"So, you are the one who sought the help of Shantia's people to seek out?"
The Archbishop of the Earth Mother God Sect looked at the armor-clad Jonathan, his face sporting a kindly smile, much like a neighborly elder.
Such a smile eased Jonathan's sowhat tense mood a bit, and when he thought of the [Kael's Infinite Scroll] on his back, his face finally showed a hint of a smile.
"To be precise, it's my lord whom I serve," Jonathan's voice was very soft.
"Then your lord must be an incredibly charismatic person, willing to have his followers lay down their lives for him."
The Archbishop's smile was calm and gentle. From Jonathan's eyes, he saw an unwavering gaze, a look he had seen many tis among the mbers of the Earth Mother Goddess Church.
For instance, those who know that this war is an unjust war, but to ensure Shantia's glory does not fade on the sacred land of Briania, they resolutely turned themselves into prayer warriors.
Like this warrior, they were among the bravest people.
Thinking of this, he sighed softly and said, "Speak. I do not know where you found so many beings with the power of my god."
"But since you went to such great lengths, you must have more than just wanting to et , correct? Let's be frank!"
"This ti, I mainly ca to et with the Archbishop, hoping we could form an alliance,"
Just as the Archbishop had stated, Jonathan had no intentions of hiding and directly revealed Kael's purpose.
All of this was a decision made by Kael.
When the decisions had already reached the highest level, there was no need to hide anymore. The sincerity shown through frankness far surpassed the sincerity of deceit.
"My lord said that once you see this, you will understand."
After saying this, Jonathan placed the gigantic scroll that had been slung over his back onto the table, and then said, "Sir, please!"
The Archbishop glanced curiously at the scroll, "Scroll Scholar?"
Jonathan nodded.
The Archbishop, lost in thought, reached out to take the scroll, his body pausing slightly as he touched it.
"The Power of Faith?"
A subtle expression flashed across his face. This was not sothing an ordinary person could utilize.
To be precise, divine power itself was the power of faith purified and imbued with the deity's own traits. Of course, the details were complex and the result could only be speculated based on so internal church records.
After all, many deities chose to gather the power of faith from the masses and then convert it into divine power, so in many respects, the power of faith could be considered equivalent to divine power.
Similarly, there were special powerful beings like the Totem Lords who could transform the power of faith into totem power for their use.
However, in battles between deities and totems, the totems were ultimately defeated, with many being made into specins by the deities, leaving only a few weak ones lurking in remote tribes, becoming the most primitive of faith gods.
Hmm... but from the current situation, they no longer had the chance to erge from their tribes.
In other words, the easiest group to invoke and use the power of faith in this world were mainly the deities.
His deep gaze fell upon this warrior, as if trying to see through him to the entity hidden behind him.
Finally, while flipping through this scroll filled with an extraordinary number of Divine Arts, he saw a comprehensive list of Shantia's Divine Arts.
Archbishop: ???
Initially, still carrying a bit of an old man's playful attitude, his mouth twitched involuntarily.
Great, really impressive, observing the situation only to find himself involved!
Where did this fool co from, losing such an important personal Divine Art record, and allowing the Scroll Scholars to obtain it?
However, the Archbishop was ultimately wise and quickly realized he might be mistaken.
After all, the Divine Arts of the Earth Mother God recorded on this scroll even exceeded those he himself knew. If he included the Divine Arts of other deities, it could be considered a Divine Arts kaleidoscope.
Frankly speaking, if soone from the Earth Mother Goddess Church had indeed lost their personal Divine Art records, such a person could never have reached the upper echelons of the church.
So...
Was it a deliberate act to hand over the relevant Divine Arts records to the Scroll Scholar hidden behind the scenes?
Looking at the nurous Divine Arts recorded by their god, the Archbishop was almost certain if these Divine Arts all ca from one person.
If it was as he thought, then many things beca interesting.
After all, those capable of such a feat were invariably Cardinals. Reaching the position of Cardinal, even the Pope could not ignore them lightly, and there were not many entities on the continent deserving such a costly gesture of goodwill.
All right, the main reason was that the Scroll Scholar group, though notably powerful in the mid-stages, had not yet produced soone powerful enough to warrant a Cardinal handing over all their own Divine Arts.
So, after eliminating all impossible options, the final result, albeit sowhat unbelievable, was most likely the truth.
