So, what's the point of buying those small tal pieces with her portrait on them?
Don't be fooled by the people from the Warlock Association; that's not going to increase your Awakening probability!
"Don't waste money! And definitely don't scam others! Rejected!"
And so, during the last eting before leaving, the Hero sternly rejected all the opinions of the high-ranking officials led by the Cruising bishop.
It was the first ti she saw her colleagues in the Church show such a dejected expression.
Though she felt a bit sorry, sothing that wouldn't work simply wouldn't work.
She had so idea of how much manpower and resources it took to construct that massive Star Venue.
The bishop responsible for finances had been working overti every day, relying on Magic Potions to fill the deficit. How could she bear letting the Church invest more in this?
Although so bishops remained adamant at the eting, claiming that "more popularity would make the final effect of the palace ceremony even stronger."
Another part of herself was also constantly urging: 'Opportunities like this are rare, and they should just let the Church go all-in with spending money!'
Yet, the Hero considered herself neither a Magician nor a fledgling chick who could be easily fooled.
The true essence of the palace ceremony is to establish one's own "seat" in this world.
Thus, those with power and territory, already in high positions, often have an advantage in this aspect.
But it's definitely not the case that the more followers and subordinates one has, the stronger their power becos.
Otherwise, the old King wouldn't have just stopped at Legendary.
And her own father, though rely a Mage Viscount in a small city without any real power or territory, also managed to break through to the palace, didn't he?
So, as long as the basic conditions are t, the final effect of the palace ceremony will not differ much.
Though the Hero was not entirely indifferent, and wondered what scale the century's performance would beco if the Church operated at full capacity, it was rely a curiosity for "spectacle."
In her dreams, she acted as an empress, followed another part of herself and engaged in vast construction projects with reckless abandon, to partly satisfy this curiosity.
But ultimately, the presence or absence of power, the number of supporters, all are external.
What ultimately determines the strength and grandeur of the palace is the Professional's own spirit and will.
Therefore, there's no need to squander resources and burden the people for a slight psychological comfort effect.
With this rationale, the Hero swept away all the proposals of the Clerics.
What puzzled her at the ti, though, was the old Pope—the main proponent of the "century's performance"—remained composed and silent throughout the eting.
Theoretically, the Pope and the Saintess hold equal status. Within the Church hierarchy, the Pope is responsible for execution and organization, including advising the Saintess to avoid unilateral actions.
In hindsight, the old Pope clearly hadn't given up on persuasion, but rather he had already made up his mind, quietly collecting all the rejected suggestions, waiting for the right mont.
As soon as the Hero left the Holy City for the Isolated Island, he imdiately used his authority as the de facto ruler of the Holy City to open all permissions!
Otherwise, even if the people wanted to spontaneously promote sothing, without the Church's tacit agreent or active organization, it would be impossible for the entire Holy City to beco so fervent in such a short ti.
'Ha ha ha, you really didn't disappoint , old man! Well done!' deep in her mind, the Depraved Hero let out a mischievous laugh.
"Ah! You knew all along!" The Hero angrily questioned in her heart.
'What are you talking about? If I could think of it, can't you, silly girl?' The Depraved Hero shook her head with a teasing tone, 'It's just that you chose to believe in the old man's "rationality," while I chose to believe in his "foolishness"!'
'Let's just say you're still too naive. Inherently not smart, how can you still hold expectations for humankind?'
'If humankind could always remain rational and not engage in seemingly aningless acts, this world would have perished long ago,' she snorted softly.
'Moreover, the people of the Church have always been followers of "," this fool.'
For a mont, the Hero was speechless.
Everyone in the Church, even if it ant incurring disproportionate costs and going against the Saintess's wishes, wished to enhance her ceremony by even the slightest.
The Hero deed it unworthy and thus stopped them.
But their starting point was to support her.
If she wanted to help her friends, even if they said "it's not worth it" and told her not to do it, would she just obediently stop?
...No, she would secretly help.
From this perspective, they weren't opposing the Saintess but rather doing what "the Saintess would do."
Is it to go against one's heart and follow the Saintess's goodwill?
Or to align with the Saintess and take straightforward action?
Clearly, everyone in the Church chose the latter.
Even if she could foresee this scene, could she really keep a cold face and deny them all before departure?
Being exposed like this by another part of herself, the Hero's anger waned significantly.
A gentle breeze blew, her white dress fluttered, and she landed lightly in the alley, not disturbing anyone.
Seeing the streets filled with portraits of herself, the young girl placed her hands on her hips with a bit of helplessness.
"...Well, anyway, let's head to the Cathedral first to see what's going on."
