"This news..." Xia's expression was a mixture of relief and headache: "I really don't know if it's good or bad."
The good news is that the Archbishop, who holds the most dangerous position in the Gospel Church and is in charge of the Gospel of Pride, is currently suspected to be out of town.
The bad news is that this person in the underground city beneath Mona is up to some unknown scheme.
And most importantly, with such a huge landmine hidden right under her feet, how is Xia ever going to sleep peacefully again?
Just as Sia was having a headache, Seria, who was standing next to her, interjected and asked:
"Then why did you come to Mona City and deliberately impersonate that Grand Scribe?"
"Because it was the librarian's order."
Lilia answered without hesitation.
Then, Lilia turned her head and her gaze fell on Fiona:
"Although it may be a bit frightening for you."
"However, based on my current understanding..."
"The former princess of a certain orc kingdom, who was once defeated by your uncle, has become my superior, the 'Liberal' of the Arrogant Gospel Society."
Fiona was stunned upon hearing this.
Chapter 86 The Beast Realm is a Chaotic Place!
"Who...who were you talking about again?"
Fiona, looking puzzled, grabbed her wet hair and said blankly.
“Your aunt?” Lilia looked at Fiona strangely. “If she weren’t your relative, how would I know about you?”
"To be honest, if it weren't for the intelligence documents about Mona City that the lord gave me, which contained a lot of information about you, I wouldn't have thought of this at all."
“That’s not what I meant,” Fiona said, looking conflicted. “What I meant was, my grandfather had over sixty aunts. Who are you talking about?”
The room fell silent after he said that.
"More than 60?" Lynn, who was hearing this for the first time, was stunned: "Even pigs can't reproduce that many times!"
However, the knowledgeable Seria remained quite calm about this:
"That's normal."
"The ceremony for the succession of the Lionheart King was to defeat or even kill the previous Lionheart King."
"In this process, in order to ensure that the representatives of other clans who were taken as wives by the Lionheart would not be affected, many new Lionhearts would inherit the previous wives and execute their children."
"Is this really that hardcore?" Upon hearing this, Lynn immediately thought of the science programs he had watched on Animal World.
It seems that lions do indeed have this 'survival of the fittest' 'custom'.
"So... when you talk to me about auntie, I don't feel anything."
Fiona picked up the towel again, calmly drying her hair, and said:
"There are so many people, and they're all so annoying. Who's going to remember who's who?"
"I can't even recognize all my older and younger brothers and sisters, so how could I possibly remember any aunts?"
Lilia hesitated for a moment, then bit her lower lip lightly and said:
"...He was the one who once tried to challenge the Lionheart, but was defeated."
"Huh?" Fiona was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly realized and said, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
"Oh, it's Leona? She's not dead!"
"I thought Dad had killed her..."
Lilia nodded and said seriously:
"Not only did he not die, but it seems he's planning a counterattack under the pretext of avenging your father. Well, of course, that's just my personal guess."
“A counterattack? Impossible.” Fiona said without hesitation, “Leona’s bloodline is mostly inherited from her mother, and her father even doubts that her children are likely to inherit the bloodline of the Lionheart King, so he refuses to take her into his harem.”
"With such poor bloodline, how could she possibly become the Lionheart King?"
"She's less likely to become the Lionheart than I am."
Thinking of this, Fiona suddenly fell into deep thought, seemingly lost in thought.
However, while Fiona was thinking, Lynn was shocked.
Wait a minute, sis, did you just say something explosive?
Lynn suddenly turned his head to look at Fiona and said, "What do you mean, 'Your father refuses to take your aunt into his harem'?"
"Then you'll have to ask her directly, since I don't know what she's thinking."
"Lilia spread her hands and said with an innocent look on her face."
“However…” Lilia then looked at Fiona with a meaningful gaze, “There’s something I need to remind you of.”
"The Gospel Church is very skilled at things like bloodline conversion."
Upon hearing this, Lynn immediately became alert: "You mean, Fiona's aunt might be searching for her because she wants to obtain Fiona's bloodline?"
Lilia hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's not convenient to say, since I'm not entirely sure myself."
At this moment, Fiona, who had been thinking for a long time, suddenly slapped her forehead and said:
"Ah, I remember now, Leona's mother, isn't she Phantom?"
Upon hearing this, Lynn immediately focused his attention on Lilia.
Xia, who was standing nearby, also joined in the fun, saying in a sarcastic tone:
"Heh heh, you're already trying to renege on the contract after we just signed it?"
Lilia glanced at Sia speechlessly: "Are you that vengeful? I already forgave you so generously."
Xia was taken aback. Had she done something that needed to be forgiven?
Just then, Lilia scratched her head, turned to look at Lynn, and said:
"Well, how should I put it..."
"Leona's mother was indeed a phantom, and her relationship with the previous generation of Lionheart was similar to that of me and you."
Lynn raised an eyebrow in surprise. Was it similar to his relationship with Lilia?
So that means Fiona's grandfather, the previous Lionheart, like her, was spotted by the Phantom's potential and became her partner?
"Friendly reminder," Lilia said with a smile, holding up a finger. "Fiona's father killed her grandfather and inherited the throne of the Lionheart."
"A further reminder: the vast majority of Phantoms will only choose one contractor, and once the contractor is killed, most Phantoms will choose to seek revenge."
"Then, Leona's mother was one of the few who didn't choose revenge, but it's unlikely she didn't..."
"After all, that one is still in Uncle Fiona's harem."
After hearing these secrets of the orc royal family, Lynn's mouth gaped slightly, and he was completely dumbfounded.
So, it was Fiona's father who killed her biological father, and then her biological father's concubine, in order to take revenge, seduced another young son and completed the revenge and counterattack?
Then, the concubine's daughter, under the pretext of avenging Fiona's father, wanted to kill the half-brother who was having an affair with her biological mother.
"What the hell is this?!"
Hearing Lynn's words, Seria nodded in deep agreement and said:
“Short-lived races that only believe in God and do not record history are like this.”
After saying that, Seria turned her head and glanced at Fiona:
"But now that we know who is looking for you, things will be much easier."
"Huh?" Fiona hesitated. "Should we hide? Leona isn't strong either."
At this moment, Sia reminded her, "Don't be careless. Most of the scribes in the Evangelical Fellowship have the ability to fight against demigods."
“This…” Fiona was speechless.
Demigod? Leona? She couldn't reconcile those two words in her mind at all.
After all, in her impression, Leona always talked a lot but actually seemed weak.
After giving the reminder, Sia glanced at Lilia, rested her index finger on her chin, and said thoughtfully:
"However, it turns out she is a scribe associated with illusions and demons. No wonder she can order someone like you around."
"But why would the scribe from the orc royal family send you here to impersonate the Grand Scribe of the Night?"
"That shouldn't be hard to guess, right?"
Lilia blinked, looking at Sia with a strange expression, and said:
"The Grand Secretary has disappeared, and the matter has been kept secret. Is this situation really that hard to guess?"
Sia frowned, looking displeased, and said, "But the problem is that the most important condition for becoming the Archbishop of the Gospel Church is to obtain the 'Gospel' of the Underground City."
Just then, Lynn suddenly said:
"Could that so-called gospel be hidden in Knightworth's treasure?"
Upon hearing this, Xia was completely stunned.
Lilia stared wide-eyed at Lynn, completely dumbfounded.
How did you guess so accurately?
Chapter 87 I Have No Objection to Her Becoming the Biggest (Fourth Update)
Upon hearing Lilia's admission, Lynn scratched his head as if in a headache:
"So, you had Jeken create inferior dragon blood so that you could obtain the Gospel from that librarian, Fiona's aunt?"
Lilia gave Lynn a strange look, then raised her little hand and waved it, explaining:
"Let me correct that."
"My task is not to obtain the Gospels, but simply to confirm whether there are any treasures left behind by His Excellency the High Scripture in that treasure trove."
Lilia shrugged and said:
"Of course, some people within the organization speculate that the treasure that was left behind might be the Gospels, but no one can give a definite answer."
“Some people think so?” Xia took a deep breath, clutched her chest, and said, “I have a bad feeling.”
Some within the Evangelical Fellowship speculate that the Knightworth family's treasure is the Gospels left behind by Archbishop Milya... What's the difference between that and putting a crown inside?
Wouldn't all the powerful figures in the Evangelical Fellowship, who aspire to become high priests, rush to Mona City like madmen?
What kind of mess is this?!
"It's become a complete hotbed of trouble!" Seria sighed beside her.
"What's going on? How did it suddenly become a place of trouble?"
Fiona scratched her cheek, looking suspicious.
"But isn't the most crucial question now why the Archbishop would leave something in the Knightworth family's treasure?"
Lynn then said calmly, "I guess it's because the archcriterion's surname is Knightworth?"
Lilia, who had originally intended to explain to Fiona, was now shocked:
"No, Lynn, how did you guess again?"
"Hehe, just assume I have a better brain."
Lynn gave a dry laugh and said in a perfunctory tone.
If he could, he wouldn't want to think about these things.
However, after hearing what Lilia and Fiona said, the analytical power of the Dragon of Knowledge within him automatically sorted out the situation, ultimately leading Lynn to this answer.
Why is Cohen so insistent on cooperating with the Evangelical Fellowship? And why does he claim that the treasure holds the secret to destroying Knightworth?
