Chapter 56: Chapter 56: My Reading of the Spring and Autumn Annals (Requesting Follow-Up Reading)

Looking at the Light Holy Dragon soaring in the sky, Lette’s mind was racing.

At this moment, the Red Archbishop walked over and lowered his voice.

"Lette, it seems Vanessa is up to no good."

"Such crucial information about the Light Holy Dragon, and your Red Robed Holy Hall didn’t know a thing?"

Archbishop Delman sighed helplessly: "The Red Robed People have already tried very hard. You know the Church’s situation within the First Empire is not good."

Taylor looked puzzled: "What’s wrong? What do you mean by ’up to no good’?"

Delman glared at him: "Taylor, you brat, did you skip all the ’Church History’ classes?

There’s an ancient contract between our Holy Light God Church and Dragon Island.

During the War of Gods, in order to gain an absolute advantage in the earthly battlefield, Her Highness the Holy Light Goddess signed a contract with the powerful Dragon Island.

The Dragon Clan helped the Holy Light Goddess win the earthly battle, and the Holy Light Church promised to ensure the Dragon Clan’s transcendent status in the world in the future.

After the contract was reached, the Dragon Clan selected qualified individuals from the Holy Light camp to become Dragon Knights, securing victory with absolute combat power.

According to the contract, Dragon Knights are representatives of Dragon Island’s authority.

If a Dragon Knight wishes, he can join the Holy Temple Council unconditionally and directly obtain a permanent council member seat.

To ensure that the rights of Dragon Island and the Dragon Clan are protected.

If it’s a Light Holy Dragon Knight, that person could even directly become the vice-chair of the council!"

Lette squinted his eyes slightly: "Dragon Island has been secluded for a millennium. Even when besieging the Tower of Truth a century ago, they only provided a few Dragon Language Scrolls, and did not have the Dragons participate, let alone Dragon Knights.

She’s certainly concealed her actions well!

First, she avoided the old vow by taking on the role of a mission envoy, and now she returns gloriously as a Light Holy Dragon Knight, easily becoming the vice-chair of the Holy Temple..."

Taylor slapped his thigh: "Boss, the Holy Temple Council hasn’t elected a council chair in many years! So... she’s promoted to vice-chair upon her arrival!

On top of that, with her identity as the First Empire’s princess, those fence-sitters in the Holy Temple are likely to follow her lead."

Lette remained expressionless: "Hmm, you finally caught on."

Delman looked worried: "In the early years, the Holy Temple Council was powerful enough to compete with the Three Great Sanctuaries and the Pope Palace.

It took us many years to gradually dismantle this alliance of troublemakers.

If Vanessa consolidates these fence-sitters again, it could indeed be troublesome.

Speaking of which, why hasn’t she come down yet?"

Lette rolled his eyes: "Making a grand return, she naturally has to flaunt her power for a while."

He took a step forward, gathering Holy Light in his hand, and immediately locked his consciousness onto the giant dragon hovering above.

The stance was clear: come down now, or get blasted down!

Everyone present noticed it, but each chose to ignore it.

They couldn’t intervene, or else they’d be the ones getting blasted.

The Gun Knight Princess in the sky sensed the threat and immediately controlled the giant dragon to descend.

Even after four years, she still believes that he’s a man who takes immediate action.

When the Light Holy Dragon landed, a flash of light appeared. Its huge dragon body continuously shrank, eventually becoming a girl with dragon horns and a trailing dragon tail.

Two pairs of wings wrapped around her body, transforming into close-fitting clothing.

Beside the Dragon Girl stood Vanessa, with her short silver hair looking valiant and striking.

The tight-fitting armor accentuated her tall and alluring curves, and her handsome and beautiful face exuded charm that captivated both men and women.

Despite being reluctant, as the current authoritative figure in the Holy City, Lette brought Taylor to greet her.

"Good day, Princess Vanessa Pedopoulos."

"Good day, Saint Lette. Good day, Saint Taylor."

"On behalf of the Holy Light Church, I sincerely welcome you! I forgot the rest of the words, so let’s end the pleasantries here."

"As you wish. I don’t want to continue either."

After the official dialogue ended, the people behind Lette immediately flocked over. It was clear that the permanent members and officers of the Holy Temple Council were the most enthusiastic.

Taylor couldn’t help but shake his head in admiration: "Tsk, Boss, judging by their behavior, they seem to have already received the news. Surprisingly, it was kept quite confidential.

Look at their sycophantic expressions; even dogs would shake their heads."

Lette pressed down on his head and said: "That was my oversight; I underestimated them. I thought it was just a cesspool, but they found a stick to stir it.

Great, now we have to endure being disgusted several times."

Taylor patted his shoulder: "Brother, don’t worry. What’s the worst she can do to you?!"

"Archbishop Cardwen, could you come over for a moment?"

Vanessa suddenly called out from among the crowd, and the Black robed Archbishop Cardwen tensed up, reluctantly stepping forward.

"Princess, what do you need?"

"Archbishop, you’re too polite. Just call me Vanessa as before."

After exchanging pleasantries with a smile, the Gun Knight Princess immediately turned angry: "Archbishop Cardwen, I want to lodge a complaint!

Our country’s envoy was shamelessly attacked last night!

We had already passed through the Holy Tower, and the incident occurred within the Holy City’s jurisdiction. Archbishop, please give our country’s envoy an explanation."

Swish! Almost everyone turned their heads in unison to look at Lette.

Archbishop Cardwen’s face looked grim, and he coughed twice: "Well, our Holy City’s surrounding security has always been good.

Assaults are impossible! Princess Vanessa, could there be some misunderstanding here?"

"There’s absolutely no misunderstanding! I was out foraging with Galado at the time, and when we returned, we found our Holy Rose Knights’ camp completely destroyed.

According to the report from my knights, I was furious.

The perpetrator brazenly launched an attack from the front on our knights’ camp, claiming to be ruthless robbers!

The most infuriating thing is they attempted to take liberties with us!"

Swish! The crowd’s gaze once again focused on Lette’s face.

Vanessa continued her accusation: "Of course, the ladies of my knight order firmly rejected their demands.

As a result, the perpetrators flew into a rage and bombarded my knights with Flame Magic.

They instructed an accomplice, a female Wind Mage, to destroy our camp!

Then, they bold-facedly left!

Their attitude was arrogant! The consequences severe!

Please, Archbishop Cardwen, thoroughly investigate and bring the culprits to justice!"

Facing the third wave of glances, Lette remained unfazed.

"What are you looking at? She said it was two mages who did it!

I’m an Apprentice Saint with a 100% affinity for Light Elements! Who here doesn’t know!

And you believe I’d go out at night to take liberties? Do you?

I’m a gentleman! I read the Spring and Autumn Annals!"

Though people didn’t know what the Spring and Autumn Annals were, most chose to believe Lette in this matter.

After all, during Lette’s two years in the Holy City, although he often caused trouble, he maintained a clean personal conduct.

Even his only rumored girlfriend was Joanna.

However, just as suspicion towards Lette was waning, a familiar voice came from outside the crowd.

"Lette! We’re here! There was just a huge dragon! Oh, by the way, we met Flander on the way!"

Turning to look, the petite and adorable Lilith, with the generously endowed but scantily dressed Emily, and Flander in a maid outfit, were waving at Lette.

At that moment, Lette’s eyes gradually lost their sparkle.

"Demon! It’s a Demon!"

Suddenly, the Light Holy Dragon Galado, who had remained silent, erupted, transforming its arm into a thick Dragon Claw and charging towards Lilith.

"Demon! Exterminate!"
