I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

Chapter 536: Chapter 382: Everything is Ready!

Danerluo Port, outside the residence of Lis,

Candice and Geoffrey walked outside, silent.

They had just negotiated with Lord Lis, and although both parties appeared amicable on the surface, the two had actually hit a soft nail and achieved none of their objectives.

“Alas…”

Geoffrey sighed, his voice dull as he said,

“This Duke Kane, he really isn’t a simple character!”

“Even though he’s so young.”

“What did you think?”

Candice glared at Geoffrey and said somewhat frustratedly,

“After all, he is a disciple of the Judgement Flame. If he didn’t have the capability and vision, do you think King Morton would have easily handed over the Luou Peninsula to him?”

During the conversation earlier, Geoffrey hardly spoke; it was mostly Candice who talked with Lis.

What made Candice somewhat unhappy was that Lis looked at her the same way he looked at Geoffrey, seemingly with admiration but devoid of any desire.

Am I not attractive anymore?

Candice looked down at her full, upright chest, exuding a mature aura and vitality of life, and her beautifully curved hips that resembled a full moon, looking graceful yet powerful.

Isn’t that supposed to be appealing? Are today’s youth just not into this anymore?

The two walked slowly toward the direction of the church, pondering all details of their first meeting with the Lord.

“The Dawn Church that accompanied Duke Kane here included the presence of Dawn Knights.”

Candice said softly.

“What?”

Geoffrey looked at Candice with disbelief, his eyes filled with astonishment.

“How could it be, the Dawn Church going to such lengths this time?”

The Dawn Holy Knights, being the most famed and powerful military force of the Dawn Church, play a crucial role in exterminating the Evil God Sect, known for their “Judgement Holy Sword.”

Originating from the powerful Divine Power of the God of Dawn, the Dawn Divine Skill has horrific lethality against most members of the Chaotic Camp of the Evil God Sect.

This also makes the Dawn Knights, capable of using the Dawn Divine Skill, among the most feared individuals by the pagans.

The position of the Dawn Holy Knights within the Dawn Church is as significant as the Tide Guardians of the Ocean Church and the Storm Judges of the Storm Church, each being a crucial force within their respective Churches.

Why would the Dawn Holy Knights appear in Danerluo Port?

Has the Dawn Church invested so much in Lis Kain?

Noticing Geoffrey’s gaze, Candice elegantly shrugged her shoulders, smiling as she said,

“There’s no use looking at me; the information is accurate, I confirmed it myself.”

“This complicates things even more.”

Geoffrey, believing that Candice would not deceive him on this matter, said with a headache.

The Dawn Church had dispatched the Dawn Holy Knights, and even though Geoffrey preferred to directly harness the Storm and Thunder, he understood the intent behind the Dawn Church’s actions.

They were not merely probing; they genuinely intended to establish a foothold on the Luou Peninsula and spread their faith.

This was unwelcome news for the Ocean Church and the Storm Church, which dominated most of the local faiths.

The purpose of the Church of the Gods is to consolidate the followers of deities and stabilize faith.

As bishops of their respective churches, Candice and Geoffrey would naturally not easily surrender their followers.

“You all…”

“It’s impossible.”

Candice shook her head; she knew what Geoffrey wanted to say.

“His Majesty will not dispatch the Ocean Guardians here because of this matter, let alone serve that Lord.”

“I think your Storm Church feels the same.”

“Yes.”

Geoffrey nodded helplessly.

“Lately, some anomalies have occurred in the Dead Silence Sea on the western side of the Fanor Continent, and the church can’t spare much force.”

The Storm Church and the Ocean Church, having competed for many years, know each other’s secrets well, except for some critical hidden matters.

And as people of their own, the Church of the Gods, although powerful, faces many challenges.

The competition over faith followers alone would not warrant pouring too much strength into this aspect.

The headquarters of the Ocean Church is on another continent, while the headquarters of the Storm Church is located on Minghai Island on the western side of the Fanor Continent, making both somewhat unreachable.

The situation with the Dawn Church is different. Although the headquarters of the Dawn Church is also on another continent, the Feis Kingdom serves as the core stronghold of the Dawn Church on the Fanor Continent, possessing far greater powers than these ordinary church branches.

Even within the Dawn Cathedral, there sits a Legendary Priest [Holy Light] Morris.

Due to the special nature of the Ocean Church and the Storm Church, which once were the primary faiths of the Boditch Kingdom, their church headquarters are not located in the capital Luminous Stone City but in Danerluo Port; even so, their power cannot surpass that of the Dawn Church.

Now, with the Feis Kingdom having annexed the Boditch Kingdom, this provides an excellent opportunity for the Dawn Church to expand their faith on this new land.

Even as local tyrants, the Ocean Church and the Storm Church do not have any overt reasons to oppose.

Thus, Candice and Geoffrey sought to gain the support of Lis, who served as the local Lord.

“No, since you knew the Dawn Church even dispatched the Dawn Holy Knights, why didn’t you choose to pay a bit more during your conversation with Lis?”
