Chapter 170: Chapter 106: Promotion?

Lando Manor, after a family dinner, Hefei brought her student to the study.

She respected Wayne’s attitude and talent, believing that sitting in an office would only waste his time, and since Wayne was not lacking a civil servant’s salary, she simply did not list him in The Church’s records.

But the policy changed recently.

It involved the personnel changes within the Naturalism Church, a redistribution of power while dividing the cake, mainly benefiting Hefei and Flora, their reposition of power came with new checks after the shuffle, not something that could be explained in a few words.

Because of the Dark Knights’ activities, the Naturalism Church’s Windsor District suffered heavy losses, the elites gathered in Lundan were nearly wiped out in one fell swoop. The headquarters ordered Hefei to clean up the aftermath as quickly as possible, not just in Lundan, but to revitalize the whole situation in Windsor.

Within the Life Alliance, the churches of the sun and moon had mediocre development in Lundan. The once glorious Heavenly Father’s Court was cut down to just one Archbishop, and only the Naturalism Church successfully expanded its district, involves extremely complex power entanglements.

The headquarters allowed Hefei to draw personnel from Frank, she must secure the base at all costs, otherwise, what the Naturalism Church loses will be not only elites but also years of investment going to waste.

Keep in mind, the asking price from the Windsor Royal Family was not low back then!

This provided Flora with a great opportunity to rapidly expand her influence; she brought many loyalists, each capable of standing on their own.

Hefei was unable to stop this, she could only arrange for her loyalists to take nominal roles, to occupy the good positions first.

Hefei didn’t have many loyalists, countable on two hands, to say who she trusted the most in Lundan, it could only be Wayne and Veronica.

"Veronica already has arrangements, I will list you in Jianhe County, to take on the role of Pastor. Jianhe County is very close to Lundan, a two-hour drive from home."

Hefei said, "Don’t worry, the daily affairs will be managed by someone else, you’re just in name, equivalent to gold-plating, no need to stay in Jianhe County."

What does this mean, I’m an unemployed vagrant getting promoted without doing anything?

A free salary and the power to control the locals, brilliant!

"Okay, Teacher, whatever you arrange is fine, I have no objections."

Wayne did not refuse, the teacher indeed lacked people, otherwise, she wouldn’t take out her precious pupil.

He curiously asked, "There are Dark Knights in Lundan, what happens if they attack while dispatching so many people out?"

"In the district headquarters, there are me and Priest Flora."

Hefei spoke concisely, ordinary Golden Mages were not qualified to contend with Dark Knights, staying was useless, it was better to energize the other locations, easing the disorder from a lack of leadership.

"Additionally, although you don’t need to stay in Jianhe County, you must visit at least twice a month."

"No problem."

Wayne nodded repeatedly, ready to go. He felt uneasy carrying the Ancient Silver Coin, sensing that the bandit Plank could raid him at any moment.

Perfect for using the excuse of a business trip, to lay low for a few days.

Plus, he knew Jianhe County had a good university life, he heard there were especially many female university students there.

While talking, Hefei informed Wayne about the Civil Service divisions of the Naturalism Church.

From office errands to First Class Deacon, then to Pastor, Priest, High Priest, and the Divine Oracle High Priest who is reassigned back to headquarters, if nothing goes wrong, that’s the complete set of promotion procedures for the administrative department.

The situation at the headquarters has additional complexities, besides the Divine Oracle High Priest, under the Pope, there are positions like the Great Prophet, Holy Maiden/Heir reserved for special individuals.

Wayne listened casually, he had no intention of becoming a civil servant, but he was very keen on his teacher becoming the Pope, always thinking about the pure Holy Maiden.

"Do well, earn more merits, they might be useful in the future." Hefei looked meaningfully at her diligent student.

You wouldn’t think it, but you have the potential to become the Saint Heir.

"Teacher, what’s the use of merits?"

"They can be exchanged for Magic, the higher the position, the more Magic you can learn, and Divine Arts are no exception." Hefei tempted, knowing her student preferred Magic over worldly matters.

Wayne became more interested: "Like what?"

"There are many, for instance, Life Magic!"
