Chapter 285: Chapter 262 Twin Goddesses in the Bowl (Extra 2/3)_2
"This... is a bit tricky."
Afra also felt a bit awkward, as she introduced these people, but upon arriving here, they knew nothing about anything and couldn’t understand anything further either.
"Ahem, actually being a god doesn’t require knowing too much..."
Hearing Afra say this, Lette gave her a fierce glare. The latter let out an awkward chuckle, turning her head away.
If it were in front of other believers or Divine Officers, Afra might put on a stronger front.
But when it came to Lette, she genuinely had no confidence.
The first time this man and this god met, the man had berated her non-stop for a full two hours!
Afra knew she could be quite chatty, often grabbing a few Church Court higher-ups for idle chatter.
Even so, during those two hours, she didn’t even get a word in edgewise.
The key was that what this man said all made sense, including a lot of terms that, while she didn’t understand, sounded extremely impressive.
As a Divine, facing the myriad drawbacks and issues he listed, she couldn’t find a single counter-argument.
It was after that incident that she secretly retracted all the blessings of the Holy Light Divine Spell she had bestowed upon him.
Initially planning to use this move to make the man submit, she didn’t expect him to somehow bypass her and directly obtain permission from the Holy Light Law!
Since then, he was no longer within her control.
And accidentally, this man had already turned the tables and started riding on her back!
Being a god, this was indeed quite embarrassing.
But the benefits were so great, Afra just pinched her nose and accepted it.
"Lette, just give them a chance, no god is born knowing how to guide followers.
I’ll help lead them a bit, and it’ll be fine, right?"
Lette frowned deeply: "You’ll lead them? You’ve done a great job yourself? Over the years, every batch of Popes and the Three Great Bishops, which one wasn’t overworked?
You just neglect them and simply promote them directly to the Holy Spirit Hall.
If everyone acted like you, would the Divine Court still be okay?"
Afra’s pretty face turned crimson: "You, you, you, in front of outsiders, give me some face.
Besides, isn’t your position just sitting empty? Why not let them practice a bit, please~
Will you, brother-in-law~"
"At this moment, you’re not worried about Divine Coin, right? Isn’t it you who was crying for more pocket money?"
Afra quickly interjected: "No, they’re not asking for Divine Coin."
Lette was also taken aback for a moment, turning to the life sisters: "You two, no salary?"
"Sa... Salary?"
Sister Nora quickly waved her hand: "No, no, we don’t want Divine Coin. We only need a place to stay and enough Power of Faith to meet our basic needs."
"Then... what about the thirteenth salary? Bonuses? Benefits? Dividends? Stock options? Meal and travel allowances?"
The two sisters tilted their heads: "What are those?"
"Congratulations! You’ve been hired!"
Lette quickly stood up clapping, walked from behind the desk to shake hands with the two young ladies.
"From now on, the Holy Light Divine Court is your home! Work hard here, and achieving personal goals will no longer be a dream!
You two can start today, is that fine?"
The two young ladies were dumbfounded; just a moment ago so stern, and now so warm?
Though they didn’t understand what was happening, they seemed to have been accepted by this odd Divine Court.
Nora quickly responded: "Uh, starting today might not be possible... Oh, there’s no issue with us, it’s just that the original God of Faith of the Elf Clan wasn’t us.
Even though it’s also a part of the Life God System, to inherit their former faith, a grand sacrificial ceremony is necessary.
The whole preparation process would take about half a month."
"Oh, is that so?"
Lette couldn’t help but think of the smooth transition when the God of Flesh succeeded as the Sea God, without mentioning any grand sacrificial ceremony.
After its inauguration, the Divine Court here just directly approved it with a stamp.
Seeming to sense Lette’s puzzlement, Afra hurriedly explained.
"The two of them are different from the Sea God. The God of the Sea has inherent Divine Position, while the Life Goddess is an internal belief of the Elf Clan.
A Divine Position that has birthed a local god is inherent to this world, like the God of the Sea, Earth God, Heavenly God, and Sun God.
For those that haven’t birthed a local god, like our Holy Light God and their Life Goddess, Dragon God, specific ethnic belief gods, changing them follows their respective procedures."
Lette nodded slightly: "If that’s the case, then start preparing. Time’s tight, after all, the Elves of this world are eagerly awaiting your arrival.
Work hard, and aim high, for better days are ahead!
Go for it!"
"Yes! Thank you!"
Nora and Noi left gratefully, and only after they had gone did Afra put down the buckets she was holding, scattering the books atop her head all over the place.
"So, aren’t the gods I found quite reliable?"
Lette didn’t say anything, just glanced at her sideways. Afra’s smile grew increasingly awkward, and in the end, she obediently picked up the two buckets again.
"The hidden danger from the Dragon Clan has been completely eradicated from this world. However, due to the matter of the Fairy Tale Subspace, it’s likely that other Divines will come to cause problems.
Besides these two, don’t recruit any more Divines into the Divine Court."
"Yes, yes, yes! I know I was wrong, I won’t dare anymore."
"... Set it down."
Lette stretched lazily: "Lady Goddess, listen up!
I have something to do, I’ll be off for now."
"Huh? Aren’t you waiting for Sister Joanna?"
"Why did you start using honorifics? I remember you just called her Joanna, then you added Sister..."
Lette shook his head: "I’ll discuss it after I finish dealing with matters on the Sea God’s side."
Before the words were finished, Lette unilaterally cut off the divine summoning, and the light and shadows in the temple faded away.
In the warehouse of Harbor City, Lette slowly opened his eyes.
Seeing Unica and Gretel’s concerned looks, Lette smiled.
"All done with the Divine Court matters. You two call Emily, let’s head to Sea God Island."
"Yay!!!"
Originally, when Dragon Island fell due to the great battle, it eventually formed a medium-sized island at sea.
Because Dragon Island’s position is directly above the World Void, and it’s also the junction of the world with the Fairy Tale Subspace, most importantly, it’s the God of Flesh’s dwelling.
As such, this energetically rich and unusually positioned small island instantly became a pilgrimage place for the Sea Clan.
At first, Lette was still a bit worried whether making the God of Flesh the Sea God would be accepted by the Sea Clan.
But unexpectedly, within just a couple of days, these sea creatures all chose to believe in the new god, even sparking a wave of fervent conversion.
Initially, Lette couldn’t figure out what was going on, but later, while on the waterfront, he saw a thumb-sized hermit crab doing sit-ups on the beach, and he was completely flabbergasted.
Goodness, this fitness craze has finally swept across the entire ocean!
The Sea Clan was already obsessively engrossed in muscle-building exercises, and those human Sea God believers on the coast were even more eager for swimming and fitness.
The whole Flesh Sea God Sect was thriving with vibrant life and activity!
At first, Lette was worried that the rapid development of the Sea God Sect might affect the ruling position of the Holy Light Church.
But on second thought, anyway, it’s all part of the Divine Court system now, and the Power of Faith gained ultimately supplies the Holy Light Goddess first.
Moreover, the two of them were soon about to become Rule God, so they didn’t need Power of Faith that much.
Supporting a strong and capable personal god in the Divine Court could further stabilize the whole foundation.
In the end, Lette decided to simply build a Sea God Palace on the Sea God Island, to produce an effect similar to the Holy City of the Holy Light Church.
If they were to undertake such a large construction, then an all-department Legendary Mage would surely be essential.
Poor Emily was thus recruited as a laborer.
Adding in the two little Alchemy Witches, conjuring a temple from scratch on the barren island didn’t seem too hard.
Besides Emily, this time Lette also called Alice.
He planned to utilize the time during the temple construction to consume a part of the Dragon God Emperor’s flesh to create some highly distinctive angels for the Flesh Sea God.
