On the other hand. [I hope readers remember our domain name here.]

Unlike the bustling commercial district, the surroundings of the Grim Knight's Temple in the Imperial City Helorum remained eerily deserted. A biting wind swept across the streets.

This tower, with its peak piercing the sky, has weathered centuries of storms. Through generations, artisans have carved ancient legends onto its rugged surface. Tales of heroes and demons clashing are etched into every stone, frozen in time by history.

And now it has been planned for revival by the Protoss Empire.

In the depths of the temple, within the Grand Council Chamber, as the most important and secret place in this desolate Knight's Order building, hazy light pillars passed through high windows, giving a solemn and sacred feeling.

A young man sat at one end of the round table. He wore a well-fitting dark gray suit, looking different from the other priests. He didn't even wear the mark of Nirvana, seeming like he was just passing through for business. However, his calm yet profound gaze, every move, exuded composure and authority, clearly indicating that he was the one in control.

Three high priests, who were originally stationed here to oversee logistical and coordinating work with other provincial divisions, now sat nervously beside Kaeus's vacated position. Kaeus himself had been removed from his post.

When the Bishop of Desolation in the north heard about the results of the final assessment, he did not blame the two of them. Instead, he was slightly interested and sent one of his direct subordinates to replace Father Caeus's position.

The meeting hall was bustling but orderly at this moment.

The newly arrived Santander delegate had a stack of neatly organized files laid out before them, each containing detailed information about the individuals who were considered for the final assessment the day before.

He sometimes looked at the document and sometimes smiled.

"Rocky McCasi, without a doubt, demonstrated exceptional abilities in both the written exam and the final assessment. He is, by far, our most outstanding recruit this time around."

Sanders's representative said with satisfaction,

As long as this young man named Loch manages to achieve some merit, he'll likely be promoted to a high-ranking cleric or directly under the command of the bishop. At that time, he will have the honor of meeting Bishop Oblivion himself.

Upon hearing Sander's words, the remaining two archbishops secretly let out a sigh of relief.

This time, they almost got caught up in the trouble and suffered alongside Kaeus. However, it seems that their merits balance out their demerits, and the Silent Archbishop doesn't seem to intend to punish them.

And as for Lock, who was discovered by them, he might even be able to compete with the Son of Annihilation in a few years, given his talent.

After all, the Annihilation Saint Child proved his status through his unique talent and blood-soaked hands.

If this young man named Locke were younger and more skilled, even though he is still far from the Saint Child of Oblivion, as long as he is given time to hone himself, he would pose a great threat to the Saint Child of Oblivion.

Correspondingly, the Buddha-to-be would probably not allow him to grow wild like this.

Sander's delegate continued to examine the final assessment information given to him by the two high priests. More than ten candidates had passed both the written and practical exams, but only half of those who passed the final assessment were deemed qualified.

Most of the villains who successfully passed the final assessment had, either alone or in cooperation, murdered a high-ranking cleric from the Annihilation branch within a day without anyone noticing.

Therefore, their rankings are all at the level of starting elite clergy.

“……”

The clerk, holding a pen, twitched at the corner of his eye and quickly lowered his head, refocusing on his work.

Although Kaeus is still alive, he's been put on work suspension, his house was demolished, and he still has to keep paying his mortgage. It seems like death would be preferable.

"These two people aren't from the Batian branch sent to mess with us, are they"

Seeing that the Sander delegates favored these two so much, even the nearby high priest wore a worried expression.

The greater the ability, the harder it is to control, and the greater the potential for harm. A single Locke or West Germany is fine, but if they were both together, they wouldn't know how to handle them. They are their superiors, yet they wouldn't even dare speak loudly to these two.

Cardinal Caius was a lesson to be learned, the damage he suffered cannot be described in words.

To be honest, there aren't people like this under the authority of the Heavenly Church. Even if there were, the Heavenly Church wouldn't be willing to let them do undercover work.

Sanders glanced at them coolly.

Do you know about what happened to the Heavenly Tyrant Virgin being killed by the Annihilation Saint Son before

Although the Heavenly Church has always been a mysterious entity, its direct subordinates still understand some things about it.

"I've heard of it."

Both knew that the Blazing Archbishop and the Annihilating Archbishop often clashed, but this time, the Blazing Archbishop didn't seek a final showdown with the Annihilating Archbishop.

So, does the Pope not care about the lives of his followers

The Grand Master asked again.

"Well, ... It seems that the Pope of Hegemony, who cares most about his 'property,' is the one who's truly angry. The fact that he's holding back this rage to an extreme degree is actually quite terrifying. I think after this incident, the Hegemony Church won't let their subordinates do anything so dangerous again."

Sander gently raised a finger, correcting the other two archbishops. For cardinals who were close to the divine, their subordinates weren't even considered people, at most they were just possessions.

Even if all his subordinates were added together, their combined fighting power wouldn't even come close to that of the Cardinal.

The prestige of any faction stems from the influence wielded by its highest-ranking cardinal across the entire continent.

Upon hearing this, both high priests nodded.

If the Batian branch also recruited new members, these two guys probably wouldn't choose to join the Batian branch.

Though they appear innocent on the surface, their actions are even more sinister than those of their Annihilation Branch counterparts.

"Pay a little attention to West Germany; she still has the suspicion of being taught by a fortune teller."

"Where's Locke"

The Grand Master asked.

They were certain that Sander was not naive, in fact, he saw things very clearly.

There is no doubt about this guy, he's completely on our side, a natural fit. He's clearly different from those who follow the goddess of fate.

"Sanders remarked, then paused for a moment, a hint of amusement playing on his lips,"

"Just so, according to our intelligence from the Etherskylan informants, there have been quite a few internal spies from the Etherskylan Kingdom infiltrating the Northwest Province recently. Even this time, there's a key figure who has had contact with the Snow Witch. Next month, we'll send them and other new recruits to join the inspection team led by the Holy Child of Extinction in the Northwest Province to showcase their Hound abilities."

If these two were to have any uncontrollable incidents, they wouldn't cause trouble here in the Imperial City. Just leave any complications for the Silent Saint to handle.

"What if Locke and West... they start fighting each other"

The High Priest asked with some worry.

Both of these people are impulsive.

It's estimated that no one would submit to the other, and sending them far away would be even more uncontrollable.

"Humph, I'd rather see the two of them fight to the death. Whatever happens, we'll come out on top, won't we"

Sander said no more after that, and that is also a job of filtering and screening.

If West Germany is a mole, then it would be best for Rocky to expose and eliminate her.

If she can't dry up, she'll also expose her flaws, and Locke's ability is nothing more than that. Just die already.
