This Holy Knight is So Despicable!

Chapter 130: Chapter 122: Dragon Island’s Reply (Additional 3/3)

As the first ray of morning sunlight streamed through the window into the room, Lette slowly opened his eyes.

He had waited in the dream realm all night, yet unfortunately, the Demon did not respond.

It seemed that the Old Devils who participated in the war to seal the Liar Demon back in the day had mostly withered away.

In that case, to obtain the relevant information, he could only go to Dragon Island afterward to take a look.

Hopefully, those big lizards are more resilient than Demons.

I wonder what their expression will be when they hear about the Liar Demon being unsealed. The panic of giant dragons is always quite amusing.

Lette hopped out of bed with a lighthearted mood, feeling that the crisis of Holy Presence Day had been mostly resolved.

The Heresy Cult and the Dark Race had already been completely expelled, and the Holy New Sect had been tightly tied to Holy New City by him.

While controlling the speech of the church, he also moved the church’s power to a new town, avoiding the Holy City.

The continuous attacks from the Truth Remnants were also fended off by him, and their tactics were about to be unraveled by him.

Representatives from various countries and different Alien Tribe Missions who came from all directions were also chained to the Church Court’s carriage by his grand vision of the Holy Trade Route.

Once the grand ceremony of Holy Presence Day smoothly concluded tomorrow, the Church Court would immediately declare blame on the First Empire and proceed to declare war.

Simultaneously, the Church would initiate a reform of Magic worldwide.

Applying a two-pronged approach, they were bound to root out the Truth Remnants completely and eradicate the soil where sins breed thoroughly!

The situation was very favorable for the Holy Light Church now, exceedingly favorable!

If not for the fear of triggering some strange curse, Lette would’ve opened champagne directly by now.

Yet vaguely, Lette always sensed a trace of unease.

He couldn’t quite pinpoint exactly what was wrong.

It was a sort of crisis awareness bred from the sixth sense. To put it plainly, it just ’felt’ uneasy internally.

After finishing his morning routine, Lette came to the dining room, where three beautiful girls waiting eagerly with mouths wide open showed utmost anticipation as if ready to order a meal.

Lette was quite upset, questioning why it was always him making breakfast every time.

But recalling their inherent ability to deepen kitchen damage and score critical, fatal hits on utensils, he resignedly tolerated it.

During breakfast, Lilith looked at Lette with curiosity.

"What’s wrong? You seem troubled."

"I just feel... something’s off, but I can’t quite articulate it."

"This should be simple enough!"

Lilith immediately knocked Emily’s forehead beside her: "Emily!"

"Huh?"

"Time to put your intuition to work!"

"...What do you mean?"

Lette rolled his eyes: "Alright, don’t trouble her. Her intelligence is in a quantum superposition state — there sometimes, and sometimes not."

Emily munched on a pancake, mumbling something unintelligible. Lette didn’t catch it clearly, but it wasn’t likely anything pleasant.

After a sumptuous breakfast, Lette took along that piece of Crystal and, together with Lilith and the others, drove towards the Pope Palace.

The Holy City was bustling today, as both believers and visitors were extremely excited.

After all, tomorrow was the great Holy Presence Day, when the Holy Light Goddess would descend into the human world, blessing and preaching to the believers.

And tonight was the equally lively Holy Presence Eve.

Interestingly, on the eve of Holy Presence, churches allowed believers to play various sinful and dark characters and wander around in the deep night.

This symbolized the hardships and chaos of the world before the Goddess of Holy Light descended upon earth.

When the night ended, and the first light of dawn enveloped the world, everyone had to tear off their disguises and throw them into the prepared Holy Flame.

This symbolized the end of the night and sin with the Goddess of Holy Light’s arrival.

Over time, however, it turned into another form of release and revelry.

Though only breakfast time had just passed, strange costume-clad folks were already appearing within the Holy City.

Divine Officers would mostly reprimand these people but did not stop them.

This was probably the most tolerant day for the Church Court.

The carriage wove through the wide avenue, arriving at the Pope Palace, coincidentally encountering the hurriedly arriving Black robed Archbishop.

"Cardwen Archbishop?"

"Oh! Lette!"

Cardwen greeted the four one by one: "Are you here to attend the meeting too?"

"No, we’re here to see Joanna. By the way, to chat with my teacher... What’s the matter? Another meeting? No one informed me?"

"A message came from Dragon Island. It should be about the issue of the Dragon Egg’s disposition..."

Lette raised an eyebrow: "What, planning to keep me in the dark?"

Cardwen smiled awkwardly: "Not really... The Pope probably thought the message content wasn’t suitable to let you know immediately, right?"

Lette handed the Crystal to Lilith: "You go to the Holy Tower and wait for me; I’m going to attend a meeting."

Cardwen Archbishop was full of regret, thinking if only he had set out earlier.

Helpless, he had to take Lette together to the third floor of the Holy Light Library.

When the two appeared in the secret meeting room on the third floor, the Pope was startled.

"Wow! What are you doing here?"

"So you really intended to keep me in the dark?"

The Pope laughed awkwardly: "No, no... Please come in and take a seat first."

"Where’s the reply? Let me see!"

The Pope gave a glance to the others, had no choice but to toss a Pearl over.

Lette caught it and infused it with Holy Light, and the message from Dragon Island projected right away.

"What the heck! They acknowledged Galado? But... Did you not clearly explain to them that her original form is a Chimera?"

Lette never expected Dragon Island would recognize Galado’s Dragon Clan identity.

"But they still want to hold the First Empire accountable... What does that mean!

Do those lizards have butterfly knots in their brain circuits?"

The Pope also sighed, "Yes, we were quite confused too; hence, the hesitant delay, wishing to discuss an outcome before bringing this matter to you.

Unexpectedly, you walked right into it."

Lette looked at Master Constant sitting beside, "Teacher, how’s the Dragon Egg? Is it all right?"

Master Constant pulled up a baby’s cradle, with the Dragon Egg placed safely inside, even wrapped with a quilt.

"Safe and sound! I infuse it with Holy Light Fighting Spirit daily.

It shouldn’t take long before it hatches."

Lette turned to the Red Archbishop, "What did the Goddess say, what about Afra?"

Delman sighed, "Lady Goddess indicated that since the Dragon Clan acknowledged its legitimacy... That having one more Light Holy Dragon for the Holy Light Church is a good thing after all.

In the future, it could even cultivate Holy Dragon Knights loyal to the Church Court."

The Pope spread his hands, "That’s what I think too; Holy Dragon Knights loyal to the Church Court would strengthen the ties between the Holy Light God Church and Dragon Island.

This benefits us, and Lady Goddess, for the better."

Lette pondered for a moment, "...Good for Dragon Island as well."

"Indeed, for everyone..."

Lette shook his head, "No, what I mean is, Dragon Island lowering its stance, seeking to improve relations with the Church Court.

Indicates these arrogant, proud big lizards sensed a threat."

The Red Archbishop was immediately stunned, "Then you mean, the unsealing of the Liar Demon might be true?

Dragon Island sensed the crisis, hence, reached out to improve relations with the Church Court in advance.

After all, right beneath their buttocks lies the Seal.

No wonder these arrogant Dragon Clan members suddenly changed."

This became understandable.

The Liar Demon’s matter had already been shared with the Pope by the Red Archbishop, yet some high-level members present were hearing it for the first time.

For a while, the conference room was full of noise and discussions.

The Pope clapped his hands, "Anyway, the agreement of Dragon Island to acknowledge Galado’s identity as a Dragon Clan saves us from an opposing risk, a good outcome indeed.

As for the Liar Demon’s issue, let’s focus on it after Holy Presence Day."

Lette pointed at the Dragon Egg, "The name Galado needs changing later. That Holy Dragon Knight matter, we must expedite it, but quality over quantity!

Alright, continue your discussions; I need to head to the Holy Tower."

After saluting his two teachers, Lette turned to leave the conference room, then walked back again.

"Oh, right! The night before Holy Presence Day, must fortify patrols! I propose letting Adros lead the Black robed Crowd to support the Holy New Army.

He and his men can accurately discern whether there are real creatures mingled among those disguised monsters.

Besides, since tonight is the eve of Holy Presence, their deployment will not arouse suspicion."

Cardwen immediately stood up, "Great, great, this proposal is excellent! I support it with both hands!"

"...Cardwen Archbishop, remain calm; no one objected."

Seizing their discussion opportunity, Lette left the conference room and then proceeded to the highest layer of the Holy Tower.

The three girls had already been waiting here for a long time; this time, Lilith had brought three folding chairs and even some seeds.

The three sat around Joanna’s bed, engaging in casual chat while nibbling on seeds, occasionally letting out bell-like laughter.

When Lette matched their gaze, he instantly guessed from their mischievous smiles.

The topic of their recent conversation had to be him!

"In our place, backbiting behind someone’s back lands one in tongue-pulling hell!"

"I’ve never heard of the tongue-pulling hell during all my years in the Demon Realm."

"That shows your ignorance! Apart from tongue-pulling hell, there’s also Black Rope, Scorching, Red Lotus, Avici, Avici!

But hell is desolate; evil spirits are right in front of one’s eyes!"

Lilith disdainfully pouted, "I was praising you! Telling these two the sweet stories of you and Joanna."

"What sweet stories do I have with her? You’re purely making this up!"

"Alas... Some things seem sweet to outsiders, but regrettably, some people are unaware themselves!"

"Cut the nonsense! Hand over the Crystal!"

Unexpectedly, Lilith produced a pair of already carved Crystal Shoes from beside her, "Had them done for you."

"You! Who allowed you to do this!"

"I did!"

Lilith waved the Crystal Shoes in her hand, "Why angered, is it because you lost the chance to measure Joanna’s feet personally!"

"...I shall send you to Avici Hell!"

"Returning to hell is like going home for me! What? Do you despise me now that Joanna is about to wake up, huh?"

Lilith sniffed, muttering, "Hmph! I’m not moving!"

Lette came to Lilith’s side, took over the Crystal Shoes, and reached to pat her head.

"No one’s asking you to leave! Besides, I won’t allow you to."

Only then did Lilith’s lips curve slightly, as she swatted away Lette’s hand.

"Alright, alright, hurry forth to integrate with the Event Essence, as it surely demands a long time."
