Chapter 544 - 200 Kael, You Don't Even Want to Call Me Godfather (10K)_6
As the core of the Yibel Federation in various senses, the influence that establishing a Church by the Royal Court could bring would definitely be far greater than in any Duchy.
But why choose the Duchy of Lancshire?
Ultimately, even though the headquarters had begun relocating to the Yibel Federation, the "cute girl" of the Dinel Church, which had just been tricked by a scumbag, was now suffering from PTSD.
They were afraid that after entering the Yibel Federation, they had barely stabilized before they might encounter the same dilemma as in the previous country.
Therefore, lacking a sense of security, they preferred to give up that bit of potential influence and head to the place where their most trusted ally, "Kael," was, to acquire that insignificant sense of security.
Of course, even if Kael highly regarded his own influence, he wouldn't think it was simply for such a naive reason.
The reason for choosing to come to the Duchy of Lancshire was another important factor: considering the current situation, it was highly likely that Kael would become the lord of Lancshire in the future.
After all, just in terms of influence and potential, Kael had already shown an overwhelming gap among the candidates for the Lion Heart Duke.
Therefore, Kael suspected that the Dinel Church was betting on him becoming the master of the Duchy of Lancshire. After all, the Dinel Church's joining the Duchy definitely meant taking his side, which in itself was increasing Kael's odds of winning.
Thus, once Kael truly became the second Lion Heart Duke, the support that Dinel Church, as followers of the dragon, could obtain would definitely be more than what the Federation Royal Court offered.
After multiple considerations, they finally made such a decision.
Of course, this was just Kael's guess.
But his sixth sense told him that this was definitely the correct answer.
With this in mind, Kael sighed softly.
"What's the matter, starting to feel the heavy pressure of bearing others' expectations?" Bishop Robert said with a light chuckle.
"A little bit, yes. I don't know if I can meet their expectations. I can only say that right now, my greater goal is still focused on the conquest of the Dungeon.
After all, if we're talking about it, the puzzle of the Dungeon has almost been pieced together."
When Kael mentioned these things, there was a somewhat nonchalant flavor to his words.
"So what you said earlier to Tetut, about needing his help, does it relate to this matter?" Bishop Robert asked indifferently.
"Yes, it does relate."
Kael, in front of the two, spoke of the related situations they had investigated in the Dungeon and the final decision made due to not wanting to stand with the multi-national Alliance.
It even included Kael and his team's idea to turn the legion of petitioners from the inside, then directly replace those Divine Favored.
Bishop Robert wasn't upset about the content Kael spoke of.
After all, Bishop Robert was a typical devout follower who adhered to the single Church doctrine, and while they were both executing justice, what Robert valued more was "executing the justice recognized by the Dawn Lord Church."
As for what other Churches thought, Bishop Robert actually didn't care that much.
After listening to what had happened during Kael's participation in the Dungeon conquest and his current thoughts, Bishop Robert pondered for a moment before huffing and saying:
"If I remember correctly, the first ones to oppose that matter back then were the Dawn Lord Church and the Earth Mother Goddess Church. Unfortunately, the circumstances were special at that time, and many things didn't hinge on our objections.
Since the predecessors were already opposed to this matter, if we do a little tampering in the history echo-type Dungeon, it could be seen as continuing the concept of the predecessors."
When making decisions, Bishop Robert was exceptionally decisive. He turned to face Kael and said softly:
"I can help you with this matter in principle. During that period, our Church's Divine Favored were quite special, unlike the Divine Favored and Divine Favored of your father's era. Back then, Divine Favored were more like controlled battle tools.
At that time, the Church's internal concept was mainly: If devout believers wanted to become Divine Favored, they had to renounce superfluous and useless emotions, becoming cold-hearted, launching deadly attacks against enemies like demons.
Therefore, at that time, the will of the Divine Favored themselves was not important, the method to control them was most important, and now this situation is actually favorable for you to control the situation in the Dungeon later on.
Take this, and even if you can't gain the support of the Lord of Dawn's believers from that time period, you'll be able to prevent the Divine Favored from joining the battle."
Bishop Robert removed a necklace from around his neck and personally put it on Kael, then said softly:
"The Divine Favored of Losanda are always the bravest and those who execute justice in their hearts, Kael, I will prepare your god's mantle in advance. If you don't mind, after the conquest is complete, come find me in the Losanda Church, don it, and begin your own era!"
Bishop Tetut's expression was somewhat somber as he looked towards Robert.
His old friend had ultimately lied, after all!
Tetut knew that Robert had actually made that mantle a long time ago, but it wasn't intended for Kael...
The one he truly wanted to give it to had left him forever.
However, Tetut said nothing more.
Whether what was reflected in Robert's eyes was Kael, or whether through Kael, he saw Anthony, it was all the same to Tetut.
He silently prayed in his heart: "Here's to a world without war, even if it exists in only a few places."
...
As dusk fell, Kael got into the carriage bound for home.
Outside, the carriage wheels squeaked.
Inside, Kael leaned out to look at the Royal Capital of Lancshire, bathed in the sunset gloom.
At last, he curled the corners of his lips into a smile.
"It's really beautiful!"
With things progressing to this point, the official start of the Dungeon conquest was just around the corner.
This time, he intended to fully utilize every card in his hand to deliver a perfect ending that wouldn't disappoint her.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a somewhat cruel smile: "An international Alliance, Divine Favored, huh? I want to see how you all die this time!"
