Witch Hunter from Entry to Unemployment

Chapter 28 The Holy See is having a hard time

Kingdom of Stars, City of Stars.

This is the capital of the Kingdom of Stars. Seven hundred years ago, the goddess's messenger came here and joined the war against the Judgment Witch.

After the witch was eliminated, the remaining survivors established a new kingdom of stars here.

And the central area of ​​this city is not the imperial palace, but the headquarters of the Xingyue Holy See.

This is a complex of buildings that is as prosperous as a palace, with nearly tens of thousands of priests living here.

The most eye-catching one is a huge observatory, which is also the tallest building in the city.

In front of the observatory is the Cathedral of the Stars and Moon, which is decorated with piles of gems and colored glazes. It is said that the statues blessed by the goddess are enshrined here, and the goddess can rely on the statues at any time to issue oracles.

At this moment, in the conference room of the front hall of Star and Moon Cathedral, three of the seven archbishops have arrived from all over the kingdom and are gathering here.

The divine selection ceremony is over, and the next step is the blessing ceremony.

A sarcastic look appeared on Folis's face, but before he could speak, a helpless voice sounded.

"Be kind, loving, kind, and kind. Such a noble title, but it has become an excuse for some people to act recklessly."

After hearing the news, the expression on the Pope's face, which was already a bit sad, became even more ugly.

"I can't help it. Who makes it impossible for the other guys to leave? It's just the three of us who have more time to spare."

"Locke and Agatha, and so do you two. Fries is indeed underqualified, but you don't have to act like a senior and keep lecturing him."

The old woman scolded the young man sternly, and the ordinary-looking gentle man also frowned and spoke.

Bishop Locke, who had been silent for a long time, nodded, and then spoke awkwardly.

"Who's preaching? Mr. Pope, you don't know this guy Fries!"

Said soothingly, just like what Flis said, compared with the last time, the four are indeed very good.

"The Archbishop of Eternal Unity suddenly paid a visit for some unknown reason. Naturally, we have to send people to receive him."

At first, no one favored by the gods was born for more than twenty years in a row, which almost made them think that they had been abandoned by the goddess.

"It's obviously you who are blaspheming God, how come I am making irresponsible remarks about God?"

"Actually, four is pretty good. After all, in the last divine selection ceremony, not a single divine favored person was born."

Fries spoke cheerfully, and Agatha on the side glared at her again.

"I lost my temper a little and made you laugh, my Lady Saint."

"Flis, it's not easy for everyone, can't you say a few words?"

The girl next to the Pope spoke softly, and the clear and melodious voice made the old woman calm down.

"My lord the pope, my lord the saint."

"It's just that our goddess is easy to talk to. If it were those guys from the Thunder Empire who dared to act like this, I'm afraid God's Punishment would have chopped them down long ago."

"What the goddess acquiesces to is not blasphemous to God. All of this is just a test from the goddess."

Fliss let out a sneer, still maintaining a carefree look.

"Bishop Agatha, please exercise restraint. You are a little excited."

The old woman glared at the young man, expressing her dissatisfaction. As an old woman, she knew all too well the feeling of not getting an answer to her prayers.

The third person to speak was an old woman with white hair. Listening to her words, the cynical young man couldn't help laughing.

Other people's gods perform miracles every day, but it's better for them here, and they can't even contact them for more than ten years.

"Only four?"

"The final number counted was four in total."

"This year, the three of us will host the ceremony again."

"Senior, don't be so serious. I just feel a little strange. What's the use of Eternal Return to us? If we have a way, we won't be forced to fake. They can't be here to learn from the experience of fake, right?"

"This is not a funny thing."

Helping the Pope to sit down at the head of the table, the girl took a step back and stood there quietly.

"Bishop Agatha's words are serious. You are also doing this for the overall development of the Holy See."

Later, there was indeed a God's Favorite who could easily contact and communicate with the goddess, but how can I put it, the situation still did not improve, and the birth of the God's Favorite was still very random.

"You two... why did you start quarreling as soon as you met?"

"Forris, don't talk about gods carelessly."

The three archbishops stood up together and bowed to the group in front of them, an old man and a young man.

Of course, belief in gods is not all about benefits, but the behavior of their own goddess makes believers like them helpless.

The girl has long, silky golden hair, is petite, and looks young. What is striking is that her face is wrapped with a white cloth strip, covering her eyes.

The two archbishops were silent in unison. What the Thunder Empire believed in was the god of conquest who controlled war, thunder, and the power of destruction. He was also the god who issued the most divine punishments today.

"It's not that I'm not pious enough, the goddess should...should have her own ideas."

"Okay, let's not discuss what just happened. Let's talk about the business, about the God's Favorite. In this time of the God's Selection Ceremony, the number of God's Favorite born in the entire kingdom has been counted, right?"

The old man sighed, not knowing what to say, and the girl supporting him nodded slightly as a tribute to the three archbishops.

The new chosen ones will receive their own glory and status under the witness of the Pope and the Archbishop.

"On the Eternal Unity side, their gods haven't shown miracles for a long time. I heard that the upper echelons of the entire religion are more anxious than us."

Some cynical young man shrugged his shoulders. He wore a robe with golden lines and star patterns on the sleeves, but it still couldn't suppress his somewhat unrefined temperament.

The ordinary-looking middle-aged man looked around and then spoke.

"That's enough, Ferris, we are not here to listen to you scolding us. Everything we have done so far is to better spread and develop the glory of the goddess. We have a clear conscience!"

"Yes, the statistics have been completed."

"Forris, be careful what you say!"

You can't just ask the goddess for a gift, right?

The religious master looked at the girl standing next to him and thought about whether he should let her take the initiative to contact the goddess and complain a little.

Back then, when the witch was wreaking havoc, everyone was still united. Now, hundreds of years have passed, and the witch has disappeared, and everyone is harboring evil intentions.

Although there is peace now, the other righteous religions are ready to move and compete for believers. The borders between the Star Kingdom and the Thunder Empire are constantly in friction, and the major evil cults have frequently reared their heads.

Our Xingyue Holy See is really having a hard time right now.
