Volume 1 Chapter 601

Chapter 601: Lolth: Everything Is Perfect, I Can Finally Start to Slack Off!

After Kanor made the next step of the plan, Lalea did not particularly disagree.

In her view… whether it was a cardinal or an ordinary bishop…

Even the notorious Heretic Tribunal.

None of them would be a match for this young girl.

At first, when she entered the territory of The Church of Light, following this young lady named "Kanor" in the Holy Lieto Empire, she still had some thoughts of repaying Lolth’s kindness.

After all, that succubus helped her a lot, and Lalea often thought that it would be unreasonable not to offer herself in gratitude…

Supporting this disciple, who seemed to be very valued, and helping to protect this young girl was the least she could do.

However, later on, Lalea realized that she had been thinking too much.

From the first time she planned to ask the bishop named Carpenter for "information," she realized she had been too naive.

Yes, at first, when attacking Bishop Carpenter, Lalea also had some doubts.

Although the other’s rank was only extraordinary, he was still a senior bishop of The Church of Light, and this was on the territory of The Church of Light.

The plan suggested by Kanor was to go directly into his church, attack him, and then force him to answer questions.

Even for Lalea herself, it would be nearly impossible to carry out an attack on a church and interrogate the bishop before the reinforcements from The Church of Light arrived…

It would be an almost impossible task!

So at that time, Lalea’s thought was…

To teach this rather quirky and clever little girl a lesson; after her failure, she would step in to save her.

This way, she would have some influence in what happened next.

Although the other party showed great planning skills in the United Kingdom of South Sotua, Lalea still thought at that time, this was the territory of The Church of Light, not the already chaotic and mixed South Sotua.

This little girl was likely to face some difficulties.

Later, Lalea realized…

She was somewhat unaware of her own limits…

In the following events, no matter what size of town or what level of church, and what rank of priest or Paladin was inside…

Kanor could easily handle them all.

This little girl was just like her succubus master, exuding unfairness everywhere.

Lalea was sure that the other party should only have the rank of "Elite Level"—that was how she perceived it no matter what.

But…

The teacher of this little girl, succubus Lolth, when they first met…

She was also an "Elite Level" for crying out loud!

She had plenty of reasons to doubt that this teacher-student pair had some strange obsession with "Elite Level"!

And this Kanor was even more outrageous…

Not to mention the ancient alchemical creation she insisted was "just my set of kitchen tools"…

When Lolth pretended to be Elite Level, at least she played a specific role.

The extraordinary power this little girl displayed…

The warrior is Elite Level, the knight is Elite Level, the ranger is Elite Level, the mage is Elite Level, the warlock is Elite Level… even the priest is Elite Level!

What kind of master combines magic and martial skills?!

The fantastical picture books and serials featuring those Minstrels told stories that were just outrageous!

Most importantly, each major job category had many different specializations.

For example, a mage’s magic was divided into six main types…

And when this little girl was asked, she shyly replied…

"I know a little bit of everything, but I can’t compare to Teacher Lolth, who is proficient in so much…"

"There are still many extraordinary powers and skills that I am not very good at and have not mastered."

As for which ones she was not very skilled at…

Anyway, Lalea didn’t notice anything along the way…

Even the power of Holy Light could be conjured effortlessly, what else could she say?

The epic princess herself, by following this little girl, had truly become a bystander.

Her only purpose seemed to be that sometimes she needed powerful energy, and she could create a spark or something like that.

Removing the Heretic Tribunal’s stronghold was once again a challenging leap.

But at this moment, Lalea’s heart was completely calm.

The Heretic Tribunal, huh…

"Which stronghold are we talking about?"

She asked casually.

"Well, let’s investigate this first… and let me prepare a bit."

Hearing that Lalea’s voice showed no major emotion, Kanor appeared somewhat serious.

The Heretic Tribunal was not an easy opponent to deal with.

Especially that Director of the Heretic Tribunal, whose position was similar to Master Lolth’s, making them rivals.

Their rank might be that of a demi-god.

Even if they might be held back by many tasks and Teacher Lolth herself…

If she wanted to challenge their power, she had to be careful and wise.

"At this point, if Teacher Lolth were in my situation, she probably wouldn’t ‘hide’ too much…"

"Besides, Sister Lalea had proven to be trustworthy during this time…"

"So… I should focus on improving myself!"

Kanor thought this and looked at Lalea.

"Sister Lalea, please help me hide my presence."

As she said this, Lalea nodded.

"No problem."

Even though she didn’t know what Kanor was planning, Lalea still created a spell to cover the presence and extraordinary waves.

As an epic-level mage and the princess of the United Kingdom of South Sotua, she had some secret spells.

And just a moment after the spell was completed…

Lalea thought she had grown numb to Kanor’s heart, but it was shaken once again.

Because she felt…

Kanor’s strength was growing…

The little girl closed her eyes, and countless flowing metal liquid seeped from inside her body, instantly wrapping her up like a metal cocoon.

Kanor was absorbing a huge amount of magic power—at one moment, even the magic power used to create spells was nearly taken away by Kanor!

And this massive magic power had a very noticeable effect.

Her breath was gradually changing from "Elite Level" to…

A stronger "Elite Level."

Lalea found it hard to describe how Kanor was improving.

Because she had raised all of her classes a little bit.

Knights, mages, and warlocks at the middle elite level became high-level.

Warriors and rangers moved from low-level to middle level.

The priest jumped up two levels and became a higher rank.

All the advancements happened almost simultaneously and were completed together…

Inside the small body of the girl, different types of magical power were flowing, and various extraordinary powers did not interfere with each other.

This left Lalea stunned.

This method was like playing a fast beat, solving complex math, while also playing the pipa and painting at the same time…

"What is this…?"

Lalea couldn’t help but exclaim.

And the most important thing was…

Could this little girl really be an Elite Level Superoperator…?

And at the same time, Kanor became stronger.

In Hillenbrand Town, Lolth, who was unaware that her good apprentice was watching her, happily finished the teaching materials prepared for the Lady of Light.

"It’s done!"

Sitting in her "office," Lolth raised the thick, bound magic parchment in her hand, looking quite joyful.

With her previous experience in creating teaching materials, this time Lolth, though not completely at ease…

Still had some insights, so the process went much smoother.

She sealed the book with a few fireproof and water-resistant spells and wrote a title on the cover.

Governance of the Church: From Beginner to Expert!

Inside, she organized some theoretical books she had seen in her past life about "religious reform" and "governing a country."

At the same time, she removed parts that she felt were not suitable for this world of extraordinary power and added some of her own understanding.

Looking at the "changes in the church" over two lives, this textbook was written from the perspective of two worlds…

With the natural intelligence of the Lady of Light, Lolth believed she could surely succeed in reform!

The Pope and the God of Light wanted to stop the decline of the church that was falling apart…

To Lolth, this was not a difficult task!

Although the existence of extraordinary power and God made it impossible for The Church of Light to truly practice "democracy."

However, it was still possible to establish a more efficient review system than the Heretic Tribunal!

To be honest, the current Heretic Tribunal, along with some cardinals set up by the church to oversee different places…

Lolth thought there was already a glimpse of the Jinyiwei and provincial governors she had seen in her past life.

However, this efficiency was still not high enough!

The main reason was still too much reliance on "extraordinary power"!

This system was good, but the main way to judge if someone had fallen was to check the power of the Holy Light or use a divine spell to examine their soul.

To put it bluntly…

This wouldn’t find anything useful!

As long as they were guaranteed not to change their beliefs, they could do whatever they wanted as long as they found a reason to "persuade" themselves!

The God of Light slept every day, and Lolth, who always thought "power is just power"…

Naturally did not think the Holy Light was very trustworthy.

Right now, most of those bishops were still just playing around…

But Lolth also understood that the concerns of the Pope and the God of Light were reasonable.

Once there was a trend of "falling," and someone began to test the limits of the Holy Light…

As long as they still relied on this system, the situation would only get worse.

So… Lolth felt that to change The Church of Light, it was necessary to establish an "advanced system."

Using a real "inspection system" to take on the role of the Holy Light’s "power."

At least because of the God of Light’s presence, it could ensure that every Pope and most of the senior officials in Eden Palace had little self-interest.

Of course…

Lolth herself didn’t need to actually figure out a system.

She could leave that to the Lady of Light!

After all, her goal was just to teach the Lady of Light to become a qualified reformer.

Leave this set of teaching materials… so she could grow and figure it out slowly on her own.

Even if it didn’t succeed, it was fine; the Lady of Light could cultivate her own successor!

After all, such big matters did not happen all at once…

As long as the Lady of Light’s feelings were mostly right, the God of Light should not hold it against her!

Thinking of this, Lolth stopped hesitating and attached a short note to the cover.

"Dear Junior: This book contains some theories about religion and the state, along with my insights. Please read it carefully, as it holds everything you will need to become a pope in the future and the knowledge required to help you find a way to solve the current church issues."

After Lolth finished writing, she reflected for a moment and read it over.

The sentences flowed smoothly, and the meaning was very clear.

It was the salutation that almost caused trouble.

She silently crossed out the words "dear one."

After confirming everything was correct, she used space magic to send the book into the special interrogation room of The Church of Light.

When the Lady of Light returned to the room, she would naturally notice the book’s presence.

After all, Lolth had left a very strong trace on it.

"Well… I don’t need to worry about the Lady of Light’s matters for now…"

Lolth thought this and let out a long sigh.

Every time she finished handling these piled-up tasks and could slack off…

Lolth always felt an incredible sense of ease and relief.

"After handling so many things this time, it still wasn’t time to return to The Church of Light… and there was still some time left."

At this moment, it was just dusk.

Lolth was still far from the time to return to The Church of Light.

This made Lolth very happy!

Did this mean she could continue to rest in Hillenbrand Town for a while longer?

Should she go back to the kitchen to prepare some food, take care of her carefully chosen crops and livestock, or simply find a place to lie down and waste this precious time?

Or maybe she should check on Isabella and Tina… After all, it seemed both girls had lost control of their emotions to some extent just moments ago…

Although their emotions should be stable now, she couldn’t just ignore them.

Perhaps she should go comfort them a little?

But if she went… who should she find first?

Lolth felt a bit hesitant for a moment.

Isabella, Tina, cooking, fruits and vegetables, livestock and poultry, lying down and wasting time…

Each option was quite tempting for Lolth!

Just as Lolth was in a dilemma…

She suddenly felt that the space in Hillenbrand Town seemed to shake!

A familiar feeling came over her.

It was as if something had locked onto the coordinates of Hillenbrand Town and herself.

It felt like the tidal wave of the dimension she had sensed before was about to explode…

"Hmm… what is happening?"

"Is the half-plane channel about to open again?"

"No… the realm of the Plague God had already collapsed, so that half-plane channel no longer had any purpose…"

"The End God of Evil or any other evil god was even less likely… the advanced magic circle of Hillenbrand Town had been upgraded many times by her…"

"If a cultist sneaked in, she would definitely notice…"

Lolth frowned, unsure of what was happening for a moment.

But there was one thing she could be sure of…

A half-plane was indeed approaching Hillenbrand Town!

Moreover, it was certainly not a coincidence or a natural phenomenon!
