Chapter 241 Bishop Morgan Declares He Is Not a Pedophile

"The gods do not favor children with eyebrow pencil."

[An Su Moningsta (16), beginning the order of succession draw]

The sheet of sunlight before his eyes transformed, with brilliant golden rays constantly twisting and pulsating, forming one after another exquisite and arcane sacred patterns, all of which were the Holy Imprints of the Seven Great Churches.

An Su fixed his gaze and first saw the 'Healing' belief seal, comprised of angel wings and a scepter, followed by the Druid Sect's emblem, formed from a great tree and antlers... One after the other, the holy emblems lined up in succession, their appearance order corresponding to An Su's sequence of entering the rooms.

Accordingly, they were:

Healing, Chastity, Druid, Alchemy, Order, Radiance, Star.

An Su slightly furrowed his brow, looking at the order of rooms he was to enter the arena in. The sequence wasn't great.

Against Princess Cersei, if An Su wanted to win, he needed to pass through at least six rooms, so the more suitable rooms were better placed earlier on, with the hardest rooms ideally at the end.

But now, the two he was weakest at were right at the front.

The first was the Healing belief.

Though An Su proclaimed himself as a saint of the medical arts, able to guarantee a two hundred percent survival rate in the emergency room—even achieving zero negative feedback from all patients, perfectly handling the frequent medical disputes—he was widely recognized in the Chaotic Frontier.

Yet, 'letting patients have twins and then sacrificing them'—such advanced, civilized, and scientific medical techniques were too far ahead of the times; these backward, blood-drinking natives of another world probably wouldn't be able to accept it.

Then there was the Chastity belief.

This sect was the second most niche among the seven major sects and possessed the highest difficulty for a Church's exams; only a handful of saints qualified to enter—its saints' initiations required the approval of a holy creature designated by the goddess, the unicorns, known for their peculiar and perverted virgin obsessions.

After all, no one was like the perennial virgin Merlin, who was naturally a Sacred Body of the Chastity Sect; it was a pity that he had bad luck with the Radiant Holy See and could not shine and thrive within the Chastity Cathedral. Continue your adventure with My Virtual Library Empire

However, maintaining chastity was just the minimum requirement.

Chastity Church was formally known as 'Chastity and Suffering Church,' and its followers were not referred to as 'saints' but should be called ascetics or sufferers.

Just as the Druid Court corresponds with the Esoteric Sect's Life Ecclesia, and the Order Church with the Sanctuary of Chaos,

the Chastity Church corresponded with the Esoteric Sect's Painful Church.

Through decades of physical suffering rituals and spiritual cleansing decrees, they sought power, with 'suffering' as their life's pursuit. Their magical system was also associated with 'suffering'. Born into the Chenxing family, An Su had hardly experienced hardship, so his understanding of this sect was not profound.

Ascetics adopted a variety of ways to practice, all in all, it involved actively seeking suffering, imposing various restrictions and decrees upon themselves in life, but during combat, they could turn those decrees upon their enemies.

Some emulated the monks of Eastern nations, practicing silent meditations for over a decade without speaking, aiming to achieve the highest-tier Silence Decree, desiring to ban their enemies' magic incantations in battle.

Now, this gentleman has made some accomplishments; once he issued his Silence Decree, his opponents contracted the most severe halitosis, potentially knocking themselves unconscious as soon as they chanted, effectively achieving silence on a physical level.

Others ascetics were more traditional yet enjoyed cosplaying. After re

An Su gently knitted his brows, and then he noticed new text forming before him in the entangled light. He looked carefully, and his brows abruptly rose,
