Chapter 708: D256. Broken Sword
The young girl stood in front of the overly simple church door, her eyes scanning the sparse papers on the bulletin board.
“Commission, advertisent, ager donations…” the Hero muttered as she looked.
As the headquarters of the Church, the many churches in the Holy City not only serve the most basic functions of prayer and confession, but also take on different roles based on their respective faction’s principles.
For example, the Ocean Church, which belongs to the Mariti Sect, advocates for the exploration of new sea routes and obtaining resources from the endless ocean. However, in recent tis, it has declined and mainly focuses on the supervision of the Inner Sea’s environnt and fishery managent.
The Faith Church, where the Cruising Bishop and the Spirit God Mage belong, is one of the prominent factions in the Inner Court. It is responsible for training new mbers, teaching them the morals and guidelines of being a Cleric, and is also the sect that absorbs the most Reincarnators.
For those Second Transformation, Legendary, or even those wanting to step into the Palace of Professionals, the best choice for career change within the Church is the Faith Church, dedicated to realizing ideals through faith.
All churches accept external commissions. The more formal ones have dedicated reception, formalizing the commission process; the simpler ones just have commission notices posted on the bulletin board, awaiting acceptance.
The role of the Evil-breaking Church needs no further explanation; as the na suggests, it is to eliminate the world’s evils.
However, the commission notices on the bulletin board in front of her were pitifully few, mostly sightings of Goblins in so remote area, with the reward amounts making one doubt if it’s enough for travel expenses.
Rather than commissions, they seed more like simple paid ssages.
The Hero thought for a mont and quickly understood the reason.
These extermination requests are not urgent at all, appearing to be soone who occasionally discovered a Goblin and, rembering the Evil-breaking Church’s promotion, left a ssage offhandedly.
But looking at the minuscule reward amounts, even the Hero, who usually doesn’t have much need for money, couldn’t help but sigh.
“It’s good that no one is hard by Goblins… But it seems ideals really can’t be eaten.”
She shook her head and looked at the ager donation initiative beside her, further feeling the operational plight of this church in daily life.
Although the Central Holy Domain provides basic subsidies to all churches within the city, more believers and funding must clearly be sought on their own.
After reading the commissions on the bulletin board, the Hero quietly noted the locations of Goblin sightings among them, then stepped into the church.
Upon entering, the Hero imdiately sensed a divine and pristine Spirit Light perating the air.
‘The formal churches in the Holy City all have unique structures; they are ritual sites for forging Holy Artifacts.’
Recollections from the Church’s texts flashed through her mind as she followed the Radiance’s guidance, casting her gaze toward the church’s central symbol.

The holy Spirit Light filled the entire church, as sunlight through crystal windows enveloped the broken sword at the church center in a pure Radiance.
Just by gazing at it, an inexplicable peace welled up within the heart.
While in the countryside church, she had never felt this way.
It seems that no matter how desolate it gets, this place is still a formal church within the Holy City, incomparable to her little countryside church in terms of internal specifications.
However, with so few visitors outside, it wasn’t exactly bustling inside the church either.
The Hero quickly shook off this emotion and saw under the symbol, a person kneeling in prayer.

At the ancient church center, a rusted broken sword was enshrined on a high platform, with the clear morning light through the upper crystal windows bathing it in a pure and holy glow.
This unremarkable broken sword, in the Hero’s Perception, was the center of the entire church, the source of the Holy Spirit Light.
And beneath the broken sword, there half-kneeled a middle-aged man, wearing a bishop’s Church Robe, his weathered back barely concealing an air of decadence.
Although his Temperant appeared sowhat unreliable, it seed that he was the manager of this church.
Finishing his prayer, the man rose slowly from the ground, still imrsed in his thoughts.
‘If only we could have a Saintess candidate too… Hmm?’
The Legendary Professional’s Perception caused the Evil-breaking Bishop to shudder violently.
“Hello.” It was at this mont that the Hero greeted.
The Hero’s greeting reached his ears, and the man’s slightly hunched back straightened imdiately, as he hurriedly turned around.
His originally murky orange eyes lit up with brilliance at the sight of the Hero’s Posture.
[Attitude (80 – hesitant, 80 invitation)]
D30 70=d30(1) 70=71
Under hair the color of straw, the man’s expression brimd with excitent and delight.
Although the Hero had only greeted him without revealing her identity and wore the simplest Nun’s Clothes.
