Time passed slowly, just as Yang Yu and his group were heading towards the front line on foot.
In the holy city of Helogig, the decision-making bishops gathered in the conference hall to discuss the matter of Saint Fengyu.
When the Saint traveled, they assigned many powerful priests to follow her. According to the records of the Goddess Church, there was almost no precedent of the Saint dying during the touring ceremony. Even after being abducted by the Demon King, she was able to come back and pass on the power of the Goddess to the next generation.
but
Saint Fengyu did not arrive at the church as planned.
The church there found it a little strange, so they sent people to the holy city of Hrogig to ask if there were any changes to the saint's tour plans.
It was not until this time that the headquarters of the Goddess Cult realized the seriousness of the problem. They tried to contact the Saint, but all failed.
After a detailed investigation, the headquarters of the Goddess Cult locked down the area where the Saint might have had an accident, and also found traces of fighting in some places. However, they just couldn't confirm what happened to the Saint now.
“I think the Saint must still be alive now. If we don’t rescue her in time, the inheritance of the Goddess’ power will be interrupted, and the consequences will be disastrous.
I suggest that we should mobilize all the believers of the Goddess Church who can be contacted now to search for the Saint as much as possible."
A bishop with long white hair and beard suggested this, but his proposal was quickly opposed by other bishops.
"Bishop Moss, I disagree. If we are so panicked, the believers will surely suffer an unprecedented blow and become panic-stricken.
Before we come to a conclusion on this matter, we should conduct a thorough investigation and confirm the facts.”
"I agree with Bishop Serra Roland. The disappearance of the Saint is a major event. Making what we know now public will only cause unnecessary trouble. I think we should at least investigate the person who dared to attack the Saint."
"Do we still need to investigate this?" A middle-aged woman with a slightly plump figure raised her scepter and slammed it heavily on the floor of the conference room, "This must have been done by the cursed sect.
Apart from this organization that blasphemes the goddess all day long, I can't think of any other organization or person who dares to attack the saint on tour.
Only a brainless sect would do that.
They are simply going against the world.
It is obvious that this kind of sect only needs to be active underground, recruit some equally stupid people as believers, wantonly extort money, and indulge in desires.
How did he end up doing this and doing something so outrageous to both humans and gods
Such people should go to hell ten thousand times, but that is not enough.”
"Hey, Bishop Xium Lisa, please be careful with your attitude. This is a meeting, please don't bring your emotions to the table."
Bishop Usger, who holds the largest scepter, said,
“If it was really done by the Curse Cult, their meticulousness and capabilities are beyond our imagination.
They may be a more dangerous group than we imagined.
We don't know why they attacked the Saint so quietly.
This has never happened before and we have to prepare for the worst.”
"What should we do now?" Xium Lisa raised her scepter and slammed it against the floor again, "If we just sit there and wait, we will be exposed sooner or later.
Since it will be exposed sooner or later, it is better to do as Bishop Moss suggested, mobilize all devout believers as much as possible, investigate the hidden curse sect like rats crossing the street, and use all forces to wipe them out in one fell swoop. "
"Believers cannot initiate this. If possible, this matter should be kept secret as much as possible. This kind of thing happened just after the Saint left the Holy City. It will definitely cause many people's faith to waver."
Usger held the scepter tightly.
“Once everything is investigated, if the Saint can return safely, let her continue her journey as if nothing happened.
If something happened to the saint, they would say that the goddess died nobly to save people, and before she died, the goddess appeared and asked her if she regretted it.
It was simply said that it was a test given to the saint by the goddess. The saint made the right decision and was finally recognized by the goddess. She became an angel and served the goddess.
Contact the Rose's royal family and tell them that some accidents may have happened to the priests who followed the Saint. Hopefully, the Rose Empire can help the Goddess and find the missing priests.
As long as they can find some clues, we can take over the investigation.
This is the best method I can think of at the moment. Do any bishops here have any objections
If so, I hope you can come up with more constructive suggestions. If not, just do as I say.”
The conference hall fell into silence. The bishops present thought hard but could not think of a better solution. They could only shake their heads, then nodded, agreeing to Usger's proposal.
After assigning tasks to the bishops present and reminding them of a few points that required attention, Usger announced the end of the meeting.
But before everyone left, a priest came up to Usger in two steps and solemnly handed a letter to Usger.
It was a letter from the Village of Brave, with the signature of the Great Sage on it.
"Everyone, wait a moment. There is an important matter that needs to be discussed here."
The brave warrior Vokris stood in the cathedral of the Goddess Church's headquarters, his hand nonchalantly fiddling with the system panel.
He originally planned to become stronger and then visit the Goddess Church to find his ideal partner to defeat the Demon King together.
Who knew that this would happen halfway through the journey.
After receiving that particularly urgent mission, Volkris rushed to the Rose Empire without stopping, intending to make a grand appearance, rescue the saint, and then complete the pilgrimage with the saint, and naturally become the saint's partner.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped into the Rose Empire, he received a notification that his mission had failed. The saint of this country had died.
She died on her own before I could make my heroic appearance. That saint girl shouldn't be an important character, not the destined lady to join my team.
With this in mind, Walkris handed the letter he received from the Brave Village to the priest here, and then asked the priest to pass the letter to the bishop here.
Now that we are here, it would be great to include the innocent little pastor into the team as soon as possible.
This would also allow her to take a good look at her invincible figure. As expected, the other world was really simple. With the abilities given by the goddess, life was like cheating.
Walkris threw his red cape and smiled confidently.
The only stain now is the weird boy I met in the Library of Everything. Next time I see him, I must find out his identity.
At this moment, Usger appeared in front of Vokris and said without saying anything:
"Young hero, it's an honor to meet you. I have an unwelcome request here. It concerns the survival of the Goddess Church. I hope you can listen."
