Chapter 484 - 464: Lanci and Sigrid’s Moonlight Conversation_1
"I initially came to the Northern Continent just to complete a quest. Everything that has occurred up to now has actually exceeded my expectations, but I’ll pass on the offer to become a Cardinal Bishop."
Lanci continued to laugh and exclaim.
He had seized the [Certificate of Rebirth] in the Southern Continent to infiltrate the Rebirth Church in Northern Continent. Initially, he agreed to join Sigrid because he found her to be quite likeable. However, he had never considered joining the Rebirth Church in South Continent.
Being able to unbind a Pink Holy Level [Saint’s Testimony] was one thing. But it would be a lifelong commitment if an Orange Epic Level [Proof of Bishop] was involved.
"Sigh, should I say you’re greedy, or that you simply lack desire?"
Sigrid shook her head, commenting.
The biggest difference between her and the Saint Heir was that she had unlimited ambitions while the Saint Heir was prone to being motivated to a level that matched the current state of chaos.
If everything was peaceful, he’d become an idler who would rather not do anything at all.
"You should know that an [Proof of Bishop] is an epic-level item that many powerful individuals covet. It evolves into a seal that’s unique to you, and is a material highly attuned to your rank. It cannot be destroyed. Don’t say I didn’t warn you,"
Sigrid added.
Epic-level materials aren’t treasures that can be bought with money. Other than the real world, where they could be found through incredibly complex clues, one could only find them in the Shadow World. But procuring materials suitable for oneself would be an even greater challenge.
"Could I not fetch one from the Shadow World?"
Lanci pondered, then asked.
"If you’re exceptionally proficient in navigating the Shadow World, of course you can,"
Sigrid hesitated for a moment before nodding.
Even though the Shadow World was not a main theme for them here in the Northern Continent, since the Saint Heir had used the word "fetch," it was clear that he was quite adept at navigating it.
Anyway, the Saint Heir was still far from reaching the Seventh-order. He wasn’t very fixated on improving his strength through training. The main way he would reach the Seventh-order was through the Shadow World.
"So, what are the specific benefits of the [Proof of Bishop]?"
Lanci had only seen her Silver Moon Crown seal which was glowing with an orange brilliance, back when Sigrid caught him. But, he couldn’t tell its specific effects.
Most creatures would prefer that such a disaster doesn’t descend upon the real world.
This was the reason why the Shadow World must be addressed.
"I understand now, the seals and authority of the Rebirth Church truly are inconceivable divine objects,"
Lanci nodded in response. Information about other Bishop functionalities, which involved games played among bishops, was publicly available.
The Bishop’s Voting Ceremony represented that a Cardinal Bishop could initiate a vote to elect a new Pope, which was the only means for each Pope to ascend to the position.
Once someone became the Pope, the holder of the [Pope Sovereign] would have the highest bonus against all [Certificate of Rebirth] holders. In a situation where strength levels initially were similar, the [Proof of Bishop] of any Cardinal Bishop, once evolved into the [Pope Sovereign], would result in the other Cardinal Bishops not being his equals. The new Pope would then completely rule over the Rebirth Church.
Every ascension of a new Pope would be accompanied by a blood bath, purging all the opposing Bishops and their branches.
Sigrid was clearly an ambitious individual looking to become the Pope.
As for the Desperate Arena, it was a deadly duel betting on the [Proof of Bishop] which could not be stopped until a victor had been decided, or until death occurs. However, it required the initiation of both parties, was clearly forbidden by the Pope’s decree, and the Pope did not permit the same Bishop to possess multiple [Proof of Bishop].
"So, are you interested in becoming a Cardinal Bishop yet?"
Sigrid nudged Lanci with her shoulder and asked.
Cat boss felt its heart rise into its throat.
It was afraid that Sigrid might sway Lanci’s mindset!
"No, I can’t because my Southern Continent identification card is set to be revoked."
Lanci still shook his head helplessly.
"Sigh, I was hoping that one day you’d also become a Cardinal Bishop, and the two of us could continue our unbridled frolic around the Northern Continent as dual bishops. However, I will respect your wishes."
Sigrid let out a disappointed sigh, but she didn’t want to force the Saint Heir. Or rather, having the Saint Heir continue to be her Saint Heir was quite good too.
"But if you want to become the Pope, I am willing to continue to help you."
Lanci laughed, saying as much.
