This Holy Knight is So Despicable!
Chapter 643 561: The Church Court's Concession
The Holy Mountain completely eradicated the Dark Corrosion Beast Tide, an event that shook the entire world.
Although most commoners know very little about the Beast Tide, as they are expendable, few can survive through several Beast Tides.
Therefore, the information that can be passed down is limited.
But those nobles, the Imperial Family, and the upper echelons of the Church, are all safely tucked behind high walls and fortified cities.
Regarding the Beast Tide, they not only have complete records but are also observers.
The Beast Tide is both a harvest of ordinary commoners and a warning to the privileged ruling class.
It makes these vested interests understand that their status, their right to live and propagate, their wealth and glory, are all divine gifts.
Without God's protection, they would live like those pitiable souls outside the city walls, living one day at a time.
And not only themselves, but their descendants would also suffer the same fate.
Therefore, even though the gods of this world rarely show miracles, unlike the Holy Light Goddess Afra, who comes with a Holy Presence from time to time to solidify her foundation of faith.
The power hierarchy of this world still maintains an unimaginably loyal faith.
But now, with the Beast Tide eradicated by the Holy Mountain, everything is starting to change.
What this phenomenon signifies almost becomes something that every privileged class in this world must figure out.
Does this event mean that the world's order has quietly changed, or has God grown weary of the previous model and is preparing to start a new chapter?
The possibilities are too many and too complex, but at least two things cannot be ignored by everyone.
First, the old order is about to be rewritten.
Second, as God's scribe, the Divine Envoy from the Holy Mountain has already become influential.
He has completely transformed his rank and, by eradicating the Beast Tide, has become the new representative of Light on earth.
The extent of people's admiration for him has reached a level comparable to God.
At this time, the Church Court and the nobles finally realized a long-overlooked issue.
The so-called right to speak is naturally held by these power hierarchies.
But the right to acknowledge still lies in the hands of the hardworking masses.
The current situation is very typical; perhaps some of the discourse power is still in the hands of these people.
But no matter what they say, if people don't buy it, it's like farting.
Even if the Divine Envoy of the Holy Mountain hasn't completely grasped the right to speak, as long as the public buys it, he hardly needs any right to speak.
His words are truth. If he says it, people are willing to believe it.
This is not the seizure of power but the coverage of higher power over lower power.
This is the power they personally handed over or, more accurately, what they didn't care about in the first place.
In this regard, the Church Cour understands very well.
Upon receiving the news, they used the Communication Magic Device of Holy Daughter Aloe to invite Lette immediately.
They hoped that the great Divine Envoy could visit his Divine City.
Holy Daughter Aloe, as a witness to this matter, felt waves of disgust towards the Church's sycophantic behavior, unable to accept it physically.
Having grown up in the Holy City of the Church, she was most familiar with their faces.
Despite the discomfort, she still chose to convey the Church's attitude to the Divine Envoy.
After drinking two cups of warm water to suppress her stomach discomfort, Aloe let out a breath.
"The Divine Envoy is truly wise; indeed, drinking more hot water is good for the body.
Why didn't everyone realize such a simple thing before?
I really hope this habit can spread across the Holy Mountain under the Divine Envoy's call.
At that time, the people of the entire Continent will probably rush to emulate it."
Placing the empty cup on the table, Aloe got up and walked towards the village halfway up the mountain.
When she arrived at Lette's residence, she found Lette standing at the courtyard gate, seemingly waiting for her arrival.
"Divine Envoy."
"Aloe, you are here."
"Divine Envoy, did you know I was coming?"
"I, predicted it."
Lette reached out and pushed open the wooden gate of the courtyard, leading Aloe into the garden.
"You see, the vegetables I planted have sprouted. I believe it won't be long before they grow green."
"Why does Divine Envoy personally plant these things? If you want, I..."
Aloe awkwardly stopped after saying a few words: "Sorry, my old habits kicked in."
"It's okay, changing people's habits is not easy.
It's like a stone rolling down from a high mountain; stopping it is not an easy task.
Don't be discouraged; at least you have realized your problem.
This is the beginning of change.
Some people may never realize their mistakes in their lifetime. Only when their life is about to end do they wake up.
But by that time, it's too late to say anything.
They have neither the time nor the ability to change.
They can only embrace regret and walk towards their end.
This is the greatest sorrow.
Compared to them, you are so fortunate."
After listening, Aloe felt deeply moved, as if she had gained some new insight.
She was very happy; even though she had been with the Divine Envoy for less than a month, she had learned more and more profoundly than in the first half of her life.
"Oh right, what did you come to find me for?"
"Ah! Divine Envoy, there's news from the Holy City."
Aloe hurriedly reported the Light God Sect's invitation to Lette truthfully, along with her conjectures.
"Divine Envoy, I think we shouldn't go this time.
I always feel that those people harbor malicious intent.
Maybe they've set a trap in the Holy City, just waiting for you to fall in."
Lette laughed heartily after hearing this: "Your thoughts are very constructive, but this time, I must go.
A Light God Sect with two powers, is this not a betrayal of the Light?
To spread the Light Path throughout the world, I must personally resolve this issue!"
At this moment, Aloe was immensely moved, looking at Lette as if seeing the Light itself.
This spirit of sacrifice for believers and faith is the Defender spirit that hasn't appeared in the Church for many years!
Those things that existed only in legends and embellished storybooks, those spirit totems created to earn the tears and taxes of the common people, today stand so genuinely before her, how fortunate is this?
"Divine Envoy, if you must go, please take me with you!"
Aloe volunteered: "I was born in the Holy City and know everything about it. Please let me be your guide and contribute to your glorious cause!"
Lette nodded with satisfaction and agreed with a smile: "Good!"
