Chapter 852: Chapter 230 The First Human Cardinal Archbishop!

Chapter 852: Chapter 230 The First Human Cardinal Archbishop!

Aiwass Moriarty turned his head and gazed at the blonde woman who, dressed in a daringly short red skirt that seemed fashion-forward.

From her attire, she appeared to be a journalist from the Iris Kingdom.

He nodded and said, “Of course, you may.”

As Aiwass Moriarty’s clear, youthful voice finished speaking, the surroundings instantly fell into silence for a moment.

Because this meant that Aiwass Moriarty had publicly acknowledged his identity as a “Cardinal Archbishop”!

If one could still fob things off with a joke or as performance art for merely “dressing like a Cardinal Archbishop”…

his current implicit admission that he is the Cardinal Archbishop left no room for alternative interpretation!

No one dared to tell such a lie in the Holy Nation.

Although Elves are gentle, they tend to be even more extreme and radical about such matters.

So, everyone present simultaneously realized one thing:

—The first human Cardinal Archbishop in history was born!

No, to be more accurate…

The first Short-Lived Species Cardinal Archbishop in history was born!

Even the female reporter herself subconsciously held her breath!

Watching them dumbfounded, Aiwass Moriarty kindly reminded, “Do you still need to take pictures?

A group photo is also fine.

“I am heading to the Twenty-First Ring…

there is still some time on this elevator ride.”

“——Yes, please!”

The blonde-haired, blue-eyed journalist finally snapped out of it.

She nodded vigorously, very excited—she instinctively wanted to hug Aiwass Moriarty, but after taking a step forward, she realized her offense.

Then she instinctively wanted to shake hands with Aiwass Moriarty, but also realized it was inappropriate as soon as she lifted her hand.

This made her seem as though she was excitedly dancing a clumsy jig.

Cardinal Archbishops are pure, mysterious, and powerful, some of the people closest to the Nine Pillar Gods in this world.

Such a courtesy may be fine for wealthy businessmen, for senior government officials, but is still an offense to a Cardinal Archbishop!

But seeing her at a loss, Aiwass Moriarty smiled and took the initiative to reach out, lightly pinching the first two joints of the reporter lady’s middle and index fingers of her right hand, as a formal handshake.

The reporter quickly came over, directing the crew member holding a camera behind her to set up equipment within the elevator and took a photograph with Aiwass Moriarty—she exhibited what might be the sweetest and most humble smile of her life.

Even when she took a photo with the Speaker of the Iris, she was nowhere near this enthusiastic.

Because there were so many priests inside the elevator, there was no need to burn magnesium powder at all.

Kind-hearted priests directly used the Illumination Art to provide light…

Of course, this was also because burning magnesium powder could be somewhat hazardous.

The citizens of the Holy Nation have quite high standards.

It wasn’t until after the journalist finished taking photos that other requests for group photos started coming in one after another.

“Your Eminence the Cardinal Archbishop, I also wish for a photograph…

I have a Photo Stone, it only takes a moment!”

“My lord, please!

I am a very devout follower…”

“Your Eminence the Cardinal Archbishop, I am also human!

I have worked in the Third Ring of the Holy Nation for more than thirty years…”

Aiwass Moriarty was almost instantly surrounded by people.

But the respect and fear they held for the Cardinal Archbishop still kept them at a distance from Aiwass Moriarty.

——Just kidding, this is a Cardinal Archbishop of the Holy Nation!

One of the unquestioned most powerful beings in the world, and also among the most powerful people!

Their organization is none other than the incredibly powerful Nine Pillars Divine Church, individuals far more influential than the kings of small countries!

But even the smallest of kings would never allow such people to freely approach them.

Even if a photo together was taken, they would absolutely not permit its casual use.

However, it so happens that all Cardinal Archbishops are good people…

If there was a chance to take a photo with them, it would undoubtedly be something to be framed, a treasure to be passed down for generations!

Even just possessing such a photograph could make those who might bully their descendants hesitate and feel intimidated; those who once looked down on them would now feel fear; opportunities that did not exist before would fall like rain…

All of these things could be achieved without any lies or exaggerations, all thanks to just this one photograph!

Let alone the truly devout and contributors—this is the first-ever Cardinal Archbishop from the Short-Lived Species, one who, although not recognized, must have made some remarkable acts of dedication!

Only that could have led His Holiness to make such an unprecedented move!@@novelbin@@

Aiwass could only helplessly exchange a smile with the beaming Isabel amidst the crowd, then gestured for them to quiet down, and patiently took photographs with everyone.

Those who easily got a photo with Aiwass practically worshiped him with devotion.

Fortunately, after Aiwass asked for silence, the commotion quickly subsided and thus the news of the new Cardinal Archbishop’s arrival didn’t spread.

Only the small circle around them managed to get their photos with Cardinal Archbishop Aiwass quickly.

It was at this moment that the female journalist from the Iris Kingdom finally spoke up: “Cardinal, were you born in the Holy Nation as a human?”

She was very sensible and tactful.

She waited until everyone had taken their photos before interviewing Aiwass.

Her way of asking was also very clever—instead of directly asking whether Aiwass was a pure-blood human or from which country he originated, she circled around the question.

“My name is Aiwass.”

Aiwass, of course, understood her meaning and smiled in response: “Aiwass Moriarty.

I am an Avalonian.”

“Moriarty…

Aiwass Moriarty…”

The journalist murmured this rare surname, and then became visibly moved: “Could it be…

are you the newly appointed Minister of the Department of Unconcern from Avalon?”

Her professionalism as a talented journalist led her to immediately think of the major news from not long ago.

Although she wasn’t a journalist covering Avalon, this type of international news was at least glanced at and remembered well.

The name Aiwass Moriarty was already etched in her heart, and even Aiwass’ appearance was vaguely recalled.

However, the Cardinal Archbishop’s robes were too striking, and once she realized Aiwass’ identity, she didn’t dare raise her head to look at his face…

She believed others felt the same.

“That’s right, it’s me.”

Aiwass nodded patiently.

Saying so, he casually pulled Isabel from the crowd: “And this lady is Her Majesty the Queen of Avalon, my betrothed.

“We’re here as guests—feel free to publish what I’ve just said.”

Isabel, suddenly brought up, widened her eyes silently.

——How do I explain to people why I suddenly appeared in the Holy Nation!

Aiwass returned her gaze with a smile that said: I don’t care.

“…Cardinal,” the journalist, sensing a life-changing scoop right before her eyes, softened her tone even more, almost pleading, “Could you perhaps take a photograph with Her Majesty the Queen?”

“Of course.”

Aiwass smiled warmly and nodded, saying: “Please.”
