her Teresa looked at Lynch.Ranche remained as stoic and composed as ever, showing no change in his emotions.Since Lance wasn't speaking, she, as his teacher, didn't want to say anything more.……Not lon...Chapter 274: The Fate of Lance and the Overlord Church

Several pendant lamps hung from the high ceiling, casting a warm glow. Beside the library's side walls, various shapes of sturdy wooden tables and sofas were arranged in an eclectic manner. A bronze candlestick stood on one table, its flickering candlelight emitting a captivating fragrance.

Siegfried still gazed at Lanche. Her delicate features, her soul unrestrained and wild.

"Before I agree to you, please allow me to confirm a few things."

Lan Qi finally spoke.

"You said."

Siegfried's voice was still flat.

She does not allow others to refuse her, but she is still willing to answer questions from those under her in the future.

"Do you want me to be your strategist"

Lance thought that maybe it wouldn't be so bad to join the Baitian branch.

After all, he started at a high position here, his teaching style and personality mesh well with the students, and the headmaster is quite optimistic about him. He wants to achieve great things within the empire. It's definitely better than starting as a spy in the dwindling branch and climbing up slowly.

And he wasn't really a sneaky type of person, he preferred to do things openly and honestly.

"That's right, your responsibility is to help me win the bishop election in two months. If you can accomplish this, no matter what your request is, I will do my best to reward you."

The Patriarch nodded, vowing to agree.

"But this strategist position requires authority to do good work. Can you really trust someone like me"

Lan Chi asked.

He didn't think Sigrid was a bad boss, but since she would hire someone from the Extinction Branch, she must have thought about the risks.

"I can see that you don't have a grudge against me, but you do seem to want Asksang harmed. That's enough to raise suspicion."

Sigrid lightly tapped the armrest of the throne, watching Lance with a hint of amusement. For some reason, she felt like she could easily read this boy's mind,

"Besides, I will give you a chance to betray me. Before I think you have betrayed me, I will completely trust you, even if you want to kill me. But correspondingly, if you really betray me one day, I will do everything in my power to personally kill you."

So, on some decision-making matters, could I possibly have more autonomy

If the Catholic Church had this kind of guts, he would be willing to give it a try with her.

Sigrid paused for a moment, her words hanging in the air.

"You're a bit too arrogant... But that's exactly the kind of person I need. If you can prove your worth, I'll give you as much autonomy as possible."

She replied, but from this point on, her voice, which had been devoid of hesitation, didn't seem to intend to speak further with Rancid.

She believes she has already given enough sincerity.

If the other party is still ignorant and wants to push their luck, then she can only treat it as the other party wasting her time.

The cat boss's body was tense, like an arrow on a bow. Silence surrounded him, but this silence felt like a hammer beating faster and faster against his chest, accelerating his heartbeat to the point of explosion.

"Then, I'm delighted to be working with you, Archbishop."

Ranchi's voice soothed the cat boss's ears once again,

Many aspects of decision-making also require your cooperation.

Lanche made the formal decision to join the Batian branch.

He drifted through life for decades, never finding a wise ruler. If Sigrid wouldn't abandon him, he would gladly swear fealty to her as his bishop.

As for his original intentions, they remain unchanged.

Who says observing the Sealer Tablets requires Asksar's consent

"Not bad, I see your potential, perhaps even pushing you further. The power I will bestow upon you, I will not hold back."

Siegfried nodded.

This young man before her was completely different from her previous apprentice, even diametrically opposed. However, she was very satisfied.

Although I'm not too keen on taking in the Holy Son, one day I will cultivate a new disciple to kill the Annihilation Holy Son.

Siegfried, the High Templar, spoke to himself as if remembering his deceased celestial maiden.

When she mentioned the Acolyte of Emptiness, even the temperature in the entire library dropped, making the Cat Boss shiver and bristle again.

"Wouldn't it be easy for you to kill him"

Lan Qi didn't find it strange, and understood the mood of Baitian Church deeply, so he asked.

If not for Lance staying in Loren, waiting in the Heiton Royal City where the strong resided, the Ruinous Bishop Ivanos would likely have come personally to kill him.

After all, he's killed a saintess before, so he's experienced.

I wouldn't stoop so low as to personally kill a saint, unless he challenged me. Then I would treat it as if he were committing suicide, sending him on his way.

Siegfried answered coldly,

"I know you're not weak, but the gap between you and the Holy Son and Holy Daughter is still too great. Don't have any dangerous thoughts."

Although she knew that the current Protoss Empire was the most suitable version for this young man right now, she didn't want to lose such a good seedling again.

She would never let go of any grudge, she could only endure for a long time. Once she found the best opportunity, she would return it with interest, making the enemy feel fear.

After the warning, she looked at the new recruit she had personally hired, her eyes still full of admiration.

"First, there's something I need you to do, an opportunity for you to prove your worth to me."

She said.

"No problem, but next week I need to be at the Protoss Royal Magic Academy for my regular work, so soonest would be early next month."

Lanche replied.

The boss finally let out a sigh of relief with the cat in his arms.

It is confident that this boy's business skills are no problem.

This must have been the Heavenly Church's initial consideration of him as a direct subordinate. They will decide whether to further utilize him or slightly reduce his importance based on his performance.

But no matter what, the Cat Boss doesn't care anymore. As long as Ranch can develop steadily in the Overlord branch, he'll be able to find Huxiang effortlessly and return to Nan Continent after a while!

Please stop promoting yourself! I beg you!

"I see from your information that you're from Lirom City in the Southwest Province, aren't you"

Siegfried created a [Rebirth Certificate - Tyrant] swirling with purple light using the Bishop's Testimony, and threw it to Lance.

She knew that this young man was the tutor of the noble daughter from the border town of Lirom, and that school became closed on weekdays. She didn't mind waiting a few days.

"That's right."

Lanche steadily caught the Holy Seal and nodded in confirmation.

It is said that a figure capable of changing the Protoss Empire has emerged in the southwestern province. Even my disciples are convinced by him, and there are even rumors that he will participate in the next imperial presidential election...

Siegfried leaned against the throne, speaking slowly.

With this direct military seal in your possession, go to the Southwest Province and investigate the recent changes that have occurred there. Also, find out who this "Pioneer" is and bring him to me.

She didn't know what kind of persuasive rhetoric and talent for controlling minds the "Pioneer" possessed, capable of constantly elevating his image in the eyes of the imperial people, leading more and more to revere him as a spiritual leader.

Although they are a consistently poorly-perceived, resurrectionist sect, it's difficult to convince respectable political rising stars to collaborate with them in controlling the entire Protoss Empire. Even hoping for their friendship and trust is an incredibly challenging endeavor.

But if Locke could do it, she would acknowledge his abilities and give him a great deal of power.
