Afterward, Anvis found the duke and discussed matters concerning the "Holy Relic."
Most of the Old God's Blood in the Holy Grail had been consumed by the previous burning, but a small amount, less than half a cup's worth, still remained at the bottom.
After discussing it with the duke, the two ultimately decided to give the empty Holy Grail, still tainted with the Old God's aura, to the bishop so he could take it back and report his success.
Yanile would claim that he had fought the High Priest, who had used the Holy Relic as a core and burned the blood within it to temporarily awaken a divine Avatar, explaining where the blood in the Holy Grail had gone.
The advantage of this was that Yanile could use this achievement to further raise his standing within the Church. Moreover, with the key item already secured, the Church would no longer care about this island.
The downside was that, according to the bishop's memories, being "bathed in the glory of the gods" after bringing back the Old God's Blood might expose the Twisted Seed.
However, as one of the Church's elite talents, even if he failed this time, Yanile would sooner or later come into contact with the Church's inner circle and be "bathed in the glory of the gods."
Considering this, it was better to use this opportunity to further probe the Church's upper echelons.
After the Old Days Secret Scripture absorbed the Seal, the Twisted Seed's dormant and activated states had merged into one, and it had also gained the ability to be controlled remotely.
If necessary, Anvis could even use the power of the Old Days Secret Scripture to briefly descend with his will and control Yanile into causing a major disturbance.
There was no loss
