Chương 252: The situation really took a sharp turn for the worse!

"Oh ho ho? Oh ho!"

Roland looked completely bewildered, raised her hand to touch her throat, and found it slippery.

She just praised the skill given by the Goddess of Radiance, saying it had no side effects.

Now look what's happened! They've even forgotten how to speak, and their voice pack is now synchronized with that of the Goddess of Light!

The Sisters of Thorn also hurriedly got up from the ground, and Theresa ran straight to Roland's side.

"Lady Roland, are you alright?!"

Roland could only respond with a wry smile.

"Oh ho ho ho".

Theresa couldn't understand at all, and her eyes were filled with worry.

"Lady Roland, why do you make such a sound? It's like a happy little succubus from Pink Harbor, it makes people... feel embarrassed."

As she spoke, the petite nun blushed slightly and looked away.

Roland was so angry she gritted her teeth.

You nun, why are you so shy?

It's all your fault for that "Hoozi Goddess" who keeps making "Hoo oh ho" noises all day long. Now she's infected this pure and innocent nun!

hateful!

Feeling the strange looks from the Sisters of Thorn, she became even angrier and immediately cursed.

"Oh my god~~~~!"

The high-pitched voice was like a little succubus taking flight, melodious and graceful, echoing within the garden's protective barrier.

It sounds like drilling into groundwater or an airplane leaking oil after taking off.

Everyone present, including Roland, turned bright red.

Fortunately, this problem was only caused by the large difference in strength between Roland and the Goddess of Light, which resulted in a slight impact on her mental power.

After about ten minutes, Roland regained her ability to speak normally.

"Cough cough cough, it's all over now."

"The Goddess is doing very well, and the divine kingdom is stable. You don't need to worry."

"As for Sister Serafie, she should be free by now, but she won't be able to come back for a while."

The Sisters of Thorns were deeply moved upon hearing this.

Theresa and her sisters took a half step back, bent their knees, and were about to kowtow to Roland in a grand gesture of respect.

Roland quickly reached out to stop them.

"There's no need for such a grand gesture. As long as you don't go and get yourselves killed, you can still be of help to me if you stay in the capital."

Roland was telling the truth. Two high-level magic users and four mid-level magic users, even if they didn't show their faces, would be a powerful asset in the medical field.

Theresa stopped what she was doing and looked at Roland with reverence.

"Lady Roland, from now on we will obey your orders unconditionally. Whatever you ask us to do, we are willing."

Roland was very satisfied with Theresa's statement.

The most urgent task now is to hide these nuns and announce to the outside world that Sister Thorn has fled to escape punishment, and to try to distance herself from Roland.

This was to prepare for the possible arrival of church overseers after Seraf's apostasy.

As for where to hide, Roland already had a plan.

"Theresa, you all take off your nun's robes and head to Pink Harbor to work!"

Roland's thunderous statement left the Sisters of Thorn Sin speechless.

"Huh? Pink Harbor?"

"Lady Roland, are you joking?"

The youngest nun gasped, unable to resist squeezing her plump legs together and fidgeting restlessly.

Roland looked at her reaction strangely and nodded.

"Of course, you'll go to the succubi and pretend to be administrators, handling paperwork. The people at headquarters will never guess that you nuns would join Pink Harbor."

The little nun was taken aback, then blushed and nodded hesitantly.

"So it was all an act."

"Yeah, what else did you think it was?"

Roland clapped her hands and continued looking at Theresa.

"Alright, now we need to wipe all traces of this place clean. The goddess statue can't be kept either; pack it all up and destroy it."

"We absolutely cannot allow the headquarters' on-site inspection team to discover even the slightest clue!"

……

Time quickly passed to early June, and news of Seraf's apostasy spread throughout the streets and alleys, causing an uproar in the public sphere.

The Church of Light throughout the capital city came to a standstill, ordered to cease all activities, awaiting the arrival of the headquarters' inspection team for investigation.

As Seraf's most beloved, even doted-on, High Sister Roland found herself in an extremely awkward situation.

Besides the bishop who had a business relationship with Roland and joined the Old Port District Business Alliance, he also maintained private communication and transactions.

The rest of the church members, from the bishop down to the novice nuns, all consciously avoided Roland.

Apostates and their associates.

In this feudal era where the church was prevalent, these two words were the biggest and heaviest labels. Once they were on you, it was not only difficult to remove them, but even to turn them over.

Any church member who still wanted to advance their career would run away as fast as a mouse seeing a cat when they saw Roland.

Roland is in a difficult situation.

As Roland's arch-rival, Tiger Head Bizan led the establishment of the Seven Points Alliance, which made everyone laugh so hard they almost lost their teeth.

The spice merchants, in particular, were absolutely thrilled.

In the private room that opened at seven o'clock, the frivolous man, representing the spice merchant alliance, had a fawning expression on his face as he kept toasting Bizan with a wine glass.

"Bishop Bizan... oh no, Lord Bizan!"

"Oh dear, please allow me to offer you a toast! This time, we are truly fortunate to have your brilliant strategy, Lord Bizan!"

"The expansion of trade routes by the Old Port District Commercial Alliance has been halted by nearly 80% due to Roland's suspected apostasy, and most nobles have stopped negotiations with the Commercial Alliance."

"We, the spice merchants' alliance, can finally breathe a sigh of relief!"

The other members of the Seven Points Alliance were also greatly encouraged, and several high-ranking nobles and magic academy professors couldn't help but show their admiration.

"Alas, the Church of Vulcan is truly unfathomable."

"They were able to obtain information in advance about the secret of Saintess Seraphim's apostasy, and may even have been involved in it."

"With the addition of the groundbreaking natural treasure of sublimation crystals, the development of the Church of Vulcan is unstoppable. In comparison, the Church of Light is at a disadvantage."

The frivolous man listened to the sighs of the others in the arena and felt fortunate to have joined Tiger Man Bizan's Seven Point Alliance.

It seems I've boarded an invincible warship that can't be defeated!

Thinking this, the frivolous man's face turned red from the combined effects of excitement and alcohol, and he asked the question impatiently.

"Lord Bizan, can we now begin implementing the plan to dismantle the Roland Group?"

"Rumors about the Roland fox clan's bloodline have spread throughout the entire capital during this period."

"In the Noble Council, the members we've courted have also expressed great interest in the technology of the Roland Group and collectively proposed testing for Roland bloodlines."

"What do you think of the Church of Vulcan...?"

The frivolous man didn't finish his sentence, but waited for a thumbs-up.

Bizan put down his wine glass, withdrew his hand from the maid's clothes beside him, and revealed a smug smile.

During this period, although Roland has caused us a lot of trouble and losses.

But in the end, it was Tiger Man who won.

Roland's influence was completely suppressed, and she became a lonely figure whom everyone avoided in the capital.

He was really looking forward to seeing how wonderful and alluring Roland's humiliated expression would be after she admitted defeat!

"Alright, alright, the Church of Vulcan will provide the testing equipment."

"Roland, from this day forward, is a traitor to the Fox Clan of the Church of Fire. Disguised as a noblewoman, infiltrating the Church of Light, and now betraying the faith once more—such a villain should be dealt with by us!"
