Chapter 522: Chapter 17: The Holy Daughter of Light’s Scheme

“Your Holiness, the Holy Daughter!” Two Light Priests greeted.

Julia stood up and turned her head, her face gloomy as she said, “Speak.”

If she doesn’t avenge this grudge, it’s simply impossible to swallow this breath, and it’s almost to the point where she can’t continue her cultivation.

Therefore, from the time she returned, Julia began to lay out plans, preparing for a war to overthrow the Ivory Tower and the Ramding Kingdom, and these two Light Priests before her were sent to investigate intelligence.

“Yes.”

One Light Priest stood up and said, “According to our investigation, the Ramding Kingdom has indeed made some military deployments in recent months. They have rebuilt a fortress at the place intersecting with our border, it seems the previous rumors had an effect.”

Although she is the supreme leader of the Light Church, she technically does not have the authority to initiate war, so Julia has to find other ways.

For this, she made several preparations.

Firstly, she arranged some personnel to spread rumors in the Ramding Kingdom, which were not exactly rumors, just plain truths, claiming that the Holy Daughter of Light was ambushed during her visit to the Ramding Kingdom for mass and was very angry about it. All of Karina’s Orendale is preparing to wage war on the Ramding Kingdom to flatten it.

The effect of this rumor was evident.

The Ramding Kingdom immediately sent envoys to Fiery Flame City for negotiations. Although the Council explicitly stated that this was a rumor, Julia did not meet with the envoys, and such an ambiguous reply was predictable.

No matter if the Ramding Kingdom believes it or not, they would certainly have to make some preparations for war at this time.

Of course, trying to provoke war with just this is a bit far-fetched.

Therefore, Julia also employed a second tactic.

She asked, “What about the situation with Dungeon 2186, what’s going on over there?”

Dungeon 2186 is located on the border between the Ramding Kingdom and Karina’s Orendale. This dungeon has been discovered for some time, and like other dungeons, it has been explored tepidly all along.

However, this dungeon has become lively recently.

This is because the Light Church publicly announced that adventurers exploring this dungeon would receive additional rewards and free treatment from the Church. Moreover, some outstanding adventurers would have the chance to meet the Holy Daughter.

Additionally,

any adventurer exploring this dungeon can take a bottle of Water of Life into the dungeon.

Water of Life is a magic potion filled with Life Power created by the Light Church using rare materials, it’s a genuine existence that can enhance a person’s Life Force after drinking it. Usually, only a select few adventurers have the chance to own it.

Nobody would dislike more life, and as soon as the Church announced this decision, a large number of adventurers swarmed into Dungeon 2186.

Another Light Priest stood up, “Reporting to the Holy Daughter, this month’s conflicts are six more than last month’s, and six adventurers’ bodies have been found in the Forest. Moreover, two adventurer teams are missing.”

“The Blood Knight Order has already sent people to investigate. According to the reviewed information, there is substantial evidence proving that it’s the work of Ramding’s Nobles.”

Dungeon 2186 is a one-way dungeon; the entrance is within Karina’s Orendale, but the exit is within the Ramding Kingdom, which means that every adventurer exploring the dungeon must exit through the Ramding Kingdom.

Carrying the precious Water of Life, which can cure all diseases and extend life, appearing in an unguarded enemy territory, it’s clear what would happen.

Especially since Julia previously announced that no one from the Ramding Kingdom would be granted the Water of Life.

For a time, these adventurers became walking fat sheep, and many Nobles from the Ramding Kingdom gathered in groups at the dungeon’s exit to specifically ambush these adventurers and robbery of their Water of Life.

In just a few months, similar incidents have occurred dozens of times, with the number of dead adventurers reaching triple digits.

Julia sneered, “Very good!”

She knew that these adventurers were the Achilles’ heel of the Fiery Flame City Council, and of Lynch. If it were anything else, perhaps they would choose to compromise and appease, but if adventurers were involved, nothing could prevent the outbreak of war.

Afraid that Lynch would settle accounts with her?

Julia had considered this question, but maybe being in a high position for a long time made her somewhat lose her rationality, but more importantly, Julia analyzed that last time, even after causing such a significant incident, Lynch didn’t choose to punish her. Why is this?

The difficulty in replacing the position of the Holy Daughter of Light is one point, but more importantly, Julia believes that currently, no one is more suited to this position than herself!

Although Lynch now seems content and unconcerned with worldly affairs, Julia understands that he’s merely temporarily retracting his claws and ambitions. His goal is to explore this vast underground ruin, which requires a vast amount of manpower, and the current Witch Domain cannot satiate his appetite.

And given the need to expand territories and conquer all sides, the Holy Daughter who conveys his Faith and instills his will cannot be a gentle and weak woman; he needs someone like her, equally ambitious and unwilling to be subordinate!

While now she is secretly pushing for war, although it seems on the surface to go against Lynch’s development plan, in essence, she is carrying out his will and thoughts. Perhaps he might be dissatisfied, but he cannot act against her.

We have to say, people are tempered by their experiences, and the type of stage they stand on naturally determines the kind of life they will lead.

Julia might have been an obscure, unremarkable little apprentice before. However, once she donned the halo of the Holy Daughter of Light, and when she’s at the center of this power struggle, she naturally grasps certain things as if by instinct.

In short,

the current Julia is no longer the little apprentice who could be easily manipulated, even if obliged with just paperwork. Follow current novels on n0velfire.net

Now, Julia is the Holy Daughter of Light!

She is the closest person in this world to the Light Goddess, the spokesperson of God, the executor of God’s power in the world!

Before the Divine has descended upon the world…

She,

is God!

A trace of coldness flashed in Julia’s eyes, and she coldly said, “Spread the news, let the whole city know, tell everyone, adventurers have been killed in the Ramding Kingdom!”
