Farming in the Magical World

The term "Chosen Ones" refers to a project called the "Chosen Ones Project."

This is a secret project that the Holy Church has been carrying out for many years, aiming to develop unique Holy Church secret methods by utilizing the characteristics of the Holy Church's faith power!

The Holy Church's strength has always been achieved by converting the power of faith into magic, but as the Holy Church has developed, the drawbacks of this method have become apparent!

In the early days of the Holy Church, although converting the power of faith into magic was somewhat wasteful, the Pope had no choice but to accept it in order to develop the Holy Church quickly!

But now, as the Holy Church grows larger, this waste seems extremely regrettable.

And that's not all!

In recent years, the magical world has been developing at an increasingly rapid pace, and relying solely on this method of simulating magic power, the Holy Church is finding it increasingly difficult to keep up with the development of the magical world.

This caused the Pope great concern!

Ordinary people may have limited vision and not be able to keenly notice this, but the Holy Church, which is distributed almost throughout the entire continent, knows this very well!

If the Holy Church does not respond to this, they will eventually be eliminated by the entire magical world and reduced to a bunch of charlatans who only know how to hold mass and chant prayers!

When the Pope first raised this idea at a high-level meeting, everyone was stunned and expressed their disbelief!

That's utterly absurd. The Holy Church has been developing for over a thousand years, how can it just disappear like that?

Faced with the statistical charts, investigation summaries, and real cases laid out by His Holiness the Pope, everyone fell silent, their faces ashen, and they slumped back down!

Even now, Florian still remembers how his archbishop colleagues looked dejected and anxious in the magnificent St. Elijah Cathedral!

And I am no exception!

To solve this problem, His Holiness the Pope proposed the Chosen Ones program!

The plan involves a large-scale nationwide search for children with the ability to see through things. Once these children are sent to the Holy City, they will be given concentrated instruction and guidance. The plan is to utilize the characteristics of the ability to see through things to develop a unique power system for the Holy Church!

These children who eventually complete and master the new power will have a special title: Angel, meaning the lucky ones chosen by God, the new generation spreading the gospel of the Holy Church, and messengers bringing hope to the Holy Church!

However, even among the chosen ones, fewer than ten have been found so far, not to mention the angels who will eventually master the new power. They are extremely rare!

Even so, these fewer than ten children have already achieved initial results with the help of the Eye of Insight. The mithril swords and mithril shields that the Holy Knights are now equipped with are among the results of those angels!

Now that a new chosen one has been discovered, how could he not take him seriously?

Seeing that Florian took it seriously as expected, Philip quickly added, "They say it's in Andrew's north, in a territory called Dracula, and the boy's name is Lucifer Dracula, the grandson of the local baron!"

"However... he also reported that this baron is suspected to be a vampire!"

Florian narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Really a vampire?"

Sometimes, to make it easier to bring back the Chosen Ones, these Holy Protectors under their command would deliberately claim that the other party was a vampire. This method was convenient, quick, and had few repercussions, so it was not uncommon.

It's quite rare for someone to proactively report being a vampire on their very first visit, which puzzled him!

"This... I'm not entirely sure, the message only came recently!"

"Should we wait for further news from him?"

He paused, then gritted his teeth and said, "Logically, Garrett's second message should have arrived long ago, but it hasn't..."

He originally did not intend to report this matter to Florian before confirming accurate information about Garrett, knowing that the other party cared a lot about those Chosen Ones, and it would not be appropriate to report it before accurate information was available.

But when he actually faced Florian, his superior, he found that he still found it difficult to keep secrets, just like before!

Since I've already said it, I can only mention that I didn't receive the second report as planned.

To his surprise, Florian didn't seem to care whether the information was accurate or whether Garrett had any problems; instead, he seemed to value this chosen one more.

The other person stood up, paced around the room, and began to think with a furrowed brow.

After a long silence, Florian finally stopped and made a decisive decision: "I can't wait any longer. Immediately send Luke to the North. He must bring Lucifer back to the Holy City safely..."

He didn't even bother waiting for a report and directly dispatched his strongest Holy Protector, which shows how much he valued this matter!

"..."

Philip opened his mouth, wanting to ask something, but looking at the serious Florian, he swallowed the words he was about to say and simply nodded, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away!"

Watching Philip's departing figure, the page who had remained silent suddenly spoke up, "Sir, if the other party really is a vampire, should we still make him the Chosen One?"

Florian glanced at the other person and finally smiled slightly. "Of course, is there a problem?"

"Aren't vampires evil, hopelessly fallen beings?"

Seeing that Florian was not angry, the page mustered his courage and asked again.

This time, however, Florian did not answer; he simply shook his head dismissively.

Apart from the higher-ups, the rest of the Holy Church were unaware that it was more appropriate, or rather more reasonable, to send a vampire as the Chosen One. Otherwise, they wouldn't have attached such importance to it and directly dispatched their strongest Holy Protector!

evil?

Pshaw, whether it's evil or not is none of the Holy Church's business. As long as this chosen one really becomes an angel, they can just give him the title of a fallen angel!

Well, wouldn't the angels who are transformed from the fallen make the Lord seem even greater?

But these things... there's no need to tell the people below.

Standing up, Florian loosened his arms and unfastened his cardinal's robe. "I need to rest. If anyone else comes, tell them to wait!"

Even though he possessed peak high-level strength, he was still exhausted from sitting in that cramped carriage all the way here.

Unlike him, who was sound asleep, Griffin was pacing back and forth in the Lord's Castle in Greenfield Town like a cat on a hot tin roof, anxiously awaiting the Archbishop's summons!

He had put in many years of effort to get to this point, whether it was hiding his identity or honing his swordsmanship. As long as he could get Archbishop Florian to agree to his plan today, it would all be worth it!
