Chapter 1063: Chapter 377: Dark Church Headquarters_2

Seeing his face full of the spirit of sacrifice, he was clearly ready to advance or retreat together with the people of Windsor.

Wayne left satisfied. Judging by Dusa’s reaction, which was to avoid him like the plague, she hadn’t received the same Divine Decree as Anastasia.

This was good news.

Good news should be shared. Wayne changed his route to visit and comfort the hardworking Pope.

There were many people during the day and the Pope’s dignity was compromised. Now he knelt down, hoping His Holiness the Pope would let bygones be bygones and not make things difficult for him at work.

The Pope remained resentful about the day’s events. Dressed in the long robes of the Pope, she trampled mercilessly on Wayne’s dignity.

————

Ten days later, on March 15th.

Wayne was formally appointed as the Divine Oracle High Priest, with Pope Saina personally conferring the role, and the Church’s high-ranking officials gathered, with the three Divine Oracle High Priests expressing friendly attitudes towards their new colleague.

They had to be friendly. This one was a Naturalist Knight.

On the day of his appointment, Wayne received a mission to visit the Dark Church. Ten days of visitation awaited, and Pope Ivan of the Dark Church expressed his eager welcome in the reply.

There was no choice but to welcome him. This one was the Goddess’s lover.

The schedule was set, and departure was immediate.

Wayne left for the airport in light gear, leaving Odilia and Regina behind to study and practice their secretarial skills under Pope Saina.

Five hours in total, most of it spent at the airport, made Wayne complain again about the terrible flying conditions, bemoaning the lack of a luxurious private jet.

And worse was to come.

It was mid-March at the time, just the beginning of spring for the Ross Federation, with the ice and snow yet to melt, only a slight warming in temperature.

The earth was dressed in a silver garb, trees lining the streets were adorned with crystal-clear icicles, red walls, golden rooftops, and white snow together creating a picturesque scene with the ancient architecture and the snow view providing a unique flavor.

The locals couldn’t understand Prussian, but on the contrary, it came in handy when spoken in Prussia.

This was something the Frankish people couldn’t envy.

The street view of the Ross Federation was beautiful indeed, but the piercing cold wind seemed to freeze one’s marrow, not so friendly to ordinary people. Pedestrians wrapped themselves in heavy winter clothes, necks shrunk, hurrying along the road, afraid the cold at their heels would catch up.

The cold, like a cold-blooded Monarch, ruled over this vast land enforcing the most cruel autocracy.

Wayne, as the Divine Oracle High Priest of the Naturalism Church and an Envoy of The Church, arrived in the Ross Federation with a retinue of over thirty people, quite a grand scene.

To show respect, the Dark Church arranged a grand reception at the airport, with Ross Federation’s agents discreetly seen around, the officials closely monitoring the meeting between the two Churches.

Here on the God-chosen Continent, although the Ross Federation still carried the red bloodline, it had a respectful attitude towards religious faith, and the Heavenly Father’s Court also held a significant status on this land.

All in all, except for the Heavenly Father’s Court, the other five mainstream Churches kept a very low profile.

At least on the surface.

Especially the Dark Church and Death Church, the former habitually keeping a low profile, secluding themselves wherever there were fewer people at the two poles, and the latter disappearing altogether, without a major presence, only sporadic gatherings, their influence entirely dependent on the passion of the grassroots believers.

The Dark Church had a Pope, a Holy Maiden, and maintained contact with the outside world, whereas the Death Church completely secluded itself, with the Pope and Holy Maiden unseen for years, and even Church headquarters relocated.

Currently in a state of lost contact.

The leading representative from the Dark Church who came to meet the delegation was also a Divine Oracle High Priest named Valvala, a woman of about forty years old, dressed in a Black Robe with a preserved elegance and mature charm that was very attractive.

Wayne was somewhat confused and didn’t understand Ivan’s arrangement; in Ivan’s view, he was supposed to be the Dark Goddess’s paramour in the Mortal World.

To arrange for a big sister to give the leader’s lover a ride was clearly seeking trouble!

Full of doubts, Wayne met Valvala, who also carried a belly full of curiosity. Before coming, Ivan had specifically instructed her that Wayne’s identity was extremely special and must be treated with warm hospitality.

Ivan’s expression when giving this instruction was very strange, a mixture of conflict and helplessness, disdain and anger, with a bit of respect and Fear.

Such a complex expression simultaneously present on one face made Valvala inevitably curious to ask who exactly Wayne was for the Pope to treat him with such caution.

She did not receive a satisfactory response.

Ivan suffered inside but dared not speak, even seeing the Holy Maiden’s daughter getting cozy with Wayne, he didn’t dare raise his voice.

He had it tough!

"Mr. Wayne, welcome to your visit. His Holiness the Pope has arranged a banquet at the Dark Church Headquarters, hoping you enjoy your trip."

In the backseat of a high-end black car, Valvala smiled at Wayne, an ordinary face with nothing remarkable, which was contrary to her expectations before she arrived.

Such a common young face showed no sign of anything special.

So, where did Ivan’s fear come from?

"Ms. Valvala, is there something on my face?"

"Sorry, I was impolite, I didn’t expect you to be so handsome."

"..."

Wayne’s face twisted strangely. This awkward dialogue didn’t mean that Valvala could be a professional diplomat, right?

Probably not.

Aside from the fact that the Dark Church was a legitimate Church, aside from their supreme Dark Goddess, both the Pope and the Holy Maiden have very high moral standards. With two examples ahead, those below wouldn’t turn out like the Naturalism Church.

And besides, Valvala was a Legendary Mage, with her status and position clear, it wouldn’t reduce diplomacy to a cultural feature.
