The Church could be considered a potential ally of the Emerald Council in terms of its attitude towards cultists. However, the Church's headquarters was far away in the East, making communication difficult. As one of the seven major powers in Viszea, White Harbor's power was quite limited.
If White Harbor can develop with the help of Alice's power, even the closed-minded descendants of the elves will have to re-evaluate their diplomatic attitude towards the church.
However, compared to the Green Council diplomacy, Janetia was more worried about her daughter's emotional problems when she thought that the future saint would be Roy's maid.
The border of the Winter Empire.
The border nobles and the church defenders who came to support the [Desperate Line] unknowingly became one with each other.
The border nobles had not forgotten the golden-haired girl who bravely fought alongside their lord. Nor had the church overlooked the border nobles' contributions in defending the line and repelling the undead.
Now that Alice has become a candidate for saint, the friendship between the two has been strengthened.
While he was happy, Earl Xiong also felt a sense of emotion.
Roy’s emotional problems were complicated enough before, but I didn’t expect that even the maid around him had such great abilities.
You say he is unlucky, but which girl around him is not stunningly beautiful?
He is so lucky, but the girls around him are really hard to deal with!
All I can say is, I hope he's okay.
In the magical kingdom, discussions about the candidates for the Saint have long been rampant.
"See? See? The talents of our Western Continent are no worse than those of your Eastern Continent!"
"Even if you don't join the church, we still have plenty of Holy Light Transcendents!"
"Isn't it said that the East Continent has been blessed by the Goddess? How come they can't even produce a miracle?!"
The international students from the East Continent were all furious, their faces red and they were furious.
"That, that's just her good luck. She was lucky enough to receive the goddess's favor. Why are you so arrogant?! Even if she becomes a candidate, she won't win in the end! And wait until the Saint Preliminary Selection, then you will have the chance to witness the miracle!"
The confrontation between students from the East and West continents within the academy is a microcosm of the overall situation in the East and West continents.
After all, if the little maid who changed her career halfway really became a saint, not to mention replacing the East Continent as the orthodox church, it would also greatly shake the ruling position of the East Continent Church.
Chapter 35: Damage to Reputation
It can be imagined that the East Continent will never be happy to see the candidate from the West Continent win the position of Saint. Next, joining forces to deal with Alice will become the consensus of several Saint candidates from the East Continent.
However, [Sage] Booker did not think too much about it.
He casually put Theresa's reply letter aside, sipped his hot tea, and had no intention of writing a reply.
"Booker, I repeat, I'm not interested in a chess game with no chance of winning. It's simply impossible for a Saint Light Transcendent with a lowly bloodline to defeat a Saint candidate who has been nurtured since childhood in the Eastern Continent!"
Ordinary Holy Light Beyonders really have little chance of winning.
But that girl, no matter how you look at her, she's extraordinary, right?
In all the Saint Trials of the past, the church branches in the Western Continent had been excluded, and were powerless due to the lack of strong competitors.
But this time, the extraordinary beings gifted with holy light were the candidates for the trial, the Holy Sister herself was the recommender behind the scenes, and Roy Ironblad, the false blood of this generation, was personally assisting...
Booker unconsciously curled up the corners of his mouth, and a long-lost sharpness flashed in his eyes.
Even if facing the church of the East Continent, this lineup may not be without the ability to compete!
Three days later.
Roy and Alice received a grand reception from the church's top leaders and were welcomed into the White Harbor Church.
Unlike the auditions, this time, there was no need to queue in a long line that seemed to have no end. Instead, the nuns respectfully led the candidates into the church to meet the senior management headed by [Saint Sister] Theresa.
Including Theresa, all the church leaders had no interest in the Saint Trial.
It's not because they are tanking, it's because they are really bad.
Although White Harbor is the largest stronghold of the Church in the Western Continent, it has a long history, many believers, and is ruled by a hero who saves the world. It is also known as the "Promised Land of the Goddess in the West" and the "Starting Point of the Road to Salvation."
But compared with the master in the East Continent, it is still far behind.
The Eastern Continent has established three major dioceses, as well as the Holy City of Luxerio. Each diocese is presided over by an archbishop, enjoying access to countless extraordinary resources. The Holy City is personally presided over by the Pope, who commands countless clergy and possesses a complete system for cultivating Holy Light extraordinary beings.
Although White Harbor has the reputation of being the fourth largest diocese in the church, it is just a nice-sounding name. Not to mention compared with the Holy City, the extraordinary resources of any diocese can beat White Harbor.
The number of new extraordinary people in the East Continent every year is enough to rival that of the West Continent. The number of mid-level people in this session alone is close to double digits.
And White Harbor hasn't had a Holy Light Transcendent above Sequence 7 for ten years.
The amount of extraordinary resources determines the upper limit of extraordinary people. To put it bluntly, the Western Continent is equivalent to being exiled by the entire church.
We haven't seen any talents for n years, and we are unable to cultivate talents.
The priests stationed in White Harbor were either semi-retired old men or were driven here because they said something wrong and offended someone.
It was in this situation that they welcomed an angel.
Alice, who had grown to Sequence 7 on her own and had a guaranteed gold-level bloodline, was undoubtedly a gift from the Goddess in the eyes of the church's top leaders!
"Miss Alice, please take a seat!"
"White Harbor will be your home from now on!"
"Don't treat us as outsiders!"
No high-ranking church official would be prejudiced against Alice because of her identity as a maid. A bunch of old guys wanted to treat her like a princess.
Seeing the distinguished old pastor personally bending over to pour tea for her, the professional maid who was used to serving others felt very uncomfortable and uncomfortably uncomfortable.
This tea art is terrible.
Roy, who also received courtesy from the church thanks to the little maid, felt a little uncomfortable.
In the original story, the maid's holy light manifestation wasn't quite so exaggerated. There was considerable disagreement within White Harbor over whether she could be elected as a Saint, leading to a host of plot twists.
Now, the little maid was too fierce, and she shocked everyone in White Harbor to the point that there was no longer any opposition, and the broken plot was skipped directly.
According to the original plot, that young master Rafa had committed several acts of seeking death, but two days ago he came to the door in tears to apologize and confessed all the things he did when he was a child bullying small animals.
Judging from the looks of it, I'm afraid he won't have any more roles to play.
It would be a good thing to save some trouble and get straight to the point.
However, these are all honors for Alice.
The old priest with a kind face and graying temples, who had just personally handled the knife and fork for the master and servant, said, "Miss Alice, first of all, I want to congratulate you on successfully passing the audition and being selected as a candidate for the Saint. You are now qualified to compete with other chosen ones for the Saint position."
"I believe that Miss Alice's bloodline will not lose to any candidate from the East Continent."
On the other side, a stern nun in black robes spoke up, bringing down the mood: "However, victory in the Saint Trial isn't solely based on bloodline."
"The candidates' strength, wisdom, character, and even luck and connections will be tested."
"We're not questioning Miss Alice, but this year's trial requires teams of two." The black-clad nun turned her gaze towards Roy, her eyes filled with scrutiny. "I'm afraid Mr. Roy may not be qualified to serve as a Saint's Guard."
In the original work, this plot was about Alice being questioned by the church, but Charlotte and others rushed in to strongly support the little maid, leaving the church speechless.
Now that's great, how come I'm the one being questioned?
Roy was a bit amused and said, "So, you all think I'm unfit to be Alice's Saint Guard?"
"Mr. Roy, no offense intended. A Sequence 6 of Iron Blood is not weak, but he is not irreplaceable. Moreover, the image of a Saint's guard will affect the reputation of the Saint candidate and yourself..." The black-robed nun said this, and hesitated for a moment.
Roy's achievements are not small and his reputation is well-known.
However, his scandals are not bad at all.
He is a traitor to Her Royal Highness the Princess, a heart-stealing thief of elf descent, a lecher who has his hands full with the Student Council President, and he is even so audacious as to attack the daughter of the Duke of the Empire and the Dean of Studies of the academy. He almost has the word "lsp" written on his face!
Rumor has it that this man indulged himself in revelry with beautiful girls day and night! Before coming to the magic academy, he even harassed the daughters of wealthy families and was extremely dissolute!
After pondering for a long time, the black-clad nun finally gave a highly emotionally intelligent explanation: "Well, it's quite subtle."
Roy was so upset, but he couldn't refute it.
Is this the reason for all this fuss?!
Roy is still a bit savvy when it comes to having multiple relationships.
The saint's guards wanted to be holy, but their own image seemed to have nothing to do with holiness!
Even if we put aside the ancient news about 'Bad Young Roy', his current reputation is indeed very delicate.
But Roy was still hesitant to leave the little maid to someone else, so he had to smile cheekily and said, "There are always exceptions. Can you make some concessions?"
Several church leaders looked at each other in surprise.
Becoming a Saint's guard and participating in the trial is an honor that can consolidate power for any noble. This guy really doesn't intend to let it go easily.
Just as the black-robed nun was about to say something harsh with a stern face, Alice, who had been silent all this time, spoke first and said coldly: "Alice's guard can only be the master."
Chapter 36 No Skills, Only Feelings
"Ms. Alice, the Saint Guard concerns your reputation..."
"Only the master."
"Are you sure you don't want to think about it again..."
"Only the master!"
"Um, you really..."
“Only the master!!!”
At the end of her speech, Alice glared at him fiercely with a cold face, showing no sign of stage fright at all.
Having Roy serve as the Saint's guard was Alice's bottom line, which was natural and could not be refused.
The top leaders of the White Harbor Church are now in trouble.
I originally thought that Alice was the kind of maid controlled by a young evildoer, eager to get closer to their church and kick Roy, her master, away. But I didn't expect the little girl to be so determined.
Even the Saint candidates from the East Continent wouldn't dare to speak like this to their superiors.
However, Alice was a genius that appeared once in a century. No matter how tough her attitude was, the priests and nuns did not dare to give her a cold shoulder.
Roy drank tea silently, showing no surprise or panic.
The little maid's loyalty to him even exceeded his imagination time and time again. How could he possibly trick her away with just a few words?
This tea is really hard to drink! It's not as good as the boiled water made by the maid, yue!
Theoretically, if a maid could gain the favor of the church, it would not be an exaggeration to kneel down and kowtow in tears on the spot, but the little maid's indifference troubled several church leaders.
Just as the church leaders were in a dilemma, Theresa clapped her hands.
"Ms. Alice, may I ask why you are obsessed with Mr. Roy?"
Alice answered without hesitation: "Because the master is a good man."
"My master is very kind to me. He provides me with food, clothing, shelter, and even comforts my soul. Alice becomes uncomfortable if she doesn't see him for even a day. After ten days, she needs his clothes...and gifts to fall asleep."
Alice almost let the cat out of the bag but continued to express her love for Roy without changing her expression.
"My master keeps me company when I'm lonely and warms me when I'm cold. He is the indispensable light in my life. If I must use an analogy..."
Alice thought for a moment and said without exaggeration, "Alice regards the Master as a faith, just like the followers of Holy Light worship the goddess!"
The little maid's indifferent expression could not hide the eagerness in her eyes and the passion in her words.
The sincere and heartfelt words made several church leaders stunned, and their expressions became more and more strange.
No, why does this sound like brainwashing?
Having said that, it is not uncommon for nobles to keep maids privately, but this is the first time they have seen someone seriously calling "Master" and "Master" all the time!
And looking at those clear and pure eyes, it is obvious that they are sincere!
Even among the followers of the Holy Light, I'm afraid few can reveal such a pure look?!
Roy was initially moved and embarrassed, but the more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong.
Faith and everything are a bit too much! Don't let people really mistake your master for a cultist who brainwashed little girls!
After a ten-minute speech filled with emotion and no skill, Alice finally breathed a sigh of relief and concluded, "In short, the Master may not be omnipotent, but for Alice, living without a Master is absolutely impossible!"
Theresa also laughed at this moment, and her eyes looking at the master and servant became warmer.
"I understand."
