If the Dinsional Bishop were to take the initiative to et with , it would likely an that there might be so cooperative matters at hand, hence such a grand gesture of personally coming to the Kingdom Joint Council's frontline border.
"First, let answer your question from earlier, about how long it would take for you to get to your desired destination."
Dinsion Bishop Toriyado's deanor beca slightly more solemn,
"I can send you directly to the Capital Bulerida of Crystal, but you'll also need to help our Dinsional Branch with a favor."
He stated, his tone radiating confidence and resolution.
"Oh?"
The wind blew, whisking leaves through the air, rustling Sigrid's hair, but her expression of surprise remained unchanged.
She didn't expect that the Dinsional Bishop could actually transport her directly to Bulida City.
Under normal circumstances, if she wasn't in a rush, she might not care about this transportation, but now she was indeed keen on making this deal.
"Let's hear it."
Sigrid spoke to Toriyado.
"From now on, you will be a Grand Priest of our Dinsional Branch. Play this role well, then pass through the Spatial Gate, and you will arrive on the second floor of the Brielda Opera House, where the Dinsional Saintess is waiting."
While speaking, Toriyado's expression grew more focused as he began to conjure a Spatial Artifice.
He seed so certain Sigrid wouldn't reject his offer, searching for coordinates in advance and then drawing a silver-sparkling circle by the roadside, connecting to a Spatial Barrier constructed by their Dinsional Branch.
"I haven't agreed to this deal yet."
Sigrid stared at the other side of the Spatial Gate, her face creased with a slight frown, but deep down she was certain that Toriyado wasn't joking and indeed had sothing significant to request of her.
If she wasn't mistaken, this would be their Dinsional Branch stronghold within Bulida City.
The stronghold had a complex structural design and shielding barriers, ensuring that even using a high-level Space Spell to connect it wouldn't trigger the alert of the powerful figures in the Cerryti Empire.
Contrarily, choosing other transportation points would quickly draw unwanted scrutiny due to Toriyado's intense Eight-order Magic Power.
Through the half-drawn curtains of the Spatial Gate, one could see a rather unique mansion terrace, which turned out to be the upper level of the Brielda Opera House.
Inside, the space was as extensive as the entire performing hall of the opera house, a hybrid of Divine Era temple and modern library styles.
One could clearly see Bulida City's landmark buildings and downtown central district Manholt, as well as the expansive Broadway Central Square. In front of the opera house's main square were two symtrical circular fountains, their walls built of brown granite, the water jets rising and falling in rhythm with the music.
"Your new identity docunts and detailed information are all ready too. They are indeed from our Dinsional Branch, all pass customs and security checks for you, so you can directly integrate into life in Bulida City. Our Dinsional Express is known for imdiate delivery upon ordering."
Toriyado continued to describe their service policy.
Professional and delivered with utmost sincerity.
"What exactly do I need to do?"
Sigrid thought it over for a mont, finding the proposition acceptable, and inquired.
The services offered by the Dinsional Branch were indeed considerate and worth contemplating an alliance.
She wasn't averse to playing the role of a Priest from another branch, as she had done it before.
Moreover, if allowed by the Dinsional Bishop himself, she was also more than willing to use the na of the Dinsional Branch to perfectly infiltrate the Rebirth Church on the South Continent, playing by the rules of role-playing.
"Help with a delivery task. Go to the Saint Kray Temple, knock on the door, seek out Professor Landry and say you're from the Dinsional Branch, and he will let you in. From there, you can talk further with him."
Toriyado responded eagerly, as if not wanting to delay a single second more.
"It's that simple?"
Sigrid was stunned, she couldn't help wondering if there was so catch.
She had thought Toriyado would want her help in taking down so Eight-order Strongman.
But such an easy condition also made her hesitant to use the Spatial Gate. After all, it was the very heartland of the Cerryti Empire, and if there was an ambush once she went through, even she would find it difficult to escape.
"It's not simple at all. Only you can fulfill the promise between Professor Landry and ."
Toriyado affird, clenching his fist.
This was precisely the unpredictable stage of Destiny he had hoped to see!
"What about the information on the person I'm looking for? Do you have any leads?"
Sigrid asked him further.
She didn't want to spend too much ti on courier work.
"Once this transaction is complete, I'll gift you the intelligence I have on him as a freebie."
As Toriyado said this, seeing that Sigrid still had her doubts, he tossed her an insignia glowing with a silver radiance.
Sigrid caught it steadily with one hand.
It had a frawork of light grey and silver-white tal, with a suspended multifaceted crystal at the center, resembling a holographic illusion emanating a dreamlike pale blue light, within which nebulae seed to be slowly drifting.
The holographic illusions of geotric shapes rising from the seal appeared to form the fundantal structure of space-ti.
It was Sigrid's first ti seeing a Bishop's Holy Seal with such an unstable structure.
[Proof of the Bishop - Dinsional]
[Category: Equipnt Card]
[Grade: Orange Epic]
[Attribute: Link/Spatial]
[Rank: 0]
[Effect: An identity proof of the Dinsional Bishop, capable of creating Resurrection Credentials of all levels within the Dinsional Branch. It has a special attack and deterrence attribute against holders of lower-level Resurrection Credentials, can roughly locate the position of priests within the sa branch, and can discern the authenticity of the Resurrection Credentials displayed by other branches. Grants access to the Bishop's Council Hall, Desperate Arena, and Bishop Voting Ceremonies.]
[Remarks: Holder Toriyado Alderdale.]
Sigrid looked at the seal with confusion, then looked up at Toriyado.
The Dinsional Bishop had directly pledged this item to her.
With this item in hand, Sigrid could forcibly open the Desperate Arena.
"Aren't you afraid I'll just kill you, loot your stone slab, and then take your bishopric powers?"
Sigrid didn't understand if all Cardinal Bishops from the South Continent were this distinctive.
For a Dinsional Bishop, once another bishop activates the Desperate Arena, there's truly no escape, and killing him would be easy.
Moreover, in a duel, the Dinsional Bishop would rank either last or second to last among the ten bishops.
Perhaps only the research-focused Cardinal Bishops exceptionally permitted by the Pope could compete with Toriyado in terms of lesser combat strength.
"You wouldn't do such a thing; I trust your character, Bishop of Hegemony Sigrid," Toriyado replied nonchalantly, fully trusting her.
His carefree deanor, as if saying his life was worthless and if soone really wanted him dead, then so be it.
"...What kind of promise made you so committed to fulfilling it for Professor Landry?"
Sigrid couldn't help but admire Toriyado a bit.
Even if the Dinsional Bishop's combat strength wasn't that strong, he was a true strongman with a profound understanding of life and death.
"Even dying would be worth the price of admission," Toriyado answered eagerly, his eyes unable to conceal his sense of mission.
"..."
Sigrid nodded slightly after a mont's hesitation.
Was it the idea of going through fire and water for a friend?
In this world, what she possessed were courage and trust, so she could understand Toriyado's conviction as well.
"No problem, I'll deliver it to you before noon, the Hegemony Branch values efficiency," Sigrid said confidently, stepping through the Spatial Gate.
The next instant she perceived the space-ti shifting in her field of vision, and after a few seconds, she found herself inside a large hall.
The do-shaped ceiling was approximately fifty ters high, painted in a style similar to that of an opera house's auditorium, but the walls were surrounded by dark brown solid wood bookshelves reaching up to the ceiling, each shelf filled with precious musical and theatrical docunts.
"Saint Kray Monastery..."
Sigrid silently recalled the critical delivery address information related by Toriyado.
Although she didn't know what the Dinsional Branch needed her to deliver.
But it must be sothing important, only soone with her skills could deliver it safely.
