This Holy Knight is So Despicable!

Chapter 90: Chapter 90: The Master of Tactical Transitions

The Pope was taken aback by Lette’s words, looking at him and then at the astonished face of Flander.

"You... what do you want to do?"

"I..."

Before he could speak, the Pope dragged him outside the door: "Alright, speak now."

"Is it necessary to come out? This place isn’t soundproof either!"

"I just feel like you’re about to make some earth-shattering statement, and to prevent any desecration to Lady Goddess, I brought you out."

The Pope looked exhausted: "At least it’s not in front of the Goddess statue, which is the last bit of dignity I can maintain for Lady Goddess."

Lette shook his head speechlessly: "Here’s the thing, I’m planning to elevate Flander to the position of the new Apprentice Saintess.

Then, I’ll take this opportunity to promote the New Church!"

"...Isn’t that the sect that doesn’t worship the Holy Light Goddess but instead worships the God of Light!? Are you mad? Do you think Lady Goddess will agree to this?

She’s going to fight you to the death!"

Lette waved his hand repeatedly: "Rest assured, I’m doing this for a brighter future for the Holy Light.

After this Holy Presence Day ends, I’ll find a way to change the belief, letting everyone realize that the God of Light is actually the Holy Light Goddess.

This way, there’s no loss for Afra."

The Pope rubbed his forehead: "Then what’s the reason for your painstaking efforts to make the New Church rise?"

"To walk the enemy’s path, leaving the enemy nowhere to go!"

Then, Lette shared with the Pope everyone’s speculation that the enemy was planning to seize the divine position during the Holy Presence Day, which the Pope contemplated for a long time after hearing.

"I must say, this move is sinister and vicious. Although it sounds absurd, but... if all prerequisites can be met.

Those madmen from the Tower of Truth might just do it."

The Pope suddenly realized: "Wait, what does this have to do with your plan to promote the New Church?

In such a situation, shouldn’t the New Church be restricted? Even abolished?

Then assist Lady Goddess in slaying this God of Light, and be done with it!"

"You kill the second place, the third place becomes the second! The God of Light is the obvious second, are you sure they haven’t secretly prepared another God of Light?"

Lette extended his hand and slowly clenched it: "In this situation, you should seize the second place, making it the moat for the first place!

And to grasp a god, you need to grasp its believers!

We’ll write its doctrines! We’ll define its divinity! We’ll interpret its divine decrees!

Even if the enemy’s conspiracy succeeds, the ascended God of Light will still be under our control!

Besides...

For the Church.

Having a controllable second place is also a check and balance for Afra, isn’t it?

If she bickers with me again, I can point at her nose and say!

This God of Light, do it if you can! If not, get lost! Don’t think the Church won’t function without you!"

The Pope drooped his face: "You’ve said these words not just once before! I’m just afraid, after all your effort, you’ll end up working for someone else."

Lette was full of confidence: "We’re not good at crazy research. But preaching, that’s our forte.

Snatching the actual control of this Church from their hands is as easy as anything!

They’re now stalling to steal our homeland!

Then we’ll treat them with their own method! We’ll, in turn, steal their home!

A philosopher put it well! Convert every strategy home!"

The Pope was somewhat tempted at this point: "You do have a point, but I’ve seen how you preach... To be honest, defining your behavior as preaching is quite challenging."

"The process is not important, what’s important is the result! The goal is achieved, so who cares what it was!"

The Pope hesitated: "Alright, alright, alright! But there’s one thing! If you want to develop the New Church, you’ll have to do it yourself!

We at the Church Court will not fund a single penny!

And besides, some things can’t be done excessively!

With only a week until Holy Presence Day, we have to leave ourselves some dignity."

Lette rolled his eyes, thinking he could develop the New Church, but dreaming of getting even half a copper peso from his teacher was impossible.

"Don’t worry! I have a sense of proportion!"

"Ha!"

For Lette’s assurance, the Pope could only offer a cold laugh. If he had any sense of proportion, he wouldn’t be a Holy Sin.

"I’ll go back and draft a document for you. Although the process will take some time, this draft should be enough for you to make a big fuss, right?"

"Then, I’m troubling you, teacher!"

Lette bowed deeply to the Pope’s departing back and then returned to the room inside.

Looking at Flander’s expectant eyes, Lette smiled slightly: "It’s done. From now on, you’re one of the Apprentice Saintesses."

Flander trembled with excitement: "Re... Really? But didn’t you say before that the New Church and those people..."

"You don’t need to worry about other matters; I’ve got it covered. You just need to fulfill your role as a Saintess and assist me in promoting the New Church!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Flander was overwhelmed with joy, tears of happiness streaming down her face. Emily pulled her aside, congratulating her while calming her down.

Lilith looked back: "Why did the Pope leave?"

"Went back to draft documents and catch up on sleep. This time, he’ll probably have to endure Afra’s crazy complaints for up to sixteen hours."

Lette stood next to the bed, spreading his arms, unleashing countless Holy Lights, inscribing several Dharma Seals and Holy Texts within Joanna’s body.

Initially, the Divine Curse he set on Joanna was quite comprehensive, but new circumstances arose after this investigation, so he made temporary revisions and reinforcements, applying a few patches to increase security.

Then, Lette set several strong Seals at the bedside to prevent any miscreants from causing trouble here.

"Alright, let’s go! We have a lot to prepare."

After finishing all this, Lette finally left the Holy Tower with his group of three beautiful girls.

When they reached the outside of the Pope Palace, Lette stopped.

"Flander, you go back to the New Church and announce this good news. Lilith, take Emily over there too, and also ensure her safety."

"I’m fine with it, since I’m free anyway. But what about you, what are you going to do?"

Lette gave a mysterious smile: "I’m going to the Chamber of Commerce to prepare some things.

By tomorrow, I’ll show you how to quickly promote an unpopular sect!

Off we go!"

The Pope Palace is not very close to the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce on the commercial street, and by the time Lette arrived, it was already getting late.

Grandet, who was managing the evening closing of a snacks street, saw Lette and quickly ran over.

"Boss! You’re here!"

"Grandet, I’ll have many things to trouble you and the Chamber of Commerce with next."

"Boss, listen to yourself. These two streets are yours, I’m just your steward.

If it weren’t for you, we’d all be homeless, wandering around.

There’s no such thing as trouble! Just say the word, and I’d go through fire and water for you!"

Lette smiled and patted his shoulder: "No need for fire and water, you just need to get me a large amount of eggs."

"Eggs... Eggs?"

"Yes, and also get the best performers from the debtor’s stage at the Holy Temple, I’m planning to recruit them."
