Chapter 449: BS!
Fei’s face changed color as he dashed down the defense wall.
“I asked you to open the gate faster, and you dare to speak back to me? I will fu*king kill you! Go tell that damn Head Commander of yours to come here and see me……” a Holy Knight shouted with an angry expression as he sat on his mount and whipped the few soldiers who were guarding the gate mercilessly. As if they were getting burned in a fire, the soldiers rolled and screamed in pain on the ground.
This Holy Knight had the strength of Eight-Star, and he was very vicious. Every single whip from him would destroy the soldiers’ armors, and the skin on the soldiers’ bodies got whipped open. In just a second, one soldier got whipped five times, and he was close to dying. Even though this Holy Knight was mighty and could kill these ordinary soldiers easily, he controlled his force and wanted to torture these soldiers on purpose.
“How dare you!” a shout sounded as someone dashed towards this Holy Knight.
“Whoosh!”
A dash of silver sword energy collided with the horsewhip in this Holy Knight ’s hand.
Then, a young and handsome figure appeared. He helped the soldier who was fainting to stand up as he stared at this Holy Knight with a furious expression.
“How dare you? Who are you? How dare you attack an Execution Team of the Holy Church? Humph! You must be an evil entity, and you must be friends with the evil Undead Mage Hazel Bank! You shall be burned alive on the cross!” that Holy Knight shouted.
He knew that dash of sword energy was powerful, and he would have been killed if it went directly at him. However, as a member of the Holy Church, he had been spoiled by others. Even though Fei was a lot more powerful than him, he opened his mouth and gave Fei the title of evil arrogantly.
“Humph! How dare he attack me? There are too many masters who are more powerful than me but still got tortured by me! You will be next!” this Holy Knight thought to himself.
As he was still thinking about how he would torture this young man and planning to signal his peers, this arrogant Holy Knight suddenly saw a flash of golden light with his peripheral vision. As if he was struck by lightning, his body froze, and his eyes almost popped out of his face as they opened wide. His peers who were joking and laughing beside him had the same reaction as well.
The young man who just appeared had a Golden Battle Ring under his feet, and Golden Holy Power had been spreading out like waves in the ocean……
“God! This…… Golden Holy Power!?”
The members of the Holy Church who cultivated Holy Power couldn’t be more sensitive to this unique Holy Power, and they all knew what it meant.
It was the unique symbol of [God’s Favorite Children]! These people were the most influential in the Holy Church, and they all had bright futures! The God loved everyone who had Golden Holy Power, and they had the potential of becoming the next Pope of the Holy Church!
As the Golden Holy Power shined, the entire area was filled with the divine and gentle energy. The soldiers who were whipped and severely injured gradually woke up; they felt like there were several dashes of warm energy flowing around in their bodies, and the pain they were sensing was almost gone. As they opened their blurry eyes, they saw a tall figure and a handsome face that they could never forget.
Healing injury was one of the critical uses of the Holy Power. After all, other elemental powers such as water-elemental magic energy couldn’t heal others as effectively
“Sir…… King Alexander!” the soldiers in the area realized what was going on and all yelled as they kneeled.
“You…… you are……?”
The Holy Knights of the Holy Church got off of their mounts and slowly walked over. Although they weren’t sure about Fei’s identity, they were a lot politer than before as they looked at Fei with some fear and respect in their eyes.
“God said he loves all creatures the same. As the followers of God, we need to spread this message across the continent and make everyone experience the love and kindness of the Lord. However, as Holy Knights, what you did are against the God’s will! You are bringing shame to the Holy Church!” after Fei healed the soldiers using the skill [Prayer], he turned around and scolded the Holy Knights using the mission statement of the Holy Church that he learned from traveling poets. However, the Holy Knights of the Holy Church who were vicious a moment ago didn’t dare to argue, and they all lowered their heads. After all, Fei’s Golden Holy Power and sharp stares were putting too much pressure on them.
If Fei didn’t have other plans and if he weren’t in public, he would have destroyed these Holy Knights who had no sense of respect for other people. The King hated people who bullied others, especially the ones from the Holy Church. When that Priest Balesi tried to semi-kidnap Angela, Fei used his Necromancer Power and sent him into the heavens!
“Uh…… we……” The Holy Knights didn’t know what to say; they were all shocked by Fei’s presence.
At this moment, the levitating magic carriage that was being pulled by a handsome horse that had all pure white fur slowly floated over, and a priest opened the gate of the carriage respectfully. This priest then helped an old man, who was wearing a black and red robe and holding a golden cross wand, to get out of the carriage.
“Huh? This old man must be Red-Robe Deacon Pellegrini, and he must be influential! Although he looks like he is going to die at any second, the hidden power in his body is terrifying and far beyond the realm of everyone else in the team…… Eh, he must have been a Moon-Class Elite for many years!” Fei didn’t say anything, but he got more cautious.
“Cough, cough, cough…… you guys! Why aren’t you apologizing to [God’s Favorite Child] His Highness? Do you guys really want to die on the burning cross?” that old man coughed and scolded. When he started speaking, his chest moved up and down rapidly as if he was going to die, but he voice was loud and clear. A dash of light appeared in his eyes when he stared at the Holy Knights furiously, and he then turned around and said to Fei with a smile, “Your Highness, which shrine are you from? Why are you here training in a little remote city?”
“Are you trying to figure out my background?” Fei sneered in his mind.
After he used his Paladin Mode and easily fooled that little priest named Zola in Chambord, Fei realized the value of this identity. After he read some books about the Holy Church, he already knew what it meant to have a Golden Battle Ring under his feet. Therefore, he had been planning to utilize his Paladin Mode and continue this scam.
The King knew that this identity was critical in some situations. How could he perfect this lie? Fei had many ideas but ended up choosing the most secure option – keeping up the mysteriousness.
The identity of [God’s Favorite Child] was a secret! Except for the Golden Battle Ring that would appear when someone uses Holy Power, all other information on these important people were well kept in the Holy Mountain, Waulu Mountain. Other than the supreme Pope and a few top-tier Priests and Holy Knights, no one had access to these documents that were stored in the Holy Library. Perhaps gods really existed in this world as no one in the history was able to fake this identity. After all, only the members of the Holy Church had the ability to cultivate Holy Power, and the Golden Battle Ring couldn’t be mimicked even if someone tried. Therefore, the Holy Church never had its guards up around people with Golden Holy Powers.
However, Fei with the help of the Paladin Mode was able to exploit this loophole in the system.
After Red-Robe Deacon Pellegrini asked him that question, Fei frowned and said with an arrogant tone, “I’m King Alexander of Chambord, a level 1 affiliated kingdom of Zenit.”
Pellegrini’s expression froze for a second when he heard the answer.
However, as if nothing happened, this old man smiled and replied, “Oh I see. Your Majesty, we are on a mission, and we need to stay in the city for a period. Please don’t mind us.”
In fact, this old man was fooled by Fei. Every single [God’s Favorite Child] was tied to one or multiple influential figures in the Holy Church and was connected to multiple forces. The Holy Church wasn’t as tight and organized as people had thought. Since the Holy Church pretty much covered the area of the entire continent, each of the Bishops had power in their own regions, and there were multiple branches and forces in the Holy Church. Usually, these branches of power were known as ‘shrines’ in the Holy Church, and each of the powerful shrines would choose a [God’s Favorite Child] to support. If their [God’s Favorite Child] could become the Pope, then their shrine could dominate over other shrines for at least more than 20 years.
