"Good news and bad news?"
Lanci couldn't help but tremble slightly in his throat.
Because this ti, Sigrid didn't seem like she was joking.
"Right, Sigrid, why don't you get off first, it's quite cramped on one chair, and this posture is a bit unbecoming."
He found Sigrid leaning too close, leaving him no room to escape.
He pointed to the sofa in the rest area of the Principal's Office, suggesting it was a more suitable place to discuss important matters.
Now he was a bit nervous.
"What, do you find heavy?"
Sigrid leaned in even closer and asked.
"No, not at all, Mr. Bishop, you're very light, a charming woman indeed."
Lanci's eyes were full of her exquisite beauty, her pupils like violets blossoming in spring, imperious and unyielding.
"Humph, smooth talker, I'll start with the good news then."
Sigrid laughed twice, still playfully squeezing into the office chair with Lanci, pressing on him without any hesitation.
"Look at this, what is it?"
Her voice rang out again, drawing Lanci's gaze to her hand.
She flicked a Holy Seal with her right thumb, which soared up like a coin.
It left a brief trail of silver light in the air before falling back into her palm.
Even though it was just a flash, Lanci saw it clearly.
He was very familiar with this style of Holy Seal.
He had seen it too many tis on mbers of the Protoss Empire's Hegemony Branch.
"Eh?"
Lanci gazed at the Holy Seal in Sigrid's hand, glowing with orange brilliance, and uttered a puzzled sound.
He had seen Sigrid's Bishop Holy Seal before.
It should be the Silver Moon Crown, with stars scattered around the edge of the crown made from shattered weapon pieces, as if foretelling the doom of rebels and their sorrowful, pitiful Destiny.
Now, the additional half of the Holy Seal was a dazzling sun, radiating intense light, golden flas stretching outward to forge a corona, each end embellished with a sparkling gem shining in different colors under the sunlight, like various emotions and powers sparked by love in people's hearts.
These arcs intersected each other, seemingly finite yet infinite.
The gleaming blaze of the Radiance Corona and the cold aura of the Silver Moon Crown were clearly distinguishable, yet they fit together harmoniously, with sun and moon shining together as if fated.
Click.
Sigrid gently snapped the new Holy Seal into two separate Holy Seals.
"Wow."
Lanci hurriedly reached out to catch Sigrid's Holy Seals.
He knew how important these Bishop Holy Seals were to Sigrid, her years of dedication.
"..."
Sigrid looked at Lanci's flustered expression and let out a chuckle,
"Let show you a magic trick."
She joined the Holy Seals in her left and right hands, and they rged back into their original form.
Lanci slightly raised the corner of his eye.
Since when could Proof of the Bishop be played with like a magnet?
Lanci exhaled in relief.
He had thought for a mont that Sigrid's strength had grown much more over the past year, strong enough to break the Bishop Holy Seal.
"This re Bishop Holy Seal, if I really wanted to break it, I probably could."
Sigrid saw through Lanci's thoughts and proclaid proudly.
"Your Divine Power is truly... What on earth did you eat growing up?"
Lanci asked the sa question as Talia had.
He hadn't expected Sigrid to actually manage it.
"Don't worry, I'm easy to feed, I won't bankrupt your family, you've been on dates with before, haven't you?" Sigrid said with a smile.
More than just dates, they had traveled together, each well acquainted with the other's habits.
"My family used to have so wealth, but tis are tough now."
Lanci sighed.
Upon closer inspection, he noticed that Sigrid's Holy Seal could be connected like a key or separated into two distinct Holy Seals.
[Proof of the Bishop - Overlord's Fervent Love]
[Category: Equipnt Card]
[Grade: Orange Epic]
[Attribute: Linkage/Basic]
[Rank: 0]
[Effect: Identity proof of the Bishop of Hegemony, can produce various ranks of Rebirth Testimonies for Overlord or Fervent Love branches, exerting special powers and intimidation attributes over holders of lower-level Rebirth Testimonies. Able to locate the general position of priests from the sa branch and identify the authenticity of Rebirth Testimonies displayed by other branches. Can unlock the Bishop's Council Hall, Desperate Arena, Bishop voting ceremony.]
[Remark: Holder Sigrid Novia.]
After Lanci completed the Identification, the Proof of the Bishop indeed differed from what Sigrid had shown him on the eve of the Empire's decisive battle.
"This is the dual Bishop's Proof?"
He was sure that Sigrid had significantly increased her standing within the Rebirth Church.
One person holding the power of two Bishops.
However, it was a bit different from what he had imagined, and also different from what Sigrid had initially told him.
How could it also sprout a subsidiary branch on its own?
"It could be said to have mutated a bit."
Sigrid explained to Lanci,
"When you temporarily returned your Saint's Testimony - Overlord to in the Snowfield Province of the Protoss, I rged it back into the Proof of the Bishop, but later in the Desperate Arena of the Congressional Building of the Empire, I used your power to defeat Asksan."
She shared her reasoning.
It was probably because in that Desperate Arena, the outco was judged as her and the Saint Heir defeating Asksan together, ultimately causing her Proof of the Bishop to beco this way.
Normally, the duel in the Desperate Arena between Bishops, contravening the standard route of advancing by slaying a Bishop, should have been an absolute conflict. But because of her and the Saint Heir's manoeuvre, they ended up with an unprecedented and bizarre judgent for the Proof of the Bishop.
