PFC Chapter 382 Reunion With Little Saintess!
Chapter 382 Reunion With Little Saintess!
Sophia, as the queen of a small world, often maintains contact with the Lightwing Empire.
After revealing her identity and presenting her token at the city gate, she received a warm reception.
Not long after, a team of high-level holy priests came and led Sophia and Chen Yu into the city.
Within the holy city, the sacred aura became even stronger.
Every street was lined with exquisite and majestic churches.
Melodious hymns echoed in the sky, and devout prayers could be heard from time to time.
Beneath the giant angel sculpture in the city center was the central temple of the Lightwing Church.
This is the center of the Lightwing Empire and the highest power center of the entire world's holy forces.
In a reception room in the central temple, a cardinal archbishop hurriedly arrived and slightly bowed to Sophia.
"Your Majesty Felicia, on behalf of the church, I express our sincere welcome and gratitude for your visit."
"Cardinal Randall, your demeanor is even more elegant than thirty years ago, and your faith is stronger than ever. May the gods be with you." Sophia smiled and returned the gesture.
After exchanging pleasantries, Cardinal Randall asked, "Your Majesty Felicia, did you come from the Transmigrate Abyss erosion zone due to the route passage between the Salontan Empire and the Lightwing Empire being compromised?"
"That's right." Sophia nodded.
"Thank you for remembering the friendship between the Salontan Empire and the Lightwing Empire." Cardinal Randall's face showed a touch of emotion.
Now, the Lightwing Empire only has one remaining unoccupied world passage, and it is right here in the holy city.
Sophia came from outside the city, so she must have transmigrated through the treacherous Transmigrate Abyss erosion zone.
"The situation in the Lightwing Empire is not optimistic." Sophia sighed, "How much is left outside the seven fortresses?"
"To be honest, they have all fallen." Cardinal Randall smiled bitterly.
"Now, the church can only rely on the seven fortresses to hold on."
"Last month, we sent envoys out of the world passage in the holy city, trying to contact the branches of the church in other empires."
"However, the other side of the world passage in the holy city has become an eroded area."
"You are the only foreign guest to visit the Lightwing Empire in these months."
"Your Majesty Felicia, forgive my impudence, but how is the situation in the Salontan Empire now?" Cardinal Randall asked with a hint of hope.
"More than half of it has fallen." Sophia sighed, "The people have suffered heavy casualties, and the strong have fallen like meteors."
"But fortunately, the worst is over, and the country is now cleaning up the aftermath."
"I came here this time to meet with the Pope and discuss how to support the Lightwing Empire."
"Thank you very much!" Cardinal Randall exclaimed excitedly, "Great Emperor Salontan, your generosity is as vast as the sky."
"Thank you for your praise, Cardinal. May I ask when we can see the Pope?" Sophia asked with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Cardinal Randall's face immediately showed a bitter expression. After hesitating for a moment, he reluctantly said:
"Your Excellency, the Pope may be inconvenient during this period of time. You can discuss related matters with Cardinal Hegelthagus of our church."
"Inconvenient to meet people? What does that mean?" Sophia frowned, "Is she injured?"
"No, it's not like that." Cardinal Randall quickly said, "It's just some personal reasons..."
"Speak up, there's no need to hide anything." Sophia smiled, "I have a good personal relationship with the Pope."
"You should know that when I restored my country, it was through the Pope's relationship and the power of the Lightwing Empire."
"So, if possible, please take me to meet the Pope."
"Well..." Cardinal Randall looked troubled, "It's not that I deliberately concealed it, but the Pope... has undergone some significant changes."
"About five years ago, she stopped managing the church and handed all official matters to Cardinal Hegelthagus."
"Even we cardinal archbishops find it difficult to see her."
"And even if we do meet, we will be quickly driven away..."
"Visiting foreign envoys never get to see her."
"Is that so?" Sophia furrowed her brows and pondered for a moment.
Afterwards, she took off the pendant hanging around her neck.
Embedded on the pendant were the unknown plant seeds that Chen Yu had given her.
"Your Excellency, please deliver this to the Pope and tell her that its owner has arrived."
"Well, I'll give it a try..."
Bishop Randall took the seeds and left.
"Your relationship with the Empress of the Radiant Wing Empire seems quite good," Chen Yu asked strangely.
It was normal for Sophia to have a connection with the little Saintess, as he served as a link between them.
But to say that their relationship was good was not necessarily true.
During the last trial mission, the little Saintess never showed Sophia a good face.
When she was with Chen Yu, she wanted nothing more than to kick her away.
Did their relationship suddenly improve after he left?
"Well, cough, you could say that, in any case, it's not bad," Sophia forced a smile.
Of course, she couldn't tell Chen Yu how the little Saintess treated her in private after he left.
If she wanted to complain, she had to find the right place.
Chen Yu clearly liked the little Saintess.
However, it was true that the little Saintess had given her decisive help when she was restoring her country.
Under the guidance of the little Saintess, she had come to know many high-ranking members of the Holy See and had repeatedly relied on the power of the Holy See.
From Bishop Randall's attitude, one could see how good her relationship was with the high-ranking members of the Holy See.
While Chen Yu was chatting with Sophia,
The door of the reception room suddenly burst open with a loud bang.
Then, a petite figure threw herself into his arms, tightly embracing his waist and greedily breathing in his scent.
She still had a veil covering her eyes, and her once loose white robe had turned into exquisite attire.
Her temperament was even more calm and dignified than before.
Chen Yu smiled slightly and reached out to embrace her, gently stroking her soft black hair.
At least in his eyes, the little Saintess hadn't changed.
The merciless passage of time had not left a trace on her beautiful face, nor had it caused any cracks in their relationship.
"Your Holiness, Pope!"
Outside the door, an urgent voice sounded.
Then, Bishop Randall also rushed in.
Seeing the scene before him, he was instantly dumbfounded.
"Your Holiness, um..."
After the shock, Bishop Randall fell into deep thought.
Although this Pope had become somewhat absurd after ascending the throne, she had never shown any special interest in a man.
Privately, there were people who presented various styles of beautiful men, and some were even directly killed by the angry Pope.
Many people in the Holy See even thought that the Pope was not interested in men.
"Who is this person exactly?" Bishop Randall looked at Chen Yu.
At first, he thought Chen Yu was just Sophia's attendant and didn't pay much attention.
"There were rumors from the Templar Knights in the past, but they were banned by the Knight Commander. I used to think it was just a false rumor, but now it seems..."
"Do you have any other business?"
The little Saintess, leaning in Chen Yu's arms, turned her head and her cold gaze pierced through the white veil, like a sharp arrow.
The aura she unintentionally revealed made people shudder.
