Chapter 518 - 196: Kael, Blessed by Divine Descent, Elanna's Sword Dance, The Beginning of Ascension! (10K)_4
This was enough to show that Kael had taken a significant step forward on this path.
Not to mention being able to consolidate protection, which was akin to wholesaling "Golden Fingers" to others to a certain extent.
He removed his finger from Elanna's forehead, leaned slightly forward, forcing Elanna to instinctively lean back, and pinned her directly against the couch.
Her face flushed slightly, and she said in a soft voice, "Kael, this is the living room."
Kael laughed at her expression, leaned close to Elanna's ear, where the heat of his breath slightly warmed the tip of her ear, and his voice sounded as if murmuring upon waking:
"Make good use of this power, Elanna, it's one of the most precious gifts to me."
Elanna did not resist. In fact, she quite enjoyed Kael's occasional display of dominance and toughness, just wondering if Kael was also this forceful in bed.
Just when the atmosphere was just right, a knock on the door rang out. Kael sighed, shifted his position, straightened up, and saw the door being opened.
Lady Lin Hua, the Chief Maid, pushed open the door and walked into the living room, bowed to Kael, and said:
"Lord, there is a bishop from the Church of Literature and Knowledge at the door seeking an audience."
Kael frowned.
Wasn't this supposed to be the busiest time for the Church of Literature and Knowledge? All the members of the Church in the Royal Capital were extremely busy; why would they visit him now?
However, regardless, the Church of Literature and Knowledge was one of Kael's staunch allies; he could not be rude enough to turn them away.
"Let him in."
Lady Lin Hua nodded, went outside to communicate with the bishop, and soon, an aging bishop entered. Upon seeing Kael, he performed a unique priestly gesture of the Church and said:
"Lord, it has been a long time."
Kael was startled for a moment, then got up and went forward to greet, "Isn't this Bishop Graf? When did you come from Lancaster to the Royal Capital?"
"Oh, do not say so; after all, this matter of my God is good news for all our believers, and in this, you, Lord, deserve all the credit."
Bishop Graf was not a bishop of the Dinel Church in the Royal Capital, to be more precise, he once was and later was not.
This bishop was probably one of the bishops most familiar with Kael from the Church of Literature and Knowledge because the missionary area he was responsible for was Lancaster Territory. The Church had specifically assigned him to deepen the connection and cooperation with Kael.
Over the years, Kael and Bishop Graf had cooperated pleasantly on many joint ventures in Lancaster Territory, and both being learned men, they would broaden their horizons when they got the chance.
However, Kael had not expected that having been away from his territory for a while, Bishop Graf had already come to the Royal Capital without his knowledge.
Drawing Bishop Graf to sit on the couch, Kael did not bother introducing Elanna, as Graf had spent so much time in the territory that they both knew each other.
"Greetings, Lady Elanna."
"Bishop Graf is too kind. Did you come today to see Kael about something urgent?" Although Elanna did not much study noble etiquette, she still instinctively displayed the composure of a grande dame in the presence of others.
In fact, Elanna, sitting upright with a trace of a smile on her face, was quite interesting.
Kael did not speak immediately but let Lady Lin Hua, the Chief Maid, make a cup of tea.
Upon hearing Elanna bring up the matter, Bishop Graf's face adopted a warm smile and said softly:
"This matter is indeed a piece of great news for both you and me, as during this period, both the Duchy of Lancashire and the Bell Federation have been profoundly shaken by the deeds you, Lord, have performed."
"But with the outcome undecided, many still harbor doubts. However, now, the time can indeed be confirmed to have come."
Kael's expression subtly changed, and he said in a low voice:
"Has Dinel started to transform?"
"Yes."
"When?"
"Anytime now."
"Huh?" Hearing Bishop Graf's words, Kael frowned and emphasized doubtfully, "Anytime now?"
Bishop Graf's face broke into a radiant smile, nodding and stressing, "Later, if you... and Lady Elanna come with me to the Great Cathedral of my God in the Royal Capital, as soon as you are present for the observance, His Eminence will begin the formal transformation."
This was indeed a significant recognition of Kael. When Bishop Graf received the Pope's message that invited Kael, he was still amazed by the favor granted to Kael.
In fact, not only Bishop Graf, both Kael and Elanna were somewhat bewildered.
Eventually, Kael, who relatively didn't prioritize divine matters, recovered first and nodded:
"It is my honor to be esteemed by Dinel. Since the Church is ready, let's not keep everyone waiting."
Since the Church of Literature and Knowledge was prepared, Kael's curiosity was also piqued.
After all, even during the player era, they never truly experienced matters concerning the division of divine rights, and seeing this firsthand was indeed a good opportunity.
