Succubus cannot be a saint

The Duke finally couldn't help but curse.

Volume 3: The Faith Revolution of the Succubus Saint: Chapter 291: Stocking Exhibition

In this way, the canonization ceremony came to an end, and Field's combat nun instructors arrived in Moon Spring Town and Graystone Town, and Opheline also returned to Field and got the position of steward left for her by Sharlene in the Cathedral.

Looking at everything before her, Ophelin suddenly felt a sense of unreality. In this holy city, this center of faith in the Western Territory, she had her own office, her own power and status. No one questioned her, the airborne "chief steward," as if this position was her due.

Recalling the night when she was forced to leave Field and come to Moon Spring Town, the red-haired head nun suddenly felt as if she was dreaming.

At that time, she was filled with despair and resentment, angry at the injustice of fate, and had to write letters against her will to deceive her parents. Deep in her heart, she even harbored an extremely strong jealousy and hatred towards Judia, the daughter of a noble who had taken her place.

But now, everything is different.

Judiya's father had been executed by Duke Dravi because he had been manipulated by the Nightmare Cult and participated in a cult rebellion, and she was thrown into a local monastery - the so-called "purification" was actually permanent imprisonment.

Moreover, even the Archbishop who once controlled the entire Field has now become a puppet of the Saint Lady and a prisoner. You know, he is a high-ranking priest and an Archbishop!

Upon hearing this news, Ophelin couldn't believe her ears. For a moment, she couldn't even decide which of the two news items, "The Archbishop was secretly colluding with the Black Wing Society" or "The Archbishop was overthrown and controlled by the Saint Lady," shocked her more. She couldn't even imagine how the Saint Lady had managed all this.

In contrast...Ophelin herself has become the Saint's capable subordinate, managing the territory for her, and now she even has the power to govern the temple!

Overnight, everything changed.

She would never forget the whispers of the Saint in her ear that night.

"I promise, I will let you return to Field, I will give you everything you deserve..."

The thought of this made tears flow uncontrollably from the succubus's eyes. Yes, yes, Saint, she had fulfilled her promise—no, even if she hadn't, Ophelin wouldn't hold any grudge against her.

Because she saw the potential of Moon Spring and Greystone. She knew the value of those magical machines and had full confidence in the Dust of Plenty. She believed that, given time, these two towns would become even greater than Field. And she was willing to contribute to this great city.

Furthermore, she had received the Saint's grace, becoming a succubus superior to humans. Youth, beauty, health, pleasure, magic, wealth, power, status... all of these things were within her grasp, like a dream.

Ophelin once again became convinced that following... no, believing in the Saint Lady was the only right path in this world, and there was no other.

..............................

"——Report to Her Majesty the Saint."

On the second day after arriving in Field City and being appointed the chief steward by Sharlelei, Ophelin went to Sharlelei's study. She was startled when she saw Angeldel inside. After Sharlelei shook her head to indicate it was okay, she knelt on one knee and continued:

"Granny's giant spider breeding industry has been initially established. Furthermore, the tailors have also produced new clothing according to the instructions you left behind."

New clothes!

Salarei was instantly overjoyed, a charming blush spreading across her face. Angeldel, standing beside her, was stunned, staring at her in awe, wondering why she was so happy.

She didn't know that in Moon Spring Town, Sharlelei was most concerned about three things: the farming problem of "Dust of Plenty", the development of the Arcane Workshop, and the new clothes made by Granny.

Ophelin clapped her hands and had the maid push in the wheeled stockings mannequin. She coughed softly, "Thanks to the 'Shadow of the Spring Goddess' you brought back, Granny has already controlled a group of giant spiders and raised them on the edge of the Black Forest. She's also controlled and raised some mice as feed for the giant spiders..."

As she listened, Angeldale's face turned pale.

Giant spiders? Rats? Farming? She even began to doubt whether the red-haired succubus was speaking the common language.

Although she had always talked about suicide, her willingness to commit suicide did not mean that she was not afraid of spiders and mice.

"At the same time, tailors and dyers also figured out how to dye stockings..."

As Ophelin described the story, wooden leg models were wheeled into the study. These models were covered with various styles of stockings, from the most common white knee-high socks to pantyhose, black stockings, step-on socks, and even fishnet stockings.

Soon, more than a dozen models appeared before Sharlelei and Angeldale. The dazzling array of stockings in various colors dazzled the two girls.

What surprised Sallelei the most was the black bodystockings worn on a full-body model.

"I don't think I left you any design drawings..." said Charlene, while Ophelin blushed and whispered, "Yes, this is... the tailor had a sudden inspiration and made it herself. I wonder if you are satisfied..."

Sharlelei walked around the bodystocking several times, examining it carefully. Not only was the bodystocking conveniently cut at the bottom, but it also had a special cutout at the chest area. The spider silk material's exceptional elasticity allowed it to cling to and support the chest even better.

And those special cuts have obviously been carefully modified. Not only do they not appear abrupt, but they form a shape similar to the holy emblem of the Goddess of Light in the middle of the chest, which is exquisite, sacred and sexy.

"I am very satisfied. You should write a letter to Greystone Town and ask them to reward the tailor who invented it." Sharlelei walked around the silk jumpsuit. The more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became. She smiled and nodded.

"Yes, Saint. The seamstress said she made it while imagining you wearing it..." Ophelin's cheeks turned even redder. "So... please forgive her for taking the liberty of naming this dress."

"How could I blame her for overstepping her bounds? What name did she choose?"

"She calls it..." Ophelin looked at the black silk jumpsuit, her eyes sparkling with joy, "...'The Holy Shroud'. She also said that not only the Saint, but all the succubus nuns, can wear this dress as a uniform..."

Making all the nuns... wear this kind of clothing under their uniforms? This kind of black silk dress that clings to the body, letting the skin shimmer through? Isn't this a bit too...

Angeldel, who was standing by, was completely stunned.

"Furthermore, we discovered that if 'holy water' is added during the process of refining spider silk..."

Even Ophelin, the narrator, couldn't help but imagine the beauty of the succubus nuns wearing these clothes, and even her eyes were a little dazed. After a moment of distraction, Ophelin coughed lightly and continued:

"If 'holy water' is added... the finished stockings will also contain a very small amount of charm ingredients, which can penetrate through the fabric and enter the skin, gradually weakening the wearer's resistance to the succubus's charm."

"And it's not just stockings. After being refined, the giant spider's silk can also be used to make other clothing..."

The moment she said this, Sharlele suddenly turned her head, a smile that was a mixture of astonishment and information spread across her pretty face, full of indescribable charm and evil.

Isn't this the "Succubus Holy Water" disguised as clothes?

"That's really good news, Ophelin..." Salares said with a smile, "It's just right. When the 'Conference on the Purification Order Act' is held in May, we can give a 'big gift' to the nobles and church members gathered there..."

Angeldel, who was listening in on the side, was completely dumbfounded and shuddered involuntarily.

Only now did she realize what kind of pirate ship she, a "traitor", had boarded...

Holy Wrap is a really genius name, isn't it? (Thinking)

Volume 3: The Faith Revolution of the Succubus Saint: Chapter 292: The Purification Order Bill Meeting

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye it is already the end of the month of April in the year 1474 of the Long Calendar.

During this period, Sharlele's various territories were developing step by step in an orderly manner, and the number of succubi was increasing steadily, steadily approaching four digits.

With the help of the "Shadow of the Spring Goddess" and the magic of the Deer Horn Goddess, Granny successfully opened a "Giant Spider Ranch" on the edge of the Black Forest, raising hundreds of giant spiders and restricting their movements with the magic of controlling animals, making it easier for the mountain people to reel silk from the silk sacs.

Sharlelei once took some time out from Field to visit the "Spider Ranch" in Yuequan Town. Although she considered herself not afraid of spiders, she couldn't help feeling nauseous when she saw hundreds of half-human-sized, black, furry spiders weaving webs and wriggling inside the wooden fence.

As for the accompanying Angeldel... she vomited all over the floor, rolled her eyes, and fainted.

By the way, the tailor who was taken away by Sharlene to make stockings and developed the "Holy Wrap" has also been assimilated into a succubus by the Saint herself.

In addition, the even better news is that since the Deer Horned Goddess "awoke" that day, several priests who were granted divine powers by the Deer Horned Goddess have awakened one after another among the mountain people. It is worth mentioning that these priests are also succubi.

Sharlele was surprised but also a little funny. Although she didn't know what the antler goddess was thinking, it seemed that she accepted the fact that she "shared believers" with her.

During this time, Sharlele also tried to communicate with the deity again, but Granny prayed to the Deer Horned Goddess many times without receiving a response from her. She didn't know whether she was deliberately not responding or had fallen into a deep sleep again. So Sharlele had to give up for the time being.

In terms of military, the arrival of battle sisters and knight instructors has made up for the shortcomings of the militia in martial arts and command. Although there is still a gap between them and well-trained regular troops, as long as time is given, they will be able to become a real army that can go to the battlefield.

After this period of military expansion, and with the transfer of various personnel from Field, the number of standing troops and militia in the two towns also increased.

Once faced with war, Sharlele can easily gather an army of about a thousand people (including conscripts), most of whom are equipped with catapult magic crossbows and magic ballistae.

In addition to the men, some succubus nuns also took the initiative to receive training in marching, commanding, and fighting. These succubus not only have physical fitness, reaction speed, and endurance that are superior to humans, but they even master some basic magic.

As a result, the two towns now had a team of about fifty succubus combat nuns. Although their training was short and their martial arts skills were not very proficient, their succubus-like physiques were enough to completely defeat male soldiers with similar equipment in sparring.

You have to remember, these are beautiful girls who can knock down grown men with a single wooden sword. And that's without using magic.

Once the Field Magic Association overcomes the problem of multiple spells coexisting and creates an enchantment pool that can enchant weapons in large quantities for a long time, it is not difficult to imagine how terrifying the power of these elite succubus teams, whose individual combat capabilities far exceed those of ordinary soldiers and who can also cast spells, will be on the battlefield.

....................................

In addition, after successfully breaking free from the "Dream Catcher", the fully recovered little succubus Sally also joined the church's succubus choir and the basic magic teaching class opened for succubi with Heidi and others.

She had a very flexible mind and learned very quickly. Within two months, she had become a little wizard apprentice, and she mastered magic much faster than her knight sister.

After the "Holy Wrap" was released, Sharlene boldly designated it as the uniform of the succubus nuns... though it's unclear whether it should be considered underwear or something else entirely. Word of the "Holy Wrap" spread quickly throughout Graystone and Moonspring, and even a white silk version quickly appeared.

Now, all the succubi in the town wore these sexy one-piece stockings under their nun uniforms, including the girls in the succubus choir and even Sally.

Now, every night when Durenna finished work and returned to her room, she would see a delicate little nun in white silk succubus on the bed, or a little witch in black silk, smiling and holding a special collar for her sister.

...This time it's really a mixture of pain and happiness.

..............................

After the beginning of spring, spring plowing officially began in Yuequan Town and Huishi Town. According to the plan and instructions left by Sharlelei, Granny directed the townspeople to open up several new fields outside the town and began a control experiment of "Dust of Plenty".

As for the existing fields within the town, they were blessed by the newly born priests of the Antlered Goddess. It seemed that regardless of the effectiveness of the Dust of Plenty, under the care of these succubus priests, the two towns would not have to worry about the harvest this year.

Looking at the plowed experimental field, Granny carefully spread the "Dust of Plenty" according to the prescribed amount. She still remembered the weeds that continued to grow wildly even after the monster horns were buried in the field during the winter. Because of this, she was full of confidence in this autumn's harvest.

...Ever since losing contact with the Antlered Goddess, the mountain dwellers haven't seen the golden waves of wheat blanketing the fields for decades. But under the guidance of the Saint, this scene will surely return soon.

However, ever since Sharlelei cut off the source of magical beasts, the "Dust of Plenty" ground from the horns of magical beasts has become a non-renewable resource. Therefore, Sharlelei specially sent the pharmacist Du Mudan back to Yuequan Town to study with the priests of the Deer Horn Goddess how to combine alchemical potions and natural blessings to continuously ensure the harvest of the fields.

In Field City, there has been no breakthrough in the research on the coexistence of multiple spells and communication mirrors, but there has been some progress in Sharlelei's "Succubus Cradle".

Compared with the other two studies, the "Succubus Cradle" is much simpler. It is actually a simple "regulator" that controls the flow, intensity and stability of external magic power within the range acceptable to the human body, thereby achieving safe magic injection.

What made Sharlelei laugh and cry was that the runes she had copied from the Nightmare Cult actually contained an entire system for maintaining human functions. Just stripping out the unnecessary parts of this system would take as much effort as researching the Succubus Cradle itself.

But just as Sharlelei said, from theory to technology, and then from technology to mass production, each step is a huge mountain to climb. The theory of the Succubus Cradle is now complete, but it will take some time to actually manufacture it...

........................

As the Flower Month of May approached, the invitation letter from Duke Dravi was sent to the Archbishop...or rather, to Salares' study.

The invitation, in a very polite tone, invited the Archbishop to the Viscount Guzman's territory in the central Western Territory to discuss important matters. The letter also politely mentioned that if the busy Chosen Saint was free, she should also be invited to go.

"Well, that chosen saint of God is, of course, free... right?"

After reading the letter, Sharlene covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes sweeping across the charming smiles of the succubi around her.

"Come, my followers. Release that puppet from the dungeon. It's time for us to go...to the feast."

------

I know you're curious about whether the holy water production is sufficient, but I can't talk about that here (gestures)

Volume 3: The Faith Revolution of the Succubus Saint: Chapter 293: The Sacred Wrap

In a room full of succubi, only Angeldel felt somewhat bewildered.

During this time, she had been following Ophelin's lead in handling the affairs of the Cathedral under Sallelei's arrangement. Initially, as a young lady raised in an aristocratic family and somewhat exposed to such matters, she had a certain contempt for Ophelin, the "country nun."

But soon, she felt deeply confused and shocked by the work ability demonstrated by Ophelin.

Efficient calculations and record keeping, well-organized management, and clear priorities among various matters... This red-haired head nun was like a precise machine, always handling various government affairs in an orderly manner. Orders and documents were issued from her study one after another, keeping the entire cathedral running precisely and orderly...

How could this be? Is this also... the power of a succubus? Are succubi really that good at handling government affairs? Is this true?

Angeldale was stunned.

During this period, she saw that the archbishop's expenses for banquets and luxury goods were cut one by one, every income and expenditure of the cathedral was sorted out, the archbishop's private property was put into Field's treasury, and his property income was also invested by Ophelin in various urban construction projects.

Cleaning of streets and sewers, establishment of public baths and toilets, reduction of unreasonable taxes, increase of military funds for the Knights...

Angeldel saw plan after plan being drafted, finalized, implemented and executed by Sallelei and Ophelin, and her confusion and shock continued to grow.

——She was willing to join the succubus side as a human being, entirely out of her feelings for Sharlele.

If she could "start over" with that girl, she would be willing to do so even if it meant being raped, becoming an accomplice of the succubus, and completely betraying humanity.

But gradually, while assisting Sharlele and Ophelin in handling government affairs, she suddenly had this idea:

It doesn't seem like a bad thing if we just let succubus rule and dominate humans.

After all, this government composed of succubi is much more efficient and reliable than the aristocratic rule she is accustomed to.

Furthermore, under the rule of these succubi, Field had become a paradise for women just like them. Strolling through the cathedral, one could see the beautiful nuns walking hand in hand, a truly delightful sight.

In addition, Angeldel had participated in the "Cradle of Delight" many times. She had witnessed with her own eyes those nuns who devoutly believed in succubus, or ordinary women, who secretly came to the cathedral from all over Field and were assimilated into beautiful monsters under the embrace of succubus.

Then, these new succubi would turn their attention to their sisters, mothers, daughters, relatives, and friends. Sometimes it was a daughter with her mother, sometimes an older sister with her younger sister, and one by one, women became loyal believers of the "God's Chosen Saint" and were reborn.

Amidst these enchanting and beautiful erotic masses, Angeldale would sometimes wonder, was she in the goddess' kingdom? If not, why was everything around her so beautiful?

Now, a perfect opportunity is about to come - the Purification Order Act. If this bill is passed, the succubus nuns of Field will enter the mansions of various nobles in the West Territory in the name of "preventing evil cults from infiltrating the nobility" and "exorcise" them.

It was obvious that once invaded by succubi, those nobles would eventually succumb to their allure and become their slaves. And the entire Western Territory would become a world overrun by the succubus cult.

...Although Angeldel didn't think there was anything wrong with that. Having an efficient succubus government rule over humanity was better than being exploited by those bloated nobles.
