Chapter 136 Just Tell Me If It Counts

This...is dead?

Seeing that Leon killed the bishop of the Scales of Gold Church with just one glance, and looked at them with a fierce look, the rest of the people in the room couldn't help but tremble.

The old man of the Massenei family was the first to react. He fell to his knees with a thud, just avoiding the invisible hand that was pinching his head.

"Have mercy! I don't know her well!"

With his good demonstration, the three people from Ryan's family immediately followed suit, falling to their knees one after another, and their voices of begging for mercy rang out one after another.

"I don't know her either!"

"We really don't know what she did!"

"Your Excellency the Duke! I am someone close to the old Duke!"

It has to be said that among those who can climb to a high position in such a large family, almost no one is slow in reaction. The three old men of the Ryan family knelt faster than the other, and after they took the initiative to lower their height, the iconic little golden retriever finally squeezed into Lyon's eyes.

Calling me Duke, and having blonde hair...

Looking at the three rather sparsely populated heads in front of him, and recognizing one of them as the old duke's butler, Leon was startled for a moment, then subconsciously frowned.

"You are actually from the Chengjin Sect?"

"no no!"

Fearing that the three people from the Ryan family would sell him out, the old man from the Rose family hurriedly said:
"We are not from the Scale Gold Cult! We just asked her to help find someone. I am the Earl of the Rose Family! My Lord Duke! I am related to your family by marriage!"

"Yes, yes, we have nothing to do with the Chengjin Cult."

"Yes, yes, we are all from Ryan's family."

"I am the newly elected head of the Ryan family. He is the last remaining elder of the clan. We are all your people!"

"..."

Damn it, I shouldn’t have asked.

Looking at the three little...old golden retrievers in front of him, Leon couldn't help but let out a slight annoyance.

Since these three golden retrievers from Ryan's family were able to escape Ryan's Bloody Night and were not killed directly by him with the help of [Heart of Ambition], they are certainly not the type who have committed heinous crimes.

However, according to the Ryan family's excellent average moral standards, although these three are not extremely bad, they are not good people at all. At most, they can be regarded as bastards with a hint of humanity in them.

……

Although he wanted to pretend that he had not asked and send these people away, but considering that he was still suspected of causing Ryan's bloody night, and the director's repeated requests before departure, Leon finally gave up this tempting plan and asked unkindly:

"So... this is still Rose Manor? Was it the Archbishop of the Scales of Gold who brought me back?"

"Yes, yes, she did it all!"

Seeing that Leon seemed to have given up his plan to take action, the old men present couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then desperately threw the pot at the headless corpse on the ground.

"You left a note and left. We just wanted to find you back. She insisted on doing this!"

"Yes, yes, she wanted to trick you into joining the Scale Gold Cult, and then ask that cat spirit to bring you here!"

"She must be coveting us...coveting the Ryan family's property under your name!"

"..."

After understanding the general situation from the slightly confusing descriptions of the old men, Leon said in a somewhat surprised tone:

"So, after she forcibly moved me here, I had the mark of the Chengjin Sect on my body, which makes me a member of the Chengjin Sect?"

"Well...we don't know either, but she did say that..."

"..."

Outrageous... Even though I talked the Holy Spirit of the Scale Gold Church to death and just killed a high-level bishop, I have now directly obtained the identity of a Scale Gold Church member... After shaking his head speechlessly, Leon opened the badge panel and looked at the flashing Holy Spirit badge.

[Practitioner (Silver): You have killed a large number of evil pagans with your own hands, and spread the reputation of the Scales of Gold Church in the world. Your efforts have been deeply recognized by the followers of the Scales of Gold Church and the Holy Spirits.]

[Effect of wearing: Affinity with abnormal objects with the "holy" mark is greatly increased, reducing the cost of use while greatly enhancing the effect of use]

[Advanced route: Become a bishop of a branch of the Chengjin Sect, or preach your understanding of the doctrine to 0 Chengjin Sect followers and gain their approval. This badge will automatically be promoted to the gold badge "Agent", and the progress of preaching the doctrine to the followers is 3000/]

[Hidden Features (No Need to Wear): As you practice the teachings of the Scales Religion, your soul becomes more resolute and pure, and you will be more likely to gain the favor of certain orderly beings.]

"..."

Well, this was a blessing in disguise. It saved me a lot of trouble.

After looking at the advancement route of the [Practitioner] badge, Leon couldn't help but frown again, then squinted his eyes and looked at the old man with a rose embroidered on his chest, and said with certainty:
"Did you just lie?"

"I...I didn't..."

"You'd better not deny it so quickly."

After looking at the rose emblem on the old man's chest, Leon said:

"It's no secret that your Masaini family is in collusion with the Cult of the Golden Cult. That's why the three of them came to you for help after I left without saying goodbye. Am I right?"

"It's not really a help..."

At this moment, the old butler beside him reminded cautiously:
"Your Excellency the Duke, when it comes to finding your whereabouts, Lord Sam asked for a high price, and he also said that he didn't want it himself, but was asking for it on behalf of the bishop..."

"It hasn't been paid yet! I don't want anything now! And I can also pay you back the money I invested in Rose Department Store!"

Having seen that Leon was probably not on good terms with the Scale Gold Cult, after promising to return all the money, the old man of the Rose Family said with a sad face:

"Your Excellency the Duke! Our family really has not colluded with the Chengjin Cult. We just have some small cooperation from time to time. Please don't..."

"I want to be the bishop of the Scale Gold Church."

"what?"

Looking at the old man in front of him with his mouth wide open and confusion in his eyes, Leon repeated it patiently.

"Tell me, what should I do to become the bishop of the Scale Gold Cult?"

???

No... you just killed someone else's bishop two minutes ago, but when you heard that you were also a member of the Church of Scales of Gold, you switched sides without saying a word. Not only did you accept your new identity, you also aspired to become the bishop of the Church of Scales of Gold?

Are you too adaptable?

Looking at the serious face of Leon in front of him, after confirming that the new Duke of Lionheart was not joking and really intended to do so, the old man's somewhat dry lips moved twice, and then he said helplessly:

"Well... there are three branches in the Chengjin Sect, and each branch has a maximum of three bishops at the same time. If you want to become a bishop, you must first be recommended by at least two bishops, and they must be from different branches. Then, you must participate in three gatherings and gain the recognition of the believers..."

"That's too much trouble. Is there a faster way?"

"Well... that means he must be personally designated by the True God, or recognized by one of the three... two Holy Spirits. He will be stained with their aura, and can also be directly recognized by those people of the Chengjin Sect."

That's it...

After listening to the words of the old man of the Rose Family, Leon couldn't help but frowned slightly.

It was impossible for the true God to personally appoint him. He had killed his Holy Spirit with his mouth. The probability of the True God of the Golden Scale Church biting him to death was greater than the probability of him personally appointing him as the Bishop. As for the Holy Spirit's approval...

"Well, let me ask you."

After touching the Holy Spirit Pendant on his chest, Leon asked seriously:
"If I kill a holy spirit, but make it into a... um... ornament and wear it all the time, can it be considered as having its aura? Can it be recognized?"
