Chapter 543 The Punishment from Raine: Unable to Get Out of Bed for a Month Inside the Secret Palace.
Renn lay on the bed, holding Joan of Arc, who had fallen asleep exhausted after a night of passion, his hands wandering restlessly over her naked body.
After three days of treatment by Granger, Joan of Arc's hand injuries had fully healed, losing their former ferocity and returning to their soft, white, jade-like shape.
A few days after the magic base was completed, Renn stayed at the Church of Light for a while and had a good talk with Joan of Arc, a young girl who was deeply in love, about the true meaning of life.
However, it must be said that although Joan of Arc was a saint from the previous generation of the Church of Light, she had very little understanding of the true meaning of life.
In most cases, Raine would guide Joan of Arc with some knowledge, and then let Joan of Arc, who had just learned it, put it into practice on her own.
Just as Renn was lying on the bed with Joan of Arc in his arms, his mental energy inside the church detected someone he recognized.
It was High Priest Wood who brought him into the Holy Land of Light.
For some unknown reason, Wood had been promoted from High Priest to Archbishop of the Blue Robes, and was now standing at the palace gate wearing a sky-blue robe.
Raine removed his arm from under Joan's head, covered her pale body with a blanket, changed his clothes, and left the secret realm.
"What is it?" Ryan asked, teleporting to Wood's side.
The sudden appearance of Ryan next to Wood startled him.
Wood smiled and performed the church salute to Raine, not daring to slight this old man who had killed the Fifth Elder and was still alive and kicking.
"Lord Renn, His Holiness the Pope says that the nine punishments for the Fourth Elder Jokic are about to begin, and requests your presence."
Renn waved his hand and said, "Tell His Majesty that I will not be going. I believe he will not break the contract."
"Otherwise, if I find out that the Church of Light is in trouble, I don't know when I'll be there."
Wood wiped the cold sweat that had appeared on his forehead without him noticing, and forced a smile as he agreed.
"I understand, and I will relay this to His Holiness the Pope."
Wood both respected and feared this old man, but he had also figured out the old man's style of doing things.
As long as you don't go against him, this guy is quite easy to talk to, at least in his opinion...
"Does Lord Renn have any other matters for Wood to attend to? If not, Wood will return and report to His Holiness the Pope."
“No, go back.” Ryan vanished from Wood’s sight in an instant.
Wood bowed again to the spot where Raine had just disappeared, then left the palace.
Raine returned to the secret palace and sat on the balcony of his room, drinking red tea.
The Church of Light has been extremely busy lately.
The once deserted roads of the Holy Land are now filled with priests and nuns, and the construction of the Holy Land and the City of Light is proceeding in an orderly manner.
The Church of Light invited a large number of dwarven craftsmen to the City of Light for repairs.
The dwarven craftsmen were extremely skilled, and in the nearly one week that Raine stayed at the Saintess Palace, one-fifth of the repair work on the City of Light was completed.
Because the Sanctuary was the least damaged, it was repaired the fastest.
Raine put down his teacup and looked at the laughing maids in the garden in front of the palace, speaking softly.
"It's time to leave and head to the Elf Forest."
Three more days slipped through Rennes' fingers.
Joan of Arc hadn't gotten out of bed all week, either discussing the mysteries of life with Renn or sleeping soundly.
Raine told Jeanne that this was her punishment; he had given her a long-distance communication magic scroll that would allow her to contact him, yet the girl was being tortured without telling him.
So Raine planned to keep Joan of Arc bedridden for a month, so that she would learn her lesson.
Kindness is good, but there are times when it's appropriate.
