Rhine took out a golden scroll and gently pushed it out. The scroll was enveloped by an invisible force and floated towards Heatherine.
Saintess Heatherine took the scroll, glanced at Elder Rhine with a puzzled look, and then opened the scroll to read it.
The scroll wasn't long, but Heatherling studied it for a long time. Her aura kept changing, sometimes violent and sometimes cold and still. Her white gauze dress fluttered and trembled even without wind.
The atmosphere in the entire council chamber began to become violent, on the verge of spiraling out of control, and at the center of this storm was Heatherine, who was trembling all over.
"You should know that since the Grand Elder used a golden scroll, this matter has been approved by the Elder Council, and neither you nor I can resist it."
Seeing Heatherine about to destroy the council hall, Elder Rhine sighed and said, "This Qin Mo is highly valued by the Great Xia Imperial Family. When our secret envoy arrived in the Great Xia capital, he had already left his territory and was traveling to the Western Continent. Otherwise, Great Xia would definitely not have allowed him to come to the Holy Temple, and we would have had no way to contact him. Great Xia would never allow us to use force against him, so..."
"So you want me to be a servant of the saints? Just because I used to be a servant of the saints? Hahahahahahaha!"
Seeing Heatherine on the verge of madness, Elder Rhine shouted, "Heatherine, do you know how many people die on our entire defensive line every year? Do you know that our enmity with the orcs is irreconcilable? Saving the lives of countless believers is your responsibility as a saint!"
Hot tears streamed down Saint Heather's beautiful eyes as she murmured, "Is my duty to deceive kind people?"
Elder Rhine was taken aback. He thought that Saintess Heatherine was ashamed of the task given to her by the temple, but he did not expect that she was uneasy because of Qin Mo's deception.
“That makes things easier…” Elder Rhine softened his tone as much as possible and whispered his advice: “The Great Xia has been at odds with the Orcs for hundreds of years without any victories, but after Qin Mo presented the cannons to the Great Xia imperial family, the Orcs were immediately driven out of the country by nearly two thousand miles. We must obtain it, not only to deal with the Orcs… but also to… guard against the Great Xia.”
Heatherine's trembling body gradually calmed down, her eyes becoming lifeless.
"After I finish this, should I go and stay with my teacher?"
“Saintess Thea is different from you. She defiled her own pure heart, while you… sacrificed yourself for the light…”
Elder Ryan looked at the lifeless saintess, frowned and tried to explain. To explain a despicable act of seduction as a sacrifice required profound skill. Rhine finally felt powerless.
