Chapter 738 Cap 736: An Agreement?

I think the place where we spent the least time was the place that I started to call the village of the Beasts since there are only religions linked to the Beasts there.

Diana unknowingly performed the ritual or ceremony she wanted the moment she arrived, High Priest Garcia told us that according to historical records it was supposed to happen instinctively.

No prayers, oaths, or anything else was needed because Diana was not a Priestess or servant of the God Fenrir, she was his champion and representative of his power in the world.

Vanessa once explained to me that a Saint is the voice of God in the world, he spreads the teachings of God by simply being present, he is the authority of that God in the world.

She also explained to me that just as a Saint, the Champion of a God represents God's power in the world, he is the final judgment of those who go against the central dogma of God's teachings, and he represents a religion's sword and shield.

Vanessa said that in times of peace the Saint is the leader of a religion, but during times of war, the Champion leads.

Vanessa told me that the difference in power between a Saint and a Champion is quite big, she took herself as an example when she explained that when she needs great power, she borrows it from the Goddess Selene, but she also explained that a Champion doesn't borrow the power of the God, as long as it is necessary, the power will always be available for him to use.

I found these concepts strange in a religion since I arrived in this world, religions in this world have their own authority and armies, some even have nations from what Vanessa told.

This is a little weird for me, but I don't think I have the right to complain about it being new to this world and being the son of who I am.

-------------

After we left what I call the village of Beasts, we returned to the city, there are still two places I want to visit today, one is the Temple of Life to meet the person that High Priestess Yara wants to introduce us to, I find it strange the way she smile when you say that.

The other place I have to go is the Fertility Church, but I'm not going to personally go into the monsters' lair, I'm not stupid, I'll send Hinata or Sakura in my place, Sakura is inside the Dungeon, but I can call her with a summons now that we have a contract.

Also maybe it's not a good idea to send Hinata, she's a bit unpredictable and often extreme, she doesn't have any limitations when doing things so there always has to be someone around to not let her go too far, my luck that she doesn't have the same malice as Layla or else it would be really scary with the powers she has.

-----------

We arrived in town in the early afternoon, on the way back I mentally talked to Nix to make sure that weird High Priestess Vestyne hadn't done anything to her, but she said the two were just talking.

When we entered the city I felt people's eyes on me again, there were people who looked at me with lust like the Fertility Priests, the biggest problem was that there were men besides women, it gave me goosebumps.

I much prefer the eyes of judgment and murderous intent that so many others are directing at me.

"I'm starting to think coming here was a bad idea." (I)

"I'm worried about this no-fighting rule in the city, I really wanted to sink the faces of these people directing murderous intent at you." (Diana)

"With the strength of some of these people, I think this rule is being more useful to us." (Yara)

"High Priestess Yara is right, you've seen the strength of these High Priests, I don't think I would be able to get away if someone like that came after us." (I)

"You wouldn't run away, the only ones that would be safe would be me, Diana, and Vanessa due to our identities." (Yara)

"And my identity shouldn't be enough to protect me?" (I)

"Not really, your mother is known for not protecting her children and letting them grow up on their own, plus your sisters make a lot of trouble, not as actively as you, but at their age enemies pile up." (Yara)

"I just noticed that my bad luck comes from my birth, can't I change my family?" (I)

"I think that opportunity has passed, Father." (Vanessa)

Sigh

----------

I did my best to ignore most of the stares as we got to the Church of Fertility, it was a white building with pink accents, and it also had statues of pregnant women or small children.

I wasn't going to go into that place, so I took out a bottle of blood and started drinking it, before summoning Sakura.

"< Summon Holy Beast: Sakura >" (I)

A magic circle forms in front of me instantly, the magic circle absorbs my mana and my Ki evenly before I feel something start to emerge, then a Sakura in her leafy dress appears eating a fruit that looks like a shrunken head, belongs to a very strange fruit tree that is on the floor of the land of the dead.

"Do you need me for anything Master?" (Sakura)

"Actually yes." (I)

I explain the situation to Sakura as she looks around, meanwhile, she finishes eating her strange fruit down to the seeds, she always does this to leave seeds inside her, after a few months she can use these seeds to create Dryads or Incarnations of Forest.

"You're not planning on creating a Dryad from this tree, are you?" (I)

"No, at least not yet, I'm trying to learn a new skill, so I'm studying this tree from its seeds inside my body." (Sakura)

Sakura enters the Fertility Church without fear, the Priests ignore her as I thought, she is a being that does not get pregnant and so is far from the focus of her religion.

"Welcome Familiar of Zenos, won't your master do us the honor of receiving him?"

"He won't come in here, but he will speak through me." (Sakura)

"I hope you've come to accept our deal, please follow me to my room."

I was seeing and hearing everything through Sakura when a stunning woman appeared in front of her, the woman was clearly pregnant, but her beauty was incredible and she possessed a natural maternal presence.

Once again some tic of the agreement was cited, but I still don't know what that is.

"But what deal is this?" (I)
