Bishop Tett raised his head to look at the statue of Sange Asia and said in a low voice,"The Scroll Scholar is a fine profession. Generally speaking, it can be considered a special type of spellcaster among the Priest profession. If you have some understanding of the Priests from various churches, you should somewhat comprehend that we are not just healers hiding in the back."
Kael nodded.
In traditional virtual games, Priests are primarily seen as pure healers, but in "The Gates of the Netherworld," a Priest can bestow numerous Divine Arts upon themselves.
Although Priests often become accustomed to hiding behind various frontline professions and enjoying the protection given to healers,
once they realize that the front-line warriors can no longer withstand the enemy's damage, they will put aside the dignity of healers, pick up the Nail Head Hammer, and launch an attack with the Holy Scripture that has a ramming horn affixed to it.
Healing is the reason that those willing to respect the God I believe in stop to listen to the preaching of the divine teachings.

Violence is the fundamental way to make those who are unwilling to respect the God I believe in kneel and listen to the preaching of the divine teachings.
This is true for Priests and even more so for Scroll Scholars.
With a smile on his face that brought ease and pleasure, Bishop Tett said, "I hear from Mr. Luxius that you are willing to be a pioneer for our God and establish the Earth Mother God Church's cathedral in Lancaster?"
"Indeed, the main reason is to guide the followers of Sange Asia in a structured way to perceive the Goddess's radiance. Even the children of the Goddess, without proper guidance, will gradually forget the glory of the Goddess over time.

I always feel that it's not good to let things become that way. I resonate with the philosophy of the Earth Mother God Church, and I yearn for the power of the Undead. Tentatively... It could be said that our interests align!"
Kael did not play any pretentious tactics in front of this Cardinal.
Since Luxius was willing to bring Kael directly to him, it indicated that a consensus had already been reached between the two. Engaging in a verbal sparring match is meant for specific occasions. In this situation, it's most important to be honest and open.
"Since you have this intention and are a Lord of Lancaster, as well as an honorary Priest of our Earth Mother God Church, indeed, you are the most suitable person to propagate the teachings of Sange Asia in Lancaster.
It is indeed in line with the expectations within our Church to grant you, exceptionally, the qualifications to preside over the Church's affairs in your domain. On this point, I have already agreed in advance on behalf of His Holiness the Pope."
The two exchanged glances and smiled at each other.
"I swear to the merciful Sange Asia Goddess!" both said.
After recognizing the look in each other's eyes, they knew they were suitable partners for collaboration.
Bishop Tett placed his hand on a crystal pendant in front of him, a faint white light flashed, and an ancient book appeared in his hands, he said with a smile,
"This is an ancient Church text given to me by the previous Pope during his tenure, recording many contributions Sange Asia has made for this world.
Within it are many interpretations of the Divine Arts, annotated by myself and the former Pope. This book has been by my side for over seventy years, basking in the glory of Sange Asia.
Today, I hand it over to you, in the hope that you will find the suitable children of Sange Asia and allow our Goddess's benevolent gaze to fall upon them."
Kael nodded.
There was no doubt that this was a grand gesture.
The Divine Arts of a Priest are a gift from the God, but naturally, the gift from the God comes with a high price. Offer your loyalty, and in return, you shall receive power; that is the fundamental exchange.
Scroll Scholars who wish to transcribe Divine Arts need at least to have a source to transcribe from, right?
It is commonly said that a competent Scroll Scholar travels the world, seeking various ancient relics, studying the knowledge upon them, and delving into the secrets of the past.
A Scroll Scholar who stays fixed in one place is deemed incompetent; this is a prejudice held by outsiders.
In truth, the real reason is, if you don't travel widely, how can you obtain the relevant Divine Arts to transcribe from the Priests of the vastly different major churches of your active region?
Just as people believe that a Mage who has mastered enough Spells is the strongest, so too is the Scroll Scholar who has mastered enough divine Divine Arts considered a powerful being in the usual sense among Scroll Scholars.
Now, a Cardinal has presented Kael with the ancient books of Divine Arts he has studied over the years, which is tantamount to giving Kael all the Divine Arts below the rank of Pope within the Earth Mother Goddess Church.
As long as Kael's professional level increased, he could soon transcribe the relevant Divine Arts and unleash their corresponding might.
"You are a good child, Bronze Cross Fox Glory Knight, you've been talked about quite a bit lately, may the Earth Mother God protect you, who are sincere and kind, and may you walk further on the path of a Border Lord."
Tertullian showed an expression that could be described as gentle and, under Kael's slightly surprised gaze, took off the Holy Emblem from his body and gently pinned it on Kael, saying:
"What we discussed earlier was an exchange and cooperation not convenient for exposure; now, this is a sincere blessing from an elder to a junior who aspires to light, so please do not refuse."
Luxius looked at Tertullian with an expression almost too shocked for words.
The Holy Emblem of the Earth Mother God, an image of a budding flower surrounded by the rising sun, had Tertullian the Cardinal's name inscribed upon it.
Essentially, this Holy Emblem told all the priests of the Earth Mother Goddess Church that Kael had earned his true friendship.
It could be said that, with this Holy Emblem alone, Kael could receive help from countless priests and nuns of the Earth Mother Goddess within Tertullian's missionary region.
"May the Earth Mother God guide you, who are lost, to find the way back to life, my child, you are still very young, most kids your age are still under the protection of their parents.
But you have to grow up and face even more challenging difficulties; I cannot stop you from taking up the banner of your forebears, but I think with this thing, those people won't come to trouble an old man like me."
After you're at the Royal Capital, come and sit with me when you have the time; maybe this old man can unravel some of your confusion."
Kael nodded his head.
The atmosphere in the Prayer Room became much more cheerful, and the group began discussing plans for the near future, but much of the focus remained on Kael.
After Luxius took Kael out of the Earth Mother God Cathedral and got on the carriage headed to the academy, Luxius suddenly said:
"That Tertullian fellow, he's thinking of vying for the position of the next Pope."
Kael nodded again.
When handing over the ancient books to Kael, Bishop Tertullian had said, "Within them lie many interpretations of Divine Arts made by me and the former Pope."
Placing "me" before "former Pope" indicates that Tertullian sees himself as surpassing the previous Pope.
Whether it is out of anticipation for his future career, or devotion to the Goddess, or to lead the imminent arrival of the Earth Mother God's followers in the Duchy of Lancashire, it's clear that Tertullian has set his sights on that higher position.
"I acknowledge that Tertullian fellow's conscience, but that doesn't mean there's no calculation involved with regards to you. You can be more relaxed when dealing with him, but you must always maintain your own judgment.
Keep that Holy Emblem safe, do not recklessly use the power it represents. The Church's waters run deep, much more so than with us Mages."
When Luxius advised his student like this, he paused subconsciously, saying in a subdued tone:
"The Mage Association in the Royal Capital has already completed the changes to your Mage academic affiliation; from now on, in the legal sense, you are officially my student."
Luxius said this with a hint of sourness, muttering in a voice that Kael "just happened" to be able to hear:
"Don't worry, after you become my student, I've prepared everything for you, Holy Emblems... Holy Emblems, how could they possibly compare to what I've prepared!"
For a moment, Kael didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
This Mr. Luxius, why was he getting jealous?
