"This news..." Xia's expression was a mixture of relief and headache: "I really don't know if it's good or bad."
The good news is that the Archbishop, who holds the most dangerous position in the Gospel Church and is in charge of the Gospel of Pride, is currently suspected to be out of town.
The bad news is that this being in the dungeon beneath Mona City is up to some sinister scheme.
And most importantly, with such a super landmine hidden right under her feet, how could Xia ever sleep peacefully again?
Just as Sia was having a headache, Seria chimed in and asked:
"Then why did you come to Mona City and deliberately impersonate the Grand Scribe?"
"Because it is the librarian's order."
Lilia said without hesitation.
Then, Lilia turned her head and her gaze fell on Fiona:
"Although it may be a bit shocking to you."
"However, based on my current understanding..."
"The former princess of a certain orc kingdom, who was once defeated by your uncle, has become my superior, the 'scribe' of the Arrogant Gospel of the Gospel Society."
Fiona was stunned upon hearing this.
Chapter 86 The Beast World is Truly Chaotic!
"Who...who were you talking about again?"
Fiona, looking puzzled, grabbed her wet hair and said blankly.
“Your aunt?” Lilia looked at Fiona strangely. “If she weren’t your relative, how would I know about your affairs?”
"To be honest, if it weren't for the information about you in the intelligence documents about Mona City that the lord gave me, I wouldn't have thought of this."
“That’s not what I meant,” Fiona said, looking conflicted. “What I meant was, my grandfather had over sixty aunts, who are you talking about?”
The room fell silent after he said that.
"More than 60?" Lynn was stunned when he first heard about this. "Even pigs don't reproduce that many times!"
However, the knowledgeable Celia remained quite calm about this:
"That's normal."
"The enthronement ceremony of the Lionheart is to defeat or even kill the previous Lionheart."
"In this process, in order to ensure that the representatives of other clans who were taken as wives by the Lionheart would not be affected, many new Lionhearts would follow the example of the previous wives and have their children executed."
"Is it that hardcore?" Upon hearing this, Lynn immediately thought of the science programs he had watched on Animal World.
It seems that lions do indeed have this 'survival of the fittest' 'custom'.
"So... when you talk to me about aunts, I don't really feel anything."
Fiona picked up the towel again, calmly drying her hair, and said:
"There are so many people, and they're all so annoying, who would remember who's who?"
"I can't even recognize all my older and younger siblings, so how could I possibly remember any aunts?"
Lilia scratched her head, then lightly bit her lower lip and said:
"...He was the one who once tried to challenge the Lionheart, but was defeated."
"Huh?" Fiona was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly realized and said, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
"Oh, it's Leona? She's not dead!"
"I thought Dad had killed her..."
Lilia nodded, and said seriously:
"Not only is he not dead, but he also seems to be planning a counterattack under the guise of avenging your father. Well, of course, this is just my personal speculation."
“A counterattack? Impossible.” Fiona said without hesitation, “Leona’s bloodline is mostly inherited from her mother, and her father even doubts that her children are likely to inherit Lionheart’s bloodline in the future, so he refuses to take her into his harem.”
"With such poor bloodline, how could she possibly become the Lionheart?"
"Her chances of becoming the Lionheart are not as high as mine."
Thinking of this, Fiona suddenly fell into deep thought, seemingly lost in thought about something.
However, Lynn was shocked while Fiona was thinking.
Wait a minute, sis, did you just say something explosive?
Lynn suddenly turned his head to look at Fiona and asked, "What do you mean, 'Your father refused to take your aunt into his harem'?"
"Then you'll have to ask her directly. After all, I don't know what she's thinking."
"Lilia spread her hands and said with an innocent look on her face."
“However…” Lilia then looked at Fiona with a meaningful gaze, “There’s something I need to remind you of.”
"The Evangelical Fellowship is very skilled at things like bloodline conversion."
Upon hearing this, Lynn immediately became alert: "You mean, Fiona's aunt might be searching for her because she wants to obtain Fiona's bloodline?"
Lilia hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's not convenient to say, since I don't know much about it either."
At this moment, Fiona, who had been thinking for a long time, suddenly slapped her forehead and said:
"Ah, I remember now, Leona's mother, isn't she Phantom?"
Upon hearing this, Lynn immediately fixed his gaze on Lilia.
Xia, who was standing nearby, also joined in the fun, saying sarcastically:
"Heh heh, you're already trying to renege on the contract after just signing it?"
Lilia glanced at Sia speechlessly: "Are you so vengeful? I've already generously forgiven you."
Xia was taken aback. Had she done something that needed to be forgiven?
Just then, Lilya scratched her head, turned to look at Lynn, and said:
"How should I put it...."
"Leona's mother is indeed a phantom, and her relationship with the previous Lionheart is similar to that of me and you."
Lynn raised an eyebrow in surprise. Was it similar to his relationship with Lilya?
So, does that mean Fiona's grandfather, the Lionheart from two generations ago, was also discovered by Phantom and became her partner?
"Friendly reminder," Lilia said with a smile, holding up a finger. "Fiona's father killed her grandfather and inherited the Lionheart's throne."
"A further reminder: the vast majority of phantoms will only choose one contractee, and once the contractee is killed, most phantoms will choose to seek revenge."
"Then, Leona's mother was one of the few who didn't choose revenge, but it's unlikely she didn't..."
"After all, that person is still in Uncle Fiona's harem."
After hearing these secrets about the orc royal family, Lynn's mouth gaped open, completely dumbfounded.
So, it was Fiona's father who killed her biological father, and then her biological father's concubine, in order to take revenge, seduced another young son and completed the revenge killing?
Then, the concubine's daughter, under the guise of avenging Fiona's father, wanted to kill her half-brother who was having an affair with her biological mother.
"What the hell is this?!"
Hearing Lynn's words, Celia nodded in deep agreement and said:
“This is what a short-lived race is like, one that only believes in God and does not record history.”
After speaking, Celia turned her head and glanced at Fiona:
"But now that we know who is looking for you, things will be much easier."
"Huh?" Fiona hesitated. "Should we hide? Leona isn't strong either."
At this moment, Sia reminded her, "Don't be careless. Most of the clerks in the Evangelical Fellowship have the ability to fight against demigods."
“This…” Fiona was speechless.
Demigod? Leona? She couldn't connect those two words in her mind at all.
After all, in her impression, Leona always talked a lot but actually seemed weak.
After giving the reminder, Sia glanced at Lilia, rested her index finger on her chin, and said thoughtfully:
"However, it turns out you are a scribe associated with illusions and demons. No wonder you can be ordered around by someone like you."
"But why would the scribe from the orc kingdom's royal family send you here to impersonate the Grand Scribe of the Night?"
"That shouldn't be hard to guess, right?"
Lily blinked and looked at Sia with a strange expression, saying:
"The Grand Secretary has disappeared, and this has been kept secret. Is this situation really that hard to guess?"
Sia frowned and said unhappily, "But the problem is that the most important condition for becoming the Archbishop of the Evangelical Fellowship is to obtain the 'Gospel' of the Underground City."
Just then, Lynn suddenly said:
"Could that so-called gospel be hidden in Knightworth's treasure?"
Upon hearing this, Xia was completely stunned.
Lillia stared wide-eyed at Lynn, completely dumbfounded.
How did you guess so accurately?
Chapter 87 I Have No Objection to Her Becoming the Eldest (Fourth Update)
Upon seeing Lilya's admission, Lynn scratched her hair as if in a headache:
"So, you had Jeken produce inferior dragon blood so that you could obtain the Gospels for that librarian, Fiona's aunt?"
Lilia gave Lynn a strange look, then raised her little hand and waved it, explaining:
"Let me correct that."
"My task is not to obtain the Gospels, but simply to confirm whether there are any treasures left behind by His Excellency the High Priest in that treasure trove."
Lilia shrugged and said:
"Of course, some people within the church speculate that the treasure that was left behind might be the Gospels, but no one can give a definite answer."
“Some people think so?” Xia took a deep breath, clutching her chest, and said, “I have a bad feeling.”
Some within the Gospel Church speculate that the Knightworth family's treasure is the Gospels left by Archbishop Midnight... What's the difference between that and putting a crown inside?
Wouldn't all the powerful figures in the Evangelical Fellowship, who aspire to become high priests, rush to Mona City like madmen?
What kind of nonsense is this?!
"It's become a complete hotbed of trouble!" Celia sighed beside her.
"What's going on? How did it suddenly become a place of trouble?"
Fiona scratched her cheek, her expression suspicious:
"But isn't the most crucial question now why the Archbishop would leave something in the Knightworth family's treasure?"
Lynn then calmly said, "I guess it's because that archbishop's surname is Knightworth?"
Lillia, who had originally intended to explain things to Fiona, was now shocked:
"No, Lynn, how did you guess it again?"
"Hehe, just think of me as someone who's smarter."
Lin Enqian chuckled and said dismissively.
If he could, he wouldn't want to think about these things.
However, after hearing Lilia and Fiona's words, the analytical power of the Dragon of Knowledge within him automatically sorted out the situation, ultimately leading Lynn to this conclusion.
Why is Cohen so insistent on cooperating with the Evangelical Fellowship? And why does he claim that the treasure holds the secret to destroying Knightworth?
