Chapter 75 Choice
After saying that, he turned and left in a very formal manner.

They had no concern whatsoever about whether Naims would catch up.

If it weren't for the fact that the world was in the wrong era, Nemus would have even thought the other party was a robot.

Seeing that no one else came to pick him up, Nems had no choice but to follow.

Ordinary people have no way to meet this commander.

The power of the Church is basically in the hands of two people—the archbishop and the grandmaster.

Among clergy, pastors wield significantly more power in the middle ranks.

When a paladin reaches the Ironborn, although they will be granted honor, their title will not change much. At most, they will become a great knight, which is not much different from a paladin.

When a priest arrives in the Ironborn, he will be called a bishop.

Bishops, on the other hand, have begun to be involved in many power-related matters within the church.

However, once they reach the Gold rank, the Paladin's status will surpass that of many others.

Although the archbishop handles most of the daily chores, the military power is mostly in the hands of the grandmaster.

"The reason lies in power!" Nemus knew the key to it.

Paladins of the Iron race are not intelligent and are inferior to priests of the same class in terms of intelligence.

However, once a Paladin reaches the Gold level, their immediate combat power will be significantly higher.

Furthermore, at this time, the paladin could also command the church's highest regular combat force.

Their sensory abilities are also comparable to those of priests of the same rank.

The most important point is that priests who reach this level, while equally powerful, will be brought down by that power.

While priests of the Golden Seed will experience a certain degree of physical elevation, it is their souls that are most significantly enhanced.

At such times, the bodies of golden-type priests will experience various problems due to the pressure on their souls.

Take the old pastor, for example. Although he was only of the Iron race, his body had also shown signs of photochemical reaction and decay.

The 'side effects' of golden-type priests are even greater; they cannot use their power for extended periods, otherwise physical collapse is a common occurrence.

In terms of combat effectiveness and endurance, the archbishop often serves only as a mascot.

This is why, although the archbishop still wields considerable power, the responsibility for governing the church falls to the grandmaster.

In other words, the meticulous person in front of you, who is reviewing documents, is the most powerful individual on the back of the Azure Whale.

“Nell.” Killieman closed the file and set it aside, then looked at Nems with a serious expression.

His eyes seemed to possess a certain light, capable of seeing through a person's physical condition.

"Grand Commander!" Nemus bowed, his hands folded in front of his chest.

“Very good. As things stand, you have no problems. On the contrary, you have made a significant contribution.” Guilliman nodded, then pulled out a document and placed it in front of Nems.

"Open it and take a look; this is your transfer order."

Naims took the document and opened it, then saw that there were three branches regarding his own transfer order.

"First, stay in Qiquan City and become a member of the patrol team." Azure Whale City originally had only three Holy Knight Orders, but now it has become five.

One such task force is the patrol team, whose members are required to continuously patrol every corner of the city to crack down on various illegal and irregular activities, with a focus on cults, demon worshippers, and illegal witch experiments.

This was the fiercest 'front line' at this time. Nemus knew that the movement of personnel within this knightly order was very high, and almost every month paladins would die or be wounded due to the intense fighting.

"Secondly, he will be transferred to Baiwei Town. Currently, the town church in Baiwei Town is lacking a Grand Knight." This is similar to the situation with the garrisoned paladin in Beiyu Village.

However, since Baiwei Town is a town, it will no longer be guarded by a priest and a paladin, but by a priestly order and several paladin squads.

This is essentially an overseas assignment. Of course, a key point to note is that most of the Dartmanley family members have also moved to Tailtail Town.

“Third, join the Tribunal.” Upon seeing this third option, Nems was taken aback, then realized that this was an olive branch offered by Gotthard.

The Tribunal, depending on the size of its staff, primarily functions to examine clergy within the church.

During this period, this was the department that Naims saw and interacted with the most.

"Three places have submitted relevant applications to me."

"So I'd like to hear the person involved's opinion."

Naims actually had a general idea of ​​which group of people were behind each of the three options.

The first option should come from the enclosure faction led by Guilliman.

However, this was not Guilliman's intention, but rather the intention of the local nobles who were united around him.

These nobles themselves also had various bloodline issues, and often absorbed outstanding talents through methods such as sons-in-law, adopted sons, and retainers, using the other party's bloodline to optimize and activate their own bloodline.

If Nemus chooses this option, he will likely encounter many battles within the first two or three months.

However, as long as Nemus performs adequately in battle, a romantic encounter will immediately occur.

Once the relationship is established, Naims can be transferred out of the patrol team after three months without leaving the city, and then enter security departments such as the city guard or training team.

As for why the third option was immediately identified as coming from Gotthard, it was because before that, the Tribunal was practically empty. It was regarded as the liaison between the church headquarters and various branches, as well as the internal censorship department, and had been under control and suppression.

Gotthard's arrival in Azure Whale City most likely means he entered the Tribunal.

Choosing this option would likely plunge me into the most intense church struggles.

The two factions are locked in a fierce battle, with Nems as the center of their conflict.

The second option was for the Dartmenley family to exert their influence, which was also a result of compromise.

Although Dartmanley was forced to move away from the center of power, he still had some remaining connections, so applying for a transfer order for Nemes at this necessary moment wouldn't be a problem.

Furthermore, the struggle between the enclosure faction and the peace faction did not want to escalate into a zero-sum game, with a full-blown war erupting over Nemes.

That's why the option of transferring out came about.

"I choose the second option." After thinking for a moment, Nems didn't hide anything and chose the second option openly.

He enjoys challenges, but he doesn't want to be cannon fodder.

While it's true that one should be adept at navigating social situations, one still needs to consider their own capabilities.

He could briefly exchange two blows with a Golden Seed, but that was all.

There's no need to get involved in church factional struggles so quickly, at least not to be on the front lines, or even become the center of a struggle.

In this situation, the second option, while requiring dealing with the Dartmenley family, is just right for Nemes.
