Don't confiscate my identity as a human race-Chapter 1195 - 798: Lanci: I’ll be a Cardinal Bishop? _2

"Ah?"

Lanci's brows furrowed; he still couldn't grasp what Sigrid meant, but he was gradually sensing something ominous.

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

"Here."

Sigrid once again disassembled the Holy Seal and placed the Radiance Corona part in his palm.

Instantly, the Bishop's Holy Seal, as if having found its true master, started to radiate a dazzling brilliance, illuminating Lanci's incredulous face.

[Proof of the Bishop - Kuang'ai]

[Category: Equipment Card]

[Tier: Orange Epic]

[Attribute: Link/Seal]

[Order: 0]

[Effect: The identity token of Bishop Kuang'ai, also usable by the Bishop of Hegemony. Can craft various levels of Rebirth credentials for the Kuang'ai branch, exerting special attack and intimidation attributes on holders of lower-level Rebirth credentials, capable of locating the approximate position of clergymen of the same branch, and discerning the genuineness of Rebirth credentials displayed by other branches. Can open the Bishop's Council Hall, the Desperate Arena, and the Bishop's voting ceremony.]

[Remarks: The holder is Lanci Welfort.]

"What, what?"

Lanci's eyes widened, cradling the Holy Seal in his hand.

"Me, a Cardinal Bishop?"

In an instant, Lanci also realized why the mysterious movements of that Cardinal Bishop always seemed somewhat similar to his own.

And why he had been able to sense other members of the Rebirth Church beneath the level of bishop since his return from the Northern Continent.

So the Cardinal Bishop turns out to be myself?!

He seemed to be in a bit of a bind that he couldn't wash off.

"Hey, kid, becoming a Cardinal Bishop at such a young age, you really have a bright future ahead of you."

Sigrid patted Lanci's shoulder with the air of a senior,

"We can sit together at the next Bishop's meeting."

She even somewhat anticipated showing off their pairing to the other Cardinal Bishops.

"Maybe you should take this Proof of the Bishop back...?"

Lanci tentatively asked.

"Do you think that could change the fact that you are a Bishop?"

Sigrid countered.

Although Lanci didn't possess the Proof of the Bishop before, he certainly had the identity of one.

The divination compass at the South Continental Kingdom Union Council, capable of detecting the general movements of the Rebirth Church's Cardinal Bishops, had always been divining Lanci's movements.

As a result, he became the newly appointed Cardinal Bishop, and he himself was unaware, while the Southern Continent people found a supremely baffling Bishop settling in Hutton Kingdom – a total farce at the Joke-Faced Kingdom Joint Council.

Now Lanci was the second person to know the identity of that Bishop.

"I'm a good citizen, not the head of a heretical cult!"

Lanci clutched his head.

He had never felt happy about joining the Rebirth Church.

If he must say, his happy memories were all from his times alone with the Bishop of Hegemony; other times, he was helping the Bishop of Hegemony as an anti-cult fighter against the Rebirth Church.

As a vanguard against cults, his commitment was somewhat shattered!

"Also, congratulations, your promotion token is ready; once back in the present world, you will quickly reach Seventh Order and obtain an Epic-level position."

Sigrid's gaze held a hint of schadenfreude.

Tokens for inscribing positions often have [Mechanical] or [Link] attributes, indicating that they are artisan-made or special tools, with inheritance effects or relics of ancient divine artifacts.

These two attributes are the only second-tier attributes located on the left side of the third row in the attribute periodic table, numbered twenty-one and twenty-two, and they are the attributes closest to Magic Artisans and the Shadow World.

The inherent attribute of a Bishop's Proof of the Rebirth Church is Link, with all uninitialized Bishops' Proofs having solely the Link attribute. However, upon contact with their true holder, they will reveal the Bishop's characteristic attribute.

The Proof of the Bishop is an Epic artifact that is aligning with the Bishop's nature, so the compatibility is extremely high and is often used as a token for inscribing positions.

"This Holy Seal will not only inscribe you into a Sealer position, but the distribution ratio for Magic Power and Spirit enhancements will also be according to your own attribute proportions, saving you the trouble of considering material harmony and blending; I'm not quite adept at teaching spellcasters how to inscribe positions, so I can only help you with a one-step solution."

Sigrid finished delivering both the good and bad news, now it was up to the Saint Heir himself to digest it.

Her original trip to the South Continent was to return the Proof of the Bishop to the Saint Heir, although she could use it as well. It was equally important to him.

Recently, the Protoss Empire on the south bank of the Northern Continent had just been stabilized, requiring her presence; at least until the alliance with Aestheland Kingdom was successfully concluded, did she have a chance to leave.

A round trip to the South Continent would take at least two months, and at that time, the Protoss Empire simply could not afford for her to be away for so long.

Waiting longingly for the stars and the moon, she at last gets her holiday to the South Continent, the harsh days finally coming to an end.

What took her by surprise was that before even meeting the Saint Heir in the real world, she encountered him first in the Shadow World, allowing her to deliver this Holy Seal to him earlier than planned.

After a long time,

"Sigrid, I'm glad I met you in the Shadow World; had I not, I might not have figured out who this Cardinal Bishop is even after another year."

Lanci expressed his gratitude to Sigrid.

With things having come to this, he could only accept the Holy Seal of the Bishop.

Whether or not he had it, it wouldn't change the fact that he was a Cardinal Bishop.

It just so happened that he could use it to advance to Seventh-order.

Moreover, seeing that Sigrid hoped for him to become a Cardinal Bishop to support her, he'd just go with it. As long as she was happy, that was good.

"One for each of us."

Sigrid raised her own Proof of the Bishop and placed it beside Lanci's. Through their radiance, she looked at the pair of Holy Seals, growing increasingly content, her mouth curving into a sweet smile.

"Then doesn't that mean your dual Proof of the Bishop is reduced back to one?"

Lanci looked at Sigrid and asked her.

His Proof of the Bishop was already something Sigrid herself could use, so after giving a share to him, she would also be sharing a portion of her power.

"Isn't Bishop Kuang'ai from the Bishop of Hegemony? Are you contemplating setting up your own faction?"

Sigrid grinned, hooking her arm around Lanci's neck, teasing him.

With Lanci holding this Proof of the Bishop, she could still enjoy the power of having two Bishops, as long as Lanci was hers.

"That won't happen."

Lanci lowered his head, gazing at the token in his hands, muttering to himself.

The promises he made to Sigrid wouldn't change.

From the onset of their collaboration, they had pledged not to betray the Bishop, to handle matters for the Bishop, and the Bishop would cover for him, granting access to all resources.

She was a Bishop who valued her promises, never breaking her word to Lanci.

Later, they gradually became those who entrusted their lives to each other during life-and-death moments, considering each other as an essential part of their lives.

"You are the Saint of Hegemony today, you'll be my Saint of Hegemony for life."

Sigrid looked at him triumphantly, her gaze almost warning him not to think about escaping from under Mr. Bishop's banner,

"If you need a Sealing Stone Tablet, I'll snatch it for you, if you need a promotion token, I'll deliver it, if you need to conquer a strong enemy, I'll fight them for you."

She earnestly assured.

Living under Bishop of Hegemony, the benefits will never be in short supply.

Lanci let out a soft laugh, sighing deeply, as if a heavy burden was lifted from his heart.

"You truly are a useful big sister."

He genuinely praised Sigrid.

Sigrid was always reliable to the point where he wasn't sure what else to say.

"Is there even such a thing as a 'useless' big sister? Maybe your Princess of Demon Clan master from the South Continent?"

Sigrid hesitated for a moment, pressing down on him again, questioningly.

She wasn't one to tolerate the mention of another woman while in company,

but Lanci always seemed to inadvertently mention the same woman.

As time went by, Sigrid was close to remembering the woman Lanci couldn't stop thinking about.

She heard Antanas mention that Lanci's Great Love Poet was created based on a Demon Race named Thalia, his definitive Summon. Having a long and exceptionally beautiful Great Demon Clan at his side, without surprise, this "useless" seemed to refer to the said Princess of Demon Clan.

"How did you know she's the Princess of the Demon Clan?"

Caught off-guard, Lanci guessed Antanas must have blabbed something to Sigrid.

Before he could articulate his response, Sigrid's pressure began to mount.

He now felt Sigrid's strange sense of competitiveness ignite, her gaze becoming increasingly aggressive.

"Hey, Saint Heir, compare with me, she's nothing right?"

Sigrid propped her hands on the back of a chair, eyes intently locked onto Lanci's, questioning him.

This question might be risky, but she was quite eager to hear the Saint Heir's direct answer.

If she were to encounter Miss Thalia, the Saint Heir's Demon Race tutor, she would also enjoy sharing the Saint Heir's response with her.
