Volume 1 Chapter 639
by post_apiChapter 639: Teaching
After throwing the red-robed bishop, whose mind only echoed with his own voice, back into his dungeon room, Lolth took Coristo and left the deepest part of the dungeon.
He was not a guy worthy of sympathy—among the captured trash, he was the lowest of the low.
Just the fact that he allied with the Hell Demon God made it impossible for Lolth to forgive him.
Making a deal with the Hell Demon God was not something you could achieve just by spending money…
That group of hellish turtles only wanted living souls.
In fact, the Director of the Heretic Tribunal caught this bishop because he was secretly gathering war captives, slaves, and vagrants from the Holy Lieto Empire.
However, the Director of the Heretic Tribunal did not know what this guy was doing by capturing these people.
But Lolth was very clear…
The power of Hell mixed with the power of the God of Light was very obvious to her.
It was as clear as ink on white paper.
She was very familiar with both types of power.
So, she also understood very well how deep the sins of this self-righteous cardinal were…
The sins he carried were incredibly heavy.
Just for his own interests, he could even betray his own followers.
The reason Lolth spared his life was simply because he was still "useful"!
Otherwise, if she had just killed him, Lolth would not have wasted a bit of magic on this damn guy.
But even so, Lolth did not give him an easy way out.
She could choose a thousand ways to send a message to the Hell Demon God through this guy, but she chose the one that would harm him the most.
To occupy his soul and brain all with a single voice.
The current cardinal in red had completely lost his sense of self and ability to think; he was as good as dead.
And it was precisely because of this that even Lolth could not hold back and was heavy-handed; he was a completely morally corrupted and lost individual.
Before he was caught, he could still use the power of Holy Light.
This was truly hilarious!
For the second time, Lolth felt unhappy with the lazy dog of a God of Light who slept all day.
She really wanted to jump straight into the Land of Light, give Him a wake-up slap, and show Him the mess that the main plane, which He was responsible for, had become!
If I were a god, I would never let things get this bad!
Even if you slacked off or took a long nap, you still needed to handle your responsibilities!
Lolth let out a long sigh, feeling very helpless.
"Damn it, god!"
She cursed very indignantly.
However, that was as far as her cursing would go.
Lolth also understood that saying the God of Light was slacking off while he was sleeping was a bit unfair.
After all, that God of Light was seeking ways to "fight against the End of Days."
Moreover, when He looks for Himself, it cannot be said that this God of Light has ignored His kingdom.
Clearly, this is a sign that He is trying to take charge.
But this method is just bringing Himself to clean up this mess!
This will definitely make Lolth feel like, "Why should I have to do this?"
"Sigh, never mind, at least it wasn’t for nothing…"
She let out a long sigh.
Coristo, who was listening to Lolth’s blasphemous words, finally snapped back to reality.
Suddenly, she seemed to realize something…
That is, her "aunt" really might have some issues.
At first in the dungeon, Coristo heard Lolth call herself the "Chief Interrogator" of the Demon Army…
Naive Coristo thought that Lolth might be using some special interrogation techniques to break the other person’s mental defenses.
But then everything that happened next…
Whether it was the skilled magic spells or the way she spoke to the Hell Demon God.
Including her disrespectful words towards the God of Light just now.
Made Coristo feel a little suspicious!
At least, these hinted at one thing…
That her dear aunt’s faith was not very sincere!
She looked at Lolth, and after some hesitation, finally spoke up.
"Master Nai… what is going on here?"
As she said this, a look of doubt crossed her eyes.
Lolth looked at the little girl’s confused expression and gently smiled, shaking her head.
She did not say those things because she forgot about Coristo.
On the contrary, she brought Coristo here so the little girl could see these things.
"Coristo, what do you think ‘faith’ is?"
She asked Coristo.
Before Coristo could answer, Lolth continued speaking.
"Compared to me, the Cardinal from earlier is definitely more devout to the God of Light."
"The method I used is, of course, how to use the Holy Light without relying on ‘faith.’"
"He is the most orthodox in using faith to communicate with the Holy Light…"
"But, Coristo… before you came, you also looked at his file."
"Who do you think is the just one among us?"
Lolth said this, and Coristo quickly replied, "Of course, it’s you!"
Lolth shook her head again.
"Don’t rush to conclusions."
"What if… I really am the interrogator of the Demon Army?"
As Lolth said this, she looked at Coristo.
Coristo was stunned.
After a long silence, she finally spoke.
"I think it is still Master Nai."
"Judgment does not deceive…"
"Even if Master Nai, you really are the Chief Interrogator of the Demon Army, it doesn’t seem like you want to overthrow The Church of Light."
"Perhaps, Master Nai, you really do want to destroy The Church of Light… but what you want to destroy seems more like the ‘status quo’."
"You are right, Master Nai… The Holy Light is a trustworthy power, but it is not a standard to judge whether someone is good or bad."
"Not only can we fool it, some people can also fool themselves, and then fool it."
As Coristo said this, she provided Lolth’s own answer.
Lolth looked at her and smiled meaningfully.
"Keeping your own judgment is a good thing."
"This is a necessary quality for a ‘wise ruler’… but be careful not to become too bossy."
"As for Holy Light, your understanding has indeed deepened."
As she said this, she extended her finger.
"But it’s still not enough."
A flickering force of Holy Light appeared and vanished in an instant.
Coristo was stunned.
This was not the first time she had seen Lolth use the power of Holy Light.
But…
Although the two of them had left the deepest part of the dungeon,
They were still in the underground area of the Heretic Tribunal, where the Holy Light was forbidden.
"What is… what is happening?"
She couldn’t help but ask.
"I will tell you when you can really use the power of the Holy Light to create the spell!"
Lolth smiled as she walked upward.
"Oh—by the way! Coristo!"
"Let me remind you one more thing… whether it’s a wicked companion or a good enemy…"
"Do not feel pity."
"If I am truly not a person of The Church of Light, don’t let my actions change your judgment."
"Do you understand?"
