My magic panel is too numerical.

Pharos was taken aback: "So, Miss Vena is a master?"

"While I'm certainly not as strong as Miss Chris, I'll gladly accept the title of 'expert' without hesitation," Miss Venus said with a grin.

Because Miss Christina did not want to confront the giants directly, the on-site command and combat tasks were entirely handed over to Miss Venere.

Pharos also wanted to see the fighting style of the Holy Sword Wielder.

At this moment, a male priest in white robes approached, carrying a black rod-like object, and said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency Venerable, the front lines still require your command. We would appreciate it if you could come over there."

"Okay, I know!" Vena replied helplessly. "Pharos! Think it over carefully!"

"Oh, right! Miss Venere! There's one more thing!" Pharos called out to Venere, "There's an innocent little girl inside!"

Venere nodded and then disappeared into the group of people in white.

What a busy person!

Pharos couldn't help but feel nervous.

He had originally wanted to ask how to use the Holy Sword's "exclusive skill," but it seems he'll have to postpone that now.

"Mr. Pharos?" the priest suddenly spoke up. "This was sent to you by Miss Christina."

"This is?"

"Miss Christina said that this was the original scabbard of 'Raven'."

Pharos took a look and indeed found it to be a perfect match for the raven.

"Thank you, sir," Pharos said politely.

According to Miss Christina, the "Raven" sword was originally a one-handed cross-shaped longsword, which was forcibly modified into an umbrella sword by Detective Simon.

However, the hilt of the longsword can only be fitted at a specialized blacksmith shop.

"Oh? I heard you're a new apprentice priest?" The male priest looked Pharos up and down. "Not bad, you've already hooked up with Miss Vena right away."

"Is there a problem?" Pharos glanced at him. What did this guy mean? Was he trying to cause trouble?

Seeing that the young man in front of him had some misunderstanding, the male priest lowered his voice and explained:

"I'm here to remind you that Viner's identity is sensitive, so it's best to stay away from her. Strictly speaking, she's not a member of any church."

Was Wiener not a member of the church?

Pharos frowned: "What do you mean?"

"Hey, you don't know, Miss Venus's surname is actually Edwards, you know Edwards?" The male priest said in a cryptic tone, taking out a match, lighting a cigarette, and putting it in his mouth. "Want a smoke?"

"Sorry, I don't know how..."

Pharos's current understanding of the Empire is limited to the concept of "three major powers dividing the Empire into three parts," and he is not clear about the specifics.

"If you don't know how, you can learn..." The male priest took a deep drag and exhaled a smoke ring, clearly an expert, and said:

"All you need to know is that Vina isn't a proper priestess. Castilian city is strict, and rumors aren't allowed to be spread, but everyone in Dawn Town knows that Vina is just here to gain prestige."

"Gold-plated?" Pharos chimed in.

"She was the only person in the entire city of Castile who moved between the church and the 'academics,' and her father was a big shot in the 'academics.' It is said that her mother used to be a clergyman in the church."

"It is said? Why is it said?"

"Because Vena was an illegitimate child. Rumor has it that she was ostracized by her family and had no choice but to seek refuge in the church."

An illegitimate daughter? Pharos keenly sensed a melodramatic plot twist.

People love to gossip, especially when it involves a pretty girl.

"Then why stay away from her?" Pharos pressed.

"Because her mother's identity was dishonorable, she defected from the church. Do you know the Holy Temple Academy in Dawn Town? It was originally built for Vena's mother. She was a rare contemporary 'saint' in Dawn Town, but later that 'saint' had an affair with a big shot in the 'academy' and was expelled from the church."

Faros was instantly shocked; he had no idea that the Holy Temple Academy had this past. Intrigued, he asked:

"Where did this news come from?"

"It's just a rumor, nothing more!" the priest said, covering his mouth. "No one can confirm it, but think about it, the 'academic' school is at its peak right now, so why would a big shot want his precious daughter to join the church? Isn't it just to get some prestige so she can go home and face her ancestors?"

The analysis is well-reasoned and supported by evidence.

Pharos was slightly shocked. Although the truth of this rumor was uncertain, he had certainly enjoyed it.

"So...Miss Venere had this other side to her story?"

The male priest stared at Pharos with his uneven eyes, making Pharos very uncomfortable.

The priest said, "You don't even know this? And you dare to get so close to her? This woman is caught in the middle, pleasing neither side. I suggest you stay away from her."

Pharos nodded and immediately extended his right hand: "You're very talkative, it's a pleasure to meet you! Pharos Hastings, just call me Pharos, may I ask your name, brother?"

This guy's an intelligence broker! You'd be missing out if you didn't know him!

The male priest's mouth slanted upwards, turning into a dragon king's mouth: "Church of Dawn - Erdgo, known as 'The Overlooker'."

Is this a gossip observer looking down from above?

Pharos's eye twitched.

"Oh dear, I have quite a few friends, and as many people trying to get information out of me as Miss Christina has suitors, but I have an unwritten rule," Erdgaard said, keeping everyone in suspense.

"Regulation?"

"Want information? Sure! But I don't accept such vulgar things as rune trading. You'll have to exchange other information for it."

"What a gossip queen..." Pharos thought to himself.

…………

"Knock knock knock..."

"They're here." Daisy and her sister Lynn finished lunch and went about their own business.

Is it Iris who's back?

Daisy had been worried that Iris might be trapped somewhere by the heavy rain.

It seemed she was back, Daisy excitedly opened the door.

The old wooden door creaked, but the person standing in the doorway was not Iris, who always wore a hood, but a priest in white robes.

This is also a beautiful woman. She has neat short blonde hair that reaches just to her chin. Her chubby face has a touch of girlish innocence, but her temperament is like that of a kind and gentle girl next door.

She wore a pure white, long-skirted priest's robe with a short priest's cape. Her body was slender and shapely, with curves in all the right places.

"Excuse me, who are you looking for?" Daisy didn't recognize the pretty woman and asked blankly.

"I'm looking for Lynn. Is she home?" Miss Vina smiled gently.

Daisy thought Miss Venere's smile was like that of an angel, and given that her sister did indeed work part-time at the church and had a female priestess friend, it shouldn't be surprising.

She lowered her guard and called out into the house, "Lynn, someone's looking for you."

In the cramped kitchen, Miss Lynn popped her head out and asked, "Who is it?"

But when she saw that it was a white-robed clergyman, their eyes met and their pupils instantly contracted.

Miss Daisy suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, and then she was pulled back by a tremendous force, with one hand grabbing her collar and yanking her backward.

"Ah!" Daisy stumbled and fell to the ground.

She turned around, puzzled, not understanding what had happened... but she was stunned!

The priestess in front of me lifted the hem of her priestess robe, revealing her white thighs and black safety shorts, and drew a thin sword that gleamed with golden light from her waist.

She lowered her body, kicked off with both feet, and her previous gentleness and kindness vanished, replaced by fierce and wide-ranging movements.

In an instant, the rapier she held shot forward at high speed, viciously plunging into her sister Lynn's chest.
