With Amy leading the way, it didn’t take long for us to arrive at the church.
Once we were at the church, there was no need for her to hide her identity anymore.
And once her identity as saintess was revealed, it didn’t take long for us to be surrounded.
However, there were holy knights that ca out that quickly restored order.
With a bow, the leader of this group of holy knights said to Amy, "Your holiness, please follow . The archbishop is waiting for you."
"The archbishop?" Amy couldn’t help repeating in a surprised voice.
After all, it wasn’t as if this place was the headquarters of the entire church.
This place was nothing more than a branch that was established in the Abel Kingdom for the church to provide services to the Abel Kingdom and its people. Normally this branch would only be headed by a bishop, not an archbishop.
There were only four archbishops in the entire church in the first place, so their status was just below that of pope. They were the ones that handled the major matters of the church for the pope.
The saintess wasn’t that low in status either since there was only one of her, but Amy was a rather young saintess.
She hadn’t built up prestige yet like the pope and archbishop had done.
At the sa ti...
"Little Amy, you’re here!"
A friendly old voice called out before we could even be led to et the archbishop. Instead, it was the archbishop who ca out to greet us.
Just like his voice, he was a friendly looking old man with a bald head, glasses, and a white beard. Instead of an archbishop, he looked like the friendly old man from next door.
But for those that were familiar with holy energy, they would be able to tell that there was sothing different about this friendly looking old man.
After all, anyone that possessed this kind of holy energy definitely wouldn’t just be an ordinary old man.
But the mont that Amy heard this, there was an embarrassed look that appeared on her face.
The two of them didn’t seem like higher ups of the church, rather they seed like they were grandfather and granddaughter.
One of the holy knights that ca with us explained, "The saintess grew up in the headquarters of the church and was beloved by everyone. Since they went on to beco priests, you understand that many of them didn’t have children of their own. That’s why they treated her like their granddaughter."
I gave a nod to show I understood, but I did have one doubt.
It was the fact that it wasn’t required of a priest to remain celibate in this world.
This was a ga world that had freedom for its players, so of course there was no need for this.
It was strange to hear the holy knight say that most priests remained celibate when there was no need to do so.
But then again, it wasn’t as if priests had all that ti to chase after won...
Once the two of them had their mont, the kind looking archbishop ca over to look at . When he looked at , his eyes were narrowed as if he was looking at carefully, like he was scrutinizing .
There was a mont of silence before he finally said, "It’s good to see you, hero. If you would, could you please show us the..."
His voice trailed off, but it was clear what he was referring to.
So I raised my hand and pulled out the hero’s sword.
This hero’s sword was a special relic, so it wasn’t as if I was carrying it around all the ti. Instead, I could summon it out whenever I wanted with a single thought and put it away just as quickly.
When the hero’s sword ca out, the archbishop ca forward to take a closer look before a smile appeared on his face.
This ti, it seed that he had accepted as the hero when he looked at .
This hero’s sword did have a special place in the hearts of those from the church, so seeing it was more than enough to prove my identity.
Even if they didn’t feel that I was worthy, there was nothing that they could say once the hero’s sword ca out. Or at least it was clear that this was what so of the holy knights were thinking.
These holy knights made it very clear that they had thought that they would be able to pull the hero’s sword one day.
Only it was too late since I had already pulled it out.
It wasn’t as if I could stick the hero’s sword back in.
"Co in, co in, there’s much that we have to talk about. Right now, you’re just beginning on your path as a hero." The archbishop turned around and started leading the way into the church.
As we walked along, he added, "You didn’t think that this would just make you a hero already, right? There’s still plenty of things that you have to do before you can beco a full fledged hero."
But as we were walking along, the archbishop suddenly turned back around to look at .
Or it was better to say that he turned around to look at Amy who had co back to walk beside .
He raised his staff so that it ca between the two of us and then said, "Co and help walk. It’s getting harder and harder in my old age."
He had been walking perfectly fine just earlier, but now he was calling for Amy to co to his side.
It was clear what he ant by this.
So even if she didn’t want to do it, she still went over to the archbishop’s side.
It seed that even if I was approved as a hero, I hadn’t received approval for sothing else yet.
