Sir, this is not how bad women are used.

Small parish,

Josephine and Therese have been taking care of some of the affairs recently, but they have not interfered too much. After all, Josephine has been dismissed.

Theresa's identity was still there, but she was in no mood to care about it anymore.

Now, the only ones who can take charge of things in the small parish are Galana and her companions. These people have the title of "S-level clergymen", which is enough weight for them.

However, managing such things requires experience, and they lack training in this area, so they manage things in a mess.

Josephine and Therese would only give some advice when they couldn't stand it anymore, and at the same time, they would ask them about the developments in the Central Diocese.

Josephine has cut off contact with the top management, but Galana and the others still have it, as the connections with the teachers are there.

Galana was still friendly to Theresa and the others, and she did not hide:

"I just contacted the teacher this morning, and he said that Pope Nimogebi has added a new group of senior officials."

Theresa, with her blond hair, frowned and asked incomprehensibly:

"Another expansion? Is he planning to make sure every clergyman has a place in it?"

Galana and Vera shrugged their shoulders. They generally thought the same thing.

If the goal is to recruit outstanding personnel into the church's upper echelons, no one will have any objection. As long as they are truly capable, no matter how many are recruited, no one will have any objection.

Only those old-fashioned people who are worried that their power and status will be diluted may oppose such behavior in order to protect their own interests.

But now it’s a bit too much. How can there be so many people worth recruiting?

Josephine would no longer be troubled by church affairs. She asked calmly:

"Which group has been expanded this time?"

"Our teachers, some powerful clergy seniors, and of course guards among the kingdom's nobles." said Galana.

Josephine thought about it carefully and understood the purpose of this move - to stabilize the personnel.

Perhaps it was the departure of the Pope of Discipline and the unusual movements in the city of Babel, as well as the outbreak of various situations in a short period of time, that had pulled the Pope of Gospel away from this place.

It even caused some people to become shaken and wonder what was going on inside the church.

At this time, giving them an official title and giving them a few words of praise can directly attract more people to join the team.

Extinguish the wavering flames in their hearts.

When Galana and others learned that their teacher had been suddenly promoted to a high-ranking official, they were naturally worried. They had not expressed any concern in the past so many years and only treated him as a reliable fighting force. This happened at this point in time.

This strategy really works for those veteran S-level clergymen!

Maybe they can also see the changes within the church, but... they grew up in the church.

To them, the church means home, not any interests.

When they were helpless in their childhood, it was the priests and nuns who took care of them and provided them with the companionship of family members.

After growing up, I also have memories of carrying out missions and going through life and death together with my clergy brothers and sisters.

These are enough to bind them to the church.

Theresa sighed deeply and asked:

"Besides that, is there any other movement?"

Vera hesitated, but decided to speak out:

"My teacher, who has been serving as the chief instructor of the Holy Knights, has received more information. He said that the Pope of the Gospel recently signed a papal decree to seize the forbidden objects of the Sanctuary of Discipline."

Theresa frowned. This was really crossing the line.

The Pope of the Gospel even dared to confiscate the house and even the Sanctuary of Discipline? !

Galana's face was full of surprise:

"What is the purpose of the monthly fee group 694936135? Does the Evangelical Pope want to have only one Pope from now on and not want the throne to be shared by another person?"

Theresa could not help but say to Josephine:

"Who says the Pope of the Gospel does nothing? Isn't this intended to be a world-shaking event?"

Some speculations are not convenient to say in front of Vera and the others, but Josephine, through previous discussions with Chu Yan and the others, feels that the Gospel Pope's move is to undermine the power of the church through internal friction.

The talk of ending the dual pope situation is all fake.

To have such a motive, one must first be greedy for power, but the Pope of Gospel obviously does not have that.

820

The starting point of his behavior is very clear, he does whatever he wants.

Then the papal decree he secretly issued this time was probably a sequel to the foolish decision he made when he first took office - another complete foolish decision many years later.

Back then, they curbed the church's rapid development in one fell swoop, and this time they probably want to completely cut off the church's momentum.

Josephine said, "Vera, can you persuade your teacher to reject this move?"

Vera shook her head helplessly. The Holy Knights originally obeyed the orders of the Pope of Gospel and it was difficult to persuade them.

Moreover, her teacher was only the chief instructor, not the corps commander, and had no military power.

Even if he is the legion commander, in the church system, every holy knight is directly responsible to the Pope of the Gospel. If the legion commander has a conflict with the Pope, it is hard to say whether the soldiers will pay attention to their own legion commander.

The discussion lasted until silence fell, and Theresa felt that she should go to Chu Yan's place.

This information is quite important to him, and he really needs those forbidden tokens.

The Sanctuary of Discipline controls so many forbidden tokens, and they are simply sealed up, so only Chu Yan can use them like a fish in water.

The benefits of the Sanctuary of Discipline's efforts over the years were directly reflected in him.

It just so happened that the Pope of Discipline had said before that she was staying at Princess Melissa's house, so I could pass on this news to her and see how the Pope reacts.

Just as Theresa was about to move to Chu Yan, several nuns trotted over and reported:

"Saint Theresa, there is a shipment at the door with your name on it."

"Ah? I didn't go to the auction house to buy anything!"

Theresa wondered, because usually only places like auction houses would deliver goods to homes, but she had hardly left the parish recently.

But it’s just a few steps away, so just go over and confirm it.

She went with Josephine to the rectory door to see who had brought the gift.

The porter politely said, "Please sign for your long-distance shipment!"

All the river cargo has arrived?

"Who sent the goods?" Theresa walked to the box and found that her name was indeed written on the information sheet nailed on it.

"I don't know about that. I'm just responsible for transporting the goods."

Josephine came forward and checked the information sheet together, and found that the type of goods was filled in with unfamiliar words.

Through the light, it seemed that there was something written on the back of the document.

She turned it over and saw the words "Witches' Society" written in the corner.

This is something sent by the Witch?!

And she directly filled in Theresa's name!

Theresa still remembered that Chu Yan mentioned that the weapon of the Imperial Princess Ye Na was something that the witch would deliver to her door.

"Come on, Josephine, let's go to your brother's place and call him over to talk. You will feel better only when you see him."

Soon, the mother and daughter clergyman arrived at the entrance of Chu Yan's evil dragon's lair, and happened to run into Chu Yan and a delicate maid standing on the street outside the door.

After seeing the man who called her "Mom", Josephine's brows gradually relaxed and her complexion looked much better.

However, she noticed that Chu Yan was staring at a large box in front of the door. The style of that box was the same as the one at the entrance of the rectory.

Josephine walked forward and opened the information sheet, and sure enough, the words "Witches' Society" were written in the corner.

"Chu Yan, the Witch Society also sent a large box to Theresa. It is now in the small parish. Have you contacted the Witch Society?"

"......ah?"

When Chu Yan heard what the nun mother said, he was stunned. She also sent a copy to Theresa?

He had just come back from a stroll with the maid and saw this thing thrown at the door. Xia Nuoya helped to sign for it, but the box was too big to bring into the house, and she didn't want to open Chu Yan's things privately, so she threw it in the small yard at the door.

Could this witch really be so outrageous?

He had just finalized the name "The Ash Society" with Pope Camilla, and the Witch Society contacted him immediately.

The error before and after does not exceed half a day.

Commander Deloya, who was in a nearby mansion, noticed something strange happening with Chu Yan from the window and came downstairs to check the situation.

"What's going on? Why are there so many people gathered here?"

Chu Yan said with a subtle mood:

"This should be a special gift from the Witch Society for joining the Ash Society."

Chapter 273: Sweating Profusely

Chu Yan has no clues about the contact with the Witch Society.

Because the Witch Club's actions are so purposeful, there are almost no reports of members being arrested for loitering. Whenever someone from the Witch Club shows up, they are bound to do something bad.

Shanoya had guessed about the Witch Society's strange overtures before. They expressed goodwill twice in a row, but there was no follow-up, so it was possible that they were laying the groundwork for a necessary situation.

If Chu Yan fails to meet certain conditions and it is difficult to benefit the interests of the Witch Society, then this mysterious organization will most likely not show up.

Chu Yan also informed Pope Camilla about this speculation.

There is nothing to hide. We have already decided to create a portal where all kinds of people gather. Why should we hide this anymore?

I just didn't expect that the witch would actually contact me on time, without any delay.

Chu Yan looked at the Discipline Commander next to him and said:

"Commander Deloya must abide by the previous agreement, temporarily put down the war, and stop fighting with the witch.

821

We will become enemies, and it will be very difficult for me to do this."

Commander De Luoya found it funny. This Chu Yan really was the embodiment of "taking something from someone else is a debt of gratitude" to the fullest. He hadn't even inspected the goods yet, but he had already started to speak well of the Witch Society.

She shook her head helplessly: "The Sanctuary of Discipline doesn't have the energy to deal with the Witch Society right now. Even if they wanted to target them, they don't have the spare time. Your worries are unnecessary."

Of course I know I'm worrying too much. Pope Camilla is so sane that she will definitely not make enemies on both sides. I'm just being polite... Chu Yan deliberately put on a relieved expression, already having the leadership style of a person in charge of the organization:

"I have to pay attention to the attitudes of all parties at all times, take precautions, and try to postpone all conflicts between us until the new world. I won't care if you fight until you are bloodied."

After the leadership speech, Chu Yan returned to his usual self. He paced around the big box and began to dismantle it. At the same time, he asked:

"Why doesn't the church system have prophets like the Witch Society?"

"Prophets are a minority of gifted people. It is useless to study hard, so each generation of prophets will have a gap of more or less ten or twenty years. The church had prophets before, but they failed and no successors were trained. They accidentally drove themselves crazy."

As De Luoya spoke, she became a little impatient when she saw Chu Yan dismantling the items carefully. She wanted to see what the Witch Society had sent over.

So she also went over to help Chu Yan.

This cargo box is a sealed box with wooden boards on the outside and nailed firmly in place, but it is very careless and does not use any magic circle to protect the things inside.

Chu Yan used to be very cautious about things sent by heretical organizations, fearing that they would get into trouble. But once he opened them, he found a huge and cruel bomb inside.

However, now he treated the things that the witches sent with more respect in his heart. After all, these were tokens of the witches that had been lost outside.

Even if Chu Yan was wary of the Witches' Society, he still had to show some respect to the witches' things.

Soon, the wooden boards were piled in the corner of the yard. Chu Yan pried open the lock of the black wooden box, clasped his hands on the lid and paused, as if he was mentally preparing himself.

Then, he opened the box in one go!

Placed in the box was an ancient headdress made of dark silver with a veil attached to it. This was something that Chu Yan was very familiar with.

——The standard outfit of the Witch of Sorrow!

Under the headdress, there was a phantom-like set of women's light armor, flickering, with no entity, only an image floating there.
