Chapitre 226: Chapter 227: The Church's View
Ikanser was "dead."
In front of everyone, he experienced a societal death, hugging the mirror of Arrodes, and floated away like a ghost.
"Ahem..." After Ikanser, deeply shaken both mentally and physically, went to rest under the watchful eyes of his teammates, Archbishop Haydn lightly coughed and nonchalantly said, "Before today, the Church of Steam had received intelligence suggesting a possible split within the Rose School of Thought. Judging by today's events, that intelligence appears to be accurate."
In a way, Archbishop Haydn was considerate of his subordinates. Although he had no objections to their private matters and adopted an attitude of respect and blessing, the culture in Loen was relatively conservative. Discussing some things in private was acceptable, but publicly disclosing them could harm the individual's reputation. Therefore, pretending nothing happened was the best outcome.
"The Evernight Church also received similar intelligence..." Archbishop Anthony nodded slightly. He, too, had no intention of exposing the private affairs of other church members. However, a familiar face surfaced in his mind.
'Yes, that person was the rising star of the Evernight Church, who took less than three months to advance from an ordinary person to Sequence 7, a peerless genius, the only designated contact of the Angel of Secrets, and a favored one of the Evernight Goddess, Klein Moretti.'
Indeed, Archbishop Anthony knew Klein Moretti's identity as a favored one of the Evernight Goddess. As the head of the Backlund diocese, Archbishop Anthony was privy to more information and received more divine messages from the Goddess than others.
Therefore, while Sword of the Goddess Crestet Cesimir was marveling at how much the Evernight Goddess valued Klein, thinking he might become a favored one in the future, Archbishop Anthony had already received part of the script and knew Klein Moretti was indeed the Goddess's true favored one.
However, due to the divine instructions, Archbishop Anthony did not widely publicize this matter. He simply monitored Klein Moretti and provided assistance when necessary—such as giving special approval for Klein Moretti's rapid promotion a few days ago.
As a result, although the person in the mirror had become so blurry that distinguishing their features was impossible, Archbishop Anthony still guessed that the most prominent figure in the recent projection was their newly anointed favored one.
Upon reflection, this was not surprising. Klein Moretti had always been involved in matters concerning the Angel of Secrets. One could say that whenever the Angel of Secrets caused trouble, Klein Moretti was present. Given that the Angel of Secrets had stirred things up again, it would be odd if the favored one was absent.
However, since the matter involved the Angel of Secrets, the favored one, and internal strife within the Rose School of Thought, it was necessary to report this to the Goddess. Moreover, Archbishop Snake's reaction was quite off. It was likely the Angel of Secrets had said something to him... Archbishop Anthony's mind raced, but he had no intention of revealing the hidden information he knew.
Sharing unavoidable intelligence was one thing, but Archbishop Anthony had no intention of generously sharing any hidden information with the other two churches.
The three churches had never been close enough to share all secrets.
"In other words, the current situation is that there's infighting within the Rose School of Thought, and that Angel of Secrets is a member of the Rose School?" Archbishop Snake suggested the most obvious guess.
"I lean more towards the idea that they are external support for the Temperance Faction," Archbishop Anthony said with a smile.
"The likelihood of external support is indeed greater," Archbishop Haydn nodded slightly.
After a few more words of discussion, the three archbishops basically analyzed the sequences of those involved in the battle, including Klein. Archbishop Anthony then smiled and said:
"The situation is quite clear: there is a split within the Rose School of Thought, and members of the Temperance Faction are being hunted by the Indulgence Faction. However, the members of the Temperance Faction are clearly not weak and have called in external support—two Beyonders to fight alongside them, and the Angel of Secrets."
"There are now two questions. First, how did the Temperance Faction manage to enlist the help of the Angel of Secrets? Do they have a hidden high-sequence member backing them? Considering the Temperance Faction's usual conduct, if they do have such a high-sequence member, it might not be necessary to suppress them; we could consider recruiting them."
"Second, what are the Angel of Secrets' intentions in participating in this matter? Is it purely to help the Temperance Faction escape their pursuers, or is there a deeper purpose? What does He aim to achieve, and will this pose a threat to the church or Backlund?"
Archbishop Anthony's analysis was logical and reasonable. Apart from inadvertently letting a certain favored one slip under the radar and withholding useful information, there were no faults.
Archbishop Haydn nodded thoughtfully at this analysis. Archbishop Snake frowned and finally said, "So, we still have no clues about the Angel of Secrets?"
Clearly, for Archbishop Snake, his primary concern wasn't the infighting within the Rose School of Thought but the Angel of Secrets himself.
This wasn't his fault; anyone would be rattled after hearing what Lynn said.
What did the Angel of Secrets say to him... Archbishop Anthony glanced at the Archbishop Snake and smiled, "It seems there are no more clues here. If you're in a hurry, we can go now to check the archives on the Angel of Secrets."
...
The three archbishops naturally had no idea that while they were discussing the Angel of Secrets, a certain person was squatting in a corner, silently watching them.
Only after the three archbishops left to review the archives did Lynn brush off nonexistent dust from his body, glance at the mirror of Arrodes, and vanish on the spot as a divine avatar.
'So now, I can consider myself officially revealed to the three official churches of Loen. The Evernight Church is aware of me; we are in a mutually testing stage, generally leaning towards friendliness. They have not taken drastic measures despite knowing about my past changes, indicating room for negotiation. There is a high likelihood of cooperation in the future.'
On the other side, Lynn, who was synchronously receiving all information from his divine avatar, sipped tea and calmly analyzed the current situation.
