The Boya Empire was stirring with ambition, and other smaller neighboring countries were also eyeing it covetously.
Having been oppressed by the Papal State for many years, and with the Holy Knight having repeatedly slaughtered the royal families and nobles of surrounding small countries, the two sides have long been sworn enemies.
With the Holy Knight wiped out in one wave, coupled with a significant drop in harvests and harsh conditions this year, there is no doubt that this is the best time to launch a war.
Following the signing of defensive and offensive alliance treaties between the Boya Empire and other nations, a sense of unease began to spread within the Papal State.
Perhaps the lower-class merchants, believing themselves to be noble and incomparably brave, still maintain confidence in the gradually changing situation. However, within the Holy See, the true high-ranking officials of Papal State Papal State have already begun to feel deeply worried.
Holy See.
In the Holy See's private garden, on the shore of the lake, stands a pristine little pavilion with a stove built of pure white jade.
The newly appointed Pope Adam is so engrossed in the Eye of Holiness that the five cardinals of the Holy See have much free time. So they gathered here to express their sorrow and lament over the impending peril of the Papal State.
Five cardinals sat casually inside the pavilion, while several beautiful women danced gracefully in the middle of the pavilion. Each of them held a delicate nun in a half-revealing nun's habit in his arms. The dishes on the table were luxurious, and even the wine glasses were made from ocean crystals from the deep sea!
" The Boya Empire is eyeing our Holy Kingdom with predatory intent, determined to destroy our Holy Kingdom's rule and the foundation of our Holy Church. At this critical juncture, His Majesty Adam is still infatuated with his damned Eye of Holiness; he is truly foolish and wicked!"
His ingenious and cunning schemes may very well become the cause of the destruction of our Holy Church!
A cardinal in a cardinal robe sighed deeply, his face full of sorrow and grief, worrying about the future of the Papal State, yet he didn't forget to take a few deep breaths from the nun.
"Alas, the old Pope devoted himself wholeheartedly to governing the country, working tirelessly and exhausting his heart and soul. Through fifty years of arduous efforts, he finally brought our Holy Kingdom to prosperity, reaching its greatest glory in history!"
"But this new pope is truly incompetent and may ruin the supreme glory of our Papal State!" Another cardinal spoke grandly, his words filled with concern for the country and its people, and a sense of shame for his ancestors, but his face showed no sorrow. Instead, his eyes were fixed on the beautiful woman dancing in the pavilion.
"Alas! His Majesty Adam is so incompetent and tyrannical that we have no way to serve our country or our religion!" Another cardinal smashed his exquisite wine glass on the ground, seemingly overwhelmed with grief, but not wanting to show it to others. So he could only bow his head and bury his tears of love for the religion in the nun's soft bosom for comfort.
The pavilion was filled with lamentations. One might think that the five cardinals had unfulfilled ambitions, but in reality, although their positions were lofty, they mainly controlled various Church rituals. Whether it was military campaigns, foreign policy, or even internal control, it had nothing to do with them.
He was even less capable than the Minister of Rites.
However, they are indeed worthy of being cardinals, in charge of priesthood and etiquette; at the very least, their sexual orientation is normal.
However, what they said wasn't wrong. The new Pope, His Holiness Adam, was indeed currently captivated by the Eye of Holiness and by that ethereal doctrine of God.
Beneath the Holy See, the Eye of Holiness.
Compared to the Eye of Holiness 2 years ago, the research site of the Eye of Holiness has now expanded significantly. To ensure its safety, His Majesty Adam has even sent fifty Holy Knight to guard various locations.
The cage originally used to imprison the Werewolf infants has now been expanded to the size of a cell. However, it is still a cage, and iron nails have even been added around the perimeter to prevent the Werewolf inside from escaping.
His Holiness Adam, still dressed in his golden papal robes, stood expressionless before the cage where the Werewolf were imprisoned, watching the two Werewolf reproduce inside.
That's right, in just two years, that Werewolf baby has grown into an adult!
What an terrifying rate of growth!
This Werewolf infant seems to retain the growth characteristics of Werewolf, with an extremely short infancy and an extremely long maturity period.
After two years of development, its human physique is already like that of a twenty-year-old man, and its Werewolf physique has reached its peak.
This terrifying rate of growth meant that even the Eye of Holiness could not fully nurture it. Before human knowledge and wisdom could be instilled into the wolf child's head, its Werewolf nature had already taken over and matured.
This has resulted in the wolf child, who has grown into adulthood, still lacking much human intelligence and thought.
However, the knowledge imparted by the Eye of Holiness still had some effect; at the very least, the Werewolf ' wildness was greatly reduced, making them far more obedient and loyal than ordinary Werewolf that had been domesticated.
But this still doesn't seem to be the limit for this mutated Werewolf. Its humanoid mind, which is indistinguishable from a human's after it transforms into human form, allows it to still be instilled with human knowledge, thereby gaining intellectual growth.
Perhaps if the Eye of Holiness continues to nurture it for several years, it might truly awaken the Werewolf's intelligence, making it the first half-human werewolf creature in the history of this continent to possess human-like thoughts.
With their powerful physique and intellect that is not much different from humans, His Majesty Adam believed that these Werewolf would be another powerful tool to consolidate the Church's rule, following the Holy Knight!
However, as the first truly mutated Werewolf, its mission was not to mature its thinking or grow itself, but to propagate the werewolf race and produce more humanoid Werewolf!
To put it bluntly, having only one of these is simply too precious; otherwise, it would be meaningless without breeding new ones.
Therefore, His Majesty Adam dispatched knights to capture Werewolf, imprison them in cages, and pair them with the wolf children to reproduce.
"Roar!" The Werewolf in the cage let out a few stinging howls.
The swift movements of the male Werewolf gradually ceased, and then he stood up.
This mutated Werewolf was given the holy name William by His Majesty Adam!
As soon as William finished, Church knights in heavy armor entered the cage, put heavy shackles on the exhausted Werewolf after mating, and then led her out of the cage by the chain around her neck.
Among them, the Werewolf William was extremely obedient and did not move at all.
As this Werewolf was led away by the Church knight, another Werewolf, now in chains, was brought in.
However, His Majesty Adam gently waved his hand, bringing the reproduction process to a halt.
"Your Majesty!" The Eye of Holiness scholar in charge of Werewolf reproduction trotted over, bowing his head to greet His Majesty Adam.
"Humanoid Werewolf are a gift from God, an opportunity for Church reform. We should not restrict all possibilities with rules! Since William can mate with Werewolf, why can't he mate with a woman when he becomes human? There might even be some unexpected surprises!" His Majesty Adam looked coldly at William, who was imprisoned in a cage.
It was incredibly obedient, and had even shed its wolf skin, transforming into a handsome young man who was now looking at His Majesty Adam outside the cage with innocent and affectionate eyes.
After all, His Majesty Adam had visited him the most times, and William had already memorized His Majesty Adam's aura.
However, because Werewolf possess animal instincts that are far stronger than those of humans, it is somewhat difficult for them to change their thinking; their bestial nature far outweighs their human nature.
Therefore, His Majesty Adam felt that perhaps mating with women to produce Werewolf with more complete humanity would be more suitable for the Church's training.
Upon hearing His Majesty Adam's words, the scholar was filled with admiration.
Although he had this idea for a long time, having His Holiness the Pope bring it up undoubtedly made both sides more satisfied.
"Yes, Your Majesty Adam!"
