Versatile Mage: Summoning Black Dragon, the pinnacle of divine power

Chapter 17: Holy Shadow
……

"I can only help you call Shengying over, but whether you can let them serve as your bodyguards depends on your own ability."

Remiel led Caesar to the other side of the palace.

"Why?" Caesar asked puzzledly.

"The Archangel couldn't call out to Holy Shadow?"

"If it was an order to eliminate heretics, I would just need to give it, but this mission is of a different nature," Remiel said.

"Besides, Holy Shadow has its own organizational structure. Even if I am an archangel, I have no right to interfere."

"What do you mean?" Caesar asked.

"You can understand this by the relationship between the Holy Inquisition and the Abnormal Inquisition," Remiel said.

"The Holy City is like the Holy Court, responsible for most affairs and having the highest authority to make judgments."

"And the Holy Shadows are similar to the Court of Inquisition. Although they are also under the jurisdiction of the Archangels, they have a high degree of autonomy."

"As for your matter, the most I can do is to help you speak up. Whether they are willing or not is not something I can decide."

"Besides..." Ray Milton stopped and turned around.

"Have you really thought it through?"

If it was an ordinary forbidden spell of the Holy City, Parthenon might have been able to incite rebellion and win it over, so when he first heard Julius' request, he directly refused.

But Holy Shadow would never betray the Holy City.

He couldn't understand Julius's train of thought as he deliberately placed a spy next to him.

As a person standing at the top of the Parthenon, how could he be willing to be monitored by someone from another force?
To be honest, he had no objection to this matter, but Julius's suggestion was too abrupt, causing him to be unable to react.

But from the perspective of the Holy City, exchanging a Holy Shadow for the safety of the Son of Parthenon is absolutely worthwhile.

"I know you can't understand why I would want to keep a holy shadow by my side to monitor my every move." Caesar said.

"But my purpose is very simple. I just want to find a bodyguard who can guarantee my safety. Otherwise, Merola and the others won't let me go out."

"You don't have to speculate whether I have other plans for this matter. If you insist on saying that I have any ill intentions..."

"I want to try and see if I can kidnap your Holy Shadow."

Remiel's eye twitched.

Even though it sounds outrageous, if it was this kid...it suddenly makes sense.

……

After a while, Remiel summoned the Holy Shadows who stayed in the Holy City and conveyed Caesar's request to everyone.

"Remire, you want Shengying to be a bodyguard for a child?" A man who looked to be in his forties frowned slightly.

"Or the Son of God of the Parthenon?"

"This is his request, I am only responsible for conveying it." Remiel said lightly.

"Whether you accept it or not is up to you."

If you must say, these Holy Shadows have more seniority in the Holy City than him. Although he, as an archangel, is higher in status than the Holy Shadows, the Holy Shadows are all the best in forbidden spells. Each of them can independently release forbidden spells and restrain the emperor's top combat power. Each Holy Shadow is very important to the Holy City. He does not have the power to force the Holy Shadows on such matters.

Moreover, if things like bodyguards are arranged by force, accidents are bound to happen.

"Then I refuse." said the middle-aged male Saint Shadow.

"Saint Shadow needs to guard against the Demon King and keep an eye on those ambitious people with ill intentions. He doesn't have time to play house with a child."

"I refuse too."

"I do not have time."

"Not interested in."

"..."

In less than ten seconds, more than ten holy shadows present expressed their attitudes.

A unanimous rejection.

No matter how noble the Son of God of the Parthenon is, he has nothing to do with the Holy Shadow.

They are the holy shadows of the holy city and only believe in their Heavenly Father.

"Did you see it?" Remiel turned to look at Caesar.

"I said it was impossible." "She hasn't spoken yet." Caesar looked at the edge of the team and saw a black-skinned woman in a peacock robe.

"???"

Remiel was confused.

The holy figures lined up in a row were also stunned.

Do you know who she is?
"Me?" The female Saint Shadow was slightly stunned, as if she didn't expect Caesar to look at her.

"Don't be too outrageous." Remiel interrupted Caesar.

"She is the Holy Shadow Leader, the highest leader of the Holy Shadow Organization. Her status in the Holy City is second only to the Archangel. Even I am not qualified to give her orders."

"Oh~" Caesar nodded.

"So, she is the most powerful one here?"

Remiel was speechless, "What do you think? I am no match for her."

"Are you such a waste?" Caesar asked strangely.

Remiel's face darkened. "There is no necessary connection between position and angel soul level or strength. Archangels are not necessarily stronger."

Archangels are managers, not fighters, just like the priests and judges of the Holy Inquisition. Many archangels who have returned to the Holy City are even weaker than the archangels.

And Fal is the strongest among the Holy Shadows of this generation. With dual forbidden spells and the cultivation of a ten-winged angel of punishment, she is the most powerful existence in the Holy City besides Raphael and Uriel!
He didn't know what level Raphael had reached, but Uriel was definitely stronger than Farr.

"Oh." Caesar didn't say anything to Remildo and walked towards the female Saint Shadow Fal.

"Do you want to?"

Seeing Caesar asking a lady to dance as naturally as if he were at a ball, Farr couldn't help but laugh, "Are you serious?"

"Of course," Caesar said.

"Not to mention that they don't want me, I don't like them anyway."

"Didn't you hear what Remiel said about my identity?" Farr said.

"I am the Holy Shadow Leader, the supreme leader of the Holy Shadow Organization, and one of the few people standing at the highest point of the Holy City."

"You, want me to be your bodyguard?"

"It's not a bodyguard, it's for world peace." Caesar said seriously.

"Peace?" Farr smiled with interest.

"What kind of peace?"

"I am the Son of God Parthenon. My every word and action has a huge impact on Parthenon. As the Holy Shadow of the Holy City, you have such a good opportunity to monitor my every word and action, to prevent me from doing anything wrong or going astray, and even to guide me towards the Holy City. Isn't this for world peace?" Caesar said seriously.

"Guide?" Fal raised his eyebrows.

"Do you want me to be your teacher?"

"If you have this idea, I have no objection," said Caesar.

"Wouldn't it be better for you to stay in the Holy City?" said Farr.

"You will better understand the work of the Holy City through observation and listening, and it will be easier for me to teach you."

"But I am still young. I should see more of this world, just like Remiel did before," Caesar said.

"If Remiel had not walked the world for decades, would he have become the highly respected archangel he is today?"

"That makes sense." Farr nodded, seeming to be really thinking about the feasibility of this matter.

Seeing this, the expressions of the Saint Shadows looked somewhat strange.

When did Farr become so good-tempered?
What does Shengying do?

In charge of dark punishments, specializing in dealing with things that cannot be seen in the light!

As the leader of the Holy Shadows, Fal is the dark hand among the dark hands!

In some ways, the Holy Shadow is a far darker existence than the Black Church!
Is the Son of God of the Parthenon crazy to let such a holy shadow follow him?

Remiel's expression on the side was even weirder.

Highly respected?

That's not what you said when you threatened me just now!
