After seeing Claire and squinting his eyes, Randolph had a slightly proud look on his face. This was the first time in these days that he was in such a happy mood!

So he opened his hands towards Claire, smiled and said, "Master Wendy's performance touched me very much. I specially invited these masters. I was thinking about combining preaching with this art, so that the majority of believers can understand our great God of Light in the form of listening to stories and watching operas!"

"Don't you, Lord Viscount, welcome them to come and perform?"

Claire also laughed and replied, "How could it be possible? With so many masters coming to Nafu City to perform, they can also drive consumption here. It's not too late for me to welcome them."

"It's just..." Claire had a look of embarrassment on his face, "It's just that Grand Theater's schedule has been fully booked by Master Wendy. Otherwise, these masters can be arranged to perform."

Randolph had long expected that Claire would say this. He never thought that Claire would let him use Grand Theater. If Claire let him use it, he would still suspect that Claire had bad intentions.

"Don't worry, we will perform outdoors. There are not enough places in Grand Theater after all."

"But the kingdom has laws and regulations. Large-scale outdoor activities need to be reported in advance, but it's okay. Bishop Randolph, just apply with me. I will definitely get the application approved as soon as possible."

Randolph rolled his eyes secretly, I am the only one who believes you. If I submit the application, you can suppress me until I die and still not approve it!

"Hey, there is no need to bother you, Lord Viscount." Randolph shook out a piece of paper from his arms and said, "This is the approval document that the Pope specially applied for from Lord Grand Judge. It is also stamped with the stamp of Grand Judge."

Grand Judge is an official who manages the kingdom's internal judicial issues. Like Sophia, he is one of King's cronies and has great power and prestige in the kingdom. As we all know, the current Grand Judge has a close relationship with the church, and his wife is a devout believer of God of Light, so Claire is not surprised that Randolph can get Grand Judge's seal.

"..."

Claire's face showed no change at all, and he said calmly, "Then I have to go to the royal capital to confirm with Lord Grand Judge. Bishop Randolph also knows about it. With so many masters going to perform at Nafu City, there will definitely be a lot of people coming to watch. I'm afraid something unexpected will happen."

"No need, there is also the seal of His Majesty King on it. I think the application form approved by His Majesty the Kingdom should be fine, right?" Randolph continued with a smile.

He had long expected that Claire would think of various ways to delay the matter. Now he is somewhat fortunate that he has dealt with Claire before. He knows what kind of person the other party is and is fully prepared, otherwise this bastard will definitely drag this matter out!

Having said this, if Claire still intends to confirm it, it would be disrespectful to King. Anyone with such a big label will have to weigh it.

"Then I think there shouldn't be any problem." Claire said lightly. He didn't expect that the church could get King's permission to preach. You must know that the royal family is the largest aristocratic head in a country, and it should be opposed to the church.

"I will send a ticket to the Viscount at that time. I hope that the Viscount will be able to come and watch."

Randolph felt so happy when he said this. When he successfully graduated from Holy See and became a bishop, he was not that excited or excited. This was his counterattack! Hahahahaha!

"Yes." Claire said calmly.

"Then I'll be waiting for you." Randolph felt like he couldn't control the corners of his mouth that turned up.

The energy of the church was indeed huge. In one afternoon, dozens of carriages brought tens of thousands of chairs into Nafu City. All the procedures were completed, and Regan couldn't find any fault even if they wanted to stop them.

Claire also asked his construction team not to help Randolph, but they still couldn't trouble them. They found a few Archmage and some mages from nowhere, and directly used magic to build a performance venue. It also looked quite simple and generous, not crude at all.

The other party's construction site was still busy, and on the high floor of the Baronial Manor, Claire could see clearly from the balcony, his eyes looking over there without focus, and his fingers constantly rubbing against each other.

After standing there for an unknown amount of time, Claire said slowly, "Okay, since you want to play with me, then I will accompany you to the end!"

"Master!" Regan opened the door and walked in, "Randolph's place is about to be built..."

Claire turned around and walked over, replying, "I know, don't worry about them, go buy some dried corn."

Regan was stunned for a moment, unable to adapt to the topic that changed so quickly, and asked, "Why do you want corn? No, how much do you want?"

"Make it into popcorn... buy a few hundred kilograms first, we won't have enough later." After saying that, Claire put a coat on himself and walked out.

He said that playing with the other party was not just about getting popcorn. It was just a small embellishment. The key was to defeat the other party in the performance and beat the other party until they could breathe.

As soon as he entered Grand Theater, Claire saw Wendy and the actors rehearsing on the stage.

After seeing Claire coming over, Wendy called to stop the rehearsal, "Everyone, take a break first!"

Then he walked towards Claire and said happily, "Lord Claire, you are here."

Claire nodded, took out a tissue and handed it over, "Wipe your sweat, I'm very tired."

"Thank you!" Wendy took the tissue and wiped the sweat on his forehead.

After the other party dried off, Claire then said, "Have you heard the news about those masters coming to Nafu City?"

Wendy nodded seriously, "I heard about it." It was precisely because she heard about it that she rehearsed so hard.

"Those are the top script writers in the kingdom, bards like you, and stronger actors. Are you afraid?"

A hint of excitement flashed in Wendy's eyes, and he said firmly, "I won't be afraid! I am very excited now! I have the opportunity to defeat these seniors with my own hands!"

"Just don't be afraid." Claire also had a smile in his eyes, "I will rehearse with you next..."

"Lord Claire also wants to perform on stage?" Wendy asked.

Claire looked over with a puzzled look, why do I seem to hear a hint of excitement in your tone?!

But he still shook his head and replied, "No, I will be responsible for the script and overall production. You can just perform with peace of mind."

"Oh." Wendy said a little disappointed.

"It may be a bit hard these days. From one performance every two days to one performance every day, is it acceptable?" Claire asked.

Wendy cheered up and said loudly, "No problem!"

"Then I wish you can successfully defeat those masters." Claire smiled and stretched out his hand.

"I will!" Wendy jumped up excitedly and high-fived Claire.

In the past few days, with the addition of Claire from Wendy, the work process has become much faster, some problems have been solved, and the progress has been very smooth.

Randolph is also busy preparing for it. The masters who were invited by Randolph at a large price began to modify the records about God of Light in the sacred book to make them more story-telling.

Some of the original stories that everyone is accustomed to have been modified into ups and downs of the plot, but the main tone has not changed. It still tells the greatness of God of Light and how God of Light redeems the world.

Everything seemed to be ready, and the plot at Wendy was about to reach its climax. Not only were the seats in Grand Theater filled with people, but any open space was filled with people. Some people even hung their bodies on the cantilever with ropes, just to watch the thrilling plot.
