The game has become a real alternate world-Chapter 166 - 98 Victory and Return/Gray Rock Fortress_3

"Holy Knight? Returning?" The knight beside the bishop was a bit puzzled.

All the holy knights in the vicinity were under his command, so what did it mean that a holy knight was returning?

Then he came to his senses.

"Is it a female holy knight?"

The soldier nodded.

"Haha, it seems we don’t need to worry anymore. Indeed, worthy of being the guardian knight of the saintess?"

Evidently, the returning female holy knight was Anrita. Before the soldier could leave, Anrita had already walked up.

Behind her followed a knight from the count.

"Anrita, welcome back. Your status looks good." The knight said.

Anrita nodded, glanced at the bishop, and saluted.

Then she got straight to the point and said, "I need to hold a meeting. I need to tell you all my experiences on this journey. I believe it will be helpful for your upcoming actions."

The bishop looked at her and nodded: "We are in need of your intelligence now."

Soon, a meeting that was simple yet important was convened.

In a conference hall within the fortress, all present were the commanding personnel of this fortress.

The lord of the entire prince’s territory—Prince Anistar, sat conspicuously at the main seat.

"Holy Knight, speak of the intelligence you’ve brought back."

Anrita stood up and nodded.

"Now let me recount my experiences after getting separated from my team along the way.

Let’s start from when I separated and joined forces with the count’s troops."

With those words, Anrita began to narrate her journey’s experiences and some crucial matters succinctly yet clearly.

She purposely concealed some of Kana’s unique behaviors and that peculiar power at this time.

"Faced with the remaining troops and defending alongside the civilians, the count abandoned the idea of crossing the wilderness.

With the prince’s help, they found a settlement place.

Of course, as I mentioned, he no longer likes strangers calling him a prince; he has forsaken his title.

After that, I followed them to get in contact with the dwarves, and finally, with the dwarves’ assistance, I returned here on this journey."

As Anrita’s narration concluded, the conference hall sank into silence.

Clearly, Anrita’s recount revealed a lot of information.

The bishop frowned slightly and said, "Are you certain? The issue with the Safro Kingdom is entirely caused by a deliberate transition from the entire nation’s upper and upper-middle tiers?"

Anrita nodded: "I am certain, as the source of the news is the count and Prince Kana."

"They are modifying themselves into a new race through the Stone of Creation? Is this confirmed?"

Anrita nodded once more: "The source of the information is Kana. Whether the status is confirmed, I don’t know, but from the information I received, I tend to affirm it."

The prince sat in the main seat, eyes fixed on the bishop, asking in a deep voice: "What does the church plan to do?"

At this moment, the bishop had no immediate response.

Because, quite simply, the church is a large power across nations and even continents.

Their main duty is to spread the gospel of Holy Light; they are a neutral organization standing on the side of justice.

If it’s confirmed that the ruling class of Safro, or even the upper-middle class, remain the same group, merely changed their race through the Stone of Creation.

A new race wanting to expand powers, initiating attacks on surrounding forces, conducting a thorough cleansing internally.

Such scenarios are all too normal.

For them, the Holy Light Church has neither the position nor the qualification to inexplicably lean towards any side.

The most they can do is to gather and accommodate war refugees from both sides during wartime.

Even though Safro’s Blood Race Royal Court appears like an evil race.

Unless the Blood Race Royal Court becomes the public enemy, a target of extreme vilification.

Otherwise, the Holy Light Church participating hastily would tarnish its own reputation.

Especially since the Blood Race Royal Court is merely conducting internal cleansing and has yet to launch external aggression; the church’s direct involvement in attacking would stand on weak ground.

This is precisely what worries Anrita.

"Alright, I understand. Then please, the church should manage those refugees, and once a war breaks out, it’s surely acceptable to assist in treating the wounded, right?"

The bishop nodded, "That’s our responsibility."

"That’s good then."

Surely, the Safro Kingdom doesn’t have the church, and judging by the nature of the Blood Race that Safro Kingdom wishes to convert to, it clearly has nothing to do with the Holy Light Church.

Although the troops of the Holy Light Church can’t directly participate in combat, their support and medical treatments from behind the lines are a formidable force.

Moreover, it’s reasonable and legal, without causing difficulties for the church.

The prince truly wants to see how mighty this new race born in a nook of the countryside could be?

With the conclusion of the meeting.

The knight from the count departed with the prince, carrying a letter from the count for the prince and Cohen Kingdom.

The count seeks formal recognition.

Anrita then followed the bishop into a small room after the meeting dispersed.

"Is there anything you’ve yet to say?" The bishop asked.

Anrita nodded and proceeded to describe Kana’s distinctiveness, the power Kana exhibited, and the Night Watchers Kana established.

"That prince who abandoned his royal title? Obtained power through a fragment of the Stone of Creation..."

The bishop mused silently.

The fragments of the Stone of Creation aren’t rare to them, those in high positions.

News of someone using fragments arises from time to time, and instances of people gaining prominence from using them occur often.

It’s just that the fragments aren’t as potent as imagined.

He couldn’t help but ask: "What’s the origin of the Safro royal family? How do they possess so many fragments of the Stone of Creation?"

He harbored suspicion.

Soon, he refocused on the matters at hand.

"Night Watchers? Young people with aspirations and ideals."

The bishop nodded, indicating his understanding.

After Anrita left, he remained in his spot, pondering.

No matter what, he had to establish one point, that is, the depth of the Blood Race’s darkness.

And what kind of purpose the Blood Race and the mysterious Safro royal family have?

These are matters demanding his attention.
