When the Pople of the Radiant Church heard Siluca's words. He wasn't the least bit surprised.
He had more or less expected that this was the true reason for Siluca's appearance here. He could even think of a reason for Siluca to support the Radiant Church in the battle against the Roger Dukedom 'She wants to use this opportunity to connect with us and increase her house's prestige.'
'Once the citizens hear that Walsh Dukedom is assisting us in the fight against the Roger Dukedom, it would greatly boost Walsh Dukedom's prestige. They would appear quite righteous while fighting against Roger Dukedom for us.'
Pope quickly made his decision, "I am thankful to hear this. However, the Radiant Church doesn't wish to trouble the duchess with this. We can handle this on our own."
Siluca spoke with a smile, "Please don't be so hasty in making your decision. Cooperation with Walsh Dukedom will only benefit you."
"Shouldn't you say that it would benefit both of us? Your gains wouldn't be any less than ours." The Pope spoke with a sneer.
Siluca replied, "This will be mutual cooperation. I will send my subordinate to discuss the terms with you. You can decide whether you want to join hands with after you hear the terms."
She didn't wait to hear the Pope's reply. She turned her head and spoke, "Good day."
The Pope continued to stare in Siluca's direction blankly. He couldn't help but frown. 'Sothing has changed. She seems different. She was never this confident while talking to . Does she have a trump card?'
However, the Pope wasn't too worried. It wasn't just Siluca who had a trump card. He had a trump card of his own. Moreover, his trump card was definitely superior to Siluca's trump card.
This filled the Pope with endless confidence. He was ready to deal with any hidden tactics from Siluca.
After a few hours, Edwin appeared in the Radiant Church. He hid his identity using a mask.
However, using this mask also revealed another one of his identity. It was his identity as a Dark Shadow.
The information about the Dark Shadow hadn't just spread in the Noble Family. It had quickly circulated within the Radiant Church's network.
They recognized him as the Dark Shadow as soon as they laid their eyes on his mask.
Edwin, though didn't mind that they recognized him as Dark Shadow. Trying to hide this identity for too long wouldn't work.
There were bound to be so n investigating Dark Shadow and connecting the dots with Edwin Rhodes.
As a result, Edwin had made up his mind that he should do it on his terms since his identity would be exposed sooner or later.
Only through this could he extract maximum benefit from this situation.
As Edwin headed inside the church, he t up with a priest and asked him, "Can you please point the way for to the Pople?"
The priest he was talking to appeared to be old. His eyes were filled with benevolence and wisdom.
"Why do you want to et the Pople, child?" The old priest was asking rather kindly.
This old priest ahead of Edwin was near the sa level as the head priest in the Radiant Church's Branch at Kresa Town.
There was a solemn look on Edwin's face as he answered the old priest, "Duchess ordered to et him."
Once the priest heard that Edwin was here on Siluca's order, he imdiately understood the situation.
The Pope had already inford the priests and the bishops that if soone under Siluca's orders does co, allow them to see him.
Since Edwin was here on Siluca's order, the old priest was more than happy to show him to way to the Pope's chambers.
However, before he even took three steps towards the Pope's chamber, a man opened the gate and rushed out of the residential chambers of the Church.
What startled the priests and the bishops was that this man was none other than the respected Pope!
There was an excited as well as a devoted look on the Pope's face as he looked in Edwin's direction.
"Are you the one who entered the Radiant Church just now?" The Pope was asking just for confirmation.
Edwin responded with a nod since this was the truth. Seeing the thrilled look of the Pope, he was delighted internally. His guess was correct!
"Greetings to the respected Pop-" Before he could even give a respectful bow to the Pope, the man imdiately appeared next to Edwin and grabbed his shoulder.
The prevented Edwin from respectfully bowing to him.
"I don't dare to receive the bow from the Holy Son?!" The Pope imdiately spoke.
As he spoke, he was getting more excited. Edwin knew the reason for the Pope's excitent.
When the Pope touched Edwin just now, he had sent a faint amount of Ardor in Edwin's body. It was so thin that a normal warrior wouldn't be able to sense it.
And in return, he felt a suppressive aura. This aura was so suppressive that his body was getting heavier, and he wished to prostrate himself to Edwin right now.
Edwin didn't want the Pope to spill all the beams in front of these priests and the bishops.
"Let's talk privately." Edwin sent a spiritual ssage to the Pope.
The Pope imdiately understood that Edwin didn't wish to reveal his identity in public. He didn't question Edwin.
What sort of identity did the Holy Son have?! How could a lowly human like him dare to question the Holy Son?!
A Pope, who was well respected even by the King, was much inferior in terms of identity than a Holy Son.
This ranking was devised by the Celestials for their own use.
Deacons, priests, bishops, archbishops, pope were all humans who had been blessed by the Celestials to use Holy Ardor.
There were certain humans whose bloodlines would mutate. These humans would possess intrinsic Holy Ardor.
These people were considered Divine Envoys. The Celestials would select these Divine Envoys as their guards.
This was a very reverent job. Almost every cleric or adherent of these religions would fantasize about it. After becoming Divine Envoys, they could live in Heaven and protect their gods with their own lives.
So demi-humans possessed the blood of the Celestials. Generally, this blood of Celestials had to be defined.
Whether it was the Blood of an Angel or of a God.
The 6 Star Experts of the Celestials possessing the pure Celestial Blood were Angels. In fact, they were called Lesser Angels.
The 7 Star Experts were also Angels, but they were called Greater Angels or Archangels.
The 8 Star Experts of the Celestials were titled 'Gods.'
The 9 Star Expert of the Celestial was called a Primordial God.
A demi-human possessing the blood of an Angel would be titled 'Favored.'
However, if it was a demi-human possessing the blood of a God or a Primordial God, then his title would be 'Holy Son.'
Edwin had known about this information. Since the ti he stepped inside the Radiant Church, he had been flaring up his Celestial Blood.
The density and power of his Celestial Blood were quite great. He wasn't sure of the origin of his Celestial Bloodline, but it shouldn't be lower than that of an Archangel.
The Pope couldn't differentiate between a favored or a holy son.. The suppressive aura he felt made him believe that Edwin was undoubtedly a Holy Son.
