greatest power in the church, where do you think most of their personnel in the Principality of Morton are concentrated?"

Hearing this, a flash of lightning flashed through Rhine's mind.

And without hesitation, he said: "The cathedral in the royal capital of Morton."

"Yes."

Bilik said with emotion: "The only faction that occupies the Imperial Cathedral has the ability to influence the decision-making of the Morton royal family to a certain extent."

“And once the prince they support sits on the throne of the Principality of Morton, a huge purge of heretics will inevitably take place in the Principality of Morton.”

“This is not the result we in the Redemption Party want to see.”

"But we cannot send anyone to the Imperial Capital, because this will arouse the hostility of the Unique Faction."

"But Mr. Rhine and Her Highness Lilitha are different."

"Because if I remember correctly, Her Highness Lilitha should be enrolled in the Royal Knight Academy in the Imperial Capital in September this year, right?"

"With the help of Mr. Rhine and Her Highness Lilitha, we the Redemptionists can also indirectly participate in the upcoming great changes in Morton."

"But Mr. Rhine, don't worry too much, because all this is still too far away. I am just showing my goodwill to you and Her Highness Lilith in advance."

After hearing this, Rhine basically understood Blick's intention.

So after thinking for a moment, Rhine picked up the "Bible Annotation·Redemption·Seventeenth Edition" on the table.

"I will convey the goodwill of the Redemptionists to Your Highness."

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Rhine."

After a brief greeting, the two ended their conversation for the night.

After leaving Blick's room, Rhine took the Bible annotation to see Lilitha.

Lying on the hospital bed, after reading this Bible commentary, Lilysa commented: "It's a very good book, but many of the views in it are too simple and one-sided."

"You can learn a little bit about the understanding of 'Holy Light and Redemption' here, but don't believe it too much."

"In addition, the Holy Light Secret Technique recorded here is indeed a very good secret technique for you."

"Because you really need some powerful defensive measures right now."

After that, Lilitha returned the book to Rhine.

After hearing Lilitha's evaluation of the book, Rhine almost understood how he should read the book.

With a little curiosity, Rhine simply read the first half of the book's understanding of "Holy Light and Redemption".

Then I focused on the second half, the explanation of the secret method.

And the name of this secret technique is...Holy Light Protection.

PS: I'm a bit stuck, and Fat Tiger needs to think about how to speed up the pace.

Because the pace at this stage does feel a bit slow.

That’s all I’ll write for today. I owe you one update. I’ll see if I can make up for it tomorrow.
