Chapter 15: The Saintess and the Arbitrator
Outside the iron bars, a woman with silver hair and red eyes lay weakly on a cart, her limbs bound in chains, pushed by several believers. Behind them, there was a man carrying a huge sword.
It seemed that she sensed something, as the woman lifted her head and exchanged a glance with Leo.
Her eyes showed no emotion at all.
"What are you looking at?" shouted the believer in charge of the escort, striking the prison door with his whip. "You pig, hurry up and roll back if you don’t want me to gouge out your eyes!"
"Yes, yes, yes," Leo quickly pretended to be frightened, curling up his body a little.
"Hmph," the believer was pleased with his attitude, stroking his beard and mocking, "You are really a coward, but you are very suitable as a human sacrifice."
"Oh? Who are you calling a coward?" A charming female voice slowly echoed inside the prison, as Tina walked over gracefully, looking coldly at the believer.
"…Hey, defending the human sacrifice, Tina, you’re asking for trouble—"
"Be quiet!" Before the believer could say anything, the man with the huge sword shouted loudly.
The believer instantly shivered, glanced at Tina, then at Leo, said nothing more, and waved his hand to signal his followers to continue their escort.
Tina turned to the side to clear the way, but the coldness in her eyes never faded.
Leo hid in the shadow of the prison, watching the believer carrying the huge sword, activating his true sight.
[Joyful Church Arbitrator: Dias (injured)]
[Rank: advanced believer]
[Species: Joyful Doll]
[Strength: 15]
[Agility: 15]
[Physical Strength: 15]
[Charm: 0]
[Intelligence: 0]
[Spiritual Vision: 15]
[Ability: The gap between your strength and the target’s is too great; their abilities are shrouded in mist.]
So powerful… This number is truly impressive… Their rank is even an advanced believer. Also, what is the joy puppet?
Leo hurriedly lowered his head, trying to hide the shock on his face.
The sound of clinking chains grew fainter and gradually disappeared at the end of the hallway.
"They’re just a bunch of newcomers; what big words they have." Tina kept staring at the backs of those believers, pouting unhappily before finally opening the prison and stepping inside.
Seeing that Leo looked unwell, she quickly walked beside him and asked with concern, "Master, what’s wrong?"
"It’s nothing, I just saw someone really important…" Leo rubbed his eyes and voiced his confusion, "A newcomer? By the way, where do the believers of Joyful Church come from?"
"Well, most of them are chosen from the nearby villages around the main church. Many of the young people there are descendants of Joyful Church believers, and a small portion are selected from the sexual slaves of the higher-ups." Tina sat beside Leo, stretching her legs and yawning.
"The believers who just insulted you were originally the warden’s sexual slaves. This time, the warden caught the saintess of the Order Church. I heard that the sub-church happened to have a few openings for new members, so they became the new believers. I don’t know what they told the warden, but they didn’t even go through the basic prayers and tests, yet they were allowed to help us manage the human sacrifice items."
"Haha, how true, one person’s rise can lift up others. These guys must have killed countless fellow countrymen just to become the warden’s sexual slaves."
"Is that so? So, that silver-haired, red-eyed prisoner is the saintess of the Order Church." Leo nodded and continued to ask, "What is a Pleasure Doll, do you know?"
"Pleasure Doll?" Tina paused for a moment, then showed a surprised expression, "Master, how do you know about this?"
"The man carrying the huge sword in the transporting party for the human sacrifice items is a Pleasure Doll." Leo replied.
"What? This…" Tina’s shock deepened, "Pleasure Dolls are artificial weapons created by the church through biological hybridization, divine prayers, and organ transplants. Although they lack intelligence and can only follow orders, their strength can reach the level of advanced believers. However, aren’t these dolls all in the Judgment Team, directly under the pope’s command?"
"Why is this happening here?"
"What other reason could there be? It must be to capture the saintess or to guard her." Leo let out a bitter laugh and then continued to ask, "Wait, Tina, since the saintess has already been caught, has the warden returned?"
He remembered again the beautiful woman who gently took out the human heart for the sacrifice.
"Hehe~ Who knows~" Tina pouted, shaking her delicate foot, looking proud as if saying she would only tell if begged.
"Hey, my short temper!" Leo snorted coldly, pinching her soft bottom, "Are you going to tell me or not!"
This Miss Mucus is becoming more and more mischievous!
"Please spare me, please spare me~ Hmm~ Master, you are so naughty~" Tina moaned again, then rested her long legs on Leo’s lap, wrapped her arms around his neck, and leaned into his embrace, "The warden hasn’t returned yet, but the saintess from the Order has been brought back; I guess she will return in a day or two."
"Is she coming back so soon…" Leo bit his finger, feeling somewhat uneasy.
He always felt that something was not quite right.
"What’s wrong, master? Isn’t it good that she is back?" Tina leaned close to his ear, breathing hotly, "This way, I have a chance to eat her up~"
"Returning is certainly a good thing, but my strength is not strong enough yet, so I can’t help you deal with her." Leo shook his head and then asked, "By the way, order…"
"What is the story of the saintess of the sect?"
"I don’t know the exact details, after all, this is a secret within a secret…" Tina shook her head apologetically. "Anyway, Joyful Church took advantage of the holy woman’s visit and gathered their forces to bring her back."
"As for what we will do after catching it, I don’t know…"
"What should we do with it… wait a moment, let me think." Leo frowned and rested his chin on his hand, stopping his speech. He felt that he had caught an important thread.
Tina did not disturb him; she just leaned behind him, her delicate hands gently massaging his shoulders.
If any other believers saw this scene, they would be utterly shocked.
Let alone the idea of human sacrifice, Tina’s wild personality was unruly even in front of the warden, not to mention giving someone a massage.
"Wait a moment…" After a while, Leo swallowed and slowly said, "Tina, what rank do you think the saintess of the Order Church is?"
