Elvis rode the carriage all the way to Grand Cathedral in the city center.
This church looks very new from the outside. In order to match the growing influence of the Corner Bay League, the church spent a huge amount of money to build this magnificent building next to the central square in Niceburg.
Compared with the Old Sect church located in the east district of the city, in addition to being more gorgeous, this new church occupies a wider area and is also taller. Its tallest building, the bell tower, is even taller than the government building Golden Tower used for the office of the Alliance Council. In order to make it easier for people to get up and down, the bell tower also has a hanging basket.
It won't be long before Niceburg's iconic building will change from Golden Tower to this Grand Cathedral.
Elvis got off the carriage and came to the door of the church, where he found a reward notice posted nearby for clues to Duchess Finnie.
He shook his head mockingly.
"Humph! You wouldn't have thought that the person you spent so much effort searching for is in this church in the city center."
He continued to walk into the cathedral, and the monks and believers he met along the way saluted him one after another, while Elvis returned the salute one by one, showing no trace of the arrogance he had in the embassy just now.
An emerald-green bird flew up from his carriage. It circled around the door of the sitting hall, as if hesitating whether to fly in through the door.
It turned to the side of the cathedral and found that the windows on the wall were all open. Just when it was about to pick a window and fly in, Elvis walked out from a small door next to it.
He turned around and walked towards the courtyard behind the church.
The bird turned around and flew towards the courtyard behind.
Elvis Bishop seemed to be in a good mood. He walked briskly into the courtyard. The layout was quite elegant, with flowers and plants planted all over the ground. It was a place for the clergy in the church to take a walk after meals and cultivate their body and mind.
The bishop soon found the person he was looking for. A man also dressed in clerical clothing was feeding the birds in the courtyard. He was holding a small box full of grains in his hand.
A large group of birds of various colors surrounded him, chirping and pecking at the grains he scattered on the ground from time to time.
Elvis said with a smile, "Sir Anthony, I can't find you inside, so I guess you are most likely feeding the birds here again."
The other person didn't look back, he was still looking at the birds all over the ground. Strangely enough, these birds were not afraid of him.
"What's Grand Duchess's reaction?"
"Hmph! He said he wanted to think about it, and I gave him a deadline. If she doesn't agree to our terms by this time tomorrow, her family will be ruined."
"Oh~ you really don't care about her at all. I heard that Princess Helen is a well-known beauty in Jiaowan."
Elvis frowned, such frivolous words should not come from a clergyman.
But the other party was a special envoy from the Holy City, and he didn't want to stalemate the relationship.
"For the glory of my Lord, I will find a way to overcome every difficulty in my path, both physical and spiritual."
The man he called Anthony turned around and said in an admiring tone, "You are truly worthy of being Lord Elvis. With a pious and capable bishop like you sitting in Cape Bay, the glory of our Lord will surely shine on everyone here."
Elvis puffed up his chest and accepted the compliment calmly, but he still had to be modest.
"No, no, if it weren't for the information brought by Mr. Anthony, I would still be in the dark about the Alliance Council's little moves. I'm ashamed to say that they were making little moves right under my nose, and I didn't even notice it."
"Alas~" Anthony sighed.
Elvis was a little confused, "Why do you sigh?"
Anthony looked sad and angry.
"I'm sighing. There are devout servants of God like you in this place who are dedicated to spreading the glory of the Lord, but there are actually a lot of people in the Holy City who are holding back."
"Are you... holding back? What do you mean?"
"It's hard to explain in words!" Anthony's expression seemed to be defending Elvis.
"Pope will always have such villains around you. They are critical of Witch Hunt initiated by Jiaowan and always accuse you of bringing unnecessary trouble to Church."
Elvis's face quickly showed an expression of hatred.
"Shameful traitors! Shameful heretics! They should all be tied to the stake and burned alive!"
In Elvis's heart, people labeled with these two labels are more hateful than heretics and unbelievers. These guys will stab you in the back without knowing anything.
Anthony added fuel to the fire, "What's more, some clergy proposed to 'rehabilitate' the wizards. The reason is that there is no record on Holy Book that every wizard is evil..."
"Father in Heaven! O Lord Almighty!"
Elvis shouted in horror, his whole body began to tremble because he was extremely angry.
The bishop pointed a finger at Anthony.
"You... what have you guys been doing all day? Why do you allow such nonsense people to stay in the Holy City? Why do you allow them to live in the world?"
Seeing that the bishop was about to lose his balance, Anthony immediately stepped forward to support him.
"Lord Elvis, we are also powerless. The situation in the Holy City... how should I put it, is a bit complicated, especially the Ming Li Council who engages in some messy heresies every day, and the current Pope is also a tolerant person..."
"Hmph!"
Elvis snorted coldly, not sure whether he was dissatisfied with the heretics in the Holy City or Pope.
Anthony whispered in his ear, "We are now eagerly looking forward to an extremely pious saint coming to the Holy City to preside over the overall situation!"
Elvis heard something in the other party's words, and he looked at Anthony with an inquiring gaze.
Anthony smiled and whispered, "Horn Bay Archbishop is old and will soon have to arrange a successor. Has Master Elvis ever had any thoughts in this regard?"
"I..."
Elvis suddenly became a little stuttering.
"If I can better serve Lord of Light, of course I will work tirelessly."
"Then it will be hard work, Lord Elvis. To tell you the truth, this time I came here to shoulder the task of secretly inspecting the bishops from various corners of the corner, and report the conduct of all the Lords to the Holy Capital Headquarters. Therefore, I can still say something about the personnel arrangements in this area."
This was more than just a few words, Elvis's heart suddenly exploded.
"Your Excellency Anthony... No, Lord Anthony, you..."
Anthony waved his hand.
"Don't do any unnecessary things. I just like the piety in your heart! Please do your best within the scope of your current responsibilities."
"I swear!" Elvis looked solemn and raised his right hand.
"I will spread the glory of the Lord into the hearts of every Jiaowan person, and I will eradicate all the filth in Jiaowan!"
