The Demon King is unfathomable

Chapter 602 The Return of the Saintess
The warm winter sun caressed the square in front of the Governor's Mansion.

As a black carriage without any family crest or insignia approached, the guards on duty at the gate instinctively tightened their grip on their Roxay 1053 rifles.

The man driving the carriage was wearing a thick robe, and his face was completely covered by a low hood. No matter how you looked at him, he didn't seem to be a local.

He doesn't seem like a good person at all.

The two exchanged glances, and one of the guards stepped forward and called out to the stopped carriage.

"Stop! Who are you? Who invited you?"

The carriage came to a stop by the door.

Sarah did not answer, but simply removed her hood, revealing a cool face and smooth black hair, before looking towards the governor's mansion.

Upon seeing the cat ears, which symbolized unclean blood, the guard standing at the door paused slightly. Just as he was about to continue questioning them, steady footsteps came from behind the two.

"This is my guest in the car, please let her in."

The two guards turned around and saw Prince Colin standing at the entrance of the Governor's Palace.

Her slightly curly, dark purple hair swayed gently in the cold wind, and her deep purple eyes held a gentle yet dignified smile.

"Your Highness." The two guards immediately bowed their heads, their wariness instantly turning into awe, and put away their rifles, standing back on either side of the gate.

The entire city of Twilight City recognized this prince from the Empire, and it was said that at least half of Thunder City's miracles were due to his glory.

The Holy Light Council of the Twilight Province also wanted to share in this glory, so Elaric specifically instructed the guards of the Governor's Mansion to do their utmost to cooperate with whatever request His Highness the Prince made.

Luo Yan nodded to the two guards, then looked at Sarah sitting in the carriage.

"Thanks for your hard work."

A familiar voice drifted into her ears, and a gentle smile immediately appeared on that cool face. She nodded slightly as she leaned forward.

"I have successfully completed my mission, Your Highness."

Luo Yan nodded with a smile.

"It's windy outside, come inside and talk."

……

The carriage entered the Governor's Mansion and stopped near the side hall.

Sarah nimbly jumped off the carriage, then naturally walked to the back and opened the carriage door.

Immediately after, a young woman dressed in a simple nun's robe stepped down from the carriage.

She wore a wreath of olive branches on her head, and her long, golden hair, like ears of wheat, flowed smoothly over her shoulders. Her white silk scarf looked like a cloud covering a wheat field.

Despite wearing the most unassuming clothes, her serene face, brimming with the beauty of life, made her seem to glow.

The moment she saw Luo Yan, a smile immediately bloomed on her serene face, and undisguised longing and devotion flowed in her lake-like eyes.

"Your Highness." Karen walked up to Luo Yan, clasped her hands in front of her, and bowed slightly, performing an impeccable greeting.

Looking at the saintess he had created with his own hands, Luo Yan smiled gently.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

It's clear that Karen has grown a lot during this time.

Whether it's experience or other aspects.

“It has indeed been a long time,” Karen blinked gently. “I remember the last time we parted was also in winter, and also in Twilight City.”

"I didn't expect you to still remember."

“Of course,” Karen said with a serene smile, her right hand pressed against her chest. “Every second I spend with you is the most precious treasure to me… Every day since I left your side, I have been praying for our reunion today.”

Sarah glanced at Karen's retreating figure with some surprise. When did this girl become so eloquent?
This was... beyond her expectations.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the three of them entered the Governor's Mansion together, walked through a marble-paved corridor, and arrived at a warm and cozy side hall.

The flames in the fireplace burned slowly.

Bored because her older brother was temporarily away, Vivian was sprawled on the velvet sofa, comfortably flipping through a novel that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. Her smooth purple hair cascaded over her shoulders, and her legs were tucked behind her like a cat wagging its white tail.

When she heard footsteps behind her, a hint of smugness appeared on her lips, but her brows quickly furrowed.

Then, she sat up from the sofa and fixed her gaze on the woman behind her brother.

The person was also dressed in a nun's habit and possessed an enviable beauty. However, the difference was that the person exuded an innate sense of holiness, as if they had stepped right out of a mural in the Twilight City Cathedral.

For Vivian, a vampire, this aura made her instinctively uncomfortable, and her ruby-like eyes narrowed.

"Brother, who is this woman? When did she appear in your life? Why haven't I heard of Vivian?"

The raw hostility in his eyes almost overflowed.

"This is Karen."

Ignoring the unfounded jealousy, Luo Yan gave a brief introduction and then sat down on a nearby sofa.

Vivian was clearly not satisfied with this concise answer and continued to stare intently at the "intruder" who had trespassed into her territory.

Facing the menacing little tiger, Karen stepped forward, giving a gentle yet measured smile and a slight nod.

"Hello, you must be Miss Vivian Colin?"

Vivian raised her chin slightly.

"It's down!"

“My name is Karen.” Her gaze was gentle and frank, not avoiding Vivian’s scrutinizing eyes, and she continued in a gentle voice, “I’ve heard your story.”

Vivian gave a soft snort, and instead of loosening her arms that were wrapped around her chest, she crossed them even tighter.

"Oh? Where did you hear that?"

"Of course, it's His Highness Colin's place."

Karen smiled and said softly.

“Back in Sparrowwood Castle, Prince Colin often mentioned your name. Ever since then, I’ve been wondering what kind of girl could make Prince Colin so unforgettable… I wish I could meet her.”

This simple line of dialogue is almost like magic, with an immediate and remarkable effect.

A slight crack appeared in the icy hostility on Vivian's face. Although she maintained her composure, her eyes involuntarily turned towards Karen.

"……real?"

“Of course,” Karen continued with a smile, “He said you are a smart, kind, gentle, and brave girl… but he was too embarrassed to tell you, for fear that you would become arrogant.”

"hey-hey……"

A blush crept onto Vivian's cheeks, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up, which she quickly suppressed.

"Did my elder brother really say that about me?"

As she spoke, she would occasionally glance in Luo Yan's direction, her ruby ​​eyes filled with anticipation.

Luo Yan glanced at Karen with slight surprise, while the latter winked playfully at him—

Please, Your Highness, cooperate with me.

Clearly, Luo Yan never said those things; at most, he only told Karen that he had a younger sister named Vivian.

The rest of the parts are her own derivative works.

However, her tone and expression were extremely natural when she spoke, and even the curve of her lips was perfectly controlled, as if she really had heard these words from him.

Luo Yan couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

She truly deserves to be the saintess I personally trained.

In terms of blatantly lying, they are just as good as I am.

Do not--

It should be said that the student has surpassed the teacher.

He didn't expose Karen's well-intentioned lie, but simply watched her improvise with interest, waiting for things to develop in a positive direction.

His silence was seen by Vivian as tacit agreement, and the last trace of frost on her face instantly crumbled.

"Kukuku... It's not as exaggerated as my elder brother said, although what my elder brother said is true!"

Although she was still being modest, the wide grin that almost reached her ears betrayed Vivian's true feelings.

This human is quite good at talking!
She wished she could give her the chocolates she had in her pocket!

"My Lord Demon King, aren't you afraid Vivian will drift away again this time?" Youyou, floating beside Luo Yan, muttered under her breath.

Luo Yan poured himself a cup of black tea and calmly answered in his heart.

'That being said, we can't always put her down. Besides, some things are just right to be said through Karen.'

"Is there any difference between this and you saying it to me personally?"

'That's a huge difference.'

It must be said that Karen is an extremely intelligent woman.

She had seemed to be observing Vivian's expression the whole time, but in reality, her eyes had never left his face.

Those words may seem to be made up by her, but they may also be things she read aloud.

What a terrible woman.

"Actually, you dote on Vivian quite a bit, don't you?" Youyou said with a sly smile.

No.

"You're being unreasonable again!"

'Okay, you can shut up now.'

"Waaah..."

With this perfect opening, Karen quickly became friends with Vivian.

In just a few minutes, the two went from being complete strangers to being like best friends who had known each other for years.

Vivian warmly pulled Karen to sit beside her, urging her to tell more: "What else? What else? What other good things did your brother say about Vivian?"

Kukuku!
I never expected the Demon King to be such a tsundere!

It's unbelievable!
Facing the eager Vivian, Karen smiled and satisfied her vanity, vividly recounting many stories from her time in Sparrowwood Territory.

but--

She didn't presumptuously praise the little guy to the skies on behalf of the Demon King; instead, she focused on how the Demon King used the identity of the Divine Child to save civilians from dire straits, how he outwitted and outmaneuvered the Chosen Ones of Chaos, and how he dealt with the Tribunal from the Holy City.

Vivian's eyes lit up as she listened to these stories.

Actually, compared to the Demon King's repetitive boasting, deep down she really wanted to hear the legend of her brother's invincibility.

"...Speaking of which, Your Highness even fooled me back then. I always thought he was really Saint Sith's child. I never imagined he was actually His Majesty the Demon King."

"Kukuku, how is that possible? If he is Saint Sith's child, then wouldn't Vivian also be Saint Sith's child?"

"That's true."

"You humans are really interesting. Aren't you afraid at all when you find out we're demons?" Vivian said, flashing her fangs.

The gleaming fangs looked mysterious and adorable in the firelight of the fireplace, and Karen couldn't help but smile and say.

"Perhaps... it's because I've seen too many demons in human skin. In my eyes, you are just people living on another land, no different from us in essence."

"Interesting, human. I'm growing to like you more and more! If you ever go to Hell and anyone bullies you, just say Lady Vivian's name!"

“Thank you, it’s an honor to receive your affirmation.” Karen nodded slightly, then her gaze fell on Vivian’s nun’s habit, and the topic naturally shifted, “Speaking of which, Miss Vivian, your nun’s habit is truly impressive… Was it your idea?”

Her gaze was filled with pure admiration.

Vivian's nun's habit was indeed unique.

The original loose and bulky robe was changed into a fitted waistband that accentuated the girl's beautiful curves. The hem, which used to hang heavily to the ground, was now lightly draped to the ankles, making it look lively and agile without appearing frivolous.

"You have good taste!"

Vivian stood up proudly, twirled in front of Karen, and her skirt spread out like a black and white flower.

"The idea was definitely my own! But the clothes were made by Sherry!"

"Sherlock?"

“She’s my maid! She’s a vampire too.”

Karen looked surprised.

Divine Child, just how many vampires have come to this surface? Why were there none before?

Vivian continued speaking rapidly.

"...My old nun's habit was so annoying, dragging on the ground. I would always step on the hem if I ran even a little fast! So Sherry shortened it for me, and now I can run as fast as I want without tearing the hem!"

Karen stroked her delicate chin, nodded thoughtfully, and softly praised, "This is indeed an extremely ingenious design, which retains reverence for the gods while giving it practical flexibility... If it's convenient, Miss Vivian, could you give me a copy of its design drawings?"

"What do you need the design drawings for?" Vivian asked, somewhat curious.

“I want to extend it to the entire New Testament denomination as…our nun’s habit,” Karen said with a smile.

"Really?!"

Vivian's eyes instantly sparkled with excitement, and she perked up immediately.

Is my personal fashion sense going to be used as the standard for the entire sect?
Compared to Padridge, who has no appreciation for art and only knows how to whine, it's obvious that Miss Colin is the real artist!
"Of course it's true."

Karen nodded slightly.

Then, she changed the subject very naturally, her gaze falling on Luo Yan sitting opposite her, "After all, for the New Testament, isn't it time to make a complete break with the decaying St. Clement's Cathedral?"

Luo Yan put down his teacup, looked at the exceptionally intelligent girl in front of him, and smiled faintly: "You are very smart, Karen."

“Your Highness,” Karen bowed her head respectfully, her voice filled with humility and devotion, “I am merely doing my utmost to carry out your will.”

Vivian, sitting to the side, kept glancing back and forth between the two of them.

Her eyes, which had just relaxed completely, now held a hint of suspicion again. She had a feeling that something was off about the atmosphere between her brother and this Karen… Were they a little too in sync?

Strangely, however, she couldn't muster any strong hostility towards Karen.

The feeling is roughly similar to this: if the person sitting there were the vixen Padridge, that guy would have already taken advantage of his brother and then sit in front of Lady Vivian, smacking his lips and showing off his victory.

But this saintess, radiating divine light, was different. Her innocent eyes were like those of a puppy with moist eyes. Even if a bone were thrown in front of her, she would probably only dare to take a small bite... and might even share a bite with her.

The most blasphemous vampire in Shanghai seems to be thinking about something impolite again.

At that very moment, Vivian, who had been happily gazing at the world, suddenly snapped out of her daze, shook her head violently, and her crimson eyes once again became alert.

Vivian, oh Vivian, you were once the noble eldest daughter of the Colin family. When did you fall so low as to become a vampire who scavenge for scraps?!
If Roxie Collin knew, he would surely be disappointed in his own insignificance.

This is largely where the discrepancy between cognition and reality lies.

Vivian had no idea that the vixen Padridge, who was supposed to be eating, not only didn't smack her lips, but was also quite considerate of her feelings, and even really wanted to share a bite with her.

As for the saintess—

That's no "good person." Can a good person associate with a devil?
The claim of being harmless to humans and animals is just a facade.

Once she succeeds in getting to eat, she will surely devour all the blessings bestowed by God, just like those New Testament believers who may become wealthy in the future.

As for why Vivian didn't feel any hostility towards this girl, it was probably simply because she looked remarkably like her brother's disguise—

Karen has learned so much from Luo Yan, who taught her everything personally.

Just as Vivian was letting her thoughts wander, Sarah, who had been standing quietly to the side, stepped forward, came to Luo Yan, and respectfully bowed her head.

"My lord, I need to give you a detailed report on the recent war situation in the Kingdom of Rhodes... When would you be available?"

Luo Yan smiled.

"Let's talk here. I've set up a soundproof barrier in the side hall. And Vivian isn't an outsider, so it's fine for her to hear."

Upon hearing this, Vivian's cheeks gradually flushed, and a hint of barely concealed delight appeared on her lips.

Not... an outsider.

Hey.

Sarah was oblivious to the little vampire's incredibly complex inner thoughts; her amber eyes held only loyalty to the Demon King.

"Yes, my lord."

She cleared her throat and began to report in an orderly manner.

"As you planned, the wave of the New Testament uprising is sweeping across the entire kingdom of Rhodes from the north with unstoppable momentum."

"With the rich experience we gained in fighting the Green Forest Army in the Dusk Province, the Salvation Army's advance in the Kingdom of Rhodes has been exceptionally smooth."

Karen chimed in at the opportune moment, her tone tinged with pride, "We distributed the grain we plundered from the lord to his people, and promised them everything we could, which made them stand firmly by our side."

Sarah nodded, acknowledging Karen's addition, and continued.

"With the secret aid of Roxay rifles and a large amount of funds from the Duchy of Campbell, our army gained an absolute advantage in firepower. At first, the feudal lords of the Kingdom of Rhodes did not take the rebels seriously at all, regarding them as ordinary bandits. But soon, they paid the price for their recklessness."

The hastily assembled conscripts were immediately routed by the firepower of the Roxie rifles. Not to mention that among the rebels were some players with extraordinary abilities... who were responsible for dealing with some troublesome opponents.

For example, a lord or a lord's retainer.

"...But the enemy does have a large knightly class. What if those great lords actually assemble their heavy armored forces?" Luo Yan asked calmly, his fingers interlaced.

"That is precisely the wisdom of Generals Brennan and Redden."

A hint of appreciation flashed in Sarah's eyes as she spoke with approval.

"When the enemy's main force had finished assembling and was preparing to engage us in a decisive battle on the plains, they decisively abandoned the town they had just captured and led their main force to retreat quickly into the complex northern mountains and forests of the Kingdom of Rhodes."

"The feudal lords' coalition, though seemingly large, was riddled with internal conflicts. Once they lost a clear target for attack, they quickly developed serious disagreements over the allocation of supplies and garrison areas, and the entire army collapsed without a fight, allowing us to gradually divide and erode it in the mountains and forests."

"Well done."

A look of approval appeared on Luo Yan's face.

What is the current situation?

"It's better than we expected."

Sarah's lips curled up, and she continued speaking crisply and clearly.

"Currently, the Salvation Army, led by Brennan and Redden, has completely shifted its operations northward from the Kingdom of Lane. We are asserting our presence through continuous offensives, driving rural nobles and traditional clergy into towns, while simultaneously filling the power vacuum left by their departure. Of course, in this process, we have also encountered some thorny problems..."

Sarah's expression turned serious as she said this.

"First, there's the Duke of Blackwood's elite private army, a tough nut to crack. Second, this massive uprising has thoroughly enraged the Percival royal family of the Kingdom of Rhodes."

"Moreover, the geopolitical chain reaction has already begun to emerge."

Karen took over the conversation, her brows furrowing slightly, her voice taking on a serious tone.

“We have received definite intelligence. In order to prevent the flames of the New Testament from spreading to their own territory, the Norman Kingdom to the northwest of Rhodes has sent reinforcements to the Rhodes Kingdom, while the Tonia Kingdom has sent their proud heavy knights to assist the Rhodes royal family in launching a siege against us.”

Sarah nodded in agreement with Karen's statement, then took a deep breath and continued.

"The most serious thing is that the Os Empire has also sensed the danger. Although neither the Senate nor St. Clement's Cathedral has made a public response, our spies in Quartz City of the Kingdom of Rhodes have discovered that a force of ten thousand men is heading towards the capital of the Kingdom of Rhodes."

"If the Empire intervenes in this war, this flame probably won't burn for long... and the involvement of the Academy adds even more uncertainty to this uprising."

A brief silence fell over the side hall.

However, despite the grim situation and the immense pressure of multinational intervention in the uprising in the northern border of the Kingdom of Rhodes, Luo Yan did not show much panic on his face.

The alliances of feudal lords are mostly all bark and no bite, and the threat posed by the Salvation Army so far is far from threatening their very survival. Once the momentum of the uprising weakens, internal rifts will almost immediately become apparent.

Originally, Luo Yan did not expect the Salvation Army to be able to conquer the Kingdom of Rhodes. The fire was intended to buy time for Roland City and disrupt the Academy's plans.

Both the Kingdom of Rhodes and the Kingdom of Ryan are geographically within the sphere of influence of the Academy, and this matter has been tacitly approved by the Holy City.

Now that these places are experiencing continuous corruption of chaos, even if the Empire wanted to turn a blind eye to the Academy, it would probably be difficult to convince itself otherwise.

The current situation seems unfavorable to the Demon King's pieces, but the one who is more anxious is clearly not the Demon King, but his opponents in the regional game.

Luo Yan leaned back on the sofa, pondered for a moment, and then slowly nodded.

“You have done a great job. You have managed to hold out until now under the siege of multiple forces, and even allowed the flames of the uprising to continue to grow... To be honest, your performance has exceeded my expectations.”

Hearing the Demon King's praise, even the usually composed Sarah blushed slightly. Kallen nodded gently, her eyes filled with genuine respect and joy.

“This is all thanks to your guidance,” she said in a gentle voice. “Without your guidance, we probably wouldn’t have even made it out of Eagle Rock Territory.”

“No need to be modest.” Luo Yan waved his hand, his tone calm. “The Salvation Army owes much to its current situation. Our opponents are currently exhausted and unable to unite for the real enemy. The pressure of fighting on multiple fronts will consume a lot of their energy, which will create a valuable window of opportunity for the Kingdom of Ryan to undergo reform.”

He stood up and walked to the window.

In the distance, the city at dusk is growing slowly and steadily in the early winter mist, and on the crooked wooden scaffolding, one can vaguely see figures busily working like bees.

Although people are still not very skilled, everyone is actively embracing their new life.

It is foreseeable that when spring arrives, many new things will grow on this land, things never before seen before. And those things, perhaps even the Demon King has never seen...

"Next, the war in the Kingdom of Rhodes will shift to strategic defense and guerrilla warfare; we just need to hold them off. Our real focus will shift back to the Kingdom of Ryan—especially the land beneath our feet."

Karen and Sarah both looked up slightly at the same time.

Luo Yan paused for a moment, then continued.

"With the withdrawal of the Court of Judiciary, the feudal conservative forces of the Kingdom of Ryan have lost unprecedented control over the grassroots of society. The old order has crumbled, and the new order has yet to be established. This is the best time for us to fully spread the faith of the New Testament and reshape the soul of the entire nation!"

At this point, Luo Yan's gaze naturally fell on Karen, and his tone became more serious.

"Karen, the reason I'm recalling you from the front lines of the Kingdom of Rhodes at this time is to give you this more important mission. I need you to start working in full force in Twilight City, to take control of the people's spirits, and to make this place an unshakeable stronghold for the New Testament Church!"

Even—

A new "holy city"!
Karen paused for a moment, then her eyes flashed with fanaticism. Just as she was about to say something, Sarah, standing beside her, spoke with a hint of worry.

“But Your Highness, the Court of Judgment has been to Twilight City, and their influence still lingers. If Karen were to be exposed here… wouldn’t it be too dangerous?”

She walked very carefully, making sure no one saw Karen's face, precisely because of this concern...

This face was once wanted by the entire Twilight Province, and even today, the wanted posters have not been completely removed.

After listening to Sarah's concerns, Luo Yan smiled faintly and said...

"It is precisely because the Court of Judgment has been here that I have chosen this place as the starting point for the New Testament sect to move towards a new stage. I even dare to assert that for a considerable period of time to come, this will be the safest land in the entire Kingdom of Ryan!"

The referee from Jiménez has just suffered a major setback on this turf, and they are unwilling to admit that they made a mistake.

To cover up the scandal, they will avoid the Twilight Province at all costs. They will not easily return here unless the corruption of chaos takes hold.

As long as Jiménez remains in the position of referee chief.

He will not only not come back himself, but he will also prevent others from coming back.

Although he hadn't returned to the Holy City for a long time, Luo Yan had been keeping an eye on the city's developments, especially the personnel changes at the higher levels.

Melusine has his own spies in the Holy City, and the Demon King certainly has his own spies as well, and a whole bunch of them...

"On this point, I share the same thought as the Demon King."

Karen smiled and joined the conversation, looking at Sarah who still seemed hesitant. "Please don't worry about me. I will carefully manage the situation and try my best to let people hear the teachings of the Divine Child in a way that is acceptable to them."

Sarah wasn't worried about Kallen, but rather that if this move went wrong, it might affect the Demon Lord's entire game.

However, judging from the Demon King's reaction, he seems to have considered everything thoroughly.

So she calmed down a bit and stopped talking.

Seeing Sarah nod, Luo Yan didn't stop, but continued speaking with a smile.

"Most importantly, the people here are tired of the lofty dogma of St. Clement's Cathedral. I can see with my own eyes that the citizens of Twilight City are desperately embracing everything new—from the railroad to the factories, from currency to the law."

“The most conservative among them, once they decide to change, will become the most radical reformers. And in this era of rapid development, even farmers who toil in the fields are learning to think again. I have no doubt that they will embrace the New Testament even faster than Thunder City.”

after all--

The New Testament itself was created for this conservative land, just as the Encyclopedia was tailor-made for Thunder City.

A light shone in Karen's eyes.

She could understand what His Highness was saying, because it was exactly what she had experienced—people in despair instinctively want to grasp at every straw that comes their way.

Whoever handed it to it.

After speaking, Luo Yan turned his gaze to Vivian.

The latter listened very attentively.

Although she didn't understand many of the things her brother said, it didn't stop her from appreciating him as a person.

The Demon King has a unique charm when he's working seriously.

"Vivian."

"exist!"

When her name was suddenly called, Vivian instinctively straightened her back, like a soldier being inspected.

Luo Yan couldn't help but smile slightly before resuming his serious tone.

“From today onwards, the Knights Hospitaller of St. Colin will fully cooperate with Karen’s work.”

"I intend to entrust her with the overall coordination of adopting war orphans and establishing new-style church schools, with the New Testament Church members in charge. Your Knights, as allies of the New Testament Church, will provide security and logistical support for these tasks."

Vivian blinked.

Adopting orphans?

Open a school?

She's doing all of these things, and doing them quite well—the slum kids have started calling her an angel.

She hesitated for a moment, her gaze shifting back and forth between Karen and Luo Yan, but in the end she obediently nodded.

My elder brother must have his reasons for doing this.

"Understood, elder brother."

Luo Yan nodded to Vivian, then looked at Karen.

Karen's face still held a hint of doubt, and after a moment's thought, she asked.

“I have experience with orphanages, but what about modern church schools… how are they different from traditional church schools? Or is it just about teaching the doctrines of the New Testament in class?”

While she was active in the northern part of the Kingdom of Rhodes, she learned about church schools from nuns and priests.

However, the "new-style church school" mentioned by the Demon King was somewhat beyond her knowledge.

After all, the concept of "new" is far too broad.

“Not entirely.” Luo Yan shook his head, a meaningful smile playing on his lips. “In form, it is no different from the church schools that are widespread in the Kingdom of Ryan, but in substance they are two completely different things.”

"Could you be more specific?" Karen asked earnestly.

Luo Yan nodded with pleasure and continued.

"For example, schools still teach knowledge in the name of Saint Sis, and students still need to pray before lunch, but the object of their prayers is no longer Saint Sis himself, but the holy light that shines on the world and the 'son of God' who shares the holy light with everyone."

"For example, our teachers are no longer recruited only from the clergy, but are recruited openly from all levels of society and from all knowledgeable people."

"In addition, the content of the courses will no longer focus on theology and dogma. New Testament teachers will convey the ideas expounded in the New Testament to their students, and teach them 'science' and the stories of humanity!"

"I will guide you through the specific details; you just need to do as I say!"

Although Kallen didn't understand what the word "science" meant, nor did she fully understand the Demon Lord's intentions, she clearly saw the light shimmering in those deep purple eyes.

That was the gleam of ambition!
At the same time, it was also the divine oracle she had been longing for!
A blush of happiness spread across her pure face. Karen placed her right hand on her left breast and bowed her head deeply in the most devout manner.

“I understand, Divine Child.”

She felt immense joy and delight at being able to once again perform sacred deeds under the command of the Divine Child—

"I will certainly live up to your expectations and sow the seeds you have given me in every inch of the Kingdom of Ryan and even the continent of Os!"
