Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead-Chapter 556 - 444, Precision Parts_1

Chapter 556: Chapter 444, Precision Parts_1

In the afternoon, the news of Fang Hao becoming the City Lord was posted all over the city.

There was no grand wedding ceremony, nor a visit to the Temple for divine blessings.

Instead, notices were posted on city bulletin boards, confirming Fang Hao’s identity as the City Lord, as well as his marriage to Rebecca.

Currently, there aren’t many people in the streets.

However, this news would soon spread throughout the city, and everyone would then know about it.

Three o’clock.

Fang Hao was sitting in his room in the City Lord House.

Nearby were a few of his heroes.

He simply explained to them about his sudden ascension as the City Lord.

In summary, Fang Hao was playing the role of a husband.

This prevented the Federal Conference from having an excuse to take over, and he managed to peacefully take control of this Level 12 subsidiary city.

When Fang Hao relayed Rebecca’s words, “Injustice happens everywhere, I’m fortunate to still have the chance to choose,” everyone showed a measure of admiration for this woman.

Those words perfectly represented the societal ethos of this era.

War has never ceased, and survival of the fittest occurs at every corner.

Knock Knock Knock!!

Someone knocked on the door.

“Come in.”

The door opened. It was the Lionheart Knight, standing guard outside, “Sir, the priest from the Temple is here, waiting for you in the hall!”

The priest from the Temple was, of course, Miriam.

Why did she come to see him?

He was a fraudulent City Lord.

“Alright, let’s go out and see.”

After saying that, Fang Hao led his people to the City Lord House’s main hall.

As soon as they entered the hall. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

They saw Miriam sitting there.

But Miriam appeared to be in good shape, her once old and wrinkled skin seemed much younger than before.

“Priest Miriam, you were looking for me?” Fang Hao asked curiously.

Miriam stood up and courteously saluted, “City Lord.”

There was no surprise or doubt in her expression, obviously, she had already received the news that Fang Hao was now the City Lord.

“Uh, take a seat,” Fang Hao took a seat on the side as well.

Miriam sat down again, a maid brought over fruit tea.

“City Lord, there’s some trouble at the Temple,” Miriam started speaking directly after sitting down.

“Priestess Miriam, shouldn’t you be discussing this issue with Rebecca? It’s actually quite difficult for me, as the City Lord, to mobilize resources and manpower in the city,” Fang Hao directly responded.

Though Lyss City was his subsidiary city, in the eyes of its residents and soldiers, he was merely Rebecca’s husband—an empty figurehead of a City Lord.

According to the agreement he had with Rebecca, he would not interfere with her powers in Lyss City.

In any case, it would be more beneficial to seek Rebecca’s help in the city than his own.

“It’s Lady Rebecca who asked me to come to you,” Miriam held her staff in front of her, gazing straight ahead.

“Oh, then let’s talk, what do you need?”

“For some reason, divine blessings will no longer be bestowed upon this city, and the God of Light statue in the Temple has developed cracks,” Miriam elaborated while making church gestures.

Upon hearing Miriam’s words.

Fang Hao immediately remembered the system notification he’d seen after taking over the city—due to a factional conflict, the God of Light statue would lose its function.

Not only could the temple priest sense this, even the divine statue had cracked too.

Fang Hao looked at Miriam and asked, “Do you know why?”

“I’m not sure, perhaps the bishop might receive some divine revelations,” Miriam replied.

“So, Priestess Miriam, did you come here to have me do something for the Temple? Repair the statue?” Fang Hao continued to inquire.

Many residents of Lyss City worshipped the God of Light.

Even if the statue is broken, it cannot be simply thrown out of the Temple.

They would need to gradually transition its role, then replace it with a statue of the King.

Upon hearing Fang Hao’s words, Miriam fell silent.

As if making some kind of decision, she finally spoke, “City Lord, my son will stay here. His identity does not allow him to settle down in other cities, so I have decided to stay. Although I can’t continue serving as a priestess of the Light, I can pass on my knowledge.”

Miriam’s son was a half-demon.

Not to mention going to other human cities, even in Lyss City, he had to tread carefully.

Once his identity was exposed, even if he had never committed any wrong, his half-demon status would warrant a death sentence.

Therefore, for her son’s sake, Miriam did not plan to leave.

After hearing Miriam’s reason, Fang Hao did not show any surprise.

In his opinion, although Miriam is a believer, she was not a fanatic.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have kept the half-demon a secret from the Church.

Leaving the Church of Light to stay here could be understood.

“I can agree to this on behalf of Rebecca. You can continue to stay in the Temple. The Temple will undergo refurbishment and adjustments, and you can still be the priestess,” Fang Hao agreed directly.

Miriam pondered for a bit, but did not reject the offer.

“I understand, City Lord. I will do my job.”

“Yes, when the time is right, I will provide your son with an identity, allowing him regular access to Lyss City, ensuring no one would pass judgment on him based on his identity,”

Upon hearing Fang Hao’s words, a noticeable change appeared on Miriam’s face.
