Chapter 52

‘Nana?’ The man’s expression immediately turned gloomy. Even within the Temple of Light, only the pope could address the saintess as such. How could a country bumpkin from the Chaos Forest dare to call the saintess of Temple of Light with a nickname!

Carlina gracefully stepped aside and said in a charming voice, “Brother Chu Nan, this is the herald priest from the Temple of Light, Lord Borad.”

“Oh, so it’s Lord Borad! Nice to meet you!” Chu Nan walked towards Lord Borad with open arms.

Lord Borad furrowed his brows again, but his good upbringing and Chu Nan’s current reputation in the Dolunga City didn’t allow him to reject his hug.

The fury of half a million citizens was not by any means a small force for a country or for him who was alone to face. In a fury, they would be able to trample him to death.

The belief of half a million people was also something the Temple of Light strived for. If they did not treat him well, God knows if those people would have an aversion towards the Temple of Light? After all, it was Chu Nan who had created that miracle!

Between a messenger of the god and a herald priest of the temple, people would naturally believe in the messenger and not the insignificant herald priest.

While Lord Borad hesitated, Chu Nan had already held him in his arms and instantly, the scent of alcohol assaulted his nose.

“I’m really happy to meet Lord Borad!”

While saying that, Chu Nan increased the strength in his arms.

After half a year in the Heaven Forest, even though Chu Nan had not practiced any martial arts, his body had gotten stronger than the previous him who only sat before the computer screen.

As for Lord Borad who only prayed daily and sat in the counselling room to provide enlightenment to others, he was similar to Chu Nan of half a year ago that sat before the computer every single day. In conclusion, his physique was rather lacking.

Lord Borad nearly cried out in pain and the dissatisfaction in his heart increased significantly. A trace of anger flashed through his eyes but before that trace of anger could burn into rage, the amicable smile quickly returned to his face.

Right now, Chu Nan’s miraculous feats had even shocked the pope so who would know of his future development? There was only one method to rise regardless of what faction they were in, and that was to never offend anyone who might have a bright future ahead of them.

“I’m happy to meet Mr. Chu Nan too…” When Lord Borad spoke, his teeth were still clenched. It was the first time that he had to maintain an amicable smile in front of someone who had a lower status than him. Flames of fury had already roasted his intestines and yet, he could only act as if he was very happy.

‘Brother Chu Nan is really warmhearted! It’s his first time to meet Lord Board and yet, he already gave him a hug!’ Carlina, who did not know what had really transpired, was currently admiring Chu Nan’s warm and loving embrace.

After the ‘fiery’ embrace ended, Lord Borad retreated as if he was about to escape and slightly stretched his aching body before he spoke, “Mr. Chu Nan, my purpose here today is to pass down the instructions from the pope. Please kindly tidy up your appearance and maintain your basic etiquette.”

‘Pope!? That was fast!’ Chu Nan secretly clicked his tongue. In mere few days, the news of his feat had already attracted an edict

After snapping his finger, Chu Nan nodded and said, “No problem. Kindly wait in the living room first while I’ll tidy up my appearance.”

“There’s no need to hurry.” Carlina smiled. “Brother Chu Nan, even though the pope’s edict is not as mighty and supreme as King Avery, in Dulraze, it is still a sacred thing. This sort of edict must be read before the whole congregation.”

“Oh?”

“So…” Carline smiled and took out a set of white clothes from her back. “You’ll have to be more formal!”

“Eh?” Chu Nan’s eyes brightened. Although he was unaware if there were any famous brands in this world, the workmanship in that set of clothing was rather exquisite. Moreover, even someone like him who had never worn any branded items could discern that that set of clothing was much more expensive than those famous brands from Italy or France.

“Got it.” Chu Nan smiled and took the clothes. “Then I’d trouble the two of you to wait in the living room. Or could it be that you would like to wait on me?”

Carlina’s tender face flushed red and hastily retreated after giving him an eye roll, whereas Lord Borad left the room with a frown

‘As expected, a country bumpkin is a country bumpkin regardless of his feats. Could it be that the God of Light had made a mistake? How could God possibly hand over the task of saving the citizens to someone like him to complete?’

A disrespectful thought flashed past his mind but he immediately sincerely repented. The supreme God of Light cannot be doubted.

There was a hot spring in the backyard of the city lord estate and after Chu Nan washed up, he casually styled his hair and carefully wore the clothes sent over by the Temple of Light. After which, he checked himself out in a copper mirror.

Pretty good! The white-colored long robes were inlaid with pure gold threads. The wide collar did not feel burdensome in the slightest. On the contrary, it added touches of solemnity to the whole ensemble. Moreover, he did not feel restricted while wearing the robes. It was also several times more comfortable than those famous brands’ clothes back on earth.

As he checked himself out in the mirror, Chu Nan could not help but nod in satisfaction. As expected, clothes maketh the man. Chu Nan, who merely looked like a super handsome young man yesterday, now was giving off traces of holiness in the white robes inlaid with pure gold.

He subconsciously touched his chin and revealed a perfect smile. After a light stretch, he muttered to himself, “Alright! For a better tomorrow, I’ll have to begin my performance once again! I heard that the pope of the Temple of Light is a light magic expert himself. I wonder if in the aspect of spreading faith, who would be better? An insignificant me or the pope?”
