Chapter 562: Could it be that Li Chen could snatch it from the Pope? (Seeking subscriptions)

Li Chen had been staying at Alfred's manor for some time.

During this period, when the maids and guards in the manor saw Li Chen, their enthusiasm was even more exaggerated than when they saw their own master, Alfred.

Every time Li Chen passed through the corridor, the maids would bow with blushing faces, their eyes full of worship; the guards would stand even straighter, wishing they could carve the word "respect" on their foreheads.

The most outrageous were Alfred's five wives.

The first lady, Guinevere, had now become Li Chen's personal secretary, following Li Chen around all day; the second lady, Sophia, wished she could grow on Li Chen; the remaining three wives also showed their own magical powers, trying every way to get close to Li Chen.

In the entire manor, they were the most "enthusiastic" toward Li Chen.

And the most unexpected thing was the change in Alfred's own attitude.

Ever since being blasted away by Guinevere's "Holy Light Judgment," this Holy Descendant young master had become completely honest.

He was now respectful to Li Chen, greeting him every morning and evening, even more diligently than serving his own father.

Anyone who didn't know would think Li Chen was the true master of this manor.

"Personal Guard, this is the fruit that arrived today. It was air-freighted from the Elf Forest in the south. It is said to have the effect of prolonging life." Alfred personally carried the fruit platter, his face full of fawning smiles.

Li Chen lay lazily on the soft couch, casually picking a grape and throwing it into his mouth: "Hmm, not bad."

During this period, Li Chen's reputation had spread throughout this border city.

The purple crystal token personally bestowed by the Pope was not something to be trifled with. There were no more than three people in the entire Holy See who possessed such a token. Even those cardinals with very high status and terrifying strength didn't have one.

Although the token itself didn't have very high authority, and seeing the token didn't mean seeing the Pope, the identity of "Pope's confidant" was enough to make everyone awe him by three points.

To put it bluntly, even if Emperor Charles of the Eternal Day Empire came in person, he would have to be polite when seeing Li Chen.

Of course, if Charles really saw Li Chen, his attitude would certainly be polite.

Nobles and Holy Descendants came to visit the manor every day, but Alfred turned them all away.

With his status and position, he didn't need to give face to these powerful figures in remote areas at all.

Even the bishop of the city's church came to visit in person, but was dismissed by Alfred with a single sentence: "The Personal Guard is busy."

Alfred had asked Li Chen tremblingly at the time: "You want me to say that? That is the Bishop!"

The bishop of a city's cathedral really didn't have a low rank.

Li Chen threw the purple crystal token directly to him: "Take this and go."

Li Chen was indeed afraid of being exposed; after all, he really couldn't use Holy Light, he was purely bluffing.

He had just arrived in this place and hadn't played enough yet, so he didn't want to reveal his identity.

When Alfred appeared before the bishop holding the token, that bishop, who was usually high and mighty, actually knelt down directly!

Alfred had never felt so proud in his life. Before, he had to bow and scrape when seeing the bishop, but now it was the other way around!

Alfred told the bishop to get lost, and the bishop really got lost, even apologizing for offending him and asking Alfred to help him apologize to Li Chen.

The bishop even searched for his own problems, feeling that his faith was not firm enough.

After the bishop got lost, Alfred boasted proudly to the guards: "See that? This is the benefit of hanging out with the Personal Guard! There must be the Pope's sacred aura on this; just touching it makes me feel my faith value skyrocketing! The injuries I suffered a few days ago are all fine!"

As he spoke, he touched the token again and again like a treasure.

Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. Guinevere soon came to take the token back: "The Personal Guard asked me to come and take back the token."

She was now completely acting as Li Chen's spokesperson in her words and actions.

Although Alfred was reluctant, how could he dare to say a word of "no"? He could only watch the token being taken away, thinking sourly in his heart: Now even my wife has become someone else's secretary...

And at this moment, Li Chen was enjoying Guinevere's meticulous "service." ===== CHAPTER 563 =====
