The last time he had come here, he had used the identity of "Paul's follower" and, through a charade of mutual deception, become a Holy Light Guardian Knight.

"Your Excellency Arthur?" Eudora's voice brought Chen Rui back to his senses.
"Your Excellency Eudora." Chen Rui showed an apologetic expression. "Just now, I was shaken by the imposing aura radiating from Lord Raphael's statue and lost my composure for a moment. Please forgive my discourtesy."
"Lord Raphael's glory shines upon the entirety of Peak of Holy Favor. Everywhere, one can feel that powerful favor, so close to divinity." At the mention of Raphael's name, Eudora naturally did not dare be negligent. "There is no need for Your Excellency to be so reserved. You are the Holy Son personally chosen by Lord Raphael, and you possess an unimaginable ancient inheritance. Becoming the next Pope is merely a matter of time. In the future, the radiance of Peak of Holy Favor will also shine ever more brilliantly because of Your Excellency's presence."
"Your Excellency Eudora overpraises me. I will need much guidance from you in the future." Chen Rui gave Eudora a slight bow, a rather formal gesture of respect.
