Chapter 102: Splitting Up

In the living room of Room 422, Tulip Apartments.

After Adeline used mystical means to seal the entire room, ensuring no one could eavesdrop, the five people sat together.

Silas sat upright, his expression serious. "Our Church of the Evening Bell is officially established today. You are all very clear about our creed and our principles. However, due to the special nature of our personnel, we can only operate in secret at this stage, absorbing those pitiful people who yearn for shelter."

The other four nodded, indicating their understanding.

"Remember, our current target group is Demonesses, Sorceresses, vampires, the Undead, and other heretics detested by the secular world. At the same time, they must be mentally stable and yearn for peace. We will not shelter or protect those who desire to cause trouble."

"Understood!"

Silas nodded with satisfaction, looked at Randall, and asked, "You said you had something to tell me. Speak now!"

Randall straightened his posture and said seriously, "Your Holiness the Pope, I hope you can give me some time to return to my homeland, the Land of Nightfall."

"Oh? Do you have any thoughts?" Silas asked.

Randall nodded. "My clansmen are still suffering from the erosion of blood. I want to go back and guide them to join our church."

Then, Randall explained, "I didn't come out this time for any Holy Grail or anything like that. I just wanted to find a way to free myself from the curse of blood."

Silas pondered for a moment and thought, "Although Randall is very powerful now, my core focus will be in the church for some time to come, so he won't be of much use. Moreover, they are no match for the current core enemy, that powerful man in black. Whether he stays here or not doesn't make much difference."

Thinking of this, Silas nodded. "Alright. However, after you go back, you need to help me understand the situation in the Land of Nightfall in detail, as well as relevant information related to the Apex Aether Research Institute. That place is beyond the reach of the three major Churches and is very conducive to our development. I will inquire about the situation there at any time through my Lord's messengers."

Randall nodded vigorously upon hearing this. "No problem, Your Holiness the Pope."

At this moment, the form of address had changed.

After Randall finished speaking, Adeline followed, "Your Holiness the Pope, I also need to leave for a period of time. First, I need to report this matter to the Sorceress Sisterhood. Then, I need to find Jeros and explain this matter in detail."

Hearing this, Silas immediately nodded with pleasure. "No problem. It just so happens that you need to help me determine the nature of the Sorceress Sisterhood and temporarily act as a liaison between me and Master Jeros."

Now that Jeros was a central Archbishop, Silas would naturally not let such a huge help go unused.

"I will spend a long time in the church understanding its situation and familiarizing myself with the relevant knowledge of this world. So, now is a very good time to separate. I will contact you through my Lord's messengers. Go ahead and do what you need to do without any scruples. My Lord's glory will protect us."

Randall and Adeline nodded, then their hearts suddenly skipped a beat.

"This world?" This phrase was noticed by both of them at the same time.

"Could it be…" Instantly, a possibility flashed through their minds, and their spirits trembled violently as if struck by lightning.

Silas didn't notice the abnormality of these two old monsters. He looked at Helles, who seemed hesitant to speak, and asked, "Do you have any problems?"

The more extroverted and assertive Helles said directly, "Your Holiness the Pope, I hope to accompany Mr. Randall to the Land of Nightfall."

"Oh? Why?"

Helles said with a firm and serious expression, "This incident has made us feel urgent and ashamed. I want to grow and become stronger quickly. I heard from Mr. Randall that the Land of Nightfall is completely different from here; it is a chaotic and dangerous place. That's perfect. I want to go there to hone my skills and abilities! I don't want to tarnish my Lord's glory when He needs me next time."

Bernice, beside her, followed, "I think so too. However, I hope to accompany Ms. Adeline to the capital. I am more suited to grow in that place. The future development of the church will definitely require a lot of connections and funds. Building our network of relationships earlier is crucial for spreading my Lord's glory."

Hearing this, Silas was taken aback, then filled with gratification.

"The two timid little girls from before have finally fully grown up."

Silas didn't answer hastily but turned to ask Randall and Adeline, "What do you two think?"

Randall replied seriously, "Helles possesses extremely high combat talent. If she stays here, it would indeed be too much of a waste. If she returns to the Land of Nightfall, I can do my best to cultivate her!"

Adeline spoke with equal solemnity, "Bernice's grasp and sensitivity towards politics are very precise. She herself is of noble birth and possesses a wide range of knowledge. Give me some time, and Bernice and I can definitely build an extensive and solid network of relationships."

After listening, Silas looked at the four, the corners of his mouth slowly curving up. He raised his hands and said loudly, "Good! Very good! Extremely good! My Lord will be very, very satisfied with your foresight, this heartfelt loyalty, and consideration. Go! Go and strive to grow! Go and strive to develop! In the future, spread my Lord's glory to every corner of this world!"

"Yes! Your Holiness the Pope!" The four spoke with firm and powerful tones.

Afterward, Silas didn't say much more. After all, even if they separated, they could communicate at any time in their dreams.

The four planned to leave the day after tomorrow. After all, there was no point in staying here now.

Silas had no objections. After confirming, he left directly and went home.

Returning home, Ada had already returned and was preparing dinner.

When Ada saw Silas's clothes, she was taken aback. She quickly walked over, and after confirming the more exquisite Goddess pendant on Silas's chest, she asked happily, "Have you become a clergyman?"

Silas smiled and nodded. "Yes, my performance this time was quite outstanding. I've been officially instated with Master Jeros's introduction."

Ada immediately looked overjoyed and quickly pulled Silas into the living room. "Then we must celebrate properly today."

"Celebrate! Of course, celebrate!" Saying this, Silas took out the salary he had received today, looking proud. "This is the salary I received today. From now on, our lives won't be so tight."

It was the first time Ada had seen so much money at once. Her eyes widened slightly, then her good sense quickly brought her back to reality. She smiled. "You keep this money."

"I'm not good at managing money. You take this money and buy yourself some nice clothes and prepare some delicious food."

At the mention of delicious food, the Husky lying on the floor immediately lifted its head, its eyes shining brightly.

Ada smiled and took out the pendant hidden in her collar. "I also became official today, a formal nun. I originally planned to give you a surprise."

"Haha! Today is truly a joyous day. Shall we eat out?"

"We mustn't be extravagant. I've already cooked. There's your favorite smoked steak," Ada said, reaching out and tapping Silas's forehead.

Silas chuckled. "Ada's smoked steak is top-notch! It's dozens of times better than those restaurants!"
