Chapter 148: The Combination of Religion and the Secular World, and the Journey to the Petrified Witches' Coven
Due to the ongoing political turmoil, the Storm Church of the Achaean Diocese adopted a temporary election system for bishops, spent two weeks on discussion and selection, and finally confirmed Borgia Frederick as the local bishop.

On the same day, Borgia Frederick was particularly grateful to Sunan Peter for his help, and immediately wrote a letter to Archbishop Mosilini, the archbishop of Stormwind, the capital in the northeast and the current patriarch of the Orthodox Church, recommending him to promote Baron Peter's family to earls and Maple Leaf Town to the central commercial city of the Storm Kingdom.

As a result, Frederick Borgia is no longer the same person as before, and even the archbishop has to give him face.

Generally speaking, as long as the bishop nominates a secular noble to upgrade his title, the promotion will basically be successful.

After all, the Storm Kingdom currently has 21 military districts, but only 7 pastoral districts.

Borgia is the bishop of one of the seven parishes and an absolute high-ranking figure in the Church of the Storm.

The military district is that part of the feudal system, while the pastoral district is the church system.

In this era, when both the church and the nobility were in power, there were always two systems for regional divisions.

One set is the territory of the feudal lord, and the other is the territory of the church.

The Storm Church is also a member of the Great Church of Order.

The Eastern Orthodox Church originally considered itself to be the Eastern Orthodox Church, equal to the large churches of order led by the Papal State.

Some even believe that only the Eastern Orthodox Church can represent the celestial order gods in commanding the churches of all order gods.

But as the Eastern Human Empire was usurped and replaced by the Storm Kingdom, the current Archbishop of the Storm Church also took over as the Patriarch of the Orthodox Church and, on behalf of the Orthodox Church, formally submitted to the Papal State.

The Archbishop of the Church of the Storm and the Patriarch of the Orthodox Church both submit to the Pope of the Papal States.

The current Pope Innocent III also wants to use this method to make up for the great split in the Church of the Goddess of Order caused by historical reasons and make the Church of the Goddess of Order unified again.

In order to strengthen his ecclesiastical power as Pope and suppress kings and emperors of various countries.

Soon, the letter of approval from the Archbishop was sent to Borgia and Peter's territory at the same time. Similarly, the Archbishop and Storm Kingdom also approved the improvement of Maple Leaf Town's position.

Of course, this decision will certainly hurt the interests of some people.

For example, harming the South Thrace Military District, the only Earldom of Storm, and the interests of the Samori family.

But Borgia didn't care, because he knew that it was Sunan and the Peter family who came to his aid in his most difficult times.

Borgia also knew that after becoming a bishop, he would need even more protection from secular allies.

Only now did he realize how deep the water in Peter's territory was.

How lucky he was that he had such a powerful ally who came to him.

At the Lion Port on the Achaean Peninsula, Borgia, along with a hundred church soldiers and five knights, boarded a ship of the Achaean Patriarchate, preparing to head to Peter's territory.

But it was different from the first time when he and his father went to Peter's Territory to show off.

Borgia went to Peter's territory this time, firstly to thank Sunan, and secondly to strengthen his relationship with Sunan.

He just realized now that Peter's family might have some unknown secrets, but he didn't care. The most important thing to him now was his own position as bishop, and even... one step further.

Therefore, the more powerful his allies are, the better it is for him.

On the boat, Borgia and Blom were chatting and laughing, but in fact it was mainly him talking and Blom listening.

It's not that Blom didn't want to speak, but he was an old soldier with a serious lack of cultural knowledge. How could he compete with Borgia, who was specially trained by Frederick's family and now a bishop, in eloquence?

At most, he could compete with Borgia in swordsmanship, but it is unknown who would win and who would lose.

On the deck, Borgia said to Blom excitedly: "Mr. Blom, I originally thought you were just a solid and reliable guard. Along the way, you have blocked countless assassinations for me."

"But I really didn't expect that you were also an orator. You defended me before the Benedictine elders last time, just like the orators in those city-states in this land thousands of years ago."

"Thank you so much, Mr. Bloom."

Blom opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, so he just said, "Oh."

Borgia continued to ramble on. "Now that I have become a bishop, I will go to the Barony of Peter, no... the Earldom of Peter, to bring glory to the Peter family."

"I have suggested to the Archbishop that all the baronies near Peter's family should be legally loyal to Earl Peter."

“Anyway, the Peter family’s control over them is already very deep now, I don’t think anyone will object.”

"As for the Count Samori family that is in the way, I don't care about their life or death, not to mention that they are currently in the midst of severe riots and famine."

Borgia now considers himself an iron ally of Peter's family, and fantasizes that he can get the full support of Peter's family.

Therefore, he thought entirely from the perspective of Sunan's interests, and did not care at all how much damage his somewhat willful behavior would bring to the interests of Count Samori's family.

Borgia was about to continue speaking to Blom when a laborer on the deck of the ship who was helping the church move goods suddenly had a ferocious expression on his face. He pulled out a dagger from inside his trousers and stabbed Borgia Frederick.

The church soldiers and knights stood in the middle of the ship's deck, while Borgia and Blom stood on the bow deck, so the faces of the soldiers and knights changed drastically for a moment.

"There are assassins!"

"My Lord Bishop, be careful..." Borgia turned around and looked at the assassin who was stabbing him fiercely, his eyes were sinister. "I'm already a bishop, and there are still damn guys who want to kill me and make room for others."

"Is it those idiots from the Platinum Republic?!"

The next moment, a noble sword was placed in front of Borgia, and the dagger of the assassin disguised as a dock sailor could only be inserted into the back of the famous sword of the Storm Kingdom and could not go any further.

The assassin's pupils suddenly shrank. He was a knight carefully trained by the Platinum Republic, a sea knight, and his direction was assassination, so his sword speed was very fast.

He finally found an opportunity to get close to Borgia, and even used the Ocean Prayer: Waves of the Waves, which increased his burst speed and the speed of his hand reaction nerves, so that he could deliver a fatal blow in this hard-earned opportunity.

However, an old soldier next to Borgia, who looked ordinary, had no great martial arts skills, was tatteredly dressed, and always had a lazy look, predicted the position in advance and blocked the attack.

Blom's pupils partially transformed into golden werewolf pupils, and he held a dogtail grass in his mouth. "Oh, you are an assassin who is as patient as a monster. You have been lurking on the ship for three days, but you only took action now."

The assassin's pupils dilated. "What?"

So, the person who is truly responsible for the safety of Bishop Borgia is this veteran of Peter's family who always follows him?
This is why the Borgia Bishop dared to stay away from the protection of the church army!
Blom chopped off his head with a backhanded sword, and at the same time, the corner of Blom's eye deformed into the pupil of a bloodthirsty mutant werewolf, but it flashed away.

The werewolf's super hearing allows him to easily hear the heartbeat of the other person and identify the other person from it.

Even if the werewolf warrior's hearing was not as abnormal as the werewolf butler's, how could this little formal Ocean Knight assassin, who had just started as a formal werewolf warrior who had been sublimated three times, equivalent to a first-class wizard apprentice, not see his abnormality?

Even without transforming into a werewolf, Brom in his partially transformed state could still crush and kill the Sea Knight with ease.

Moreover, Blom, following Sunan's orders, deliberately or unintentionally tested Borgia's attitude, such as not hiding the mutant werewolf's fleeting pupils in front of him.

The result satisfied Sunan, who had been observing secretly. Borgia simply ignored these anomalies and pretended not to notice them at all.

Borgia checked the corpse on the ground, and at the same time glanced at the church soldiers and knights who had arrived late with dissatisfaction, and then said to Blom in an admiring tone: "This is actually a formal marine knight."

"Mr. Blom, the Sword of Nobleness really suits you. You killed a sea knight with one strike of the sword. It is so reassuring to have you by my side, protecting me."

At this time, Sunan, who was thousands of miles away, directly controlled Blom's body and said to Borgia with a smile: "Of course."

"Your Excellency only needs to concentrate on praying for Peter's family."

"In terms of military, your safety will be guaranteed by the Peter family."

Borgia, who only wanted to climb to the top in the church, smiled with satisfaction. This was what he wanted.

He has no interest in secular power.

He just wanted to become the most honorable priest among a group of priests and become a spiritual mentor to the world.

……

At the same time, under Peter's leadership, Sunan brought Wolf One and Wolf Two and sat in a carriage driven by Vasilyan, pulled by two white-fronted horses, and headed to the Earldom of Samori.

The territory consists of werewolves converted from seventy-two hounds, including Pella and the old butler Warwick, as well as Mario Sacrifice, Garguy Gargoyle and Alexander Sacrifice, and the Jinx swarm from the underground world.

Even if they are not in the territory, if a group of warlocks dare to attack, they will suffer a great loss.

Likewise, those idiots in the underground world seemed to be making some big moves, gathering slaves on a large scale in an underground passage.

Sunan didn't care much and just let the swarm of insects attack.

I just need to limit the number of insects to prevent the experiment from getting out of control.

Moreover, only by continuously using war to experiment with one's own scarab swarm can one cultivate a more powerful scarab swarm.

He was different from the group in the Insect Curse Valley who just liked to work behind closed doors, using a bunch of magic at home to cultivate scarabs in the direction they wanted.

The idea of ​​cultivating one's own swarm is to use its powerful reproductive power to continuously produce new swarms, and to find the appropriate mutation direction for the scarab through high-intensity warfare with a large number of swarms.

Sunan said to Vasily, who was driving the carriage, "Vasily, we can go faster. Don't worry about me being uncomfortable."

"I want to get to the coven of petrified witches as soon as possible."

"After all, we don't know their specific attitude. If we arrive there in advance, we can make more preparations."

Vasily said, “Yes.”

As a result, the carriage sped up.

At the same time, underground in Peter's territory, on the Drow Warrior Mountain, he and his lover, the fire dragon lizardman Molly Wood, had led the army of the upper races and ambushed in advance on the other side of the underground passage, and deliberately gathered a large number of dwarves, lizardmen, cryptmen and other slaves.

The Drow Warriors watched expectantly from the mountain as a huge sound came from the other side of the underground. "It doesn't sound like an army marching. What is it?"

"But we can finally find them."

"Fire Dragon Lizardmen, you are all a semi-arcane race that can use dragon fire vomit. You are one of the superior races in the dungeon."

"Now is the time for us, the creatures of the underworld, to strike back!"
