Chapter 598: Lady of Light: What Is Happening?

Janine Irene felt a deep sense of…

Awe.

It was no wonder that this predecessor rose above the Pope and quelled the church’s troubles thousands of years ago…

This character and determination were indeed much stronger than her own… no, even stronger than Her Holiness now.

"So, are we going to leave Hillenbrand Town now?"

Janine Irene looked at Lolth and asked seriously.

Lolth looked at her and gently shook her head.

"The time is not right… Let your Holy Maiden stay here and study for a while."

"The best time…"

At this point, Lolth paused slightly and looked toward the south of Hillenbrand Town.

"When the Republic of Seychelles and the United Kingdom of South Sotua are a bit more chaotic."

"Only when both demi-gods take action and the Demon Army gets involved… will the magical energy of the entire western continent become a mess, making it hard to trace your ‘footsteps’."

As Lolth said this, Janine Irene nodded in understanding.

In the Church of Light, although the Great Prophecy was held only by the past Popes…

The high-ranking Divine Word also had similar methods.

So, to prevent those Privy Bishops from suddenly getting suspicious and using some secret spell to investigate…

Even if they didn’t use any spells, they could send someone to ask around…

It was definitely a time of confusion, which made it easier to hide.

Of course… Janine Irene also knew…

If the Republic of Seychelles and the United Kingdom of South Sotua’s demi-gods took action, her and Her Holiness’s safety on this journey might also be affected to some extent.

But since the senior had said so, it meant they fully trusted her.

"I understand, but I have one last question…"

Saying this, Janine Irene looked up.

"Senior… why do we have to keep this matter from Her Holiness?"

"Because she is too idealistic; she cannot accept this ‘method’… Rather, I hope that she will not be influenced by or learn about these things."

Lolth said softly.

Her method could not truly be called brilliant.

At the cost of almost fooling the entire Church of Light, with "false" achievements, she pushed the Lady of Light to the position of Pope…

The Lady of Light would not agree to such a thing.

Even if she convinced her… Lolth felt that she had not nurtured a suitable successor for the Church of Light.

Since she promised the God of Light, she should make this task look beautiful.

What the Lady of Light seeks seems to be creating a nearly "perfect" Church of Light.

At the very least, we should guide the Church of Light toward a perfect form.

So… Lolth chose to tell Janine Irene this part of the plan.

Indeed, this little girl is not as clever and wise as her own Holiness.

But…

Lolth clearly realized that for Janine Irene, the most important thing she was pursuing…

Was that her Holy Maiden could achieve her goals.

I must say, the Pope’s vision is truly sharp.

Not only do the two young girls have outstanding Holy Light affinity and pure hearts.

Most importantly, their personalities… complement each other perfectly!

Someone like Janine Irene is the best fit to be the Lady of Light’s assistant.

Compared to the Holy Light, faith, and virtue… these things, although very important to her, can ultimately be sacrificed for the Lady of Light.

Lolth had no doubt, even if this Lady of Light had really fallen.

In the next moment, Janine Irene would also unhesitatingly abandon her loyal faith and join her Holy Maiden in falling.

This is the bond between the two of them…

Even Lolth, who had a sister, couldn’t help but feel a bit envious of this connection.

After all, she knew very well what her sister was like…

"It’s really something to be envious of…"

Lolth thought this, steadied herself, and looked at Janine Irene again.

"Before we reach the Holy Capital, let’s keep everything a secret from the Lady of Light; we can’t give her too much time to think and decide… You know her better than I do. If she finds out the purpose of this journey on the way…"

Lolth said this, and Janine Irene nodded slightly.

"Her Holiness will surely not agree."

"Don’t worry, although Her Holiness is wise… I have been by her side for a long time…"

"I have quite a bit of experience in hiding things from Her Holiness."

As Janine Irene said this, Lolth also nodded.

"That’s good," Lolth said, thinking for a moment, and took out a Magic Potion from her sleeve, "If necessary… we can use this to make her faint—giving her some time to think calmly."

This Magic Potion naturally came from the landlady’s very special Magic Potion that even the Director of the Heretic Tribunal could easily overturn.

"Once should be enough to keep her down for twelve hours… If you want to wake her up early, you can use your own Holy Light power to stimulate the Holy Light power inside her body."

"The Holy Light power of the Holy Maiden has a strong purifying effect. With a little help from the outside, it can be easily undone."

Lolth said this, and Janine Irene took the Magic Potion spray.

There was about one-third left in the bottle, but it was still enough for five or six uses.

"I understand."

Janine Irene said this, and then asked again.

"So what should I do during my time studying with the Holy Maiden?"

"Do whatever you need to do… It’s best to practice and level up," Lolth thought, and she created a ball of Holy Light power and threw it into her arms, "to improve your strength, so you won’t get struck down by the Sword Master of Seychelles."

Janine Irene took the Holy Light power and was slightly surprised.

Then she realized that her body was automatically absorbing this Holy Light power…

It was almost like it was being drawn out from her own body!

This surprised Janine Irene very much.

However, when she looked up to say thank you, Lolth had already walked far away.

"I’m going to make teaching materials for your Holy Maiden—now you come up with a couple of excuses to explain to your Holy Maiden what we talked about!"

Saying this, Lolth turned and walked away.

Leaving Janine Irene, who was a bit confused, standing in place.

After that, she returned to the greenhouse holding the power of Holy Light.

The Lady of Light looked at Janine Irene as she came back, and at the big bundle in her hands, and was also slightly taken aback.

"What is going on…?"

She did not ask Janine Irene what Lolth had said to her.

Because both Janine Irene and her senior had her full trust.

Since they won’t let her know…

It seems that it is not yet time for her to know.

It’s just that…

The sight of Irene in front of her holding the power of Holy Light was simply too strange!
