Chapter 767: Chapter 275: A Loving Family (Part 3)
The Hero thought for a mont and reached out to pull the Holy Scripture Cloak from her shoulder.
As she injected her Magic Power, the cloak, which symbolized status and was also a Magic Scroll, blood with a golden glow. The holy text on it detached from the fabric, swirling and rotating in front of the Hero, quickly forming into a circular Magic Array.
The Hero’s gaze moved slightly, and within the array appeared a few lines of clear and elegant writing, briefly recounting the battle and the arrest of the Black Dream Key.
Once the description was complete, the array suddenly shrank into a ball of light, then shot up into the sky, transforming into a beam of light heading towards the Holy City.
“Are you going to take back to the Judgent Court?”
Beside her, the Black Dream Key silently watched the scene until the beam of light disappeared over the horizon before speaking.
“Of course.”
The Hero nodded. It was a one-ti-use, ultra-long-distance Communication Scroll that every adjudicator was equipped with.
Even with the Church’s powerful resources, only one scroll could be allocated for each mission. In an ergency, as long as the person was still in the Kingdom, they could communicate with the Holy City.
After notifying the Judgent Court, the Hero finally had ti to inspect this mysterious Key of the Door.
The Black Dream Key’s face beneath the veil was unadorned, carrying a simple and pure beauty. At this mont, her lowered head made her appear even more gentle, with no trace of the madness one would expect from an apprentice intending to destroy the Holy City.
“Let’s go.” urged the Hero, letting her walk ahead. “No matter what entanglents you have with the Divine Knowledge Saintess, that blessing is still effective on —if you dare make any move, I will not hold back.”

“I naturally understand that.”
After being warned by the Hero and realizing she was now a prisoner, the Black Dream Key’s ntal state cald considerably.
Her unadorned face was full of world-weariness, a feeling she seed long accustod to, waking up from a beautiful dream only to face harsh reality.
“I must thank you for sending to the Judgent Court. This way, the Heresy Court can’t easily say anything, especially since the spoils belonging to the next Saintess candidate can’t be casually handed over.
“At least the Judgent Court upholds evidence and proportional punishnt, and won’t convict you just because of your thoughts.” said the Black Dream Key listlessly.
“The Judgent Court also has the death penalty.” the Hero reminded, puzzled.
The fact that the other had been lurking in the Holy City for who knows how long was understandable given her insight into the Church’s structure and dislike of the Heresy Court.
But her current deanor was confusing to the Hero. After all, as soone who plotted to conspire with the Great Demon and overthrow the Holy City, even if the Hero suddenly changed her mind and decided to decapitate her and play football with her head, it wouldn’t break any laws.
As the escape tactics of the Black Gate are well-known, if the Hero provided a precautionary excuse, no one could contest it.
‘Why not do it? I want to see her face die refusing to close her eyes.’ another self was eager to try.
‘You know it’s a high-level communication; the Judgent Court will soon send soone. You should calm down a bit…’
Unaware she had narrowly escaped once again, the Black Dream Key felt inexplicably cold but still shook her head.
“I won’t be sentenced to death. Not to ntion the intelligence I possess as the Key of the Door, those previously imprisoned in the Eternal Falling Dream need to rescue them one by one.”
Stepping out of the forest onto the main road, the Black Dream Key’s steps staggered slightly behind the Hero, revealing a self-deprecating smile.
“I never killed those people, maybe just for today. She must have seen it long ago: I don’t possess grand abilities to take everything with as I perish, just putting on an ostentatious performance like a clown, only to be easily captured once off-stage.”
“Though I agree life shouldn’t be lightly forsaken…”
Knowing the other’s injuries hadn’t healed, the Hero didn’t rush the Black Dream Key, as what she needed now was to wait for the Judgent Court’s people, being urgent might cause exposure.
But hearing the Black Dream Key sounding as if she’d abandoned everything except life, the Hero couldn’t help but feel hesitant.
Perceiving the Hero’s doubt and curiosity, the Black Dream Key was sowhat surprised.
“Weren’t you investigating recently, forcing to leave the Holy City ahead of schedule… Didn’t the old Pope tell you, you cured him?”
But looking down at the Ice Lock on her hand, she quickly realized.
“Indeed, how could he think… He probably thought you wouldn’t even encounter , let alone…”
“You know the Pope’s illness?”
This ti it was the Hero’s turn to be utterly shocked; the Pope’s corruption was a secret even within the Cathedral, known only to a select few who maintained a tacit understanding.
While it would explain the Black Dream Disciple’s audacious infiltration, it was unlikely the other side was obliged to keep the Church’s secrets. Leaking even so information might cause widespread panic and facilitate actions.
However, so far, the Hero hadn’t heard any similar rumors.
“Hum… of course I know, because—”

“Because, I am his daughter.”
The Black Dream Key said calmly, delivering words that caused the Hero’s pupils to tremble violently.
