Chapter 1340: Chapter 972, Leader of The Holy Court_2

After two rings, the other side answered.

The screen was shrouded in darkness, a faint outline of a crimson wooden coffin could be seen, along with Lilith’s side profile.

"Sleeping so early?" Wu Heng smiled.

With a ’click’, the lampshade lifted, and the Illuminating Stone cast a gentle glow.

Lilith sat elegantly at an antique desk, dressed in a dark red gown, her slender fingers interlaced, "Not sleeping!"

Wu Heng asked, "Has the Association’s support arrived?"

"They arrived yesterday, Bruno is leading them." Lilith replied in a flat tone.

"Xiao Xiao talks about you every day." Wu Heng asked, "When will you come back?"

Lilith gave him an annoyed look, "Using the child as an excuse, nothing’s happening over here, so I’ll stay there for a few days."

"Then do hurry." Wu Heng said.

"Got it~!" Lilith responded softly, then shifted the topic to The Holy Court, "The new Pope has assumed office."

Wu Heng raised an eyebrow, "Can anyone from The Holy Court become Pope?"

"Probably hero-level too."

Wu Heng was even more puzzled, "Wasn’t it said that The Holy Court only had two heroes? Now there’s a fourth appearing?"

Lilith was silent for a moment, then continued, "I discussed this with ’Claudio,’ he looked into earlier records of the Elf Race, which included a mention that might relate to The Holy Court’s system."

"What records?" Wu Heng pressed.

His curiosity about The Holy Court was aroused as well.

More and more heroes emerging isn’t quite like normal profession advancement.

Lilith tapped her fingers lightly on the table, recounting what she knew, "The Elf Race’s historical records, The Holy Court has a Supreme Leader and Four Holy Seats, the Supreme Leader is the divine, and the Four Holy Seats represent four different functional heroes of The Holy Court."

"The first is the Pope, who manages the internal affairs of The Holy Court, presides over ceremonies. The second is the Radiant Divine Envoy, responsible for purification and judgment, then there’s the Watchman Divine Envoy and Defender Divine Envoy, representing spiritual insight and Sect Guardian expansion respectively."

Wu Heng said, "So essentially, The Holy Court continues with its Four Holy Seats tradition, just under a different name."

"That’s just a conjecture." Lilith sighed softly, then added, "Claudio also mentioned the Leader, according to him, when the Four Holy Seats are unable to handle the dangers, the Leader might directly intervene."

When the possibility of the ’Leader’ intervening was mentioned, both sides of the video fell into silence.

The Leader is merely a metaphor, to avoid directly saying the divine.

But it still refers to The Holy Court’s divine.

Lilith added another note, "In the thousand-odd years, you’re the first to force The Holy Court into such humiliation."

Wu Heng said, "Well... if the Leader can act freely, the Association wouldn’t be able to suppress The Holy Court."

"No one can say for sure about this matter, and it’s recorded extremely secretly, during that period, The Holy Court held the supreme position." Lilith leaned forward, saying, "It’s better to be cautious. If you’re not confident, it’s best to reconcile through the Association as much as possible."

"I will, is there any other information?" Wu Heng continued to ask.

The close relationship between him and Lilith led to various information being revealed to him.

In the past, he always needed to exchange something to inquire about anything.

"Nothing else, I’ll notify you when there’s news." Lilith paused, then said, "If they’re unwilling to give a mobile phone to headquarters, you can leave a radio to the back, to avoid difficulties in passing messages."

This time, Wu Heng did not refuse.

"Okay, when you arrive, I’ll arrange a radio for headquarters." Wu Heng said with a smile.

"You talk as if I’m a hostage."

Afterward, they exchanged whispers for some time.

As dusk approached, they hung up the call and rested separately.

...

After washing up.

Wu Heng returned to his room.

Lying on the bed, he began to ponder the information Lilith provided.

The Leader and Four Holy Seats.

According to Lilith, The Holy Court has consistently maintained the configuration of four heroes.

Just previously, they were called Radiant Divine Envoy, or some other Divine Envoy, and now called the Leader!

Including the Religious Leader whose physical body was destroyed by him, he has killed three, leaving the last one, who succeeded as the Pope this time.

If now, he launches a missile at the Holy Hall, then approaches at the fastest speed, it shouldn’t be too difficult to kill the new Pope.

But now, the threat is the ’Leader’ Lilith mentioned, The Holy Court’s divine.

"When the Four Holy Seats are unable to solve the danger, the Leader will directly intervene." Wu Heng repeated Lilith’s words.

Killing three doesn’t count as a difficult, unmanageable situation?

Or like playing a game, after defeating four pre-battle foes, the BOSS finally appears.

Maybe, the opponent is already focusing on him, only the divine acts differently.

"No, that’s not right!" Wu Heng reorganized his thoughts, "First, it’s certain that the divine, no matter how strong, can’t directly kill people, otherwise the Association couldn’t suppress The Holy Court, likely using other means against him."

Just unclear what means.

"It seems, I still need to accelerate the speed of faith collection." Wu Heng turned and sat up, opened faith and had a look.

[Faith: 372/50000.]

The quantity of faith increased by over a hundred, the effect of the smart speaker is quite significant.

Next step, he needs to expedite the establishment of a Church, and then use the speaker to gather more faith.

Regarding Wood Elves and Lundham City, he needs to personally visit there in the coming days.

Rapidly gather faith.

Unsure yet what will change when faith reaches a value, but according to the characteristics of the panel, it must be stronger than a hero.

And able to resist greater threats.
